I've been lifting weights for 30 years. After so many years in the gym I started to just go through…read morethe motions. It wasn't exciting anymore, but I needed to do it. A few months ago, after only being able to stretch because of injuries, I decided I needed to make a change. I chose Ryan to be my trainer because of his weightlifting knowledge and passion to help people better themselves through fitness. He was able to quickly and easily identify muscle imbalances and is helping me correct them. My workouts are exciting again and I look forward to going to the gym. He's been able to make a substantial amount of improvement in my strength and mobility in a very short time. I look forward to continued progress with Ryan.

Ryan Taylor is an exceptional trainer. He is incredibly knowledgeable on body health and fitness…read moretechnique, and he's very motivating to work with. I had been putting off training for years after a burst disc in my back. I was concerned that by lifting weights again, I would further injure myself. At the same time, I had chronic back pain, and I walked around with a hunch. I picked Ryan to be my trainer because he has an extensive background in the mechanics of body movement (kinesiology), personal fitness and training. This proved to be an amazing choice for my specialized needs. Ryan is very knowledgeable on spine health, and he modified exercises to help re-train my core and back muscles. He also focuses on flexibility and strength throughout the body, rather than focusing on a particular set of muscles. I'm now much more flexible, strong and pain free. I feel fantastic, and I don't worry about pushing my body in a way that would injure myself. Ryan is also very organized, and he has a background in nutrition. His planning was very detailed, and he focuses on overall health. Finally, Ryan's a very nice and personable guy. I always look forward to my workouts with him.

Tailored Strength has been a game changer for me. I work 1:1 with Nik who is a quiet genius of his…read morecraft. I love a highly varied workout routine and Nik mixes it up every time in a very thoughtful way. It's never slogging through the same sets-- it's making steady progress on strength areas but coming at them in different, dynamic ways. (If more regimented routine is your thing he does that too of course). He's got a really chill energy that makes my visits to TS such a welcome break in my day. I've been working with him through my first pregnancy (I'm now 7 months) and I'm in my 40s so was nervous about what toll this pregnancy would take on my body. I couldn't be happier with the results. I've had zero back pain, zero leg cramps, really none of the musculoskeletal maladies that people so frequently experience in pregnancy. My weight gain has been right on track and feels healthy not out of control. I think working out has kept my other symptoms to a minimum too (nausea, insomnia, moods, and the whole list of delightful things one looks forward to in pregnancy have all been totally manageable in the great scheme of things). I've kept my conditioning up even as my belly's gotten bigger and heavier, and I have even built strength during this period. Even this late in pregnancy, I am striding and out and about, and am not "waddling." People are telling me all the time how great and healthy I look. I truly credit all of this to the steady work I've been able to do with Nik. I am confident that I am doing everything I can for my baby's health and my health with Nik's help. Some other notes: The gym is a perfect size-- has a great amount of space, lots of different equipment, but is not massive or impersonal. (I've worked out at other gyms that were either too small to comfortably accommodate all clients, or too big for my preferences. Don't want to feel like I'm in a warehouse). I get the sense that the folks at TS meter how many folks are in the space at once so it's never been over subscribed when I've been there-- good hum of activity but good availability of equipment. The community of other trainers in the space is wonderful. They are fun, upbeat, positive, warm, and inclusive. They are invested in fostering a community. Couldn't recommend this business enough for folks who want to invest in their longevity and health.

When I first came to Nikholas at Tailored Strength, I was suffering with a lingering knee injury…read morefrom pickleball that six weeks of physical therapy couldn't fully fix. Not only did he help me regain strength and mobility beyond what I achieved in PT, but he also prepared me to conquer my first Hustle Stair Climb--I was not fully mentally ready but the strength and endurance that I've gained ensured that I accomplished a goal I previously thought I couldn't! My brain fog has lifted, my energy is soaring and I continue to hit new milestones in strength and flexibility every week. What sets Nikholas apart is his dedication and genuine care. He doesn't just coach during sessions--he checks in post-workout to make sure I optimize recovery and keeps me accountable to nutrition and protein goals. As a former athlete himself, I appreciate how he uses his real world experience to tailor every session to how my body feels, making progress feel achievable no matter how I'm feeling when it starts and even when he's pushing me way harder than I'd ever push myself. But the magic doesn't stop with Nikholas. Tailored Strength's boutique gym culture is a game-changer. The trainers--Nikholas, Ryan, Joe, and Drew--rotate leading semi-private classes, and their collective expertise creates an environment where every athlete is seen, coached, and motivated. They prioritize proper form and weight selection to ensure that whether we're newbies to strength training or seasoned athletes, we're challenged while crushing our goals safely. This isn't just a gym--it's a community that celebrates progress and champions injury-free training. If you want a trainer (and a gym family) that truly invests in your success, look no further. Nikholas and Tailored Strength have leveled up fitness for me--10/10, would recommend!

This is the absolute best gym ever in Chicago and anywhere and best of all you are supporting a local business rather than a corporate gym. Adam Dicker, the owner, is hands down the best personal trainer, coach, workout instructor there is. I have worked out with him for 3 years now and the results have been incredible, I lost over 30 lbs from when I started and have the strength, muscle, and build that I thought I could only ever dream of from when I began. The other trainers here including Tom, Katie, Matt, among others are fantastic and if you are looking to learn a new skill whether it be strength training, boxing, Muy Thai or Jiu Jitsu you will learn it here and enjoy it immensely in the process. The new Elston location is beautiful with an aesthetically pleasing studio offering any equipment you would want to have the best workout . All in a super clean, uncrowded, and supportive environment. I can't say enough great things about Adam, as he has helped me so much with self-confidence, pushing me to the limits of a tough workout that I would not be able to do on my own, and given me the build I dreamed of. He is also the most genuine, nicest guy ever creating the perfect balance of friendly, but tough in the workout so you get the results you want. 11/10 recommend this gym, Adam, and all the trainers here. It has become my favorite place and second home.
