Personal Trainer | LIFT CHICAGO

					It’s always been difficult to get into a steady routine and stay motivated, until I started training at LIFT seven months ago with Coach Isaac.  Not only do I... read more have a program designed for my goals, each session is extremely efficient at 45 mins including both strength and cardio work.

I appreciate that he’s been able to design a program that helps me with my tennis elbow pain, all while getting me ready for my wedding this fall!

I cannot recommend LIFT any higher for anyone looking for personal training and achieving your goals. The entire LIFT staff has been welcoming and always exude a positive vibe. They are safe and extremely knowledgeable in doing everything the RIGHT way and making sure you understand why. This is the gym you’ve been looking for!

					Amazing Gym!  All the instructors are incredible!  I'm hooked! Never a dull moment! Every single second is used!

Scheduling Training! One of the easiest and most transparent sign up... read more processes where you simply select your date, time, and trainer! And just as simply - you can change any time. So its super convenient and saves you time when scheduling sessions. Also, access to numerous different trainers with different styles and skills to learn from.  7 days a week, all times during the day! So will work for any schedule you have!  I also like how they have a variety of options for 30 minute, 45 minute and 60 minute workouts.

Equipment & Amenities! Best equipment and wide variety to keep you busy. I've done several on my own but nothing matches having a personal trainer take you through all the skills on using each.  Locker room is nice, clean, and everything you need. TV, music and everything else you need!

Honored to be a Member of the Lift community! Thanks for changing my life! :) - Erik

					Finished my first ten days of training here and truly impressed. The four trainers I alternated between were all very attentive and friendly. Paid attention to my goals and paced... read more me throughout while directing my form ( chief concern is not hurting myself). Loved that John especially has me trying new machines which keep me engaged and interested while working out ( I'm easily distracted). Excited to go back for another session. Their reputation is well deserved.

					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.

It’s efficient and effective 30 min workout that is just the right amount of challenging.  I can’t recommend Lift enough!

I’ve been training with Pete for a couple years now, and I can’t recommend him enough. He has helped me train for marathons, triathlons, and helped me get stronger again after some injuries, and now he’s helped me train through a pandemic, too! The two best times of my week are the two 30 mins session I have at Lift!

					I have been lifting here with Sam for a couple of months, and couldn’t say anything better about Lift! The gym is clean, equipment well maintained, and the staff is... read more both fun and extremely professional.

					WOW!!! I cannot say enough great things about Lift Chicago! Truly a fantastic experience. First off, with all things COVID, I felt very safe and comfortable using the equipment. Every... read more trainer is cleaning and disinfecting after each client they are with and the gym overall was very clean. I had the pleasure training with Coach Abby!

She also is great working around the client’s schedule to ensure the best quality experience. Everyone in the gym is so kind and welcoming! I felt like a regular right away :) Also one of the trainers, Chad, helped me purchase my monthly package and was very helpful!

Can’t wait to see what Coach Abby has in store for me next week! Go check them out!!

					I love going to Lift in Lincoln Park! I've been doing personal training with Abby twice a week for 45 minutes each for about 8 months. I like that they... read more offer 30,45 or 1-hour training sessions so you can find one that works for you. The time always goes by quickly!

					Hands down the best gym and the best trainers in the city.  The entire experience from start to finish is outstanding.  The staff is friendly, the equipment is... read more as good as it gets, and the workout is out of this world.  30 minutes doesn't sound like a long time, but by the end of the workout you'll feel like you've pushed yourself further than you ever imagined you could.  And the best part is that the workouts just get better and better the more you go as the trainers learn more about you.  If you haven't gone yet, you're missing out!

					Love everyone here and they all get to know you even if you aren't their client. I train with Abby twice a week and it's always a great experience. She... read more knows when to push you and challenge you, takes injuries into account, and is a genuine trainer who cares about you and your goals both in and out of the gym.

					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! Edited 6/29/21 to add: the small group lifting classes are also amazing! They offer the same top-quality instruction in a more self-guided environment. Sam and Isaac, the trainers who run them, are wonderful.
