Friendly and personable owner and trainers, clean facility. I appreciate the attention to detail—I forgot my ponytail band and they keep a supply available for clients. Nice touch!

Very welcoming, great for all levels of experience! All staff members are positive and motivating! I am a newer client at Orange Shoe and I am loving the small classes and the flexibility to choose the times that work for my schedule.

I wanted to say thanks for helping me on my fitness journey!It’s hard to believe a year has gone by since I started up with you. But you personally and your team - Carrie, Pia, and Russell (even Michelle before that) - have been a big part in my physical and mental transformation. I wanted to express my appreciation for your focus and dedication.Dave

I recently joined Orange Show in Park Ridge after cycling through several different trainers and gyms over the years. I wish I found them sooner! They customized a program for my specific goals, keep track of my progress and make adjustments as needed. All of the trainers are the best - special shout out to Pia and Talha for always motivating and pushing me to do more!

I've been going to Orange Shoe for two months now (3x per week), and can honestly say that this experience is changing my life. I have always struggled to keep up a decent fitness routine, and strength training was never part of it. In an effort to keep up with my kids, I decided to try personal training. From my initial consultation with Talha and through my sessions with each trainer (I've worked with all of them), I have felt supported in my journey and inspired to push myself harder. I do still complain during each session, but they seem to be used to that. I can already see and feel a difference in my body, and if I notice this much of a change after two months, I can't wait to see how I'll feel after six months or a year. Also...having a couple of VERY sweet dogs greet me at the gym most mornings is a great way to get started.

This is a great place to work out at! All the trainers are awesome. They customize the workouts to each individual, never pushing you unnecessarily or in a manner that is not safe. Shout out to Carrie, Russ, and Talha! This is by far the best place I’ve worked out at!

I came to the Shoe once my at home workouts were no longer challenging me. After a consistent month of workouts I’ve seen considerable improvement in all body composition metrics - including losing two pounds of body fat! Talha is awesome - his workouts are truly top notch and he provides feedback throughout your workout so you make sure you are targeting the correct muscles. I’m hooked! Thank you Orange Shoe!

I went here for a few months and had a great experience. Everyone is really supportive about trying to get you to your goals. Talha, Carrie and the rest of the gang were great. Really clean facility. Overall, I would recommend this site and these trainers to anyone.

I've been working out here for a few months and am happy with the results so far. I only go about once a week, but feel a bit more toned than before I started. I am usually a bit sore the day following a work out, even still, but it's reassuring: no pain, no gain.Talha and Russell are very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. If you work out with Talha, you get the added bonus of hanging with his sweet dog, Toffee, too. I appreciate that they make sure your form is correct and that you're lifting and moving properly versus just telling you what to do once and not critiquing. I like the fact that there usually isn't anyone else in the studio when I'm there, so no fear of being watched or judged like large gyms.I liked the fact that there was no pressure to join when I first came in for a free trial session. It's convenient to schedule sessions on the app or call/text if you prefer. They always seem willing to work with you, as long as you give them 24 hour notice before cancelling or rescheduling. Sessions cost a bit less than other local places, and it's even less if you do partner training. Plus there are no monthly fees like at gyms.Overall, Orange Shoe seems to have the best deal and environment. I've done personal training at a couple other places locally and I think this one wins in my book.

A+ 5 STARSI cant say enough GREAT things about this location of Orange Shoe. Seriously Talha and everyone are great because its its not just a cookie cutter class like every other place. This is different and the whole experience for my wife Christine has been nothing but amazing for several years. Even I got one on one attention from Talha and I felt cared for. We both have so many POSITIVE things about about Orange Shoe that they cant all fit here.Stop looking and just go here now. THE BEST.

Talha, Carrie & Lucas are the real deal. I have been working with Lucas for a few weeks & can already see & feel the difference in my strength. I am confident in the plan built to support me in meeting my individual goal. He gives me the push I need & helps keep me focused. Stop in & say hello to the cutest mascot “ Toffee”

Coming from the Orange Shoe in Lakeview (downtown), I was excited to try my new location! The trainers have been welcoming and friendly. The half hour small group classes really pack a punch! I have felt improvements in my strength in a few weeks, and look forward to continuing!

After just a couple of months of going to Orange Shoe Park Ridge location I can truly feel and see the difference in my strength, balance and energy. Due to frequent travelling and the location not near my home I'm unable to go as regular as I should, however, the training by Brian is so effective that I have seen rapid results in my "tennis elbow" injury and "popping/cracking" knees. Talha the owner is always ready to assist and responds effectively when needed, along with his oversight of a well run and clean environment; provides an exceptional experience in what a "real Gym" should be; keep up the good work!!
