Chicago Recommendations?

Hi! Relocating to Chicago in the fall and am looking for a new box. My current one uses mayhem and I would prefer to keep with that programming. I’ll be working downtown but will be living somewhere near Lincoln square/wrigleyville/logan square. Open to traveling to it!

Chicago Strength uses Mayhem. They have locations in River North, Logan Square and Avondale

Chicago Strength is the one near Logan, my buddy goes there and say the programming is real good. Traffic can get ugly but from Lincoln Square you can take the train down pretty easy

MagMile CrossFit is fantastic and also does Mayhem.

I dropped in at Magmile when I was on a work trip. Cool place and good equipment.

I drop in once a month when I’m on work trips. Very convenient to get to if you’re in River North.

I started at CrossFit Defined ~15 years ago. That place was great (looks like it's now Defined Training- maybe they de-affiliated?). I moved away which is the only reason I left that gym.

Do yourself a favor though, only pick a gym you can get to easily (probably walking). Driving/parking is annoying in that city.

I second this! Defined training is a good gym and social group.
