Trainers in 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.“

“Activation Fitness has been life changing for me! I have been dealing with headaches for years that would drag on for days. I would use heat, ice, massage, stretch, you name it and relief was only temporary. I just accepted that every month, I would just deal with 3 day headache, not fun. Then, I happened to be talking to a client at work one day and they spoke so highly of how muscle activation helped them with their hip issue when all else had failed them. I was intrigued because it sounded so different from everything I've tried in the past, so I gave it a try. I consulted with Steve over the phone and based on my history he thought muscle activation could work. We started weekly sessions for 6 weeks, but already half way through, I noticed I didn't have the neck and shoulder aches and pains I typically had that would turn into an awful headache for days. Here I am 7 months later and no relentless headaches! It's been a game changer for me. I am continuing my sessions every other week now with success and thrilled how I feel. Everyone needs MAT in their life!“

“I wish I had found GhFitlab earlier than I did. Due to MS, my muscles were getting stiff and I started to lose feeling and significant movement in my left leg. Through an individualized program created by Marcin that focuses on different muscle groups, I have regained feeling and strength on my left side. My mobility and balance has also improved. Also during my journey, I had rotator cuff surgery. Marcin was in charge of my rehab and it was seamless. I was back in their facility within two weeks to keep the rest of my muscles moving and then eventually and slowly working on the shoulder.I am stronger and more energetic today because of the GhFitlab program.“

“Rafa is super happy in this training center. The coach is strict but it is good for kids“

“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.“

“I wanted to thank the Glenview team and recognize them even though I go to various locations depending on whether I am choosing to work out after work or when visiting family other areas. Since I have started working out, all the areas I have used have been clean, especially the female locker room. Cleanliness and hygiene are important to me and I am so happy the Glenview team makes this a priority. A special mention to the team who kept my winter jacket safe in the lost and found until I could return to pick it up! I won't hesitate to return to this location :)“
