Although my collegiate career has successfully come to an end, I can continue to train with Acceleration Lisle at an elite level to improve my overall athleticism, quickness, agility, and lifting techniques. As an adult with a passion to stay healthy and active but also an extremely busy schedule, Acceleration Lisle has everything I need to accomplish that and more! They have qualified trainers and a results-based program that the everyone from the everyday to extremely athletic adult can benefit from. Great hours, adult classes, and full gym with lifting equipment and racks, stretching equipment, track, pool, regeneration sessions, and not to mention full locker room, I have access to everything I need! They specialize in training young athletes, starting at about 7 years old and I have seen them work wonders to develop coordination, leadership, and make health FUN for the younger generation!

Especially one lady with short hair who is always chatting with younger staff and barely looks up to check people in. other's area lifetimes greet you warmly when you enter but most of the desk staff is preoccupied here. Gym desperately needs cleaning- cleaning is done by internal staff. Mats are dirty and never see anyone wiping down weights or mats / although they have spray and towels for guests to use. Restrooms are dirty and need a deep clean and improvements -( behind the stall doors- need to be cleaned)! This location is 20+ years old and lots of newer clubs going in and send this one is being neglected. Speakers in the main group fitness room only work on one side and cut out in the middle of routines. Classes were great but they keep changing formats and if there are less than 12-15 in a class they cut the class. For the price being paid they should hold class even if 5 people sign up. So many trainers around for a fee but classes seem to be getting limited compared to the newer gyms. Still going due to location but it needs some love!

I tried it for a month and decided to cancel. I called them. They will NOT let you cancel via phone (like every other service I have ever used) and said I had to come into gym to do it. So I made a special trip just to do that. I trusted them BUT they did not actually cancel it. Now I discover I have been charged for 6 months. I spoke to the polite guy at the gym and Oliver at their corp office 920-365-5200. They would not refund me anything!!! They charge "based on STATUS not actual usage". So, BEWARE of nice people offering anything for free or discounted rate. They will make excuses and cite corporate policy. They will SCREW YOU with a smile.

I mentioned this was my first time at this specific location and asked her to guide me to the women's locker room. She was very friendly and accommodating. She basically gave me a tour of the gym and let me know if I needed anything to reach out to her. I felt very welcomed which put me in a great workout mindset. The lighting is different than what I'm used to at other PFs. It's more on the dimmer side which I don't love. I couldn't tell if the equipment was on the older side or not, however, everything was very clean and well maintained. Machines/equipment do seem to be closer than I'm used to, which left minimal personal space. The women's locker room reminded me more of a lifetime locker room vs PF. It was definitely the nicest locker room I've utilized in comparison to other locations. The crowd status had 2 bars when I checked in but there was plenty of equipment available. I did not have to wait for anything. At my previous gym 2 bars meant the gym was busting at the seams and I was very grateful this wasn't the case here.

I've been training there for a year and a half together with my teenage son, and we both love it. We love authenticity of the place, love Master Chen and Sean and their style of teaching, love learning Forms and working with different weapons /staff, sword, broad sword, nunchucks, spear, even bull whip - we both love working with all of these, and I am a female/. To train with real Shaolin Master, captain of Shaolin Temple Performance Team side to side and to watch him going over the movements is unforgettable experience. Don't get me wrong, it's a hard work /that what kung fu means, hard work/, the warm up is like a bootcamp , cool down is another one , but you will definitely get in shape you've never been in and maybe loose few pounds. I also love flexible schedule, they have classes for every level almost every day, weekends too, you even have 2 options. I love parents train together with kids, we practice together with my son at home and test together, we have fun together. I also take Tai Chi class there and I highly recommend trying this one too. I can't speak of this place and quality of Master Chen's training highly enough. Thank you Illinois Shaolin Kung Fu Academy for this opportunity!

The gym features trainers (for an additional fee), complimentary towels, shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash (for those who use it), a pool, sauna, basketball court, ping pong table, lockers with combination locks (which could close tighter), and other amenities. A notable advantage is the absence of persistent pressure to upgrade membership. I personally utilize the facility for exercise rather than socializing, which aligns with my preferences. Additionally, my health insurance covers the membership at a reduced cost compared to the current price. Furthermore, I am eligible to use other fitness centers, such as Planet Fitness, LA Fitness and most park district facilities (please consult your health insurance for pricing information). While improvements could be made, such as equipment upgrades and enhanced accessibility for individuals with disabilities, the overall experience is satisfactory. Ultimately, the suitability of a fitness center depends on individual preferences and requirements.

