PXM Fitness Center

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Life-Changing Personal Training Experience! I can't say enough good things about my experience at PXM—especially with my personal trainer, Robert. I've been working out consistently for years, but training with Robert has taken my fitness to a whole new level. Since starting with him, I’ve gained muscle, lost fat, and built confidence in ways I didn’t think were possible. And the most incredible part? My medical lab results have improved beyond what I ever expected—even for a condition I thought I was stuck with for life! Robert is truly exceptional. He’s not just knowledgeable—he’s kind, funny, and deeply thoughtful about my unique needs, including a wrist injury and a chronic medical condition. He pushes me to my limits but always ensures I'm safe and never in pain. His approach is both strategic and motivating, making every session both effective and fun. If you’re looking for real, measurable progress and a trainer who genuinely cares, email PXM now and ask for Robert! He has completely changed my outlook on fitness, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to PXM Fitness for a couple of years now, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The gym is always spotless and well-organized, making it a welcoming and comfortable space to work out. The equipment is well-maintained and easy to access, even during peak hours. What really sets PXM apart is the incredible staff. Everyone is so friendly and approachable, and they genuinely care about helping you reach your fitness goals. The personal trainers are top-notch – knowledgeable, supportive, and great at tailoring workouts to individual needs. A special shoutout to my personal trainer, Robert, who I've been working with for the past 4 years. He's truly the best! Robert's history, expertise, dedication, and personalized approach have completely transformed my fitness journey. He knows exactly how to push me to my limits while keeping me motivated and focused on my goals. If you’re looking for a gym that combines cleanliness, a positive atmosphere, and a team that truly cares, PXM Fitness is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I train with Robert at PXM and he is a fantastic personal trainer and person. Robert has exceptional knowledge of nutrition, body mechanics, body building, and sport science. He programs towards your goals both short term and long term and cares deeply for his athletes. He works flexibly around your schedule and equipment availability, particularly during travel. He brings energy and positivity to every single session. Robert had helped me grow stronger, injury free. PXM as a gym is clean and lively. The members and staff are friendly, the equipment well maintained and organized.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about this gym! I have been a member of 6 gyms, including PXM, in 3 states; NC, MD, and IL. PXM is by far the best. The coaches are kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional. The owner, Senad, is a true professional and an amazing athlete. My wife and I both feel really lucky to be members of the gym. One last thing: CrossFit gets a bad rap because a lot of gyms have poor programming coupled with bad coaches. The programming at PXM is top-notch and the coaches know what they are doing. The coaches and the owner also care enough to ask you to take things back a notch if you are executing the movements unsafely or incorrectly. PXM is definitely my happy place.

Fantastic experience: **Highly Recommend** The energy, encouragement, and friendships I found here were everything. I’m so grateful for PXM. To Senad and all at PXM, thank you for being so much more than a place to work out, you made me feel a part of the community.

Fantastic experience: PXM Fitness is and always has been a great place for anyone that is looking to start or restart their fitness journey. I first started here in 2018 and learned so much about the world of fitness and even how my own body works (after only having been a runner for most of my adult life). The coaches work to not only correct your form, but to educate you along the way. I took a break for 2 years to deal with some health issues, but returning to my fitness journey here felt like a warm embrace from an old friend and I knew I could rebuild here.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for 4 years and I’ve never had the results from strength training like this from any other gym. Not only do I look forward to every workout, every workout is different from the last which keeps me interested and new muscles being recruited all the time. These group workouts are more like personal training classes with individual alignment and correction offered every class by coaches who know their stuff! Highly recommend trying it if you are going to the same group fitness classes over and over.

Fantastic experience: They make me not hate exercise. Co-owner Senad is incredibly knowledgeable. Matt, the new head coach, has brought some great variety in the training structure. Brad is kind and approachable—his core class is a highlight. Kris is so patient and friendly.

