Trainers near South Barrington

“I have used numerous personal trainers over the years and Jaynie is the most knowledgeable, best by far. She walks the talk - swimmer, marathoner, cyclist, runner, all around fitness expert. She took me from not being able to swim one lap to doing a 1/2 marathon in 18 months. We have worked together for six years on all facets of training - core, weight training, weight loss..., swimming, running, cycling, cardio, stretching, golf training. There is no better training, coaching partner. I cannot recommend Jaynie enough regardless of where you are on your fitness journey.“

“If you’re looking for a program that offers personal training customized to your level of fitness and oriented to your personal goals, Ultimate Fitness is your go-to. I train with Justin 3 times a week. He mixes it up and challenges me in every session. Every couple of weeks, he measures that progress, as he has a machine that measures percentages of fat, muscle, etc. Seeing results not only in the mirror or scale, but measured body fat/muscle percentages, holds everyone accountable. This approach allows you to chart your progress as you go and, if needed, make adjustments. It’s all about challenging me to reach my goals but, unlike some of their competition out there, Justin and his team have a friendly enough and down-to-earth approach so that I don’t think twice about being consistent and keeping with the 3-day a week schedule. 5 stars, so far. Keep it up, Justin!“

“The instructors are highly skilled and compassionate, adapting instruction to each student's ability. The class environment is welcoming and supportive, and the training significantly enhances students' confidence and ability to defend themselves effectively.“

“In 2022, some newly diagnosed health issues triggered a series of surgeries and complications which severely limited most of my physical activity for eight months. When I was ready to resume exercise, I knew I needed help, although I have my own well-equipped home gym. RF has not only helped me get back to a base level of fitness, I have exceeded previous personal benchmarks. I do a lot of bicycling in the summer, and thanks to Sean and his team, I felt stronger on the hills last summer than I had in over ten years, despite having missed the entire previous cycling season. Even though the workouts are in a small group setting, my sessions are tailored to address my unique capabilities and limitations. The workouts are designed to be challenging and varied, while carefully crafted to limit the possibility of injury and potential setback. I have enjoyed doing and learning a lot of exercises I have never previously done, and I appreciate Sean’s attention to the importance of flexibility, in addition to strength. To that end, I have also benefitted greatly by supplementing my workouts with some ProStretch sessions. I feel truly blessed to have found the aptly named “Restoration” Fitness, and I look forward to consistent and continuing progress at RF.“

“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've been training weekly at MocaFit with Joe since 2022 and can tell you it's worth every penny. With Joe's guidance, I've seen tremendous progress. He's helped my strength, mobility, and recovery from chronic injuries. His approach to fitness is something for which every trainer should strive. 10/10 would recommend.“

“The cryotherapy was amazing!! Kyle is very knowledgeable and gentle,
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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I've been working out at The Exercise Coach in Buffalo Grove for 12 and a half years. I have NEVER been so consistent at exercising! The coaches are all patient and understanding when I have aches and pains and can adjust my workout immediately and with a smile. I need to stay strong for my job and they help me do that every week. Thanks, Exercise Coach!“

“If you're looking to kickstart your fitness journey, Empower Fitness is the perfect place to begin.

Whether you're a beginner or looking to get back on track, they make sure to provide modifications and adjustments to fit your needs, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident.

I highly recommend Empower Fitness for anyone ready to take that first step toward a healthier, stronger you!“

“I was looking for a gym where I could relax and exercise without anyone judging me from the time I walked through the doors and Push Fitness is that gym. As soon as you walk in, everybody, including the clients welcomes you, encourages you to not give up on yourself, and gives great nutritional advice on losing body weight. Also, Push Fitness had a great 1 on 1 connection with their clients. Former clients come and go and decide to return to this gym to tone their bodies back into shape. If you want to lose weight and do not know where to go because gyms are intimidating, Push Fitness is your gym.“

“I am traveling for a family event in the area so decided to drop in to Pavillion for a quick training session. I compete in the Pan American Masters weightlifting championships within a month so my needs were for free weights and bumper plates. Pavillion has a fantastic set up with Hammer Strength half and full racks with weightlifting and deadlifting platforms. The locker rooms are great as well with no personal lock needed. Amazing facility and worth the minimal guest fee! Thank you Elk Grove Village for providing a great facility for the needs of your community!“

“Always clean with help constantly refilling paper towels and disinfectant to spray down machines! Great facility!“

“I am a professional athlete and have been doing yoga on and off for years. Mainly out of state but have now lived in Illinois the last 5-6 years and I am so happy to have came across Melt Pilates & Hot Yoga! My first class was with Agnes. Her energy and verbal cueing are just tips of the iceberg when talking about her wonderful class. Iv taken other classes and have seen other instructors at various locations but Agnes’s class sits on top amongst them all. You feel her love and passion for yoga simply by listening to her speak and guiding you through her class. In the hour or hour and 15 minutes you have with her, she will not only take your body on a challenging and unique journey but also the ability to inspire your yogi soul! After taking my first class with her, she is the only instructor I prefer to take classes with and when I am out of town and take a yoga class elsewhere, I leave immediately thinking “it wasn’t like Agnes’s class”. It is hard to put into words the feeling I have when taking one of her classes, she is able to push you safely to limits you didn’t think you could reach, poses you were maybe not able to accomplish before and allows you to connect to your body in a way you have not done before. Leaving her class makes you a different person in the best way possible and makes you eager for more!“

