It's great knowing that you're not just doing random workouts hoping for results. The workouts are very challenging but can be catered to any fitness level from middle-aged moms (me!) to super-fit young men in their 20s. The positive and friendly atmosphere is so welcoming and makes showing up the highlight of my day! Even on days I have zero interest in working out I always feel a million times better just a few minutes in. Besides getting a good workout, it's fun to see your fitness friends that always put a smile on your face!

But a friend told me about The Edge and everything about the process from the initial contact, to the first evaluation appointment to the series of sessions with the incredible Ashley as my trainer was easy to access and professionally done. My trainer ( who has a doctorate ) understood the issue almost immediately and we were on the same page from the first moments onward. A series of stretching and strengthening exercises, along with some occasional physical therapy performed on-site by my trainer got me through the most painful injury ever and back on the golf course. I can't say enough about how good my experience has been here, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for workouts, classes, personal training, sports psychology and advice in a top level organization.

One of my grand-darlings had her birthday bash here and it was a ton of fun for all involved…read more  There are a bunch of ninja stations for the kiddos to burn up much of their energy before a birthday celebration meal.  They get 2 hours of supervised fun and it is broken up into 80 minutes of ninja stations and then 40 minutes birthday meal time.  My daughter arranged everything and I was just one of several parent/grandparent photographers/observers basically. Maggie was the welcoming receptionist and she provided a gift t-shirt to the birthday girl (part of the BD package) and got everyone signed in and made sure they had all of their waiver forms signed haha.  This place isn't cheap (ballpark $600 for the birthday package per the daughter) but it seems you get what you pay for - a clean and well maintained facility, a staffer to direct the kids' activities and help serve food, plenty of fun ninja activities to choose from, a private room (there are 2 of them) for the birthday meal, and pizza (by Viccino's, a local favorite anyway) and fruit provided from a local vendor, plates and utensils, and most importantly - a big and grand blast of a time for all the kiddo participants and us by-standers as well.  Apparently, you can also bring your own food in, but there is a healthy $25 per entree charge for doing so, and besides it's an additional hassle.  There is a downstairs and upstairs party room and both are nice and spacious.  One of my grand-darlings has been here several times as a birthday party guest, and she has always had a great time.  I didn't pay, but I still can say a big thumbs up for this place!

StretchLab has been AMAZING. I used to see a chiropractor pre-pandemic, and it worked pretty well…read morefor me. I have been wanting to go back to something, but I wanted something that would actually strengthen me, and help me work towards my health goals. I saw ads on IG that StretchLab was coming soon to Highland Park, so I signed up for the newsletter, and to keep posted on when they opened. They offered a free 25 minute stretch, and I was sold! I've been to massage that has released muscles and made me feel high from the endorphins when I got off the table, and this did the same thing! I signed up for the Founder deal they offered since they had just opened. It was a better deal than a lot of massages are, and I feel like it was even more effective! When you go in, you switch to no-slip socks, which they also offer. There are cubbies for your shoes, and a wall rack for coats. The room is a big open room, but also spacious enough that you don't feel like you're imposing on other clients, but also you feel safe because you aren't in a room, something that sometimes is an issue for me. The tables are nice and wide, so you don't feel like you're going to fall off the table when you need to switch positions. With one issue I've had with an ankle, they offer a nerve lotion/cream that REALLY helps with nerve pain, and that can be purchased here as well as stretch assisting things like the straps. There's several support items for sale! I've been working with Gian as my flexologist, (which is what they call the people who assist with your stretch- they do not in fact call them "stretchers"!) and he's been -amazing-. I was clear that I have some stored trauma in the body, and knew that certain areas (like my low back) tend to carry a LOT of stress and pain. I finished my fifth stretch yesterday, and I know I'm definitely gaining mobility as I'm able to push myself further than I had prior to attending stretches at StretchLab. Gian is great with communication, I love that he/they ask where I feel the stretch, as this also assists them on getting a better stretch. I could see how some folks might be dubious about this experience, but if you are getting massages, I would HIGHLY recommend that you try this a couple of times. I feel like there is more done here than a standard massage will offer. I'm really glad StretchLab is available in Highland Park!!

Adrian is an amazing guy and an epic personal trainer. He worked at the tone up club in Park Ridge…read moreand I connected to him socially. He had trained my brother in law a few years back and the results were impressive. I wanted the same and he agreed to train me at this new place called the Underground Fitness Studio. The first thing to know is that this location shares the parking lot with Chase bank. It's also important to know that it's OK to park there because they are a tenant despite the fact that the signage everywhere says chase bank parking only. The second thing to know is that Verizon cell service anyways stinks because it's underground. In the short time I had with Adrian, I did begin to see results! I lost about 10 pounds and I was heartened to learn that despite the fact that Adrian was moving to Florida, he was placing me in the very good and capable hands of Danny. Folks, I have tried personal training on and off for years now and never have I had such good results so quickly. Not only that though but now that I'm working with Danny, I really see the difference a dedicated and caring trainer can make! Danny is brilliant! He started with an assessment and it is obvious that he cares so much about not only the success of the gym but for the well being of his members! The pictures I am posting are from Adrian's going away party... and while I have seen Danny running anything from training camp for kids to small group classes and personal training the one constant is him regularly going above and beyond the call of duty. In short, Danny personalizes fitness to a point where he meets you where you're at and becomes nothing short of a champion in helping you attain your goals. Look, there is an Orange Theory amd an FFC close by. There are big box gyms in the area too... but I am telling you Yelpers... pound for pound, you are going to have to search far and wide to find the same kind of positive energy and just humble Midwestern I wanna help you attitude that Danny possesses and instills as part of the ethos of his gym. He's teaching me how to eat, the importance of rest, he gives me homework and is escorting me into my next dream chapter of my life. Every day I am more fit, confident and happy because of Danny, Underground Fitness and his endless dedication to truly make a difference. Check this place out. You will not regret it :) ‍‍

