I have family in the area, though Shred415 wasn't around when I was a kid. When I'm home to see my parents and want a real burn, this is where I go. Group fitness wasn't really a thing when I left the North Shore. Many years and hundreds of classes later, I'm fully hooked. The format is simple, hard, and effective: treadmill intervals, calisthenics with hand weights, bodyweight work, and enough stretching to keep the class feeling complete. The programming is already built, so I can put my mind on cruise control and follow the workout in front of me. Then it's about effort, sustainability, and staying honest with myself. That combination builds strength, helps me lose weight, and keeps me flexible without risking injury. The Northfield studio is clean, well laid out, and easy to settle into, with big bathrooms, showers, and childcare, which is a huge plus if you have little ones. The app is easy to use, and the class times are solid. The classes are busy but I can usually find something that works when I'm back in town. I've taken classes with Meg, Jacki, Marci, Melissa, and Kim; all have been great. I'll absolutely be back!

Since Covid, I've limited myself to running outdoors and doing stairs during breaks at work…read more Unfortunately my individual efforts are simply not enough. I know I need to vary my workout and shed additional pounds but most off all, I need the motivation to make it a regular habit. I started to research a few gyms with Shred415 being one of them. They're a circuit training gym offering group classes and caters to all skill levels. On my recent visit, Jordan was my instructor. She was awesome. She was lively, showed us proper form when switching to floor exercises and kept us motivated the entire time. Their parking lot is ample and I didn't have trouble finding a space. I'm hoping to make a decision in a month and glad I got the chance to try this place out.

The pool, basketball courts, and family amenities make it a great option for individuals and families alike. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it can get very busy during peak hours, and the premium membership price is on the higher side. Overall, it's a well-maintained fitness club with plenty to offer, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality gym.

Only recently did our fees go up but again it's worth being a member if you go enough and take advantage of any of their other amenities like their daycare, the indoor and outdoor pools. We have heard there's a waiting list and believe it as it does get crowded at times but not super crowded. I have been to several other Lifetime properties in the Chicagoland area and this is in my top 5 locations. The staff is great as well as the trainers that work there. You can tell business is good when you rarely see a trainer solo. Instead they are working with clients, training away. I do find it strange that the GM trains some people as he's taking away from his other trainers. The folks at the Cafe are wonderful and friendly as well. Let's not forget about the workers at the Daycare! Doreen, Wilma and their crew all work their tail off taking care of the babies, toddlers and kids. God bless em. There is parking lot parking available but at times it does get full.

It's small enough that clients receive personal attention/help during group circuit training. The guidance and tips from trainers Goran & Mia absolutely improved my somewhat marginal positioning during various exercises. And they constantly watch out for people so they don't overdo. But be clear, if they know you can do a few more reps, they will cheer you on to squeeze a few more in. Goran says once it starts to feel like you are getting tired from the reps, try to do 5 more because those last 5 are the ones that really count to tax your muscles so they will strengthen. Everyone is encouraging and kind and truly wants to see you improve and get stronger. And in my first several weeks of going (1 hr 3x week), I meet some wonderful people who have been going to Premier Fitness for many years, even decades! That should tell you something right there!

I have belonged to this fitness center on and off for 15 years and am a huge fan…read more No, it is not a deluxe health club and spa facility, it is a good, basic gym with everything you need to get a fine workout: plenty of cardio and weight machines, exercise mats, jump ropes and other tools for calisthenic work. There are freshly laundered towels and a basic locker room with showers. The water fountains are cold and there are hanging TVs that are tuned to radio frequencies so you can watch and listen to a variety of TV shows. The price is $75/month, or something like $60/month if you pay the annual fee. All in all, pretty good value for access to all that equipment. There is also childcare available for $6 up to an hour and a half, which seems pretty cheap to me, especially given that so many people rave about its quality. They have started offering a few group fitness classes, but I can't speak to those other than by saying that all the classes are early morning, and there isn't much variety. I am not giving it five stars because I think its day pass rate is expensive ($15) and wish it provided a punch card option for people who can't work out regularly, but would nevertheless like occasional access to the gym. I would also like more variety of fitness classes (spinning?). Nevertheless, I recommend this to anyone looking for a low-key, no-fuss gym.

