Chicago... Refresh and Recharge

Dtown CHI

Chi-Town is a great city with plenty to do, I always enjoy visiting. Chicago boasts superb Restaurants, stellar music, excellent parks and it's a "Premier Sports Town" #Cubs #WhiteSox #Bulls #Bears......and the #BlackHawks don't worry I wouldn't forget (2013 NHL champions). Btw I just used my limit of hashtags for the year and not to mention there are a plethora of great CrossFit gyms in the Chicago area. 

Windy City CrossFit (Lakeview Area) is one that tops the list, they have the new CrossFitters in their own class for 3 months to learn all the techniques as they ramp up to start the larger main classes. The main reason being is they can recieve more one-on-one coaching in the smaller classes. Another great box is CrossFit Chicago (1444 W Willow St) this gym offers the normal intense CrossFit workouts but also has a standard gym semi luxury appeal to it as well. This gym has 2 levels, the second level consisting of a lounge w/ couches and free WiFi. CrossFit Chicago also offers men's and womens locker rooms. Last but not least,  Atlas CrossFit (north side of the city) is a large facility with a diverse schedule of classes. In addition to their CrossFit classes they offer MMA, TRX and a few other class options. Furthermore, CrossFit Defined, another Lakeview area box and Chicago Elite Fitness, located in Chicagos Bucktown Neighborhood, are also great gyms with a solid reputation.

It's always nice to get away and recharge. Work hard and bust you butt during the week and if you get a chance to get away for the weekend that can be refreshing and beneficial. It's exciting to see and experience new scenery. If you get a chance to work out when you are away great but if not get right back in the groove when you return home. You will be refreshed and ready to crush your workouts.
