Bluprint fitness is the best; hands down! I hadn't worked out in a few years and was looking for a solution that would change that; insert Bluprint (Byron, Janelle and their team of coaches). Next thing you know, it has been almost 2.5 years - I am stronger than ever before, going to the gym more than ever before; but more importantly - I am more accountable to myself than ever before. The programming is special and customized, but the environment keeps you coming back. If you are thinking about joining a gym and really need the hands-on training approach to help you, stop looking and join this

Bluprint has helped me transition back to the active lifestyle that I was used to growing up playing sports and in college. After moving to a new city, I struggled to find balance with a demanding career, exercise, and nutrition. I joined a gym prior to Bluprint but quickly got injured and made minimal progress at getting back in shape. Since joining Bluprint, I’ve found coaches who know my strengths and weaknesses as an individual and push me in a realistic way. I didn’t know much about weightlifting when joining, but now I’ve learned many new movements and improved on the old ones. Aside

I started going to Bluprint in April of 2021 as a way to put some structure around my fitness goals. The well structured workouts push you and the coaches motivate in the best ways. Now - if I don't make it to the gym, it feels like something's missing from my day. Highly recommended for anyone who is serious about putting in the work.

Bluprint is not just about the workout - they really challenge you to look at your whole health, working out included! The coaches really focus on you being safe and confident in your movements which is so crucial. I cannot say enough about the community - welcoming, encouraging and overall wonderful humans :)

I joined BPF during the pandemic a few months after my office and gym closed. Bluprint Fitness was the closest gym to my apartment and had great reviews. I didn't know at the time it was a CrossFit box, but it turned out to be a great surprise.
The intake process is a phone interview, goal setting, fitness baseline test and coach guidance for the first 6 weeks. After the 6 weeks, you assess your new baseline.
The box has superior cleanliness standards and protocols in place to ensure everyone feels safe.

I'm SO glad I found Bluprint and cannot recommend it enough! The coaching staff are wonderful and they have been so supportive and a tremendous help in getting me back into the grind after an injury that sidelined me. The environment is very inviting, friendly, and perfect for all levels of fitness. Also, the programming is challenging and varied and I have been really happy with the progress I've made. Oh AND the cute dogs of course.

I’ve been going to Bluprint for over 2 years and I’m glad I made Bluprint my neighborhood gym.
As a busy professional, I struggled with consistently getting to the gym and writing my own workouts. The Bluprint programmed workouts took out all the guess work. Going into the gym is now the best part of my day.
The coaches do an amazing job explaining the movements and will work with you to get the most out of your workout no matter what your skill level may be. I’ve seen results and done movements that I never would have achieved on my own.
Everyone in the class is super positive and supportive

Amazing gym and great workouts! The staff here is incredibly friendly and extremely qualified! They know how to push you to the limit in the best way possible with your workouts. You will not leave disappointed! There are also quarterly goal setting sessions to keep you motivated and accountable. Byron and Janelle have created a family vibe as soon as you walk in the doors – I highly recommend checking this gym out.

Bluprint is the best fitness decision I’ve made in the week 11 years I’ve lived in Chicago. Byron and Janelle have found a way to treat every person at the gym like they are their only client and you always feel so welcomed and comfortable. I’ve never been intimidated by any of the movements or like I didn’t fit in. On days I don’t make it I feel like I’m missing out. Anyone looking for new friends and a great fitness community should sign up 10 min ago yesterday!

LOVE LOVE LOVE my gym. Highly recommend if you're looking for a positive gym experience and don't know where to start. I never lifted weights a day in my life before going to Bluprint and the team was great about it. They made me feel so welcomed from the beginning and were very patient and took their time to explain everything and support me. The gym is incredibly diverse which I love--all shapes and sizes, race, and ages. I've also appreciated how serious they've taken Covid precautions--it was already a well maintained clean gym before covid but now even more so! The coaches

Bluprint is a phenomenal gym for all levels of fitness. Bluprint helped me lose 27 lbs. before my wedding while still gaining strength and muscle mass. Byron and Janelle are the best and so are the rest of the trainers. They didn't baby me, and they didn't shame me either. They gave me the personal instruction and feedback that allowed me to be successful. On top of the physical results the GYM was fun; full of great people with a competitive but even more so supportive environment. The classes are well put together and I always left knowing I got an amazing workout.

