Two month ago I started exercising with Laura as my trainer…read more Not having exercised for a long time I was apprehensive but when I met and got to know her I knew that she was the perfect coach for me. She is professional yet kind, patient and understanding. After short period of time I am pleased with my progress and feel assured that with her continued training and encouragement I would continue getting good results and attain my goal. Some weeks it is hard to stay motivated. Laura has really kept us moving. She is very personable and knowledgeable. Her cheerful attitude makes the training time go quickly. Laura has been an inspiration.

I live in NYC where gyms are closed due to covid, and I train with her virtually 2x/week and in person when I am visiting Chicago. Her focus on correct form and mind/body connection is like no other, and each workout is better than the last. Laura spends time to learn about each client, their goals, and creates a dedicated plan that will ensure success. Not only is she so professional, she is down to earth, kind, funny, motivating and makes you feel so welcome as if we've been friends for years. She truly is the best of the best! I can't recommend her enough!

The trainer I was assigned with is a perfect fit for me. So they really do listen and pay attention to your wants and needs. Prices are competitive and fair.

I want to begin by saying if you have specific strength goals this definitely is the place to go…read more This facility is amply equipped with the essentials necessary to improve strength, agility and endurance. Athletes, this is an ideal place for you. If you're looking for a wide variety of selectorized units and other shiny objects you might be a little disappointed. Now if looking to build a body thats both fit and strong Evolution most certainly deserves a look. Personally this place has incredible potential if they ever decided to expand to a more "traditional" gym. But then again that's what makes this place special.

I cannot say enough good things about IzzyFit. I'll write out a lot more details below, but the…read morebottom line is Izzy is wonderful and I highly recommend working with her. I started with Izzy 2 years ago, and can easily say it is one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself and my health. Prior to this, I had never been very physically active and I had always been pretty wary of gyms, trainers, etc. When I set up an appointment to meet Izzy, I was very unsure about starting and worried about embarrassing myself when working out. From my first day meeting with Izzy, not only did my cautiousness/hesitancy around personal training quickly begin to fade, but I became excited about training with her each week and building strength. Two years later, and I see Izzy twice a week for personal training and wish I could go more often. Izzy's knowledge, infectious enthusiasm, and dedication make each training session fun and motivating. She continuously shifts and updates my workout program so that I'm always engaged, challenged, and building strength and new skills. She is fantastic at modifying exercises so that they best fit my body's ability. Overall, I've learned so much about my body and how it moves over the last two years, and I can now move and lift so much more than I ever have been able to (e.g. band-assisted pull-ups, push-ups, deadlifts, and much, much more). In addition to physical gains, I also feel more comfortable in my body and more confident in my body's strength and abilities. IzzyFit is also great because of the community involved in training with Izzy. She often has two people train together for each session (although they are each doing their individualized training program). This really builds a sense of community and support around working out. She also owns and trains at TruFit, which is easily the most welcoming, body positive gym I've been to. The trainers are friendly, experienced, and encouraging, and the clientele are diverse. The gym makes clear efforts to be inclusive and to support the community. As part of this, there are ongoing fundraising opportunities to support the gym in providing personal training scholarships. All in all, I highly recommend contacting IzzyFit if you are looking for a great personal training experience. :)

When my fiancée (now husband) and I moved from NYC to Chicago almost six years ago, we agreed that…read morehaving a personal trainer to get fit for the wedding was worth the financial splurge. We both were experiencing a lot of change (e.g. new jobs, new city, and wedding/marriage); and to us, maintaining our physical health was critical to managing all the stress. What we didn't expect was to have fun along the way! Every week, my husband and I looked forward to our Izzy workouts. Not only did we feel good physically, but we felt like a team. There is nothing better than hearing both your trainer and your spouse call out "You can do it!" as you conquer a hard workout. Izzy's creative, fun exercises had proven results. Both my husband and I felt perfect on our special day. (Thanks, Izzy. ) Fast forward to current state, I still work out with Izzy. She always finds a way to fit me in and/or be creative with our schedules. Izzy understands that training isn't just about getting physically fit. It's about helping a client be the best version of themselves.

Let me start this review off by saying it may be completely biased given my experience because of…read morethe health journey I've been on as of late. I have been in and out of the gym for nearly two decades now and have had serious commitment issues when it comes to working out at an establishment. I believe that had a lot to do with the gyms I would attend as I could never find what felt like the right fit. This was the first location that I started to feel comfortable and was the most consistent with. It did get busier throughout the year because of the special they offered for teens during the school free months/summer but still had a good experience. I enjoy this location the most because of their friendly staff that stays on top of cleaning and refilling the towel paper dispensers. They also offer hydromassage and LED red light therapy for black card members at this location. Both are a great fit for my body and skin! They also have one of the best gym layouts in my opinion. COMPLETELY different vibes from alternate gyms. Most people attending here are really focused on themselves (me included) and really don't feel so judged as past experiences. Because of the great vibes I'm now down 20 lbs and have been the most consistent I've ever been to date. Can't thank them enough for being the starting point/kick off of self/life 180 improvement. They really deserve so much more credit !

This is a 24 hour gym by the Village Crossing mall. The owner, Dan, is very friendly and gave me a…read morelittle tour. The gym isn't huge but it also wasn't terribly busy at the time I went.

I decided to get a gym membership at anytime fitness, because my health insurance allows me to go…read moreto multiple gyms. Plus I wanted an option in case I had to fight a case of insomnia and couldn't go to sleep, and I need it to work out in the middle of the night. This anytime fitness is located near the Village Crossing Mall, off to the side on Central Avenue, away from the other stores. The person who registered me was super nice and friendly and gave me a tour of the place. The size of the gym is somewhat small, I would compare to a couple steps up from a hotel gym but slightly bigger. In terms of the equipment, it has several cardio machines, and a few squat racks, which doubles as a bench press if you set the height and bench properly. There's also some free weights, and free benches as well. What I look for at a gym is a place to do squats, deadlifts, bench press, and overhead press. Everything else is a bonus. They do have several machines, but nothing too serious for a good leg workout. But overall it gets the job done. There is no locker room per se, but there is three private bathrooms, which includes a sink, shower, and toilet. Overall, I would go here and recommend, if you're looking for a place that is 24 hours, but not as busy like an Xsport, with average equipment.

I would go back to try it again.

I didn't want to pay for something that I wasn't going to be able to use. I eventually signed up for 4 classes per month, thinking that was feasible and a good compromise. Unfortunately the classes I can make are always waitlisted. I was told that they usually clear but I haven't been so lucky. And I can't book another class with the same credit while I'm waiting. That is annoying. I also have to book my 4 before my billing date and that is annoying also! I see classes available in the following week that will fit in my schedule, but I can't book them until after my billing date. By then they will be full!! I love Pilates but I'm really on the face due to all of the restrictions. Ugh!!
