Fitness & Gyms near Hinsdale, IL

“TLDR: I LOVE Shred415, the people, the efficiency of the workout, the vibe.Shred415 is a workout unlike any other to motivate me, push me harder, feel a sense of community, keep me sane and get stronger. The instructors know how to encourage the class with high energy prompts. I also did Shred when pregnant and they are super accommodating with adjustments and childcare if you’re a mom. I’ve found my marathon times to improve as a result of the hill and speed work. From a strength standpoint, I appreciate the focus on certain body parts yet always feel like I’m walking out with a true full body workout thanks to compound strength training moves. The front desk is super welcoming with a smile. The locker room set up is convenient if you’re prepping to head to work, errands, etc post class.”

“Great gym! The classes are well organized, challenged to everyone’s ability. Fantastic direction and encouraging. Kids classes are awesome too! My boys love to go as well!”

“All the trainers at Just Lift are beyond amazing! Everyone is well trained and knowledgeable. You call tell they care about each individual member’s performance and success.”

“Honestly it’s the best gym with the most amazing trainers, staff, and athletes I have ever met!!! Iron flag is my new family and my favorite gym of all time! I’ve been growing as a crossfit athlete and it’s been amazing! I can’t wait to see where I’ll be next year :)”

“What a great place to work out! I look forward to attending classes at this gym. And I’ve never felt that about a gym after a few months! It’s the class size, almost personalized coaching, the option to use the gym by yourself, all of which make it worth the membership here.”

“I love this gym. There is ample room to workout, very clean and enough equipment to workout. I enjoy going at 4am to workout peacefully. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Such a welcoming gym. The members and coaches immediately give that family feeling, even to drop ins. The gym itself is also extremely well laid out. Even with a full house, you're not in each other's way, and all of the equipment and supplies are easy to find.”

“Literally the best gym I’ve ever been to. I’ve had the opportunity to train with Dania, Emily and Terry. All 3 of them have different training methods and I love that. They make working out fun and it’s 100% a safe space!”

“After being away from CrossFit for over 5 years, Iron Flag in Lemont has been the perfect place for me to jump back in. Owners and coaches have been great along with a welcoming community. The programming has been exactly what I’ve been looking for.”

“I am considering joining Jordan's gym as he was one of the best guides in helping me to learn weight training several years ago. The place is clean, spacious and friendly, and I can't wait to try their free week. I'll post more later! ?”

“Chris Jakubiak is fantastic. High energy, motivated, and dedicated to helping his clients meet their goals. Great place to join for those with busy schedules and for those looking for a friendly environment. Great place!”

“I joined after my one year anniversary of doing Bariatric surgery. I lost 105 lbs in that one year and wanted to start exercising to continue my weight loss journey and at the same time build my muscle to fill in all that saggy skin. I love group workouts and having a coach to instruct and push me, so I thought of giving OTF a try and it’s now 5 months later. In the 5 months that I’ve been a member, my energy has increased, my body shape is changing, and I am getting stronger. I keep getting compliments from my friends and family about how much healthier I look now.The coaches (Rudy, Heidi, Alyssa, and Lacey) are so energetic and upbeat that they make me want to push myself, especially when I feel that I’m done and tapped out. I love the encouragement and direction that I get from them. They are so positive and make me feel that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. The coaches are quick to offer alternatives for me and do a great job of monitoring the floor workouts to give people feedback on form and pacing.I also love the combination of strength and cardio workouts. I find myself getting stronger and my body shape is changing as a result. Besides the coaching and the workouts, I love the atmosphere, the music, and the community that make OTF Woodridge such an incredible place.”

“I love this gym! The coaches are all very encouraging and approachable. The gym is clean and welcoming. The atmosphere and music is great! I love the personalization of being able to push yourself and always try to give a little more, without any need or pressure to be better, run faster, or lift more than anyone else. Highly Recommend!”

“Cannot recommend highly enough. Holly and all the instructors are really wonderful. The studio is such a beautiful space. Some of the best classes I’ve ever taken. Love this studio!”

