NEW TO LIFT?

I started training at LIFT over a year ago in prep for my wedding. I have never looked or felt better! I have worked with almost every coach, and they’re... read more all amazing. Best gym in Chicago.

I also love the open gym and the equipment. They are constantly adding new things to make the best experience for their customers!

It has been challenging for me to find the motivation to workout since the beginning of the pandemic. Lift has helped me to get back into a routine in a... read more safe & supportive environment. Coach Isaac customized a program that focuses on the results I want to achieve before my wedding in this fall. He holds me accountable and does a great job of explaining the various techniques I'm doing - it's amazing how much I can now accomplish in 30-45 minutes with the right guidance. The owners and coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and the gym itself is immaculate. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to reaching their fitness goals!

Highly recommended. If you want a personalized, thorough, concise workout this is it. Each personal trainer is excellent for listening to your fitness goals, celebrates your achievements and accommodates any... read more injuries. Clean, open space. Easy street parking. Bathrooms with showers/lockers. You can’t ask for a better whole body workout in 30 (or 45) minutes.

I’ve been training at Lift since it opened (and with Josh elsewhere for a few years prior). As a middle aged endurance athlete, I used to think I should strength... read more train, but never did it consistently until I found Josh. He understands that I have some chronic injuries from years of marathons and triathlons. He works with me to strengthen my weakness to help make me a well rounded athlete. He also pays very close attention to my form to prevent additional injuries. All the strength coaches and clients at Lift create a fun and supportive community and I always look forward to my sessions. I believe that my Lift sessions are the key to staying “young” as I age.

I have trained with the guys at Lift for a long time and consider my sessions to be some of my best long-term investments. My workouts there are sustainable, enjoyable... read more and challenging—and critical to my physical and mental health. Everyone at Lift is extremely smart, knowledgeable about kinesiology and exercise science, and strikes a good balance between pushing you hard and knowing when to dial it back to reinforce form and/or add accessory or rehab work. I trust them all implicitly and look forward to working with them for a long time to come!

Just had my first session with John and it was great. Very attentive and friendly. Paid attention to my goals and paced me throughout while directing my form ( chief... read more concern is not hurting myself). Excited to go back for another session. Their reputation is well deserved.

I recently joined Lift ~2 months ago and it's been an incredible experience! Whether you're a beginner (like me) or seasoned pro, this gym caters to all. Victoria, my coach,... read more is fantastic and I really enjoy training with her — she tracks my goals, adjusts my workouts to fit my needs, and even recommended me great training shoes. She is so fun to train with! The gym’s boutique feel and cleanliness create a private atmosphere, emphasizing safety with equipment always neatly stored. I highly recommend Lift to anyone embarking on their fitness journey! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve been training at Lift for almost 2 years and have gained so much confidence in my lifting and strength. Every trainer is approachable and knowledgeable, making for a very... read more welcoming environment. I have worked with Sarah and she has been great in creating a program that fits my goals and the progress I am making. Cannot say enough good things!

I have been coming to Lift for a few months now. Staff is incredibly knowledgeable, flexible with schedules, and are great people to train with. I have noticed a significant... read more increase in strength and performance in a few short months thanks to working with Jared. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get into better shape quickly & efficiently. Top notch equipment and personal training! I always have a good time talking with the trainers in between sets as well!!!

I've been training with Sarah for two years and she has been amazing to work with! Both locations are clean and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I highly... read more recommend checking out Lift!

Great coaching in an excellent facility.

I have always been a very active person but I have seen the biggest difference in both my strength and physique since working out at Lift. I’ve been to many... read more gyms and workout classes around the city (like a LOT)—they really know their stuff at Lift. Recently, Pete has been helping me work through a shoulder injury. I have been able to safely push myself and have made huge improvements in my strength and range of motion (I could barely lift my arms above my head when we started). Lift is extremely clean, safe and I can’t recommend this gym and the trainers enough!

Very spaced out, great welcoming staff and clean. My new go-to.

I've been working with Abby 3 days a week since October 2021, and it's probably not too much of a stretch to say I'm in love with her. In... read more all seriousness, after 5 months of 1:1 sessions multiple times a week, I can confidently say that Abby embodies everything I could want in a trainer. * Abby worked with MY body. She is an educated professional who actively listened to me when I told her the issues I'd been having with tightness in my back and a stiff knee for years. She took the time to understand what was going on with me, and thoughtfully introduced exercises to address and correct my problems. She never forgot about it, never dismissed my previous efforts to help myself, (stretching, physical therapy, yoga, massage therapy, etc.), and continually tweaks my form or variations to make sure we're improving my body. *Abby is attentive! She never looks at her phone, chats with coworkers, or lets me slack through a movement. Even though I imagine it gets repetitive to remind me to tighten my core or drive through my heels, she's always making sure I'm getting the best workout I can in each session. *Abby is humble and hilarious. She is SO fit and awesome which could be intimidating, but I feel completely comfortable huffing through movements with her. She makes me feel like she wants me to succeed and progress as much as I do, which just creates an awesome and positive atmosphere. She encourages my goals and progress, which in turn helps me push through tough movements. She's always energied and ready to go in the mornings, and as an added benefit consistently has me laughing at her silly sayings. If you work with her, you'll soon be preferring to Thursday as "Friday Jr." *Abby produces results! Working with her not only am I getting stronger, but she's helped me incorporate lifestyle changes in a sustainable and encouraging way. She is willing and able to provide nutrition and lifestyle advice. I love so much that she gives me tangible, easily incorporable things to add into my routine. She is an advocate for starting and small and building, and it's great to work with someone who shares a long term vision for lasting results. If you're looking for a positive, encouraging, attentive, and results-driven trainer, you'll find it all in Abby!

Sarah H with WMNxLIFT is the best!!! I’ve been active my whole life and she is by far the best coach I’ve ever had. She’s attentive, extremely knowledgeable, and has... read more a great sense of humor. The gym is also very well equipped and has a cool vibe. I would 1000% recommend it to anyone!

Great programming. Great staff. Pete is very tuned in and makes sure you get the most out of the workouts.

Can’t recommend LIFT enough. If you’re looking for challenging, yet functional, strength training program to look and feel your best, LIFT is the place.

This best place to work out in Chicago. Intelligent trainers with a great atmosphere. You can tell they love what they do and are passionate about creating the best gym/workout... read more experience possible. Workouts are tailored to specific needs, take account for any injuries, and also help you meet individual fitness goals. All of the trainers are great because they listen to you and pay attention to your form to make sure you are getting high quality reps and avoiding injury. It’s efficient and effective 30 min workout that is just the right amount of challenging. I can’t recommend Lift enough!

The two best times of my week are the two 30 mins session I have at Lift!
