Great first time experience at CrossFit MetroEast! Very knowledgeable coaching staff with great instruction. Sam was very personable and welcoming. Highly recommend.

By far the best gym I have ever been a member of! The coaches go above and beyond to help us reach the goals we have discussed during our client success sessions. All of the athletes are helpful and welcoming. It is obvious the owner loves what he does by his interactions with us and the way he is constantly striving to be the best in all areas of coaching, goal setting, nutrition, cleanliness and so much more.They dont disappoint!

It has changed my life for the better. Everyone is so supportive and it’s a great way to get out of the house. It takes your focus off of the stress of everyday life. If your looking to get fit in a healthy way then CrossFit is perfect. Everyone gets to workout together and cheer encourage each other rather than you just being alone in your musky basement.

Great, great, great, gym. the ownership, the coaches, and the staff are top notch and care about the individuals that make up our diverse, tight knit, and unique membership/community. everyone is welcoming and encouraging. if you work hard and challenge your strengths and weaknesses you cant help but be successful!...

I have been a member of this facility since its inception in 2010 and am a witness to the fact that gym truly has the ability and desire to meet your health and fitness needs!Whether you are athletically gifted or not (like myself) or somewhere in between,this is THE place for top-o-the line coaching and programming!Full disclosure,though...this is not a take-the-$$-and-run type of gym.A degree of commitment will be expected from you,and it will be given back to you with interest!Come check it out!...you wont be sorry!

Amazing Coaches!! Dedicated to helping you meet your fitness and nutrition goals. Members are friendly and like family. Been to many gyms, this is the best one by far!

Look no further, you have just found your new gym to call home! The level of professionalism Josh and his staff bring is second to none. The care, concern, and dedication is what sets this gym apart from all others. Here you are family! Rest assured, every workout you will leave CFME better than when you walked in!

Great gym. The facility is nice and clean. Coaches and staff members are caring and they do their best to help everyone to achieve their goals. Community is very welcoming, helpful and encouraging.

CFME was a great gym to drop into!!! Millie, Sam and Josh were not only very welcoming but also checked before the workout started for any mobility or movement issues. Their members are also very helpful and supportive.

After moving to Illinois from Virginia four years ago CFME has become my home away from home. Everyone from coaches to members are so warm and welcoming. I feel truly blessed to have found such an amazing gym!

Great coaches, great workouts, and nutrition recommendations! They train the whole body. The coaches are knowledgeable and experienced and are concerned with your overall well-being.

CrossFit Metro East will provide you with more than just a great workout and support towards your fitness goals. Being apart of this gym has truly given me a second family! People who are there to cheer me on, not only in a workout, but through every aspect of life. I’m a better Wife, Mother, Co-worker, Friend, and family member because of the impact from the people within this facility. Im grateful for the dedicated coaches that lead by example. They follow the same programming and nutrition coaching. They are hands down the most knowledgeable coaches in the area-and are constantly striving to get better! They will meet you where you are and help you reach your goals. Even during a global pandemic they went above and beyond to meet the needs of this amazing community-and provide the best client experience around! I love my gym!!

Having exercised routinely most of my adult life, COVID turned me into a marshmallow. I was going back to the Y but things were just not the same as most group activities were cancelled. I needed something to jumpstart my workouts and get my form back. Crossfit is doing the trick. I will admit that I was a bit intimidated at first and suffered from low confidence. However, every workout routine can be adjusted to fit my limitations and needs. The staff encouraged me and the participants in the classes made me fell welcome. I dont feel as if I competing with anyone but myself. Strongly recommended.

I was looking to get back in shape after taking time off due to COVID. I wanted knowledgeable coaches and well planned out classes. All of the members are very welcoming and make you feel like a champion:) CFME was exactly what I was looking for. It has improved my overall fitness as well as mental health. It is a great gym to be a part of.

A home away from home. People who are always happy to see you and cheer you to your goals. Coaches are amazing and down to earth. They are truly professionals and walk with each athlete at their pace. It’s not a one size fits ALL mentality, but rather how can they guide us to life changing habits. Give it a chance, you won’t regret it!

