“I have been personal training with Cade at Chicago Sports Institute for the past 2 years to target hormonal weight change, strength training and overall health. CSI takes the guesswork out of how to reduce body fat and build muscle. After years of trying different group classes, my body fat percentage decreased quickly with CSI due to their comprehensive approach including an individualized training plan, nutrition coaching and high tech recovery facility. Cade and the whole team at CSI is supportive, motivating and experienced with helping their client’s reach their health and athletic goals. As a working mom in my 40’s, getting lean and toned to tackle my next decade is now a reality and not just an unchecked goal.“

“I recently changed gyms and I cannot be more impressed with how Burn Bootcamp welcomed me. The workouts are challenging and vary daily and the community supports everyone trying to excel to new levels. See you all tomorrow!

“Love the Exercise Coach and it's method. There is no hiding behind the results as everything is measured on the machines you use so you can see your results from one session to the next. Having that feedback while lifting/pushing/pulling the weights is extremely motivating. Also the technology used on the machines allows you to just inch up the weights each time vs. in a gym where many times you need to move in increments of 5lbs which can be too big of a jump so you never can increase the weights you are using. With the Excercise Coach machines you can slowly increase the weight and continue to get stronger.
The coaches are also excellent and keep you motivated and in good form.“

“Joining Game Changing Performance (GCP) in June 2023 was one of the best decisions best decisions I have ever made. Over the initial 12-week program, I lost 30lbs. This has truly been life-changing for me. I have a ton more energy, sleep better, eat better, and just have a more positive outlook in general.Nate, Trevor, and the team at GCP deliver on providing the information, coaching, workouts, motivation, and accountability necessary to achieve your goals – if you follow the program. They have created an amazing culture at the gym that welcomes everyone and is not intimidating. I look forward to going to workouts each week. The workouts are challenging and rewarding at the same time.I highly recommend GCP to anyone looking to lose weight or improve their overall fitness. I couldn’t imagine going to any other gym. Thanks so much GCP!“

“Greg is amazing! . Patient, knowledgeable and never boring!!! Definitely makes a difference in how you can feel.“

“Really creative and motivating drills! Great experience training our high school tennis player. Mindee and staff really care. Thank you Mindee.“

“I cannot say enough positive things about WIN athletic club. For starters, the owners Erika & Kris are the kindest most caring accommodating people I’ve ever met. I’ve gone to a lot of gyms over the years & I’ve never been to one where the owners remember everyone’s names and greet us every time! As a matter of fact, I can’t recall a single gym where I even met the business owners ?‍♀️

It truly feels like a tight loving family community, and the social aspect of the group classes is really nice. Especially since I didn’t know many people in the area when I moved here, I felt welcomed immediately. The 1 person I did already know from the area when I first moved to the north shore, also loves WIN athletic club and more specifically the Gruner’s. Such a fun coincidence.

I started working out here after taking a long hiatus from the gym (pregnancy + 1st time mom!). I was extremely weak & slow & uncoordinated with little to no core strength and the trainers never made me feel bad about not being as in shape as the other people in the class. Every coach whose class I took offered appropriate modifications, encouragement to stick with it, and just a really positive vibe. I have always loved HIIT classes and I appreciate the variety and different format each of the instructors bring to their classes.

Now after a few months of coming I am in better shape, I’ve lost more of my baby weight and starting to get more muscle definition, I feel more energy, and I can actually keep up with the classes! I’m excited to keep getting stronger. I feel my confidence is higher since having a baby and not feeling like myself in my own skin for a long time postpartum.

The last thing I should mention is the kids club. The child care is top notch. My son never wants to leave when we come here! On days I don’t work out, he’ll be eating breakfast and tells me he wants to go to the gym today! The staff is so loving and so good with him, it puts my mind at ease to know he is having fun playing while I take some time for myself to workout and shower/get ready for work.

If you are looking for a good workout, with childcare you can trust, and a gym that feels more like your neighborhood “Cheers” bar (but a lot healthier ?) look no further, this is the spot for you.“

“As a long time cardio addict looking to gain more strength, I found Johnny through a friend’s strong recommendation. Over the past several months, he has taught me how to use my body more effectively, and through the work we’ve done together, I find myself feeling better and stronger everyday. Grateful to be working with him and highly recommend it to anyone looking to push themselves to the next level!“

“After have my babies and not working out for 9 years I knew it was time. I have been working with Joe for nearly a year now and couldn’t be happier! He genuinely cares about your health and goals; customize the workout that fits you and knowledgeable about food/diet! He works with you to achieve what you are looking for in a healthy way. I couldn’t ask for a better trainer than Joe!!“

“Love working with Dave. He mixes things up to keep the workouts interesting. Convenient location.“

