FAQ’S

What does membership get me?

We offer three different memberships. A 30 minute, 45 minute, and a 60 minute option. All require a credit card on file for an automatic payment every 30 days. You receive 4 sessions per month in a package at our “member” rate that don’t rollover to the next month. Any additional sessions booked beyond those 4 are charged as single sessions at “member” rate. Members have the ability to book out in advance as much as they desire without being charged ahead of time. You will be charged upon completion of your session. Members also get a special rate for group classes and 20% off merchandise.

What is the difference between a 30, a 45 min, and a 60 min session?

30 min sessions are a comprehensive and efficient strength training session. We focus primarily on compound strength exercises to maximize your time and training effect.

45 min sessions build upon the comprehensive and efficient strength training sessions by giving us a little bit more time to address specific needs such as mobility, a longer warm-up, extra sets of strength work, or metabolic conditioning.

60 min sessions have the same structure as a 45 min session, we just have more time for extra rest, high needs mobility work, and extra conditioning.

How many times per week should I come to train?

As coaches we always follow evidence based research. The current research suggests strength training 2-4x/ week for optimal results. Clients who see the best results are consistently training at least 2x/ week.

How do I choose a coach?

At Lift, we are able to share clientele because we all train and program under the same principles. As the client, you may choose who you work with based on preference of coach or day/times available. We want all Lift clients to know they will receive the very same high-quality training with any coach they work with. Many of our current clientele work with multiple coaches per week, and the coaches collaborate to form a program that best suits the client’s schedule and goals.

Is there parking?

For River North: You will find ample “Pay to Park” metered parking directly outside on Erie St, as well as surrounding streets. For those of you looking to train in the AM, these spots are free prior to 9AM.

 

For Lincoln Park: There is ample amounts of free parking on both Southport and Kingsbury.

 

For North Shore: There is ample amounts of free parking on the streets in town.

What should I bring?

Wear athletic clothing, bring a water bottle (optional as we have a filtered water fountain and water for sale in our cooler) and athletic footwear. We recommend cross training shoes over running shoes.

What are your locker rooms like?

At Lincoln Park and River North: We have full-service locker rooms with showers, lockers (built-in code system – no lock needed!) fresh towels, salon supplied hair-care products, and your standard toiletries.

At North Shore: We have a single unisex bathroom and lockers up front for your belongings.

What should I eat and drink before sessions?

We suggest having even a small meal or snack before training. We DO NOT recommend pre-workout supplements or high doses of caffeine before training to reduce nausea and rapid heart rates. These sessions are usually a little quicker pace than working out on your own. We recommend training with us for a while before testing any pre-workout supplements.
