Patch Readers Choose CrossFit as Joliet's Best Gym
We asked readers to vote, and they overwhelmingly chose the Essington Road fitness center as the best in the city.
If you're in the market for a new gym or fitness center and want a recommendation, the readers of Joliet Patch might be a good group to ask.
We did just that and their choice -- with 46 percent of the 1,929 ballots cast -- was overwhelming: CrossFit Joliet at 1736 Essington Road.
It topped the next closest rivals by more than 20 percentage points. Garnering the second and third highest number of votes was Joliet Park District's Inwood Athletic Center and 5-Star Fitness, which received 25 percent and 23 percent of the vote respectively.
Also-rans include Planet Fitness and Charter Fitness, with 2 percent each, and Zip Fitness and the YMCA, with 1 percent each.
Congratulations to CrossFit, and watch for our next poll on the best veterinarian in town, nominations for which will be solicited next week.
