So far, so good! I called Kathryn after searching for trainers on Yelp, my go to app! We…read moreexchanged a few emails and then she called me to talk person to person. We went over my expectations and she was positive and enthsiastic while discussing goals and needs. She answered further emails quickly. Based on our exchanges so far, I am leaning towards selecting Kathryn as my personal trainer!

Kathryn is wonderful! I have had a great experience training with her for the past 6 weeks. When I…read morefirst met with her and I explained what my goals were she was very honest about what was realistic and laid out her thoughts on a game plan (protein goals, number of workouts, food suggestions). She has a background in being a life coach so she is attentive to your total wellness, not just physical, which is key for me. I work out with her exclusively via FaceTime and as a busy, working Mom, it couldn't be more perfect. She is on time and friendly, even at 6 am! If you are on the fence about contacting her, do it! You won't regret it. Scheduling times with her is easy and if I ever need to move times around she is very accommodating. Also, from the beginning she was upfront about her fees and wanted to make sure that we stayed within my budget. She never pushed me to do more than I was comfortable with. Kathryn utilized a phone app called Trainerize, which I love. She loads the work outs in the app after we have completed them so I am able to do them on my own on days of the week that I don't work out with her. It is very easy to follow along.

Alma was my personal trainer from the end of August-October 2012 when she was still at LA Fitness…read more The only reason I stopped in October is because I used all my training sessions and purchasing more was not in the budget. I enjoyed working out with Alma - as some of the other reviewers have said, she is very friendly and professional. She always demonstrated the exercises first and made sure I was using proper form. I've worked out with several other trainers, who sometimes seemed like they wanted to get the session over with and were not that invested in me. Alma gave me her full attention and never made me feel that way. She was firm but patient and never pushy. If you're looking for a personal trainer but want to avoid gym sales people pressuring you to buy more sessions, Alma is the perfect choice.

The only bathroom on gym floor has been out of service for over 2 weeks! The bathrooms are always filthy even first thing in the morning. A good amount of trainers are out of shape.

Nicole and the front desk staff are always helpful and extremely nice. The coaches have been the same for the past year which I appreciate as they do get to know you and your limitations and will help push you if needed. They also give you modifications for exercises if you have an injury. I went into OTF not being able to do much because of a knee and lower back injury. I had to start off super slow and wasn't able to use much weight when doing strengthening exercises. Lindsay in particular watched me to ensure I was doing exercises correctly and modified me as necessary to ensure I didn't further injure myself. She also always checked in on me every class to see how I was doing. The coaches are definitely there to support you and to help make you the best you can be. Within the last 6 months I have lost weight and fat, built muscle and strength, learned how to push myself, and most importantly OTF has allowed me to gain muscle around my knees and strengthen my core and I'm now able to do exercises that I was never able to do previously. They also have competitions, events, deals, etc which are fun to participate in. I can't thank OTF and the coaches enough for helping me and pushing me to be a better me!

I come 4-5x per week, maybe more, and I hear the same music EVERY SINGLE DAY. It's the same 3-4 Pitbull songs on every playlist, and a rotating mix of the same 50-60 songs that are 2010 club music. There are so many different genres of music and songs, yet for some reason, there is absolutely zero variety. Once in a blue moon you might get something different (shout out Ang) but you'll likely hear the same thing every day. Even the "remixes" are repeated across the playlists that are used. I BEG YOU - Please get some different songs in rotation. It's not even about the genre. ITS THE SAME SONGS EVERY SINGLE DAY.

To say this place has changed my life is an understatement. I joined here in October of 2016. At…read morethat time, I was barely able to walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded, my knees ached regularly, and I was just generally out of shape. The BMT team worked with me and accommodated moves so I could build my strength without hurting myself along the way. They guided me on nutritional goals as well as strength and fitness goals with their wealth of knowledge, motivation, encouragement, and most of all - passion! I've progressed so much in a year and a half, and I continue to improve. The fellow gym-goers are just as supportive as the staff, and I've met some incredibly supportive people along the way. I now can do almost all moves unassisted and I'm stronger now than I was back in high school when I played 3 sports. This place is supportive, welcoming, and accommodating. I'm so thankful for the BMT staff and fellow attendees - without them, I truly don't know where I would be!

This isn't a glitz-and-glam gym. There are no flashy lights or influencer vibes. What you get instead is something far more valuable a healthy, structured strengthening program with real guidance to help you become a better version of yourself. It's about movement, longevity, and building strength the right way. What really sets this gym apart is the coaching staff. The coaches are consistent not rotating in and out which makes a huge difference. They know your name, your goals, your strengths, and where you need improvement. That continuity builds trust and real progress. The community is amazing. This isn't just a place to work out. Members volunteer with local pet shelters, connect outside the gym for pickleball gatherings, and host educational sessions on topics like perimenopause giving women knowledge and giving men insight so they can better support the women in their lives. That kind of environment is rare. Every month there are new challenges to push yourself, plus self-achievement awards that recognize individual wins. And I have to say the spicy stickers are a nice touch. Small detail, but it shows they celebrate effort and consistency in a fun way. Beyond Measure isn't just about lifting weights. It's about building strength in your body, confidence in yourself, and connection in your life. If you're looking for community, accountability, and long-term health plus fun this is it.

I first connected with Danny when I was looking for a trainer for two of my teens. Danny responded…read moreto my request for more information immediately and was very professional and engaging. He suggested we meet with his associate Joe, who had experience working with teens and young athletes. My teens and I went to the gym to meet with Danny and Joe and we were immediately impressed. Danny and Joe were very enthusiastic and nice and made the kids feel excited about fitness. Joe has been an incredibly good fit for my kids, as he strikes the right balance between being a mentor and challenging the kids to reach their fitness goals. He is a former youth athlete himself and has a good understanding of the fitness needs of teens/athletes and (importantly) also how to improve fitness safely! Joe also has a very caring approach to working with kids, which appealed very much to one of my teens who was struggling with weight issues. Both Danny and Joe are incredibly accessible by phone and text, and both called several times to ensure that were happy with the services they were providing. I also want to say that the gym where they train clients (Anytime Fitness off of 75th in Naperville) is immaculate. Every time I was there, the owner, Mike, was cleaning! If you are looking for a trainer to work with your teens (or yourself), stop looking and hire Danny or Joe!
