“I've been going to Movement Republic for 4 years. Besides having a clean space with a great community, the programming and coaching is what really keeps me coming back. The owners plan out the workouts weeks in advance so that each day's programming has a purpose. Monthly social events and field trips are also a great way to build a real community and bond with fellow athletes. MR is the best part of my day.”

“I can't recommend Movement Republic enough, whether you're just starting out on your CrossFit journey, or you're a seasoned athlete looking for a new gym. Amazing coaching and programming and a PHENOMENAL community of athletes of all levels supporting and encouraging each other every day.”

-Elle H.

“Couldn't recommend this place more enthusiastically! I'm new to CrossFit and can't think of a single complaint to make about the facility, the coaches, the athletes, the programming...everything has been spot on. As a beginner, I was a little nervous about entering into the world of CrossFit, but somehow I've come away feeling both extremely comfortable and also challenged to improve on a daily basis.”

-Travis S.

“I never thought I would like CrossFit, but I love MR. John and Sarah lead a great community. They are kind, enthusiastic, deeply knowledgeable, and committed to moving every athlete forward. I always feel welcome here, even when I've been gone, even when I'm the only one still finishing burpees.”

-Sarah N.

“I moved to Chicago and needed to a find a new gym to call home. Leaving behind a supportive gym community in Minnesota was tough, but it has been easier since starting at Movement Republic. It is an incredibly welcoming and inclusive environment that has made me feel welcome in a new city and home.”

-Jake S.

“I have been at Movement for about a year and I love it! They are focused on good technique and the programming is top notch. I couldn't ask for a better gym.”

-Liz K.

“I was so nervous about starting CrossFit but the coaches and members were so friendly and encouraging that I couldn't wait to go back. I didn't even need the full trial period, I signed up after day two. Working out at MR is the best part of my day!”

-Ariel B.

“I dropped in here, visiting for a week. I couldn’t have been more pleased, more welcomed, or more comfortable with my experience at Movement Republic. They have amazing programming, an incredible, knowledgeable coaching staff, and an even more awesome community feeling. I felt more like family than just a drop-in from out of state. If I ever had a home away from home gym, this would be my first choice. Thank you, Sarah and MR, for being so outstanding. You guys are what CrossFit is all about.”

-Kyle B.

“I dropped in with a friend on a quick trip to Chicago. The gym was very welcoming, clean, and had great programming. The coach/owner we worked with was awesome. I would definitely go back if I find myself in the area again.”
