Dr. Stu is one of the most personable, experienced and knowledgable chiropractors and athletic…read moretrainers I know. As my chiropractor, he keeps me well-informed about the treatment he gives me, taking the time to answer all my questions. I have always felt great as a result of his adjustments. I personally know other patients that Dr. Stu has helped recover from serious injury: My father, who had lost most of his shoulders range of motion due to a pinched nerve, was able to recover to normal function after receiving treatment from Dr. Stu and following his physical therapy regiment. I was really impressed with Dr. Stu's new training facility at Paradigm. It is spacious, clean, and well-equipped for athletic training. Most of all, Paradigm designed to meet a wide-range of personal fitness and performance training needs. My favorite feature of the facility is the synthetic grass field--perfect for sprints, cross-training and simulating field-sport athletics (eg. soccer, football). I highly recommend Dr. Stu for anyone who is looking to enhance their fitness or athletic performance, rehab sports injury, or lose weight & feel great.

Ok I will tell you this is an AMAZING gym! Or should I call it a "gem." The Owner is a professional…read morebody builder and HER name is Nilsa! Let me tell you she is NO JOKE! If you want to work on weight loss, getting in shape or even train to be a professional body builder Nilsa is your key to success...and of course YOUR HARD WORK! Losing weight is not easy folks, there is no magic pill, no QUICK way to get to your goal! Come in, like I did, overweight and I'm desperate need of a transformation. Change your diet, Nilsa can provide you with a specific training session built specifically for you with planned meals that you can make once a week to eat as the week goes on. Food is really our enemy out there folks...along with sugar and salt! It is too easy these days to eat poorly and guess what...that is at least 70% of your journey! Throw in working out 6 days a week, some cardio each day and the right diet and you will have the keys to the size you want to be! This IS NOT A SHORT OR QUICK JOURNEY!!! Do not have expectations that are not possible to meet! When you start a program look at it the terms of AFTER 12 MONTHS where will you be. I said it right, after 313 days(I took out your days off) is what you want to put in your mind. The people at this gym are amazing. There are some actual body builders here...I am, cough cough, not one of them but I serve H2O better than Bobby Boucher Jr! They will talk to you and encourage you when they see that you are consistent in your commitment. They have helped me already and folks I am not much more than a month into my transformation. Am I where I want to be..no way. Do I see improvement? Hell yes I do, I already lost a full pants size. It is your health, your life and your future. Stop thinking about it, call Nilsa and get your ass in here! You will truly thank yourself for the person that you have become when you get to your goal...and on the way to your goal is actually pretty freaking sweet too!

Best place ever! I have been training with David at EmpowerU Fitness for 7 months and it has been…read moreamazing. He is an amazing coach and really understands what I need. I loved him so much that my whole family now trains with him. You can tell he really knows his stuff and works really hard to help you hit your goals. I sought out a personal trainer to help me runner fast in a dog sport. I was slow and couldn't keep up. Now I am much more agile and my increased speed helps my dog run even faster now! I can't wait to see the continued results!

If you are thinking of calling David, I encourage you to take that first step. My son-in-law tells…read moreme "whoever you are working with, they are making a difference"...."a year ago, you would never have tried any of the things you're doing now". It wasn't the weight that bothered me. It was my inability to do various activities with my family. I choose to sign up for his 42 day program and lost 23 pounds. I kept working with David and lost another 29 pounds. The weight loss has been great; however, more important to me is how my life has changed. I'm off my blood pressure medication, I have signed up for a 5K, and can take my grandson on a 10 mile bike ride. My health and quality of life has significantly improved. I've never been hungry or felt any of the training was beyond my abilities. I have learned what it looks like to eat right and take care of myself. The small class size allows us to support one another. David made minor modifications to the exercises so I could build strength and accommodate the osteoarthritis in my knee. David has treated me with respect, demonstrated discretion, and worked with me to achieve what I felt was important. If you are looking for someone to work alongside you, to help you achieve what is important to you, David at EmpowerU fitness is absolutely the way to go!

Last year, I decided it would be good to start running. I hate running, so I needed somewhere good…read moreto go on colder days when I didn't feel like running in the streets. One of my friends told me to check this place out, which was only a couple miles away from me. She loved their classes (she did Yoga, Pilates, and some kind of ab class) and thought I'd benefit from their facilities, especially the track. Although the Centre has a membership fee for the machines & classes, I was able to use the track for free since I was a resident (at the time). That was all I needed. I loved it! The track was clean and never too crowded. I don't think a lot of people realized what a gem this place was. I went at different times during the day and enjoyed running quietly by myself or alongside my husband (he came with me a couple times). Lockers are also available next to the track with keys. I also walked around the Centre and saw two nice pools, climbing wall, new & clean machines, and several rooms for classes. The only downside is that the parking garage is kind of narrow and you have to watch out for cars coming around the corner. It's hard to find parking sometimes, but at least the garage is attached to some kind of indoor bridge over the street so you don't have to walk across the street. I also came here once for some kind of green festival and really enjoyed all the displays, booths, taste samples, art, and petting zoo! Many parts of Elgin are really run-down but this is one part of Elgin that shines. If it wasn't for the Centre (and the library nearby), I wouldn't have been complete.

It turns out by the 3rd class I was able to do things I never thought I could do. I am one of those people who sign up for a gym go once, maybe twice per week for awhile. After about a month of that I end up quitting because I am bored and keep thinking of other things that I should be getting done. I didn't put much effort into my workouts. But once I walked into Out of Body Fitness all of that changed. The staff is highly knowledgable with all aspects of fitness. Edgar and Tammy are truly AMAZING! I have been going for a couple of weeks and the changes I am seeing in myself are something I never thought possible. There are many people who say they are personal trainers but have little to no education as a trainer. That is not the case at Out of Body Fitness. These people are highly educated in the fitness field and know what works to take you from whatever level you are at physically and make you stronger, leaner, and healthier. I just wish I didn't waste all of those years at the gym and would of found them sooner. I love that they constantly change my exercises and are able to push me to the next level which is what shocks me the most. I walk out of there feeling so much stronger and healthier. I would encourage anyone who wants to see results quickly to go there.
