Trainers in Glenview

“I started working with a personal trainer at Activation Fitness Gym. I was specifically looking to build back the muscle I’ve lost as I’ve aged. Have I gained muscle, yes, but what I really appreciate is the attention to my form. I’ve worked with trainers before but this is the first time I’ve learned how weak I am 😂. I’ve learned I can lift more weight with bad form and a lot less with good form BUT no injuries and visible muscle growth are happening. I’m looking forward to starting the small group classes while I continue strength training.“

“I train in karate and had multiple injuries throughout 2025. In December of 2025 I decided to give stretch zone a try, and very glad I did. I’ve been going for 7 months straight for one hour each week, injury free throughout and eliminated the nagging tennis elbow I’ve had in both of my arms.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“A relatively simple gym, but good.
Very average people, nice staff and excellent equipment. Best value in fitness.“