Fantastic experience: After being a member for more than ten years, I can say yes, PXM is a great place to learn/grow with crossfit. The group class coaching keeps us motivated and safe. What I have also learned is it is a great place to getting personal coaching for non-HIIT training. For the past 1+ years I have been working with coach Robert on building upper body muscle, supporting my cranky knee, and keeping an eye on nutrition. He has a low-key style with a heavy mix of accountability and creativity that works well for me. Coach Robert is helping me to recognize that copious amounts of sweat, soreness and fatigue are not necessarily signs of an effective workout. All in all, one can't go wrong with the mix of group and personal coaching that PXM brings.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym- very clean, friendly staff, top-notch trainers as well as nutrition coaches, and a welcoming community!

Fantastic experience: I have had an outstanding (almost!) three years at PXM. What started as just CrossFit classes has evolved into nutrition coaching (thank you Robert!) and custom programming (thank you Leah!). I’ve gained confidence, strength, stamina all from this great community. Thanks for everything!

Fantastic experience: I've spent most of my adult life focused on being as slim as possible. PXM has helped me to shift my energies and reframe my goals to focus on being as strong as possible. At PXM you'll learn to lift heavy things, command your body weight, and sharpen your athleticism within a community that is hard working, supportive, and fun!

Fantastic experience: PXM has been a great place for me to repair my relationship with fitness. The community there is so kind, and the trainers are always happy to meet you where you’re at. I genuinely look forward to my sessions every week

Fantastic experience: Great group of people to train with. Love their balance of intense workouts while also having fun and supporting each other.

Fantastic experience: PXM is the awesome! The coaches and owners are very knowledgeable and care about you as a whole. This community is the best! This gym is literally for everyone, regardless of your level of fitness. They have a ton of class availability every day and some specialty classes (like Olympic weightlifting, aerobic capacity, core, etc) throughout the week and on the weekends.

Fantastic experience: Whether you are just starting your fitness journey or continuing it, PXM is the place to go! PXM has an incredible community atmosphere. Coaches and members make you feel welcomed and supported. One of my favorite things about our coaches is their knowledge on proper form and technique. They also take the time to work with each athlete at their level. They will push you while keeping safety in mind. The facility itself is well maintained with clean equipment and a hygienic environment. Let this be your sign and check them out!

Fantastic experience: I started at PXM without knowing much of anything beyond wanting to try crossfit. 1. PXM is an amazing place. 2. I can see why people love crossfit and become addicted to it 3. The orientation for new folks is great and brings you up to speed for whatever your speed is. 4. Speaking of that. Every workout and movement has options for people with different goals and abilities. That's pretty cool. 5. The coaches are amazing humans. Helpful, motivating, fun. 6. It's a wonderful community and you'll find great people in addition to the fitness goals you are looking for. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve pushed myself out of my comfort zone and learned how to get stronger and healthier. The trainers help you customize workouts for your abilities and goals.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever! PXM is focused on overall fitness and does a great job at programming workouts that can be modified for all fitness levels. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: PXM was the first crossfit gym I entered where I felt comfortable and supported. The onboarding process was so helpful without feeling intimidating, and they will meet anyone where they are in their fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: At PXM I finally found a place that is the perfect balance of small group personalized training, a great flexible class schedule that works with my insane schedule, and a supportive environment to keep me encouraged!! I had a lot of concerns going in because of constant back pain from scoliosis. The onboarding process and individualized care, meant that all my concerns were taken into account and an approach was created just for me. Every trainer in the group classes knew my needs, and gave adjustments to make sure the session worked for my body. So if you're looking for incredible value for money, this is the place to go!! Being able to basically get a "personal training" quality workout 5 times a week is unbelievable!

