I’ve been to many gyms over the years, and Five Alarm is by far my favorite! The space is always clean and well-maintained. The owners and coaches genuinely care and are very involved. All the members are welcoming, making it easy to feel comfortable from day one. The workouts are fun but still challenging. Over the years, I’ve dealt with a couple injuries, and the coaches created individualized workouts that helped me recover while still allowing me to participate in class. It’s a great gym!

I remember in the first couple times coming to Five Alarm, I was told to just show up for myself and they’d take care of the rest. Five Alarm is the VERY best spot to build your strength, grow your endurance and flexibility, recover and better yet…the atmosphere truly feels like family. Everyone is highly encouraging and helps push you towards goals to better yourself. I was dealing with allergies and since working out here, my resting heart rate has dropped significantly, I have gained strength and confidence in the gym, and every time I work out it feels like my immune system is more balanced. I’m exceedingly grateful for Five Alarm’s support in my journey and differentiating workouts to meet my personal needs. There is NO better spot in Bloomington/Normal for this kind of positive, personalized approach!

Hands down the best gym in town! I’ve been going to Five Alarm for almost 9 years. Not only have some of my best friendships come from the gym, but I’ve also been continually challenged by the workouts. I’ve been in several different stages of life while I’ve been a member, and the coaches have been top notch through it all (competitive athlete, just for fitness, pregnancy, & postpartum). Five Alarm is family-friendly and the members and staff will make you feel welcome and right at home from day 1!

The coaches are knowledgeable and happy to help scale the workout if necessary. The workouts are challenging, change daily and push me to be better.

This update is for those of you that read concise reviews. Five Alarm is an Excellent gym! with Exceptional coaches! The best community ever! Fun! Life changing! And So much more! Come in and try it out and decide for yourself.For those of you that like detail read my earlier review ….Five Alarm is an incredible community of people! My husband talked me into trying crossfit out with him when I was in my 40's. I was recovering from a major health set back and wanted something to improve my stamina and help me get in shape. I was intimidated by what I had heard about crossfit, but begrudgingly agreed to check it out. I can honestly say that it was one of best decisions I have ever made. At Five Alarm I found so much more than a gym. I have never experienced such a supportive group of people, who genuinely care about each person that walks in the door. I'm in my late 50s now and I have learned to modify what I can do, but that's the beauty of crossfit and the coaching at Five Alarm. You are part of great group of people working out together and yet your workout is individually tailored to your needs, abilities and goals. If you are looking for a great way to improve your physical and mental health, and are interested in gaining so much more, I encourage you to check out Five Alarm.

Hands down the best gym I’ve ever joined! The classes are challenging, fun, and never the same twice — every workout leaves me feeling stronger and more capable. What sets Five Alarm apart is having an actual coach leading every single class: they know your name, watch your form, scale when needed, and push you exactly the right amount. The community is welcoming, the energy is 🔥, and the results speak for themselves. If you want real coaching and real progress, this is the place. Highly recommend!

I've been a member of Five Alarm for 10 years, and I can’t say enough good things about this gym. From the moment you walk in, you can feel that it’s more than just a place to work out—it’s a community. The staff genuinely cares about each member and takes the time to learn your goals, your limits, and what motivates you. They’re always willing to work with you, whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or pushing toward new goals.

I started CrossFit about 15 years ago, and I've been going to Five Alarm for about 8. It's a great gym with great coaches and fellow CrossFitters.

I joined Five Alarm Fitness in April 2025 to reboot my health and fitness journey after having a total hip replacement. The coaches and people have made it a wonderful experience to be a part of this gym. I can’t thank them enough for giving me the support and encouragement in a time when I needed it the most.