**Update: JEN!! Totally different place with Jen at the helm. Better music, better pace n power,…read moregreat chatter! No wonder Jen's classes are sold out! ** I've been to Spynergy twice now and plan to go back often in the future. I live in CA but visit the North Shore where I grew up often, and Spynergy will be part of my local exercise routine. This studio has a great sense of community around it. Many of the riders seem to know each other and there's always lots of happy friendly pre- and post-ride chatter. The instructors tell personal stories during the rides, and when I went just before Christmas they had a keg of beer outside on the sidewalk for everyone to enjoy on the way out. That was really fun and a total surprise! The bikes are nice: new, easily and intuitively adjustable and equipped with electronic read outs for pace and power. They pack 45-50 of them in a small air-conditioned room but it's not too crowded. The only less than awesome facet of Spynergy for me is the music. I know that's an instructor variable, and Jen is definitely better here. Yet the two times I've been it has been sprinkled with a good amount of old 1980s stuff and "white radio rock." Like you could definitely run into some Hall & Oates, Johnny Cougar, and Elton John. That can be okay once every dozen workouts I guess but when Cat Stevens is the beat you're trying to catch, you just turn up the tension and ride on your own, I guess. SoulCycle has playlist ownage over Spynergy!

During my search to find a new spinning studio in the North Shore (RIP Flywheel) I discovered…read moreSpynergy on Yelp. I went to sign up online for a 9:30am class with one of the owners, Jen, the very next day and discovered that even the waitlist was full. The sign of a great spinning class? I was determined to find out and so I booked a class with Jen a full week later and scored a bike (phew). I arrived 10 minutes early for class and lined up airport security style with a few dozen women outside the studio. Thank goodness it was a "warm" winter day (by Chicago standards) because no spinning class is worth standing in the cold for. The infamous Jen herself made her way thru the line to say hello to everyone. As soon as she saw me (not a typical member of her cult) she asked if I was new and welcomed me to Spynergy. Loved the warm welcome! There's nothing fancy about Spynergy (especially in comparison to flywheel & some other spinning studios), but doesn't make it any less of a good workout. Jen had amazing energy and after a few minutes on one of her bikes I understood the cult following. The music was good, but I would have loved some more current hits. Then again the ages in this class ranged from women in their 60s to New Trier students (why were they in school?) so she did a good job of choosing music that appeals to everyone. The minute I left Jen's class I booked it again for the following week (the schedule opens online one week in advance) so clearly I was a fan. I've also now tried Michelle's class, which was also a good workout. They have a large TV in front of the spinning studio where they show you which song they are playing. I'm surprised they don't use the TV to play the actual music videos, but perhaps they do in the other classes that I haven't had the pleasure of attending (yet). The walk in rate for a class here is $20, which is a bit steep for spinning, but if you buy a series of classes it averages out to almost just $13/class. Great deal based on the workouts I've experienced! I'm still bummed that Flywheel didn't cut it in Highland Park, but do think I"m going to be a very happy spinner at Spynergy.

I hear their tennis classes are great, but unfortunately it's a little too far for us in Glencoe…read more We have 4 tennis players in our family (including myself) so spend a lot of time on the courts. I recently discovered they have a great match play on Sunday evenings that you can sign up thru USTA. The kids can get USTA points, but it's much more lowkey than your typical USTA matches. My 12 year old has gone twice so far and has really enjoyed it. Jean (who runs the program) matched him perfectly both times and even offers some coaching during the matches. They mentioned it's moving to Saturday mornings for the summer so we'll try to make it a few times and I'd love my daughter to try it as well who is very into USTA tournaments right now. My son is going to try his first USTA tournament in a few weeks and I think will be well prepared for the experience thanks to this program.

I have been playing at and for this club since 2004 and I am a huge fan…read more There is a huge variety of classes with amazing instructors you can choose from. Some of the classes are coached at college park and others at Marriott in Lincolnshire. The prices here are a tad higher than at some other northwest suburbs clubs, but this place is well worth the extra buck. The coaches are very very good. Classes are fast paced and very educational. Not only does this place have tennis courts but it also has racquetball, taekwondo, and a fitness club. What a variety! The facility itself is very modern, clean, and has many accommodations. The bathrooms/locker rooms are fanominal. They are always clean, stocked on free tampons, good blow driers, hairspray, free towels, lotions, razors, etc. You want it, they got it. There is even a whirlpool! The upper level is the main floor and it looks over the tennis courts, on both sized of the building. Amazing views! This is what every club needs. People can cheer from above without being on the same level as you, and everyone has a great view of the game. The staff is always very friendly. I give it 4 stars and not 5 because of a few things. The parking lot gets packed and is very hard to get in and out of it. The lighting seems to always make my eyes hurt by the end of my time there... And for some reason I feel like there is something always missing , like a welcoming atmosphere, feel like its missing here.. It feels like you come in play and get out without getting that warm comfort.. Whether you are new to tennis or have been playing for years I suggest you try it out, you are sure to like it!
