5106 N Harlem Ave, Harwood Heights“A huge shoutout to the trainers at Strength SPT, specifically Rob!
I recently started training with Rob and he’s been absolutely great! He’s very approachable, friendly and knowledgeable. I like how he explains each workout and helps me understand the benefits of each exercise. He holds me accountable and takes the time to explain the right nutrition I should be eating to ensure my muscles recover quickly.
So far, I'm very happy with my progress. Rob motivates and pushes me to limits I didn’t think I could achieve. I’m excited and can’t wait to see how my body evolves!
If you’re looking for a new workout challenge you must check out Strength SPT! You won’t be disappointed! The studio offers state of the art equipment and it’s clean!“

2731 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago“I had a wonderful experience with Lauren at In-Motion Physical Therapy during my several sessions! I came in with significant Achilles pain associated with daily running, which seemed to be caused by both Haglund's Deformity and heel bursitis. I was unable to run, which has been my primary form of exercise for almost 15 years (I was a collegiate athlete). I had waiting for a long time (~ 3 months) trying to do various stretches myself before I finally decided to come in for physical therapy treatment. I'm really glad I did!
Lauren took a gradual approach in her recommendations for both exercises and for rehabilitation. We started out with exercises to reduce the pain and then gradually moved toward strengthening. We also addressed my cadence and neuromuscular coordination. Addressing the issue from multiple angles really helped me get back out on the road quickly, not just without pain but as a stronger runner as well. The best aspects of my treatment were the holistic approach as well as the fact that Lauren tailored the regimen to fit my needs and body.
I am now continuing to do my exercises and back to a regular running schedule! I can confidently say that In-Motion Physical Therapy is the best physical therapy in Lincoln Park, if not Chicago at large!“

Feast is the gold standard.“

1847 Oak St, Northfield“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.“

343 W Erie St #100, Chicago“I am so happy I chose Lift River North. There's always tons of parking and the facilities are great. The staff is terrific, everyone knows my name and it's just a fun and friendly environment overall. My trainer, Ali is the best. Highly recommend. She knows her stuff and continually adapts the work outs so that it never gets old. My sessions are 45 min and I always get a great work out. I've increased my strength considerably in a short amount of time because of the plans she puts together for me. HIGHLY recommend. :)“
“I've been training with Sarah at DMSFit for over five years (yes, this review is long overdue!), and I can't recommend her, and the entire team, enough! From day one, Sarah has helped me gain and maintain confidence in both my strength and my appearance. She meets me exactly where I'm at in every session. If I’m tired, she eases me in until I’m ready to push harder. If my shoulder is acting up, she’ll massage it until I can lift comfortably. And on the days when my motivation is low, she reminds me why showing up matters.
As much as I love Sarah and the DMSFit team, there are still days when working out feels like the last thing I want to do, but every time I push through, I leave feeling 100x better. If you’re looking for a supportive, knowledgeable, and encouraging trainer, look no further than Sarah and the team at DMSFit!“
“Bret & Jason are worth every dime! Professional. Logical. Education focused and Motivation experts !!
My husband & I are clients for personal training. I work with Bret. Jason works with my hubs. I love their Live Better philosophy and their infectious spirit. Doing our best to integrate “Best Day Ever” into our lifestyle moving forward. Their programs influence physical, spiritual, emotional, and social MINDFULNESS. So important!! Next Step - to book the next Live Better retreat!
Highly recommend: Personal training. The collective. Their coaching. All programs. Fantastic people! Looking forward to what’s next!
Best. Day. Ever.“
“I first started going to Wattage to rehab a shoulder dislocation, the process of which was so effective that now I couldn’t tell you which shoulder I injured. Alongside that swift recovery process, I underwent muscle coordination training to prevent future injuries, and have since moved on to practical strength training. Because of the dedicated programming and care I’ve received from Kelsie at Wattage, I’ve become a stronger and more injury resistant athlete, allowing me to pursue more physical endeavors and goals than I previously believed possible for myself. As for the location itself, the staff is incredibly friendly, the equipment is high quality and clean, and the amenities are plentiful. I cannot recommend this place enough!“

1747 N Elston Ave, Chicago“I joined edge 2 years ago, I wanted to start a healthier life style which meant taking a chance on myself. the minute I walked into edge I felt so welcomed and I'm one who doesnt like to try new places because I get intimidated fast. not the case here, since joining I have made long lasting friendships and have discovered a new side I didn't know I had. Not only did I ran my first 50k but now I'm training for my first 70.3 triathlon. Everyone is so Inspiring that it's hard not wanting to try it yourself. I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for edge and I am so thankful for everyone. If you ever questioned stepping inside let me tell you this is your sign because you will not regret it.“

4536 N Clark St, Chicago“Working with Mike was proof that training smarter really pays off. As a surfer living in Chicago (who likes to surf the heavy stuff), I don’t get in the water as often as I did when I lived in California. Although the workouts didn’t seem terribly difficult or complex on the surface, the first trip I took, I was able to surf 5 hrs a day for a week straight at one of the more challenging breaks I travel to (fast currents, big beach break barrels) without even breaking a sweat. Even when I surfed 5 times a week, I couldn’t do that. Thanks again y’all!“

1725 Chestnut Ave, Glenview“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.“

Grateful to be working with him and highly recommend it to anyone looking to push themselves to the next level!“
