    I signed up with Steel Fitness looking for a personal trainer that would help me achieve my fitness goals. I have been training with Christina these last few months and not only has she helped me achieve my goals, but she has educated me on so much. I always look forward to my sessions with her because of her motivation and guidance. This gym overall has a great atmosphere with a team that truly cares about their clients

    I've been going to steel for over 2 years now and have seen it evolve into it's bigger space. The gym is always clean and maintained. The trainers take their jobs seriously and always ensure everyone has a safe, yet rigorous workout. The owner is there almost every day which helps as he is able to personally make sure that any issues with the equipment are addressed immediately.

    Steel Fitness is an amazing gym with really great and knowledgable trainers! The space is well-equipped with all the equipment and space you'll ever need. It's also a community with the best & kind people who share the same goal of wellness. What brought me to Steel was their personal training program and it has been one of the best decisions of my life! Josh is an amazing personal trainer! He has helped me lose weight in an effective and safe way. He is focused on helping me achieve my fitness goals and makes every session both fun and challenging. I noticeably seen improvements in my form when it comes to weight-lifting and I feel myself getting stronger every week. I also have worked with Cristina for my diet and she consistently helps me make healthier meal choices and stay accountable. Thanks to Steel Fitness, I've adopted a better and healthier lifestyle and feel great! I highly recommend you sign up for a membership!

    From the moment I walked into this gym as a guest, I knew it would be my home away from home. The owners are extremely friendly, kind, and motivating and don't take any BS. The atmosphere of the gym is very safe and all of the equipment is well taken care of. I cannot see myself going to any other gym than Steel! And don't miss out on the amazing Cafe. I'll go in once in a while for a nice reward after a workout. If I can give Steel over a 5 star rating, I would.

    I want to write this review so potential clients know what a great trainer Cristina is. She is a kind of trainer who would not only motivate you but push you to reach your goals and also makes every session challenging 😊 I have a great trainer who truly understands my needs and knows how to motivate me ...

    The gym is a hidden gem and it shouldn't be. As soon as you walk in, you can tell that this gym is different than anything else you have experience in the past. Everything in this gym is focus and results driven. It's a variety of men and female clients, as well as trainers. all of the trainers are certified, and most of them are competing on stage, which gives this gym, that extra edge and extra knowledge that others do not have, Boris is a man of integrity and he loves what he does every client as soon as they walk in their welcomed as they've been there for years and they make you feel comfortable as you have been part of that family for over a decade. On top of that the trainer will Customize your workout and meal plan as it fits to your body, strength, age, and the expectancy of the workout. If you're looking to get in shape and get better results whether it's for next summer or I'm betting or it's just your lifestyle, this is the only place that I've been to unless 20 years and made it happen for me and I have changed over 12 gym memberships Working with Boris directly I went from 220 pounds over 20% body fat 285 pounds and about 10% body fat in less than four months. We customize the meal for my body as well as specific workout routines that got me shredded for the summer last year in Europe , I love the way I looked everyone around me noticed that immediately every week the goal was to drop 2 pounds and we made it happen together this gym also offer us meal plans which is prepared by one of the top chefs in North America and let me tell you I am not cooking home anymore or buying food elsewhere. do you also offer boxing classes which has a full floor of chess boxing bags, kickboxing bags and a whole stretch out area. Boris and Cristina are phenomenal couple they run a spectacular business but overall to them it's not a business. It's what they love and they're all driven to give clients best results , you will not find a better place to complete your goals whether it's losing weight or just simply getting into a better shape. I highly highly recommend everyone to try it at least for 30 days. Best life decisions I have made.

    I was visiting family for several days and needed to find a good gym in the area. I got in touch with Steel Fitness and from start to finish the experience very much exceeded my expectations. The owner welcomed me, talked, showed me around, and just had a great friendly attitude. The gym itself truly has everything you would need, and is extremely clean and organized. All around Steel fitness is a fantastic gym, top notch equipment, and a great environment that stems from the owner. Their cafe next door is also excellent and has tons of healthy options to grab on your way out from smoothies to meal prep. Thank you for the great experience and I’ll see you next time I come to town!

