I've been working out/consulting with Live Better, more specifically, Jason for about 8 months now. Both the experience and results have been fantastic! I am a former college athlete and have always thought I was in "good shape" so at first I was a little skeptical of the additional value I would receive from Jason. Not only has he delivered on all of his promises, but the work we do has changed my lifestyle. He worked with me to outline fitness/nutritional goals, and then we work together 2-3 times per week. On top of training and diet, he also provides advice and consultation relevant to health and wellness. The progress I have made is impressive and I am now physically and mentally in the best place I've ever been (that includes 4 years of having unlimited access to full time trainers and dietitians). I feel the best I ever have. The fitness/nutrition world is super confusing and there are TONS of services available to help you reach your goals. I've tried a number of them and from all of my experience, I believe it all really comes down to making more good decisions vs. bad with your diet, pushing yourself with a variety of workouts, and focusing on incremental improvements. What I like about Jason and Live Better is that they don't over promise, they help create a realistic roadmap custom for you/your goals, and they push you complete what you've committed to. It's worth every $$$. There is no way I could be in as good of shape as I am now, and feel as good as I do on a daily basis without Jason and Live Better. An additional benefit has been the exposure and invitations he has provided me such as his Exposure series on the beach this summer, as well as Nike training. The Nike training has been unreal and an all around great experience. At one event I met Bo Jackson. I recommend Jason and Live Better to anyone that asks me about fitness or nutrition and everyone I have referred to them has loved the experience. I can't say enough nice things about the service and I am looking forward to all of the service additions they are adding in the coming months! read more

I started training with Jason in May and I have seen a huge improvement with my overall strength and health. Before training with Jason I could barely do a squat or a push up and I can now do several reps. Jason is great at taking your goals and making them a reality (I can almost do a pull up now)! I highly recommend training with Jason as he makes each work out unique and actually fun. No two workouts have been alike and as someone who never worked out before May of this year, I am regularly training with Jason and even feel encouraged to work out on my own thanks to him. Jason has also helped me with my nutrition and meal planning which has been super helpful. I am able to make more educated decisions while out to dinner and have had so much more energy since working with Jason. I also went to Jason and Bret's Live Better Beach workout this summer and it was an amazing experience from beginning to end. Each segment of the workout brought new challenges which I was able to get through with the encouragement of Jason and Bret. Working out with friends on the beach is ALWAYS a great way to start a Saturday in the summer! I can't wait for next summer to do more beach workouts but I look forward to whatever they may have in store for the winter. read more

Jason and the Live Better crew are awesome! Our company, MoBell Muscle, have been working with Jason to test our patent-pending gear all over Chicago's beaches. We originally got connected to him after seeing him and Live Better hosting beach group-work-outs that looked awesome. And all for charity! For our company, he has been extremely helpful with his wide range of knowledge of various fitness disciplines (strength, speed, flexibility, yoga, etc.). He is full of creative ideas for different exercises that could be preformed with our gear. What could make a better trainer? You would never get stuck to a boring routine and always be conducting something new. A huge perk of him testing our gear is I go home with a new piece of knowledge about how to live healthier. I don't think there has been a single time where we meet that I didn't learn something new and motivated to try it. Lastly, Jason is just a great guy. Super personable, caring and a go-out-of-his-way kinda guy. Can't think of someone I would recommend more. read more

I first met Bret & Jason at one of their Exposure Beach work outs at Ohio Street beach in Chicago, and I'm so upset I found them at the tail end of these summer workouts. The beach work out was absolutely amazing, fun, inspiring, and life changing! I was extremely sore, but I saw immediate results... literally! These two guys are extremely nice, motivating, and knowledgeable with fitness and health. I'm so glad to have met them, and now that they've launched LiveBetter Co I'm so excited to see what the future has in store for them. I have the same passions, and beliefs as they do so it's very nice to see trainers who are 100% committed to a healthy lifestyle. It's hard to come by trainers who live the lifestyle and will help you look good, and feel good. I would highly recommend anyone to train with Bret or Jason. read more

As a former collegiate athlete, I've experienced several training and nutrition programs. These gentlemen are high energy, passionate and knowledgeable. As my former training partner while playing collegiate baseball, I experienced first hand training with Bret and the enthusiasm he brings to each session. After training with Bret I went on to compete in every game my junior and senior season without missing due to injury. Bret and Jason are dependable and their philosophy behind fitness is reachable if you stay committed. Training with live better will improve your confidence and lead you to the results you're looking for. read more

In the short time I've known Jason, I've been nothing but impressed - both by his extremely positive attitude and his unrelenting desire to help others achieve their health and fitness goals. When he found out we were developing new fitness products right here in Chicago, Jason was quick to offer his time to conduct testing and provide feedback. He puts others before himself - a winning quality for a trainer/coach/successful entrepreneur. I strongly recommend Jason and the Live Better crew to anyone looking for help on his or her health and wellness journey and will continue to be a strong advocate! read more

