Amazing gym and great workouts! The staff here is incredibly friendly and extremely qualified! They know how to push you to the limit in the best way possible with your workouts. You will not leave disappointed! There are also quarterly goal setting sessions to keep you motivated and accountable. Byron and Janelle have created a family vibe as soon as you walk in the doors – I highly recommend checking this gym out.

If you’re looking for a new home gym, Bluprint is the place for you. Byron and his team are absolutely great and have a true passion for Fitness. Byron‘s programming is great for anyone at any level and he truly displays passion for fitness and helping you reach your goals. The entire Blucru team is so knowledgeable and truly dedicated to educating and guiding you through your workouts. The atmosphere in the gym always has good vibes and everyone is friendly and inviting. Bluprint is not only fun but a safe place to work out! The gym is always clean and organized and you’ll have your personal space to stay distant you feel comfortable I always look forward to work out at Bluprint. 10/10 highly recommend!!!

Bluprint is the best fitness decision I’ve made in the week 11 years I’ve lived in Chicago. Byron and Janelle have found a way to treat every person at the gym like they are their only client and you always feel so welcomed and comfortable. I’ve never been intimidated by any of the movements or like I didn’t fit in. On days I don’t make it I feel like I’m missing out. Anyone looking for new friends and a great fitness community should sign up 10 min ago yesterday!

Great gym with great coaches! The programming focuses on building strength and conditioning with consistent and progressive overload, and they are so good about finding adjustments for every level of athlete. Also great for injury prevention with accessory work, mobility, and focusing on good form. Not a lot of flexibility with class times and open gym, but it is in the middle of a pandemic and they are super safe. Expensive but worth it if youre trying to build a healthy lifestyle in a sustainable way.

I’ve been working out at Bluprint for a little over 6 months now, and I could not have found a better fitness/wellness community in the area. The staff, athletes and programming are exceptional. From the moment you walk into your first workout you feel accepted and welcomed. All aspects of the workout can be scaled to challenge you wherever your fitness level is, and the coaches are there to guide you along the way.This gym is accepting for the LGBTQIA+ community, and that was a big part that brought me to this gym and has made me feel at home. The gym also takes COVID-19 precautions seriously and protects the health of its athletes by ensure it policies are followed and everything is sanitized regularly.I’ve enjoyed challenging myself to be stronger and make my health a priority this year. I highly recommend anyone in the area give this gym a try.

Joined in the middle of the pandemic when my previous box closed - Bluprint Fitness had been recommended to me previously by a friend.Focused and professional intake process (a short phone interview, goal setting, and a coach to provide advice and guidance for the first 6 weeks).Superior cleanliness and protocols in place to ensure safety.All of the coaches are fantastic - each brings a different approach (some gymnastic, some Olympic weightlifting) but all of them are enthusiastic and encouraging - all of them want you to succeed.The membership is from all ages and walks of life - everyone of all shapes/sizes is welcome - you feel welcome and a part of the team from Day 1.In my experience some boxes are testosterone charged, weight-dropping, heavy-metal blasting temples of the PR. Not here.Bluprint is welcoming, comfortable, and encouraging - you will PR here, no doubt about it - but the road is paved with a more whole-body approach, with great time and focus given to dynamic stretching, proper technique, and resources to set goals and improve your nutrition.Due to COVID the programming has been modified to ensure health and safety - so my experience has been limited to this - but I couldnt give a higher recommendation to Bluprint - this will be my box for good.

Bluprint is hands-down my favorite gym in the city. I’ve held memberships at two box gyms and am a previous ClassPasser here in Chicago – so I’ve been around…but I have never felt as welcome or motivated as I do at BluPrint.The community is very positive, supportive, and non-judgmental. The variety and intensity of workouts are perfect, and I am never bored or burnt out. They can also easily be scaled down, which I appreciate as a CrossFit newbie.The owners, Byron and Janelle, are honest, caring people who want you to succeed. I highly encourage everyone to check out BluPrint. You won’t be disappointed.

BPF coaches know their stuff down the line on the lifts & movement technique. I like the detail-oriented instruction & personal attention in every class, which always seem to pinpoint a refinement in technique to help with consistent gradual gains. Great vibe, good tunes, fun camaraderie at BPF makes it easy to show up every day to get in a good lift & WOD.

Blueprint Fitness is an exceptional gym with outstanding coaches and programming. When I first joined, I had chronic hip pain. Coach Janelle worked with me 1-1 on exercises to help with my mobility and strength. I can now say that I have never felt healthier in my life and with no pain. Blueprint’s programming helped me create a healthier lifestyle for myself. I learned that I didn’t need to spend hours in the gym each day to see results. I highly recommend Blueprint. No matter the skill level you are at, you will be supported past your expectations!

I joined BluPrint in April of this year. At first, I was very nervous to join a Crossfit gym. I had belonged to a Crossfit gym many years ago and had previously loved it, but given how out of shape I felt, I was worried I wasnt going to be able to keep up in class. From day one, the coaches and other athletes made me feel welcome and I could tell immediately that this gym was a judgement free zone. There are athletes of all shapes/sizes and varying abilities and this made me feel very comfortable. However, the one thing that I think is very different about Bluprint is that I feel the coaches genuinely care about my goals and helping me to achieve them. I think that because of this relationship, I want to not only make myself proud but the coaches proud as well.It has been a little over 6 months since I joined Bluprint and the gains I have made have made me so much happier; both mentally and physically. Bluprint has given me support in the gym but also support in changing my lifestyle/daily habits to continue to strive towards my goals. I have learned that I will have good days and bad days, but ultimately it is all about balance. I am excited to continue to crush workouts and make gains with my Bluprint team supporting me every step of the way.