    This is the best gym I’ve ever been to. It’s so clean, the staff are extremely inviting and knowledgeable on so many different levels of health. This gym has changed my entire outlook on going to the gym period. I started at this gym at 245lbs and within a few months I was down to 175lbs. This gym and the people that work here can change your life. I highly recommend this gym to everyone. They also have a cafe next door with meals already prepared for you. You want to start your next chapter in you fitness journey start here!

    I switched from a public gym to steel fitness about 2 years ago and the difference between a family owned gym like this compared to a commercial gym is insane. The gym owners actually care about the gym and are always adding new equipment, the people who work out here have great gym etiquette, and it’s open 24/7. I’ll never go back to a commercial gym after going to steel. Also, the equipment is insane, there’s tons of Arsenal strength equipment (widely known as one of the best brands for gym equipment) and they equipment itself is unique like the laying down chest fly and vertical leg press along with a ton more. Overall, in my opinion the best gym in this area, would highly recommend.

    Best gym in the Chicagoland area and it’s not even close! Highly recommend Steel Fitness for anyone at any level in their fitness journey! The staff and trainers are very friendly and educational for beginners and the equipment/machines are unmatched if you are trying to take your weightlifting to the next level. Overall Steel Fitness is a very inclusive and well maintained gym and even has an awesome restaurant/cafe attached for a great post workout meal or snack! Keep up the great work!

    I was able to train with Cristina and her son. They’re both super professional and keep you motivated. They push you to be better even when you feel like giving up! I’ve only been there two months and I’ve seen such a difference in my body already! I’d definitely recommend coming here. The other trainers are very nice and they make you feel welcomed. They also offered physical therapy in there which helped me because I’ve struggled with many injuries. James was amazing! I’d give more stars if i could!

    I started at Steel Fitness while I was training with Coach Drake. The club environment was very welcoming and that was reflected in the variety of the sizes and shapes of all of the clients. This wasn't a body builder's gym but a health focused gym whose staff was there to help you reach any/all of your fitness goals in an encouraging atmosphere. The entire gym was spotless and the management team obviously took a great deal of pride in not only the appearance but in making critical investments in top of the line gear. Boris the owner was always attentive, welcoming guests and cultivating the atmosphere. All around, the best member experience I've ever had.

    Steel Fitness club is the best on this planet. My trainer Cristina is incredible and phenomenal. She strikes the right balance between pushing and inspiring. She motivates and I look forward to my sessions with her more than anything else. I have been training for 14 weeks and the outcomes have been significant- lost 8 pounds and on way to be more toned overall.

  • 5/5 Sarah B. 3 years ago on Google
    I want to start off by saying before I worked with Cristina I was working with a nutritionist, primarily eating paleo and running 2-3 times a week. I say that because I was doing all that and not seeing the results I hoped for. I was referred to Cristina by a friend who I saw had great results with her. When I met Cristina I could tell she cares deeply about her clients and their success. She asked me about the foods I like, customized a diet for me and we started working out twice a week. Cristina is great because she's an excellent teacher. Her personal training sessions have taught me how to create a varied and effective workout. She consistently explains why we're doing what we're doing. She is very proactive and checks in to ask what you need. She provided good information about healthy diets and food alternatives that is useful in everyday situations as I traveled. She is easy to talk to....someone who makes you feel very comfortable as you put yourself in the somewhat vulnerable position of attempting self-improvement. Best part is I've seen results: I lost 30 lbs so far, I feel great as and I take less medicine. I just feel so much better about myself. It is worth the investment!

    Great gym, was in town for a week but was treated like long time family. Borris and Zack are fantastic humans and experts in their field. The attached kitchen is delicious and affordable $10 meal prep and other protein packed goodies.

