Started Crossfit for the first time last fall with Xyston. Was warned by many not to participate because of the high risk of injury and I have to say that my experience to-date has been nothing but positive. Each time Ive gotten back into working out in the past, it wouldnt be long before Id get pain in my knee and/or upper back which would hinder my progress. The workouts at Xyston actually helped build my core and leg strength and this has been the longest that Ive gone without having any of those pains. I do have some recurring tendonitis in my elbow and Eazy tailors my workouts so that I am able to continue to participate without overdoing it. But enough about my injuries...lets talk more about the gym. Great facility- plenty of space and equipment. The location is right off of the highway and since it is on my way to work, I am able to avoid much of the morning traffic commute, get in a 5:30am workout, and then be in the office early. Coaches are great. Eazy and Andrew both do a great job of knowing your limits, pushing you more when you are capable of doing more and ensuring you have the proper form along the way. Ive never had such intense workouts in the past. Anyone who tries to compare the cost of Crossfit versus a regular gym is not understanding the true value of working out in the Crossfit environment. I highly recommend that you give Crossfit Xyston a try.

This is a great crossfit gym. Eazy the trainer/owner makes every workout unique and individualized for all types of gym goers. I first started going to this gym last year when I was out of shape and had no lung capacity. The first time we tried to do exercises such as climb rope to the ceiling or push-ups, I was lucky to get one. After just a week I noticed improvements and after a month I was doing things I didnt know I was physically able to do. I did however take some time off due to work and when I returned, I was remembered/welcomed back. In terms of price, you cant beat this gym. Ive searched other crossfit gyms just to compare, and this gym is always $5-20 cheaper. Also, classes are typically anywhere from 1-5 people, which allows for more one on one personal training. I personally get the 10 workout punch card for $125, which is $12.50 per session. Compared to personal training which I use to do, this is an extremely better deal. The gym offers the first week free. I suggest at the very least going and trying out this gym for a week to see how you like it. You wont lose anything except maybe some lbs. Hope this helps persuade your decision whichever you choose.

It took several years (and visiting five other boxes), but I’ve found the perfect mix of fitness, community support and encouragement in CF Hoffman Estates. You can find any place to work out, but you won’t find the camaraderie, exercise knowledge and sense of purpose as the trainers and members at CFHE. During my first visit, I told Eazy what my goals were, and he has managed to hold me accountable to them every week, and even massage a WOD or strength movement here or there to my benefit. Eazy, Gina and Matt have taken time to get know me, my goals and what motivates me. The other members are like family, not only encouraging you about your time on the “workout clock,” but taking a genuine interest in who you are and your life. That sense of belonging makes the workouts that much more enjoyable and encouraging. I live about an hour from CFHE and drive by half a dozen or more other boxes to get there, but I wouldn’t trade CFHE for anywhere else. Kudos to Eazy, Gina and Matt!

Ive been working out (lifting, running, etc.) pretty regularly for the last 15 years and stopped seeing improvements. I decided to change things up and joined Crossfit Hoffman Estates about 9 months ago. In those 9 months Ive seen huge gains in both my endurance and strength. I attribute this to trainers and a lot of hard work. They do a great job of motivating you and pushing you past your "mental" stopping point. The workouts are constantly changing and never repetitive. For the first time ever, I actually look forward to going to the gym. Dont be afraid to join, regardless of your abilities. A lot of these movements were new to me and it took me a while to get down. But the trainers were there for me the entire way and never got frustrated. Along with all of this you get a great community of people to workout with. Ive made new friends over those 9 months and always have a good time. Cant imagine going anywhere else now.

I started Crossfit in August 2014 when Xyston opened and I absolutely love this place, great staff and people! Coaches (Eazy and Andrew) are pretty good at identifying your skills and they will challenge you at a level they know you can accomplish, you’ll be surprised to find out how much you can do. Whatever your fitness goals may be, they will make sure you reach them. I don’t ever get bored at this place, Eazy varies workouts every single day to make sure we are using and strengthening different body parts. They also scale workouts so everybody can complete them at any fitness level. I don’t think I can go back to any other type of training, Crossfit is definitely the best workout I’ve ever done and Xyston takes it to the next level by giving me the motivation and extra push I need to keep on getting physically and mentally stronger. 100% recommended!

This place is awesome! Ive been to a few different Crossfit gyms in the area and this one is by far the best. Walking into a crossfit gym for the first time can be pretty intimidating but the people at this gym are down to earth good people that are just there to get in a good workout. The workouts here are TOUGH and will push you beyond what you thought you were ever capable of. If youre an experienced crossfitter, this is the place to be. If youre new to the world of crossfit, you should definitely check this place out. The coaches are some the best and will gladly show you scaled/modified versions for any movement so you can participate in the wods and be amazed by how quickly you improve. If youve ever thought about trying out Crossfit - THIS is the place you should checkout!

I have been going to CrossFit Xyston-Hoffman Estates for the two years since they opened in 2014 and love it. Eazy and the other trainers are very supportive and always encourage you to improve. Attention is always given to proper form. If you have an injury they will modify your routine so that you can still get a great workout while recovering. There is a great sense of camaraderie at this gym too - love that. CrossFit is challenging (especially at my age!) but even if I modify to my level, I get a better workout than anywhere else. Highly recommend.

Ive been going to Xyston since they opened in August 2014 and have been enjoying every session. The trainers are knowledgeable and ensure that you are using proper form throughout the workout. Dont worry about feeling intimidated if youre new to Crossfit because everyone is friendly and willing to help cheer you on to the finish line. Its a great workout and can be modified so that anyone can join in. Check out their website and stop by for a sweat session - you wont regret it!
