If you're a woman serious about training, avoid this place…read more I've been harassed multiple times.. had inappropriate comments made. Had both male and female members invading my personal space and even been followed to my car. I've reported these incidents to management, but nothing is done. It reflects an outdated management style that excuses harassment, both sexually and in terms of basic boundaries. There is no effort to protect members. The facility itself is poorly maintained. The locker rooms are very dirty and outdated...It's completely overpriced for what it is. I do not feel safe at this gym.

I believe HIIT is the most effective group fitness method, and Shred415 is the best place I've…read morefound on the North Shore for it. I have family in the area, though Shred415 wasn't around when I was a kid. When I'm home to see my parents and want a real burn, this is where I go. Group fitness wasn't really a thing when I left the North Shore. Many years and hundreds of classes later, I'm fully hooked. The format is simple, hard, and effective: treadmill intervals, calisthenics with hand weights, bodyweight work, and enough stretching to keep the class feeling complete. The programming is already built, so I can put my mind on cruise control and follow the workout in front of me. Then it's about effort, sustainability, and staying honest with myself. That combination builds strength, helps me lose weight, and keeps me flexible without risking injury. The Northfield studio is clean, well laid out, and easy to settle into, with big bathrooms, showers, and childcare, which is a huge plus if you have little ones. The app is easy to use, and the class times are solid. The classes are busy but I can usually find something that works when I'm back in town. I've taken classes with Meg, Jacki, Marci, Melissa, and Kim; all have been great. I'll absolutely be back!

I know I need to vary my workout and shed additional pounds but most off all, I need the motivation to make it a regular habit. I started to research a few gyms with Shred415 being one of them. They're a circuit training gym offering group classes and caters to all skill levels. On my recent visit, Jordan was my instructor. She was awesome. She was lively, showed us proper form when switching to floor exercises and kept us motivated the entire time. Their parking lot is ample and I didn't have trouble finding a space. I'm hoping to make a decision in a month and glad I got the chance to try this place out.

INITIAL REVIEW…read more OrangeTheory could be the urban oasis I've been looking for in the 'burbs. I've been desperate to get out of the house and start working out again. A couple of my friends actually drive upwards of an hour just to get to OrangeTheory in Evanston. So when I heard they were opening up in Bannockburn, I jumped on the chance. This site is currently in a pre-trial phase, so I get to see the bugs they're working out, etc. We early adopters get to try out the program for a couple of weeks and see what it's all about. It seems fitting they moved into the previous Sylvan location (which moved around the corner) after all of the afternoons I spent there all last year getting tutoring help for my kiddo. The idea of the program is a one-hour workout... 30 minutes cardio, 30 minutes strength training. I have to say... I am quickly reminded of just how out of shape I am. The good news is you can make the program work to your own personal level of fitness. There are "softer" men and women there as well as some serious hardbodies. Also, in the pre trial phase there doesn't seem to be any egos. You know... you go to the gym and see how much more in shape everyone is. With this program, you're really only focusing on yourself. Although, the person next to me RUNNING the whole half hour of cardio... yeah... couldn't ignore that. I, on the other hand, am a "power walker" and just fine with that. The room itself is dimly lit with huge orange orbs that give the room a cool vibe. They have a good stereo system going and seem to be picking great music so far. The headset today kept blowing on the instructor -- like I said, they're figuring out the kinks. I have a feeling when I do an official review it'll be fixed. The instructors are also new to OrangeTheory but not the kind of instructor who is just your next door neighbor who decides to go teach a class. They know what's going on but figuring out the timing of the class. Again, I don't expect these bumps to last. We are pioneering a new location after all. They are in a pretrial period through June 26 (I think) which means pretrial prices. Just a thought...

I have been a member for about a month now and just upgraded from the lowest membership to the…read moreelite membership, so I'm definitely enjoying it. The lowest package offered allows you 4 visits a month whereas the elite package allows 8 visits a month. After a month, I realized I would see results quicker by coming twice a week. This location is very small and only has one room, but that seems to be plenty for the clientele in the area. The classes I've attended are anywhere from 5-15 people. And the classes can literally fit into anyone's schedule. There are classes 7 days a week starting as early as 5:45am all the way to 7pm. This fitness style is really geared towards non athletic to semi athletic individuals who need guidance in a workout session. If you're already a hard core exerciser, then OTF really isn't necessary for you. I enjoy it so much because the coach offers that bit of accountability that I need to keep pushing myself. I love how everyone in attendance is participating in the same thing, so it is not a gym in any sense. These are purely studios to attend a class. It's super unintimidating because every body is different and you really cannot base your stats against someone else's. Overall, this studio is clean and offers all necessities. I've experienced very friendly staff as well!