  • 5/5 Donna A. 4 years ago on Google
    Really love this place. I come early so the 24 hour key card access is awesome. They have everything you could need to have a great workout , plus some things that you can only find in a smaller serious gym. I don’t see the owners very often because I’m so early in the morning but every time I do have interactions with them it’s been nothing short of family type. I do have another membership at Xsport but think that this definitely will be my new full time gym for many reasons being respectful members, great equipment, and so clean. Thanks Boris for the great gym💪 Feras Dajani

    Was in town visiting in-laws for a week and needed a gym for a few days. The owner, Boris, was super friendly and accomodating. Small business gym with all the essentials and positive atmosphere. And the smoothies at the attached cafe are fantastic! Will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Albert J. 6 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    This place is amazing! I can't say enough good things about Steel Fitness. Boris and company keep an awesome and comfortable atmosphere for fitness training at any level. The equipment is not only state of that art but it's also maintenanced and cleaned regularly. They house an unbelievable amount of fitness accessories, from a vast array of medicine balls and kettle bells to the diverse size of back rollers. There are enough weight racks to go around as well! For the price and accessibility there is no reason to waste your time anywhere else💯 Go by and see for yourself.

  • 5/5 Jack S. 8 months ago on Google
    Great Gym! Definitely a unique space compared to other gym's I've visited around the area. Much more friendly and focused on putting in the work. No distractions, it's clean, and it's organized. Never overcrowded and can always get a full workout in no matter what time of day or night. Excellent equipment that allows members to workout whichever way they see fit.

  • 5/5 Bruce W. 4 years ago on Google
    I could not say enough good things about this gym. If I could I would give this business ten stars. I only started with this gym a month ago but the amount of support and overall kindness given to you by the owners and trainers truly makes you feel like you are part of a family. Also all the trainers there are more than certified and know exactly what they are talking about and the owner Boris, who is my trainer goes out of his way to make you feel at home and push you to achieve whatever fitness goals you want to accomplish. For me I have had bad experiences with other trainers in the past and my fitness goal is to compete in a bodybuilding competition this year. However I know with the support of Boris and his amazing staff at Steel Fitness Club that my goal to compete will undoubtedly one hundred percent be accomplished and that the sky is the limit when it comes to achieving any fitness goal I set out to accomplish.

  • 5/5 Kierstin T. 4 years ago on Google
    Absolutely love it here! After being a 4 year varsity collegiate rower, I was looking for a place to workout, and for a trainer to help me set and achieve new goals. I found Steel Fitness driving down Dempster from my house, and I knew I had to check them out. I have been training with Cristina since December 23rd, and I have already seen such a difference! Not only do I come in and lift with her twice a week, she also gave me a meal plan, and outside workouts that I can do. She is always available for any questions, and is so supportive, and willing to make adjustments when needed! Whenever you walk in to the gym, someone greets you and makes you feel so welcome! I am extremely happy that I started to come, and I cannot wait to continue to see a transformation!

  • 5/5 Tang W. 3 years ago on Google
    From the moment I joined Steel Fitness, I felt right at home. You just feel motivated the second you walk in!! This private gym is owned and operated by Christina and Boris, who are there everyday. They go out of their way to make sure everyone is well taken care of. Wether you are a competitive body builder or just starting off, the Christina, Boris and their team of trainers will get you to your goals. The quality of the equipment there is second to none and they are constantly bringing in new equipment that you really don’t see anywhere else. I love it there because the set up there allows me to superset with no distractions. If you’re serious about reaching your goals Steel Fitness is the gym that will get you there!!