I'll start by saying I was never one who enjoyed working out, but I do it because it's good for me. That all changed when I started working out at Bluprint. I was out of the gym for a while this year due to a car accident injury and actually missed working out.
You'll see common themes when you read their reviews and they're all true:
Positivity: the coaches and other athletes are very positive and encouraging. Byron and Janelle have built a great community at this gym. After a day at work, going to the gym helps me not only physically, but mentally too. Having coaches that

This crossfit gym is amazing! It is an awesome environment, that motivates you to succeed and enables you to hold yourself accountable for your enhancements. The gym is diverse and nonjudgmental! The founders/owners/visionaries are all very welcoming, fair and committed to the passion of accurate crossfit training. The set up of the gym and it's programs is reasonable and allows you to determine your limitations and the coaches help you to exceed them! I love this gym! Check them out!

Being new to Crossfit (and not having the best luck with big box gyms in the past), I was a little nervous when I first reached out to Bluprint about becoming a member. After meeting Janelle, Byron and Selby during my first visit and fitness consultation, however, I new Bluprint was the right fit for me. Now, I have been consistently going to the gym 2-3x a week for 10 months, and I couldn't be happier with my fitness results. The combination of Bluprint coach's expertise, care, teaching and guidance have kept me coming back, week after week. All the coaches are wonderful and hold me

Bluprint Fitness/Chi-Town CrossFit is the most positive, supportive and fun experience I've ever had in a gym. All of the staff were immediately welcoming, engaging, and seemed to genuinely care about my success. More surprising to me was their focus on proper form, effectively ensuring that all members build the necessary foundation to be successful in their gym, and crossfit as a whole. This focus on form, and the methods with which they taught them, is something that is unique to Bluprint, and was something I greatly appreciated.
I genuinely look forward to each of my visits to Bluprint

I'm not a review writer. That being said, I am writing this because my experience at Bluprint has affected all aspects of my life in such a positive way, I just can't believe it! It's true, this place is proof that taking care of yourself and challenging yourself physically; (while being smart about it-thanks for the pointers Coach Byron and Janelle) is the corner stone to a fulfilled and happy life!
I know that each time I leave a class at Bluprint, I have set myself up for a great rest of the day. More energy, stronger, happier, better skin, better sleep. Another domino effect

I've been coming to BluPrint for almost 2 years now, and I love this place . The owners, Byron and Janelle, along with Coach Selby, are incredibly welcoming, encouraging and knowledgable about health and fitness. Their gym community is filled with athletes who cheer each other on, and I can assure you, this is not a "bro" type CrossFit spot. I am not and have never been an athlete, but Bluprint has truly given me so much confidence, strength, and stamina. The coaches are huge on form and the classes almost feel like personal training.

This place is so great for so many reasons. First, from the get-go, the coaches will set you on a path to success. And they have the experience to keep you focused and on that path, to achieve your goals. Second, every workout is a great time. The energy here cannot be beat. There are a lot of laughs and good times, but at the end of the day the workout is incredible. Bluprint perfectly blends fun with intensity so that you get an extreme workout but enjoy yourself while you're doing it. Join this gym and work with the best that Chicago has to offer!

I joined Bluprint Fitness in June of 2016. I never intended on joining a crossfit gym, I honestly had no idea what that even meant. At that point in my life I was the most out of shape I think I have ever been (while still running 3x/week bc that's what I thought "being healthy" meant). I was looking for a personal trainer online and Byron popped up, letting me know their rates and to stop by for a free assessment. I lived in wicker park at the time, so a 7 minute bike ride was no biggie. I ended up meeting with Janelle, who is probably the most welcoming person in the world (yes

I can personally say that the training protocols and expertise of Byron, Janelle, Selby and Pat are unparalleled. I was highly skeptical of cross fit when I first signed up.

8/19/15 - Bluprint is absolutely top notch when it comes to personalized health and fitness. I've been a member for only 2 short months and I almost immediately knew upon walking in there that this is somewhere I want to be for the long haul. This is my first experience with any sort of gym membership and once I convinced myself to make the plunge and go check it out they made it extremely easy to get started, I never felt uncomfortable throughout any of the process.
