“Tucked away in the rear of a Highland Park industrial building, you will find a hidden gem of a gym. V3 has something for everyone, from personal training to small group classes. We are three months in, and my wife and I are both addicted to "Barbell Bootcamp." Barbell Bootcamp is a workout of the day style class. perfected by V3's owner, Gregg Piper. Each day's workout is unique, and focuses on a different muscle group. Classes are offered at convenient times throughout the weekday (6am, noon, 6pm) and weekend (9am or 10am). The beauty of the small class format is the individual attention each participant receives from the trainer, critical for anyone working through limitations. The results speak for themselves. Our bodies are stronger and more defined than ever. But V3 also changed how we see food. Gregg set us up with personalized daily macronutrient goals. He didn't just put us on a diet, but rather set us on course to eat holistically for the rest of our lives. Together with consistent workouts, I lost 15 lbs and 4% body fat over six weeks. A BIG thank you to Gregg, Ricky, Dawn and the rest of the V3 family for making each workout so much fun!“
“Amazing answer for those who are not gym rats but want to stay strong… I have been going for 20 months and they helped me get in to the shape I want to be after 40 years of seeking solutions to stay fit. Can not recommend highly enough“
“I've been training weekly at MocaFit with Joe since 2022 and can tell you it's worth every penny. With Joe's guidance, I've seen tremendous progress. He's helped my strength, mobility, and recovery from chronic injuries. His approach to fitness is something for which every trainer should strive. 10/10 would recommend.“
“I was looking for a gym where I could relax and exercise without anyone judging me from the time I walked through the doors and Push Fitness is that gym. As soon as you walk in, everybody, including the clients welcomes you, encourages you to not give up on yourself, and gives great nutritional advice on losing body weight. Also, Push Fitness had a great 1 on 1 connection with their clients. Former clients come and go and decide to return to this gym to tone their bodies back into shape. If you want to lose weight and do not know where to go because gyms are intimidating, Push Fitness is your gym.“
“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.“
“Great class with Kris! Such a good mix of strength, flexibility and stabilization with just enough pace to really get your heart up and your sweat going. It’s hard for me to choose a favorite class but luckily because of the great schedule and availability I don’t have to. HIIT, Strongbox and FIT360 all at great times with great instructors. WIN is everything I could have asked for and the owners Kris and Erika are fantastic. Looking forward to seeing you all for years to come!“
“Outstanding service and guidance by Chris and other staff were very friendly. Entire studio had a welcoming feel! Grateful to have found this location!“
“Love working with Dave. He mixes things up to keep the workouts interesting. Convenient location.“
“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!“
“JP Wood Martial Arts is a fantastic place for both kids and adults who want to learn Teakwondo. Both Mr and Mrs Wood are great with the kids and love to joke around, but keep professional. They also teach discipline, integrity and focus. No one wants anyone to fail and the other students jump in the help when needed. We have told many friends/people about them and have made new friends as well. My boys have been here for over a year now and love coming. Higher belts/older age get to use sparring equipment which is a great time to watch. I highly recommend this place for anyone.“
“Excellent experience. Great coaches. Feel so much better since starting this a few years ago. It was a great decision and easy to stick to. Highly recommend.“
“I recently tried out the BURNBarre class here. It was my first group exercise experience and I absolutely LOVED it! Booking the class through the MindBody app was very easy. When I first arrived Sarah greeted me right away and helped me settle in. She gave me a quick tour and showed me where all the equipment was, and also gave me a rundown as to what the class format would look like. The space was clean, organized and inviting. Renee taught the class, and she had great energy! Modifications for exercises were welcomed and encouraged which I was so grateful for! I am basically starting from scratch and was nervous that I would not be able to keep up. Overall, I had a great experience and cannot wait for my next class. Great local spot!“
“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.“
“Johnny is a wonderful trainer. Really gets to know his clients and how to push them. Every session focuses on different areas and cardio is mixed in with strength yielding a complete workout.“
“mindee and her team are like no other. the attention and workout my daughter gets helps her in everyday life. it teaches multi disciplinary strength focus and leadership. agility hands down helps with her athletic endeavors! number one on north shore!“
“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!“
“Favorite place to workout! They will get you in shape quickly. You'll become addicted to their classes.“
“My brother, and my fiance, and I have been training with Joe for the past 4 months.We were looking for a trainer who wouldn’t blindly give us a generic list of exercises, but someone with a good understanding of physiology who could work around some of the back and wrist troubles my fiance was having, who’d be intentional about mobility, and checking for proper form. Joe’s background in biomechanics and excitement about all the particular questions we had was why we ultimately decided to work with him.In the time we’ve been training with Joe, we’ve found that his instructions have been very helpful, giving cues that help with muscle engagement, modifications for accommodate my fiance, coaching on nutrition, and also great encouragement to want to keep improving. Watching all three of us get stronger has been really satisfying.If you’re looking for a personal trainer who really cares about holistic health and someone who respects your goals/needs, we can’t recommend Joe enough!“
“Love working out at The Exercise Coach! Everyone is so knowledgeable and friendly. Been going for 7 months now and I feel stronger and more toned! The best part is that it’s only 20 minutes a couple times a week! Anyone can do something for 20 minutes except hold your breath! Would 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.“
“If you ask Edward about diet, he doesn’t just know about fitness, he also knows about the types of food that one needs to consume to help you lose weight and feel confident about oneself. It’s my first session of many, and it will not be the last. With anytime fitness, you not only join a gym, you join a community of likeminded individuals who cares about you and your wellbeing.“
“I’ve been working consistently with Julie for the past 2 years, and I consider her my fitness coach. We focus on MAT principles for muscle and joint health, and bone health for osteoporosis prevention. MAT with Julie and Charlie helped me through a neck issue, and a long-term knee issue - they’ve helped my daughter and husband as well. They genuinely care and want to help their clients, and it shows through their podcast messages and book Exercise For Life Method. They are a great team with awesome enthusiasm and motivation.“
“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!“