Great gym! I have been a member for a year, and it has been a great experience. Super clean, nice staff, and everything you need in a gym.

Joining Bluprint was the best decision Ive made in the last two months since I moved to Chicago. Im currently one month into my 6 week initiation program and I honestly cannot say enough about this place. Its become my sanctuary while trying to live life through the pandemic.The coaches and community are so welcoming. You get a Hello darling! from Coach Janelle the moment you walk through the door, closely followed by Bacon, trusty pup/gate keeper wagging his tail at you.The single most important thing here is safety: technique and mobility. I was told that on my very first day, and Ive lived it every day since. The class sizes make it so everyone has a chance to be observed and guided. The coaches really are here for YOU.Im so glad I found Bluprint. The 45 minute bus commute (Each way!) will forever be worth it.

There are only two reasons I am happy to get up at 5am: for vacation travel or to make my 6am class at Bluprint. I joined this gym in September of 2020- in the middle of a pandemic and major life changes. Being a part of this community has changed me - I am the strongest physically, mentally and spiritually I have ever been. I credit the amazing coaching and athletes for creating a supportive, inclusive environment with just the healthiest amount of competitiveness. Coaches Byron, Janelle, Selby, Lindsay, and Hillary all bring different skills and gifts but each one is special. The program is well designed to ensure whole body metcons and strength training. Becoming a part of the Blu Cru is one of the best decisions I could have made.

Great Coaches, strong community who hold each other accountable👌🏻💪💪

The coaches at Bluprint Fitness were invested in my success from day one. The holistic approach they take allowed me to look into various aspects of my life that were stopping me from reaching my goals. If you are looking for a gym that will hold you accountable while allowing you to have fun and reach your goals, Bluprint is the place for you!

Im fairly new to Bluprint, but I really like the sense of community, challenging workouts, and accountability that Bluprint provides. Hard work doesnt stop when you walk out those doors :-)**edit 3 months later3 months in and Im still motivated by my coaches, fellow athletes, and the lifestyle changes that Bluprint puts in place for their athletes. You can tell that the coaches are really proud of the success of each of their individual members. Its really inspiring to be apart of an amazing community. You will absolutely NOT regret joining!

So grateful I came across Bluprint and had that intro call with Byron. Everyday I feel more confident and stronger - the coaching is top notch and the community is so supportive and just fun to be around - i actually look forward to going to the gym! The approach is holistic and has allowed me to look at my health beyond the work I put in at the gym. Looking forward to my continued journey and excited some of my friends have already come to join me!

I drive past five other boxes closer to my home to attend here because this place delivers:1 - it is sparkling clean &  there is a community approach to staying healthy.  The coaches & community enforce mask wearing above the nose & cleaning protocols are enforced.2 - Focus on form and mobility.  As an older athlete I appreciate that form training and mobility time is set aside in *every* workout.  Keeps me injury free and moving forward.

Great community of athletes. I love that this is a place where you can feel challenged and accepted regardless of your age, body type, or skill level. Coaches meet you where you are at and help you set and achieve solid goals, all while maintaining a great atmosphere where you WANT to be. I look forward to classes, have fun, and feel that push to achieve my fitness goals through healthy habits. I was joking tonight that the best part of my day was the coach arguing with Siri to get the apple speaker to play the right song. Someone said The best part of my day is usually what happens here. I feel that!

I was super inconsistent and struggled during all the Covid madness but in September I decided to start really tackling this whole fitness thing. I have lost some body fat and gained some lean mass but what’s cooler is that during this time I created good healthy habits such as eating enough food, drinking 64 oz of water a day, and sleeping 8 hours. They helped me tackle fitness in a healthy way and never fail to offer encouragement and help when needed

This community is more than a gym! Coaches become friends that encourage you towards breakthroughs and positive life changes. Ive visited a few other crossfit style gyms, and BP has a truly unique training methodology that makes it really easy to focus on goals and trust you are building your fitness right. Ive experienced other gyms that let you roam free during classes, without much direction or education. Here, the coaches actually train you and are attentive to what you are doing. During the pandemic, theyve done an amazing job of giving support, and created a safe place both physically and virtually to stay healthy, motivated and fit!

Excellent programming, community, and most importantly, coaching. Byron, Janelle, and team are wonderful people who truly care about helping you achieve your fitness goals no matter your skill level. I love coming here because every class is different, challenging, and rewarding.Ive been going here for 6 months and Im shocked at how much progress Ive made in a short amount of time. Highly recommended!

I just finished my 6-week intro to Bluprint yesterday, and I couldn’t be happier with the people, coaches, or programming. There’s a reason they have 100+ 5-star reviews. If you’re considering starting a new routine for the first time in a long time, there’s no better time than the present to join this awesome community. They worked with my past injuries and frustrations and turned them into goals and improvements. Most importantly, they’ll hold you accountable. This gym is full of athletes of different sizes, shapes, and skill levels, and the coaches know everyone by name. Bluprint focuses on what you can do and doing it right.

