Fitness & Gyms in St. Charles, IL

“Orange Theory St Charles is the best. Not only do you get a great workout but you also have a new community of people who share a passion for exercise and health. The staff is top notch - they are friendly, welcoming and know what they are doing. It is an amazing environment and I’m so glad I am a member”

“I joined Core FSN late summer and have not regretted this decision once! The atmosphere and community are second to none! All the coaches are amazing and have the best intentions for you to grow physically and emotionally.Not only is there only greatness within the community, they are more than understanding on your time and schedule. If you can’t be there right at the start, no big deal, just jump in! Also they offer a mid day class which comes in super handy for me(work from home full time & Mom of preschool/kindergarten).I would recommend Core FSN every time!”

“I am physically kind of lazy, which never bothered me until I hit 50 -- at which point I started to feel decades older and found myself spending much of my free time on the sofa (I have a job that requires sitting at a computer all day). After a stop-and-start sort of year, but for the last 6 months working out pretty regularly 3X a week for 30 min at FIT, I feel as though I've recaptured a huge part of my youth. No more am I dreading crouching down to look at something on a lower shelf while out shopping. No more am I avoiding doing simple things like cleaning out the garage or handling simple yardwork. I have more energy and more flexibility and feel competent to do physical things. I didn't realize until recently how much PAIN I was actually in because I was so inflexible and had so little muscle tone. Wish I hadn't listened to all those people who said it wasn't "worth" going to the gym unless you committed gobs of time. I really am indolent and made a truly minimal effort, basically just showing up, but it's made an incredible difference in my life and my mood just to be able to move easily. My only regret was not starting years ago rather than at age 54 (now 55). Jan is a wonderful instructor and offers training that is practically one-on-one in a relaxed atmosphere, but does "push" me enough that I feel that I've accomplished something. I really can't imagine NOT making time to work out in the future. Love the gym and love the people. The one-on-one sessions are great, too. Can't say enough about what a revelation it has been to feel good. It's improved my mental health too.”

“Love this place! I recently joined Competitor’s Edge and had the privilege of training with Nick and I can confidently say it has been nothing short of transformative!! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm, setting the tone for what would become an incredible fitness journey.The facility itself is top-notch, super clean and equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and a welcoming atmosphere that immediately made me feel at home. Plus, they bump awesome music to keep your energy levels high and focus in check ???Nick goes above and beyond to tailor my workouts to individual needs and preferences, making each session challenging yet enjoyable. His passion for fitness is contagious, motivating me to push past my limits and strive for greatness with every workout. He has amazing energy that makes you feel like you can accomplish anything! Would give 10 stars if I could!! I recommend for all levels of fitness and athletic ability ”

“I can’t help but share a really cool experience that happened to my son…Tonight was the first night of football evaluations for the upcoming season in which my son is enrolled with the Tri-City Chargers 11U program. At the end of the night, after the kids completed all of their drills, the head coach of the Gold D1 team called my son out and told him to stand up in front of the other boys. He wanted to acknowledge that out of the 83 boys there, the coaches noticed him and his performance. It wasn’t that he was the best one out there…it was that they knew that even though he had taken a year off from football, it was apparent that he had put a lot of work in to be ready for this moment.His journey started in November of last year, in which he took speed and agility classes along with football position specific training…all with the goal of being the best version of himself on the field this season. This would not have been possible without the wonderful coaches at Power Athletics and Grid Iron Godz…Davion Mitchell and David Brown are truly great athletes/coaches/men and I would highly recommend them to anyone!”

“I've been a long-time member and this is a great community and the workouts are different every day which keeps it interesting. Highly recommend joining this gym.”

“This man has completely changed my life. I don't know where to begin. I am approaching 40 and I am in better shape now than when I was in my early 20s because of his practice and advice. He has fixed ailments and even helped me lower my cholesterol through diet and supplements. I advise anyone I know to go see Dr. Josh. He's a wizard.”

“Flatlander is a great gym! I have been a member for 6+ years, the owners are super friendly and they are constantly bringing in new equipment. Also, vs. many other Crossfit type gyms I have been to, Flatlander is spotless.”

“Edgar is a great trainer. Been going to the MMA classes for a few months now and have learned so much. Will continue to go, great service and extremely friendly.”

“I went to the gym from August 2023 - January 2023, I moved to Texas, and honestly, not a day goes by that I don’t miss it. The community at The Basement Gym is welcoming, friendly, and always willing to help out.

I did have a small membership cancellation hiccup but the staff called me to verify who was working when I cancelled and followed up to make sure the issue was taken care of with no prompting from my side.

The equipment is in excellent condition, there were only 2-3 pieces of equipment broken or not usable during my 4 months of membership.

They have a barbershop in the gym which is a nice touch.

The gym, shower, and locker room were kept clean and were always in pristine condition.

The owner of the gym was always there and is very friendly.

This gym genuinely sets the bar high for what a gym should be and other gyms should strive to meet the same standards. I compare every gym I go to with The Basement Gym and I haven’t found anything that comes close.

If you’re looking for a place to feel motivated, a place where you are surrounded by positivity, a place where you can be serious about getting in shape and staying that way, this is the gym for you.

My only complaint is almost a compliment - the most busy time of day when I went was 6am -8am, even on a weekend, it felt like people were almost too motivated sometimes LOL.”

“Visiting this gym and how great the staff is. Working with Becca here. She has helped me learn how to eat better. Also the gym is very welcoming to come an work out. I have to say that if you have questions staff is there to help you out in anyway they can.”

“Logan at the St Charles Fitness Center, He was very Helpful, Courteous and very knowledgeable. He also keeps The Center very clean especially The Men's Bathroom and Shower Stalls keeps them very Sanitary, He is a leader and can become Management.”

“I am first going start out by saying, Gyms can be very intimidating and I have had some not good experiences with some gyms in the past, so needless to say I was very hesitant on joining a gym again however, health wise, I knew I had to. A few of my friends were members at Xsport (now LA Fitness) and said it was great, so I thought ok, I will give it a try. My experience since signing up has been top tier. Jordan the general manager is awesome, he really does go above and beyond. He doesn't treat you like a "customer" he treats you like a friend, almost like family, I have had a few ups and downs, and he ALWAYS made sure that I was taken care of. The trainers are great, I am partial to Shaley as she was my trainer, always super positive, and sometimes I would ask her to work out with me so I felt more comfortable and she would and it was fun when I had sessions with her. Honestly, the entire staff is great, always a smile and hello and a willingness to help. The more I went the more comfortable I felt doing workouts on my own. I would definitely recommend this gym to my friends and family and as a matter of fact have, since I joined 4 of my friends (2 are my roommates) have joined and they LOVE it! So, a huge shout out to Jordan and his team for doing a fantastic job!”
