    I have nothing but positive things to say about my recent physical therapy sessions at this…read morefacility. First, my therapist Tom Dyke was amazing! He is a seasoned therapist who has a wealth of knowledge and experience as a PT. Moreover, his professional demeanor and friendly attitude made each of the sessions a pleasure. The facility itself is bright, spacious, and always spotlessly clean. It has a variety of equipment that allows the therapists to focus on whichever body parts need attention. All of the staff members are open and friendly. Of particular note is Luigi, the owner. He is clearly genuinely concerned that every TFI client has an excellent experience. Be sure to make a point of saying hello to him if you visit.

    Don't make appointments ahead of time that you can't keep…read more I reached out to the FIT Institute via their FB ad, and booked an initial appointment for back, neck, and oblique pains. They reached out to me the next day, and my appointment was confirmed over the phone for 1/28 at 6:30 pm when they reached out to me. I left work early (over an hour from the North suburbs to the north side of Chicago) to make the appointment at FIT institute at 6:30 tonight and I got a call from them, around 6:15, asking if I'm running late to my appointment at 6pm... I called them back, explaining that I was on the way and my appointment was for 6:30, per my first interaction. They put me on hold for a minute and then came back and said that no, they were so sorry, but they didn't have a 'therapist on site' for an appointment starting at 6:30 tonight and would love to reschedule. No thanks.

    I really enjoy working out at this gym. The location is great--and with that the people who work…read moreout in it. Young/middle aged professionals is generally the crowd. It's a smaller gym, but I feel like if you come in with a purpose it isn't so bad. One suggestion to management perhaps would be in regards with employees and eating at the front desk. Like I mentioned before, the space is small and when employees eat, for example, Taco Bell--or anything with a heated aroma, the entire gym smells like a fast food joint. It the most ideal workout conditions when it smells like your at a food court.

    When I was a member here, they literally had one filthy towel hanging on a hook next to the…read moresanitizer, and that is how you were supposed to wipe down the equipment. I brought my concerns about them not providing clean towels to wipe down equipment to the staff member on duty, and I was told that we can all share one towel, but don't worry, because they will wash it every day. He told me the gym was too small to provide members with towels to wipe themselves with. OK fine. But the equipment needs to be wiped down after each use, and using the same dirty towel for everyone, all day, is not accomplishing that. I've never seen another gym do this. I was a member here for a year, and every other week one of the ellipticals or stationary bikes was broken. In such a small gym, this is very inconvenient.

    If you read my previous review I mentioned my first trainer Teivin (Sam) had gotten promoted. I was…read morepretty distressed about it actually but he reassured me I would be in good hands with AJ. He was so right! I've been with AJ over one month and couldn't be happier. AJ has an amazing build, one that clearly shows he has the knowledge I need to transform my body. AJ has risen to the challenge to continue my workouts where Teivin has left off. He is so motivating, has a warm and friendly disposition, keeps me laughing all the while getting down to business. My time with him is well spent. Workouts are varied and I am learning about all the machines/free weights that are available. He has motivated me to push myself, while at the same time keeping my training safe. He is working to make sure my limitations (bad back, wonky knee, wrist issues) are addressed and I can say I am really pleased with my results. Feeling better and looking better!! I look forward to coming to my sessions and have added more sessions to continue my health journey. AJ has helped me physically but also mentally believe in myself. I always leave the gym feeling I learned something new, pushed myself, all the while having fun. AJ is such a part of my success and I am glad to call LA Fitness my gym. Thank you Teivin for finding such an excellent trainer to hire.

    Gym is overcrowded if you go after 4pm until close on a weekday. Like waiting for treadmills…read morecrowded. Facility is clean but does not have a basketball court or sauna. 80% of the time I just end up doing cardio because I do not want to wait for equipment and have a 2 hour work out. I would go only go here on weekends or early morning.
