She also is very knowledgeable about all things fitness/nutrition related. Cam, Yadi, and Matt are also some of the best trainers.

PROS: The staff! Really their best asset is their friendly…read morestaff members who get to know you. This includes wonderful trainers who can take you from zero to hero as far as someone who NEVER works out, to someone who can develop a fitness routine. Programs: Lots of great programs like Tennis-In-No-Time, swim lessons for kids, and as I said before, great trainers you can book to achieve your personal goals. Tons of equipment to choose from in a bright, open space. Some regulars you can get to know and learn techniques from. CONS: Pool area feels too "open". Don't need peep windows all around the pool. I felt weird swimming in there so I never did. Close it off. Management change up/corporate vibe. Don't let you even hold your account for a month now (even though they used to). It's a pricey, luxury gym with clients that pay more to get more so making people jump through tons of hoops to hold a month for travel, work, etc doesn't gel with that vibe. If you give a months notice this should allow plenty of time to adjust staffing. You have to pay extra for a lot of stuff, so in order to use a lot of what really makes a gym like this worth the extra $ in the first place, you have pay EVEN MORE. Otherwise you are mostly utilizing equipment, classes, and such that you can get at other gyms for way less.

THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST MANAGED GYM OUT THERE! After being a Member for 6 years now, the General…read moreManager, in conjunction with the Lifetime Customer Relations employee, decided to have my Membership suspended for calling her out on how she does not enforce ALL the policies at this location! She is allowed to pick and choose which policy she enforces. When it comes to having kids hangout in the lifting areas or in bathrooms it's a total free for all. There are plenty of signs up that clearly state no gym bags in the lifting area but yet every other person you see has a bag on them. It literally feels like a High School upstairs with all the backpacks. And when I complained, she told me she is doing her best, and whenever I see the bags up there to tell her. When I did that, I was told I was trying too hard! Then they suspended my Membership because they do not want to have to enforce ALL of their own policies. There is literally only one entrance/exit and once you go upstairs you have to go back down in order to leave. Think about what people can bring in a big old duffle bag when no one is truly enforcing the bag policy. It's scary to even think about how unprofessional this club has been managed and the liabilities they have in front of them. The suspension of my Membership for asking them to enforce their own policies is discrimination. They are trying to silence Members instead of actually making change.

We get to the desk and a worker tells me I need to add another guest pass to my account for my buddy, no big deal, I have unlimited guest passes and another year on my membership. The desk asked for my buddy's ID so we could go work out. We did. And when we came back the counter people were acting like we did something wrong and were very hostile towards us. They were very mean to us like we snuck in the gym, but they had my buddy's ID and threatened to make us pay 20$ for us to get it back. The manager finally just accused me of lying and gave us the ID back, which is bogus because two of his employees told us we were fine to go work out without a guest pass. These people just want to sell to you even if they have to extort your money. Needless to say I'm cancelling my membership. Worst experience I've had at any gym, ever. Never going back. I felt so strongly about this I added this location on yelp. Do not go here.

There is 2 of every weight machine which is awesome so my best friend and I don't have to switch out between sets and can simultaneously work out. The bad part of this location is that it is very dirty. Floors are gross there is dust everywhere and walls and ledges are sticky. The charter I normally go to, is being cleaned by the staff every hour. I used to work in a fitness center for 4 years and we also did the same, clean every hour. Not only is the place dirty, but the machines look like they have never been wiped down and all the upholstery, I guess you would call it, is all ripped and torn apart. I guess I'm spoiled at the location I go to because they always replace it. Anyway, not stopping me from coming back. Just wish they would clean better.

The gym features a variety of classes (including cardio, strength training, etc.). I tried the "Gonna Make You Sweat" class--it is a good mix of cardio, strength training, and core work. The gym has all new equipment (treadmills, stair climbers, rowers, free weights, racks, etc.). The gym utilizes the latest technology in personalized fitness through the use of heart monitors. Each gym user has the option of wearing a heart rate monitor and the data is displayed on the gym screen during the workout session. The software actively tracks your heart rate in comparison to your target heart rate. At the end of the workout, you receive an email with your workout stats (e.g., average minimum and maximum heart rate, heart zones during the workout, etc.). The data links into the MAR fitness app on your smartphone, so you can track your stats workout-to-workout. The gym amentities include single user bathrooms (shower included) and lockers with built-in combination key pads. Ample parking given the gym's close proximity to the Downers Grove Downtown Parking Garage and the train station parking lot (available during the evening hours and on the weekends). Great for commuters and for those who want a fresh take on fitness!

After 11 months of pushing myself with the help of numerous trainers and advice, I gave Brian a try. Most of the trainers I had worked with were terrific in the weight room but knew "just enough" about nutrition. Brian is an expert in both. After months of being stuck in the same place, Brian took me to the next level. I lost 16lbs and 3% Body Fat during those 7 weeks. Was it easy?? HECK NO, but every day was a challenge and Brian was right there with me to keep me on track. Thank you, Brian, let's keep going!

I have worked out my entire life and tried at various times different trainers (privately, local…read moregyms, equinox etc.) None have worked out or I felt like gave me an edge up in my overall fitness pushing me to another level. Brian has hands-down given me that edge and provided me with a foundation for longevity, mobility, strength and conditioning. I came to him after my wife gave birth (I had gained 15-20 pounds when my wife was pregnant). I not only was out of shape, but also experiencing various pain in my hips and legs from my workouts (lack of stability strength on top of lots of running). I lost 25-30 pounds with Brian, but not only that - I now am in a much better position with my flexibility, strength and conditioning for extending my long-term health and fitness. This comes from a focus not only on workouts, but also on nutrition. Brian helps to shape workouts to your preference and helps to focus in on what is working and what is not with your eating habits. Losing weight becomes very easy - frankly, I now work to keep weight on! Finally, Brian is very knowledgeable and overall a great guy. He is easy to work with and accommodating to clients - especially those with demanding jobs (e.g. law, finance, etc.) Would highly recommend Brian!!

This atmosphere, which has been cultivated by owners, staff, and area patrons, is difficult to replicate in a big-box, chain gym. Aside from the overall vibe, I like that the people at Elite are upfront with regard to their pricing. There are no guessing games. Their rates are listed on their Web site. They also offer a ten punch card so you can try out the gym before you make a commitment. Those who workout at Elite seem to be connected members of the local community. I find that the clientele is friendly, respectful, and fitness-focused. Lastly, the gym is located in a very cute area of Western Springs. There are several local businesses nearby that you can visit before or after a workout. It's also important to note that parking has never been an issue for me at Elite.