This gym turned my world around! I couldn’t have found a better place. Coming from a background of a lot of injury’s and only ever running, this gym has given me the confidence in myself along with the knowledge to lift smart, stay active and eat well, all while having a blast with amazing people! The couches are amazing, you will never walk in and think you have the do the workout exactly like it says and think to yourself there is no way, if scaling or modifying is needed they make sure to get you scaled properly for what you need and what your body can handle, I know for me coming into a CrossFit gym I was like there is no way I’ll be able to do those workouts, and I would never go which is why it took me so long to make the plunge into it. Little did I know, you can do them all just in different ways if the one posted isn’t where you are yet, and the growth I have had because of the amazing coaches is just crazy! I never thought I would be where I am today! This gym, the people in it, and the coaches coaching are all so awesome! It’s my favorite place to be! Everyone cares about each person! I never thought that I could finish last in something and still feel on top of the world cause you are cheered on no matter what! Everyone wants you to succeed and everyone has their own pace and no one puts anyone one down or acts better than anyone! I love it here and highly recommend it! It’s an amazing environment!

If Toby Keith joined this gym... he wouldn’t be singing about loving a bar. Unless he was talking about the barbell!Seriously though, this place is great. Fromthe staff and community to the CrossFit open challenges they have!I love this gym.

Honestly words can’t even come close to describe what this gym means to me, how much they have saved me and helped me find my passion and strength again (physically and mentally). This place is not just a gym to me. It’s my safe haven...a place full of love and encouragement and laughs. Never a dull moment in the gym. These people are the best around and I’m so lucky to be apart of this CrossFit family

This is by far the best gym I have ever been a member of. I have joined several chain gyms in the past that advertise all these great things but tend to fall flat on knowledgeable staff and a welcoming atmosphere. This is the only gym that I have been to that wants you to succeed and reach beyond your goals. They push you, but they will modify anything if you are newer or injured to make sure you still get a great workout, but do not injury yourself. And the way they have handled everything during the pandemic is amazing! Super clean, welcoming atmosphere for literally every level. Top notch!

CFME is a great gym & has a great atmosphere! The coaches do an amazing job at meeting you where you’re at & motivating you through the workouts.

This place has become almost like a second family to me! The staff and members were welcoming from day one! They are knowledgeable, friendly, and so helpful- no matter what your goals are, they got you covered!!!! We moved literally right as covid started, and this place kept me sane during the major lockdown and beyond. I’m not able to go as much as I’d like, but I’d recommend this place to anyone!

CFME is full of amazing. Amazing coaches, amazing members and an amazing experience every time I step into the gym. I was hesitant to join a CrossFit gym and was intimidated by what I though CrossFit was. The CFME family was welcoming and put all of my worries at ease. Over the passed two years they have helped me find a healthy lifestyle, stay healthy during a pregnancy and are guiding me down the path regain my strength after pregnancy.The coaching staff are the utmost professional and are always willing to go the extra mile to accommodate all of its members. No matter your current fitness level the family like atmosphere makes you look forward to working out!

I highly recommend checking out this gym. Knowledgeable coaching staff, positive community, and some pretty nice equipment too.

This is a great gym. It has very professional, attentive, and knowledgeable staff. The equipment is always clean and in good shape. The members and staff are like family, there’s no better place to accomplish your goals.

Dropped in years ago for a workout while visiting family and the professionalism and knowledge in one short class is what years later led me to join the Crossfit MetroEast family. Can’t say enough good about the coaching and staff in whole.

This is a great gym with very friendly and understanding coaches. They will help you figure out what level of fitness youre at, and adjust all workouts to it. Crossfit MetroEast has been doing an awesome job in following social distancing and all other COVID procedures. I highly recommend it.