“I have been taking Walk for Life with Bonnie since Fall 2011 and have recommended it to many friends. Bonnie makes the class fun with different music and you don;t realize how hard you are working. I am so disappointed when I am unable to attend. Look forward ti more sessions at Forest View.“

“My mom, our neighbor, and I all frequent this gym, and we're absolutely thrilled with our choice. Its prime location near our home makes it incredibly convenient, and the spacious parking lot is a huge bonus, allowing us to easily find a spot even during peak hours. The overall cleanliness of the facility is impressive and adds to the welcoming atmosphere. Initially, my mom encountered a bit of a challenge with a gentleman at the front desk regarding her Silver Sneakers membership. As she is new to the gym scene, there may have been a lack of understanding on his part about how the program works. I must admit, I was somewhat upset with how he treated her, as she was navigating this new experience. However, during our next visit, we had the opportunity to speak with the manager, who was incredibly helpful. Together, we managed to resolve the issue, and my mom has since felt much more at ease. Now, she lovingly embraces her gym sessions, exploring all the various equipment with enthusiasm--a significant milestone for someone who has never set foot in a gym before. One of her favorite aspects is the availability of showers, which we both appreciate after an invigorating workout. Additionally, the secure lockers provide peace of mind since they are positioned where you can keep an eye on your belongings at all times. What stands out is how the staff and fellow gym-goers consistently clean the machines after use, fostering a culture of respect and consideration. It's refreshing to see that all the equipment is well-maintained and in working order. Whenever something malfunctions, the staff is quick to respond, ensuring we can always make the most of our workout. Overall, our experience has been nothing short of fantastic. After giving up on the gym during 2020 and switching to home workouts, I've found a renewed sense of motivation and accountability. There's something invigorating about being in a gym environment and utilizing a wider variety of equipment than I have at home. I'm truly happy to be back and to share this journey with my mom and our neighbor. Of note, no pictures taken as it was very busy and being mindful of others privacy.“

“It's always nice to go. I like it better during times when there are fewer people, from 8 to 10am. It is a fairly complete gym. l“

“My wife has been training with Lindy for two years and had such awesome results, and decided to give it a try. I've been a cyclist for over a decade now and knew I had a lot of strength imbalances, but Lindy fixed it - almost from day one. After one session, I was completely sold and have signed on indefinitely. I've been training with her for over a year, and I'm stronger and faster on the bike, have better endurance, and best of all - no injuries this year. Highly recommend!“

“Great training sessions and better coaches. Rodrigo is a great coach. Truly recommend it.“

“I’ve been coming to the Endorphin Effect for almost 2 years. From day one I’ve felt welcome and encouraged to work out. The instructors are amazing and highly motivating!“

“Chelsea is cool. Her workouts rock! She carefully plans and executes workouts tailored to the specific client. She is very creative with what she does.“

“Update: I wrote my review prior to reading the other reviews. I have to say that I am shocked by the couple of negative reviews regarding FOCUS and NISRA. (And no-we are not getting a kickback for a favorable review-that is ridiculous.) We were on a waitlist through NISRA for a while before a spot opened up for our son. We were bummed, but understood that both entities needed to ensure that it was properly staffed for the number of participants. We attend each week with our son, and as stated below, could not be happier with the inclusive mindset of FOCUS. I also want to note that the NISRA volunteers work hard to get everyone to participate. We have never seen anyone left out. They are well staffed and highly qualified. Participants all work at their own level, but if a child is not participating, it is not for lack of trying on either end. Not all kids enjoy all activities and perhaps the child did not want to participate. We have recently moved to this area and could not be more pleased with the organization, cooperation and communication from NISRA. Everyone is human and mistakes can happen, but both organizations would likely be very happy to hear concerns in a constructive way. If you are considering NISRA or FOCUS, I highly recommend!

We have a son with a diagnosis of Down Syndrome who takes karate at Focus Martial Arts through NISRA. We cannot say enough about this amazing program. The owners and the instructors are among the most inclusive and welcoming people I have ever met. They genuinely care about kids and their progress. They break down concepts and skills so that our son understands, but they have high expectations for his growth. Our son has made improvements in karate, behavior, focus and school because of their leadership. We are so grateful and highly recommend!“

“Love this studio! Every instructor is fabulous, they work with each client at their level in small group classes or privately. Friendly, welcoming environment!“

“I absolutely love this gym. Clean, really nice top end equipment, and great customer service.Although I don’t even work at Bell works I still believe it’s worth it. I highly recommend if you are in the area to check it out and sign up.“
