Edgewater CrossFit

I have been a member of Edgewater CrossFit (previously a member of their sister gym, Lincoln Park CrossFit) for several years and have seen amazing results. Justin and Tom (along with all of the other coaches) foster an environment of inclusiveness and always put safety first. Additionally, after coming back from an injury, not related to CrossFit, I was welcomed back with open arms. They are realistic about introducing or re-​introducing you to CrossFit and help you scale appropriately. Furthermore, Tom is always passionate and willing to help me with mobility to prevent injuries, as well. If you want to challenge yourself daily, be surrounded by supportive people, and have fun while working out, this is the place for you.

The coaches do a great job of encouraging you to push your hardest. They are very welcome to newcomers to Crossfit!

Bro, do you even crossfit!!!
Switched over to this gym a couple months back, as we were looking for a new gym closer to home, and it has been a great experience. Contacted the owner Justin early on, and he quoted us at a very fair rate, and much better pricing than other CF gyms around. He let us come to as many classes as we wanted to get a feel for the place and make the transition easier. We did our first workout with Tom and right away we could see it was going to be a good fit.
The gym itself is great, it’s less than a year old, has plenty of lifiting platforms and the middle of the gym is lined with astro turf to get those quads burning on prowler pushes. The coaches are awesome, I’ve picked up a ton of great tips from John and Sarah so far… and they are beasts when they are going at it on their own workouts. Sarah could probably knock me out with one punch left handed (probably not saying much if you know me… but you get the idea).
Check out this gym if you are looking at trying out the Crossfit thing, it seems like most people that start here don’t end up leaving.

I was introduced to Crossfit by a friend, while I was on vacation. The cross fitters were were so friendly and welcoming. And I loved the workout.
I came back to Chicago and looked up local Crossfit boxes. I found one in my neighborhood, Edgewater. I went in and was instantly welcomed by Tommy. I signed up for the foundations class to learn the basics. I am new to cross fit and am out of shape, so I was a little worried. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. They were all supportive and encouraging. I just love this place. I will be continuing.

Unfortunately this review is based on the exceptionally rude manners on the phone of a man named Justin, he was reluctant to quote prices on the phone to me, I practically had to beg him and after I told him my name he was even more reluctant to give me his and top of that he claimed that my questions were confrontational !! WTF. I am a seasoned gym rat and I have NEVER encountered such a nasty attitude toward a potential new customer. Based on that I will stick with EBAC

Edgewater CrossFit is an amazing facility! All of the coaches (Justin, Tommy, John, Sarah, Scott) are extremely professional and take the time to get to know each athletes’ strengths and weaknesses. I appreciate the individual coaching I receive during every workout, as well as the benefits from working out in a group and picking up on tips from the other athletes at the gym.
The facility is large and all of the different equipment is a blast to use. From flipping tires to pushing sleds to climbing ropes to rowing, you can do it all at Edgewater CrossFit, and more. Everyone is friendly and the gym is really like a second family to me.
I also enjoy the weekend classes. The Saturday team workouts are fun and I really enjoy the Sunday rowing class.
Before I started CrossFit, I was out of shape and in a rut. Now, I can’t wait to get to the gym. CrossFit provides a challenging workout in a positive and friendly environment. Everyone encourages each other to complete the workouts of the day (WODs) and we all take pride in the small (and sometimes big) accomplishments. I would definitely recommend Edgewater Crossfit!

Killer place! I have been to their other location in lincoln park which I love. When I heard about this new place I had to check it out. Great location and the best crossfit gym facility I have seen yet. The floor is custom turf and wood and the lighting is incredible. They have great bathrooms with showers too. These guys are great! I highly recommend checking them out. You will not be disappointed… I wasn’t.

I had heard about Crossfit from a few friends, so i decided to check it out. I saw a new place, Edgewater Crossfit, opened up conveniently located only a block from my apartment at Broadway and Bryn Mar so I thought it was destiny.
I walked in, was greatly by the super friendly and highly knowledgeable staff and signed up on the spot. I hadn’t plan on doing it so quick, but I figured it was a perfect match as my girlfriend had indicated I needed to drop 20lbs and these guys REALLY seemed to know what they are talking about and and where extremely non– intimidating for the new person to this régime.
I’ll been through part of the initial training and have learned a ton and actually feel some subtle changes. What a GREAT workout! This IS NOT your typical gym where they say do this, do some of that and jog on trend mill. You can see there is a sense of teamwork as they are tremendous motivators, super knowledgeable and ultra friendly physical fitness professionals. I can not say enough about Justin and Tom, hopefully they have the technology and can rebuild him. I’ll be back.

Brand new Crossfit gym in the neighborhood of Edgewater. I love this place! The coaches Justin and Tommy do a great job of training. Whether you are new to Crossfit or a seasoned vet, these guys have all the knowledge you need to get you where you want to go.
This place is a classic Crossfit (box) location in that is a very big open space with lots of room. There is a big section of AstroTurf, lifting platforms, pullup rigs, rowers, etc. You will be subjected to challenging programming that includes rope climbing, flipping tires, and Olympic lifting. The environment is very community based and everyone gets along well great. We push each other to achieve our goals and we hang out away from the gym. This place is my family away from home and I would recommend Edgewater Crossfit to anyone I know.