“F45Training has been awesome to me. Their trainers (Alex is the best of the best, Dylan and Bianca) are exceptional, the overall vibe is great and I have had nothing but good experiences. I definitely will recommend them to my friends and family.The owner is just great. Glad to be part of this team.”

“How does it start?With an email or a phone call.How does it end?Don’t know. Still going here six months later.Ian and Emily are AMAZING people. That’s easy enough to say, but let me back it up.I took the leap and sent an email to them that I had never really lifted weights. I mostly did cardio exercises. Ian responded promptly and set up a phone call to discuss what goes on at their gym. The first personal training session was free so I tried it.You know that thing that you eat that you can’t put down once you try some. That’s what this was like except way more expensive. It makes you stop and think, but ultimately the question you have to ask yourself is what would you pay to be HEALTHY and HAPPY each week?Ian works with you to create a workout plan that FITS WHAT YOU WANT including workouts for days when you’re at home or your regular gym. He’s there to give you ADVICE on nutrition and eating/drinking right for your goals. It’s up to you on what you decide to do and he doesn’t care whether you take his advice or not. He’s the same regardless. Scheduling is flexible and is done personally via texts. That’s right, you have contact with Ian even when you’re not working out with him and you have normal conversations. HE'S INVESTING HIS TIME IN MAKING YOU A BETTER PERSON.From a workout perspective, there are a variety of workouts that you end up doing and they will repeat. You’re there to get progressive gains over time and the only way to do that is to repeat the workouts on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. When you hit a plateau, he’ll change it up and you’ll do different workouts for a little while. At the end of each session is a random 5 minute variety of exercises that are more intense than the rest of the workout. “The Finisher” as Ian calls them. That said, I’ve never left a workout overly sore to the point where I can’t function the next day. As you do more and more workouts and they repeat, you might ask yourself “Why do I still need to come here?” “Couldn’t I do this myself now?”IT'S NOT JUST A WORKOUT. It’s life, and that’s one of the best parts is the conversations with Ian about anything and everything. Ian has been one of the most influential people in my life. This comes from discussions about future life goals, careers, philosophical questions, book recommendations, etc. The monumental change he’s made in my life from a mental perspective is something he probably doesn’t realize and something I don't know that I can ever overstate. I don’t know that everyone can expect that, but I do know that you can expect the workout you have at i.e. Fitness to be one of the highlights of your week. As I mentioned before he’s invested his time in making you a better person and he will push you to be better. He will give you that motivation to try harder when you don’t want to or think that you can’t do something. He will push you to your limits, but not push you over them.I know what you're thinking. What about Emily? While I've never worked out with her, I've been lucky enough to be at the gym when she's working out with someone or just stopping by the gym. She's a nice person who brings an energetic atmosphere to the gym with a bubbly personality albeit terrible taste in music :). It is thanks to her I have never been more nervous to lose to a six year old kid and I'm pretty sure she's the reason Ian is so great.If you've gotten this far, my RECOMMENDATION to you is to TAKE THAT FIRST FREE SESSION and then decide for yourself what you think is the best thing for you in your life.Have an amazing day!”

“I have been coming to this gym for a little over a year and let me say - it is filled with great members - and great management! Jeremy is the BEST! On top of being very attentive, professional, and friendly - I walked out to a flat tire in the parking lot a week ago and Jeremy not only helped out a lot, he literally rolled around on the ground and got his hands dirty helping me change it. Needless to say, people like Jeremy are rare - and employees like Jeremy are even harder to find! A great fella - he is a great representative of the gym, and the people that exercise and work there! Highly recommend! Couldn't be any better.”

“Love the variety of workouts each day! These workouts have made a difference in my day to day routine along with playing tennis, pickleball and golf. I feel stronger, flexible and have more energy to get through my day!!”

“Primal Elite Fitness challenges me every time I walk through the door. Bella and Ryan are very knowledgeable and so friendly. An amazing place to exercise even if you’re just starting out!”

“I've been a member at this location for almost 5 year now and I can not begin to say how grateful I am for this community. From the amazing staff to the challenging workouts, I look forward to coming each week and showing up for not only myself but for others. The community of people who come here are inspiring, encouraging and make me want to be better. If you have been wondering whether this type of workout is for you, IT IS! You can taylor each workout to your fitness level and feel comfortable that you will be supported by people who want to see you succeed.”

