This gym is clean, the owner is nice and professional, I really appreciate the different workout areas - its nice to have your own space to workout. They have a wide variety of fitness equipment as well as a workout of the day which is a great motivator to work out. read more

I'll never be able to go back to a "Global Gym" again. Being able to schedule and reserve a station to myself is the only way to workout. Each pod has everything I need to get in a great workout. I no longer have to wait on equipment to become free or deal with the people who don't have gym etiquette. I never have difficulty reserving my spot, and if needed Victor is very responsive, and very accommodating if my schedule changes last second. The website makes it super view and book my workout times. Victor, the trainers, and all the members are all very friendly, and contribute to a safe and comfortable workout environment. read more

Love this place! Top notch trainers and awesome facility. They've helped me get back into a healthy space for my mind and body! Highly recommend, they are truly professionals who are passionate, knowledgeable, and kind in their approach! read more

Victory Training - Trainers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Update: 7/27/18 - Victory is still going strong with great equipment and trainers. Victor, the owner, came through for me when my other place was closed. Super excited since he has since expanded and now offers Jiu Jitsu classes too. Can't wait to try em out. ********* This is a top notch facility with great equipment in a convenient location. My normal criteria for evaluating a gym are: programming, coaches and the facility itself, since I chose the individual membership, my review is mainly on the latter two. The facility is a great studio with brand-new equipment. Barbells, free weights, cardio equipment, rings and the like. You can reserve an hour slot Monday through Saturday to work out free of distraction. The owners, Victor and Sylvia, are great too! Extremely friendly staff who will give you a spot and are willing to let you finish your work out, even if it goes over their normal closing time. They also have a posted work out in case you're looking for ideas. Since I was on an individual membership, I didn't use their classes or one-on-one training but I did observe, and found those to be very focused. I can't wait for them to expand. Hopefully it will be with higher ceilings so I get the most out of the rings and my oly lifts. read more

This is a great gym! I have had countless memberships to big commercial gyms over the years, and was tired of the crowds and overall stressful atmosphere. Victory has been a refreshing change for me. The owner is wonderful -- he connected me to an awesome trainer and I work out there twice a week. I enjoy my workouts, feel amazing, and appreciate the overall personalized experience. Highly recommend! read more

This gym is a hidden gem! I walked by several times and wasn't sure if it was a good fit for me. When I finally tried it out in March of 2018, I couldn't believe what I had been missing. I learned how to use equipment properly, how to challenge myself and how to make real gains. As an independent member, I am able to reserve a station and I have access to a workout of the day. The workout of the day forces me to step out of my comfort zone and work out parts of my body that I used to neglect. The owner, Victor, genuinely cares about all of his clients and their goals. The other trainers, Pat and Jonathan, are so knowledgeable and make working out so much fun! They have created a strong community that makes this gym so much more than just a gym. read more

Victor is an excellent trainer and a great person. I loved working out with him and was excited to see a body transformation during my training with him. He pushed me and challenged me. As a result, I slimmed down, toned up, and gained muscle. I would highly recommend Victor. He offers great deals that can't be beat. The only reason I stopped working out with him is because of my schedule and location. If Victory Training is convenient for you, I recommend signing up. read more

I loved working out a VT. They give your everything you need and cut out all the frills. When you sign up for your time, you get your own workout station that has everything you need. They will also provide a work out of the day and advice from the friendly trainers if needed. If you live near Roscoe Village and are tired of waiting line at your $30/month gym, this is for you. VT gets you in and out and on with your day feeling great! read more

I started with the 6 week challenge in October and met my goal, and now it's March. I feel stronger, healthier and I have built a routine for coming here. Of course I have proudly lost weight and gained muscle too! I have met many people from the community with the same struggles and goals, and I am continuously being educated by the trainers with proper exercise form, food and overall support! The unique size gym and classes allow members to receive the 1 on 1 attention from certified trainers and onsite owner. Compared to gyms like XSport where there is too much going on, half the time you're not sure if you're doing things properly and the trainers tend not to be fully there for their members. Thank you VT! read more

This is a great neighborhood gym filled with lots of awesome trainers, each with different types of training expertise. I've been training here for over a year now and originally came from a Crossfit gym. In the beginning I stuck with my "Crossfit-like" WOD's and then transitioned to more traditional strength training. I injured myself a few times along the way and there's even a trainer here who specializes in identifying the injury and creating a rehab program to gain your strength back. No matter what type of training you are looking for, Victory Training has it! read more

I never want to work out, but really enjoyed the support and independence a small studio provides! Booking your appointment online is easy and everything you need is right there!! Would highly recommend, if you're looking for an efficient workout. I've worked out here off and on for three years, but I can't picture going to a regular gym anymore... maybe if Victor or Sylvia show me what to do! read more

Victory Training has it all! I started with metabolic training and since then, I done Zumba, yoga and cardio kickboxing. After my first day in class I felt exhausted, now I can keep up and better, my clothes fit so much better. The class is very challenging and a lot of fun. If you want a challenge and you're looking for a place with small class sizes and a fun group of people to workout with at a reasonable price, check out Victory Training. You won't regret it. Victory Training has something for everyone. read more

