Trainers near 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.“

“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!“

“I’m a “scaled athlete” and feast is a great fit for me. Many friendly, interesting people here. The facility is very well equipped, well maintained, spotless. This is not an accident - the entire staff is experienced, responsive, professional.

Feast is the gold standard.“

“The place stands out. It has a gym, swimming pool, palettes, a huge tennis court, and a spa. It is completely equipped for a workout. Huge dressing room and clean bathroom.
High-end place and quiet, has a computer area, and a coffee shop.“

“Best gym I've been to. Great trainers. Jonah is my trainer, and he is so knowledgeable and really makes the work out comfortable and fun. I feel stronger every time. I can't recommend him enough!“

“OMG this place is wonderful. Im 71 and I want more muscle tone and of course loss weight. No judgment here just positive energy from everybody. My trainer Brandon knows his stuff and he's tuff wont give me a brake. I'm glad I took the first step and went in there cuz nothing but positivity is going to come out of this. Please go you'll enjoy yourself. When I leave there I FEEL GREAT!!!!“

“Anytime Fitness Niles is the gym to go to. The gym is always clean, the machines are new and maintained and the staff is always friendly. It has everything you need, from cardio, to weights and group classes. The location is convenient and there is plenty of parking. Mike the owner has done and continues to do a phenomenal job, and truly cares about his members. I truly recommend checking out this gym, you won’t regret it!“

“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!

“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!“

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

“Josh is a great trainee who pushes you. He always makes sure you have correct form and is a great experience to work with.“

“Who knew that so much joy could be had while exercising!? This ensemble of trainers blend their expertise with their compassion to make the most fun & welcoming community. Nicole’s 1:1 and Group Strength Training classes have enhanced my well-being tremendously. I love this place and its people!“

“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!“

“Love WC. Staff and members are outstanding, very welcoming and helpful. Inspiring place to work out. Comfortable for all levels of strength conditioning.“

“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!“

“Great place to work out ; clean facilities and super friendly staff . I would say personally it needs more smith machines because only having one for the entire gym can be inconvenient“

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

“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!!“

“I am so happy with my membership at this location! The staff keeps the women's locker room very clean, the hours are convenient even though it is not open 24 hours, and I feel safe when I am working out. The black card membership is worth it! Being able to use the water massage chairs plus the standard massage chairs after a long workout or just when I need an extra moment of relaxation for my sore muscles is amazing. Not having to worry about paying for usually expensive massages plus having access to the countless gym equipment keeps me coming back . I will definitely renew my membership. Thank you to the staff and team for making this location so great!“

“I have been a client of Redefined for more than six years and am very grateful for the improvement in health and fitness that I have achieved with the help of the trainers. I believe that Redefined is the best gym and training facility for anyone looking to get strong, lean and fit. I give the gym and trainers my highest recommendation.“

“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.“

“All practitioners (Paolo, Iryna and Jeany) as well as the manager (Michelle) at Glenview StretchZone are great. They have significantly helped me improve the range of motion in my legs as well as my abductor muscles. They always take their time. It is definitely worth your time and money to get these stretches done.“

“If you're ready to start on a journey to better health and fitness, look no further than Laura. From the moment I met her, I knew I was in good hands.

Laura doesn't just provide a workout plan; she becomes your personal cheerleader, motivator, and confidant throughout your weight loss and fitness journey. Her approach is holistic, addressing not just exercise, but also nutrition, mindset, and lifestyle habits.

With her guidance, I've seen incredible results both physically and mentally. She tailored workouts to my abilities and goals, pushing me just the right amount to achieve progress without feeling overwhelmed. Her expertise ensured that every session was challenging yet enjoyable, leaving me energized and excited for the next.

What sets Laura apart is her unwavering support and encouragement. She celebrates every milestone, no matter how small, and provides invaluable guidance during setbacks.

Moreover, Laura is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to nutrition. She doesn't believe in fad diets or quick fixes; instead, she educates her clients on sustainable, balanced eating habits that fuel the body for optimal performance and results.

Thanks to Laura, I've not only shed pounds and inches but also gained confidence, strength, and a newfound love for a healthy lifestyle. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to embark on their own transformational journey. Hiring Laura is the best investment I made for my health and wellbeing.“

“Dropped in on a work trip to Chicago as I was staying in the area. Had dropped in a few years ago and it was so awesome I remembered it. Was not disappointed the second time around - great coaching, clearly a wonderfu community, nice big space with nice equipment, and the workout was awesome. I was sorry my work schedule changed and I couldn't drop in a second and third time. Highly recommend to anyone in the area. Don't worry if it takes a sec to hear back from their online system - just go, they are wonderful and will welcome you.“