“Although Coach T and Training Ground Athletic came very highly recommended, the idea of joining a gym and having a personal trainer couldn't have been further out of my comfort zone. But from our first phone conversation, I knew she understood who I was and what I needed, which gave me the confidence to take the first steps to becoming stronger and aging differently. Most amazing is the way Coach T takes such good care of us, inside and outside of the gym. She motivates clients to do more than they believe they can by planning detailed sessions each week, emailing information about nutrition and lifestyle and checking in on our health and welol-being. I feel truly fortunate to have found such a remarkable coach and person.“

“I joined Orangetheory Fitness a couple weeks ago and I already am feeling so much better about myself in terms of energy levels, physique, and overall mood.I am now excited to get up and get my workout in, and I am excited to see the results and progress I make with this membership.“

“The coaches challenge and encourage me within a safe intensity range for my body and objectives. The equipment is varied and constantly updated with new means of exercising and measuring achievements. I've been enjoying their coaching for over 15 years and feel so much more toned, with greater strength and stamina.“

“I been with the doc for a little over a year now. I initially came in with lower back problems and then some shoulder problems as well. The good doctor provides specific 'workouts' to help your body improve itself. He has a huge pool of knowledge that will get you back in the gym pain free in no time. I personally started seeing improvements after a session or two. I will likely do these exercises forever. I would recommend this establishment to anyone living in the area. The doc has never not answered a question I threw at him“

“I've been lifting weights here for almost 20 years, and it's one of the smartest things I've ever done! It's a fundamental part of my live long and prosper plan!“

“Every employee I've come in contact with is so nice. Heavy on group classes, but still have all the necessary equipment for workouts on your own. Very clean and all equipment is brand new!“

“Amazing gym, great rink, wonderful meeting Muhammad Ali's first daughter Maryum!“

“I’ve been a regular to Spear for nearly 3 years and it has been one of the healthiest decisions I’ve personally ever made. My body feels (mostly) terrific, but I’ve also learned a plethora of additional physical, dietary, and lifestyle changes which have been extremely beneficial. The trainers are highly educated and capable of exceeding the personal goals of a younger athlete, working adult, or even more “veteran” clientele. I highly recommend Spear.“

“Such a welcoming space, with intense fitness integrity! I didn’t believe a gym up north could match the experience I was receiving downtown, but I was wrong.“

“Studio Elevate Fit- Boutique class fitness you might find in an exclusive gym or spa. I attended Sarah’s barre class and the attention to physical alignment was superb. Sarah’s cues were on the mark, and the sequence of movements were designed for maximum effect. I’ve been attending classes of all kinds for decades, and I’ve taught and trained-I’m only saying this to underline how impressive this studio is to me. Highly recommend!“

“I highly recommend and had incredible results at Balanced Fitness. Gary’s personal training has helped me transform in my fitness journey. Gary’s expertise, dedication, and positive approach are what make the difference. He tailored each workout to my needs, pushing me to achieve incredible results. His knowledge, motivation, and support are exceptional. His enthusiasm and genuine care for my well-being made every session enjoyable, and I always left feeling energized and empowered.“

“Activation Fitness has been life changing for me! I have been dealing with headaches for years that would drag on for days. I would use heat, ice, massage, stretch, you name it and relief was only temporary. I just accepted that every month, I would just deal with 3 day headache, not fun. Then, I happened to be talking to a client at work one day and they spoke so highly of how muscle activation helped them with their hip issue when all else had failed them. I was intrigued because it sounded so different from everything I've tried in the past, so I gave it a try. I consulted with Steve over the phone and based on my history he thought muscle activation could work. We started weekly sessions for 6 weeks, but already half way through, I noticed I didn't have the neck and shoulder aches and pains I typically had that would turn into an awful headache for days. Here I am 7 months later and no relentless headaches! It's been a game changer for me. I am continuing my sessions every other week now with success and thrilled how I feel. Everyone needs MAT in their life!“

“I wish I had found GhFitlab earlier than I did. Due to MS, my muscles were getting stiff and I started to lose feeling and significant movement in my left leg. Through an individualized program created by Marcin that focuses on different muscle groups, I have regained feeling and strength on my left side. My mobility and balance has also improved. Also during my journey, I had rotator cuff surgery. Marcin was in charge of my rehab and it was seamless. I was back in their facility within two weeks to keep the rest of my muscles moving and then eventually and slowly working on the shoulder.I am stronger and more energetic today because of the GhFitlab program.“

“Lauren was awesome. She listens and does a good job of finding knots I didn’t even know I had. Highly recommend the 80 minute full body massage with her. Relaxing and clean environment as well.“
