We’re kicking off 2025 full of gratitude: Gratitude for each and every one of you who make our Community Strong and gratitude for 14 years in business. That’s right – this month is our 14th birthday! We were the second CrossFit gym in Chicago when we opened our doors in 2011 and this incredible community has changed our lives. Stay tuned for details on our celebration.
As you enter the gym this week, grab your card hanging on the wall. Our coaches wrote thank-you notes to each of you. :)
Legacy Athletes celebrating 5+ years at Defined: Your special gear will be available for pick-up by mid-January. We’ll send you an email when it’s ready!
Our next two cycles will focus on skill and conditioning prep ahead of the CrossFit 2025 Open. Each year, athletes all over the world take part in this three-week/three workout event. The most elite performers ultimately qualify for the CrossFit Games. But for the rest of us, it’s an opportunity to check in on our fitness, prove to ourselves we can do hard things, and cheer each other on in a fun, supportive environment.
At Defined, we call it “Defined Intramurals” and throw down at “Friday Night Lights.”
Our in-house physical therapist, Elvis Sako, now accepts insurance! If you have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) or Cigna, you can now process your visits with Elvis through your provider, with or without a doctor’s referral! Elvis still accepts cash payments as well. He’ll hold office hours in our space on Wednesdays and Saturday.
You can schedule an appointment with Elvis via email: elvissako@foundationptchi.com.
A big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in our Defined Bingo Night and clothing drive collecting new or gently used clothing items in support of Cradles to Crayons, a local non-profit led by our very own Kevin Mork. We raised more than $2,000 and collected more than three bins of items!