A++ I work out with both Bret & Jason at Nike events, and I would definitely highly recommend them!! Each session is different and always hits the perfect level of intensity. I love to be pushed past my comfort level, and it's hard to do on my own. Bret's positive attitude is contagious, and they are both extremely knowledgeable and encouraging. I have become noticeably more toned in my arms and have improved my agility as well as overall strength. Overall - awesome guys and I'm excited to keep working with them to see how much better I can get. read more

I have had an amazing experience working with Live Better. The work out plan Bret made for me was crafted to match my day-to-day schedule and put me on track to reach set fitness goals. Bret & Jason have a solid grasp on how to work with you to create training plans for any lifestyle. Their passion for fitness/wellness is infectious and made me more committed to my own health than I'd ever been before. I recommend them to everyone from trained athletes to those who are newly committed to making fitness a part of their lives. read more

These guys are great! So many trainers I have worked with in the past seem to just go through the motions, but Bret and Jason genuinely thrive on the progression and success of their clients. They were able to identify my strengths and weaknesses in both the gym AND the kitchen ;). They know what it takes to get you to the fitness level you'd like to be; and will provide you with the tools and knowledge to make it happen. I highly recommend you contact them if you are serious about making a lifestyle change! #LiveBetter read more

I workout with Jason, one of the trainers at Live Better LLC. He is great! At the start, he does a fantastic job understanding your fitness level and goals. There has never been a workout where I leave feeling like I could have been pushed harder. Each workout is different- which is something I like. He makes sure to keep things interesting (...hard to do at 5am)! He pushes me to be a better, healthier version of myself. I highly recommend the guys at Live Better, LLC!! read more

Phenomenal experience working out at events with Bret! He is so personable and really knows what he's doing. I have absolutely loved training with him and most importantly feel myself getting stronger. Others have noticed I've become a better athlete, and I'm down 4 lbs to 124. I am a huge fan of the variety (TRX, kettle bell, sprints, sprint drills, resistance bands, medicine balls, etc.) and look forward to our next session!! Highly recommend to anyone in the city! read more

Could not have asked for a better workout at Exposure this summer. From experience, it can be a little intimidating going to a new workout without knowing what it will be like, but Jason and Bret are awesome. They push you but also offer modified positions/poses if something is outside of your comfort or skill level. The mentality is definitely "work as hard as you can at the perfect level for you." Both of them are great and I had so much fun getting my butt kicked. read more

Bret and Jason really set the bar high for trainers. I had the opportunity to exercise with Bret in college, and he was able to bring fresh ideas to our workout routines. His knowledge has only grown in the years since we first met. From yoga to intense training sessions to diet and heath, Bret and Jason bring world class expertise and energy to the day-to-day fitness grind. I would highly recommend both Bret and Jason to anyone looking for top notch training. read more

I went to a Live Better training session on the beach, and overall it was a fun, motivating experience. Normally, I don't integrate social elements with my workouts, but I'll be making future exceptions for these trainers (Bret Gornik and Jason Loebig). After months of being out of the gym, Bret and Jason had me motivated with others to get back into shape. The workout was fun, effective, and I left wanting more. Good stuff. read more

I always had an interest in working out, getting fit and shedding a few pounds but was honestly intimidated by the entire process (particularly the gym) and working with a personal trainer. All that changed when I met Bret. He provided me with a level of confidence that helped me get over my fears and achieve my goals. I learned a great deal about nutrition, my body and proper work out techniques. All around a great experience! read more

I participated in a few group workout sessions with Jason and Bret this past summer. Not only did they deliver a great workout, but they were great motivators as well! You can just tell that they really care about their clients, and are also extremely knowledgable about health and fitness. I would recommend them to anyone at all that is trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle! Looking forward to the next workout with them! read more

These guys have so much passion and their positive "can-do" attitudes are contagious. They can help with total wellness including fitness, nutrition, and mental training. Seeing them and their dedication to wellness is inspiring. You can tell they care about their clients and want to see them reach their goals. You won't regret working with these guys ! (Though you may be sore) read more

Huge fan of the live better crew. Their summer workout series Exposure provided a fun, challenging workout and was also a great place to meet people. Jason is also very knowledgable about nutrition and general wellness. He's a great role model and coach for living well. Highly recommend reaching out if you're looking to take your fitness and health to the next level. read more

Bret is the most enthusiastic, engaged, organized fitness professional I have ever met! I was so happy with his communication before our session and his encouragement throughout our session. He provides unique exercises that help you to accomplish your personal goals. I would definitely suggest "Live Better" to people of all levels and physical abilities! read more