“I have been doing Renew’s monthly programming since the beginning of the pandemic. They have provided consistency, motivation, health & wellness for the body and mind. Most importantly, they’ve established a community that is supportive and so much fun. We track our progress in many different ways and see change over time with time, speed, strength, confidence. But in my 10th month with ReNew, I dropped a full dress size ? every little bit of this studio is amazing - barre, boxing, upper, lower, total body! Little & big changes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Is it permanently closed?!!!? I went once and was planning on making my new main gym because it’s the only real body building gym around here and I went back and didn’t see anything there? I’m very sad if it’s closed for good wanted to train here bad trying to become pro body builder”

“This is my home away from home. I started training here back in 1992. Chuck Sanow (the owner) is awesome became my mentor, friend and father figure. This is one of the last true hardcore body building gyms out there. You don't realize what hardcire is and how much more you can actually push until spending some time training here. If you are serious about your progress no matter your start point this is the place to get the ball rolling!!!”

“What a gem of gym? I've had a number of gym memberships from the low cost Planet Fitness-type gyms of the world to the fancy-pants FFC's of the world and its no competition, Ferrara Pan Fitness Factory is my favorite hands down for a number of reasons:#1 its just a really cool, industrial yet modern gym. Portraits of great athletes and service-folks line the walls. I feel like Rocky Balboa when I walk in.#2 its not a chain, its local: the staff really care about its success. They keep it really clean.#3 family oriented: Kids are welcome. Many kids taking boxing classes while mom or dad is working out.#4 the variety and diversity of people that workout (the members): a variety of fitness-levels from professional body-builders to boxers to just moms and dads and their kids trying to loose some weight. Young people, old people, men, women, and children. It's just a gem.#5 all the trainers are so nice and so helpful and just amazing whether or not you are training with them or not#6 all the classes are amazing (boxing can be intimidating for beginners but they make the experience super welcoming)#7 tons of resistance training equipment: racks, benches, tons of free-weights, essential machines, just a ton of room, machines, and equipment for just about every exercise you need to do. They even have a set of gymnastics rings hanging from the ceiling with plenty of space to do whatever.#8 tons of cardio equipment: Regular treadmills, curved no-motor treadmills, 2 types of bikes (some with rowing), row machines, pull-down row machines, plenty of jump ropes, weighted vests and you won't believe how many heavy bags are available: you can even borrow boxing gloves to hit the bags with.#9 a full-size boxing ring. Yes, an actual professional ring.#10 opens early (4AM)#11 reasonably priced#12 It's a hidden gem: You can't tell from the outside how big the place is inside.”

“Tried F45 for the first time today, took the Triple Threat class with Brittany, friendly staff and engaging environment. Made me feel welcome and provided a memorable experience. If you are thinking of trying don't think twice! See you soon!”

“Impressive equipment (it's not just a gymnastics setup with some obstacles thrown in - it is legit enough for epic obstacle course TV show training) and friendly staff make this a fantastic place to being kids to learn or adults to train.”

“I thought I would try OT for a little while until I got "sick of it" and was ready to move onto something else.... 18 months (and 211 classes) later and I'm still going strong! I appreciate the OT community, the variety in classes one day to the next, and mostly the results! I feel stronger and more energetic with each day. I am pleasantly surprised by what my body is actually capable of. I have no plans to hang up my towel anytime soon :)”

“I love everything about InspirFit / Spire CrossFit and the workouts. The coaches and the community are what makes it special but the results have been fantastic. I'm always challenged in every class and my body feels better than it ever has.”

“My best decision made so far of joining Big Shoulders CrossFit. Before joining, Brendan the owner was really nice to go through what is unique about CrossFit as I have never tried before. All the coaches are really talented and they look at your form very attentively, which is what we need if we are new to something. They check your form after starting the actual exercise patiently.I highly recommend anyone who wants to try CrossFit as a beginner to give Big Shoulders CrossFit a try and it is going to be worth it!!”