Ive been to several Crossfit gyms and this is by far my favorite one. The coaches are dedicated to creating a friendly, safe, and motivating environment. Theyve been great about communicating how they will bring top notch workouts to us throughout quarantine through zoom classes, remote workouts, and now socially distanced in-person workouts. I was nervous to come back to the gym once it reopened from quarantine but theyve been meticulous about keeping the gym clean, making sure people wear their masks, and keeping us safely distanced from one another all while maintaining the integrity of the workouts. The workouts themselves are varied and challenging and I can feel myself improving everyday. The coaches are awesome and make a real effort to get to know everyone.

Welcoming, consistency and accessibility are all words that are vital in a gym, an environment where people come for many different reasons. Whether its health, personal growth, a new hobby etc, Byron, Janelle and all the other coaches go out of their way to welcome you into their home. I have seen my fitness improve, my mental health go up and overall athleticism in my sport improve. Bluprint is a family now and during these times has been a star example of how much they care about their athletes. The bottom line has been our safety, whether its checking good form, giving nutritional advice, or knocking down a wall to give us more space for a safer Covid free environment. If your looking for somewhere to meet an amazing group of people, coaches and family, bluprint is your spot.

Staff are helpful and mindful of any training needs you may have. Has everything you need to get the work done. Great facility with even greater people.

This is the best gym Ive ever belonged to. The owners/coaches are fantastic — they are fitness and nutrition experts who are incredibly friendly, professional and who really care about the health and wellness of their members. Plus, they practice what they preach, serving to inspire everyone around them. The programming is excellent, the community is amazing and the music is always on point. They go the extra mile in everything — from gym events to keeping everything super clean. Last but not least, I worked out here throughout my pregnancy and not only did I stay healthy and strong, but I knew that the coaches were constantly looking out for the safety of me and my baby.

Amazing programming, equipment, and expertise. The owners are professional and have a very clear and transparent plan for their gym and its future. Their response to COVID was strategic and responsible!Trainers are fun, welcoming and knowledgeable. Ive been a member at BluPrint for almost a year. I love this place - cannot recommend enough!

I am extremely grateful for the bluprint community and the way my body has responded to challenge. Take me back 5-6 months from now and I never would have thought Id be able to squat or deadlift as much as I do now or even get a bar with weight over my head. I really have to give thanks to the blucrew (coaches and community) for the constant support and feedback. I really enjoy working out out with them, especially my 6am crew! They have really helped me change my relationship with the gym and my relationship with my body. So thank you! If youre questioning if you should join, or feeling anxious about the leap, dont! Just do it! Its been an absolute blast and the community here is amazing!

Joined when I moved to Chicago for CrossFit but also for the social aspect, and have met some of my best friends here! Even during COVID, have continued to meet new people.

I love this place. Bluprint is a great box with a welcoming community. I am totally supported in my health goals.

Bluprint Fitness is more than a gym. Its a community of coaches and athletes who care for and support one another. The coaches know everyone by name and offer targeted training assistance for all fitness levels, and I really to mean all. Ive been at Bluprint for nearly 3 years, and when I first joined I couldnt do a proper push up. With expert programming and a FUN, welcoming environment that makes me truly want to go to the gym, Im now grinding out chest-to-floor pushups and working on other skills I never knew I could do, like pistols and toes to bar. When you come to Bluprint, youll instantly know that you are in good hands, and youll be on your way to a healthy, fit lifestyle thats sustainable and enjoyable!

I cant say enough good things about this gym! The coaches are top-notch. They take the time to work with each individual athlete to ensure that everyone is reaching their potential while upholding movement and safety standards. Bluprint is for athletes of all different skill levels. If you walk through the door you are automatically family. :)The programming is excellent and the community is second to none. I would highly recommend stopping in and chatting with Janelle and Byron!

I have been at Bluprint for a few months now and I cannot say enough good things about it! I have always struggled with staying consistent, but I actually look forward to my workouts now (even at 6am!). The coaches are all so knowledgeable and have built such a sense of community. I was honestly a little intimidated at the thought of starting CrossFit, but they have created a program that focuses on the fundamentals first, guides you through everything you need to know and every workout can be scaled as needed. Bluprint is hands down the best gym I have ever been a part of and is would recommend to anyone!

The most inspiring group on the west side. Accountable, loyal, inclusive, team centered. Plus Bacon. Thank you for changing my life BPF!

BluPrint has the best Crossfit programming I have ever seen. They are efficient within the hour including an exercise specific warm-up, workout (WOD), a cool-down and mobility as well. The volume is hard but never to the point where you cant walk or feel like you cant workout the week after. If you commit to the program and fully take advantage of everything BluPrint has to offer, you will 100% see results and more importantly live a happier healthier life!

Great location. Well worth it!

Truly genuine and kind group of people with great practices in place both for fitness and your safety. Highly recommend if you are looking for a diverse community of fitness minded folx!

Absolutely love being a part of this community! Besides being able to work towards my health and fitness goals, the team there is just so much fun to be around, which makes it all the more worthwhile. Classes are challenging, and scheduling a workout is easy. Even better - there are friendly dogs there! Highly recommended!

I moved to Chicago from Texas and have been a part of Bluprint for over a year. Out of all the crossfit/workout facilities I have been a part of, Blueprint takes the cake. They have built an amazing culture that sets it apart from most if not all gyms you will find. The coaches are knowledgeable, inspiring, motivating and funny. The programming is well thought out and easily scaled up or down with provided options. The sense of community and diversity is naturally positive and seen within all of the members.