  • 5/5 Car F. 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommended Steel Fitness not only for a gym, but for training as well. I started with Cristina as my trainer 6 weeks ago and it was one of the best choices I’ve ever made. I was super new to weights and she not only educates me on weights and training during each session, but she makes training enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong, she definitely pushes you. It was so hard to walk and sit the entire first week - but she makes it fun and makes me want to keep coming back. I started seeing results just after a few sessions. She is genuinely a good person and very fun to be around. I thought I would feel intimated at first being at gym where everybody is so fit, but I have felt nothing but comfortable. The equipment and the gym itself is super clean. Huge range of equipment which I love! Definitely check it out, I know you won’t be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Dina R. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely love Steel Fitness! I have been training with Christina over the past couple of months, and have seen such a significant change in myself! She’s motivating and encouraging, helps me with my fitness and diet goals, and always there to provide additional support. She made fitness and working out something that I now incorporate into my daily life, and something I look forward to! Overall amazing gym, great people, and highly recommend to anyone new or advanced into their fitness journey! Thanks Steel Fitness!

  • 5/5 Su E. G. 9 months ago on Google
    I have always considered myself to be active but since the pandemic and the change in work environment, I have gained more weight than I would like. I had knee pains and didn’t feel as energetic and I wanted to change that. I initially had membership at PF in MG and started “eating healthy to be in calorie deficit” and worked out more on my own. However, I wasn’t seeing the results I wanted to see. I realized I needed some professional help and seemed out Steel fitness Team for help. I reached out and Cristina reached out to me very quickly and we decided to meet in person. We met in her office where she gave me the tour of the facilities and what they could help me. I signed up for their 20 Personal training session with Josh. I realized I was not in calorie deficit and was not properly working out. Throughout the 10 weeks, they taught me how to change my lifestyle. How to eat healthier, how to have better routine, and efficient workout. I highly recommend this local gym. It’s clean and well maintained good quality equipment. You can tell everyone is interested in becoming healthier and serious about their workout.

  • 5/5 sandra v. 1 year ago on Google
    My review is long overdue and where do I begin! This gym is a gem!!! Besides the friendly personal trainers, the owners are so nice and they make sure that the gym is unique by investing in arsenal equipment, latest treadmills, and keeping the gym clean. As an athlete, I love the equipment because most gyms that I have been to don't offer these types of equipment such as the pendulum, hack squat and vertical leg press. This place has great energy and a newly added cafe selling protein shakes, protein donuts and healthy meals! This place is my second home 🤍

  • 5/5 Jasmina S. 9 months ago on Google
    After being recommend Steel by a friend I decided to try out their personal training. I’ve been yo-yo dieting for years now. I’ve been training at Steel for almost 4 months now and I can tell you that not only will you get dedicated coaches and mentors but you’ll also get great friends! Josh and Cris, have stuck by me during my journey 100% of the way and motivate me to want to come back each and every day! I was extremely nervous taking this first step and signing up for personal training but I can tell you it’s something I only regret not doing sooner. The consultation with Cris was extremely helpful and smooth, she makes it worth sitting down and talking with her. She puts together a personalized meal plan for each client and works with them to get the best results. This is a tough ride and you want a team who fully supports you and your journey. If you don’t have personal training in mind, get a membership, everyone is extremely supportive of you working towards being your best self. You will feel like you’re at your own personal gym at home. :)

    Absolutely phenomenal atmosphere. Boris is a prime example of a top notch gym owner. He keeps the gym spotless every single day. His crew makes everyone feel welcomed and motivated. Always updating and improving the facility! He truly cares for his members. Always willing to help and teach everyone to strive for a better version of themselves. 10/10 STEEL FITNESS!

  • 5/5 Natalie L. 5 months ago on Google
    Steel Fitness has everything you need. It's clean, not crowded, and well maintained. Cristina is an awesome trainer! She's very knowledgeable and has helped me tremendously with my overall health and fitness.

  • 5/5 Emery G. 9 months ago on Google
    I came as a guest with my dad because he’s been going here and I’ve been thinking about joining and I loved it. The equipment is nothing like I’ve ever used but it added such an interesting dynamic to my workout. Everyone seemed friendly and the gym itself was calm and clean and a very motivating environment to work in.

