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 say most of it because my diet has not been perfect. All of us hope to achieve certain goals but the reality is that only we can achieve or goals and maintain them! Joe has always been a great motivator to get my diet back on track and is always willing to suggest better ways of eating to help me with a "complete" lifestyle. Working out is only a small part of it and a trainer can only motivate you for a healthy and balanced diet. It's up to me and when I fail I only have myself to blame. After all these years, thank you Joe for being a great motivator!

First of all, you're getting a lot more than personal training. You're getting a nutritionist as…read morewell. The facilities are great. Think of a cross fit gym set up without all the scary cross fit people intimidating you. This gym is only used for personal training so there is never more than a few people there during your session. Joe is genuinely committed to you and wants you to succeed. He's really good at what he does, will call you out when needed -- ie. you ate like crap, you cancelled so you could watch the Bachelor, etc etc. He really knows nutrition and he changes up the workouts every time. He doesn't just willy nilly push you, he has you wear a heart monitor so he knows how far to push you and to make sure what he's doing is effective. I really have no complaints and working with Joe has been wonderful. I have gotten so much stronger in just a couple months. The education about nutrition has been key in helping me work towards my weight loss goals --- if only he could transfer self discipline to me too! If you're trying to decide whether to get a gym membership or try a personal training session with Joe, just do the personal training with Joe. You won't regret it and you won't get your a$$ to the McGym anyhow and you know it. That's why you're researching personal trainers. Buy his Groupon. Get hooked. Get fit. Just do it.

I recently moved from ABQ to the Chicagoland and tried one other CF box before finding my home at…read moreCFA. Their coaches are great, the class schedule is huge, and the members are hard working! IMO every box has their own feel... Some boxes are filled with "soccer mom" types, some boxes the coach wears a mic to give instructions, some boxes no one will speak to the new person, and this box is none of those. CFA has a wide range of ages that attend here, and everyone likes to put the work in. Not too chatty of a box but also not anti-social, it's just the perfect mix for me! Also: If it's your first time going here, note that you should park behind the building and you'll go through a back (unmarked) door.

I decided to fully commit to the program and hope for the best... In 6 weeks, I lost just over 11 lbs! I love the Opposing Force familia. They are a quirky group but they keep things entertaining! The workouts with Jake and Cody continue to kick my butt every morning. Your sore muscles will be a testament that it's working! It's great that you get individualized coaching on your form even in a class setting. The nutrition plan provided by Liz really does get results! I also love that the trainers are constantly checking in with you, ready to answer questions and keep you on your game. This family is a fun one: they have themed workouts for holidays and put together extra contests to help everyone achieve their goals. I'll be sticking with this gym for the long run because of the results!

However I only lost about 3 % body fat as well as the $500 I paid upfront for the 6 week program. The nutrition component was missing and I did not feel very welcomed by the nutrition expert. Cody also gave me some advice on nutrition which was a little helpful. The one plus I got from this program was that I started lifting weights for the first time in my life. The workouts are all amazing however. EXPENSIVE but if you can afford it and have your diet down, totally give them a try.

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.

Rey and Sonny are…read moreexcellent teachers who deliver a strong emphasis on the basics and know how to slowly break-in the beginners. Their assistants Debbie and Nicholas are also great and will constantly push you and give sound advice. There is a friendly family atmosphere for the most part, but these guys know when to get serious, command respect from all students, and push the physical limits of the class. Like Kristen B. noted, the first class is free for any martial art you want to try out, and you can try them all. For newbies, there's a pretty mixed crowd in the beginner and intermediate Muay Thai classes. I'd say about 35-40% of the class is female, and the age spread is very wide from age 10 to people in their 40s. Many of the advanced and intermediate level students go to the beginner classes to brush up on their basics, and it gives the new students some experienced partners to help them progress. Most of all, EVERYONE is just really chill. If there's anything that might need improvement, the gym itself could use a water fountain and an interior refresh here and there. At least they sell cold beverages and bottled water for relatively cheap. Other than that, it's a pretty good size gym with a full-size ring, weight-training area, a big class mat area, and a heavybag area. You can also order your equipment through them. Test yourself and feed that inner beast. It's great fun and being with good people makes it even more worthwhile!
