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...

Pure Barre

Physical fitness program

👍👍 I cannot say enough good things about Pure Barre South Loop. I started taking classes at this location in the Spring of 2021. I had lost about 35 lbs in the year prior and was in search of something to help me seriously tone up. I took the free Foundations class to learn the basics. I really li...

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...

Big Shoulders Yoga

Yoga studio

👍👍 No where else in Chicago can you get great Hatha classes with hands on adjustments. Classes are small, yet not intimidating.

Motus Functional Fitness and Pilates

Fitness center

👍👍 When I started training with Vince, I had knee, back and shoulder issues. In the past I have done 2 triathlons, bike races, and running but inevitably I would end up with an injury, that would take me out of working out.
