This place is no frills but has everything you could ever need for a great workout and even classes. The trainers were very helpful and I was able to get a free day just for stopping in. It was nice to walk in and see people at all different fitness levels and none of the pretentiousness that the chicago clubs wreak of. I was able to get in a really solid workout, in an hour and didn't have to wait on any equipment. Definitely, a great gym to check out!

This place is great! Good staff, amazing gym...etc, but the reason I am writing this is because…read moreunless you love basketball, there is nothing else you can do for open gym. Last year, they used to have 5-10 open gym volleyball days a month, however now, I see 1-2, IF ANY. Now this may not be a big concern for many, however it is unfair to all of the people who play volleyball because there is no other place to go. Please change this, make more volleyball days.

The Sunset fitness center is closed for a week so I migrated over to the Stephan Persinger center…read moretoday. I enjoy Sunset because it is more intimate and some of the people at Sunset have been there forever. The clientele at Persinger is younger and part of the neighboring community. The fitness/community center literally looks like a modern barn on the outside. Inside you will find much of the same fitness equipment you will find at Sunset. Persinger has a basketball court and a walking/running track you will not find at Sunset. Persinger has upstairs meeting rooms with an elevator. Sunset has a training room and a racketball court. My personal preference is Sunset because I feel it is more intimate than Persinger. Because of this I give Persinger four stars and Sunset five stars.

It has been a long time since I have been to Midtown Martial Arts, but I will never forget it…read more Master Richard Temmerman was a father figure to me when I had none. He taught me discipline, respect, and compassion. He also taught me how to defend myself. I have had to use my training before for self defense.. and to this day, I am extremely thankful to Midtown Martial Arts and Master Temmerman. The classes here were hard when I took them years ago. On day one, I couldn't do a push-up. By the time I got my black belt, I was doing pretty decent push-ups on my knuckles. I was able to break a wooden board in half with my bare foot. I was able to do so much! I learned for the first time that I was more than just a chubby redheaded kid. I was strong. I could do anything I set my mind to. I have since moved across the country and gotten married and started my own life. But I will never forget Master Temmerman, his lovely wife, and stepsons who were all so very friendly and helped me through my journey. Seeing that Midtown Martial Arts had no reviews on Yelp made me sad. I don't think I will be returning to Elburn anytime soon, but I will always have great memories of this Tae Kwon Do studio.

A great experience! I would highly recommend They took the…read moretime to listen to my concerns.

The Geneva location is small, so it's mainly for individual visits. This location in Elburn is much larger with one main room that is for group sessions, including yoga, Pilates, and more. Stephanie is great. She runs both locations and really knows the power of energy and energy healing.

If you go to SAA you will accomplish whatever goals you want to achieve regarding your fitness…read more This place has top notch trainers who are well versed in many training techniques and methods with an amazing community of members who motivate each other to achieve their goals. I started at Superior in 2012, the summer before my junior year of high school. I originally wanted to work on my strength and speed as I was working towards furthering my baseball career in high school and college. I saw results after training with Will and Boone for a few months and solidified myself on the varsity baseball roster with the extra power I gained in my arm and my bat. I ended up leading the team in multiple batting categories my junior and senior year and acquired multiple looks from DI and DIII baseball programs. After my senior year, I was accepted to the Coast Guard Academy and earned a spot on their baseball roster while concurrently serving in the military. The strength that I gained from SAA helped me during boot camp and got me through that with ease. Fast forward to 2018, I recently moved back to Chicago and got involved in Olympic Weightlifting. I had a sound basis of the technique that I learned all the way back in 2012 when I first trained at SAA, but I had not trained full time for a while. I wanted to find a program that I could get personal feedback from while having a tailored and individualized workout made for me. I was confident that the coaches could bring me to another level with my lifting abilities. So I decided to take a chance and see what I could learn with the coaches at SAA. I started training with Will and Kurt in August of 2018 and I have seen tremendous gains in my technique, strength, and volume that I can lift. My lifts have gone up various amounts, and I have learned so much about training methods, technique, recovery, and programming with the coaches here. I came in clean and jerking 127kg/279lb, and SAA has helped me get to a 140kg/308lb clean and 151kg/332lb jerk. My squats have increased by 10kg/22lb in the back squat and 15kg/33lb in the front squat. I feel stronger, and I can handle much more volume in training than when I came into SAA in August of 2018. My technique has improved immensely, and I consistently receive feedback on how to lift better. Overall, the community at SAA is hard to beat. Everyone knows each other and motivates one another to reach their goals. The atmosphere is a great place to train and learn in. Everyone is there to help, and the coaches put a lot of time and effort into writing each workout and explaining each part to you. I have felt that if I ever have a problem with any part of the lifts, I can come to any one of the coaches and ask them how to fix it. I am looking forward to the future with SAA, and I am proud to be part of this community.
