Today, I am stronger, faster, and healthier than I ever thought I would be. Tomorrow, I will be even more so thanks to Carlos, Lindsey and Crossfit Impact family. Every time I return to their facility they welcome me with open arms and have so much more knowledge to share. I have never had a trainer or been to a gym that cares more about their clients or members. Not only do you have a great work out but Carlos and Lindsey take care of everyone as though they were family; from stretching, food logs, parties and more Crossfit Impact is second to none. It's unfortunate that I had to move because I know I will never find a better place or better friends than those at Crossfit Impact.

Carlos, Thanks for running a great program. The entire family is loving Crossfit! Even little Hailey, who used to say how hard it was in the beginning, now asks if there are more classes, all because you and Lindsey built up her confidence with encouraging comments about her squat (of course now she is rubbing it in Ethan's face). This is also the first time my wife and I have ever really shared an exercise experience, and it's been great; usually we're doing things on our own. The community at CFI is awesome. I stop by a box every time I travel, and though they are all great, none of them spends as much time on stretching and prehab as you do. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for making this Peru trip possible for me.
You and the Glenview CrossFit Impact program developed my strength, balance, and fitness. I now appreciate the “core strengthening” philosophy which made me physically capable of climbing these trails at high elevations, day after day! That’s amazing, I was skeptical last April when you said I’d be ready for the trip, and I couldn’t even do a push-up. You navigated me through the CrossFit program perfectly for my senior age and lousy physical condition. Thank you is very inadequate, I really appreciate your working with me and letting me be part of CrossFit Impact in Glenview, IL. Honestly, I wouldn’t have been surprised if you had told me last April that I wasn’t a candidate for the CrossFit program.

The people at CrossFit Impact have been terrific and patient with me in the workouts. I’ll never be first, or one of the strongest, but I will be in the action which is great for me at this time in my life. I’m looking forward to continuing my fitness program in Glenview CrossFit Impact.

Hasta pronto,

I'm a ten year old girl. I highly recommend Crossfit. It's so much fun! I enjoy it because you meet so many new people and start to bond together. At Crossfit, I learned how to do kettlebell swings and how to row. My goal is to deadlift 95 lbs before I'm eleven. I LOVE CROSSFIT!!

I am a ten year old boy from Evanston. Crossfit is a great experience for me. Crossfit is awesome because I got stronger and made new friends. Also I feel healthier. It's like playing on the playground except you're learning new things at the same time. I eat healthier because of Crossfit. I don't eat as much candy. In my lunch, I always pack arugula, some fruit and a source of healthy fat and protein. My goal is to compete in the Crossfit games when I'm twenty.

Just wanted to start your day off with something positive. Nate and Zoe this morning both said how glad they are that we eat so healthy - what 10 year old says that?? And they said this while eating veggies at breakfast.

Now they have made up their own WOD and are doing that before they go to school. And for Nate that is after the 2 miles he and I ran together this morning.

Thanks for making healthy living cool!

Carlos, Lindsey, and Eric:

Thank you for welcoming me into your Crossfit family while visiting from
Seattle. I consider all of you to be incredible trainers, and your facility
to be the ideal Crossfit gym.

Two things that especially stood out for me as a visitor:

1. You took time to ask questions, determine fitness levels, and work with
each participant (myself included) to make the workout appropriate for each
athlete's fitness level.

2. The atmosphere in the gym is very supportive. After being there for 5
minutes, I got to know many of my fellow Crossfitters and enjoyed all of the
post-workout congratulations and fist bumps.

I hope to see you all next year when I return to Glenview for this annual
trip.

Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Crossfit Impact is an great facility, with an extensive amount of new equipment in a space that looks professional and well-maintained. I was in town visiting from San Diego and looking to continue my Crossfit training while on vacation. I was excited to find Crossfit Impact, and Carlos made me instantly feel welcome and at ease as a visitor. Carlos is an excellent coach, who pays attention to detail and makes a point to ensure that the athletes understand the movements and get the basics down before piling on the weight. His classes are varied and challenging, and the camaraderie between the athletes was very supportive and positive. I will make sure to stop by Crossfit Impact again anytime I'm in the Chicago area to continue my Crossfit training

CrossFit Impact in Glenview/Chicago, IL is a great gym that I go to without fail whenever I’m in Chicago. Starting with the coaches, and continuing with the members and the gym itself, CrossFit Impact is fantastic and sure to help you make the most of your workout. I first visited CrossFit Impact over several days in November 2010 soon after it opened and then recently again in November 2011. My positive experience started as soon as I walked in the door when the coaches took the time to introduce/re-introduce themselves to me, ask about my experience and comfort in the gym, and then introduce me to all the other members in attendance. This small act really helped me feel immediately comfortable and ease right into the workout. Next, the coaches ran the class through a series of targeted warm-ups intended to get us ready for the metabolic conditioning part of the workout. Personally, I found the coaches all very knowledgeable and able to focus individually on everyone there, helping us with our respective warm-ups and other stretching needs, including whether anyone had any injuries or physical limitations that required special attention and possible substitution of a different movement. Finally, all of the workouts that I attended over the several days that I visited CrossFit Impact were also excellent. In particular, the one that sticks out in my mind was a team-oriented workout, which is not usually a favorite type of workout for me. However, the coaches took the time to pair all of us up with people of similar skill and then really cheered us on right from the beginning through the end of the workout. It was a great experience both for the workout itself, as well as continual support offered by the coaches and even the members. All in all, CrossFit Impact is a great gym and I highly recommend it for anyone visiting or living in the area.
