TRAIN MOMENT (West Loop)

Gym

👍👍 I want to start this review by saying that I am not a person who works out regularly and if I do, I stick to cardio since everything else is intimidating. I live nearby and decided to push myself out of my comfort zone and check it out. I had never taken a group class before, so I went in feeling ve...

Windy City Strength & Conditioning

Fitness center

👍👍 I can’t say enough about Windy City! I’ve never done CrossFit before and it seemed intimidating at first. Once you sign up, they require two private lessons to ease you in and teach you proper techniques before your first class. The coaches are very aware of each persons abilities and will always ha...

Pure Barre

Jaguar Strength & Conditioning | Home of Chicago Ave CrossFit

Gym

👍👍 Intelligent, periodized programming. Engaged, experienced, and truly passionate coaching. A first-class facility and a world class community. Before finding Jag, I’d been crossfitting for ~5 years at your typical WOD-centric box. In my mid-thirties, my performance had plateaued, and the incessant g...

Fit Code - Midway

Fitness center

👍👍 Fit Code is not your typical gym, which is why I love it. I hadn't been to a gym in at least 15 years because I couldn't afford a personal trainer and I didn't know how to use all the machines properly. I first joined to lose the Covid weight that I gained. I did the 20 lbs in 6 weeks challenge a...

Fitvengers

Fitness center

👍👍 If you are like me, I struggle with working out alone. I either don’t know what to do or don’t have energy/confidence to do it alone.
