I have tried multiple different gyms before I tried sycamore CrossFit and always felt like I was missing something whether it was I wasn’t motivated to go or for someone to keep me accountable. A friend invited me to a class to try it out and I instantly fell in love instantly. The coaches work with you to find the right modifications and keep encouraging you thru the entire workout and cheering you on until you finish. This place is wonderful and I’m so grateful that I found my second home. More...

Very Impressed!! After nursing a broken shoulder and ab tear for a year I decided to take the 6 week challenge and SCF was the right choice. With the help of Chris B I was able to not only safely increase my strength but also to build u my self confidence. Chris was always there making sure making sure my form was correct as to not re-injure myself and took the time to help develop modifications as needed. If your looking for top notch trainers with extensive knowledge that are super down to earth and just some really great people then Sycamore CrossFit is the place. More...

I dropped in for a Saturday team wod. The coach and members were super friendly. High fives and encouragement all around. The wod was creative and effective . The coach was thorough explaining the workout and did a great warm up to prep for it. He also continued to instruct and coach after the work out started. Just an overall great box and i would totally drop in again! More...

Came here on a Saturday and the gym is super clean, members are friendly and introduced themselves, and the coach explained the workout and also continued to coach during the workout. So many gyms offer instruction before the workout and then you see the coach stand off to the side once the clock starts. The guys here will actually move around and correct things as you go. Would definitely join if I lived up there! More...

Love this place! My 12 year old son and I take the classes together. He wanted conditioning for Hockey that was "outside of Hockey" and I just want to be able to keep up with him and sometimes still win lol Everyone has been so awesome to us, from the coaches to everyone working out alongside of us. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable but also super approachable. The whole atmosphere here is a family from Day 1 and that really removes the intimidation feeling you can get starting something new. We have been here a month so far and just the mental confidence I see in my son and how it transfers into his everyday is worth every penny, not to mention the increase in endurance, physical strength and mobility for both of us! To leave a place after completing a workout you normally would have looked at and thought "No way I can do that" is a pretty sweet feeling, and to have my son say he can't wait to go back is a total bonus. :) More...

My family was in town for a quick weekend trip during the Open, so I knew I needed to find a place to knock out 19.4. It was my first open and first time ever dropping in somewhere so I was super nervous. Carl was great and patient in answering my million questions prior to ever setting foot there, and everyone was very welcoming. It was an awesome atmosphere and I will definitely be back if in the area! More...

I started CrossFit back in 2011. I am NOT a fit athlete, and have participated in CrossFit while overweight, obese, and morbidly obese. I've lived in three states and been a member of four different CrossFit gyms. The sport is completely scalable, and while I was happy with my other memberships, I had no idea what truly outstanding coaching looked like until now. I always felt like a burden, needing to seek out extra help from coaches because I had to scale EVERYTHING down to a movement I could safely perform. It got to where I would avoid workouts because I knew I'd have to scale everything and I felt like I was taking too much time from a coach. At Sycamore CrossFit, the different options to scale movements are performed as a part of the warm-up by the entire group. EVERYBODY scales workouts, and the coaches actively help all of these people! The coaches are above and beyond phenomenal, and the members are just stellar. There are people of all ages working out together; it's exciting to watch everyone continuously improve and succeed at amazing feats! Mentally and physically, I don't think I've felt better in my entire life, and I owe it all to my newfound Happy Place. If you need to improve your mental or physical health, give this place a try (no matter what your age or level of athletic ability!). You will NOT regret it. ❤️? More...

As a long-time member of Sycamore Crossfit, I find the coaches are knowledgeable and encouraging. Everyone here is friendly (both the staff and the members! )- they encourage you to compete with yourself and to push yourself to new limits. It's not about being the strongest, but about bettering yourself and meeting your individual goals. Having attended Sycamore Crossfit for several years, I am still PR'ing both lifts and cardio-based workouts on a regular basis.There is a strong feeling of comradery between the members and coaches, and this is a drama free environment that is always welcoming to all.

