Having always struggled with my weight, I was intimidated to go to the gym and work with the weights. I would stay within my comfort zone and with bike or walk on a treadmill. Man that sure changed! I LOVE lifting! I LOVE feeling strong! I've lost weight and several inches, learned to eat more protein and it helps with my mental health too! The Ladies Lifting Club is judgement free, motivating and a wonderful community of like minded women. We have FUN too! Don't be afraid to take the first step, you will be so glad you did!

Regardless of your fitness level, the trainers here will help cater every exercise and movement to be right for you.

Since High School I have joined gyms to "workout" would start going and then just stop--wasted money on personal trainers to just make excuse after excuse of why I can't continue to go. At IE Fitness it's more than a gym--it's a place of accountability and friendship. I actually look forward to working out! I highly recommend IE fitness for personal training and group workouts!

I will give it a few more months before updating but haven't been able to take all instructors yet to give it 5-stars. They also opened a 2nd location in Burr Ridge in December that I look forward to trying.

We're both retired and my wife and I have been coming here, enrolled in the semi-private lesson program, for almost 6 months. There has been a notable improvement in both of our strength, balance and endurance. Most importantly neither of us has hurt ourselves under the guidance of Mark, Jenn & Tommy. If you want a gym with no coaching this may not be the right place, but if you want coaches who really do their job and protect you from injury and guide you in proper form, etc. then this is the right gym for you. Group lessons are also available at a lower price point if that suits you better. It isn't cheap compared to a basic, run of the mill gym, with zero supervision or guidance, but you get what you pay for. What's the price tag on good health and being able to actively go thru the day doing what you want AND avoiding injuries and the side effects of bad health? I'll bet in the end this is MUCH less expensive!!

As a guy, I wasn't quite sure what to expect initially from Pilates - but what I've learned from…read morethe talented and experienced instructors at the Pilates Core is that this body conditioning system can be truly transformative and, despite current stereotypes, is not just for women. There are plenty of articles that explore this in greater depth, but suffice to say that I've really enjoyed the physical challenges and rewards of Pilates. I HIGHLY recommend the Pilates Core, whether you're just starting out (as I did 18 months ago) or if you're an advanced practitioner. The Romana's Pilates-certified instructors are friendly but also push/motivate to maximize your workout. When I started, I was pretty strong but really inflexible, and they've been able to focus on developing greater flexibility as well as core strength development. Why do I continue to study at the Pilates Core? -Romana's Pilates Certification: In short, I trust that my instructors are experienced, educated, and authentic. -The Results: In combination with a change in diet, I lost more than 30 pounds (5'10", went from 190+lbs. to 160 lbs.) after beginning Pilates, and have developed greater core strength and increased flexibility. I owe a lot to Pilates, as it reinforces the body-mind connection and has been a major component of my health-conscious lifestyle. -The Value: Again, this is authentic Pilates, and I'm fortunate to be able to study under such a quality program. I see myself continuing as a lifelong Pilates student.

Romana Kryzanowska was a student of Joseph Pilates himself (his protege); therefore, the Pilates taught here is extremely true to its original form. (Beware of Pilates classes at gyms and rec centers--they are often NOT true to the original.) The Pilates Core offers classes (mat, reformer, and other) at varying levels as well as private instruction. I have done both and found all of the instructors to be very attentive and friendly. They will challenge you but will also be mindful of your needs. I originally started Pilates here to assist me with physical therapy for an injury - not only did I get stronger and healthier, but I got hooked! I've been a student here for over 3 years now. Pilates is an extraordinary way to get stronger, leaner, and healthier. I think it's great regardless of your athletic ability, gender, size, or even if you have had an injury--they will meet you were you're at and you'll progress from there. I have never felt better, and I owe so much of it to The Pilates Core! They also have plenty of evening and weekend availability for those of us with day jobs, and I have found them to be extremely accommodating in terms of scheduling.