  • 5/5 Julie L. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been working out at Steel Fitness with Cristina since the beginning of summer and have nothing but admirable things to say about Steel Fitness and my personal training experience. First of all, the facility is clean and maintained with lots of equipment for all levels of fitness. Cristina has been wonderful in motivating me to reach and maintain my goals. She will definitely push you during your workouts, which I need! I love going because she makes the workouts fun and she is such an attentive and enjoyable person to talk with. Also, The Steel Fitness Café is a great addition to our community... I often pick-up to-go meals for my lunches , which is super convenient and healthy!

  • 5/5 Nedim R. 11 months ago on Google
    One of the best gyms you’ll find in the North Chicago land area. Equipped with some really unique plate loaded machines including a pendulum squat! They’ve got every accessory you can imagine, including chains, and the club provides a great atmosphere. It’s clean, easily accessible, a fair value, and relatively not that crowded compared to commercial gyms nearby. The staff is friendly and accommodating too. I highly recommend this gym.

  • 5/5 Will J. 10 months ago on Google
    My friends have been a member here for a long time and they introduced me to the gym. Membership only costs $55 a month and there’s plenty of equipment that can satisfy whatever goals you may have. There’s also a great cafe right next door that offers tons of great, healthy foods that you can grab right after your workout. I highly recommend this gym!

  • 5/5 Patrick Hageman C. 9 months ago on Google
    I had an awesome session at Steel Fitness Club today. The floor is super organized, neat, and clean. There was not a plate out of place and an excellent collection of machines and free weights. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I will absolutely be returning!

  • 5/5 Ansar A. 3 years ago on Google
    I feel lucky I found Steel Fitness & Boris as my personal trainer during my online search. Started my journey with Boris in June 2020 and already see improvements. Boris is very talented and has a wide range of options to help with general cardio and strength conditioning. Boris is a great instructor and knows how to push you. He recognizes areas of improvements and finding ways to address them. I am having a great time and enjoy working out at Steel Fitness. Boris is caring and enthusiastic and his workouts are very effective. Boris is very punctual and disciplined giving full attention to his clients during the session. Boris is good at replying immediately to your text messages for any question you may have regarding workout or diet. Boris has given me a diet plan that I followed since June and lost 24 lbs. in 12 weeks which I give all the credit to Boris. I just renewed my sessions to go with Boris for another 3 months. This time we will be focusing on strength and heavy weightlifting. Again, I want to thank Boris and Christina and other trainers at Steel Fitness for giving me all the encouragement. Highly Recommend Steel Fitness!!! "Great selection of equipment, great atmosphere and always very clean."

  • 5/5 Elena R. 3 years ago on Google
    Steel Fitness Club is a friendly, spotless and well equipped gym with truly excellent trainers that will help you to achieve your fitness goals. I have been attending this gym for the last two weeks and I am absolutely amazed with the positive and motivational approach and encouragement of my trainer Christina. She is the best trainer that I ever had. I have had tried several different gyms and personal trainers in the past few years and I have never achieved so great results in a so short time as now in the Steel Fitness Club. Just after two weeks I started seeing tremendous results in my body composition and I noticed I am getting much stronger and toned. I strongly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to get back in shape.

  • 5/5 doby s. 3 years ago on Google
    Perfect gym. All the equipment is clean, has all the necessities needed. I’m big into boxing training and they have a nice room with a set up of a aqua bag and heavy bag. Awesome gym!

  • 5/5 Noel 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome gym with great equipment. I have always been one to go to larger corporate owned gyms, but this gym has gone above and beyond my expectations. I'm able to focus on my workouts, reach my goals, and stay motivated. It's super clean and the owners are awesome!