Fantastic experience: I joined PXM a few months ago and it is hands down the best gym I've ever been to. Each class I learn something new about myself and my capabilities. It's mostly Crossfit-adjacent group classes, but they also offer olympic lifting, personal training, weekend community workouts (a Saturday morning class with Coach Chris is fantastic way to kickoff your weekend / cap off your week), and other small group sessions. I was admittedly worried about going to a Crossfit type gym, they come with a certain reputation, but I look forward to going to the gym frequently and consistently. The culture at the gym is really fantastic, my classmates (and coaches) are encouraging and helpful, and everyone wants to help you do your best given your abilities. It's impossible not to make friends at PXM. Additionally, I came to the gym with a lingering "knee" issue, but with a combination of physical therapy and a lot of individualized attention from the coaches, I'm feeling the best I've felt in years. Senad, one of the owners was extremely helpful at encouraging me to continue to move throughout my recovery. With a lot of support, I was able to continue moving throughout my recovery and I think this helped accelerate my overall recovery timeline. Coach Leah and Coach Matt we really helpful (and incredibly patient with the million questions I asked) in helping me find movements that were supportive and didn't cause pain while still working towards the goal of a specific class. All the coaches are really great at modifying workouts to ensure you are working towards the prescribed movements without risking injury. Most classes offer two tracks, each with modifications, that are designed for folks who either want to do more traditional Crossfit movements and another for folks who are seeking more traditional fitness movements or are working towards being able to do the Crossfit movements. The gym has a general wellness focus, so you can also sign up for nutrition counseling, meal prep kits, massage, etc. I recently signed up for nutrition coaching with Melissa, and I'm learning a lot everyday about what my body needs to fuel itself. If you are looking for a welcoming, inclusive, and fun place to workout, I can't recommend PXM enough.

Fantastic experience: Excellent first CrossFit experience. Came for a community class to try it out and Senad the coach made me feel very comfortable. Checked in with me on some exercises, felt like they really expect you work at your level and offered adjustments I really found helpful. A few people introduced themselves so it felt like there’s a good sense of community there. Super recommend the community classes as a way to experience CrossFit and see if you vibe. PXM is very welcome and supportive.

Fantastic experience: I will definitely miss everyone at PXM - job and commute change are the only reasons I am no longer a member - will be back if I am ever able!

Fantastic experience: joined PXM as a relative newcomer to lifting and a total newbie to crossfit. the coaching style is generous with lots of individual feedback on technique. they offer plenty of scaling options and a nice focus on lifting well, rather than lifting heavy. especially worth checking out for those new to the sport.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been partnered with PXM Fitness for almost a year now and can say that their service is like no other. Each time I go into the facility it’s a great atmosphere and the trainers are amazing people who genuinely want to help you. What’s great about them too is they practice what they preach. All of them are constantly training and helping those around them get better continuously.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to PXM for about a year and a half now! I came in as a distance runner with very little weight training experience (and no crossfit experience). I've learned SO much through the classes & coaches! I feel more confident in and out of the gym. A few things I love about this gym: - scaling options for everyone at all fitness leves. - they focus on teaching proper form -- whether you're experienced with lifting/cf or not! - everyone is there to cheer each other on. - crossfit style workouts can be intense but I love the challenge and have become a much stronger athlete on all fronts (including running!) I've also been working with Robert Prevatt for the past few months on nutrition! I came in with ~some~ knowledge on the topic but working with a professional is what really helped FINALLY start hitting my goals! In addition to the acountability aspect of working with nutriton coach, Robert was super knowedgeable and easy to work with. I feel substaintially stronger, leaner, and healthier thanks to Robert's coaching. Overall, I highly reccomend this gym & it's coaches! If you're considering joining PXM, I know that it has a higher price than a nation-wide cookie-cutter gym BUT the value is truly there if you have the budget for it. The coaches care and want you to succeed. My gym membership is an investment in my physical health, mental health, and overall longevity (:

Fantastic experience: Just dropped in at PXM fitness. Beautiful gym with everything you could ask for! Recommend for any drop ins or newcomers to CrossFit.

