Trainers near Mount Prospect picked by BestProsInTown
“I highly recommend working with Stay Fit. I started working with Lisa as a wellness and nutrition coach about 8 weeks ago and I am down 15 pounds and my overall health has dramatically improved. I find the plan very manageable. Give it a shot! You will not regret it.”
“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.<br><br>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.”
“I’ve been coming to 10.40.10 fitness for over a year now. I came because a friend invited me, I stayed because the direction and guidance I received from coaches was nothing other than top-notch. Again today, I told my coach I’ve been out for a few days from lifting because I pulled a muscle in my back. Christie immediately pointed out what exercises might cause an issue and gave me modifications. She was spot on and the modifications helped immensely. The coaches are all so knowledgeable and helpful. ❤️”
“I’ve been going to Ultimate Fitness for their group HIIT classes for almost four months now and have been extremely happy with the experience. The workouts are challenging, well-structured, and always keep everyone motivated.<br><br>The trainers truly care about helping you succeed and keep the classes fun and supportive. Christina does an amazing job with the weekday classes, mixing up different activities so every workout stays fresh and engaging. Her programming delivers a true full-body workout and never feels repetitive. Justin leads the popular Saturday morning class, which has a kickboxing theme and is hands down one of my favorite workouts of the week. It’s high-energy, intense, and a great mix of cardio and strength — no surprise it’s one of the most attended classes.<br><br>Both trainers are knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve, regardless of fitness level. The gym has a welcoming, supportive atmosphere that makes it easy to stay consistent. Highly recommend Ultimate Fitness if you’re looking for great trainers who are equally invested in achieving your fitness goals, fun HIIT classes, and a strong community! ??”
“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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>Parking is easy and never a problem.<br><br>I highly recommend this martial arts school for families looking for quality training, structure, and a caring environment.”
“The place stands out. It has a gym, swimming pool, palettes, a huge tennis court, and a spa. It is completely equipped for a workout. Huge dressing room and clean bathroom.<br>High-end place and quiet, has a computer area, and a coffee shop.”
“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.<br><br>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).<br><br>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!”
“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’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!”
“I started with Joe after a leg injury where I lost mobility, had continuous tightness/pain, and less strength. Prior to Joe, I had tried multiple PTs, doctors, and methods to recover fully from my injury.<br><br>Joe immediately was able to see the areas I needed to work on for recovery and knew how to address the issues.<br><br>Now I have full range of motion, activation, and strength back in my leg and I’m feeling better than I did before my injury.<br><br>He’s extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend this to anyone that either is recovering from an injury, or wants to step up their physical health or performance.”
“Been a member for over a year now . Greg is very knowledgeable and has been helping me through a shoulder issue. Workouts are always fun and challenging. V3 is a great way to start the day.”
“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.”
“Great facility for those that want an efficient and effective workout. Excellent trainers who are attentive to their clients and help to achieve their fitness goals. Look forward to each session and appreciate the workout to maintain overall quality of life.”
“Really creative and motivating drills! Great experience training our high school tennis player. Mindee and staff really care. Thank you Mindee.”
“The cryotherapy was amazing!! Kyle is very knowledgeable and gentle,<br>made me feel fully at ease. I was a little nervous about the cold air but the second the blast touched my joints, relief washed over me. I had my whole back, Vagus nerve, and feet done and I can’t wait to do it again!”
“Love working with Dave. He mixes things up to keep the workouts interesting. Convenient location.”
“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 ?♀️<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“This review is long overdue.<br>I have been training at Push for over 10 years with Steve and Michelle. You can’t find more dedicated trainers/owners. They genuinely care about their clients and run their business with integrity.<br>The gym is full functioning from strength to cardio, spotless, and I truly appreciate that it never smells like a gym!<br>The workouts are tailored to me based on my goals and abilities and although challenging are made fun by the constant change up. Guidance with diet and food is readily available and can be monitored with food journals that keep you accountable.<br>Sessions have made me physically and mentally stronger and I credit Michelle and Steve for helping me onto that path. Highly recommend Push Fitness!”
“My first stretch in a long time. Maria was great. Knows her stuff, and doesn't talk too much. Going back soon”
“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 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!!!”
“Very happy with the boxing classes for kids. My son have improved a lot and they teach them discipline.”
