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 recommend this place to everyone I know but realized I never have done a Google review. This is an amazing practice that focuses on 1:1 care. Thank you to Dana, Jen and Denise for so much support and care over the years!“

“I found EmpowerU Fitness by Googling gyms near me, and I’m so grateful I did. As someone with autism and ADHD, I often struggle with motivation, routine, and making healthy choices. This gym has completely changed that for me. It gives me the accountability I need to actually show up, and I’ve never felt more supported.

David and Jen are truly two of the most wonderful human beings on the planet. They’re patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in everyone who walks through the door. The atmosphere they’ve created is so positive, welcoming, and motivating that it feels less like a gym and more like a community.

Joining EmpowerU Fitness has helped my mental health, physical health, confidence, and overall happiness more than I can say. I’m stronger, clearer, and more consistent than I’ve ever been and I owe so much of that to this place and the people in it.

I’m genuinely so glad I joined this gym. I absolutely love this community and can’t imagine my life without it now.

If you’re looking for a place that truly lives up to its name, this is it. ??️‍♀️“

“Update: I wrote my review prior to reading the other reviews. I have to say that I am shocked by the couple of negative reviews regarding FOCUS and NISRA. (And no-we are not getting a kickback for a favorable review-that is ridiculous.) We were on a waitlist through NISRA for a while before a spot opened up for our son. We were bummed, but understood that both entities needed to ensure that it was properly staffed for the number of participants. We attend each week with our son, and as stated below, could not be happier with the inclusive mindset of FOCUS. I also want to note that the NISRA volunteers work hard to get everyone to participate. We have never seen anyone left out. They are well staffed and highly qualified. Participants all work at their own level, but if a child is not participating, it is not for lack of trying on either end. Not all kids enjoy all activities and perhaps the child did not want to participate. We have recently moved to this area and could not be more pleased with the organization, cooperation and communication from NISRA. Everyone is human and mistakes can happen, but both organizations would likely be very happy to hear concerns in a constructive way. If you are considering NISRA or FOCUS, I highly recommend!

We have a son with a diagnosis of Down Syndrome who takes karate at Focus Martial Arts through NISRA. We cannot say enough about this amazing program. The owners and the instructors are among the most inclusive and welcoming people I have ever met. They genuinely care about kids and their progress. They break down concepts and skills so that our son understands, but they have high expectations for his growth. Our son has made improvements in karate, behavior, focus and school because of their leadership. We are so grateful and highly recommend!“

“Place was very clean and workers were so nice. Morghan was especially helpful she took time away from cleaning to help me“

“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.“

“Tony is a true magician. Been dealing with a nagging injury for 2 years..I worked with Tony for 60 mins and I’m pain free. My bony after one session feels 30 years younger. I can honestly say he is the GOAT. ? a true legend!! Thank you Tony adns can’t wait to see you soon. One stop answer to everything fitness and health ?“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

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