Bluprint is a phenomenal gym for all levels of fitness. Bluprint helped me lose 27 lbs. before my wedding while still gaining strength and muscle mass. Byron and Janelle are the best and so are the rest of the trainers. They didnt baby me, and they didnt shame me either. They gave me the personal instruction and feedback that allowed me to be successful. On top of the physical results the GYM was fun; full of great people with a competitive but even more so supportive environment. The classes are well put together and I always left knowing I got an amazing workout. (Before and after June 2018 to Sept 2018)

Before Bluprint, I struggled to stay motivated and keep a consistent routine at the gym—fast forward four years, and fitness is now a huge part of the person I’ve become. Bluprint is focused on creating an inclusive, cohesive community and the programming prioritizes overall health and movement standards. Because of Bluprint, I look forward to grocery shopping, meal prepping, and planning my workouts each week. I’ve also made a ton of incredible friends AND met my now fiancé here. What more could I really ask for?

After 4 years, Im still just as committed as the day I started. Bluprint has made it easy to want to come in every day and better myself. One of the hardest parts of my week is deciding what day I want to take off. Theyve also taken a great approach on nutrition by emphasizing healthy habits rather than setting unsustainable goals. Plus they practice what they preach. And if the programming or nutrition support doesnt get you in the door, than the friends you could make should! The community is absolutely amazing :)

The coaches are not only true professionals, but they understand each members skill level and are able to cater to every individual in class. I enjoy going to class and feel like Im missing out when I dont make it. I couldnt imagine going back to a conventional gym. Best gym there is. LETS GO!!

Love this place! I joined about 1 1/2 years ago. I walked in with no experience with Crossfit and was intimidated at first. The on-boarding class was a great intro, the coaches taught me about form and techniques with skill, knowledge, patience and even a little laughter. Ive gained confidence. I love getting stronger. Every class is different. I enjoy it. Its a great atmosphere that is effective, challenging, encouraging and fun!

I want to take time to give The coaches, the athletes and all that comes and to go the facility high praises. As I approach my one year anniversary I can honestly say that Blueprint has been good as advertised. Great group of people, very encouraging and motivating since day one. No matter your fitness level, everyones coached and pushed to become better. Its not just a gym but a true fitness community that takes you in from day one. Looking forward two year two and how I can become better. Thanks guys.

I started at Bluprint about two months ago, and would highly recommend it. The on-ramp program strikes the right balance with respect to difficulty. Structures are in place to ensure accountability. The workouts are well designed and comprehensive, and they also leave space to tailor movements, as needed. The coaches are excellent and the community is welcoming.

I have loved my experience here. I appreciate how Byron and the team make a conscious effort to say hi to everyone by name each time you enter the gym. That is a small thing but definitely makes you feel welcome and a part of the community. All of the coaches are fantastic and each work out is varied. I have tried working out at various crossfit gyms in the city but this is the first one I feel like actually makes you feel welcome. Definitely give it a try if you are thinking about joining a new gym!

Byron and Janelle have this place down to a science. The community they created is unlike anything else and their detail to the fundamentals is exceptional. Ive been to a few CF gyms in the area, and this is hands down the best one!

Bluprint has the most well thought out programming and cycles of any CrossFit gym I’ve ever seen. You will get stronger. The workouts are well written and executed by amazing coaches. And they’re nice and friendly! It’s not every day you find incredible CF programming alongside positive and encouraging community, but Bluprint has figured it out!

Ive been working out here for almost three years and besides getting fitter and stronger from working with incredibly knowledgeable coaches, the culture here is second to none. It is rare that you will find a gym that serves the wide range of skill and fitness levels that Bluprint does where everyone feels supported, encouraged, and great about their performance. The competitiveness that thrives here is healthy, pushing everyone to do the best that they can without making them feel bad about being at a different level (better or worse) than someone else. Best in the game!

I didnt grow up playing sports and was inexperienced in weight training, so I was apprehensive about joining a CrossFit gym. I am so glad that I found Bluprint! The trainers are committed to teaching proper technique and truly set their athletes up for success. The gym culture is also very welcoming and supportive- you can expect to be greeted by your name and encouraged by fellow members. If you are on the fence about joining, I would suggest setting up a consultation with one of the trainers so that you can get a sense of the space for yourself!

Reached out to Bluprint as a drop in from out of town; Byron responded within 24 hours and was very welcoming, supportive, and flexible given our travel schedule. Love the industrial chic aesthetic of the gym, nice competition plates and weightlifting bars. When we showed up for the weekend, his athletes/members + other coaching staff were inviting and helpful as well. Would recommend this gym without hesitation for any out of town drop in. Pro-tip: Breakfast House is about 2 blocks away for post-WOD eats. Chicken & waffles for me.

The experience at Bluprint is unlike any other gyms I’ve tried. The coaches create such a supportive, inclusive environment and the programming is well planned. I always look forward to coming and know I’m going to get a great workout. Don’t sleep on Bluprint 💪🏼☺️👏🏼

I can say with 100% certainty that Bluprint Fitness is the best boutique fitness facility in the city. The owners (Byron & Janelle) are what make Bluprint a spectacular environment where you will actually enjoy doing all the fitness. Byron and Janelle genuinely care about the physical and mental well-being of each and every athlete/member. The entire coaching staff at Bluprint is truly invested in seeing every athlete achieve their individual health/fitness goals. Bluprint creates a dynamic and scalable fitness environment that will actually get results and keep you coming back for more!

Entering any new environment let alone a gym can be a very intimidating experience for some people. While this may be true for most places Bluprint is an exception. Byron along with all of the coaches (including bacon) create a space where you feel welcome and you belong from the minute you first walk through the door. I strongly recommend Bluprint to anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals. You wont regret it.

