He taught me so many valuable things--not only about fitness, but also about discipline, consistency, and believing in myself. His passion for helping others grow and improve really shows in everything he does. I'm extremely grateful for everything I've learned through Tone Up 2 Fitness, and I wish him nothing but the best of luck as he continues to grow his business. I have no doubt he will keep succeeding and open many more locations in the future. Bart is also great for people who don't speak English, as he communicates very well in Polish, English, and Spanish. He is fun, motivating, and easy to work with, which makes every training session enjoyable. I'm very grateful for everything I've learned, and I wish him the best of luck as he continues growing his business.

From the coaches to the athletes working out - you can sense the encouragement and positivity. Doesn't matter what level you are at; from just starting to workout, or been doing it for years - everyone here wants the best for the next person. Coaches are knowledgeable and friendly - they are extremely approachable and helpful. I find that they are very good at getting to know their athletes and understanding when to push and when to ease up. I really can't say enough about the place- no matter what I type here, you won't truly appreciate it until you jump in and give it a go! Literally could end up being a game changer in your life!

So proud to be the first to review my trainer…read more My wife and I have been weight training with Mercedes for just over a year. I started after losing 45 pounds on a Keto diet and my wife 32 pounds. Since beginning my training I have lost another waist size and I have put on roughly 30 pounds of muscle. Its been a life-changing experience and we made a friend along the way. I am attaching the before and after photo for myself and a photo of my wife and me at the one year mark worth of weight training. Mercedes has been amazing. She motivates and drives us. She provides a meal plan and support. Outside of weight training, she runs bootcamps and other programs for groups. Strongly recommend!

Although this is not my home gym, I am a First Ascent member and come here pretty regularly to…read moreclimb with my sibling. This is probably my favorite location they have due to the variety of climbing walls they have for bouldering, generally less busy than the bigger block 37 location, and also a great weight room section. Parking can be a bit tricky and would make sure to read all signs around the neighborhood to make sure you're not getting a ticket. One thing that I really appreciate is that they really take feedback into account. For example, I had requested a trap-bar for the weight room at this location and my home gym. After a couple months, I saw it was part of the most recent round of gym equipment they ordered. Additionally, I appreciate them trying to keep the weight room organized, especially sectioning off an area mainly for stretching/core/non-weight activities. The only critique is more of a personal preference in that I would prefer they rotate and put up new problems sooner. I think they update a section every 6 weeks? I'd probably prefer closer to a month, but that's mostly because I'm impatient and if I can't get a problem in 1-3 sessions, I basically give up working on it and would like something new. Tl;dr: Great bouldering gym in Humboldt Park with a nice weight room. Would recommend!

I love this climbing gym! There's a surprisingly large parking lot here (despite being in the…read moremiddle of the city), and there's even some bike parking where cyclists can securely lock their bikes. Coming from a different gym, we had to get certified for belaying. Fortunately, through their membership system, we were able to take an extremely informative class, then take the belay test at our convenience at our next climbing session. These walls are probably the tallest I've seen in my cimbing time! Even my more experienced friends say they often get exhausted around 3/4 of the way through a route. Certainly a welcome challenge for top roping. With a membership (or day pass), you also have access to the full gym and bouldering upstairs. Members also have access to a host of yoga classes at different times. The locker room is super convenient with built in locks that you need to input a numeric combination. There are plenty of bathrooms and clean showers. Definitely worth checking out!

My favorite things about this gym: - Creative setting in the shorter walled section so you feel more comfortable trying new moves without the fear of falling too far - The layout with open sweeping views and plenty of light - The arch - tons of cool practice with overhangs and traverses - Bike parking inside! - Big area with mats upstairs to do warm-up and warm-down stretches Areas this gym could improve: - Cleaner holds! Not just Uptown - all of the locations. They're so greasy that it automatically adds a grade to any problem, and not in a fun way. - For lower-rated climbs, setting routes that aren't just jug ladders. It is possible to make beginner climbs fun and challenging in a puzzly way, but Uptown doesn't do that. It's all jugs. - More community events, and the community events that exist should be free to members. If I'm a member I shouldn't also be paying to go to sound baths or take fitness classes and participate in citizens' competitions. I've never been a member of a gym that charges its members for ANY events. There are free events at FA, but they're essentially just meetups. Anything with more to offer carries a charge.
