If you're looking for a gym that is well maintained, amazing trainers, and awesome members this is a great gym for you. And it's locally owned! Gotta support our local businesses! I'm really excited about the new Urban Athlete location coming soon in Lincoln Park. Though it is closed right now because of the pandemic, they are lending out their equipment to members, which is super thoughtful of them. I am looking forward to checking this place out as soon as it opens up!

I actually moved out of…read moreChicago about 2 years ago and still continue to workout with Sarah virtually - that's how good she is. Sarah has been such an incredible person in my weight loss journey. She's empathetic, kind, funny and I love knowing that no matter what issue I'm facing (pain, period, exhausted from work, etc), Sarah will always tailor my workouts to how I'm feeling, but challenge me. She's helped me have a great relationship with working out - it doesn't feel like a chore and always look forward to our 2 sessions a week. It's hard finding a gym or trainer with so many options, but I'm so glad I found this place!!

Thanking God for DMS! David, you not only helped me loose 24 pounds, but encouraged me to change my diet, manage my stress, and even made me laugh during my weekly sessions to take the pressure off. I am beyond grateful for the help and support I was offered at DMSFit_chicago. I could not have gone through so many challenges without them by my side. Physical fitness and mental health go hand-in-hand. #dmsfitchicago #Healthy #Whole

I've been taking Victoria's class for over a year. I think there are four sessions per year,…read morefollowing the seasons. There are currently two classes per week (on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings). Victoria is really nice! When I was new, she always made a point of saying hello to me. She reaches out to each of us to offer motivating encouragement. Don't be fooled though, the workouts are tough! There are level 1/level 2 modifications so it works for a wide range of ability levels. The people in the class (mostly ladies) are very friendly as well. (It feels like a community.) The classes are held outside if the weather is nice enough. When it's cold, there is a large gym we use. As others have said the class is different EVERY time. Sometimes we focus on cardio and do a couple laps around the block, other times we do circuits, or tabatas, or holiday themed workouts (think mummy kicks and pumpkin lifts--literally with a pumpkin). I would be very sad if I had to move away....I would really miss my cleaning lady and Envirofit! Both would be incredibly difficult to replace. Also- before I did this class I had reservations about boot camps and committing to exercising outside. I was wrong. Being outside more frequently truly is good for those of us stuck working inside all day. With the modifications, you can do the workout that's right for you. (*You should really be able to give an extra star for a really extraordinary business.)

Victoria is incredible! I cannot recommend her highly enough. When I started with her, I was…read morestarting from ZERO, self conscious and not confident that I would stick with it (previous efforts to get in shape never lasted more than a few weeks). With Victoria's guidance and endless positivity, I am now in the best shape of my adult life and excited to see how much further I can go.

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!

Lou, the owner and trainer extraordinaire, truly cares about the people. Lou has created a culture and community of people who look at one another as FITFAM. I highly recommend this gym, you will get personal attention and care like no other gym. The owner is the FITFAM's biggest cheerleader. There is no better gym. During the COVID re-opening Lou has taken extreme measures while following all CDC guidelines. There is thorough cleaning nightly and throughout the day of all equipment and workout areas, everyone is required to wear masks and he added hand sanitizer stations all over the gym. There are also strictly outdoor workouts for those who feel more comfortable, and indoor workouts with stations 6 feet apart. They workout plans all allow for everyone tonhave their own weights and space. He truly is going above and beyond. You will feel safe being here.

From the time I moved to Chicago to getting in shape for my wedding, this place has been part of my life. After a major surgery (a myomectomy to remove a large fibroid), I struggled both physically and mentally. When I returned, I weighed 165 pounds and felt very weak. The Fit Results team met me exactly where I was. They customized a program for me through semi-private training, supported me with nutrition guidance, and helped me rebuild my strength safely. Because of this support, I'm now down to 149 pounds, stronger than ever (from squatting 15 lbs to 125 lbs), off my diabetes medication, and no longer a candidate for cholesterol medication. Group classes are fun & challenging, but if you're recovering from surgery or dealing with cyclical weight changes, I highly recommend personal or semi-private training. Be transparent, they will help you achieve your goals! No judgement! Huge shout-out to the owner AND every trainer at Fit Results--they are all incredibly skilled and truly know how to support you no matter where you are in your fitness journey. #STARTNOW #GETFIT

With Burn you get community, a sense of belonging, a connection with other women who are on a similar health journey and know how important support is... the coaches are kind, mindful, knowledgeable and free nutrition consultation as often as you need it, which is a huge bonus. Another huge bonus? My workouts have often been cancelled or cut short because of child care needs - Burn offers FREE childcare!!!! Sure, but what about the coaches? Before I started Burn last year I was experiencing chronic pain in my lower back, hips and knees. Most trainers in the past at similar gyms worked around the pain. Coaches Ben and David took the time to listen, understand my limitations and to modify workouts with one goal in mind - muscle development. In a few short weeks I felt my core and legs get stronger and not even a year later I live virtually pain free. Don't join Burn if you are looking for a gym. Join because you want a permanent lifestyle change, unconditional support, and to be a part of our "Burn family"!

I signed up for the 5:30am class (crazy, right?) that meets M-F for 4 weeks straight. I am halfway done. Every class is something different. There are usually circuits of exercises that work out the entire body and I don't stop moving for the entire hour of my workout. Some muscles that are sore are muscles that I didn't even know I had. And I feel different, definitely much healthier and hopefully more toned when this is all over. The class is rather large at 35 or so women, but everyone there has a goal and works out to the best of their abilities. It doesn't matter what your fitness level is, you can still do this camp. I highly recommend it -- and I'm only 2 weeks in!

Keeps the body guessing and the muscles working.

I started Fit Code on September 9th and signed up for a 6 week challenge. You know, 15 lbs or 6%…read morebody fat (depending on your body type and where you're at). Of course I was told I was a 6% er. Ummm what does that mean? Basically I am too thin to be a 15 lb loser of weight so the challenge is 6%. At first I was absolutely ok with it, then I realized that it would be difficult. Guess what? If you flow the advice of the trainers, the daily messages you receive and the trainings- it'll happen! It is now October 21, and I am complete. I went to weigh out, and dropped 6.7% body fat. The proof is in the puddin'! Just follow the darn instructions, as daily messages filter through and that's one of the mantras! I am impressed. I was terrified that maybe I wouldn't make it but I did! So with this, I get my money back! So I rolled it into a membership for a year! I am super exited and the fact that I can workout 5x a week is amazing! I have gotten use to it and with the amount I got back, the money I get back is rolled over to that and I am going to pay a lot less! By far, this has to be one of the best experiences I've ever done, and I LOVE working out now! It's just to much of a deal to pass up! If you want to get fit, DEFINITELY COME IN and have the experience of a life time! It's work of course, but wow does it work! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS even if it's just to work out, but to get back in shape? OH YEAH! #fitcode

So proud to be the first to review my trainer…read more My wife and I have been weight training with Mercedes for just over a year. I started after losing 45 pounds on a Keto diet and my wife 32 pounds. Since beginning my training I have lost another waist size and I have put on roughly 30 pounds of muscle. Its been a life-changing experience and we made a friend along the way. I am attaching the before and after photo for myself and a photo of my wife and me at the one year mark worth of weight training. Mercedes has been amazing. She motivates and drives us.
