I never felt like he tried to oversell me on anything or keep me coming to unnecessary sessions. He simply cared about improving my quality of life, and he did just that. Highly recommend looking him up, if you're in need of someone who does more than just crack your back.

I went to Adam as a patient and then started doing his fitness classes, and I feel that I've made…read moresignificant improvements with both my posture and pain management. His approach is unique in that he works on healing problem areas along with preventing future injuries with a "pre-hab" approach. Adam also helped me incorporate different exercises that worked to improve joint issues I was having as a result of my back problems. One unexpected benefit I found from my sessions was improved balance. This worked great for my weekend on the beach when I gave paddle boarding a try!

Within several visits with him for manual therapy sessions and strengthening exercises, I was back in the gym feeling no pain.

I found Dr Caitlin as a recommendation from my triathlon community. I had previously seen another…read morepelvic floor physical therapist with my first two pregnancies but felt that I would benefit from working with a pelvic floor PT who was also an endurance athlete and very familiar with the load of training. And was I right! Working with Dr Caitlin has been absolute phenomenal - she's not only helped me return to running safely after my third child was born, but she's so good at being able to identify what are the root causes of my ailments. I see her regularly to address the random woes that appear each week and it's time well spent. She really takes the time to listen to what you're telling her and you can actively see the gears turning as she comes up with new ideas and modifications. In addition to manual work, we've also done cupping and dry needling - both of which have really helped in addressing some of my long standing woes. I highly recommend Dr Caitlin to anybody who is looking for care!

First and foremost...I'm not a runner nor an athlete, however I do have an active lifestyle. The…read moreteam at Optimal Performance is top notch. Whenever I have an issue, they are the first phone call. Dr Ryan is a true healer. He is knowledgeable about his practice and has a superb bedside manner. He tries to get to the root of the issue not just correcting the symptom. That is really important to me. I always leave with 'homework'. I appreciate that they give you exercises to help me improve & heal even more after the session. I've come to the point where I'm just in need of a monthly tune up! Don't sleep on this care team...they'll get you feeling & moving better.

Disclosure: I did graduate from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition with Heather, BUT I…read morepersonally feel compelled to tell the Yelp world how awesome of a coach she is. Heather brings everything to the table that you could want from a health coach--someone who has alleviated her own health symptoms and built her health coaching talents on top of an already solid foundation in therapy and counseling. Even though I am a certified health coach, I actually hired Heather to help me through my bad time management skills which caused me to eat poorly, which caused me to stress and caused weight to find its way back onto my frame. It was messy, but Heather attacked my issues one by one. She kept me on track with recommendations that were new to me and easy to follow. With her accountability & support, I've significantly slimmed down my grocery bills, Google calendar, waist and my cooking/prep times with her quick tips. I also attended her sugar workshop and, once again, she taught me new things and how to appreciate naturally sweet foods more than before. (Little known secret: Heather makes a mean gift bag for attendees!) So don't even hesitate to do the sugar workshops and sign up for coaching sessions. If she could teach this old health coach new tricks, then new clients will be nothing short of completely transformed.

I liked Heather's (the health coach) approach - she was very down-to-earth and didn't encourage people to completely cut out sweets; rather, she presented information on a variety of natural sweeteners. She also gave out healthy snacks and recipes which was awesome! Additionally, I was able to receive a health history which gave me a good perspective on my past and current habits. This is a great place!

Working with Claudia over the course of six EFT sessions was truly transformative. From the very…read morebeginning, she created a safe and supportive space where I felt seen, heard, and understood. Her intuitive guidance was incredible--she was able to gently but accurately pinpoint emotional triggers that I hadn't fully recognized on my own. Through tapping, I began to notice real shifts in how I processed my emotions. Situations at my workplace that once felt overwhelming became much more manageable as I worked through them using the tools and awareness Claudia helped me develop. I experienced a sense of clarity, calm, and emotional release that made a tangible difference in my day-to-day life. Claudia has a unique gift for blending intuition with EFT in a way that feels both grounding and empowering. I'm so grateful for the progress I've made through our sessions and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to heal, gain insight, and move forward with greater peace and confidence.

I have always had a difficult relationship with food and dieting. Thanks to Claudia I've found even deeper levels to why I have difficulties.

GH takes a totally different approach to weight loss & working out and I am a huge fan!…read more GH does not encourage high-intensity, high-octane workouts. Instead, the trainers (I tend to think of them more like life coaches) focus on incorporating fitness & healthy living into your everyday life. They emphasize a combination of cardio and strength training that leaves you feeling wobbly (in the best way possible) without feeling like you've just torn up every muscle in your body. They also look at your eating habits and help you to make better choices about what you put in your body. They understand that everyone approaches food in a different way (ie the 'emotional eater' vs the 'I don't really care what I eat' eater) and they work with you to figure out how to make changes to your eating habits that you'll be able to keep for longer than a few weeks. I never felt ashamed or embarrassed to say 'Well, I had a burger and fries with my friends last night'. They understand that most people can't change everything about the way they eat overnight, and they're totally willing to work with you to come up with a plan that you'll be able to follow. I love that GH is different from a typical gym. Their studio is bright and open and as a woman, I really appreciate that there are not a bunch of giant sweaty guys in the corner, lifting weights and grunting & yelling. I'd go so far as to say it's probably the most tranquil gym I've ever been to, yet I still feel inspired to work out when I'm there. Overall I think it's a great place and I would highly recommend it for anyone who is not necessarily a fan of more traditional gyms.

After 3 months of training, my back is in better shape than it's been in years. I also feel more awake during the day, and sleep deeper at night than ever before. My overall muscle tone is more defined and my posture is better. This is not your typical training facility. Every trainer greets you by name as you walk in the door. The facility is always clean and puts you in a relaxing mood as jazz music plays over the speakers. The goal at GH Fitlab is not to send you home exhausted and sweating profusely. The goal is to slowly and carefully isolate each muscle so every muscle in your body is working in unison with each other. My trainer Dan is 100% focused on me and my overall well being. I can tell that every trainer is passionate about what they do and take great pride in their work. They are not making up workouts as they go like most trainers. There is a clear structure and approach and that makes all the difference. The price for a personal training session is comparable to anywhere else in Chicago. Compared to a gym membership, it's more expensive. But you are getting a professional, experienced personal trainer twice per week for 60 minutes and the value proposition is incredible!

Home fitness equipment repair…read more Second time around that I've turned to Direct Fitness to repair my elliptical machine. Less than a day turnaround from my initial call to completed repair for about $100. The guy doing the repairs called to give me the heads up for his visit and was done in about 15 minutes. It was nice to see that he respected my time, as you can wait forever on house calls. Kramer's standoff with the cable guy anyone? Outside of jumping on the machine and working out, I know little about it. They were quick and helpful in keeping it maintained and that's fine with me.

So great to talk to professionals and not just some random guy trying to sell sell sell at another big box fitness store. We will be in touch when we expand our home gym. All the best!