Fantastic experience: PXM has been a really great experience for me. The coaches are all great, supportive and will meet you where you are at. The fitness approach helps people no matter where they are at in their fitness journey. You will learn a lot about your own body through the movements and exercises to achieve your personal goals. The community of people at PXM is awesome!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to work out! Coaches are super knowledgeable; they guide you constantly and offer variations based on your proficiency. The mental motivation is a plus, always cheering you on to reach the next level while reminding you that if you just want to do a good workout, that's possible! Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Awesome staff and members! Great place to workout and stay active! I’m 65 and love PXM!

Fantastic experience: I have joined this place not too long ago, yet I am already seeing results. Great community, great workouts, great trainers. I highly recommend and am happy I have invested in myself by joining. Check out their instagram account. If you see me there say hi ✌️

Fantastic experience: I’ve dropped in to PXM a few times and each time I always leave with a big smile on my face. Knowledgeable coaching , clean gym, and overall great experience! Will continue to drop in when I am in the area!

Fantastic experience: I love this place. Great atmosphere, very knowledgeable and caring coaches. Whether you’re a seasoned crossfitter or beginning your journey to fitness, there’s always something good for you here: varied WODs, specialty classes, fun activities, and educational seminars, to name a few. After having tried other places in the Chicago area, I finally found this one that is helping me get stronger, stay motivated, and enjoy working out again.

Fantastic experience: Coaches are amazing, they really care about your goals, are kind, skilled, run a great program, and know how to produce results. BEST THING I EVER DID FOR MYSELF.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve ever belonged to, both in terms of training and culture.

Fantastic experience: Love this place so much!! Amazing coaches and community!!

Fantastic experience: Being part of the PXM family was by far the best experience I had with exercising and being consistent with working out. When you just get a random personal trainer in a regular gym after a while it gets boring, it’s hard to convince yourself to go to the gym, but here I am actually looking forward to go on the trainings. Also Very good educated trainers non stop on site, which is very important for preventing injuries. I recommend 10/10

Fantastic experience: I’m early on in my workout journey, but PXM has been wonderful. Wherever you are in your fitness journey, PXM can help you get to the next step. For any beginners thinking they can’t do it—you can. There are modifications for every workout and the coaches are all spectacular. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best! Great facility (clean and organized). Coaches program well and really care to develop a connection. They find out how to make your fitness journey one that will last.

Fantastic experience: Wellness, support, care, long-form attention, check-ins, varied offerings, smiles. When you have a community gym that serves to improve the total body, the value of the experience is 10x the cost. The owners of this facility have made a conscious effort to genuinely help those willing to help themselves. Simply showing up is on you. The rest is taken care of. Few businesses can say they changes lives. PXM does exactly that. Whatever preconceived notions you may have about joining a gym, assume they are self-limiting. Take the leap, you'll never look back.

Fantastic experience: As I’ve moved around the Chicagoland area, I’ve been to about 5 or 6 different CrossFit gyms and can say this is the best one. Senad, Lamont, Leah and all the other coaches truly know what they’re talking about and care about your growth in your fitness journey. Everyone is super friendly and makes you feel like you’ve been there for years. Absolutely love PXM!

Fantastic experience: Really great gym with knowledgeable instructors!

Fantastic experience: Senad’s coaching was thorough and I was provided with individual feedback. After a year away from CrossFit, it’s motivational to find a place where I feel I’ll get meaningful support and instruction. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Friendly coaches, excellent environment, and a welcoming community made this place amazing to workout at

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a week while working in Chicago. Excellent coaching and Senad is great!

Fantastic experience: Love love love pxm! I love the class, the trainers and the diversity. 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: These guys are fantastic. I have been learning a lot from them. Very helpful coaches and the variety of classes keep you from losing your rythm at the gym. Definitely recommend PXM if you are looking for a new gym or need to get back on the horse after a hiatus.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym with a strong community and experienced fitness instructors. If you're contemplating a personal trainer; the monthly program with three classes each week is a steal - as you get their professional expertise and an incredible workout at a fraction of the cost.

Fantastic experience: Friendly to all fitness levels and LGBTQ+ peoples. I felt comfortable immediately and Leah was a great instructor!

