People are there for individualized expert instruction of the highest caliber, not to see or be seen. PF does not disappoint. It is a great facility.

The owners of PF are both deeply experienced personal trainers who are hands-on in the success of every member of the club. Everyone who trains at PF is serious about improving their health and fitness. If you are looking for a no-nonsense place to pursue your fitness journey, I highly recommend Phenomenal Fitness!

The space is perfect for people who want to do personal training or teach their own classes. They have a parking lot behind the building for paid parking, street parking, and even access to the bank parking lot early in the morning before it opens. The facility has quiet bathrooms with showers and a lower level with additional training areas and fitness equipment. It's an ideal spot for someone who prefers supporting a locally owned business instead of major chains like Planet Fitness or Snap. This gym really offers a unique experience, especially being a Chicago-based business!

I had to cut out quite a bit of my review as it was to long to Yelp. Here are the highlights:…read more - Member etiquette and Cleanliness: I can't tell you how many times someone takes something I'm using when my stuff is sitting right there OR members use the benches as a personal locker for personal items while they aren't using it for a workout. This even happens when trainers are on the room and sometimes it's the trainers themselves! Trainers also eat warm meals in the gym so you have to smell their meal while you work out. Often barbells and plates are not put back at all, even with a trainer present, dumbbell shelf is a mess. Crumpled paper towel, piles of lifting chalk, empty bottles, remnants of the awful yoga mats litter the ground. No in person management present just trainers, I've never seen so many trainers in one gym before. The lack of in person management shows. Sometimes there's no TP in the bathroom for example in the winter the metal stairs will not be shoveled for snow or salted for ice. A couple of times I have slid on the ice. There's not even a bag around for members to do it themselves. -The Actual Space: is quite limited. The downstairs free weight area is rather small and if even 5 people are down there the place feels full and this is actually a recent improvement from the upstairs room. It's also spread out over 3 main rooms on two floors so there's a lot of walking to get to different equipment and for many you cant switch without going down a flight of stairs. The free weight area feels dungeon like with no windows and a low ceiling. There are windows in the bjj area you can kind of see from the doors but it's not the same. It feels like your lifting in a basement (and you are). It also smells like rubber to the point I've gotten headaches and has poor ventilation. It also amplifies sound so it's overwhelming with trainers, music etc going. The vibe feels more like your lifting in your friends home gym in his unfinished basement with equipment he got at a garage sale then working out in a professional facility. The space itself isn't well maintained either. The fire extinguisher upstairs has broken glass that's sharp and jagged just chilling for over a year now (was like that before I joined), plates and dumbbell's are left out, or put back incorrectly, piles of lifting chalk, drinks etc.. can be found on the floor. Members don't rerack anything (which is true for every gym in the Hyde park area). There's some cube drawers and a shoe rack but no locker room. So, you're carrying all your stuff with you throughout your workout since you can't lock anything up. There is a bathroom with a single shower and toilet in a separate room. -The Equipment: There is an overall lack of machines. There is almost a full set of leg machines but is missing calf. The only upper body machines are a chest press and assisted dip/pullup and cable machines. No machines or abs, arms, shoulders, other muscles like you would see in other gyms. There are 4 squat racks, 1 smith machine, 1 leg press, 1 set of dumbbells (5 pound increments) so minimal to the amount of people using them. No preacher curl rack, no deadlift racks. You'll use the 2 main squat racks for most of our workout and so does everyone else. The equipment is a mismatch of quality. 2 of the squat racks are really nice like you would expect in a professional gym. 2 are small and wobbly like you would expect in a home basement gym. The machines are a mismatch of brand and colors. It feels like all the equipment was purchased used at a garage sale. Not a big deal if it was maintained well but it's not. Not all machine plates are in pounds. There are not enough weight plates to go around. If someone's going heavy on the leg press good luck on a squat rack. Similarly, there are not enough barbells downstairs. There is one barbell that's broken and has been laying on the floor for months. If one person is deadlifting, there are not enough for the racks. They are also inconsistent some are rubber, some are iron, some have handles. Your stack will always look lopsided. Only 1 pair of 2.5 plates in the whole gym. The equipment isn't in great shape. Bent out of shape barbells, some adjustable benches are bent at certain holes making them dangerous. Clips don't work and plates slide off. -My biggest issue: large group fitness classes from about 5am to 9am most days as well as evening prime time after work (think). This means if you're a lone wolf free weightlifter like me who goes in the morning your competing with sometimes 10 to 15 other people in a group class. You won't get a squat rack, all the dumbbell's are taken etc.. It's loud and chaotic and you'll adjust your planned workout every day to take whatever is left over. -The gym cost is $75 a month, up to $40 more than chain gyms in the area which are as low as $10 - $35 and I just can't justify the cost for what you get.

The workouts are fun (if you're into that kind of thing ) and challenging. I really like that they watch for form and seem to care that you're training safely and focusing on function rather than simply lifting heavy or getting in more reps. They offer a few different classes and a variety of times that cater to different needs.

The gym owners/coaches communication style leaves a lot to be desired. They can be harsh and scolding. When I sent an email expressing concern about the communication style they pulled me out of class, said i was disrespectful for telling them how to run their business, told me that as a single person with no responsibilities I had no business how to tell a single mom and a father of two how to run their business. The kicker for me was when the encouraged me to look into why I identifeid with a weak person (another client who they asked to leave). If you can ignore the vibe and focus on the way your body moves then you'll do better than I did here.

It's clean, has lots of cardio equipment, strength equipment and great classes. I've taken 2 HIIT classes so far and they were well taught and targeted the entire body. I was so sore after them but it's exactly what I was hoping for. In addition to the equipment, there's also a running track, a basketball gym and a sauna. Right next door there is also a cafe. I haven't tried anything there but it looks nice. For the most part parking is easy to find, either on the street in front of the lot just east of the facility. One of the best aspects of the gym is the value. For my husband and I, it's only $25/mo for autopay. We love working out at LCFC!!

Id worked out at GetFit since October of 2022. In that time span, I purchased 3 packages of 30…read moresessions ($4,050) and I gifted a package of 10 sessions to a friend ($450) for a total of $4,500 for training. I had also purchased two detox juice cleanses ($200) and 2 4-day order of overnight oats ($80) for grand total of $4,780. The prices have gone up for new customers since then. (30 sessions are now $1800) Something to keep in mind before signing. They have a 24 hour cancellation policy. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours in advance , they will take a session from you. So if you wake up extremely ill, and cancel 6 hours in advance of your session, they will still take the session regardless of how much money you have spent or loyalty that you have shown them. It's their "right" to do so, because it is their business and they can choose to have whatever policy they want... However, it is also the customers right to feel unappreciated and then leave the gym. Which is exactly what I did. Disappointing.

He makes sure that you use proper form and get in a great work out. The prices are very reasonable and the space is always clean. I regularly see them wiping down the equipment. I personally haven't been to a class but from what I can tell it's a very close knit community as I see members having a conversation after they complete a class. The gym is also very professional, all sessions start on time and throughout the sessions the trainer makes sure that you're okay. Jonathan the owner makes it easy to sign up for sessions and is very welcoming. I would highly recommend this gym no matter where you are in your fitness journey.

It has an old school feel with ab machines that you can't really find in most gyms. I typically work out in the 1-3 PM area to avoid the rush, like most gyms; it's busy before & after the 9-5 hours. If you're the type of person that likes scented towels and fancy things at your gym, this is probably not the spot for you. They recently remodeled the women's bathroom but the men's is still a bit outdated, which personally doesn't bother me at all. I come to just workout & stay motivated. Happy Lifting
