Trainers near Oak Park

“I have immensely enjoyed learning and practicing yoga at Yoga Loft Studios. I am in reasonable physical shape but I do not have good body flexibility or core strength. I had never done yoga before in my life and decided to sign up for a two week unlimited class special to see how I liked it. Jill (owner) and her team are outstanding. There is a wide variety of classes and I have enjoyed the challenge and reward of each type. Her team of instructors provide a variety of yoga routines that keep the sessions interesting and fresh. The instructors are high energy and engaging. There are morning, afternoon and evening sessions which are super convenient. After each of my sessions that I attend, I feel like I have received an extensive work out but at the same time I feel rested and refreshed. Even if you are a novice, give this a try and you may like it as I have!“

“I was looking for a personalized holistic training approach including physical workouts and nutritional guidance. Tommaso setup a 12 week program for me around these needs and I was very happy with the process and results and I then signed up for a second 12 week engagement (currently happening at the time of this review).Everything is virtual which allows a lot of freedom and the ability to maintain our workout schedule when I’m traveling by bringing a minimal amount of gear. I was initially skeptical of a virtual approach but after speaking with his prior clients and experiencing it for myself it has proved great - don’t let this hold you back.Workouts are tailored to my level and abilities and address aches and pains when they arise.The nutritional coaching has been key for me as we review my weekly eating habits and tweak things slowly over time to eliminate unhealthy cravings with healthy substitutions and mental awareness of eating decisions.I wanted a realistic all around approach to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I have done my share of extreme diets and workout regimens which work for a while but aren’t sustainable. Tommaso is focused on realistic long term strategies that will work long into the future and that is what I’m getting.I highly recommend working with Tommaso to tailor a program for you and achieve your specific goals.“

“Gym is very clean and lots of professionalism. The staff have an amazing vibe, with good positive attitude with an awesome energy. All the trainers/staff have a good understanding of their clients needs and goals. My trainer EL PROFE (R.F.) is an amazing trainer. I'm grateful to be with Getfitzel and have an amazing trainer who truly cares for his clients.“

“A huge shoutout to the trainers at Strength SPT, specifically Rob!

I recently started training with Rob and he’s been absolutely great! He’s very approachable, friendly and knowledgeable. I like how he explains each workout and helps me understand the benefits of each exercise. He holds me accountable and takes the time to explain the right nutrition I should be eating to ensure my muscles recover quickly.

So far, I'm very happy with my progress. Rob motivates and pushes me to limits I didn’t think I could achieve. I’m excited and can’t wait to see how my body evolves!

If you’re looking for a new workout challenge you must check out Strength SPT! You won’t be disappointed! The studio offers state of the art equipment and it’s clean!“

“Keefer put me through an amazing workout! The whole staff at orange shoe is professional and focused on my fitness goals. It really feels like I'm a part of a community!“

“Have loved this place! Willie is the best. I feel welcomed here and pushed to get stronger.“

“I had a wonderful experience with Lauren at In-Motion Physical Therapy during my several sessions! I came in with significant Achilles pain associated with daily running, which seemed to be caused by both Haglund's Deformity and heel bursitis. I was unable to run, which has been my primary form of exercise for almost 15 years (I was a collegiate athlete). I had waiting for a long time (~ 3 months) trying to do various stretches myself before I finally decided to come in for physical therapy treatment. I'm really glad I did!

Lauren took a gradual approach in her recommendations for both exercises and for rehabilitation. We started out with exercises to reduce the pain and then gradually moved toward strengthening. We also addressed my cadence and neuromuscular coordination. Addressing the issue from multiple angles really helped me get back out on the road quickly, not just without pain but as a stronger runner as well. The best aspects of my treatment were the holistic approach as well as the fact that Lauren tailored the regimen to fit my needs and body.

I am now continuing to do my exercises and back to a regular running schedule! I can confidently say that In-Motion Physical Therapy is the best physical therapy in Lincoln Park, if not Chicago at large!“

“I’m a “scaled athlete” and feast is a great fit for me. Many friendly, interesting people here. The facility is very well equipped, well maintained, spotless. This is not an accident - the entire staff is experienced, responsive, professional.