  • 5/5 Lois 3 years ago on Google
    I came to Steel Fitness after quarantine when I gained some weight. I have always been an active person, but staying at home and not moving around much got me in a rut of not wanting to work out. I found Steel Fitness through lots of recommendations from friends with only positive things to say. I reached out to Christina on Instagram about personal training/ fitness coaching and she replied to me right away and answered all my questions. I chose to do 10 weeks of training with her and following a meal plan. Overall I lost 10 lbs! And that might not seem a lot for some people but for me it is major because I am already a small petite woman and my main goal was to lean out and gain muscle at the same time. My goal was achieved! I’m so much happier with my body now and a lot more confident. I get so many compliments of people of how great I look now! The gym itself is very clean, my previous gym was xsport which is so much dirtier and not as well kept at all. The gym has everything you need to get in an amazing work out and I never felt like the gym was over crowded or like I couldn’t use a machine. I go to the gym in the mornings or night after work and its never very busy, which I appreciate. It’s a fair price and close to home. As for personal training, I 100% recommended Cristina as a trainer. We became friends through the process and I couldn’t have asked for a better trainer to help me achieve my goals. She pays close attention to you when training and motivates me to continue on during my work out pushing me to further limits. All the trainers really care for their clients. She also has a great sense of humor and music taste so it was always fun to work out. She also has an amazing physique which is motivation enough to want to do better because I wish I could look like that! I have been going to the gym and lifting weights for 6 years and I always thought I knew what I was doing in the gym. Cristina showed me how to build lean muscle and changed me mind. It made me realize I didn’t know as much as I thought I did and I’m glad that I have it a chance. She is very knowledgeable regarding different work outs for different muscle groups. From a woman’s perspective she knew what muscles I wanted to target and molded the work outs surrounding those areas.

    Boris is the best trainer I've ever worked with. He's always on time, gives a full hour training session, "knows his stuff", and is an easy guy to spend time with. I highly recommend him and the club. John Palen

  • 5/5 SHEILA C. 3 years ago on Google
    This gym is exactly what I've been looking for at this time in my life. Like many MANY others out there my life has completely slowed down and I'm finding myself with nothing but time on my hands. This gym has given me the opportunity to use up this time and invest it in myself. The facility is always (key word always) open!! The equipment is in great shape and they have everything you can think of between the free weights, machines, cardio, turf for floor work with all the accessories I leave with having an outstanding workout!! Depending on how hard i push myself sometimes just exhaust (which is my goal). They do offer personal training I haven't done it, but by the way the owners and trainers look they clearly know what they are doing..holy muscles!!! This small not over crowded gym is a GEM super happy I found it!

  • 5/5 Esi C. 4 years ago on Google
    My first workout with Cristina was very challenging! And I am pleased with my workouts so far. She’s fun and professional, and knows how to motivate me the right way. She pays close attention and makes sure i have the right form. She’s the best trainor I’ve had so far and will continue to train with her for a long time to come! 💪🏼😻

    I started attending Steel Fitness when gyms were allowed to open back up in June. I was in need of a focused training plan to get me back in pre-quarantine shape, but also wanted to feel safe with COVID still part of our reality. This gym has been perfect. It is very clean with all the appropriate precautions in place. In addition it is a very positive motivating environment. My weekly training sessions with Boris have helped me achieve my goals. I highly recommend this gym.

  • 5/5 Urooj J. 3 years ago on Google
    I joined Steel Fitness as soon as gyms reopened this year and I'm so glad I did. I feel really comfortable working out here, the staff is nice and helpful, and the gym itself has everything you need to get a great workout. The equipment is in great shape and being cleaned frequently. I usually opt for doing fitness classes but I actually want to come to this gym every day. Its by far one the best gyms I have tried in Chicago and I highly recommend it to everyone that asks =)

  • 5/5 Fahad B. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this place. Get to do my workout without wasting time. The people are friendly and everyone here is there for one reason, to become healthier individuals. Staff is very nice and you can see they work hard to keep place clean and friendly. If your looking for a place to get a good workout skip the big box gyms come to STEEL and get it done.

