Trainers near River Forest

“They were incredibly accommodating and welcoming when I came in from out of town. Great locker room and facilities. A little small and very unorganized in terms of weights being all over the place but I'll chalk that up to it being a gym and gym goers being awful lol. Awesome selection of equipment and attachments for cables that far exceed the typical 3 attachments you find. Absolutely would recommend. I dealt with Ursula and she was great with the tour and informing me what amenities were available!“

“Rob and Ovi are great at what they do!Rob trained me with very carefully thought out plans. They create a fun atmosphere and the music is motivating. The equipment is very clean and their variety is quite different from the ones with any other gym.Rob understands the requirements and goals and designs the workout plans accordingly.Good parking space available.“

“Been going here since January, mainly for my back pain from standing for long periods of time at work. Happy to say that with the help of my personal trainer, Alondra, I pretty much no longer have back pain :). She has helped me gain more strength through strength training and helped accommodate with any exercises I couldn’t do at first. The gym is always very welcoming to visit and I think it really makes it easier to focus on myself when working out. Itzel and the other trainers are always nice and encouraging.“

“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 have to highly recommended Tone up 2 Fitness. It is a great place to train and get back in shape. I have been working with Tom for the last two months and he is amazing. He actually makes the training fun where time flies.He works with you at pace you are comfortable with but pushes you at the same time. He is very knowledgable in what he does. I couldnt have asked for a better trainer.“

“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!“

“Sarah is the best trainer I’ve had. She makes you feel comfortable and good about yourself and explains the exercises well. I never feel judged. The faculty is clean with very modern and new equipment. They invest a lot in it. The music and step aerobics class is fun.“

“Josh is a great personal trainer I just want to say thanks for the great training session. I have struggled with my training to meet my fitness goals and finally I feel like I’m on the right track. The combination of the program and the meal is the best to get good results.I just want to say Thank Josh.“

“Everyone here is so nice and welcoming! Anahi is an excellent trainer! She pushes me to work hard, but always makes sure I am still comfortable. I highly recommend this place!“

“I am OBSESSED with F45 and have been to locations on both the East and West coasts, as well as this Hinsdale/Western Springs location. They are all consistent with amazing trainers (I think Coach Willie is my fav :) ) making sure you have the correct form and modify any exercises to make them more difficult/easier based on your personal needs. They also check up on you to make sure you’re doing okay throughout. It’s almost like having a personal trainer, without having someone breathe over your shoulder the entire time. Taking F45 classes consistently has honestly gotten me into the best shape of my life at 40 years old. I cannot say enough great things. This particular location averages adults in their 40s-50s, but many are even older. It’s never too soon to create the best physical version of yourself. I always walk out of every class feeling AMAZING.“

“This is truly a magical place. I have been a member, a coach and am now an outdoor adventure leader for the gym. When I think of being in those walls, I think of the laughter, the fitness and the encouragement that held everyone up. Strongly suggest becoming a member or just dropping in. Amazing coaches. Amazing programming. Amazing Owners.“

“Work with the gym professionally and as a client. Very professional and enthusiastic trainers and management that help you achieve your goals by pushing you but also checking on your form to make sure you do it the right way!“

“This is the best place ever. The trainers are all lovely. I train boxing with Jeremie and it’s been life changing. And there are no mirrors so everyone isn’t checking themselves out the whole time - really makes for a nice vibe“

“A year ago, I made the switch to Anytime Fitness, and it has been a game-changer. Unlike other large gyms where I felt like I was wasting money, I now consistently show up for my workouts and never struggle to use the equipment I need. The smaller group classes here are fantastic, and the coaches are amazing. Participating in these classes has reignited my passion for fitness.“

“I’ve worked with a few trainers and Nick is by far the best. He is deeply knowledgeable, on time and dedicated to his work. I’m happy with my progress so far and looking forward to the work ahead.“

“I was looking for a personalized holistic training approach including physical workouts and nutritional guidance. Tommaso setup a 12 week program for me around these needs and I was very happy with the process and results and I then signed up for a second 12 week engagement (currently happening at the time of this review).Everything is virtual which allows a lot of freedom and the ability to maintain our workout schedule when I’m traveling by bringing a minimal amount of gear. I was initially skeptical of a virtual approach but after speaking with his prior clients and experiencing it for myself it has proved great - don’t let this hold you back.Workouts are tailored to my level and abilities and address aches and pains when they arise.The nutritional coaching has been key for me as we review my weekly eating habits and tweak things slowly over time to eliminate unhealthy cravings with healthy substitutions and mental awareness of eating decisions.I wanted a realistic all around approach to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I have done my share of extreme diets and workout regimens which work for a while but aren’t sustainable. Tommaso is focused on realistic long term strategies that will work long into the future and that is what I’m getting.I highly recommend working with Tommaso to tailor a program for you and achieve your specific goals.“

“BASE is the best thing that every happened to me. I have met so many amazing people and I have made so much progress in the gym. The trainers are always there for your success and cater to your individual needs/sport. They know exactly what they are talking about when it comes to the gym. I have gained more muscle and athleticism in my time with BASE than in the rest of my life. I have taken a big jump in athleticism and performance ever since I step foot in BASE.“

“I love this place, it’s the best, you work together as a team, it can be intimidating at first but honestly you really become comfortable quickly ??“

“Excellent coaching in all aspect of health and fitness. Whether it's to get stronger, feel better or dropping weight this is the place. Coaches tailor the workouts for you and make you feel comfortable with being uncomfortable. Whether it's personal training or group fitness, they have your back.“

“This place is past phenomenal. The trainers are A1 and the equipment is great. The layout is awesome as well. Great environment for a great workout!“

“Had a wonderful time dropping in to the box while traveling! Staff was very responsive and welcoming and the gym is stocked with any and all equipment I could want. Heartily recommend picking Windy City!“

“Great space. Diverse demographic. Great coaching. Personal training exceeded my expectations. Jordan Cooper is knowledgeable, patient, and a great motivator. If I were to judge Dog House based solely on my experience with him, I would say DOG House is top-notch. It is a place I would highly recommend if you are serious about fitness and belonging to a good Crossfit community. You will find what you need at DOG House CrossFit.“

“Exceptional experience at Vaunt!From the moment I walked in, I felt motivated and supported by the friendly staff and inclusive atmosphere.The state-of-the-art equipment and diverse range of classes cater to all fitness levels and goals (I highly recommend classes with Patsy).The cleanliness and organization of the facility reflect a high standard of care for members.Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned gym-goer, Vaunt offers a welcoming environment to help you achieve your fitness aspirations.Highly recommend!“

“Fantastic gym in Humboldt Park. I take advantage of the small group personal training classes and love it!“

“Had a wonderful experience here. I was really struggling to get and stay motivated to be active. The scheduled gym time helped immensely. I was connected with a trainer that helped me see results I was looking for and to learn more about lifting, which was all new to me. Now I feel immensely more confident in being able to show up for myself, maintain consistency at the gym, and how to workout with weights! Can’t recommend this place enough if you’re trying to get yourself moving and have some more accountability around that.“

“I always have a blast and learn a bunch each class! Ben encourages me to do the scary things I wouldn’t do on my own which gives me a bunch of confidence on my board. He walks me through techniques to accomplish tricks efficiently which helps me a lot. I love that he has a private setup of all types of awesome ramps that he built himself. Dude is an awesome teacher, and extremely passionate. 100% recommended.“
