It all began a year ago when my clothes were getting tight and I needed to get back in shape and out of my treadmill (BORING) work-out. Based on previous yelp reviews, I chose to check out Treads because it was right down my block. I emailed them and received an immediate response to come in, check out the gym & and get a training session (for FREE! Woo-hoo! Who doesn't like free stuff??). After my first session, I was hooked. Now that it's been a year, I am still extremely pleased with my decision to train here... for multiple reasons. First, the trainers are top -notch and know their stuff. They are good at explaining work-outs, not only "how" but "why?". Second, the work-outs are different every time I train. If you've had a bad day at work and want to do some boxing, you can do it! If you want to tone up a specific body part, not a problem, they'll tailor the workout appropriately. THIRD, their schedules are extremely flexible. Whenever I ask for a time, they do their best to make it work. If the time doesn't work, they offer another option (It's never just "no, not available.") Fourth, it's a NO JUDGEMENT ZONE. I don't have to weigh in every time I go and, when I asked for nutrition/diet advice, they happily provided it to me. I feel the strongest and healthiest I have in years, all thanks to treads. Finally, the dog is cute. I don't think any animal likes being antagonized by people on the other side of a fence. This business is rockin', like my bod and the trainers :) read more

Treads Gym - Gettin' my sweat on at 6 am - Trainers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Regina and Trevor changed everything for me. Not exaggerating. I used to be 260lbs 10 years ago, and since then have lost weight, but had been up and down from 2014-17 ranging from 180-205lbs. I could not beat this plateau. I was starving myself and only doing cardio. I would be great for 4 days, and then binge and have to start all over. I initially went to Treads Gym because of their great yelp reviews and they were a block away (so I would have no excuse not to make it to the gym). They did an initial consultation for an hour where they took me through a workout and then at the end kept asking how I felt, and made sure I was comfortable. They didn't force me to sign up, and that is the exact reason why I went with them. 12 months later of working out with them twice a week, and the results speak for themselves (see attached picture). I went from Jan 2018 at 190lbs 28% body fat, to Jan 2019, 170lbs 22% body fat. These two helped me realize that lifting weights will not bulk you up, but slim you down in spots you didn't even know existed. Working out with them, reinvigorates me every week to keep going. You have to make sure your nutrition is on point and you are consistent, and these two will help monitor that for you. Reg & Trev have become very good friends of mine, and I truly owe them for my new perspective on working out. Thank you both, and if you are a potential client reading this, get your ass to Treads gym. If you have ever heard of YOLO, make sure your one life you live involves this gym and the trainers! read more

Treads Gym - Trevor and me after my first visit! - Trainers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If you're anything like me fitness might not be your favorite thing, or your go-to, but more a means to an end. At least that's how I did feel, until I started training with Trevor and Regina. I need 2 things in order to make a workout worth-wild: 1. I can't get bored. I've been to monthly member gyms and hired their "trainers" for 2+ weeks (usually via promotional trial) and it's always the same: standard routines on a piece of paper, with a breakdown of "Leg Day" vs "Arm Day" and a few core exercises spliced within. BORING. Not only does my mind get bored, my muscles do too. And nobody really cares about my form or my progression. How does Treads & Training Revolution differ? Trevor and Regina legitimately care about you as a person, and they care about the entertaining side of fitness. I've trained with Trevor for almost 2 years and I have NEVER done the same workout twice. NEVER. We may do variations of the same exercises, but even that is rare. He and Regina continuously study and come up with new routines, so it benefits your mind and body. I've never known anyone to truly utilize every inch of their gym and every machine or piece of equipment they own, better than these two. 2. Motivation. This is even more important than my first point. My personal motivators include "I made an appointment", "I pre-paid", or "Someone is counting on me to be there". Of course these motivators come into play with any class or training session you book BUT at Treads and Training Revolution the trainers care about you as an individual, and that's a whole different kind of motivation. When you walk into Treads you'll see 5+ wedding invitations on their desk at any time, all from clients. Why? Because they care. If I try and send a punk-out text to Trevor saying, "I had a bad day" or "I'm feeling lazy" he encourages me to come in. "4% of your Day" he tells me. During our workouts (class or one-on-one) both trainers and clients are encouraging you to "Do 5 more". Working out, losing weight, toning up - these are emotional battles. Life in general can be stressful and emotional. Trevor and Regina know and respect that and they know how to support you. They're more than just trainers, they're the BEST trainers. read more

If you are looking for personal training Treads is awesome. First of all the trainers are extremely qualified and really good at what they do. They will take the time to build a work out plan specific to what you need. I just had a baby and need a flexible yet intense workout to help me lose the baby weight. The facility is small but has everything you need. It's nice and cool inside and smells nice(unlike training at most major gyms). They have alternative methods of training which makes for an interesting and fun work out. It's nice to support local small businesses rather than paying a gym for personal training. Gyms take a big portion of the money. This helps keeps Treads prices competitive. I have been training at a major gym for about a year and a half and it's less expensive at Treads. read more

Super friendly and passionate trainers. Intimate gym. Get ready for a workout!

