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.
