Personal Trainers in Chicago!!!

eendre2

Hey knotties!!!! Okay I was wondering if anyone knows of any gyms or personal trainers in Chicago (downtown) that will (excuse my language) kick my ass back into shape! I am not overweight, I just need to tone and look the best I can for my wedding day!!! Any suggestions would be great especially since I am brand new to the workout scene!!!!

I have a great trainer. She also teaches at my gym which is called Executive Sports & Fitness Club. It is in the United Building in the loop (Wacker & Clark). 

Her company is called Comfy Fitness. Here is a link to her FB page. Her name is Kira and I just can't tell you how much I love her. She has 100% changed the way that my body looks. I have always been thin, but now I am toned as well.

I just wanted to advise against getting a trainer at an XSport gym, in case you're considering it.

I put 20 sessions PT sessions prior to our wedding (twice a week; 10 wks) and in that time period I went through 4 trainers bc they either left the gym or quit.  It was beyond frustrating trying to have consistency with my goals!

When I lived in the city I used to go to Fitness Formula Club on Clark (2 blocks from Division).  I just looked at their website and all of the trainers are still there that were there 2 years ago when I was a member.  They are all great but my trainer was Liz.  She was very calm and nice but definitely pushed me!

I agree about Xsport.  Their trainers suck!

Thank you so much!!!! I will definitely look into all the suggestions!!! About XSport, I used to be a member there, and the one I went to was more of a "hang out" then a gym. Girls would wear HIGH HEELS! Who wears high heels at a gym!? XSport definite no-no lol!

Ha, I've never seen that at my location; although there are other things I side-eye!

I actually workout at the Xsport on State and Lake.. Sometimes I workout with a friend who's a trainer. He's awesome. Not Xsport related though. He's a boxer and does MMA fighting. When we workout together even the Xsport trainers r amazed.
