Trainers near Lincolnwood

“I am glad I found FBBL studio. Coming here has been a great experience training with Laura and seeing old friends in the neighborhood as well who work out here, too. I look forward to getting stronger everyday with others in the FBBL community!!“

“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!“

“I contacted Lauren for physical therapy to address strained calf and hamstring muscles in my left leg. These strains had become an impediment to my training for a half marathon. After several sessions with Lauren, and very detailed home exercises to follow after each session, the strains healed and my training resumed. The half marathon went off without a hitch! In addition to a convenient Lincoln Park location, Lauren is an amazing physical therapist! Thank you, Lauren!“

“Been at Basecamp West Loop for almost three years now and I am so thankful for the fitness (and friends) that I’ve built here! The workout is engaging and clear (which is helpful when my brain is half asleep ?). The coaches each bring their own flare to the workout, and you can’t go wrong with any of them: Dana brings the hype, Braxton brings the intensity, Dennis has such attention to detail, and Brittany makes everyone feel like a friend… I could go on! Not to mention, you will always be welcomed and celebrated at Basecamp (s/o Abby & Alyona). So thankful for this place and the people that make it!

Also, think it goes without saying that I wouldn’t stay if I didn’t see results, too.“

“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.“

“Joining this gym was the best choice I made in 2025 hands down. I have more stamina and strength, but tbf this is my first ever CrossFit gym. It's very welcoming for beginners, but is challenging for elite athletes too; most athletes need to scale the main metcons (metabolic conditioning workouts).

The space can accomodate classes of 25-30 with space for 2-3 individuals to do their own workouts in the open gym space.

In this community, there are multiple entrepreneurs whose side businesses offer other nutrition, wellness, and food services. I love being surrounded by a community that is smart, welcoming, and savvy.

I cannot recommend this gym enough to my friends and family in the Chicagoland area.“

“I’ve been training at Orange Shoe for about 1.5 years, and I can’t recommend it enough. With options for small groups sessions, 1:1 and partner training, there’s something for every fitness goal. The staff is outstanding – friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in your progress. Huge shoutout to Anahi for being an incredible trainer! I feel stronger, fitter and more confident thanks to the great workouts.“

“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!“

“I recently changed gyms and I cannot be more impressed with how Burn Bootcamp welcomed me. The workouts are challenging and vary daily and the community supports everyone trying to excel to new levels. See you all tomorrow!

“I had walked past this gym so many times and been curious to actually stop by and check it out. I could not have been more pleasantly surprised when I went inside and saw the facilities and met coach B. We talked through the program and I signed up for a free trial session the following week. The free session was great and I’ve been going to the gym three times a week ever since.

I’ve worked with a lot of personal trainers one on one and working with B in a group but with a personalized program could not be better. You get the energy of the group, make friends and have coach B working with you to achieve your goals.

Very highly recommended.“

“This gym is the most welcoming, friendly, encouraging gym I’ve ever been to! I took advantage of their personal trainer sessions and the Saturday morning classes. Each of these experiences had me feeling stronger and more knowledgeable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a gym!“

“I joined anytime fitness a few weeks ago and love it. It’s not a fancy gym, but it’s quiet and everyone is respectful.“

“I am committed to a healthy lifestyle and anytime gym makes it easy to fit a great workout routine into my busy schedule.

Clean and unpretentious! Love you guys!!“

“Bret & Jason are worth every dime! Professional. Logical. Education focused and Motivation experts !!

My husband & I are clients for personal training. I work with Bret. Jason works with my hubs. I love their Live Better philosophy and their infectious spirit. Doing our best to integrate “Best Day Ever” into our lifestyle moving forward. Their programs influence physical, spiritual, emotional, and social MINDFULNESS. So important!! Next Step - to book the next Live Better retreat!

Highly recommend: Personal training. The collective. Their coaching. All programs. Fantastic people! Looking forward to what’s next!

Best. Day. Ever.“

“Great gym. You really feel that they care about your success. Could not recommend them enough.“

“I am so happy I chose Lift River North. There's always tons of parking and the facilities are great. The staff is terrific, everyone knows my name and it's just a fun and friendly environment overall. My trainer, Ali is the best. Highly recommend. She knows her stuff and continually adapts the work outs so that it never gets old. My sessions are 45 min and I always get a great work out. I've increased my strength considerably in a short amount of time because of the plans she puts together for me. HIGHLY recommend. :)“

“I first started going to Wattage to rehab a shoulder dislocation, the process of which was so effective that now I couldn’t tell you which shoulder I injured. Alongside that swift recovery process, I underwent muscle coordination training to prevent future injuries, and have since moved on to practical strength training. Because of the dedicated programming and care I’ve received from Kelsie at Wattage, I’ve become a stronger and more injury resistant athlete, allowing me to pursue more physical endeavors and goals than I previously believed possible for myself. As for the location itself, the staff is incredibly friendly, the equipment is high quality and clean, and the amenities are plentiful. I cannot recommend this place enough!“

“I joined edge 2 years ago, I wanted to start a healthier life style which meant taking a chance on myself. the minute I walked into edge I felt so welcomed and I'm one who doesnt like to try new places because I get intimidated fast. not the case here, since joining I have made long lasting friendships and have discovered a new side I didn't know I had. Not only did I ran my first 50k but now I'm training for my first 70.3 triathlon. Everyone is so Inspiring that it's hard not wanting to try it yourself. I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for edge and I am so thankful for everyone. If you ever questioned stepping inside let me tell you this is your sign because you will not regret it.“

“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.“

“Great gym! The staff are so nice and wonderful. The gym is clean and spacious. Makes you feel comfortable to carry out a routine.“

“This gym is great. It’s smaller with a more intimate and modern feel on the inside that definitely tries to cater to the people living in the city. Was the $40 day pass a little expensive? Yes. However, true gym goers only buy day passes when they need to pay for the convenience of being able to still get in a lift when they can’t go to their own gym. This gym was great for me because I could walk 15 minutes from where I work and it was significantly closer than any other gyms in the areas. It’s a smaller space but there’s PLENTY of equipment to hit your essential lifts. It’s downtown Chicago, so don’t expect the size of an LA or Lifetime.

This is just a PSA for anyone looking to use the showers. The one on the left (if facing both showers) did take quite a few minutes for the water to get hot. Multiple factors could have played into this and I ended up just sticking it out and taking a cold shower due to time constraints. It DID get hot eventually. Overall, this did not impact my experience at MODE whatsoever. I would go again if I needed to and would recommend this location to anyone who needed a quick lift if they were in the area.“

“Found out about CTF from Kadence through a networking opportunity - Wow! I just completed my first week at RV location - staff is so inclusive and welcoming to new and existing members (which are also so supportive and assist you as well). BIG shout out to Steve and Drew for making my first class/week a positive and solid start on my fitness journey! Thanks y'all“

“Who knew that so much joy could be had while exercising!? This ensemble of trainers blend their expertise with their compassion to make the most fun & welcoming community. Nicole’s 1:1 and Group Strength Training classes have enhanced my well-being tremendously. I love this place and its people!“