Back in August, my husband and I were looking for a gym where we could find results. Paying for a…read moregym membership and trying to figure out what to do next or doing the same thing every time just was not working. We were tired of the yo-yo. We stumbled across EnShape Fitness through the Ro Sport Chiropractic office, which is right next door. There are many reasons why I love EnShape. The classes are small (max 8 people), which allows for semi-private training; they know everyone by name, you're not just another number in their system. They have a variety of training classes from metabolic cardio, strength training, recovery cardio, and circuits. Along with fitness, they also incorporate nutritional training, which is the key to successful weight loss and maintenance. They teach you that this is a life style change, not just another diet. The staff at EnShape is small, so they get to know your strengths and weaknesses and you get to know them on a personal level. You have accountability with weekly weigh-ins and a monthly meeting with your trainer. They care about you, your goals, and your success. Since the middle of August, I am down almost 30 lbs and 2 pant sizes. I can dead lift and bench press more than I ever thought possible. I can push the sled across the gym with weight without any help (the first time I could barely get it 25 ft without any help), and throw the battle ropes with ease. I have more stamina than I used to and feel myself getting stronger. I have definitely seen success in how I feel and how I am looking. I still have a ways to go, but I know that I'm on the right path with the right people. If you're looking for a small gym where the trainers genuinely care about you and where you can find success, check out EnShape. You won't be disappointed.

Kathryn is wonderful! I have had a great experience training with her for the past 6 weeks. When I…read morefirst met with her and I explained what my goals were she was very honest about what was realistic and laid out her thoughts on a game plan (protein goals, number of workouts, food suggestions). She has a background in being a life coach so she is attentive to your total wellness, not just physical, which is key for me. I work out with her exclusively via FaceTime and as a busy, working Mom, it couldn't be more perfect. She is on time and friendly, even at 6 am! If you are on the fence about contacting her, do it! You won't regret it. Scheduling times with her is easy and if I ever need to move times around she is very accommodating. Also, from the beginning she was upfront about her fees and wanted to make sure that we stayed within my budget. She never pushed me to do more than I was comfortable with. Kathryn utilized a phone app called Trainerize, which I love. She loads the work outs in the app after we have completed them so I am able to do them on my own on days of the week that I don't work out with her. It is very easy to follow along.

I decided to walk the 1 1/2 miles from my house to the office I was super thirsty,I was happy to see the standard 5 gallon water dispenser,but there were no cups.I turned to ask the lady at the desk,then I realized that there was no Water either.Fat people STAY thirsty,don't they know this? I was then weighed and had my blood pressure in a side room RIGHT next to the reception desk with NO wall! I was asked about my contraception use,luckily she asked quietly and there were no other patients waiting. I was then taken to get my EKG..oh my,my last EKG had 3 of those patch things on my boobs,today I had 10 stuck everywhere indecent.2 on each boob,1 on each arm..the others were on various areas of my stomach..2 were too close to my crotch region..it was OK,I just want you to know what to expect and wear your "date night" underwear! I then saw the P.A. Cara,this lovely lady deserves 5 whole stars,she was very caring in her tone and approach,She went over diet and exercise talk..the normal eat less,exercise more stuff.My EKG came back "funny" so I did not receive my fat pills,but that's a GOOD thing..there are many places that won't care and will get their money and send you off to die,they actually care about your heart "or a future lawsuit Lol." I did get my B-12 shot and I can come back at another time to check my stats,before I get my pills. I appreciate that my health is important to that office,not just dollars.On the way out I heard the medical assistant asking another patient about her "sex life" and contraception. They really need a door in that area. I work in health care,I never tell other health care workers because they will treat me differently,the other employees did not have that warm bedside manner that is expected.They were nice enough,but in that "I have to work" way and you are Supposed to practice infection control and wash your hands before and after patient contact..did not always happen. Overall,I can dig it and I wish that Cara was my personal Dr. She is awesome!!