I was pulling up to Shred415 one day when I noticed Sweatshack a few doors down. I asked the front…read moredesk staff if they knew anything about it and they said Jordan Shackelford (the owner) had opened it up as a personal training studio. I checked out their website and was super excited to see that some of my favorite shred instructors (Jordan, Meg, Jenny and Courtney to name a few) were now available for personal training sessions. And it was so easy to book- right thru the mind body app. I booked a session with Jenny since I always like her Shred classes since she's very clear on exactly what you're doing next. And when you're about to run up a hill I personally want to know ahead of time! She was just as good of a trainer and we did a 45 minute circuit focusing on the entire body with some bursts of cardio. It was challenging, but doable...and I was shaking from the workout 30 minutes after I left. I workout a lot and can't remember the last time that happened! They also offer pilates sessions, which I may try at some point. I'm on a lagree kick right now because I was finding pilates to be a little slow, but have a feeling that won't be the case with their trainers. The pricing is a little expensive compared to what I've seen. For 45 minutes it was $110, but you can also book a 2 on 1 training session for $90 or a 3 on 1 session for $75. My friend and I booked a future session with Jenny, but if you don't have someone to go with you can book the 2 on 1 or 3 on 1 option...and someone else can sign up at the same time. And if you buy a package of 10 thru the mindbody app it's $50 off, which i'll likely do after i give it a few more tries and decide it's something I"d like to invest in. I'm hoping the have other good deals on packages like they offered at Shred415. I look forward to getting my butt kicked here by Jenny and/or the other trainers here soon!

I was so…read moreexcited to try out another barre option than my traditional Daily Method or Barre 3 in Washington DC, where I live. LOVED this small studio! The studio staff was very welcoming and the class was quite small - only 4 people, since it was just a few days after the Christmas holiday. The instructor gave great personalized attention during the class and was also kind enough to notice I didn't have grippy socks for the class, and borrowed me a pair from the studio (free of charge!). She was great at giving adjustments throughout the class and always there with a "you've got this!" when anyone needed one. I really appreciated her positive energy and that she checked in after class to see what I thought. The 45 minute class felt just as good as any 60 minute barre class in terms of challenge and level of physical exertion. I loved that the combined arm/leg exercises gave you the same level of workout but in 45 min! The 45 minute class also still included a savasana and stretching, which is always a nice way to finish a tough workout. The facilities are also very modern and provide everything you need - lockers to store your stuff, towels to use while in studio, shampoo/conditioner in the showers, 1 hair dryer, deodorant, tampons, etc. Thanks SALT! I will definitely try them again if I'm in the area and recommend to friends/family for a good workout!

I prefer a lot of cardio when it comes to my workouts and whenever I try Dailey Method my mind starts to wander and then I realize I'm not even doing the move correctly...and there goes my workout. When my nanny called in sick today I found myself wondering what I would do with my 2 year old for 5 hours until his sister was ready to be picked up at school. Friends mentioned they were taking their 2 year olds to the Dailey Method while they did a class so I figured I'd give it another shot. If the workout wasn't any good at least my son would have fun for an hour playing with the other kids. I haven't left him on his own very often so admittedly I was a bit nervous about it, but figured this would be good prep for camp this summer. I was so impressed with the kids club. It's a small room, but had everything my son would want to keep him entertained for an hour: trains, a kitchen & (yes) a TV. Elizabeth was the caretaker in the room and she was very warm and the kids took to her instantly. In fact, when I went to pick up my son an hour later he didn't want to go home and was giving Elizabeth hugs. Sooo if you're looking for somewhere to workout with good children THIS is it. The class itself was fine. It was a Dailey Basics class so easier than most. Debbie, the instructor, played great music, had complete control of the class and did her best to make sure we were all doing the moves correctly. I did find my mind wandering a lot during the class & feel like I didn't actually get a workout today, but that's based on my own preferences & not the class itself. If you like bar classes you would likely be a fan of Debbie's class. I was excited to see that they offer spinning here. That's one class I'd definitely be interested in trying since it combines cardio with body sculpting. So perhaps I"ll be back for that...and for my little one to visit his new friend & toys in the kids room.
