Techny Fitness

Oct 2017

So let me preface by saying that I am a "fairly" athletic 38 year old father of two who was an all state athlete in high school and played volleyball for the University of Iowa for four years. I rode my bike across the state of Iowa in a recreational bike ride now for the past two years and have trained for and completed multiple Chicago marathons. I exercise at the local YMCA 3-4 times a week and go to hot yoga classes at least three times a week in addition to running and biking every chance I get....With all that said, NONE of this prepared me for what I experienced when I met Brian and walked into Techny Fitness! I was naively skeptical that Brian could teach this aging old dog new tricks. But Brian is a fitness guru and has showed me exercises I never knew existed. I've worked muscles I never knew I had. After five sessions at Techny Fitness I feel like I've accomplished more than five months solo at the YMCA. He's always got a new piece of equipment to show me or a new routine that completely blows my mind and exhausts my body. Brian has over ten years experience as a personal trainer, and has an endless wealth of knowledge when it comes the human anatomy, diet and of course training the body. The facility is located in a racket ball court with forty foot ceilings in a cool, dry basement. Well lit, always clean, perfect conditions for a big dude like myself who sweats constantly during rigorous workouts. I love his circuit style of training. He isolates muscles at times and completely mixes it up other times. He has taught me the key to seeing results is confusing the body and not letting it get used to a routine of always doing the same things. He trains men and woman ten years younger than me and also folks who are 10-20 years older than me. Each person is different and I see that he takes the time to understand each individuals goals and caters the exercise routine accordingly. If you're looking for real results and are willing to put in the effort, this is your one stop gym! Thank you, Brian!

My go to for training. Brian at Techny Fitness is great. Knows his stuff and pushes you during workouts. He works around issues you may be having and provides new challenges at the same time. Studio space is clean, roomy and functional. If you want to get some real training, real challenges, without the glam or the fluff, this is your place. My time at Techny Fitness has made me younger than my age and given me the muscle mass, endurance and strength I was looking for! On top of all that, the pricing is amazing. If you are on the North Shore, and not a client, you are missing out.