I started Bluprint CrossFit 7 weeks ago and I cannot recommended it enough. As someone who isnt an athletic person it was the best decision I couldve ever done. The coaches at Bluprint help you understand the movement and can suggest modifications if they see you struggling. I joined the 6 week introduction program and absolutely loved it. I learned a lot of the basic movements in the training camps and slowly made my way to a normal CrossFit class. Im obviously still very new and the classes are challenging, but I look forward to further develop my skills and become a better athlete all while making new friends.

If you are looking for a workout family to join, come be a part of the BluCru family! My journey began with a quick search for gyms near where I worked. I reached out to a few different locations and Byron, the owner and lead Coach at BluPrint Fitness, was one of the first to reach out. He was great at inquiring what I was looking for in a gym community and what my health goals were to see where the BluPrint family can help me get to my goals.My first trip to the Bluprint home was a little overwhelming. I had little to no experience with gym equipment. Byron welcomed me in and introduced me to the amazing Coaches! Be warned, there is accountability! I had to cancel classes due to grad school and I started getting text messages from Coach Selby. The Coaches care that you stay focused towards meeting your health goals.The class schedule is flexible to anyones hectic work and personal schedule. Once you are ready, you get to graduate into the more advanced classes.BluPrint Fitness has been able to make modifications due to the COVID-19 pandemic ensuring each member is able to continue their health journey within their comfort level. They follow the science and the health experts making sure members are safe. For those like myself that still preferred a remote workout experience BluPrint provided online courses that I was able to access after my evening grad school courses had concluded.If you are looking for a positive environment that will help you become a better healthier version of who you want to be, come join the BluCru! Come be a new member of Janelles Buddies! :-)

This place is great! Coaches are extremely helpful, supportive and very knowledgeable. They really want to see you succeed. It also is a very welcoming environment as there is a real sense of community and support among everyone who joins. Would def recommend

Byron, Janelle, Selby, and the entire team at Bluprint have created a gym where people of every fitness level can excel and built a community that challenges and inspires you every day. If you just show up, trust the process, and do the work you will succeed and have a blast doing it. Constantly varying classes mean youll never get bored, and the coaches do a great job of keeping you safe with clean form while also pushing you to test yourself and exceed what you thought you were capable of.

This is one of the most fun gyms Ive been too. The prescribed workouts are fantastic and all the coaches are really enthusiastic. If you want to be in a gym thats more of a community than the typical box gym this is it! :)

Truly a gem of a gym in Chicago.Ive been crossfitting for over 5 years now. Over the course of these 5 years, Ive dropped in for workouts at gyms all over the US, have done week passes and two week passes and punch cards at various boxes, and I can say without a doubt that NONE come close to achieving the community atmosphere, coaching expertise, and programming balance that youll find at Bluprint.The coaches are knowledgeable and excited to work with athletes of ALL levels. Perhaps even more importantly, they place a premium on community. Everything at this gym is done with purpose and with an eye towards creating a cohesive, inclusive, community.Unlike the other crossfit gyms in Chicago that Ive been to, the programming at Bluprint is geared towards health and longevity rather than elite performance. I can go to class every day and get a great workout without feeling beat up all the time. If I ever want more intense programming, there are lots of open gym times to choose from, and lots of members who are excited to come in and do additional workouts.I cant say enough good things about this gym and the ways that it has changed my life for the better. Its a great spot for everyone!!

Ive been coming here for years and still look forward to every class (dont even talk to me if I have to miss one due to work). The coaches care deeply about proper form, mechanics and building strength in a healthy, no-ego way. Its a great community of people— in addition to the fitness classes, the owners host outings, potlucks and competitive events that bring people together. Come here if you want to get strong in multiple ways!

I’ve been at BluPrint for a few months now and I honestly can’t say enough great things! I’ve been an athlete my whole life, but I feel like I’m continuously learning and achieving new goals. The coaches have been so helpful and they make you feel welcomed the second you walk in the door. I am super thankful I happened to come across BluPrint and would highly recommend to anyone!!!

I did a combination of PT with Selby and classes and couldnt have had a better introduction into weight lifting, CrossFit and learning to enjoy working out again! Selby and all the coaches were attentive to my concerns and goals. I only wish I had found this place before I moved away!

I have nothing but good things to say about this facility and the trainers/coaches here. I trained with Selby for several months – by far the best personal training experience Ive had to date. Its a motivating atmosphere with a tight-knit and welcoming community. I definitely recommend this gym and its trainers to anyone at any experience level.

The classes here are great, with options for all levels of fitness. Super supportive coaches and community, and a fun place to be. Also, dogs!

One of, if not the best Crossfit gyms. This gym exemplifies what a crossfit community really is and should be the standard for every gym. Coaches take the time to formulate a relationship with every athlete, while having their health as priority. BluPrint’s programming is top notch. It totally considers the health of the body with well thought out WODs, rather than the CrossFit stereotype of throwing volume and intimidating workouts for the normal CrossFit athlete. I would recommend this gym to any and every person!!!

I have been going to Bluprint for about a year and I won’t do anything else! The environment is kind, respectful and supportive. I have seen results, physically as well as mentally! And I highly recommend it to anyone who asks!!

