I needed to do something but the thought of going to a regular gym that's always at capacity was unappealing. Transform is the answer. One-on-one training sessions with a trainer. No one else is in the studio during your scheduled time. My trainer (Gerri) is incredible. Her instructions are clear. She watches me like a hawk and corrects my movements. You have no idea how much I need this. If you're unable to do a specific exercise, she will find a different one that you're able to accomplish that work the same muscles. Sessions are tailored to you. I highly recommend this place!

I looked into several personal trainers in the neighborhood before settling on Transform. The…read morethings that stood out to me were: 1. The trainers I interacted with all had over a decade of experience 2. It is truly 1 on 1 personal training vs group training classes 3. The communication is excellent 4. It is reasonably priced I had been strength training on my own for half a year and my goal coming in was to learn the correct form for exercises, and ask questions about various joint / mobility pain I was having while working out. I had never worked with a personal trainer before, and was a bit intimidated, but Dave was really friendly on my initial call with him and not salesy at all. I was assigned to Eric-Todd and had a great experience. I learned how to do workouts that I was afraid to do on my own before, and was introduced to a wide variety of exercises, including using the cable machine, leg exercises using my own body weight, kettlebell, medicine ball, TRX, etc. Over the course of a month, we never repeated a single exercise! I was really impressed with how much were were able to get through in just 30 minutes, twice a week. Each session, I'd do warms up and cool downs on my own, and the 30 minutes were action packed with exercises. It was actually pretty nice not having to think about weights, being handed certain pieces of equipment, and being told exactly what to do. Overall, it's been an amazing first personal training experience. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a personal trainer in the neighborhood, especially beginners or those looking to learn a variety of exercises. Thanks Eric-Todd!

Kosta and Jeremy are such a great team! I was introduced to CFP through a friend on Facebook that…read morehad great success with their program. I got in touch with Kosta and he offered me a chance to visit the facility with my friend. Unfortunately I hurt my foot and couldn't attend the class for a few months. Luckily Kosta reached out to me before their 4 week Thanksgiving program started at the end of 2016. I admit that I was nervous about starting such an intense program but I'm so happy that I did! It was an absolute great experience! The skills that I learned through those short four weeks have absolutely changed my mindset about living a healthier lifestyle. In the beginning of any fitness journey you tend to focus on the number on the scale but Kosta taught us to look beyond that so we can make small weekly changes. I genuinely rarely like training with a trainer but at CFP they don't consider themselves trainer but as coaches. I love the comradery that you end up having with the individuals in your class. The workouts are extremely tough but they teach you that you can do so much more then you could imagine. I would highly recommend checking out CFP at least once!

Regina and Trevor changed everything for me. Not exaggerating. I used to be 260lbs 10 years ago,…read moreand since then have lost weight, but had been up and down from 2014-17 ranging from 180-205lbs. I could not beat this plateau. I was starving myself and only doing cardio. I would be great for 4 days, and then binge and have to start all over. I initially went to Treads Gym because of their great yelp reviews and they were a block away (so I would have no excuse not to make it to the gym). They did an initial consultation for an hour where they took me through a workout and then at the end kept asking how I felt, and made sure I was comfortable. They didn't force me to sign up, and that is the exact reason why I went with them. 12 months later of working out with them twice a week, and the results speak for themselves (see attached picture). I went from Jan 2018 at 190lbs 28% body fat, to Jan 2019, 170lbs 22% body fat. These two helped me realize that lifting weights will not bulk you up, but slim you down in spots you didn't even know existed. Working out with them, reinvigorates me every week to keep going. You have to make sure your nutrition is on point and you are consistent, and these two will help monitor that for you. Reg & Trev have become very good friends of mine, and I truly owe them for my new perspective on working out. Thank you both, and if you are a potential client reading this, get your ass to Treads gym. If you have ever heard of YOLO, make sure your one life you live involves this gym and the trainers!

My sister fell in love with this place a couple of months ago and so, when I visited her in…read moreChicago, I knew that I had to check it out. We've both been on an exercise kick recently and she ensured me that Sproing was an excellent workout. During the first of my two workouts of the weekend, I found myself trying to adjust to the machine. It's a cross between a treadmill and a mattress. While the floor of the machine took a little getting used to, I was also facing backwards and strapped in, which made the whole thing a little odd at first. We sprinted, worked our core, did pushups, and used weights. It was a good, high impact workout that centered around interval training. Once I had a feel for the place, my second workout was even better. Cullen was an awesome instructor and he really kept us motivated, encouraging us to push ourselves until the last second. We could see if we were heeding to his advice by watching the big screens in the studio that showed us in real time how we were doing, based on our heart rate monitors. I got a great sweat in over that weekend thanks to the instructors and I found the desk staff to be very welcoming and helpful. The space is clean and new, the bathrooms are spotless and very "homey", and the equipment is sanitized regularly. This is a unique workout for sure and it can be tailored to your fitness level. Try it out if you have time.

Filled with enthusiasm and energy, the sproing fitness instructor definitely motivated each and every one of us to work hard and push ourselves to get the most out of the workout. A heart rate monitor will be attached to an elastic band that you strap around your waist. There is a screen that shows how each individual's % max heart rate which essentially shows how hard you're working out. You are attached to the sproing machine with a Velcro strap that you wrap around your waist and you do exercises on a soft, cushioned surface. The idea of sproing is to do running based high intensity interval training (HIIT) - 20 seconds of work intervals with 10 seconds of rest intervals. Each class is 45 minutes where it's 30 minutes of HIIT. At the end of the class, you get emailed a summary of your workout results which shows how many calories you burned. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Sure, it may feel like your body will give up on you and you'll feel really sore after..but it hurts so good. With an incredible staff + intense but fun workout, I highly, highly recommend sproing fitness!
