LGN Performance is THE best gym I have ever attended. All the workouts are designed in a group…read moreclass format and consist of circuits with exercises that focus on strength, agility, speed and flexibility. The group classes make it so you have constant encouragement and motivation and coaches who can monitor and guide you as you go. The coaches are experts who will scaled anything down or up based on your ability or injuries. Safety and proper technique are a priority with all the coaches. They will fix your technique until you are doing the moves properly: you then realize how much better and more safely you are performing. I got faster, stronger and I learned so many new exercises that kept me from getting bored and that got me to whole new level of fitness. Everyone encourages each other, you'll never be in a class where you don't hear motivating, encouraging words and cheering from the other members. There's always a great mix of levels so you can find others with similar abilities, but it really doesn't matter what your level is as long as you try and are willing to learn. The cool thing about LGN is that they also offer spin classes. Tina, one of the coaches, leads the spin classes and they are AWESOME. I've taken spin at about 6 different gyms and this is by far my favorite one. It's not fancy- but Tina has excellent taste in music that keeps you going until the last minute and she varies the workouts to push you juuuuust to the last ounce of energy you have and then back down to recover. She has endless energy and is super knowledgeable about anything fitness-related. I moved to Chicago so I unfortunately had to stop going to LGN (I honestly did keep going for a while because that's how much I loved it, but the commute was too much). Not a day goes by that I don't miss the fun, challenging workouts and all the friends I made. Definitely check it out if you're in the area!

Crossfit LGN in South Elgin, IL is a great Crossfit gym. I look forward to each and every day I get…read moreto visit this gym. The workouts are always both challenging and rewarding. The facility is kept clean and the equipment is top notch. The coaches at Crossfit LGN are phenomenal. Each one is very well trained in both exercise and nutrition. They are more than willing to answer your questions about the exercises, stretching or proper nutrition and they always make you feel welcome. Since joining Crossfit LGN my Olympic weight lifting has greatly improved, running has become easier and my Crossfit workouts are getting faster. The people that workout here are the best. Always friendly, supportive and driven. They really help push you when you need it during those tough Crossfit workouts!

Dr. Stu is one of the most personable, experienced and knowledgable chiropractors and athletic…read moretrainers I know. As my chiropractor, he keeps me well-informed about the treatment he gives me, taking the time to answer all my questions. I have always felt great as a result of his adjustments. I personally know other patients that Dr. Stu has helped recover from serious injury: My father, who had lost most of his shoulders range of motion due to a pinched nerve, was able to recover to normal function after receiving treatment from Dr. Stu and following his physical therapy regiment. I was really impressed with Dr. Stu's new training facility at Paradigm. It is spacious, clean, and well-equipped for athletic training. Most of all, Paradigm designed to meet a wide-range of personal fitness and performance training needs. My favorite feature of the facility is the synthetic grass field--perfect for sprints, cross-training and simulating field-sport athletics (eg. soccer, football). I highly recommend Dr. Stu for anyone who is looking to enhance their fitness or athletic performance, rehab sports injury, or lose weight & feel great.

Ok I will tell you this is an AMAZING gym! Or should I call it a "gem." The Owner is a professional…read morebody builder and HER name is Nilsa! Let me tell you she is NO JOKE! If you want to work on weight loss, getting in shape or even train to be a professional body builder Nilsa is your key to success...and of course YOUR HARD WORK! Losing weight is not easy folks, there is no magic pill, no QUICK way to get to your goal! Come in, like I did, overweight and I'm desperate need of a transformation. Change your diet, Nilsa can provide you with a specific training session built specifically for you with planned meals that you can make once a week to eat as the week goes on. Food is really our enemy out there folks...along with sugar and salt! It is too easy these days to eat poorly and guess what...that is at least 70% of your journey! Throw in working out 6 days a week, some cardio each day and the right diet and you will have the keys to the size you want to be! This IS NOT A SHORT OR QUICK JOURNEY!!! Do not have expectations that are not possible to meet! When you start a program look at it the terms of AFTER 12 MONTHS where will you be. I said it right, after 313 days(I took out your days off) is what you want to put in your mind. The people at this gym are amazing. There are some actual body builders here...I am, cough cough, not one of them but I serve H2O better than Bobby Boucher Jr! They will talk to you and encourage you when they see that you are consistent in your commitment. They have helped me already and folks I am not much more than a month into my transformation. Am I where I want to be..no way. Do I see improvement? Hell yes I do, I already lost a full pants size. It is your health, your life and your future. Stop thinking about it, call Nilsa and get your ass in here! You will truly thank yourself for the person that you have become when you get to your goal...and on the way to your goal is actually pretty freaking sweet too!

Best place ever! I have been training with David at EmpowerU Fitness for 7 months and it has been…read moreamazing. He is an amazing coach and really understands what I need. I loved him so much that my whole family now trains with him. You can tell he really knows his stuff and works really hard to help you hit your goals. I sought out a personal trainer to help me runner fast in a dog sport. I was slow and couldn't keep up. Now I am much more agile and my increased speed helps my dog run even faster now!

It wasn't the weight that bothered me. It was my inability to do various activities with my family. I choose to sign up for his 42 day program and lost 23 pounds. I kept working with David and lost another 29 pounds. The weight loss has been great; however, more important to me is how my life has changed. I'm off my blood pressure medication, I have signed up for a 5K, and can take my grandson on a 10 mile bike ride. My health and quality of life has significantly improved. I've never been hungry or felt any of the training was beyond my abilities. I have learned what it looks like to eat right and take care of myself. The small class size allows us to support one another. David made minor modifications to the exercises so I could build strength and accommodate the osteoarthritis in my knee. David has treated me with respect, demonstrated discretion, and worked with me to achieve what I felt was important. If you are looking for someone to work alongside you, to help you achieve what is important to you, David at EmpowerU fitness is absolutely the way to go!

They really care about their jobs and their members. They greet you by name, take the time to help with any questions or issues, and take member feedback seriously. They also have an on-site childcare offering (Kids Korner) that is FANTASTIC! I have been taking my children there for 7 1/2 years and 1 year respectively. The service, and especially the people, have been a godsend. They take such good care of my kids, and I am a very tough critic in this regard. Age appropriate activities, close supervision, engaged and caring staff, clean environment (I constantly see them cleaning surfaces and toys), and as a parent whose children have been going since they were small babies I appreciate the hygiene guidelines they enforce (no shoes, socks must be worn, hand sanitizer readily available, no sick children, etc).

It turns out by the 3rd class I was able to do things I never thought I could do. I am one of those people who sign up for a gym go once, maybe twice per week for awhile. After about a month of that I end up quitting because I am bored and keep thinking of other things that I should be getting done. I didn't put much effort into my workouts. But once I walked into Out of Body Fitness all of that changed. The staff is highly knowledgable with all aspects of fitness. Edgar and Tammy are truly AMAZING! I have been going for a couple of weeks and the changes I am seeing in myself are something I never thought possible. There are many people who say they are personal trainers but have little to no education as a trainer. That is not the case at Out of Body Fitness. These people are highly educated in the fitness field and know what works to take you from whatever level you are at physically and make you stronger, leaner, and healthier. I just wish I didn't waste all of those years at the gym and would of found them sooner. I love that they constantly change my exercises and are able to push me to the next level which is what shocks me the most. I walk out of there feeling so much stronger and healthier. I would encourage anyone who wants to see results quickly to go there.