If you're thinking about trying a new gym and you're tired of the boring globo-gym setup I cannot recommend this place enough. The coaches are amazing people who care about what they do. The workouts are able to be tailored to your personal needs. The results are real. There is a reason why people who do CrossFit can't shut up about it; you feel good mentally, physically, and you open up your life to a ton of new friends. 10/10 gym. More...

This is more than a gym, or a close knit community that turns into a second family. The coaches are highly trained and are skilled to help anyone at any skill level. I am someone that you would not typically see at a CrossFit gym but I’m able to do it thanks to the amazing coaches and the motivation from the members of the gym. I highly recommend this gym!

Sycamore CrossFit owner Carl and the other coach’s have created a amazing environment and program. This gym is more than a gym it’s a motivating encouraging family. They have changed my life for the absolute best. The coach’s and other athletes are always the best. No matter your level of skill this gym is for you. They will scale everything to your ability and never make you feel bad for scaling back, they will motivate you to improve and to push yourself to places you didn’t think were possible. The nutrition program has improved my health in ways I didn’t think were possible. If you are ready for a change and a place to feel like family and supported this is the CrossFit box for you. Ignore what a random google search says about CrossFit go in for a no sweat meeting and see what it’s all about. More...

I’ve been a member at this gym for a little over a year, and have been so thrilled for taking the leap and deciding to try Crossfit. I knew I needed something in a group setting under direction of a coach, something challenging, and something that never gets boring. If you’re looking for those things, too, I highly recommend Sycamore CrossFit. The staff and other members are so helpful and welcoming, and the coaches are very attentive and knowledgeable. Definitely give this place a try, you won’t regret it! More...

Sycamore CrossFit has given me the opportunity to express my athleticism while constantly being challenged. I've been a part of the nutrition program to gain muscle mass and love the personalize attention I receive during specialty programs and 1-on-1 training to continue working on gymnastic skills and injury prevention after my ACL replacement in 2012. Coach Eric always goes above and beyond to help me learn how to achieve my potential. Thank you. More...

You will get results here. I have had memberships at other gyms, but I had no clue what I was doing. Unlike the strip mall gyms where I was clueless on what to do, the coaches here tell you what to do. I thought it would be intimidating - not true - everyone is very welcoming. I thought I needed to get in shape before starting crossfit - not true. The coaches will modify the workouts to your ability. If you are already a pretty good athlete they will help you get to that next level. Just show up - you will see results. More...

I have finally found a fitness program that keeps me interested, challenged, and continually progressing. I love that all I have to do is show up because Coach Carl has already done the programming. My job is just to do the work. Through that work, I've learned my body and mind are capable of so much more than I ever would have expected. My fellow CrossFitters keep me motivated and are incredibly encouraging. It can be a bit intimidating when you walk in, but I've never been to a gym where people come up to me to introduce themselves--that's standard at Sycamore CrossFit. Outstanding people, knowledgeable coaches, and a ridiculous amount of fun! More...

The coaches are awesome! They take the time to get to know you and your needs and your goals. That way they can help you reach those goals and make the workouts exactly what you need. The workouts push you to do things at a level you never imagined but in a way that is possible. The atmosphere is one of energy, excitement, and encouragement. I have never seen a group of people who take the time once they are done with their workout to encourage the ones still finishing theirs. More...

Long story short!!!! I moved away from the Dekalb/Sycamore area 6 years ago to Virginia. I started doing crossfit just under a year ago while falling in love with the challenges and dedication this sport provides. Coming back home for a two week visit I wanted to continue my challenges and dedication so I reached out to Carl. I came into the Box, and just like that, I felt like I was home again. Going to crossfit sycamore for only 2 weeks, makes me want to move back home. The gym atmosphere was, kind, friendly, experienced, knowledgeable, clean, fun, challenging, patient with new clients, helpful, vibrant, unforgettable,stellar, thought provoking, proactive, notable, iconic, impeccable, insightful, inspiring, kick-ass, flawless, classy, epic and astounding!!!!!!!! Definitely join this BOX. You will not regret it. A warm heartfelt thank you to Carl for letting me join the crossfit sycamore family and showing me proper form and Erik for being an awesome coach.
