ChicagoFitLife & Crossfit Wheeling

Nice place. Tried to refer a few 3 – 4 friends to a certain trainer. Apparently that was considered «creepy». LOL They are now all training with another professional

Positive environment where the people who train push you to get better everyday. Clean gym. Friendly staff.

This gym is aweome — the facilities are new and in addition to the cross fit area they include a seperate indvidual workout area with weights and cardio equipment, a yoga studio and a locker room with showers. The trainers are qualified, motivating and make sure we push ourselves without gettting hurt.

Great atmosphere and always improving! The staff are freindly and knowledgeable! I recommend this gym for everyone!

I love this gym. I have been going here over a year now! The facilities are always clean and welcoming. The equipment is well maintained and diverse. You can find pretty much anything you need whether it be equipment, fitness or nutrition advise, training, motivation, or even yoga. The trainers and instructors are qualified, experienced, and friendly. One thing I have noticed, since I have been going here a while, is that they are always improving the facilities! Great local business and a pleasant change to the standard big box gym. It’s awesome to see a staff that does not just talk the talk but actually lives the life. If your thinking about checking this gym out, YOU SHOULD!

I never in a million years imagined myself in a cross fit class. My husband wanted to try something new so he convinced me to check out the facilities at CFL. I finally gave in and decided to take a look. First impression — the gym was clean & organized and the staff was super friendly. We decided to try the classes as they were offering a 1 week free trial. I was hesitant at first but I can honestly say that after one class, I was hooked. Mike (the owner) and Don (another cross fit coach) are very supportive and motivating. Since I was new to cross fit they worked with me during the classes to ensure I was using proper form. In addition, I was also really happy with the other students in the class. Everyone was friendly and encouraging so it really made it a positive environment. I ended up taking a yoga class too with Natalia and again — I was hooked. Natalia is super sweet and also emphasizes proper form. She will actually go around to each of the students to assist them in their poses. She is very knowledgeable on the practice of yoga so she is able to provide in depth details on the different poses. Bottomline — I am very impressed with CFL and all the coaches, staff and fellow students. Definitely give this gym a try — you will not be disappointed.

Clean facility, knowledgeable personal trainers and great place to do yoga!
I’m not a fitness buff who likes going to franchise gyms so I appreciate the fact that this place feels like a community, has multiple options for getting fit and I don’t have to feel intimidated.
I plan on making regular visits to CFL.

I absolutely LOVE this gym. I have had memberships at other places, but I’m not the type of person to go and push myself to work hard. But Mike, the owner, pushes me in the best way possible!
Throughout the workout, Mike watches to make sure you have good form and tells you when he thinks you can lift more, even when you don’t think you can! And he isn’t shy about telling you that you’re doing a good job.
I thought about getting the 3x/​week package, but I am so happy that I opted for the unlimited package. I am addicted now and I try to go to the Crossfit classes 4 – 5 times per week, and yoga at least once or twice a week. I highly recommend both classes because I think they work so well together! Nataliya is one of the regular yoga instructors and her Candlelight class is amazing.
This gym is clean, the staff is caring and attentive, and the people who attend the classes are a blast to sweat it out with!

I walked into ChicagoFitLife about a year ago with no previous Crossfit training. As a young female it can be easy to be intimidated by a Crossfit gym, but the owner Mike Hoffman made me feel right at home. Any new members get a lot of close attention to ensure they are using the proper form and that they aren’t lifting more weight then they can handle.
The gym is beautiful, clean, and they really make you feel like a family — from weekend BBQs to afternoon hangout sessions when the weather is nice. Its impossible not to form a bond with all of the employees as well as the other cross-​fitters that attend your classes.
This is the one workout where I really feel challenged and the next day I feel my workout. Not only do they have Crossfit, but there is also yoga, cycling, and an open gym. I highly recommend, you will never find a better fitfam than here.