Its not often I am impressed enough with something to go out of my way and review online - but Bluprint is just that awesome. Within my first month all of the coaches (Byron, Janelle, Selby, Hilary & Vince) knew me by name and always welcome me with a smile.As someone who has been active for a long time but not experienced with a lot of the more technical lifts and terminology of CrossFit, I really benefited from the structure of their 3 month on ramp program. Now that Ive completed the on-ramp, Im excited to see what new goals Im going to crush in 2019.If youre at all curious about CrossFit or any of the other programming they offer at Bluprint - dont be shy. Book a meeting with Byron or Janelle to find out more and jump in.

It’s easy to become dedicated and motivated at Bluprint. The workouts offer new moves and challenges every day and the coaches are there to help at all times. I learn something new every class. It’s been great being part of the wonderful group of athletes at this gym.

Ive been both an instructor and a member of many fitness centers across the country, and BluPrint is one of the few places that Id recommend without hesitation. A genuine devotion to fitness and the wellness of their members is at the root of everything they do. There arent any gimmicks or hassles with memberships or the programming. Just good folks doing good things. Literally all ages, backgrounds, and fitness levels can be found working side by side here. Even as an employee of other gyms where I get a free membership, I still buy a membership here because of the value that the facility, coaches, and community offer.

I’ve been fortunate to be in the CrossFit community for several years and had the benefit of some great gyms during that time — and BluPrint is #1 in my experience. The coaches are dedicated to your success and safety. The programming is challenging while accessible to every fitness level. And the gym is clean, well organized, and well equipped. But the piece that levels this place up above the rest is the welcoming, inclusive, and just downright family atmosphere the owners, coaches, and members have cultivated. It is next to none and the reason I continue to come back. Whether you’re looking for a new gym to call home or just need to drop in, BluPrint is the place to go.

Easily the best gym I’ve ever been a part of!!! Day in and day the best workouts I’ve ever put in! The coaches and other members are pretty awesome as well.... the energy in this place is always super positive!!!

They are super dope here. Very friendly and easy to sign up. Great location as well!

I have been going to BluPrint for a year and a half now and love it! Yes, I *love* working out now. I like it so much, I even go on the weekends now.The coaches and other athletes at Bluprint are very positive and encouraging. Byron and Janelle have built a great community at this gym. Having coaches that are enthusiastic makes a difference. After a day at work, going to the gym helps me not only physically, but mentally too.First and foremost, is a focus on form. This is so important. Ive worked with a lot of trainers over the years and it took a while to find ones who know proper form to both increase power and avoid injury. The slightest changes to a position make a huge difference. Before each workout, the coaches go through the form for every movement, further reinforcing it.Coach Byron creates workouts that are mixed and never get boring. All workouts have variations in case you havent yet mastered a skill. It is a non-intimidating environment, with athletes at all different levels. I cannot stress the last part enough. If youve never done Cross-fit, this is the place to go to learn and have fun doing it!Bonus: the gym is also clean and organized. Its nice to always find weights in the right place!

This gym is more than a gym. Its a community full of supportive and driven individuals at every fitness level and the coaches are actively invested in your success. As someone that was in pretty bad shape, I was super intimidated to try crossfit in general, but I was welcomed and supported from day 1. Bluprint has been a catalyst for me to live a healthier, more active lifestyle and focus on strength and wellness over weight and size.

I came here from out of town, on a Friday morning, for a drop in and the facilities are well equipped and clean. The coaching is spot on and they have a great community of people. If I’d live in Chicago this would be my box

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Well maintained equipment. Super clean space. Approachable for any fitness level. I really appreciate Bluprints results driven approach. Love this gym!

A welcoming and fun gym that takes your individual needs and health seriously. This is the kind of cross fit I can get behind as a strong focus on introduction to proper form is reinforced with an on-ramp class. I came in recovering from a lower back injury and every trainer was proactive about adjusting exercises.

Having never worked out a day in my life, blueprint made me feel welcomed out of the gate. The staff is always laughing and dancing around to music making you feel that even though working out is tough, it doesn’t have to be a negative experience. Even if I had a bad day, walking into BP and seeing smiling faces and feeling the vibe, all that previous negativity would be gone! Go check it! Be ready to laugh as well as sweat.

Best gym in Chicago. If you are looking to get into shape with an amazing community, this is your gym. The coaches care deeply about your journey into a healthy lifestyle. If you are new to crossfit or new to working out in general, everyone makes you feel comfortable and wants you to succeed in your goals!

Being new to Crossfit and not having the best luck with big box gyms in the past, I was apprehensive when I reached out to Bluprint about becoming a member. After meeting Janelle, Byron and Selby during my first visit and fitness consultation, however, I new Bluprint was the right fit for me. Now, I have been consistently going to the gym 2-3x a week for over a year and couldnt be happier with my fitness results. The combination of Bluprint coachs expertise, care, teaching and guidance have kept me coming back, week after week. All the coaches are wonderful and hold me accountable to my fitness and nutrition goals, which has also proved wildly successful for me. Thanks Bluprint!

A co-worker had started going to Bluprint and couldnt stop raving about the experience she was having, which is how I first became familiar with it. In the span of 3 months I had sprained my lower back about three times working out on my own and knew that I had to try something different. I had always wanted to try CrossFit but was too intimidated -- very much this idea of let me get really fit first, and THEN Ill start going to Crossfit! But, being recently injured and looking for something different, I thought why not and decided to see what Bluprint was all about.You start with the six-week onboarding program, which was really great -- definitely needed considering I was new to the space. But what really sealed the deal for me was when I went to class after a particularly nasty back tweak and Coach Janelle had made me my own WOD -- one that would allow me to go easy on my back and also participate with everyone else. I am pretty confident that the level of care I got during that class and the ongoing support I received from the rest of the coaches in the following weeks would have been rare at any other CrossFit gym.Cut to two months later, I think I might be obsessed. Shocker! These folks care about your goals, want you to do your best, and want to help you every step of the way. The coaches have really built a great community of athletes and Im stoked to be part of it all. GO TO BLUPRINT. YOU WONT REGRET IT EVER.

