					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.

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'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!
