I actually moved out of…read moreChicago about 2 years ago and still continue to workout with Sarah virtually - that's how good she is. Sarah has been such an incredible person in my weight loss journey. She's empathetic, kind, funny and I love knowing that no matter what issue I'm facing (pain, period, exhausted from work, etc), Sarah will always tailor my workouts to how I'm feeling, but challenge me. She's helped me have a great relationship with working out - it doesn't feel like a chore and always look forward to our 2 sessions a week. It's hard finding a gym or trainer with so many options, but I'm so glad I found this place!!

Thanking God for DMS! David, you not only helped me loose 24 pounds, but encouraged me to change my diet, manage my stress, and even made me laugh during my weekly sessions to take the pressure off. I am beyond grateful for the help and support I was offered at DMSFit_chicago. I could not have gone through so many challenges without them by my side. Physical fitness and mental health go hand-in-hand. #dmsfitchicago #Healthy #Whole

I highly recommend Urban Athlete. It's a great neighborhood gym with tons of space, lots of…read moreequipment, and lots of options for group classes. If you're looking for a gym that is well maintained, amazing trainers, and awesome members this is a great gym for you. And it's locally owned! Gotta support our local businesses! I'm really excited about the new Urban Athlete location coming soon in Lincoln Park. Though it is closed right now because of the pandemic, they are lending out their equipment to members, which is super thoughtful of them. I am looking forward to checking this place out as soon as it opens up!

606Fitness is more than a gym! Alex and his team are dedicated to not only providing a great (and…read moreseriously sweaty/swamp ass) workout, but are helpful with answering any/all questions, offering tips and tricks, modifying the exercises to your skill level (or "handicaps"). 45 min. at this place is no joke!!!! Everyone working out is there for the same reason as you - they're cool, funny and just as motivating as the 606Team. There's no time to be intimidated -- seriously, no one is looking at you -- they're working too hard to notice. Yet Alex watches to make sure you have correct form and encourages you from one station to the next with great music too (even if you hate burpees! Ugh!!!). The schedule is fit for everyone's schedules... I personally love the 530a class - yes I said 530a. Get up work out, shower, then head to work out. Sometimes I workout in the evenings as well. Go Hard or Go Home!!! Great to have a place for serious working out that's not too far from home. If you're thinking about joining, don't think anymore -- just do it! I'm so glad I did and looking forward to the end results of the 8 week challenge. Go 606ers!!!

After a year away from strength training, I recently completed the Mom:30 course offered at Windy…read moreCity as a way to ease back in to working out since having my son. The course was geared towards postpartum moms, however it shared the same thoughtful approach to classes that I had taken at Windy City prior to becoming pregnant. A new mom herself, Coach Esther did an amazing job leading us through a curated series of classes designed to teach us (or remind us) of the basics of strength training. As someone who was intimidated by gyms, especially anything involving weights, I would recommend Windy City to anyone. When they say "we meet you where you are," they really mean that! The environment is friendly, positive, and also motivating. Often times classes include a range of skill levels, which is inspiring, and the general vibe of every class is one of encouragement. I'm excited to get back into the swing of working out at Windy City!

I've never been a member of any gym. I've always worked out on my own, running biking swimming (at…read morelocal park districts) I tried out several in the city but none of them we're a good fit. I saw Windy City's 6 week challenge and decided to give it a try. After completed the challenge and 2 years later I still continue to go 5 days a week, took away some good eating habits and have kept off the 16Ibs (and 10% body fat)that I lost. Windy City is not just a gym but the vibe, the coaches, and fellow members are so supportive and encouraging. They make time for their member outside gym hours to get together for some fun. I would highly recommend WCSC to anyone of every body type to join.

I've been taking Victoria's class for over a year. I think there are four sessions per year,…read morefollowing the seasons. There are currently two classes per week (on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings). Victoria is really nice! When I was new, she always made a point of saying hello to me. She reaches out to each of us to offer motivating encouragement. Don't be fooled though, the workouts are tough! There are level 1/level 2 modifications so it works for a wide range of ability levels. The people in the class (mostly ladies) are very friendly as well. (It feels like a community.) The classes are held outside if the weather is nice enough. When it's cold, there is a large gym we use. As others have said the class is different EVERY time. Sometimes we focus on cardio and do a couple laps around the block, other times we do circuits, or tabatas, or holiday themed workouts (think mummy kicks and pumpkin lifts--literally with a pumpkin). I would be very sad if I had to move away....I would really miss my cleaning lady and Envirofit! Both would be incredibly difficult to replace. Also- before I did this class I had reservations about boot camps and committing to exercising outside. I was wrong. Being outside more frequently truly is good for those of us stuck working inside all day. With the modifications, you can do the workout that's right for you. (*You should really be able to give an extra star for a really extraordinary business.)

