PHOTOS: New Gym Opens in Burr Ridge

CrossFit Burr Ridge, an exercise facility that emphasizes group fitness, opened on Madison Street Monday night. And this isn't your typical gym. You'll see few cardio machines in the one room-facility on Madison Street.

"It's been a big change in the fitness culture. We're going away from a global gym. [The CrossFit community ] is a community that supports each other," said Matt Markowski, CrossFit co-owner.

The gym currently has eight members, but that's OK with Markowski.

"We're in a box. We know how big we're going to get and personally know our clientele. I know who's going to be here Monday, and if they're not there Tuesday, I'm going to call," said Markowski.

We'll have more on this story later, but for now, meet the people behind CrossFit Burr Ridge, and check out this sneak preview of the facility at 7928 South Madison Street.
