Archetype CrossFit

Archetype CrossFit is a Chicago gym focused on the core disciplines of CrossFit: strength training, technical skill development, and high-intensity conditioning. Its classes are designed to build ability progressively, with sessions that may include major lifts such as squats, snatches, and cleans, as well as foundational gymnastic and bodyweight movements like pull-ups, handstand pushups, and ring dips. The gym emphasizes coaching, mechanics, and consistency, offering new athletes an initial meeting with a coach to review goals and fundamental movements. The training environment is positioned as both supportive and demanding, with drop-ins available for experienced CrossFit athletes who have at least three months of experience and are active members of an affiliate.
