Defined Training

Amazing coaches, facilities, and community. If you've ever wondered about what a Crossfit/functional training program is like, Defined is great place to get started. The coaches review all the movements each class and will correct you during class so that you don't injure yourself. They will scale to you as a person so don't worry about "keeping up with the jones". For those who are more experienced, this box offers plenty of challenges during the WODs. Also....their instagram is 🔥

I joined Defined back in October of 2020 and have nothing but great things to say about the facility, staff, equipment, and overall vibe of the gym. Every member of the coaching staff is very knowledgeable about proper form and technique. They are always willing to lend a helping hand or provide useable critiques to your form to make sure you continue to make progress in whatever your goals are, as well as just being awesome people! Speaking of awesome people, the other members of the gym also contribute to this motivating and exciting vibe of Defined and are a pleasure to be around and work out with. Even in the peaks of COVID, I always felt safe as the gym is laid out perfectly for social distancing and the staff really drives home to clean equipment, maintain social distancing, and to keep masks on. If you are wanting to make progress in your Olympic lifts, they also have an exceptional Olympic weightlifting program/classes during the week that really contributed to me becoming more technically sound and increasing my PRs. Highly recommend joining this gym!

I can't say enough good things about this gym. The coaches and members are welcoming, encouraging, and extremely helpful. Especially during Covid, the coaches were able to acclimate to make everyone feel safe. Best decision to join ever!

Great CrossFit box in North side of Chicago. I was in town visiting family and needed a place to work out. David, the owner, was kind enough to arrange a short term membership for me.The coaches, Sarah, Cara, and Ben, were excellent. Great atmosphere and people. Spacious and clean place. COVID-19 protective measures were in place (distancing, mask wearing, sanitizing) and people were taking it seriously. Felt safe training in the gym and had a great time.Thanks David and coaches! Will definitely stop by for some classes next time I am Chicago.

All coaches are highly skilled with expertise regarding workout programming and nutritional planning. Atmosphere is inviting, motivating, challenging and forward thinking. I’ve never had a boring day at Defined and have seen substantial progress since joining. Defined is without a doubt the best place I’ve ever worked out at and an excellent team to be apart of!

Great environment! From the coaches to the members, everyone is supportive and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The programming is on point with good weekly progressions for advanced lifters and regressions for beginner lifters.I can't recommend this gym enough!

CFD is my happy place! The coaches are super helpful, attentive and kind. They give great feedback, and offer smart modifications in cases where a movement might still be beyond your reach. Each coach has his or her own unique teaching style, but they all bring positivity, encouragement and pretty good playlists to class. Kevin is hilarious and makes each class fun, Cara and Sarah are wicked strong, confident, badass women. Igor is always willing to take time to give each athlete individual attention and support, and David goes out of his way to make everyone feel like family. It's the best gym in the city.

CrossFit can be intimidating, but it's been such a welcoming environment at Defined! Everyone is extremely friendly, open, and supportive of each other. People lift each other up during and after workouts, which leads to a fabulous and positive workout. No matter your starting point, the coaches are there to support and help you grow as an athlete!

Lunge Ladies training at the Defined gym is the best! The space is enormous and airy. Sarah and Cara are excellent coaches-inspiring their athletes to get stronger safely. Highly recommend.

Started going to this box pre-covid, but went on a bit of a hiatus for quarantine. It reopened in July with awesome safety measures including dedicated space for each athlete, required hand washing upon arrival, advanced sign-ups for classes, required mask wearing, and equipment sanitization. Definitely helps me feel safe as I’m working out.The coaches here are amazingly supportive and definitely try to safely push you to the next tier. In my short tenure here, I’m already surprised at what I’m physically able to do. If you are looking for a gym that will help push you to hit your goals, look no further!