CrossFit Metro East is the best place to workout and to feel like you belong. The staff is professional and super friendly. I feel like this gym is a second home to me and home is where I am affirmed and challenged to be a better person. Great coaches, awesome new equipment, great owner, great community.

Love this gym, great people great coaches, welcoming staff and always ready to help with any needs!

Crossfit Metro East has been an essential part of my health and overall well being for the last 9 months. The staff is friendly, professional, encouraging and motivating! The classes are structured to where everyone of all skill levels can complete them, there’s always a scaling option! The coaches will get you to your goals and I couldn’t imagine being at any other gym! I love my CFME family!!!

Great coaching staff and members!! They made me feel welcome from the first day and each class I attended after. They strive to help you reach your goals no matter what they are. Awesome place!!

Absolutely phenomenal facility to train and dominate your fitness goals! CFME offers the cleanest, most organized gym as well as the best trained coaches who have a wealth of knowledge to personalize movements for you. You’ll leave feeling confident in yourself with the desire to keep coming back!! They also have a kids room which is especially helpful for families with small children and offer online classes so you can train at home if you prefer!

Wonderful community, the members and coaches are welcoming and are genuinely interested in your well being. Programming is varied and effective and adjustable to everyones ability. The coaches are highly trained and take the time to know everyone individually and work with them. I couldnt see myself anywhere else.

I’m new to crossfit and to the area and this place has been so welcoming and encouraging. I am very happy to have joined and would recommend it to anyone!

CFME is like a second home and the members and coaches are like family to me. I have been a member for almost 3 years now and I am so grateful I found this place. Not only have I upped all of my weightlifting numbers and lowered my mile time and my body fat percentage, but I have also made some amazing, lifelong friends. CFME supported me when I experienced a tragic death in the family. The owner (Josh) and his wife (Gina) were at my wedding. This gym and the coaches have also supported me through an injury (helped to modify workouts for me) and my first triathlon (programmed specific endurance training and came to coach/cheer me on.) The owner and coaches care about the whole you: your mental, physical, and emotional health. I could go on and on. But, maybe you should just come find out for yourself!

The CFME team cares about each and every client. They care about your goals, encourage you to take steps to meet them, and help you every step of the way. The members are awesome & I’m so happy I decided to join the CFME Family!

CrossFit MetroEast truly cares about their members. They strive to bring the absolute best to their community. I would highly recommend this gym.

Being over 50, I thought I was too old to do CrossFit but I was totally wrong. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and ensure you have proper technique before adding weight. All workouts can be scaled or modified properly for your fitness level. The community at CFME is so accepting. From the first time I walked in, everyone introduced themselves and made me feel welcome. Everyone wants you to succeed and cheers you on! There is plenty of sweat and laughter at each WOD. I have been here 7 months and so thankful I stepped out of my comfort zone and joined! I would highly recommend CFME!!

The coaching staff are continually striving to train and educate their members about CrossFit, nutrition and general health! Call them for additional details.

As a newbie to the cross-fit world, I have been very impressed with this gym. The owner, Josh, is very welcoming. He has a great working knowledge of fitness and training but in a very friendly and non-intimidating way. The overall atmosphere is fun and low pressure; everyone is encouraged to make progress towards whatever their goal may be. The workouts are fun, varied and the trainers really know how to tailor them to your specific needs and limitations. I would definitely recommend this place!

Coaches are well trained, informative and are cognizant of their clients. Clean and friendly environment. Safety of their clients is at the top of their lists. I have been a personal training client for over 5 years as of June 2020. The best place to start your physical fitness journey.

I’m happy to be a part of this gym and I recommend you try it for yourself!The coaching staff are continually striving to train and educate their members about CrossFit, nutrition and general health. They teach us about “quality over quantity” by making the focus about proper movement rather than how many reputations we can complete. They set a great example of how to move correctly through gymnastics, Olympic weightlifting, metabolic conditioning as well as running and rowing techniques.If you’re looking to try something new, CrossFit Metro East is a great starting point! They’ve impacted my life and our community by helping our members become stronger, healthier and happier versions of ourselves.

