Trainers near Oak Park

“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.“

“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 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!“

“Lauren at In Motion is phenomenal! I needed physical therapy after I broke my fifth metatarsal on my left foot and was heading to Japan only weeks after being cleared to walk again. Lauren worked with me 3x/week to ensure I was ready, and sure enough I was able to walk 20k steps daily on my trip. She’s attentive, kind, and genuinely cares. Absolutely recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I’ve tried several different F45 fitness centers, and F45 Hinsdale is truly on another level compared to the rest. The energy and atmosphere are incredible, so motivating from the moment you walk in. Every workout feels intentional, challenging, and fun. The coaches are all top-level: knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping you push yourself while keeping great form.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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 was able to visit the gym for only a short period of time as I was coming in from out of town, but it was wonderful! Everyone is incredibly kind, the equipment and facilities are great, and the overall vibe was super chill. I would definitely recommend!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“The staff are wonderful!! Best coaches ever.

Great vibe. So much fun.“

“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.“

“Absolutely best workout anyone could ask for. It replaces the gym boredom with a developed program that is for all ages and stages of fitness. Great motivation, even when you dont feel like working out, it energizes you and leaves you feeling grateful.“