Great personal attention and creativity in the was work outs are designed. Size of gym is perfect for one on one focused result oriented training. Trevor is great and tailors his training to meet your goals. read more

I can't say enough about this gym. Treads is a fresh relief from a world filled with massive franchise gyms and crowded group classes. It is a community where you can workout with world class trainers in an individualized setting. For Trevor and Regina this gym is their passion and they put everything they have into making it an awesome and productive place for their clients. They have clients of all shapes and sizes, from average Joes/Jills looking to get back into shape to professional athletes training for their next event. They are able to come up with creative, engaging, and exhausting workouts for people of all levels. They have a strong focus on quantifiable fitness goals (weight lifting metrics, benchmark workout times, body weight etc..) and they really hold themselves accountable to seeing you progress through those goals. During my time at Treads I have seen more progress in my athletic goals than during any other period of my life. I recommend that others give it a try. read more

Regina and Trevor are amazing. I was looking for a place to box after a calf injury and after trying a few other places around town - they just don't compare to Treads. Regina and Trevor are friendly, listen and *teach* you about technique. They aren't afraid to tell you what you need to hear which I heart as well and each week there is a different creative workout. I also love that it isn't a regular gym - just a space where you can go and focus on working out without dealing with the crowds. Yes, please. read more

Best training you'll find in all of Lincoln Park and Lakeview. Trevor and Regina are dedicated, fun, and they got things done. Lost 15 pounds of fat in under a year. Prices were reasonable. Compared to Yoga and other gyms I've joined, it's priced completely reasonably. read more

I love training with Regina. She is super fit involved from anything from cross fit type training, boxing, running, etc. She truly listens to her clients and their personal goals. She has clients looking to lose weight, lifting weights for competition, tone, etc. I am a runner but understand the importance of lifting weights, working on flexibilty, and getting a full body workout and feel she pushes me more than I would on my own while showing me creative exercises, safe and proper techniques. She also understands a woman body in what she uses in her training sessions. She always keeps it fresh. Trevor and her are always bringing in new equipment to mix it up. She loves her job and is passionate about fitness and nutrition. She undoubtedly will get you what you want out of your body and fitness level. read more

We all have our ideas as to what it means to be a hero....as kids we think of firemen, doctors and teachers. But, personal trainers!? That never crossed my mind until I began working out with Regina. I know it sounds cheesy, but she has truly changed my life. Regina with her holistic approach has helped me feel healthier, younger, and stronger than I've ever been. She was even able to tailor workouts during my pregnancy to help me avoid complications and even my doctor was impressed! There is an immediate sense of peace, belonging, and strength I feel the second I enter the door for each work out. As a cancer survivor, my health means more to me now than ever. There is no better person to help guide my wellness and strength. I truly feel honored to have her in my corner. read more

Treads is AMAZING :)))) Regina and Trevor are exceptional. I moved from Michigan a few months back and hated the process of replacing everyone...trainer, hair, nails, etc etc, however a trainer was the first stop and after seeing a friends FB post about her trainer I opted to try her out...and NEVER looked back. Regina is the best!!!!! She is fun, creative and REALLY knows how to push you. I have never done the same workout twice and I am learning how to box...real gloves on boxing NO CARDIO KICKBOX CRAP! There is NOT a judgmental gym w/lots of frills, but they have EVERYTHING you and MORE!! Not to mention it is priced beyond fair! You will not be disappointed-you will be BEYOND impressed!! read more

If you are looking for a great personal training experience in Lincoln Park, Regina and Trevor from Treads Gym should be your go to. Not only are they fun, energetic and wholeheartedly dedicated to fitness and a healthy lifestyle they truly care about each of their clients. I have been coming to Treads for 4+ years and I know that I have never done the same workout twice, they keep things interesting and cater to your needs while also pushing you to the next level. If group fitness is more your thing, they just opened a second location in Wicker Park that is more focused around group classes. All of the equipment is brand new and the workouts are both challenging and fun! read more

Kudos to Treads Gym! Absolutely love everything about this place! I've been coming to this gym for almost 3 years now! I have never felt better! I not only have lost my difficult weight but gained muscle and bone strength. Three years ago my doctor told me I had osteopenia and needed to either take Fosamax or do strength training. I, of course chose strength training! I can now say my new bone density test is in the normal range! Thank you to Trevor and Regina for pushing me and showing me that hard work does pay off! I don't know how they come up with a new workout every week for me. Amazing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart (Which is now healthy) lol I would recommend this gym for any age! read more

The personal trainers at this gym are fantastic. They're creative, motivating, fun, professional and very qualified. They work within the goals you set for yourself and help push you to achieve those goals. I need to work out or my mental health suffers and Regina has done a wonderful job of helping to not only give me a positive stress reliever, but also lose weight, sculpt my muscles, help my endurance and increase my vertical. I am a (former) marathoner due to injuries and she has helped me rehab after hip surgery in addition to all the stuff I mentioned above! The gym is small, but there are only at most 2-4 clients in at a time so there's no pressure to be perfect, beautiful or buff, just to work hard in a low-pressure environment. They always come up with new ways to work out muscle groups so the small size is definitely NOT a disadvantage. I like how most of the exercises we do involve multiple muscle groups so it feels like a more complete workout--no isolating muscles on machines. I used to go to Bally's and pay low prices but watch corporate take most of that money despite doing none of the work. Treads low prices help the trainers expand their business and the money goes to the people who are doing the work! Support local business! read more