BluPrint is the best kind of CrossFit gym—one where knowledgeable and attentive coaches work alongside a community of athletes who champion everyone else in their midst. Classes are small enough that coaches can give targeted feedback to every individual, which makes it possible for all of us to safely work toward and achieve our strength, cardio and gymnastics goals. Programming is done in a way that challenges members to explore all CF skills (pushing us outside those comfort zones!), and six-week cycles give them a chance to test those skills and adjust their goals according to what interests them the most. That BluPrint is able to facilitate healthy competition AND supportive community in the same space is no doubt the reason why their members (myself included) are constantly setting and smashing new goals and adopting a true lifestyle of fitness rather than a mere gym habit.

This week marked my 6-month anniversary at Bluprint, and it made me realize that a review was more than warranted. I have been doing Crossfit for quite a few years and in January I found myself suddenly having to find a new gym as the one I was going to unfortunately had to close. I tried 3 different ones in the area before stopping by Bluprint, and none of them were bad but they also didnt feel like home. And, for those who have done Crossfit before, you know how the community is probably the biggest thing in the gym. As soon as arrived there I knew they had done a tremendous job developing that community. All coaches know everyone by name, athletes are actually interacting with each other instead of making small talk, everyone helps each other push through the workout, and you really got to meet people from the get go. Also, no one is allowed to start putting away their equipment until everyone is done - which is a big pet-peeve of mine from other gyms. Another plus is also how they are totally transparent and clear with the training program and what they expect from the athletes. Every Saturday we get an email with the program for the upcoming week and which cycle we are on at that time. I personally love to know that there is a very detailed thought-process behind the programming. I cant recommend Bluprint enough... seriously, just sign-up for a trial if you dont believe me. Oh, and you got to meet coach Bacon as well!!!

When I started bluprint I was stuck in a cycle of binge eating then eating nothing, working out like crazy, and seeing no results at all. The coaching (and patience) provided by Byron, Janelle, Selby and Bacon helped me discover a way to have fun while working out, eat more, build muscle, lose fat, and make friends. I could never go anywhere else

I’ve been a member for 2 years, which is something I never thought I’d say about a gym, especially about a CrossFit gym. I was a cardio queen before joining, rarely ever picking up weights.I decided to give it a shot - i was about to get married and really wanted to kick it into high gear. I met with the coaches about my goals and they made me feel excited and confident. I was afraid of weights and had no idea how to lift them properly, so I was really excited to learn they had a very thorough onboarding program. I learned so much in those first few weeks and the years after. The coaches genuinely care about their athletes. You can tell they absolutely love what they do. That feeling is contagious. It makes me work harder. And I saw it inspire those around me too. The community of the gym is warm and welcoming. Everyone helps each other. It doesn’t feel like a bunch of intense people trying to outdo each other. It’s people intensely trying to reach their own goals.I love having a new WOD (workout of the day) to challenge me and keep me on my toes. You can’t possibly get bored at BluPrint.Their class schedule was very conducive to my 9-5 job. I was always able to get in the class I wanted.TL;DR - wimpy girl got over fear of weights and finally got strong with help of amazing coaches and a relaxing and welcoming community. No beefcakes.

Ive always been a solo lifter, and stayed away from group fitness classes, but Id always remained in good shape. But I started at Bluprint a year ago, and its honestly been the best gym experience Ive had in my life. The coaches take a personal interest in helping you reach your fitness goals and and encourage continued growth. Ive broken through countless plateaus that I can honestly say I wouldnt have reached without the coaches. The programming is awesome, challenging and varied. The atmosphere of the gym (also mind you this is from a person who prefers to lift solo) is amazing. Dozens of athletes who come in with a positive attitude and help push and encourage you to be the best you. The facility itself is always clean and well organized, and they invest in new equipment several times a year. I would give bluprint 6 out of 5 stars if google would allow. Highly recommended.

Its been 2 years and I can truly say that I have found my community! Excellent, supportive staff and a group of amazing members that cheer me on when Im the last one to finish! I am stronger and in better health than I have ever been and I have created a new habit of working out 5 days a week (and I like it)!

Incredible facility, incredible staff. To top it off, Bluprint Fitness has the best variety of membership options that I’ve seen from any gym in Chicago. There’s a fit for anyone.

Bluprint fitness is an amazing and inclusive community. I get excited to go to every class and the facilities are kept in fantastic condition.Even if crossfit isnt your thing, Bluprint creates a space where you can create a positive relationship with fitness and health overall!

Love the friendly welcoming atmosphere, the exceptionally clean facilities, the way the owners bend over backwards to help you, and the ease of parking!! Lots of classes offered. My favorites are the coached rowing workouts. Highly recommended👍🏻

I have been working out at Blurprint for over 4 years, since the beginning. Byron and Janelle created an amazing culture and I have nothing but good things to say. The programming, coaches, and equipment are top notch. When I first started, I spent several months at different gyms and Bluprint is the best.

