"Awesome spot! Just in town for a quick trip, but they let me drop in and join an afternoon class. Coach Gage gave me a tour since I showed up a bit early, and Coach Stephanie was welcoming and provided clear instructions during our workout. Everyone in the class was super nice. Absolutely recommend!"

"I had my first workout and I loved it! I visited two CrossFit gyms at 5:30am to see the atmosphere. I left South Loop Strength and Conditioning to the end of my gym visits and honestly, I was impressed. It is a place with a great energy, fabulous coaching, and excellent facilities. I signed up after the class. I'm excited to start visiting it everyday."

"Dropped in this morning for Saturday's partner wod and it was an outstanding challenger! Been doing crossfit for 6 years and this was a wod i will totally do again! It mixed cardio (row and bike), DBs (devil press and C&J), gymnastics (MUs and HSPU) and barbells (hang clean and S2OH) Ryan was an awesome coach - very encouraging with great guidance! Helped me string my MUs today! Jessica was another coach who partnered with me and she was so positive and motivating! Wonderful facility, clean and spacious! A great way to start my day! Thank you so much!"
