He has over 10 years experience and was even a professional baseball player in Spain & Germany! He adjusts the workout to fit the needs and limitations of each client.

He shows you how to correctly do each work out movement so that it's not confusing and keeps an eye on your posture so that you won't injure yourself in the process.

And the coaches are extremely professional, knowing to push the limits just enough and correcting everytime is needed. I feel great, my energy levels increased and my muscle mass as well. I have been working out by myself for 2 years before joining Anthos, with an online coach, but the gains I got from training with Anthos coaches are so much more valuable. In a session, múltiple coaches look at your posture, which is great, because they all SEE different things. It will be a game changer for your health and longevity.

I really like this location! I switched here from a previous gym, and I've been pretty happy I did…read more There are a ton of cardio machines from rows, to bikes, to treadmills. I've never had an issue of waiting for a treadmill like I have at other places, so I like that they have so many. I've never experienced any of the machines being broken either -- cardio or weightlifting. I like how many variations of each machine they have. For example, they have two variations of the leg extensions, two of leg curls, and about a million for bicep curls lol. The staff is pretty nice, and I've been satisfied with the conditions of the locker room/bathrooms. Parking is also free for the first 2 hours. Only down side is that it's too hot in here! No matter the time of the year, summer or winter, it's hot!

I have been a member at this studio for over two years, lately there has been so many changes and…read moremostly negative by the owners. The studio has such a great front crew and coaches. The employees go above and beyond to help out and the coaches are the heart of the gym - without them this place will shut down soon. I am so pissed off that they let go so many good coaches, recently their Head Coach Hector who was a true asset and gave everything but yet the studio and him part ways. So many people taking about cancelling their memberships because they are already not happy about certain days not having coaches to hold classes. These owners just ignorant and dumb. - that's it !!!!

She did a reallyyy good job cueing us and explaining the sets. Loved the class!

Currently, do twice a week with my fiancé to get it right and get it tight for our wedding day. Randy has us dying by the end of each session. Athletically I see a HUGE difference from when we see Randy and we don't. What I think is most important is he does exercises you can take with you and incorporate in your normal gym routine, as well gives you a full meal plan to get your body looking amazing. I have some way to go before I am Miami ready for my upcoming vacation, but I know with Randy on my side I will be there in no time.

The space is perfect for people who want to do personal training or teach their own classes. They have a parking lot behind the building for paid parking, street parking, and even access to the bank parking lot early in the morning before it opens. The facility has quiet bathrooms with showers and a lower level with additional training areas and fitness equipment. It's an ideal spot for someone who prefers supporting a locally owned business instead of major chains like Planet Fitness or Snap. This gym really offers a unique experience, especially being a Chicago-based business!

I had to cut out quite a bit of my review as it was to long to Yelp. Here are the highlights:…read more - Member etiquette and Cleanliness: I can't tell you how many times someone takes something I'm using when my stuff is sitting right there OR members use the benches as a personal locker for personal items while they aren't using it for a workout. This even happens when trainers are on the room and sometimes it's the trainers themselves! Trainers also eat warm meals in the gym so you have to smell their meal while you work out. Often barbells and plates are not put back at all, even with a trainer present, dumbbell shelf is a mess. Crumpled paper towel, piles of lifting chalk, empty bottles, remnants of the awful yoga mats litter the ground. No in person management present just trainers, I've never seen so many trainers in one gym before. The lack of in person management shows. Sometimes there's no TP in the bathroom for example in the winter the metal stairs will not be shoveled for snow or salted for ice. A couple of times I have slid on the ice. There's not even a bag around for members to do it themselves. -The Actual Space: is quite limited. The downstairs free weight area is rather small and if even 5 people are down there the place feels full and this is actually a recent improvement from the upstairs room. It's also spread out over 3 main rooms on two floors so there's a lot of walking to get to different equipment and for many you cant switch without going down a flight of stairs. The free weight area feels dungeon like with no windows and a low ceiling. There are windows in the bjj area you can kind of see from the doors but it's not the same. It feels like your lifting in a basement (and you are). It also smells like rubber to the point I've gotten headaches and has poor ventilation. It also amplifies sound so it's overwhelming with trainers, music etc going. The vibe feels more like your lifting in your friends home gym in his unfinished basement with equipment he got at a garage sale then working out in a professional facility. The space itself isn't well maintained either. The fire extinguisher upstairs has broken glass that's sharp and jagged just chilling for over a year now (was like that before I joined), plates and dumbbell's are left out, or put back incorrectly, piles of lifting chalk, drinks etc.. can be found on the floor. Members don't rerack anything (which is true for every gym in the Hyde park area). There's some cube drawers and a shoe rack but no locker room. So, you're carrying all your stuff with you throughout your workout since you can't lock anything up. There is a bathroom with a single shower and toilet in a separate room. -The Equipment: There is an overall lack of machines. There is almost a full set of leg machines but is missing calf. The only upper body machines are a chest press and assisted dip/pullup and cable machines. No machines or abs, arms, shoulders, other muscles like you would see in other gyms. There are 4 squat racks, 1 smith machine, 1 leg press, 1 set of dumbbells (5 pound increments) so minimal to the amount of people using them. No preacher curl rack, no deadlift racks. You'll use the 2 main squat racks for most of our workout and so does everyone else. The equipment is a mismatch of quality. 2 of the squat racks are really nice like you would expect in a professional gym. 2 are small and wobbly like you would expect in a home basement gym. The machines are a mismatch of brand and colors. It feels like all the equipment was purchased used at a garage sale. Not a big deal if it was maintained well but it's not. Not all machine plates are in pounds. There are not enough weight plates to go around. If someone's going heavy on the leg press good luck on a squat rack. Similarly, there are not enough barbells downstairs. There is one barbell that's broken and has been laying on the floor for months. If one person is deadlifting, there are not enough for the racks. They are also inconsistent some are rubber, some are iron, some have handles. Your stack will always look lopsided. Only 1 pair of 2.5 plates in the whole gym. The equipment isn't in great shape. Bent out of shape barbells, some adjustable benches are bent at certain holes making them dangerous. Clips don't work and plates slide off. -My biggest issue: large group fitness classes from about 5am to 9am most days as well as evening prime time after work (think). This means if you're a lone wolf free weightlifter like me who goes in the morning your competing with sometimes 10 to 15 other people in a group class. You won't get a squat rack, all the dumbbell's are taken etc.. It's loud and chaotic and you'll adjust your planned workout every day to take whatever is left over. -The gym cost is $75 a month, up to $40 more than chain gyms in the area which are as low as $10 - $35 and I just can't justify the cost for what you get.

Lionell is great. I've been working with him for almost two years - through a rough pregnancy and…read morethen a year postpartum ... and hopefully, for many years to come. He tailors the workouts to your specific goals, keeps things fun and interesting, and is just generally a great guy. I enjoy working out and fitness, but get stuck in a rut if I'm on my own. I will do the same thing over and over and over. In the near-weekly workouts we've had over the past two years, we always do something new. He has great exercises, many of which I do at home. Since I've had three kids, we focus a lot on core strength and stability ... my least favorite exercises ... but Lionell takes it way beyond boring planks and turns pretty much everything into a total body exercise. He runs an inspiring Instagram about fitness and diet, which helps keep me on track during the week. I'd highly recommend Lionell if you're looking for a trainer.
