After 11 months of pushing myself with the help of numerous trainers and advice, I gave Brian a try. Most of the trainers I had worked with were terrific in the weight room but knew "just enough" about nutrition. Brian is an expert in both. After months of being stuck in the same place, Brian took me to the next level. I lost 16lbs and 3% Body Fat during those 7 weeks. Was it easy?? HECK NO, but every day was a challenge and Brian was right there with me to keep me on track. Thank you, Brian, let's keep going!

I have worked out my entire life and tried at various times different trainers (privately, local…read moregyms, equinox etc.) None have worked out or I felt like gave me an edge up in my overall fitness pushing me to another level. Brian has hands-down given me that edge and provided me with a foundation for longevity, mobility, strength and conditioning. I came to him after my wife gave birth (I had gained 15-20 pounds when my wife was pregnant). I not only was out of shape, but also experiencing various pain in my hips and legs from my workouts (lack of stability strength on top of lots of running). I lost 25-30 pounds with Brian, but not only that - I now am in a much better position with my flexibility, strength and conditioning for extending my long-term health and fitness. This comes from a focus not only on workouts, but also on nutrition. Brian helps to shape workouts to your preference and helps to focus in on what is working and what is not with your eating habits. Losing weight becomes very easy - frankly, I now work to keep weight on! Finally, Brian is very knowledgeable and overall a great guy. He is easy to work with and accommodating to clients - especially those with demanding jobs (e.g. law, finance, etc.) Would highly recommend Brian!!

Each Dr and their entire staff are AMAZING!!! My boyfriend and I went for a free consultation…read morebecause he had constant head pressure, dryness in his ears and liquid coming out of both ears (yuck)! After going to multiple "specialists" in the medical industry for 2 YEARS, we had all but given up. At our FIRST visit Dr Holmes looked at his ears & suspected it to be psoriasis, which none of the specialists had ever concluded. She gave us a plan on how he should change his diet but also ordered multiple tests to finally find out he was extremely intolerant to gluten and that was the cause! Within two weeks of the diet change, even before the test results came back, his head and ears had improved by 90%! Dr Brianne Holmes is simply remarkable when it comes to critical thinking in caring for the entire body - emotionally, mentally and physically! Test before you Guess! Most Dr's will throw med's at you from nothing but a best guess. NO! Dr Holmes provides actual healthcare that will guide you to where your body is deficient and why those deficiencies are causing ALL your symptoms. She takes the time to explain why nutrition is the key to your health!

I have been wanting to pursue a functional medicine health regimen for quite some time and I will…read moresay after spending 5,000 with absolutely abysmal results - I will probably never pursue something like this again! Dr. Scott's "treatment plan" almost cost me my life. After finding H-Pylori and Salmonella on my GI map, I was assured by Dr. Scott that these issues were "self limiting" and would clear up under my diet and supplement regimen, which I followed diligently. I even asked him directly, "do I need to seek medical treatment for this, do need antibiotics?" After consistently reporting my symptoms I ended up losing 30 lbs in two months, and got to the point where I was almost hospitalized from puking so much. My treating provider was shocked to learn that I had been battling such a severe infection for months without treatment (triple therapy of antibiotics, pink bismuth and PP prohibitors). I looked like I was on death's door step. Every meeting I had with Dr. Scott, I asked about medical treatment due to the severity. He actually would giggle every time I would describe my symptoms as if having 6-12 bowel movements a day for 2-3 months is funny? Simply put, Dr. Scott wanted to rack up 3K from me monthly in his program at the expense of my health. I ended up spending 6-7K in total on this program, lost 30lbs, missed events for my own wedding/family, and still to this day do not have normal stomach and bowel function. What did I get for 5K? A journal, a paleo diet and some overpriced supplements. The irony is a walk- in- clinic provider treated a chronic issue for 50 bucks under my insurance and a 1 time appointment. Even after I expressed my disappointment, Dr. Scott never offered me a refund or any type of offering to make amends. I have never had such a bad experience in a professional medical setting in my life. Scammers, WILL NOT BE BACK!

New gym in downtown Downers Grove! Conveniently located near the Downers Grove Main Street train…read morestation and Egg Harbor. The gym features a variety of classes (including cardio, strength training, etc.). I tried the "Gonna Make You Sweat" class--it is a good mix of cardio, strength training, and core work. The gym has all new equipment (treadmills, stair climbers, rowers, free weights, racks, etc.). The gym utilizes the latest technology in personalized fitness through the use of heart monitors. Each gym user has the option of wearing a heart rate monitor and the data is displayed on the gym screen during the workout session. The software actively tracks your heart rate in comparison to your target heart rate. At the end of the workout, you receive an email with your workout stats (e.g., average minimum and maximum heart rate, heart zones during the workout, etc.). The data links into the MAR fitness app on your smartphone, so you can track your stats workout-to-workout. The gym amentities include single user bathrooms (shower included) and lockers with built-in combination key pads. Ample parking given the gym's close proximity to the Downers Grove Downtown Parking Garage and the train station parking lot (available during the evening hours and on the weekends). Great for commuters and for those who want a fresh take on fitness!
