“Unfortunately I had to discontinue my membership due to financial issue but I absolutely enjoyed my time at Hotworx and can’t wait to return in the future! My only suggestion, take the time to train the staff to view invoices correctly. Empower the employees. Thank you Hotworx Plainfield.“

“I joined 3 years ago after Covid. What would I do without this place?? Never want to find out. It brings me peace after a long day at work and keeps my mind and body strong!“

“I think it's time to update my review since I've been a member at Club Pilates South for six years now. I think my long-running membership says a lot. The club has 12 reformers, a one-on-one room for private training and a bathroom. There are no lockers, but the small reception area has cubbies to store your personal belongings. There are multiple levels of workouts and types of workouts as well. You can conveniently schedule your workouts on the Club Pilates app. There are varying levels of membership as well. I am an unlimited member, which means I can go between any of the Club Pilates studios of this particular owner. The front desk staff and managers at both South and North are always welcoming and friendly. The Pilates instructors vary slightly in their teaching techniques, but they excel at providing full body workouts using the various Pilates equipment like the reformer, chair, springboard, TRX, bosu, box and various bands, circle and fit ball. The instructors are very knowledgeable and go through intensive training. They keep a watchful eye on their clients for proper form and safety making modifications if a client is dealing with an injury like me. Since my knee injury, I went back to level one workouts, but still feel that I get an intense and effective workout, never the same and always varying. That's what I love about Pilates. Workouts never get stale and are full body workouts. The owner Eric cares about his members. Not only does he find the best instructors and staff, Eric provides incentives for his members and recognizes their achievements. It's motivating to see your name move up the achievement board to the top 1000 milestone mark, and it's fun to see your achievement on their social media. I can't say enough good things about Club Pilates South and Club Pilates North Studios. Eric also added a third location, Club Pilates Plainfield. I haven't worked out there, but I'm sure it's just as fabulous as the South and North studios. If you're looking for a clean workout facility with top notch instructors providing an effective full-body workout with some fun and laughter sprinkled throughout, I would highly recommend Eric's clubs.“

“This is the best full body and mind work out I have found. I am grateful for this class!“

“Big fan of Shyft! Kyla is my instructor and does a fabulous job. I walk away from our reformer class feeling so great. Stretched, worked out and more focused. As someone who had their knee reconstructed, I love the low impact work out that really builds some heat. The studio is quaint, clean and quiet which I appreciate. Love it so much here I got a monthly membership, I highly recommend anyone who wants to try a class to sign up for a drop in or community class to try it, you'll love it!“

“Essence of Life - Shorewood has been my home away from home for about 6 or 7 years now, and I can't say enough wonderful things about it! I've never felt such a sense of community anywhere else and I can't imagine life without this studio and the people in it. The variety of classes is always changing, and there's certainly something for everyone! If you haven't given Essence a chance yet, what are you waiting for??“

“They definitely care about you well being and encourage you along the whole way ❤️“

“What a wonderful yoga studio. Pat is so kind, reassuring and an excellent teacher. I will definitely be back“

“Dr. Jeff brings a wealth of knowledge to such a wonderful studio and community. The genuinely caring and welcoming atmosphere makes Aurora Yoga Center feel like home.“

“Although I’ve been a member of this gym for years, it wasn’t until this summer that I returned with real consistency, and I was genuinely impressed by what I found. The club feels refreshed, energized by a team that sets the tone from the moment you step through the door. You’re greeted warmly by the super friendly front desk staff. The gym is always clean, spacious, and well organized. The atmosphere is calm, respectful, and inviting. The leadership of General Manager Chris and Fitness Manager Mark clearly elevates the entire experience. Their presence is felt in the culture, the professionalism, the friendly atmosphere, and the overall quality of the gym. I feel that everyone at this gym is very supportive and invested in your success.

I’ve also enjoyed the group fitness classes I’ve taken so far, taught by Olga and Anayka. Which leads me to talk about my personal trainer, Anayka.

Working with Anayka has truly been life-changing. Before I started training with her, I was constantly getting injured, losing motivation, and never seeing real results. Since training with her, I’ve lost over 20 lbs, dropped about 8% body fat, and increased my muscle mass significantly. While the physical results are amazing, they’re only part of the transformation. The biggest change has been my mindset. Anayka has taught me how to train correctly, safely, and for the long run. Her knowledge of the body and the mechanics behind every movement gives me complete confidence that I won’t get hurt. She has the patience to coach someone as stubborn as me lol, and she makes every workout fun. I truly believe I can do this not as a short-term fix, but as a lifelong mental and physical transformation.

My family noticed during Thanksgiving. My cousins asked if I was taking “those shots” for weight loss, but no… it’s just the hard work, consistency, and Anayka’s expert coaching.

I trust her 100%. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares, knows her craft, and can change your life inside and out, she’s the one. It’s so fun to see the results every single week!!!“

“Between the location and amount of space available, LAF 59 has been pretty good to me. On the corner of Route 59 and 95th Street, it is in a very convenient spot. Compared to other LAF clubs in the area, it is one of the largest and perhaps that is what helps to make it a “signature” location. Despite how busy it would get sometimes, I could always find space to do my workout. In particular, I enjoyed the size of the aerobics room – it is massive and, as a dancer, I loved having all that private space to practice my turns, leaps and routines.

When comparing it to other health club brands, I believe that LAF is a great deal for the money. Last time I checked, a membership at Lifetime would cost about 5x as much as my current monthly fee here. For what I need from a health club, it works very well for me.

I will be re-locating and switching over to another LAF club, but I just wanted to give the staff here a shout out. My questions were always addressed and my concerns were always heard, and that is really all I can ask for. Everyone was always polite and professional, and that was much appreciated. Thank you!“