Feast is the gold standard.“

“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!“

“So far, I love this place! The coaches/trainers are knowledgeable and know exactly how to correct my form to assure maximum gain from a workout and also to prevent injury. They’re very attentive with my concerns and willing to make suggestions for improvement, like flexibility. So far, Katelyn, Ashton, & David have been amazing! Thank y’all for being patient with me! ??“

“I've been training with Sarah at DMSFit for over five years (yes, this review is long overdue!), and I can't recommend her, and the entire team, enough! From day one, Sarah has helped me gain and maintain confidence in both my strength and my appearance. She meets me exactly where I'm at in every session. If I’m tired, she eases me in until I’m ready to push harder. If my shoulder is acting up, she’ll massage it until I can lift comfortably. And on the days when my motivation is low, she reminds me why showing up matters.

As much as I love Sarah and the DMSFit team, there are still days when working out feels like the last thing I want to do, but every time I push through, I leave feeling 100x better. If you’re looking for a supportive, knowledgeable, and encouraging trainer, look no further than Sarah and the team at DMSFit!“

“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.“

“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“

“BASE is the best thing that every happened to me. I have met so many amazing people and I have made so much progress in the gym. The trainers are always there for your success and cater to your individual needs/sport. They know exactly what they are talking about when it comes to the gym. I have gained more muscle and athleticism in my time with BASE than in the rest of my life. I have taken a big jump in athleticism and performance ever since I step foot in BASE.“

“Working with Mike was proof that training smarter really pays off. As a surfer living in Chicago (who likes to surf the heavy stuff), I don’t get in the water as often as I did when I lived in California. Although the workouts didn’t seem terribly difficult or complex on the surface, the first trip I took, I was able to surf 5 hrs a day for a week straight at one of the more challenging breaks I travel to (fast currents, big beach break barrels) without even breaking a sweat. Even when I surfed 5 times a week, I couldn’t do that. Thanks again y’all!“

“Rock Solid is a fantastic boutique gym. The founder Blair customizes monthly workouts and has an awesome team of trainers who make the hour fly by. The schedule is great, offering a variety of times morning day and night to get your workout in. Shoutout to the 6am crew! Always the best way to start my day.“

“Nick is really knowledgeable in wellness in general as well as deeper with the ARX equipment. I never had a workout experience like this but in the end we only do about 5 minutes of effort. It was incredible and I highly recommend the Wellness Lab.“

“CFC is legendary. All of their trainers are incredible. The owner, Eddie Y., is a modern day folk hero. CFC is the absolute best.“

“Victor is hands down the best personal trainer I’ve ever worked with. He was patient yet pushed me to become the best version of me. When I would train for a specific event, he would tailor my work outs to best prepare me. When I had an injury, he also helped me continue to work out and not fall behind.

I would recommend anyone join Victory Training. 10/10 stars, absolutely recommend.“

“This studio and specifically Marilyn is a hidden gem. I had a knee injury and she has helped me build back my strength, balance and flexibility. She is so patient, knowledgeable and keeps things interesting by continuing to introduce new exercises! So grateful that I found her. She has deals for first time customers..give the studio a try!“

“I’ve worked with a few trainers and Nick is by far the best. He is deeply knowledgeable, on time and dedicated to his work. I’m happy with my progress so far and looking forward to the work ahead.“

“OMG this place is wonderful. Im 71 and I want more muscle tone and of course loss weight. No judgment here just positive energy from everybody. My trainer Brandon knows his stuff and he's tuff wont give me a brake. I'm glad I took the first step and went in there cuz nothing but positivity is going to come out of this. Please go you'll enjoy yourself. When I leave there I FEEL GREAT!!!!“

“Anytime Fitness Niles is the gym to go to. The gym is always clean, the machines are new and maintained and the staff is always friendly. It has everything you need, from cardio, to weights and group classes. The location is convenient and there is plenty of parking. Mike the owner has done and continues to do a phenomenal job, and truly cares about his members. I truly recommend checking out this gym, you won’t regret it!“

“Great ?️‍♂️ gym!!! On to my second week. Looking forward to seeing Great progress. Everyone is super nice.“

“Love WC. Staff and members are outstanding, very welcoming and helpful. Inspiring place to work out. Comfortable for all levels of strength conditioning.“

“As a fellow fitness professional with over 20 years experience, and working side by side with Sean for many years, I can honestly say that Sean is not only knowledgeable and professional, but he is also caring and kind. He's great at getting his clients results in a safe and effective way. Highly recommend Sean to be your fitness trainer/coach“