    Owner is a great guy, you can tell immediately the gym a cut above. The equipment is top notch and the staff is super friendly and helpful. I was in town for thanksgiving and just needed to get one workout in for the day and the owner couldn’t have been more welcoming. The gym is clean and has every piece of equipment you could need. 10/10 would recommend

    Best gym I've had a membership at! Everyone is super friendly and never overcrowded. They have all the equipment you need for any type of workout and all of it is in great shape. Trainers are very nice and love helping people grow in their fitness journey. Very excited to see the new expansion once it is completed. Truly a great gym with very knowledgeable and amazing owners!

    I began training at Steel Fitness in February 2020; I became a recent official member as of June 2020. My experience has been phenomenal thus far as I currently train 5-6 times a week with Dusan Krstic, IFBB Pro. I see Cristina & Boris, the owners personally train others & enhance the fitness club mantra of excellence regularly. I’m impressed with the cleanliness of the club & the hours are great too. Anyone looking for an upgrade in experience should consider a membership along with a consistent training package.... this opportunity to work with such fitness enthusiasts & former fitness competitors doesn’t come very often. I’ve been a member at many larger facilities; and Steel Fitness tops them all based on client management and the efficiency of process to make dreams a reality.

    One of the best gyms I’ve seen. Not too expensive, great trainers, great environment. They have all types of gym members from people training for bodybuilding competitions to people who want to get in shape. Everyone at the gym is helpful and knowledgeable. It is also open 24/7 so that is handy. No initiation fees either. No cancellation fees. All you pay is the modest monthly fee. If you are thinking about signing up at this gym, save yourself the time wasted thinking about it and just join.

    Hands down this is the best private gym I have ever been to. Cristina and Boris are the owners and they run this gym efficiently and from their hearts. I have never been to a gym that the owners actually care about your progress and how you are doing. It is refreshing to find amazing and caring people like that at the gym. I have been training with Cristina and I have to say she is amazing. She is fun, loving, always encouraging, checks up on you, and tells you to never hesitate to call her and ask for help. I have never met a trainer like Cristina. She has challenged me throughout my weight loss journey and I'm glad I get to continue this journey with her. If you guys are looking for an amazing gym with great trainers please check this gym out. You won't regret it!

    Boris is a great trainer. He not only has the certification, he has years of experience in fitness and nutrition. I own a gym and I am also a trainer..I have trained with Boris on quite a few occasions at Steel. I have say I’ve left there with some of the greatest pumps.! Sometimes a trainer needs a trainer. 💪🏽💪🏽 And when I need a trainer for the extra motivation and need someone to push me to my limits I try to book with him.

    Great gym! Clean and really good equipment. If you want a gym to get your workout done without the flash and bs, this is for you.

    I have trained at several gyms over the years and Steel Fitness is one of the best. Excellent selection of equipment, great atmosphere and very clean. Boris and the staff are extremely knowledgeable in training and nutrition.

    Great place to work out. Clean and has everything anyone needs.

  • 5/5 kevin k. 3 years ago on Google
    This little gym is perfect and truly has everything you need to dominate your workout. The atmosphere of the gym reminds me of the gyms from Pumping Iron, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Arnold walk in and start to workout. The Owner is absolutely awesome and cares for the gym... he makes sure things are picked up and with COVID, he makes sure the gym is clean. Multiple cleaning products are available to wipe down machines. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Highly recommended it.

    Great Gym! It has that old school “Pumping Iron“ feel to it. Owners do a great job keeping everything clean and organized.

  • 5/5 Kevin F. 3 years ago on Google
    Steel Fitness has been my home since January and I can confidently say this is by far the best gym I’ve workout at. I call it a hidden gem because not many people know about it. It’s a way different feel then any other gym out there, it’s like a community, you know everyone who comes in, the owners and trainers are as nice as they come. If you want the best personal training experience you won’t find a better one then steel fitness. As someone who uses the boxing studio pretty much every day, it has everything you need to be a successful boxer, plus some great boxing coaches and trainers. If you are on the fence about getting a membership here, don’t be, this gym is perfect for everyone. The owner Boris will take great care of you, weather you have been going to the gym for years or if this is your first gym membership.