Fantastic experience: Recently changed to PXM as my coach trains there now. The facility is very clean and well maintained. Staff very friendly and people are there to put in the work so the atmosphere is very welcoming and inspiring.

Fantastic experience: I've been to a few crossfit and crossfit type gyms around the country and this is arguably one of the best! 1) Really great set of engaged coaches who are focused on your form, your wellbeing, your health. There are not pushing a standard or specific version of "fitness" on you. Instead they help you find what's best for you and your goals. 2) Great space and equipment with a ton options in terms of programming. Good for a lot of reasons, but it's great for scaling up or down, tweaking a workout for your needs (see #1 above), etc 3) Great community of people. If you're going to spend time and money to go somewhere several hours a week, you might as well go to a a welcoming, friendly community that is looking out for you. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: PXM was the first crossfit gym I entered where I felt comfortable and supported. The onboarding process was so helpful without feeling intimidating, and they will meet anyone where they are in their fitness journey. This is the first time in my life where I actually look forward to going to the gym every time. The additional programming like individualized workout plans and nutrition coaching are affordable and effective. Cannot recommend enough!!!!

Fantastic experience: I've worked out at several CrossFit boxes and this is by far my favorite. The coaches truly care and the community is genuine. The coaches know what they're talking about, are supportive without being pushy, and the programming is tough but flexible. Everyone is truly welcome. So grateful for this gym!

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I've ever been part of — challenging workouts, great leadership, an inclusive community, and lots of programming to get better as an athlete.

Fantastic experience: Having no experience in CrossFit, I joined PXM almost 6 months ago wanting to try something new and challenge myself. Without a doubt, one of the best decisions I've made. The coaches are the highlight of this gym as they are incredibly knowledgeable, motivating and thoughtful with each individual regardless of age and/or level of experience. I've seen tremendous improvements in my own well-being in such a short time that can only be attributed to the programming received here. The community fostered at PXM is also one of kind as the members are so welcoming and encouraging. You truly receive an all around great experience as a member here. Very happy with my decision to be here so far!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic gym with increadible coaches and a great community! I randomly found the gym through Midsommarfest in Andersonville where they enticed me to try a pullup competition. I decided to give the gym a shot after working out at my home gym for years. I absolutely am loving the expereince. I have learned a tremendous amount about proper lifts, form, new workouts, and its insane how much my cardio has improved (easily 3x). It's been a little over a month now and I go pretty regularly. I even am trying to train for a serious fitness challenge in November. The highlight of the gym are the coaches. They truly work closely with everyone from your first on-ramp trainings to joining classes, they really get to know you and your capabilities. In class they remember a ton and make sure you are safe while still pushing to hit new goals. It's a ton of fun and the community is fantastic. Absolutely recommend people try them out!

Fantastic experience: I have been doing CrossFit for six years and of the dozens of facilities I've visited, PXM stands out as having brilliant programming and instructors. PXM is inclusive to people from all walks of life with all fitness backgrounds. Cannot recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Super knowledgeable, inspiring, and challenging coaches. Encouraging community. So glad I joined PXM!

Fantastic experience: So pleased with the class schedule, instruction and overall programming at PXM. As a newcomer to Crossfit, I was excited to see that while the gym does participate in competitive events, there was no issue with me joining just to improve my relationship with exercise through PXM's focus on functional fitness. The strong sense of community at PXM is a direct result of the positive leadership and coaching there, keeping me motivated to show up throughout the week. 10/10 would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, all the coaches are so great to work with and you can tell they’re happy to be there and help you improve. Classes are fun and motivating.

Fantastic experience: PXM its the best fitness center because they provide the best in class: facility, programming, offerings and coaches. Not only that, they are all about embodying their philosophy and values. That has created an amazing community and a place of belonging for all. Member since 2018!!! PS. Check their Olympic weightlifting classes and team lead by coach Lamont!!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Top of the line equipment and plenty of it! Coaches are very helpful. Classes are easy to schedule. I’ve been to other CrossFit gyms and this is by far the nicest.