I recently went for a body composition analysis at this gym. The equipment used for the analysis was the InBody 270. The service came highly recommended and I was not disappointed. The results confirmed the progress that I had made and gave me a good idea of what I needed to do to accomplish my goals. I will definitely use this service again.

I’ve been going to this gym for 5 years. I’ve never done anything consistent with fitness for 5 years! But this gym stuck for me! Josh, the other coaches and the members have helped my mindset on nutrition and fitness improve and I’m in the best shape of my life. Not to mention I have a wonderful group of life long friends and workout partners!

I truly love this box. All of the trainers have been awesome. I had been at another CrossFit box, and while they were great, I feel like the trainers at Metro-East really work with you to make you a better athlete all the way around and to work towards meeting your personal goals, whether that be getting in shape or getting to the competition level. Every time I go in, I come out proud of myself for doing something I was just sure I couldnt do.

Ive been training with Josh for several years. Hes a true professional and fitness motivator. His focus is helping you be the best you can be! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Welcoming environment. CFME is a great place to be a part of!

FANTASTIC staff and environment - they go the extra mile to make sure you are giving your body the best workout it can manage without over- or under-exherting. The coaches are very knowledgeable and focus on overall wellness rather than becoming a one-trick pony. LOVE this gym!

Only gets 5 stars because Google didnt give me six! Great community, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and clean! Top notch at every level! The programming fits all levels and all ages. Proud to call this place home!

CrossFit MetroEast was more than I ever expected when I decided to try out CrossFit.- Ive never worked out at a gym with such a supportive community who wants you to succeed at YOUR personal goals. Every workout, every time, not only are the coaches working with you but everyone in class is pulling for you to finish. When I first joined, every person made it a point to introduce themselves. Ive noticed the same for each person who has joined after me, whether they just dropped in as a class visitor or they joined. The coaches arent the only ones who build this community. Members also put together social gatherings outside of the gym so that everyone can get to know each other and continue to build friendships.- From the initial consult onward, the coaching staff has kept my personal goals in mind. Each coach makes sure they know how Ive progressed to be able to scale weights/movements for me so that I get to the intent of the workout each time I show up. Weve worked through specific hitches in movements, mobility issues and various stretches that were individualized to areas that I wanted to improve on.- The coaching staff keeps things fresh without forgetting about the basics. While there are a lot of complex movements and lifts that I had never done before in my life, the coaching staff works with you and the class each time to make sure that you are safely and correctly doing each movement even if it has been days or weeks since you did it last.- While I have not done a specific nutrition based coaching session yet, the initial consult phase worked through some basic nutrition education that most people have never known, forgotten about, or never put into practice. The staff have always done an excellent job at keeping nutrition at the forefront of your mind. The purpose being that they not only want you to have a great workout, but also be able to properly fuel yourself for the results you want to attain by having those great work outs.In summary, Im 100% impressed with how this gym operates. The professional staff, the clean and organized work out space, the work out programming and the community are all top notch portions of why Im happy to call this the place I belong to.

This gym has become my home and the members have become my family! The staff are knowledgeable and accommodating. The people are friendly and welcoming. The facility is exceptional. I couldnt imagine fitnessing anywhere else!

I have been going to Crossfit Metroeast for a little over a year. I was a runner who did the same mileage and strength training routine everyday and needed a change. The owner, Josh really cares about each person and since he has an athletic training background - he knows how to modify anything. At Crossfit: You will be challenged, you will make new friends, you will feel defeated some days and then other days you will feel like a rock star! You wont know that you cant, until you try!

Knowledgeable coaching staff, welcoming atmosphere, clean facility. I always get a good workout and have a few laughs. Love this place.

Great facility and even better people! From the very first day at CFME, I have been treated like part of the team. There was never an awkward phase like I have experienced at other gyms. The coaches are very knowledgeable and fun to be around! Would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing CrossFit family!

