She has achieved a great balance between correcting posture, challenging her subjects to push forward and being kind and encouraging at the same time. After the workout she stays in touch with hydration or stretch reminders throughout. She is flexible with her clients' schedules, friendly, and definitely has the "personal" covered in personal training. I would recommend Liz to anyone: a truly delightful experience to work with Liz.

Good class. I attended Sunday Pilates Equipment class with Sub Kristen. I enjoyed the class…read more Slightly different from reformer classes that I have been to before. I wasn't expecting to rotate Equipment mid-class. Class had 6 attendees but only 3 reformers. So two people on tower and 1 on Cadillac. Kristen was good at making modifications for each piece of equipment. For this class I did Reformer and Cadillac. I just really enjoy doing feet in straps on the reformer and missed that part because I was on Cadillac and not the same. It was a very nice workout for my core. I felt very stretched out and adjusted after the class. I would come back for another class. I prefer this classic style of Pilates over Mega Reformers. I signed up for this with Class Pass but would explore getting a punchcard with this studio. Plenty of parking nearby plus super close to Aya Pastries.

Back in Dec 2012, my girlfriend and I were both thinking "We really need to start doing something…read moreabout working out." We had become aware of BFit b/c I had been doing serious web research into gyms in the area. We had already been to check out Oak Park Tennis Club, and I had previously been a member at FFC, and we were considering some other things like an independent spinning class. We were trying to find something that would be not only affordable, but effective at keeping us on track. We decided to walk by BFit on one of our walks, to see what it's like. When we walk by they were finishing a class, so we didn't want to walk in necessarily, just peek at the services they offered on the door, but one of the staff there saw us looking and invited us in. That was the beginning of a wonderful 8 months of Personal Training with Darryl. We only went once a week, which is too little to actually lose a lot of weight without doing anything else, but we still went from huffin-and-puffin after no-more than 20 situps at the start, to working through 2-3 sets of 70 situps, not to mention all the squats, squat kicks, TRX, and crazy-things-Darryl-would-invent-on-the-fly-that-we-never-could-have-conceived-of-on-our-own that we did. Darryl was always very positive, cheerful, inventive, motivating, real, and funny. As Darryl will tell you, "he's got jokes" :). Darryl regularly pushed our limits, but also respected them - if i mentioned that something didn't feel right, he changed up the exercise, and could always take into account my bad knees. We moved away from Oak Park back in April, we have kept going to Darryl for over 4 months, but eventually, distance and scheduling has just gotten to be too much of a hassle for my girlfriend and me (not Darryl's fault, he was always super accomodating with our schedules). And so, alas, we are left to find something else nearer to us that's as good. In addition to Darryl, with whom we built a strong relationship, all the staff at BFit is awesome. My girlfriend took a couple group classes as well, and it is just such a wonderfully friendly place to truly workout, and get your butt kicked. We credit Darryl with kickstarting our fitness and being a wonderful human being in the process. We'll miss you Darryl! - T&G

This place is absolutely amazing! Lynette and her team of fitness professionals are upbeat,…read morepositive, fun, motivational and all around winners! I've been attending the Saturday morning bootcamp - 7:45AM for $9 cash - and I see and feel a difference in my body and my spirit. They encourage you to push yourself while being respectful of your limitations and instructing you to listen to what your body is telling you. There are ALL age ranges, ALL fitness levels, ALL body types and EVERYONE is made to feel welcome and part of the party. It's inclusive, diverse and fun! And this is a serious bootcamp, so you will sweat and work hard and get your work-out money's worth, so make sure to bring a little towel and a bottle of water (or you can buy one there). I really like that you don't have to make a long-term commitment with a membership and can pay by the class. They do have package-deals that offer savings, but I haven't taken advantage of them. If there's any drawback it would be that the space is a bit smallish, so the bootcamp experience may seem a little chaotic to someone more accustomed to Bally's, YMCA or Fitness Formula Club, but Lynette and her team make the space work. I have been a member at all of the places mentioned above and I will say that BFit is by far and away the most fun, most challenging, most positive work out I've ever had. Honestly, this is a fantastic place with great people and positive energy! If you want to get beach-body ready or just need to move a bit more and want to have fun while you're doing it, this is the place to go!

This was only my second time at Chi50, and I'm already seriously considering getting a membership!…read moreI absolutely LOVE Cheri's class. I'm currently transitioning from strength training to Pilates, and Pilates has always intimidated me because I never really know if I'm doing the movements correctly or getting a real workout. Cheri completely changed that for me. Her class is challenging without feeling impossible, and she does such an amazing job paying attention to your form and making adjustments when needed. She'll give you modifications if you need something easier, but she'll also help you level it up if you want more of a challenge. I've tried Pilates at other places before and never stuck with it because I always felt a little lost, but I feel so much more comfortable and confident in Cheri's class. She's attentive, encouraging, and makes you feel like you're actually learning while still getting a great workout. I definitely wanted to give her her flowers because she's amazing!

I have worked with Lindsay for almost a year now and have only the best things to say about her!…read moreNot only is she a wonderful personal trainer she has also become a friend. She is very attentive to what you are looking for in a workout. I had a knee injury so I wanted to be careful with certain workout regimes, Lindsay made sure to focus on strengthening my mobility around the knee along with lots of particular stretching. I felt like Lindsay made an effort to make me feel comfortable about my fitness journey and that made me feel confident and excited to continue forward with my progress. I highly recommend Ace Strength and guarantee you will not only have a fantastic outcome but a great person guiding you along the way!

I first met Lindsay when she was a coach at the gym I was going to…read more After my initial class with her, she had set herself apart from any coach/trainer I have ever worked with. It's obvious the years of learning, training and dedication she has put into her business, as after spending one minute with her you can tell this is her life. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about proper technique, body movement and form, but she also took the time to help and correct every person that was taking the class. If she saw one person struggling in a class of people succeeding, she would rewrite or modify the entire workout for that person. Many times "that person" was myself. She made going to classes that were at first scary or intimidating become classes that I would look forward going to. I knew that I would leave with a better understanding and in turn, a better workout because of her love for teaching and the love for her sport. Since then I have taken up training with her multiple times a week. She has helped me train my mind and my body to lay a foundation of awareness that has allowed me to preform at an extremely higher level. I'm no longer working out "just to do it" , I work with Lindsay to constantly push the boundaries of what my body can achieve. I am always impressed with what she pushes me to accomplish. I've gained a lot of confidence and it's still growing, all thanks to Ace!!