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to be in a gym where age or physical ailments do not define your athletic potential. The coaches at PXM will meet you where you’re at and give you the tools needed to mobilize and/or strengthen your body. Whether you attend group classes or train through individualized programming, you will experience workouts that are thoughtful and intentional. I’ve been through several gyms and this is hands down the best gym in city of Chicago! Thank you PXM for the transformations you’ve made in my health and outlook in life!! I greatly appreciate you!

Fantastic experience: I have really found the perfect gym with PXM. The class sizes are great, and the coaches are phenomenal. If you're looking for a gym that will keep you motivated, this is it!

Fantastic experience: I feel more comfortable and supported at PXM than any other gym where I held a membership. The coaches here are very personable and professional and make every workout a good time. They are attuned to my personal fitness goals and create an environment where everyone feels accepted. The community of athletes are also an integral part of what makes this gym so great. Despite varying degrees of fitness, I’ve experienced nothing but support and encouragement from all the members I’ve encountered in various classes I’ve taken. This is truly a very special place!

Fantastic experience: I joined the PXM few years ago when I was first diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. I was only 95lb, malnourished, extremely tired and very weak ( I couldn’t use stairs without getting short of breath or being dizzy). PXM was the best decision I made at that time. The coaches are knowledgeable, dedicated, caring and encouraging. With their training I gained not only strength, but also friends and home to go back to. I did travel nursing for two years and the best part of coming back to Chicago was going to see everyone at PXM:) Today I am strong, healthy and happy. I continue lift weights and work with Coach Senad regularly even 20 weeks pregnant:) I highly recommend the gym to EVERYONE. I promise you will find there anything you looking for and more.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, always helpful trainers and lots of different classes. Most friendly and social members of any gym I have ever been to, fun events as well as educational classes. I’m no big competitive lifter, but I’ve gotten so much out of going to this gym.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Very helpful. Worth the money!

Fantastic experience: As a person with physical impairments, CrossFit was something that always felt unattainable and pretty much impossible for me to try. When I joined PXM, the coaches took me in and made sure I always had what I needed to be successful without making me feel uncomfortable or singled out. Physical fitness should be accessible to everyone, regardless of your abilities and at PXM they will go above and beyond to make sure you succeed and reach your goals. I would recommend absolutely everyone to come to PXM, meet the incredibly welcoming community and coaches, and you will quickly regret not joining sooner.

Fantastic experience: I've lived/traveled to lots of places and visited a variety of gyms. This is hands-down the best gym I've ever joined. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, engaged and committed to safety, technique and ensuring everyone has a great workout. The programming is also top notch - whether you want crossfit, individual design, yoga, mobility - there's something for everyone regardless of age, ability or fitness level. Highly, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: PXM is much more than a fitness facility. It is a place of community and friends. Honestly this place has changed my life for the better. I had always been intimidated to try something that involved lifting weights and I don’t regret it one but. Everyone is so accepting and you feel like you belong. They meet you at your level of experience and guide you to grow. I recommend PXM to everyone.

Fantastic experience: What's not to love about PXM? I've been a member for over 6 years and have no plans to leave anytime soon! In no particular order... - The space itself is clean and organized, with a range of equipment for classes and open gym - The community is supportive with friendly competition and minimal toxic egos - The programming is intentional, and new practices/classes are often incorporated for overall wellness/continuous learning - The coaching staff is supportive and meets people where they are at - whether you have no athletic background or if you're training to compete, they will work with you towards whatever goal and capacity you have - The leadership shows great care and integrity, openly communicating with members and always cultivating a sense of community & belonging inside and outside of the gym tldr; if you are looking well-kept gym with great people and programming, look no further than PXM

Fantastic experience: Positive environment, great facility, amazing people.

Fantastic experience: This is more than a gym- it is a fitness family! Don’t know where I would be without PXM.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Coaches are great and they offer a variety of different classes in addition to traditional CF classes. Amazing, supportive community!

