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. Her WMNLift class is also awesome and a great paced workout with a fun group. She's also a total badass who practices what she preaches and does races and competitions herself.

					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!

					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! I have gotten so much stronger since working out with Abby after a long pandemic of not working out. Not only that but Abby does an amazing job at working around areas that are bothering me and tailors each workout. Highly recommend this gym and Abby!

					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!

It is refreshing to have no-ego trainers, who's mission is to bring out the best in their clients. The facility is extremely well-maintained,  bathrooms are clean, and the equipment is all top-of-the-line.

Based on my experience, I've been recommending the place to friends, colleagues, and strangers on... read more the street.  The trainers are professional, knowledgeable, and friendly.  Reid in particular has been extremely helpful and has fixed a lot of bad form/techniques I've adopted over the years.  He also patiently understands that I have a hard time focusing on two parts of my body at once and still finds a way to stop my from doing silly things.  And he's super encouraging but thankfully not in a Spin-class-voice kind of way.

I originally planned on going to Lift for only three months, to jumpstart my routine. I don't know why I thought that was a good idea.  Now I think of Lift as essential for my strength training and have no plans to stop.