Great workout facility!! The Zumba classes are intense and a lot of fun. I joined about a month ago and I'm already seeing great results with myself. read more

love this place. you get one on one training without the out of control cost of a personal trainer. I've learned a ton of new workouts in the past 8 months I've been going there. if you want to challenge yourself and you over the "run of the mill" health club, check out victory... you won't be sorry. read more

So happy I found this gem (gym)! Was intimidated by the thought of crossfit and personal training and this facility totally changed my mind. Amazing personal attention and always takes the time to really learn about you as an individual. They listen to preferences, goals, and even day to day nutrition. Never pushy and I'm always appreciative of suggestions and recommendations. Within days, my form(s) has been corrected, or perfected, and I feel a difference mentally and psychically. Victor and James really know how to pump someone (and everyone) up and give them the "I can do this!" attitude that everyone has inside of them. I'm pumped to see my transformation and believe this place can help me achieve anything I want for myself. Thank you Vic and James! read more

I started with the zumba classes over 9 months ago. I've lost over 20lbs and its amazing how I feel. The classes are so much fun that I look forward to doing the classes every time. Its so affordable you can't beat the price! Best investment I've made so far and its worth every penny! Now I've started doing yoga and Kickboxing classes which they now also offer and it makes my workout even better! If you are looking for a great workout with great people come join in on the fun...I swear you will not regret it! read more

I contacted them after seeing the "Six Week Challenge" promo on FB. The false and misleading advertising claimed it was "FREE" for the first 40 people who signed up. It's $499, which is refunded if you obtain the results you agree to. (i.e. Drop 5% body fat in six weeks.) This would be fine if they advertised it that way, but they don't. You won't find that out until you waste your time by going in for your "initial consultation", which I had with Derek. Additionally, I scheduled the consult, and then received word that they weren't available for my booked spot, and that I would need to reschedule. When I said I would have to wait to check my schedule when I got home, they told me they only had 12 spots left. So I shouldn't wait. *(Instead of just apologizing for having to reschedule me and saying they would hold my spot until I had time to respond.) Unimpressed with the false advertising, time wasting and way they conduct business. The "gym" is a tiny room up front. You step down into an even smaller "meeting" room in back. Derek mentioned another room further in back, but I never saw that. read more

Victory Training is one of the best places I've trained. It may look small from the outside, but there is massive talent inside. The trainers have a welth of knowledge and customize your workouts specific to your goals. I trained with Thomas who pushed me while at the same time being very careful not to aggravate old injuries. From stretching to kettlebells to body weight exercises to to weights to striking- we did it all. The price is extremely reasonable given the one on one attention you receive from the staff. The owner Victor is great as well. He is invested in the success of every single customer that walks through the door. I highly recommend Victory Training!! read more

I was paying almost $300 a month for unlimited personal training sessions. Stopped it because I didn't feel any value. And also because they introduced a $75 independent membership to people which pretty much looked like the same thing I was getting. I have friends in the neighborhood that continue to pay the ridiculous prices. Victor is a bad business man and a terrible trainer. He was giving me the same workouts over and over again. He has a few less than desirable clients that workout at the gym. They are loud, obnoxious and come in smelling like Marijuana! Avoid this gym if you are looking to get your money's worth! read more

Haven't written a review in a long time here, however I feel my experience or lackthereof warranted one. I signed up for Victory's 6 week ftee challenge last week. Set up my orientation time for 7:30 yesterday. Since I'm coming fron work I figured I could come in earlier so I tried calling to see if I could come in at 6:30 instead. I called multiple times with no answer. I finally found the number to the girl Stephanie who had confirmed my orientation. Texted her and she said it was ok to come in earlier. I had already emailed them through the link on their site asking the same thing. Stephanie promptly responded so I headed there after work. I arrived at 6:33 and a gentleman walked up to me introduced himself (can't remember his name but he was a short Asian dude) told me the trainer would be with me in about 5 minutes. He told me to wait OUTSIDE. Ok... granted the place is pretty small and the little I did see I didnt spot a chair, but still. Didn't think I'd be waiting outside and "catch some fresh air" like he put it. I waited. And waited. And then realized it had been close to 30 minutes and no one had come to get me. When i look in, everyone was doing their own thing. I left. I wasted my time and was never even spoken to. To make it worse, I got at least 3 emails reminding me of my orientation. Not a single call from anyone to at least apologize for forgetting that I was standing outside like an idiot all that time. Incredibly unprofessional. And no I don't think that I should have called them or went inside. Reeeally disappointing to say the least. read more

"Great personalized workouts! Everyday is a new challenge. This type of training keeps you motivated! Johnny helped train me while pregnant. Recovery has been quick and I am back in my normal clothes less than a month after having my third child." read more

This is a hidden gem. Victor is a great trainer who keeps it very loose and establishes a great atmosphere and relationships with his clients. His great relationships and attitude leaves you motivated to come in day after day and accomplish the goals and workouts that he has personally created to meet whatever fitness and health goals you have. Very affordable compared to other personal training venues and also has a very affordable normal gym membership. Check it out. read more