Fantastic experience: They go over and beyond! The entire staff is fun, inviting, knowledgeable and most important they care about their athletes. The gym is clean and organized and their programming is on point (in my opinion, of course). Great gym and I highly recommend at least trying them out!

Fantastic experience: I started at PXM during the month of November, and am taking off during the month of December due to holiday traveling and partying. However, I want to take this time to share how awesome this place is. Every staff member is friendly and professional. I truly feel like they want me to be successful on my PXM journey. I highly recommend trying it out if you are in the Chicago area.

Fantastic experience: I cannot even begin to express how important and impactful PXM has been on health and life in general since I joined in 2019. I had slipped a disc in my back a year earlier and wanted to start working out again but was afraid to do so by myself, but joining a gym and getting a personal trainer was far too expensive. I figured with crossfit I could workout and at least have someone there to answer any questions. I still can't believe how far my expectations were exceeded from the get-go. Rather than throw me into a class like some of the other gyms I'd talked to wanted to do, I had a full month of personal training so they could see the extent of my recovery and my physical limits. Including educating me on how my body has adapted since my injury. From my first class, every coach was fully aware of my injury and always kept an eye out to check my form. When covid hit, they did not miss a beat and we were provided with at home workouts every single day designed for any manner of equipment you might have at home (even none). I have always been able to reach out to any coach directly for advice on modifications or any concerns. When the gym reopened, they were the first ones to be completely prepared, sending out a fully illustrated PDF on social distancing, mask, and sanitation guidelines and I have never not felt safe working out since. This year I broke my elbow, they were immediately there for moral support, and designed personal workouts for me to keep me moving without risking further harm to my elbow. After finishing PT, I was told not to expect getting back a certain level of mobility in my elbow, but the resources PXM has provided me, from personal 1 on 1 muscle release/therapy sessions, to modified exercises, weekly check ins, and knowing exactly when to encourage me to take my work a little further and when to hold back, I have recovered almost all of my original extension, my pain is reduced, and have even relieved tension in the rest of my body. As a gay man, I've often felt the pressure and stigma of body type in my community and other gyms. The community at PXM have never made me feel less than, the coaches and other members are nothing but supportive and encouraging. I've never felt more comfortable in my body in the gay community. I've made friends, I've learned, I'm appreciated. Even in times of financial hardship, never once have I considered quitting PXM as a way to cut expenses and I can never imagine leaving now.

Fantastic experience: I just started going a few days ago, and I’m instantly impressed with this gym. The facility is extremely clean, and they do an amazing job making sure everyone is safe during these crazy times. I love how your first sessions are about technique before you start taking actual classes. I’m currently working with Senad who’s knowledgeable on how to workout properly without causing injuries. I would definitely recommend this gym, especially if you’re looking for something sustainable. It’s worth it!

Fantastic experience: Very professional staff, very satisfied

Fantastic experience: Loved doing some drop-in classes here with some great coaches and community from time to time. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick, easy, drop-in! Super awesome spot!

Fantastic experience: This is a super supportive environment where you are pushed, but with care. The coaches are passionate about getting each member to their personal fitness goals. It's apparent that this isn't just a business for them, it's a calling. Join this gym. You won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking to advance your fitness and athletic skills, as well as find a community where all people are embraced and celebrated, PXM is the place for you! They have an extremely clean and well-maintained facility, excellent coaches who care and take time with their athletes (especially new ones), and a supportive community that offers something for everyone. I highly recommend giving PXM a try whether you are an experienced CrossFitter like myself, or just looking to get started with a new routine.

Fantastic experience: Coaches go above and beyond to ensure safety of their athletes. The programming varies so you cannot get bored but you will get stronger/fitter/better by walking in the door and doing what they say. The gym itself is outstanding: the equipment is well maintained and the space is the cleanest gym I've ever worked out in considering how many people cycle through there everyday. The owners cultivate a community environment that makes you want to show up. Love this place, miss it all the time! Wish I could have cloned everything about it to take with me across the country.

