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!

					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.

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.

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

					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!

					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!

Lift has great energy, good equipments, unique training approach & most importantly they have the ‘right’ people.  It’s the perfect balance of challenge (both physical & mental) & fun towards individual growth.  I enjoy my workout sessions (w/Peter) despite my hurt ego; truly no gain without pain.  Highly recommended!

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!

					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
