Tommaso is amazing. If you're looking for someone to motivate you, inspire you and help you change…read moreyour body, he's your guy. He is excellent at designing workouts and he has so much positive energy that it rubs off on you. I have always been active, but losing my job, then being on lockdown with a toddler threw me off my game. The gyms were closed, the weather was nasty, and I just couldn't motivate myself to do workouts at home. I gained weight and felt sluggish. I was not myself. That's when I found Tommaso and helped me turn things around. At first, I was not excited about the concept of a virtual trainer. I didn't think it would be much better than a workout video. Boy was I wrong! I signed up for the assessment and decided to have an open mind. After that first session I was really encouraged. I was amazed at how well Tommaso could identify what was going on with my body all through my iPad screen. For example, he could tell that my right side was weaker and knew that I had an old injury on that side without me telling him. He also radiated positivity and talked about mind and body, not just about training or losing weight. I took the plunge and signed up to work with him for 3 months minimum. Now 5 months later, I'm so happy I made that decision. He has helped me transform my body and feel good again. If you're thinking about working with him, just do it! You won't be sorry.

I was looking for a personalized holistic training approach including physical workouts and…read morenutritional 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.

Back in Dec 2012, my girlfriend and I were both thinking "We really need to start doing something…read moreabout working out." We had become aware of BFit b/c I had been doing serious web research into gyms in the area. We had already been to check out Oak Park Tennis Club, and I had previously been a member at FFC, and we were considering some other things like an independent spinning class. We were trying to find something that would be not only affordable, but effective at keeping us on track. We decided to walk by BFit on one of our walks, to see what it's like. When we walk by they were finishing a class, so we didn't want to walk in necessarily, just peek at the services they offered on the door, but one of the staff there saw us looking and invited us in. That was the beginning of a wonderful 8 months of Personal Training with Darryl. We only went once a week, which is too little to actually lose a lot of weight without doing anything else, but we still went from huffin-and-puffin after no-more than 20 situps at the start, to working through 2-3 sets of 70 situps, not to mention all the squats, squat kicks, TRX, and crazy-things-Darryl-would-invent-on-the-fly-that-we-never-could-have-conceived-of-on-our-own that we did. Darryl was always very positive, cheerful, inventive, motivating, real, and funny. As Darryl will tell you, "he's got jokes" :). Darryl regularly pushed our limits, but also respected them - if i mentioned that something didn't feel right, he changed up the exercise, and could always take into account my bad knees. We moved away from Oak Park back in April, we have kept going to Darryl for over 4 months, but eventually, distance and scheduling has just gotten to be too much of a hassle for my girlfriend and me (not Darryl's fault, he was always super accomodating with our schedules). And so, alas, we are left to find something else nearer to us that's as good. In addition to Darryl, with whom we built a strong relationship, all the staff at BFit is awesome. My girlfriend took a couple group classes as well, and it is just such a wonderfully friendly place to truly workout, and get your butt kicked. We credit Darryl with kickstarting our fitness and being a wonderful human being in the process. We'll miss you Darryl! - T&G

This place is absolutely amazing! Lynette and her team of fitness professionals are upbeat,…read morepositive, fun, motivational and all around winners! I've been attending the Saturday morning bootcamp - 7:45AM for $9 cash - and I see and feel a difference in my body and my spirit. They encourage you to push yourself while being respectful of your limitations and instructing you to listen to what your body is telling you. There are ALL age ranges, ALL fitness levels, ALL body types and EVERYONE is made to feel welcome and part of the party. It's inclusive, diverse and fun! And this is a serious bootcamp, so you will sweat and work hard and get your work-out money's worth, so make sure to bring a little towel and a bottle of water (or you can buy one there). I really like that you don't have to make a long-term commitment with a membership and can pay by the class. They do have package-deals that offer savings, but I haven't taken advantage of them. If there's any drawback it would be that the space is a bit smallish, so the bootcamp experience may seem a little chaotic to someone more accustomed to Bally's, YMCA or Fitness Formula Club, but Lynette and her team make the space work. I have been a member at all of the places mentioned above and I will say that BFit is by far and away the most fun, most challenging, most positive work out I've ever had. Honestly, this is a fantastic place with great people and positive energy! If you want to get beach-body ready or just need to move a bit more and want to have fun while you're doing it, this is the place to go!

I like the classes here for a variety of reasons They change up the exercises regularly, help you modify to your ability level, push you, and the instructors are very nice and helpful. However, the thing I like most about Hit It is the personal training. I really wanted to make some changes in myself, so I decided to sign up for personal training. I had already met the owner, Constance, and some members of her staff when they were out marketing this new location, and I read on Facebook about the great results many other Oak Parkers had gotten by working with her years ago when she worked in Oak Park at another gym. I am currently getting personal training with Constance and Jeanine, and they are both kind, helpful, smart, and excellent at teaching me how to do things correctly. Plus, I have changed my diet and my usual everyday workouts based on their recommendations. I highly recommend Hit it Fitness!

But, 2 of those things (community and staff) can only get you so far when you're paying a ton of money. Since I've been going to FFC (about 7 years total?) and starting at Elmhurst, it was pretty good. The cost, from the beginning has been high - but, what you get in return is less of a crowd. With that being said, FFC Oak Park has hit me with a monthly increase per year since I've been there and I don't think I can do it much longer. It's unfortunate because its a decent gym but, I've never been to a gym ( and I've been to quite a few ) where the monthly payment has increased yearly.