I had been debating joining Crossfit Metroeast for a few years. Knowing Josh previously from years ago, I knew how passionate, knowledgeable and motivating a guy he was but I just never pulled the trigger and walked through the doors. Finally, I did last year. What I found was MUCH more than I had anticipated. In my opinion, two variables set this gym apart from all others.1) THE COACHES - All coaches are extremely knowledgeable and have YOUR best interests in mind. They push you to be better, keep you accountable for your health while keeping in mind the big picture. I can personally attest to all coaches seeing me through pre-existing injuries and being genuinely concerned with my health, well being and athletic improvement. Each individual coach has found the perfect balance between personally connecting with each member and professional instruction.2) COMMUNITY - Being an older(45 yrs) new member to Crossfit I was unsure how I would be accepted in this new environment. I was so appreciative of how each member took the time to know my name and engage with me in how things were going. The attitude and environment at this gym is contagious. Hearing the cheers of encouragement during a tough WOD satisfies much more than just going to the gym. CFME has become more than a place to workout. It is a place where I talk, laugh, and share in the successes of others.

CrossFit Metro East is where I started my CrossFit journey, and I cannot say enough good things about how amazing this gym is. I was terrified to start CrossFit because I had NEVER done anything remotely close to it. I was bored with my old workout routine of running and using weight machines at the gym. I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. My husband encouraged me to try CrossFit, but I was hesitant because unlike him, I had never done weightlifting or high intensity workouts before. My husband wanted to join, so I went with him to meet Josh and sit down to talk about CrossFit. Josh was very thorough! We talked about nutrition and programming and even about the various injuries we have had so he could know what our limitations might be. We joined immediately and have loved it ever since!! The coaches are absolutely incredible. They are so knowledgeable and they always knew how to scale workouts for me so that I could still get the most out of a workout without sacrificing movements that were challenging for me. They also had my back in making sure that I was doing he movements correctly so that I wouldn’t injure myself. The coaches always remained supportive as well as the rest of the community at the gym. I loved working out in such a supportive environment. I felt welcomed by everyone and appreciated that nobody looked down on me because I couldn’t do everything the way they could. I gained so much strength after only a few months. I was blown away! My confidence grew and my love of CrossFit became a passion. I am the most fit I have ever been and fitness and health are now a top priority of mine. I cannot speak highly enough of this gym. I had to move out of state for work, and I have been to many other CrossFit gyms trying to find a new one and none of them even come close to CFME. If you are looking for great programming, amazing coaches and a supportive fun community, then CFME should be your new home. Check it out. Your decision to do so may just end up changing your life the way that it changed mine.

Coaches are great. Everyone is friendly and encouraging. Programming is well balanced.

Awesome gym, incredible coaches, and an inspiring atmosphere. Everyone at CrossFit MetroEast, from the coaches to the clients, are great people. The coaches are among the most knowledgeable people you can find in regards to health and fitness. Cant say enough great things about this place!

CFME has been everything I expected and more. The coaching staff is incredible--always focusing on proper technique and safety. What I didnt expect was the cross-section of people that attend CFME. The athletes come from every walk of life and span from young kids to the elderly. We are a family that supports one another and no one is left out. I always recommend CFME to friends when they are searching for a box to join.

Very nice staff. Very knowledgeable and take care to protect your safety first.

Started personal training here a few years ago, love to go to CFME. Josh is a great trainer, the other staff are personable and experienced. Everyone is friendly.

Great atmosphere great community and the coaches work with you on whatever you need

I have never been an active workout person just doing the minimum I needed to do to get by; however I decided it was time to become a stronger, more fit me. CrossFit MetroEast is awesome! The coaches are knowledegable, will tailor whatever the workout is to your abilities while pushing you (in a good way) to get better. I was welcomed from day 1 and am enjoying my progress and the friendships made.

The work put into the entire experience from the workouts, the community, coaching, and everything else has been a huge step up in quality. The owner, Josh, and the rest of the staff truly cares about every single person that comes through the door

Excellent coaching! Great vibe!

CFME keeps me sane!
