CrossFit Rise

Highly recommend this place for beginners and pros alike. All the trainers are amazing especially Justin who takes the time to make sure you are doing the workout with proper form and keeps an eye on every single person in the class. This place will definitely motivate you to push harder and learn more. Shout-out to Farah who is super awesome and keeps it fun.

In general CrossFit is a great community and a fun way to improve health and fitness. What stands out to me about CrossFit Rise specifically:-Diverse, welcoming community and friendly atmosphere-Focused, knowledgable coaches who are helping people with form, etc. throughout the class—I learn something every time I take a class-Really fantastic onboarding and beginner classes—respectful and safe while being effective and a good challenge-Family/life friendly—kids room so they can play while mom or dad get in a workout and lots of class times so you can fit in your training around workThis is the best investment you can make in yourself!

I dropped in twice this week while in town for my company's meetup. The programming was fun, educational, and challenging. Coach/owner Justin was super friendly and helpful. The space was large and had everything you could ever need for a workout. I'm definitely making CrossFit Rise a regular stop when I go back.

Great coaches, great space, great people! If you're looking for a Crossfit gym, this is where you should be. The programming for all classes is phenomenal.

Infraestructure and space available are very good as well as the trainers who keep you motivated. They also help you a lot to correct your movements and improve your performance.You will feel welcomed by the other crossfitters. The large number of members show a diverse level of expertise.Plenty of space for parking.Schedule has many different hours and will accommodate for most people needs.I recommend this place.

Crossfit Rise is hands down the best Crossfit gym in the Northwest Chicago Suburbs. The coaching staff is very talented and the different class options make the Crossfit Rise a place for anyone to join.

We dropped in prior to catching a flight and everyone was extremely hospitable and kind. The class was run efficient and effective from warm up to cool down. Justin coached a streamlined class but still took time to offer salient cues and tips. I've been Crossfitting for nearly a decade and at many gyms yet this one stands out above many others.

It is fun, engaging and energizing. I taught Yoga for 28 years and I noticed I was losing strength, I couldn't hold the postures as well any more. Now I have awesome arm muscles and am stronger everywhere.I attend the Fitness level at CrossFit Rise. Justin, is an excellent coach. He provides engaging work outs of the day and scales things so I feel accomplished but not pushed to the point of injury. He is great at guiding us to have proper form. I notice when I do use good form it is actually easier to perform the task.Jessica/the owner is also fun and warm and dedicated to helping others be healthy, strong and to be community minded. She promotes people really caring and encouraging each other in the process. Hence, it is a great group of friendly people. I absolutely love Crossfit Rise.btw. I still do Meditate and do Yoga daily. And my practice keeps improving now that my body is stronger and healthier.Go, it's awesome.Sandhya, Schaumburg IL

I am not a member of Crossfit Rise, nor have I ever had the privilege of training at their facility. Despite this, I have had such an amazing experience with Rise’s community that it would be a shame not to publically express my admiration and appreciation.Participating in the Roger DeGarmo Mid-American Weightlifting Championship as my first competition, I had a natural anxiety and many nerve-racking moments. Regardless of my level of stress, professional Rise coaches provided reassurance and patient volunteers echoed my excitement with smiles. The overall environment at CrossFit Rise during my competition was phenomenal and I would encourage anyone to participate in a competition held at their facility. My experience as a lifter alone is cause for a stellar review of the Rise community, but it was truly my role as a volunteer the following day that only deepened my initial impressions.Upon my arrival as a volunteer, I was met with an informed staff and patient instructions. As a bar loader with no prior experience with weights in kilograms, nor an understanding of the efficient strategy of loading bars, I was given adequate modeling and opportunities to learn the skill in a time restricted environment. Justin Ehrhardt was a proficient instructor, maintaining a professional demeanor despite juggling multiple responsibilities. He had an infectious smile that calmed my nerves while I made many mistakes, including dropping or forgetting plates. Mike Porters displayed an incredible level of patience as I was constantly seeking mathematical affirmation of the next plates to be loaded. He also had a wonderful nature, laughing while exchanging funny jokes or stories. Jessica Schulz was lovely, providing a comfortable environment and informing me when I had opportunities to eat or for breaks. She also assisted as needed for loading and instruction, while maintaining her task of monitoring the clock for the lifters.They all engaged in genuine conversation, yet nothing could parallel their passionate dedication to efficiently loading a bar, ensuring a flawless competition and a great experience for the competitors. The experience with Justin, Mike and Jessica was incredible and I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with all of them. With all of their talents combined, I was taught by their knowledge, encouraged by their smiles and inspired by their passion. It was apparent that they were not only passionate about their role as a volunteer and support system for the weight lifting competition, but they were incredibly dedicated to making everyone’s experience a fantastic one.As I received only a small snapshot of the Rise community as a participant and a volunteer, I can only imagine that that snapshot just skims the surface of the entire body of talented professionals at CrossFit Rise. I observed countless other amazing coaches and staff at the competition who were contributing their individual talents as an MC, DJ, weigh-in monitor, gear salesperson, etc.Overall, I am greatly impressed by the passionate professionalism of the coaches and staff. I am not a member of Crossfit Rise, nor have I ever had the privilege of training at their facility, but based on my experience at the competition, I would be incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such inspiring people. Thank you very much for your kindness, patience and continued efforts to make the world a happier and stronger place!

I am thrilled with the professionalism, knowledge and organization of the owners and staff at Crossfit Rise. I have been a client now for over 3 years and my fitness continues to improve. I can not say enough good things about this facility. I recommend this place regularly to people I meet in the community.