Victoria is incredible! I cannot recommend her highly enough. When I started with her, I was…read morestarting from ZERO, self conscious and not confident that I would stick with it (previous efforts to get in shape never lasted more than a few weeks).

Talha is the BEST trainer I have ever worked with. I have always yearned for a consistently healthy…read morelifestyle and Talha has helped me achieve this! We started working together in 2020 during the Pandemic. We started outside and moved into the studio. The studio is incredibly clean and everyone wears masks. I always felt safe there! I love how intimate the studio is. It isn't super busy like the gyms that I usually go to. We don't have to share equipment with other trainers and their clients. Now I am in Miami, FL and I work our with Talha virtually. Working with him virtually is just as hard! Talha worked with me on what equipment to buy (1 kettle bell, 2 dumbbells and an exercise ball) and made the whole process easy. I work out in my apt and Facetime with him. Super easy! In addition to the amazing workouts that I do with Talha he has also given me homework which has been so important for my progress. The workouts are personalized to fit my goals and the kind of equipment I am working with. If I ever have a question about an exercise Talha is more than happy to help me. Many of the other trainers I have worked with didn't work with me beyond the time I spent with them 1 on 1 in the gym and I didn't achieve my goals. Another reason I love working with Talha is his support around nutrition. I have always been confused about calories and macros and how to achieve my fitness goals through nutrition. I finally have a grasp of how to eat for my goals. Talha is always available if I have a question about nutrition. I have been working with Talha for almost a year now and I'm in the best shape of my life. I can actually SEE the difference in my body. I have muscles and abs for the first time ever! And I'm super strong! I look and feel amazing. Talha really cares and he is all about tough love. You can tell he really loves fitness and has a passion for it. He truly holds you accountable and cares about your progress!

Who works out there: I've been working out with Ryan Hunt at…read moreTotal Results Training for over 5 years. I have developed a love of fitness and working out thanks to Total Results Training. I continue to make friends and bond with a community of like-minded people. We are not "crazy work out people". The people I work out with are young people, older people (I am one of them--I am reluctant to admit) and some of us are dads (like me) and moms. It truly feels like a family to me...from Ryan, to my work out peers, to the other trainers. What is the work out like: No matter which group session it is, Ryan is adjusting the workout to fit the needs of each person. He has an incredible sense of what to do and how to do it so it fits into an individual person's fitness level. Five years later and Ryan is still pulling out exercises I have never done before. He is *that* good. Did I mention that on top of it all, he's a nice guy? Yeah..that too. What is the studio like: Total Results Training is Ryan's passion. The training studio is his own (not a chain) so there is a personal experience that you get from going there and from the work out. It's clean, it's well-stocked and it's bright (except maybe during an early morning work out) Ryan is not churning out the work outs, he pays attention to each person and meets their needs at every level. The committment and professional experience that is shared is very different from what I've seen at larger chain-based facilities. I'm so happy to be a part of the Total Results community. It's fun. It can be hard (today kicked my butt!). But most of all, it's rewarding and I feel *&%$-ing GREAT. You should try it too.

Been working out here since 2017. The gym is clean and well appointed, and Ryan is a great trainer.read more

I have been a member of OTF Roscoe Village for about a year. Let me first start by saying that the…read moreinstructors at OTF and at this location specifically are by far some of the best I have encountered. They all take the time while in the class to do one on one coaching to improve form and push the members harder. This is all done with a positive tone and good humor. I'd like to give a special shout out to Jordan who has taken the time to really push me further than I felt I could go in all aspects of the workout. His coaching style is subtle and encouraging and very much appreciated. The real superstars of the studio are the front desk staff and management. They do everything to keep the place running and looking great. The studio and bathrooms are spotless. The folks who do this also take the time to get to know each member. They are as much a coach as the people running the classes. I absolutely look forward to seeing their smiling faces every day. I don't know how they do it because customer service is HARD work, but they are the experts at keeping the members happy. Finally, OTF is a great freaking workout. I have always tried to stay in shape my entire life and feel like I am in the best shape ever. If you are intimidated by "boot camps" this is the place to go no matter what your fitness level is.
