					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.  I have been seeing noticeable gains from my time already, and not only has my strength improved, but so has my form.  This is true personal coaching, and unlike big-box gyms that may have trainers without much experience, everyone at Lift provides fantastic guidance.  I highly recommend this to anyone, no matter your fitness goals.

					Doing the group workouts has been the exact motivation I needed. The small group let's the trainer give me personal adjustments and everyone else pushes me to get it done!... read more Haha Very accepting and fun environment

					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. All of the trainers are great because they listen to you and pay attention to your form to make sure you are getting high quality reps and avoiding injury. 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!

					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

					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!

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 is the perfect trainer to motivate, challenge and listen to your fitness goals. She targeted all my areas of concern and made the 45min fly by! 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!

					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.

The owners and coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and the gym itself is immaculate. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to reaching their fitness goals!

					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!
