Trainers near Elgin

“Great gym and friendly and understanding staff. Also, I know maintenance of the lights is undergoing BUT please keep them like this! Everyone loves the dim lighting during night time :))“

“I’ve trained their 17 times and I’ve dropped 10 pounds. It’s like having a personal trainer but with a more fun environment because of the energy of all the other people there. Everything is set up for you and ready to go. 45 minutes flies by. I love how there are screens all over the room that show you exactly how to do the movement along with the coaches who are also there to assist you. I’ve had 19 joint surgeries, but the coaches always helped me with modifications, but they don’t baby me because I don’t want to be babied or I wouldn’t be there.“

“Best gym in the area. Staff is super friendly. Best machines and they’ve got machines I’ve never found anywhere else, and they get new stuff in too. Plus they host events and members appreciation days. ??“

“I am absolutely loving my experience at Core FSN! I had never tried small-group personal training before, but it turns out it’s exactly what I needed.

Coach Mo and Coach Joe are incredible—knowledgeable, supportive, and always willing to help. They truly take the pressure off and make starting out in the gym feel approachable and comfortable.

The community is unmatched. The members genuinely feel like a family, which makes every workout fun & something I look forward to.

And as a bonus, being able to grab a protein shake on the way out is such a nice touch. Highly recommend!“

“I love this planet fitness! Always clean and well maintained. Workers are so nice and friendly“

“I found EmpowerU Fitness by Googling gyms near me, and I’m so grateful I did. As someone with autism and ADHD, I often struggle with motivation, routine, and making healthy choices. This gym has completely changed that for me. It gives me the accountability I need to actually show up, and I’ve never felt more supported.

David and Jen are truly two of the most wonderful human beings on the planet. They’re patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in everyone who walks through the door. The atmosphere they’ve created is so positive, welcoming, and motivating that it feels less like a gym and more like a community.

Joining EmpowerU Fitness has helped my mental health, physical health, confidence, and overall happiness more than I can say. I’m stronger, clearer, and more consistent than I’ve ever been and I owe so much of that to this place and the people in it.

I’m genuinely so glad I joined this gym. I absolutely love this community and can’t imagine my life without it now.

If you’re looking for a place that truly lives up to its name, this is it. 💚🏋‍♀“

“Everything about Lindy and training with her is wonderful! She knows exactly what she's doing and how to help you achieve your best. Every workout is tailored to you and your goals, and she is always fun and enthusiastic. I love working with her and I can't recommend her enough!“

“Love the reformer and mat pilates classes! Instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful- especially if you are new. The studio is clean and spacious. Great energy!“

“Richard, Joanne and Maria are all great. They are very knowledgeable and make everyone feel at home working out there. I've seen good improvement in my strength in first two months of training there! I highly recommend trying the program, you will enjoy it and feel much better physically!“

“I have used numerous personal trainers over the years and Jaynie is the most knowledgeable, best by far. She walks the talk - swimmer, marathoner, cyclist, runner, all around fitness expert. She took me from not being able to swim one lap to doing a 1/2 marathon in 18 months. We have worked together for six years on all facets of training - core, weight training, weight loss..., swimming, running, cycling, cardio, stretching, golf training. There is no better training, coaching partner. I cannot recommend Jaynie enough regardless of where you are on your fitness journey.“

“If you’re looking for a highly skilled, detail-oriented instructor who genuinely cares about your growth and well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly.
As someone who was brand new to pilates, Kelly has been able to provide a deep knowledge of Pilates, attention to form, and ability to tailor each session to my individual needs since the beginning. She has truly helped me build strength, improve posture, and develop a greater awareness of my body.
Her deep knowledge of anatomy, movement mechanics, and injury-safe modifications has been essential in helping me build strength while avoiding aggravation or strain.
Every session is thoughtfully tailored to my body’s needs, with a strong focus on alignment, core support, and controlled movement. She consistently monitors form and provides gentle, precise corrections that make all the difference.“

“I highly recommend Paradigm Performance to anyone looking for the very best care in physical therapy and/or sports performance. Words can’t express how grateful we are for Dr. Stu and his incredible team. Their knowledge, compassion, and dedication helped our daughter to not only recover from an injury, but do so in top condition. The group classes are amazing and the speed and agility results speak for themselves, athletes are stronger, more confident, and fully prepared. Paradigm’s commitment to every patient goes far beyond rehabilitation; they genuinely care about helping people reach their full potential. We will always be thankful for everything they've done for our daughter and highly recommend them to anyone looking for the very best care.“

“Josh is an amazing personal trainer. He has a passion for fitness and is truly motivating!“

“Forever greatful that they remodeled the 30 minute yellow room with actual free weights. Also glad they made more room for weights instead of cardio machines. Awesome improvements :D“

“Been coming here for years. Whether you are an athlete or someone who wants to work towards a fitness goal, Thrive is the place for you. They have helped me with injury recovery, injury prevention, and strength training. It's hard work, but if you put in the time the results are worth it. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and personable.“

“Been training with Erick for several years. Very professional and helped me meet my goals better then I ever expected.“

“Josh brings professionalism, knowledge, and a positive attitude to my session. His approachable nature and dedication make working with him a truly motivating experience. It’s easy to feel inspired and supported when he’s leading the way.
Thank you!“

“Juice bar with the protein shakes was a great add on to the gym, the gym can get very crowded however to the point where all the machines are taken and are being crowded.“

“By far the most well equipped gym around.
From the sports equipment to the spa and sauna , LIFETIME FITNESS of ALGONQUIN provides anything for your journey to all around wellness and all around health.“

“Clean and very welcoming (Bob) greets everyone good morning ?
Key (trainer) ? Michael (GM) great staff.“

“I’ve been going to this location the past 6 years. I know it gets a lot of hate because the prices keep going up, but it is what it is. Staff is always nice. Pool & hot tub are seemingly always clean. Equipment is grimy sometimes but still high quality. They’ve done a ton of recent renovations with new cardio equipment & new pads on machines, it’s very well done. Basketball court could use some work but it’s better than the LA in South Elgin, and at least it’s not converted into another lifting area. Management is doing a good job certainly with this location.“
