I really enjoy working out at FitPro West, not only because my trainer, Carsten, is dedicated and pushes me to my maximum potential, but the equipment is new and up to date. I love using the hip thruster, which is rare to find at other gyms and I enjoy using the Keiser equipment and wood way treadmills, just to name the few. The staff and personal trainers are extremely friendly and the gym is very neat and clean. Must check out the gym if you haven't already.

I joined FitPro West when I worked a couple of blocks away and continue to come even after changing jobs and having to travel a greater distance. The staff is friendly and helpful when you need it. I have taken classes led by great instructors and have been introduced to a lot of different exercises as well as equipment. The personal trainers that I have worked with have taught me the value of strength training – something I never really did before at other gyms. I mostly did cardio. Now I can’t imagine not weight training and I feel far more confident reaching for weights on my own. The gym is extremely clean, the equipment is modern, and towels are provided. It’s never overcrowded and it’s just a really great place to workout.

I love Fit Pro West and SO HAPPY I started working out there. Carsten, the owner, is very nice, helpful and very knowledgeable. He has been in the business for over 25 years. My new trainer Justice, has been very helpful since day 1. They both sat down with me for 2 hours my first day and listened to my goals and took time to get to know me. Their patience, passion and sincerity is what made me sign up. Justice followed up on everything. I love her style of working out and her whole outlook on fitness. We talk nutrition a lot as well, and I am so motivated by her. The gym is in a great location, it is smaller but chic. They have new , clean and the most updated equipment! There are "trendy gyms" full of mediocre trainers all over the city. It is kind of sad. I am so proud to say I belong to a serious gym with professional and well experienced trainers.

Nice place to work out

This deserves an update: In late January 2020 after almost 2 years of working with Will I stopped my 1:1 sessions with him and well, I am back at it again with him. I wanted to learn something new so we are now in the throws of Olympic weightlifting. The workouts are always fun and challenging. I can't recommend him enough, his knowledge and focus are on point. If you want to learn some new tricks, start from scratch or just work out he is great for any and all of it. The facility was clean and well maintained pre-Covid and is exceptionally clean now. Old Review: I have been training at FitPro West since April 2018, one day a week in 1:1 sessions and one day a week on my own. The 1:1 with Will are exactly what I needed. The facility is well maintained and clean, Will has been my trainer since I joined and I have seen my numbers skyrocket. He focuses in on the areas of weakness and turns them into strengths. Highly recommended

This is a great gym, with all the equipment a weight lifter needs, in a great location. The owner is a really good guy and is super knowledge. Well worth the $65 per month.

Let me tell you this, they have new ownership and these trainers are some of the most humble, knowledgeable staff I’ve ever encountered. The gym membership is comparable to a slightly more expensive LA fitness, but feels more welcoming. The patrons are all nice, the venue is extremely clean with towels and lockers for free. I’m a power lifter with more than enough equipment, and if you ask for a new machine, they try and get it. Don’t hesitate to sign up here and really watch your progression. BTW you can sign up for training, or do the normal gym membership.

Great gym. Always clean and never too crowded. Very reasonable rates.

The best gym in the downtown Chicago area! It has all of the necessary, effective equipment and none of the "fluff". Furthermore, the trainers are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about your success. They take a holistic approach that maximizes not only your fitness, but your nutrition as well. Upon re-opening following COVID Phase 3, it was obvious that they took every health precaution to make the space feel safe, clean, yet still as inviting as it always has been. I also appreciate that the owners Shawn and Devin are inclusive and down to earth, and are actually present at the gym if you have a chance to talk to them.

I started training with Will Thompson in April and he's been amazing! I'm noticing muscles I definitely didn't have before and my "only when I'm feeling skinny" jeans are now my "getting too loose" jeans! I knew absolutely nothing about strength training before I came in and he has been great with teaching proper technique, answering questions and even offering nutritional advice. I love feeling sore the next day so I know he is continually pushing me every session. Everyone else at the gym is great too and as a beginner, I don't feel awkward or intimidated. This is a great place to work out!