Fantastic experience: This gym is outstanding. I've got a lot of work to do in rebuilding my body strength and ability from a lifetime of injury and misuse. The folks at PXM are compassionate and motivating. During the Illinois shelter-in-place order due to Covid-19, PXM found creative ways for keeping their workouts accessible. Between Zoom classes, the apps SugarWOD and TrueCoach, and personal calls and texts, they provided above and beyond care to ensure their clients (and me) were healthy - physically and mentally. During the phased reopening of businesses, they take safety and health seriously. Come with a mask! The gym attracts some of the most vibrant and caring people I know. I am proud to be a member.

Fantastic experience: Best coaches and great programming:))

Fantastic experience: I train privately with Lamont for the last two years. He has provided and continues to provide outstanding support and encouragement in our training together. His knowledge of sports and fitness has helped me grow as individual and athlete. The amount of improvement I have noticed in my physical strength is more than I could ask for. The place is also one of the cleanest gyms I have ever been in! Very friendly community at PXM.

Fantastic experience: I worked out with these guys my last 2.5 years of living in Chicago and it was one of the best things I had decided to do! They not only whipped me into shape but they also became friends. A true gym family I'm still hopping on to virtual workouts even though I'm now living in England. If you want to get fit combined with a little sass, a lot of fun and make some great friends in the process, this is your place!

Fantastic experience: I've trained with Lamont for years, who is without question one of the best in the business. All of the coaches are committed to helping each athlete reach his/her personal fitness goals. The space is always impeccably clean, inviting, and motivating. I moved out of the area and still fight traffic to train here. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Being at Powered By Movement for more than a year has been amazing. Working on my fitness with them has helped me find an appreciation for fitness and they work 1:1 with you to make sure to get the movements. The Owners and Coaches are all phenomenal. Each of them are dedicated to their craft and working with each person individually to make sure they understand the movements and improve. I have seen some amazing results and I am lucky to be a part of an amazing community.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for years. This place is amazing! The facility is always clean, and there is always enough equipment for every class. The staff is also very polite and professional. Every workout offers a new challenge to help me reach my goals. Lamont is very encouraging and hands-on. Worth every penny !

Fantastic experience: Great owners. They are very knowledgeable. They do a great job of building a community. If your goal is to be healthier, and stronger, I recommend PXM.

Fantastic experience: Great trainers! Great workouts! Love all the options available to meet my needs. Even thru Covid they made options to still continue my workouts from home! Very recommend!

Fantastic experience: Personally Knowing Co-owner Lamont Lynn for well over 25 Years..He and His Team Spends Time Motivating Each and Every Client. Excellent Teaching and Training..World Class workouts. Very Organized and Clean Facilities. And the Equipment is The latest in Fitness.. I highly recommend PXM to Anyone anytime. They are the Standard in which all Gyms should go By. #SALUTE

Fantastic experience: Amazing owners, coaches, and community! Focused programming for all fitness levels with emphasis on safe technique. Best workouts around!

Fantastic experience: I was a member of PXM fitness for 10 months before leaving the city of Chicago for work. Everyone at PXM, from the coaches, the owners and the members were the most welcoming group of people I have come across. I was nervous to start CrossFit but from Day 1 it was clear that this gym was going to be a good fit for me! The programming is amazing, the gym is always clean, the owners and staff are always looking to get involved with community efforts. The coaches are really great at teaching correct form and working with each person to ensure the workout matches their abilities! I can’t say enough good things about this gym!

Fantastic experience: I am so happy to call PXM my workout family! All the coaches are very helpful and always ready to answer any question you may have. I have met some amazing people since the time I joined. The environment is like no other. Looking forward to working out once again and lifting some heavy weights.

Negative experience: I was playing frisbee at senn high school when this gym displaced my group and just went into our space without a warning. They didn’t offer an apology or even tell us that they “reserved” this space. We ended up having to leave due to them just randomly taking the space we were at first, plus the personal trainer was horribly rude.

Fantastic experience: Great community, great energy, great workouts!
