No thanks. My friend and I tried this studio on a Saturday morning. We went up to the trainer to…read morecheck in and told her this was our first class and we were greeted with an unenthusiastic "oh no" with an underlying tone of dread and annoyance. Well if that doesn't make someone feel welcome I don't know what will. The rest of the class was equally as amazing. My friend and I took spots on two machines and the instructor then told us we needed to move inwards so we would be in the middle of the others who had been there before. Ok, fine. However I soon came to learn she had no intentions of actually instructing the class- and instead wanted to rely on the other students to show us what to do. Too bad they were all doing different things. After going through the 50 minutes of boring, monotone commands from said 'instructor' the class was finally over. Im not sure if she was hungover, just broke up with her boyfriend or had a migraine, but that was the least motivating class taught by someone who clearly didn't want to be there or instruct proper movement. In a city of a bazillion pilates studios, you'd have to pay me to go back.

I've been working out at TriFitness for two years - so you know I like it and it works. With two…read moretrainers switching the morning workouts you get plenty of variety. As other reviewers have stated, there are people at all levels of fitness - everyone is encouraged to tailor the workout to their level. They have a huge indoor area and all the equipment you expect. All in all a positive atmosphere and experience. By the way, TriFitness is great for kids. Not the morning workouts, but individual and group training. Lessons for my son is how I hooked up with TriFitness. I repeatedly get comments from his coaches that my son moves very well in his sports. That's due to his work with TriFitness.

I've been working with Ron at Tri-Fitness since the fall of 2009. Originally, my fiance (now wife)…read moreand I started going there to get (mostly me) in shape for our wedding. But our wedding was now over a year ago, and I am still a fan and client of his. The workout sessions have always been varied, but I've never left feeling like I didn't get a good workout. Ron and Brian are both very good at providing real world motivations - no "get a six pack fast!" type miracle promises. You give them honest effort, you will get pleasing results. I've never gone more than once or twice a week this whole time, yet I've managed to lose, and keep off 20 lbs, getting stronger the whole time. I would recommend them to anyone serious about getting in better shape, becoming more knowledgeable about personal fitness and training, or just someone looking for new inspiration for their workout.

Awesome place. I play tennis there, use the gym and even pilates which is my membership. Huge…read morefacilities, nice courts, nice gym, nice instructors, nice lessons. Very satisfied. My only qualification to change the rating to 4 stars is that their billing/finance/etc. processing is a nightmare. They charge too much and then you must go back and straighten out the books now and then, that is no fun with such a good place.

The good: 1. Great…read morefacility and amenities 2. Indoor tennis (monopoly) 3. Amazing restaurant with good prices and really good food 4. Sauna and steam room 5. Plenty of exercise machines and programs for work out 6. Last but not the least, despite all the negative reviews I think the staff is amazing and deserves kudos The not so good: 1. For the price, not really worth it when you consider you have to pay additional $$$ for tennis, Pilates etc 2. Multiple people have shared my observation that the yoga program is below average and my partner attended one class and never went back because of an abrasive the yoga instructor. Overall if you have additional $$$ and don't mind paying more than what you are getting (like the Bucktown housing market) then you will certainly enjoy this place. If you're looking for something that makes sense from a value perspective then there are other options.

I love this spot! It's a clean, inviting space, and everyone here is great to work with.

Go to Xsport for that BS. This place is all about functional fitness with actual weights. I've been training with Dennis for a couple of years now, and I can see and feel the results. They also offer a variety of classes throughout the day, so you can choose your own adventure. Check this spot out!

The gym had a 6 week trial on Groupon and so I took advantage of it. Because, why not? I'm starting week 6 and I have seen results. I feel better, I sleep better, I'm winded when walking and talking. I've dropped 8lbs and lost 5% body fat in this short amount of time and it's thanks to this team of athletes. I call them athletes because the workouts are hard but as you train, they become easier. I can with out a doubt say that you will sweat, you will be sore, you will feel like someone laid a ton of bricks on you, but you will be better and stronger at the end. The trainers that I've worked out with are all amazing and passionate about getting you where you want to be. Keep in mind that you don't have to nose dive right into crossfit. There are various classes to build you up to it. Just don't think that for a moment they'll be easy peasy. I learned the hard way how to respect the bands used for exercising. I always saw them as some half done weights. Nope, not anymore. The facility is very clean and parking isn't bad in the mornings. Check them out, even if it's just to look around. They welcome visitors and before I forget. Parents, they have classes for your little ones.

But far worse than the facility is the ownership. Colin, the owner, operates with the ethics of a mob boss and the manners of one too. He: Treats employees poorly, as evidenced by internal emails he mistakenly forwarded to me. Treats customers like marks, relying on selective, self-serving interpretations of vague contract language. Despite advertising flexible terms, Colin enforced hidden fees and used aggressive tactics to corner me into paying $200 just to cancel. His language throughout was consistently disrespectful, defensive, and patronizing. I'll be filing formal complaints and sharing the full documentation of my experience. Colin may have gotten my money, but he won't get my silence. If you value fairness, transparency, and respect- stay far away.
