  I love this place and how great everyone is here. I was intimidated when a close friend mentioned to me about joining together because I didn't think I could do it. Meeting Aneta and Chris completely changed that for me. They broke down the program for me and after trying the first class I was in. There is variety in the workouts so you don't get bored. They are intense and I leave there feeling stronger every time. The schedule is also very flexible and I love the idea of being able to drop in. If you have never tried PunchFit and want to try something new I recommend you try it out.

  I love this place. I am coming here for 11 months. The owners are great, i love the workouts, they push me out of my comfort zone and i get better and stronger not only there but in everyday life too. I highly recommend that place. They make you believe you can do it.
  PS. What makes this place different and better than other CrossFit places is tons of boxing and kicking and self defense moves are in the workout - and this is what i love most.

  I have a few things to say about Crossfit Lake Bluff, or more recently, PunchFit. Keep in mind that these opinions are coming from someone who has been going to this gym for over 6 months, has previously been a member of another Crossfit gym, and who's job requires regular, frequent, and organized physical training.
  
  1) If you are intimidated by the idea of "Crossfit", DON'T BE! One, Crossfit is infinitely scalable to any ability level. Two, the workouts aren't hours long but you feel so GOOD after! You spend 10-20 minutes of putting in some good work and man, you feel so energized after! This crazy stigma of Crossfit being unsafe is perpetuated by either people who don't know what Crossfit actually is or by irresponsible athletes and coaches who focus on their egos rather than good form. Neither the coaches nor the athletes here allow poor form to continue unchecked!
  
  2) Chris and Aneta (the owners and coaches) are SO wonderful. You'll never do anything you can't do. They will push you to accomplish what you didn't think you could but if you're not ready for something they won't push you! I've never had coaches who care so much. Their dedication is phenominal; they know what weights I should be using based on MY skill level, they know what my goals are and are constantly doing everything they can do to help meet them. They are both truly personable; many times after classes I've hung around and just talked with them because I enjoy it!
  
  3) Do you think it costs too much? That you could get a membership at the Y or at Globogym for a fraction of the cost and you'd be good to go? Take a look at all of the intangible benefits you're missing out on. Look at the majority of people who have those memberships and tell me what kind of gains they are making. Spoiler alert: they're not! Check out a few of the benefits you can't see:
  -Coaches who care about YOU
  -Accountability- someone motivating you to get into the gym
  -Coaches who TEACH you how to do the movements PROPERLY, so you don't get hurt
  -The chance to learn new things you didn't think you'd ever do. I never in my life pictured myself doing Olympic Lifts, yet now I'm doing Clean and Jerks, Snatches, and all of the power lifts! Too cool!
  -This is about FUNCTIONAL FITNESS. Can you move that heavy car part safely, can you take in the groceries without stopping to catch your breath, can you sit down without your joints protesting?
  -A true community of wonderful people that know each other and support one another in the pursuit of their goals.
  -And so many more I'd sound like a nut listing them all here.
  
  4) People equate working out (read that: muscle soreness) with LESS function. Such as, "oh I'm so sore that I can't even sit down on the toilet". But they fail to realize that testing and strengthening usable ranges of motion (aka working out using functional movement, like Crossfit and PunchFit does) is only going to improve the way you feel when you move! Will you be sore after some workouts? Sure, but if you take care of yourself like drink water and get proteins of whatever fashion into your body it won't keep you from getting up and down the stairs. You'll feel stronger and more capable. There is no price on the mental security that brings!
  
  THE POINT IS, this place is great! Go here if you want to feel better about how you move and meet some wonderful people while you're at it. You don't have to feel like some fit or strong person to walk in the door! That's the point of this place, to HELP you feel like that!

  A year ago, I went to a fitness center where all I did was run on the treadmill or use the elliptical. I was bored with my workout, but I didn’t know what exercises are good for me. I was looking for something new and FUN that will strengthen my muscles and bones, and get my body into shape. I found all that in CrossFit Lake Bluff. Chris and Aneta Hunter are exceptional trainers and wonderful people. They incorporate different types of workouts that work different muscles at the same time, providing a perfect balance. They get to know each member and their physical limitations. They provide a perfect balance between safety and pushing the members to work hard. Their WODs are brutal, but they make it fun for everyone. Since I joined CrossFit Lake Bluff, I feel great about myself, physically and mentally. The WODs made me stronger, energized, and less stressed. I’m sleeping better, too! If anyone is looking for a CrossFit gym that provides combative training, this is the place. The gym has ample space for working out. Come to CrossFit Lake Bluff and join now! You won’t be disappointed!

  No matter how I feel or how tired I am, I find myself coming in for WODs at CrossFit Lake Bluff. The box features coaches, who strike the perfect balance between safety and pushing their members, are helpful, fun, and provide great programming. They seamlessly scale the workouts and provide a great space and experience for members of all fitness levels. Highly recommended.