So I came to FitPro West for a reboot of my fitness routine after the stay at home order. I’ve always been one to workout (definitely not a novice) and but just needed to refocus and I can’t even explain how great my experience has been. First let’s talk about the facility. It’s clean. The equipment is wiped before and after use and Shawn (the co-owner and my trainer) is obsessive about it. I even drove by one night and saw him sweeping out the corners of the gym after everything was closed. I trust him and it’s definitely less stressful for me in the middle of this global health crisis. It’s also never crowded. Every time I go there’s maybe one or two other trainers there with their clients but everyone is a good distance away and masks are worn. It’s definitely a good look. As for Shawn, I can’t recommend him enough. He’s knowledgeable and thoughtful. I appreciate that he asked all the right questions before we met AND that he specializes in what I (and what I would believe about 90% of the world) care about—Aesthetics. Not that he’s against health and wellness, but he gets what I’m looking to accomplish and our sessions reflect that. He’s intuitive, smart and honest. I appreciate that. If you’re looking for a trainer, he’s your man. My results speak for volumes. Six weeks in I’m down 4% bodyfat. I’m also up 6 lbs so I’m gaining muscle. Shawn is a Muscle Mentor and has given me awesome suggestions and tools to be successful. I’m looking forward to our continued work together. This gym is a gem in the city. Check it out and maybe hit up Shawn for a session. You won’t be disappointed.

Went to FitPro to check it out and I was nervous because I’m new to the workout world but it was amazing!! The trainer I worked with-Will Thompson made the process smooth and made me feel really comfortable for a beginner! He was really helpful and easy to train with! Everyone in the gym is really friendly and the atmosphere is non intimidating! If you’re looking for a place to workout or a personal trainer I would definitely recommend FitPro!!

FitPro West - the best gym I have every belonged to. I have been to many gyms over the years and this the only gym where I have gotten the training I need to improve my fitness level. I have worked with several trainers and they have all been very knowledgeable and, while they all have different approaches, their workouts are interesting and challenging. I don’t get bored. They really push you to improve and not slack off. I am in the best shape I have been in a very long time and it’s all because of the time I have spent working out at FitPro West.

Fitpro West is a great space for independent trainers to bring their personal training clients. It has been my favorite studio space to work out of in Chicago. Its clean, well laid out, and the equipment is updated regularly and is always functioning. The owner Carsten is very present, helpful and is always open to feedback on ways to improve both trainers and clients experience here. Aside from training they also offer memberships, but the place is never super crowded like most small gym spaces. The location is also great for anyone working down in the loop.

I've been going to FitPro for 6 years and it's been a great experience. Once you join, you'll find it is a real community of fitness enthusiasts and everyone knows your name! Carsten makes sure to keep the gym clean with new equipment that is kept in top shape. You can do your own workouts or they work with a bunch of great and friendly trainers to help you reach your fitness goals. Additionally, even at peak hours, the gym does not feel packed, which is a typical issue with other gyms in the city! You won't find a better mix of modern equipment, great space, friendliness and overall value!

I joined FitPro in July 2018 for three months of personal training and I am extremely satisfied by the results. All thanks to William Thompson (Will) my trainer. Will is a certified trainer, very knowledgeable and has commendable experience with bodybuilding. He knows his stuff quite well. We worked out a plan based on my expectations right from the beginning and I just followed him. Best thing, he is quite flexible with the timings and you can always work the session timings to be compatible with your schedule. I would definitely recommend FitPro as a choice for personal training or even otherwise for workout. Great value for money. All you need is dedication and rest assured you will come out happy :)

Absolute gem in the West Loop! Knowledgeable and friendly staff that truly caters to the clients needs; meticulously clean and sterile workout environment; Insane array of dedicated fitness equipment designed to meet nearly everyone’s personal needs. I’ve been a member for years now and can’t imagine going anywhere else! These guys and gals really care about YOU and it shows every single day.

Awesome gym for all independent trainers & members! The facility has top notch equipment, and the staff does a great job of keeping everything clean and sanitized. Devin & Shawn really go above and beyond to make your experience at Fitpro West one to remember.

Fitpro is my favorite place to train when I’m in town. The owners are always on site and friendly and the trainers are well educated and friendly. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a trainer and a great gym.