I have been a member of BluPrint for a little more than 4 months and I have drank the Cross-Fit Kool-Aid. My favorite part (other than the coaches/people) about BluPrint is the team mentality that the classes create. The workouts are hard but doing them with a team makes them 100% better. You are all suffering during the workout and having a team around you makes you work harder to complete the workout. As a retired collegiate athlete, I had struggled finding a gym that would create the same atmosphere as working out with your team. This would leave me feeling unsatisfied leaving any other gym. I am happy to say that I found this a BluPrint. Oh and they have dogs! Shout out Coach Bacon!

BluPrint Fitness is the first gym that offers programs that are interesting, fun, challenging and not to mention, you feel like you’re getting personal training in a group class with the coaches checking on you and correcting your form. BluCru Members are friendly and welcoming, eager to include you, especially when you’re a Newbie and don’t know what to do when you’re asked to find a “friend”.The most exciting part for me it that the exercises are always changing, even though you may be working on a specific movement. Then there’s community at the gym with games, challenges and parties.I know I was horrified of having to jump into group classes, but I couldn’t stay in personal training forever. My Power clean was probably the worst Selby had ever seen and I thought I would never get that movement. I am still terrified at it, but it has improved a whole lot. So I took the plunge and realized that looks can be deceiving; group classes are a whole lot of fun with partners to push you beyond what you might think might be your limit.BluPrint is the longest practicing membership I’ve had and exercising in this manner is a way of life for me now. I can’t imagine going without Strength and Zone in my life and the best place to practice that is at BluPrint Fitness. Fabulous instruction from the coaches and you just might make a few new friends while there.

I have been a member of Bluprint Fitness for two years and counting, and Im really happy that I stepped outside of my comfort zone and walked in for an assessment. The coaching staff are friendly, welcoming and attentive. The programming is challenging but scalable, making it accessible for beginners and more seasoned athletes alike. The sense of community is really unlike any gym I have ever joined before, and its a big part of what has kept me coming in consistently for the past two years. Over that time I have lifted barbells, dumbells and kettlebells with increasingly heavier weights, created and smashed personal records, learned gymnastic movements I never dreamed of trying, and gained more self-confidence, discipline and yes, bigger muscles and lower body fat along the way. I recommend Bluprint Fitness to anyone who wants to break out of a fitness slump and try something challenging, fun, and ultimately very rewarding both physically and mentally.

This is my first ever Google review, so you know it must be a really big deal for me to post. BluPrint Fitness is where its at. If you have ever thought of joining the cult of CrossFit fitness, look no further. I was skeptical at first, didnt know if I embodied the look or strength of a CrossFit-er, whatever that entails. What I love most about this gym is that it doesnt matter what your starting point is, were in it together. The only person you are competing against, is yourself. Every time I come in, I push myself to be even better than the last practice and thats what being an athlete is all about. The coaches at BluPrint truly care about you and your well-being. Not only do they know your name and great you every time you come in the door, they tell you what youre doing wrong and praise you when youre doing things right. The class sizes are perfect and even when there are 20+ people in a class, you still feel like you are getting the one-on-one personal training experience. I cant say enough good things about BluPrint. If you are thinking about taking the plunge, do it, you wont ever look back!

BP has created an awesome community around fitness that makes it so much more exciting to work out and live healthfully - its like being an athlete in school again. The training philosophy is very health-based and I am confident I can train without creating negative impacts on my body.

Encouraging & Inspiring COACHES + Welcoming COMMUNITY = BLUPRINT FitnessWhen I think of Bluprint Fitness, this formula always comes to mind. Simple. It works!The COACHES – Very knowledgeable group of awesome coaches. They take each member at whatever level they are at (whether a seasoned Crossfitter, middle of the pack, former athlete, a newbie, old, young, etc) and they take YOU to YOUR next level as an athlete.EVERYONE is an Athleteand they come in all different sizes, shapes,and starting points – Bluprint FitnessCOMMUNITY – Welcoming and Fun. This is what makes Bluprint a wonderful community. I am an older athlete (happy member of the Masters Group – 40+) and I look forward to working out with any of the other groups. They encourage and support each other in a fun way.Yes, this is an awesome gym WITH a heart. For the past few years that I’ve been a member of Bluprint, they’ve had a fun erg rowing marathon and karaoke (KaROWKE) to benefit Recovery On Water (a rowing team for breast cancer survivors). I still remember the 26.2 miles rowing fundraiser last year. I was a member of a team of four and as I was closing in on the second to the last 1K meter (we rowed a total of 42,164+ meters ) , this awesome Bluprint athlete, from another team, knelt right next to the erg machine and started giving me encouragement, support and tips on finishing it. I knew she’s an incredible crossfit athlete and a seasoned rower (rowed in college) but it did not matter to her that am a novice. She had this “you can do it” face to me --- an amateur.This is the longest I’ve stayed a member of any gym, let alone a Crossfit Box. Why? -- I am made accountable for classes (you receive an email if you miss/cancel a few times); I learned food pointers/ideas/portion awareness from the SOGO challenge; the WOD (workout of the day) -- NEVER boring; every time you walk into the door of Bluprint there is always a Hello! from one of the coaches and they call you by name; I can bend my “bum” knee all the way down now (shout out to Coach Selby on Wednesday morning class), I’ve stuck to the morning session for over a year now. I’m not a very early morning person, at all; AND I am getting comfortable with being uncomfortable with the workouts (a year or so ago, I would have said…split jerk/back squat, what, me? burpees, why? (still least of my fav) deadlifts, really? rowing/ski/assault bike, omg!).Bluprint Fitness is the Best Box in Chicago, PERIOD.