This gym wowed me from the start; the gym was super clean, locker rooms were spotless. The staff was polite, exceptionally knowledgeable, even seasoned fitness gurus will benefit from the custom meal plans, individualized workouts. The group classes are well run, organized and the instructors do a great job pushing everyone but keeping the students with in their limits. I haven’t gotten to the yoga studio, but it is kept private and not viewable from the lobby or any other part of the gym. If you need real results and want to skip personal trainers with egos and «bro» science this is the place to be.

It’s a place to be in! I pursue great transformation after joining this place. The coaches are awesome and very skillful along with the members who are very motivational. Strongly recommend this place to everyone from people l who desires to gain fitness but procrastinates to people who already excels.

I f-​ing love this gym! Whether you powerlift, bodybuild, CrossFit, team sports, yoga… they have it all, from beginner to competition level, and the best of the best! I drive all the way from the city to come here!

Love working here!!! Super fun and energetic group of people!!! If your looking to get healthy once and for all this is the place to be! Super clean… Towels and showers!!! Don’t wait any longer!

I visited Chicago FitLife the last two times that I traveled to Wheeling and was incredibly impressed with the quality of the facility and how welcoming the coaches and staff were. I’d highly recommend that anyone traveling to this area of Chicago check out ChicagoFitLife

Ive been going here less then a year and I love it! Clean facilities and amazing Coaches!

I just moved to the area a few months ago and tried a number of other gyms without finding one that really fit. I found Chicago Fit Life online and decided to try it out. I was a bit skeptical about how the experience would be because I had never tried crossfit before. Thankfully, the first class was free so there wasn’t any real downside to giving it a try. I had an incredible first workout and made a decision to sign up after the first class. The owner, Mike, is extremely friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The yoga instructor, Laura, was also great. The people who were part of the work out class really had a welcoming culture. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area. It’s a pretty amazing place. For those curious, it also has a great standard free weight section, with nice equipment and treadmills.

The people at the front desk and the coaches/​trainers were amazing. My BF and I had our own workouts to do and there was more than enough room for the class and ourselves. The equipment was great and everything was so clean and organized. You will LOVE it! 5 stars!

The staff were more than accommodating and friendly. This gym is super impressive! All the best gear for proper training! This gym is an A++!! Loved it!

This brand new facility offers much more than I initially anticipated.
It’s obvious, from the minute you step foot in the door, that the owners are passionate about every last detail, and take tremendous pride in the presentation and upkeep. But anyone can offer you a great facility, right?
Here’s where they set themselves apart.(aside from having more equipment than I have ever seen)
They offer Crossfit, yoga, spin, strength training, nutrition, sports specific training, and powerlifting. Along with each area are these absolutely incredible specialists, all of whom are experts, ready to share their extensive knowledge. They all work together to provide the perfect atmosphere for growth at any fitness level, in any and all age and weight categories. You can count on being encouraged to reach your goals, and on feeling welcome, even if you’re asking for help.
They have really great packages to fit all budgets, including open gym with no contract, month by month plans. That’s how it began for me, and now I’m hooked!
If you’re looking to grow (or shrink), for a community of fitness oriented friends, for a place to unleash the stress of the day, or just a means to become a better version of yourself, you really should come by and give Chicago Fit Life a try.
I’ve been crossfitting here for a month, and I’ve learned so much in the short while I’ve had, that I’ve seen improvement across all categories. Mike has really helped me better understand hip activation in Olympic lifts and kips, which is driving my max lifts up, tremendously.
Change can be tough, I came from a great box, and I almost let my loyalty stope from trusting a different trainer’s programming and cues. Mike has proved to me that different is really good, and being uncomfortable is necessary for progress.
So come visit, come try it. Come to a class and see why I feel that Chicago fit life is a cut above the rest. Let them be a part of your journey to be a better version of yourself.

Michael Hoffman has created not just a gym. But way for individuals to start or maintain a healthy lifestyle.
They have created a judgement free zone. If you have never set foot in a gym or are seasoned professional. The staff at Chicago Fit Life recognizes the individual needs even during a group work out. Focusing on proper technique and taking into account for individuals injuries/​limitations.
If you’re looking for a gym that will meet your goals, CFL will far exceed them
