Trainers near Des Plaines

“I really like this 24/7 gym. I usually come here in the evening after work -very convenient and easy to fit into my schedule.

The place is clean, spacious, and never feels overcrowded. The staff is friendly and helpful, which makes the overall experience even better.

Comfortable gym where you can just come, work out, and enjoy your time.“

“I love the facility and training with Coach Steph. I had taken a significant break from physical activity. She allows me to be myself, authentically. She’s knowledgeable, answering all my questions. She works with me and accommodates my limitations. The workouts are challenging yet fun, and I always feel supported and encouraged.

I have also gotten the opportunity to train with Coach Rob. Rob is supremely knowledgeable and caters to your specific physical level. The workouts feel challenging and fulfilling, but never overwhelming, and he has a way of pushing you just far enough to make real progress. Training with him builds confidence as much as strength.“

“Been going for 3 weeks now feeling great! Gym is super clean and well kept. Atmosphere is very inviting. Trainers know their stuff! Highly recommend!“

“My 13 year old son Jayden has been going to Hustle for a little over two months. The improvement in his confidence, strength and quickness is very evident. He enjoys every session and looks forward to going. He loves pushing himself and trying new workouts. Anthony, Jonathan and the rest of his instructors are a big part of how excited he is to be there, and I can't thank them enough for their encouragement. I'm so happy we found Hustle and I'm excited to see his continued progress.“

“Colin and the rest of the team at CSI are top notch. They really helped me to get my strength and conditioning back up after an injury.“

“My 5-year-old daughter has been attending classes here, and I’m genuinely impressed with how well the instructors treat the kids. This is a true family-run school, and you can feel the balance between discipline, kindness, and motivation in every class.

In just the first month, my daughter made strong progress — both in technique and in confidence. The instructors know how to keep kids focused while still making the training enjoyable. They also give out small intermediate awards, which really encourages the children to work harder and stay excited about learning.

The atmosphere here is supportive and positive, and you can see that every child receives attention and guidance. For parents, it’s incredibly reassuring to watch how respectfully and patiently the staff works with the kids.

Parking is easy and never a problem.

I highly recommend this martial arts school for families looking for quality training, structure, and a caring environment.“

“Extremely convenient for being right on the floor below my place of work. Very peaceful and never crowded, plus 24/7. The management is very helpful, friendly, and relaxed.“

“Tom is an exceptional personal trainer. He’s incredibly attentive and personalizes each workout based on your goals and comfort level. No two sessions feel exactly the same, which keeps things interesting & motivating, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about making sure you’re getting real value from every workout.

He can explain the science behind each movement, which helps you understand what you’re working and why. He pays close attention to form and safety, and he’s consistently on time, fully present, and never distracted (not on his phone).

Most importantly, he makes working out fun, the sessions fly by, and you leave feeling accomplished every time. I couldn’t ask for a better trainer and highly recommend him!“

“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!“

“Love my Tuesday, Thursday works outs. Every class is something new, always able to adjust according to your fitness skills or needs. Great place to get motivated to work out, and set the tone for your day. Wonderful staff and have made a great network of friends as.an added bonus.“

“I’ve never been so happy at a gym. Amazing customer service, cleanliness, amenities, and group fitness classes. I mainly joined for the group fitness classes and I love the variety! I would highly recommend to all my friends and family!“

“Joshua Gatia is an excellent personal trainer and coach. He’s knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely cares about his clients’ progress. The workouts are challenging but always tailored to individual goals and fitness levels. He creates a supportive and encouraging environment that keeps you accountable and confident. Highly recommend Gotcha Fit to anyone looking for real results.“

“I’ve been coming to this Planet Fitness in Deerfield for a while now and it’s a 10/10 experience. The cleanliness is consistent and the atmosphere is very welcoming. I love that I never have to queue for equipment, which is hard to find these days. Highly recommended!“

“Outstanding gym. The new owner and management—getting after it, big time. The place looks sharp, cleaner than ever, and well-organized. 24/7 access means no excuses—get in, get it done, any time. Great location, great people, great environment. Good vending machine options. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Absolutely best workout anyone could ask for. It replaces the gym boredom with a developed program that is for all ages and stages of fitness. Great motivation, even when you dont feel like working out, it energizes you and leaves you feeling grateful.“

“Foundation Fitness Club in Lombard is outstanding! Mark is an incredible coach — professional, motivating, and truly dedicated to his clients’ success. He personalizes each workout to fit your goals and makes training both effective and enjoyable. The gym is clean, welcoming, and has a great community feel. Highly recommend Mark and Foundation Fitness to anyone looking to get stronger and healthier!“

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

“This efficient strength training is the perfect answer to regain strength for everyday activities and to increase bone density. The exercises are done with a personal trainer which helps to encourage goals, but in a very safe manner. The efficiency of the workout is what drives me to continue, along with the results of feeling stronger and more energized.“

“My first stretch in a long time. Maria was great. Knows her stuff, and doesn't talk too much. Going back soon“

“Jonny and fuel your training is literally the most challenging thorough workout you can imagine. Jonny Brings a mixture of expertise and devotion that is unparalleled. You will not find a better workout in the Northshore.“

“I found Joe after looking for a trainer in the Northbrook area who would help make my training a bit more functional. I’d been lifting regularly for a few years and while I’d worked with trainers in small group settings before, Joe without a doubt stands out in not only his knowledge but his care for his clients. He listened to my goals of wanting to gain strength and struggles with things like knee pain. Since working together I’ve not only seen a difference in my strength but my understanding of training functionally and how to protect my body while hitting some aesthetic goals. On top of being an incredibly knowledgeable trainer, Joe is a great guy and that vibe is felt throughout the gym. Without a doubt one of the best out there and cannot recommend him enough to anyone looking to work with someone. Would give him 10 stars if I could!! Also I can do pull ups now!!! Thanks Joe!!!“

“Recently had to cancel my membership due to being busy with work and stuff but when I did go consistently the gym was kept clean and the machines were cool and Ahmad was definitely a warm welcoming experience sad to leave but I will be back gl to everybody on their fitness goals and I definitely recommend this gym“

“I am traveling for a family event in the area so decided to drop in to Pavillion for a quick training session. I compete in the Pan American Masters weightlifting championships within a month so my needs were for free weights and bumper plates. Pavillion has a fantastic set up with Hammer Strength half and full racks with weightlifting and deadlifting platforms. The locker rooms are great as well with no personal lock needed. Amazing facility and worth the minimal guest fee! Thank you Elk Grove Village for providing a great facility for the needs of your community!“

“Is it over the top to say that UltiFit has changed my life? Maybe, but it's true! I started UltiFit as a fun fitness activity 7 years ago then got hooked on ninja and obstacle course racing. I love the OC Fusion UltiFit classes and - of the UltiFit/Ultimate Ninjas locations, North Shore is my favorite. The gym has a great mix of really high-quality obstacles and I can't say enough about Coach Warren - he ranks as one of the top coaches I've had. Warren goes above and beyond with really creative workouts and encourages people to push themselves while having fun.“