    Hands down for sure the best private Gym I have ever been a part of. The atmosphere here is amazing, everyone here is very friendly, gym always clean and smells good. Boris and His Wife run their gym in a very professional way. Both of them are awesome people, great trainers for sure. If anyone wants something different, and very professional personal trainers this is the place to go check out. Their whole crew is great. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

    This place is awesome!!! I have seen great results so far and my trainer, Christina, has not only helped me achieve my fitness goals but also educated me along the way so I can maintain my results on my own in the future. Highly recommend!!

    I got out of shape during the pandemic staying at home all the time. I had never worked out prior to going to Steel. I felt pretty intimidated going to a gym for the first time, but the trainers and staff at Steel are encouraging, friendly, and helpful. I started training with Josh, and I haven't looked back since. This gym really feels like a community, and I can't recommend it enough. Thank you for showing me the ropes!

    Great experience and environment at Steel Fitness Club! The equipment was clean and the employees were very welcoming for my first time. Would highly recommend to others. Boris is the best owner!

    As a dedicated weightlifter with two decades of competitive experience, I've seen my fair share of gyms across the country, especially during my time in the military. Steel Fitness is the best gym I've been to and certainly the best in the Chicago area. Owners Boris and Cristina are experts in their craft, but also humble and welcoming. The personal trainers are equally passionate and kind. Steel Fitness also has equipment unlike any gym I've been to. It's well equipped to accommodate powerlifting, functional strength training, bodybuilding, and so much more, all while accommodating folks of all skill levels. Boris and Cristina have figured it out and I cannot recommend Steel Fitness highly enough.

    This is such a nice gym for half the price of any retail gym around the area. They have every machine you could ever need, I’ve never once seen a machine out of order. The weights are good quality, the racks are insane, they are the nicest squat racks I’ve ever used. The gym itself is very clean and well organized. There is a changing room for both men and women with lockers to protect your things. Music is a 10/10 if you aren’t a headphone person. The best part is that this gym is never crowded, I’ve never had an issue getting in my lift because of large quantities of people. Everyone is very respectful and minds their own business when working out, it’s a nice gym for anyone trying to get in shape, stay in shape, get big, etc. The cafe attached is awesome too if you need a high protein meal or protein smoothie! They also offer healthy versions of preworkout as well :) Overall a great gym owned by very nice and laid back (swole) couple.

    This is truly the best gym I've been apart of. It has all the equipment you can ever need, and it's always clean. The owners, as well as all of their personal trainers, are true professionals—they're very knowledgeable and get you where you want to be. They also have an amazing selection of food and drink options in their cafe. Overall, great atmosphere!

    Steel Fitness is one of the best gyms to go for all ages. The gym has everything one would need to satisfy their fitness goals. To start the gym is always very clean and sanitary. Everybody in the gym is driven to making themselves better. No matter the day or time, there is never too many people so you can always get in a good workout. After your workout you can go next door to a great place to get meal prep, protein shakes, and smoothies. This Cafe next door bumps the gym Into another level. With other gyms many of the problems listed above are present, but not with Steel Fitness. Overall Steel Fitness is the best gym in the north side of Chicago.

    This is the best gym I’ve ever been to. After graduating college I was looking for a gym that would help support my fitness goals. I came across Steel Fitness and instantly fell in love. I was blown away by the diverse machines and equipment they had in their gym, such as a hack squat machine and dumbbells that go up from 1lbs to 150lbs+. However; the best part of this gym for me would be the friends I had made while here. The owner is awesome and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Great fitness atmosphere where people support your goals. Plus, there is a posing room so you can see the crazy pump you got after your workout. Whenever I think of a great gym I think of Steel Fitness. Period.

😐 The facility is very well built with great amenities for several sports. Parking is terrible and there are games that are scheduled on top of each other so there many people need to make adjustments or take long walks to get a spot for their vehicle Hope this is looked at by the Village shortly.
