					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.

					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!

					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!

					The women's LIFT class has been a highlight of my week for a few years now.

					I have been coming to LIFT since the day they opened and have been training with Josh for years now. Nothing compares to the workouts and knowledge you’ll get from... read more the trainers! I look forward to my sessions and it’s the best part of my day. Josh is always giving me challenging workouts and pushing me to my limits which I love! But he also knows how to train me safely which is super important because I’ve had back problems in the past. The facility is always super clean and the trainers create such a friendly and welcoming environment. Love LIFT and would HIGHLY recommend! :-)

Strength training at Lift has transformed... read more my body and I’ve seen myself get stronger since I joined.

					I've been going to LIFT for over a year and a half and I cannot say enough positive things about this gym. The minute you walk in, you are personally... read more greeted by all of the coaches- they really make you feel comfortable and excited to be there. The facility is clean, the equipment is top notch, and all of the trainers are fantastic. One of the best qualities of this gym is that they personalize workouts to your body and injuries. They don't rush through the workout just to get it done- they make sure your form is correct and you are actually benefiting longterm from the exercise or movement. I am moving from Chicago and I can say this is one of the things I will miss most!

					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 all seriousness,... read more 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!

					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!				
Kyle Portnoy
 
					Hands down best gym for power lifters, strong men, body builders. Equipment is top notch and it’s very clean and well maintained.				
Katie Cunningham

					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!				
Gabriel Garcia
 
					I started training at Lift over a year ago, after my daughter recommended it. I typically work with the same trainers, but it varies occasionally, and all have been careful,... read more knowledgeable, and seem to know just how much to push me. I’m always relieved to be finished, and very glad to have done the workout. I’m not one who enjoys working out, but I feel like my time at Lift helps keep me healthy.
