Trainers near Algonquin

“I am a professional athlete and have been doing yoga on and off for years. Mainly out of state but have now lived in Illinois the last 5-6 years and I am so happy to have came across Melt Pilates & Hot Yoga! My first class was with Agnes. Her energy and verbal cueing are just tips of the iceberg when talking about her wonderful class. Iv taken other classes and have seen other instructors at various locations but Agnes’s class sits on top amongst them all. You feel her love and passion for yoga simply by listening to her speak and guiding you through her class. In the hour or hour and 15 minutes you have with her, she will not only take your body on a challenging and unique journey but also the ability to inspire your yogi soul! After taking my first class with her, she is the only instructor I prefer to take classes with and when I am out of town and take a yoga class elsewhere, I leave immediately thinking “it wasn’t like Agnes’s class”. It is hard to put into words the feeling I have when taking one of her classes, she is able to push you safely to limits you didn’t think you could reach, poses you were maybe not able to accomplish before and allows you to connect to your body in a way you have not done before. Leaving her class makes you a different person in the best way possible and makes you eager for more!“

“I joined mainly for the Power Plate but ended up really liking the gym. Nice gym with lots to offer however I wish they were open later.“

“As a newly retired teacher I was looking for a trainer and a gym that would be convenient, affordable, and personal. EmpowerU Fitness fit the bill and more. David has a unique and personable approach to helping his clients improve their fitness. He is completely professional and dedicated to each person. Showing up for classes was exciting once I realized I would not be judged by other clients for my lack of fitness. Each woman who came in was friendly, supportive, and happy to work out. They came in different shapes and ages from young 20s to early 70s.David runs his classes in a way that makes each client feel challenged and proud of their efforts. I highly recommend EmpowerU Fitness. Do yourself a favor and try a class! You deserve a five star fitness regimen at affordable prices!“

“Fantastic place if you want to reach your full physical potential!I had problems with knee and hip pain which was limiting my movements greatly around the house. I started having knee pain over ten years ago and other pt facilities made me worse and personal trainers couldn't get me very far. I was on a constant mission trying to avoid pain by eating super healthy and needing to limit activity or else I would have constant pain. I am finally doing all the activities I always wanted again like running, rollerblading and cleaning everything around the house. They went above and beyond to also clear up some shoulder and neck pain too which was limiting my ability to lift things and relax comfortably. I am still finishing up some physical therapy but couldn't be happier about the progress. I am now fully functional (sometimes I have no pain!!!) and only getting stronger and more capable.I wanted to put on a good word about the owner who has such a wonderful personality. Such a great person and happy vibes. She helped me get back into running and I am so grateful. I hope to continue with some health and wellness visits or their awesome running academy to continue/maintain my progress.If you are looking to have a baby I would highly recommend their four visit program to prevention issues during and after pregnancy. I worked with their pelvic floor specialist Maureen who is ABSOLUTELY amazing at helping you recover from having a baby. I had hip issues since having my first daughter which got much worse during my pregnancy with my second time. But not to fear! Maureen will guide you through recovery in a gentle and positive way. Her communication skills are superb.I highly recommend people seek out whole body massage in conjunction with any strength training. This place gives some targeted massage which is very useful. Some deep tissue quad massage also helped me. "Body in gear" in Palatine does great with any extra functional massage you may need.Love this place! If something isn't working out for some reason just let them know and they will adjust. ❤️“

“Highly recommend for players that are committed and would like to take their training to the next level. Coach William works with the players as a individual to meet their needs to perform. I recommend purchasing the package with the most sessions - definitely worth it.“

“Tony has helped me achieve breakthroughs in my health. When my body is balanced, everything in my life becomes more enjoyable. Because of the work Tony has done, I am able to focus more on my work and actually enjoy going thru my day more because my body feels healed and capable again. Tony is extremely professional about his work. He does an amazing job explaining why the body functions or reacts the way that it does and then proceeds to address the situation at hand. He uses muscle testing (which makes much more sense when experienced in person) to show the change of the body before and after treatment. Every session is filled with healing and I look forward to it every time“

“Since I started working out with Kathryn at the fit nut I have lost some weight, but more importantly I have strengthen my core, increased stamina and agility. The workouts work well with your experience level and stay interesting. I recommend trying the Fit Nut if your serious about your health and want to be challenged.“

“I take the ladies only Boot Camp taught by Latasha and she truly is one of the most inspiring and motivating women I’ve ever met! She always pushes me to be the best that I can and I’m so lucky to have a coach/friend like her!!“

“Burke Fitness, formerly Fitness Masters at this location is great studio for private work out sessions. I am a novice and I found the idea of gym trainers or even going to the gym intimidating. The studio has all the equipment needed to get in shape. I work with Sarah. The sessions are reasonably priced (another intimating part about working with a gym) and she provides diet plans and looks out for my overall health. I have a couple of metabolic issues and thought I'd be a difficult client to work with, but Sarah was already knowledgeable about what my disorders entailed and has catered to me like no other trainer would. I've never repeated a routine and she has hit muscle groups I never knew existed. I set a 3 month goal, but Sarah helped me accomplish it in 2; I now have new goals and wouldn't train anywhere else.“

“Great knowledgeable trainers, small groups that are cool and inclusive, one-on-one feedback. It's a really great gym.“

“Great experience so far! Reasonable cost, friendly trainers, and people who want to help get you back in shape and healthy again!“

“I have used numerous personal trainers over the years and Jaynie is the most knowledgeable, best by far. She walks the talk - swimmer, marathoner, cyclist, runner, all around fitness expert. She took me from not being able to swim one lap to doing a 1/2 marathon in 18 months. We have worked together for six years on all facets of training - core, weight training, weight loss..., swimming, running, cycling, cardio, stretching, golf training. There is no better training, coaching partner. I cannot recommend Jaynie enough regardless of where you are on your fitness journey.“

“Instructors are so patient with the students. They explain everything step by step. This results in success.“

“Friendly staff, clean facility, easy and plenty parking, right temperature for exercise.Exercise equipment comes with fan.“

“Rachel has excellent knowledge of each piece of equipment, she explains everything very well, she’s kind and considerate!“

“Sign up with jack he’s an awesome guy kept me laughing and walked me right through everything with ease I love it here already“

“This place is very good, but we are currently upset because they are changing the timings of the gym hours from 24 hrs to 10pm . Which is very inconvenient to lot of people who work and go to school and hit the gym late. Before making these changes they need to consider about the customers needs and need to reconsider their decisions. Lot of the people are v upset and planning to go to some other gym where they have longer hours. If they can at least consider closing at midnight that would be great. Hope they rethink about their decision.“
