Love Momentum! Been working out here since January. The coaches and the workouts are top notch. They promote working out at your own level/speed and as a beginner that has helped and encouraged me to create goals for myself. read more

This has been my favorite workout for the past four years. I love the fact that they are constantly improving their facility with new workouts, fun challenges, and social events. read more

This gym is absolutely not a safe or respectful environment--particularly for women. A male staff member Chris Yates has repeatedly crossed boundaries with female members in ways that are deeply inappropriate and predatory. His behavior is not isolated or accidental; it reflects a troubling pattern that makes the space feel unsafe and uncomfortable. Even more disturbing is the gym's response: management has been informed and has taken no meaningful action. Instead of protecting its members, the leadership appears more interested in protecting its own image. This is not only negligent but sends a clear message that the safety and well-being of members--especially women--are not a priority. If you're considering joining this gym, I strongly urge you to look elsewhere. There are many fitness centers that take member safety seriously and foster an atmosphere of respect and accountability. This is not one of them. Until real changes are made and accountability is enforced, I cannot recommend this gym to anyone. Sad they have to ask yelp to take down the review instead of letting people be aware of how certain employees are. Still no action. read more

Momentum has a great atmosphere with coaches that motivate you. Great vibes and music, classes are fun !! You will definitely see results if you're consistent. read more

Finding MOMENTUM OP has been such a win for me. I felt so welcomed and comfortable from the moment I walked through the doors. No pressure, just great energy. The classes are tough in a way that makes you feel stronger, not intimidated, and working out with everyone there makes it fly by. Check it out! read more

I'm drenched in sweat after every class!!! I really enjoy the coaches and classes offered

My appeal is to the older folks. Do not fear this place. You will experience expert coaching but you are in total control of your work out pace and intensity. It is a totally judgement-free zone. Your only competition is yourself. You will experience amazing health benefits. My personal unexpected result was a SIXTY point reduction in my cholesterol placing me well into normal range allowing me to avoid statins. The treadmills are state of the art and are friendly to aging joints. So all you Boomers out there, do not waste another moment! Get up and get moving with Momentum! read more

The coaches and members are positive, inclusive, and welcoming. I love and look forward to my workouts! read more

Great, positive environment. Love the combo. It's always a workout your body will thank you for. Going to the gym can be intimidating for some but thankfully the members and crew at Momentum OP are always friendly and encouraging. read more

Momentum offers just what I need. Motivational environment, exceptional trainers, classes that cover all the basses from cardio, to strength and stretching, tailored to my needs. I have several health challenges which required me to stop training at a colorful competitor, but the trainers at Momentum tailored a program that gives me a comprehensive workout without missing a beat or feeling left behind. An added plus is the atmosphere fostered by Jenny and Megan of community not competition with training mates. Found my place! read more

Momentum Oak Park is one of the best fitness studios because . It offers a variety of workouts along with highly trained instructors. They are motivating, challenging, and lots of fun ! read more

This studio is a great combination of challenging classes that you can do at your own level and a friendly atmosphere.

Run, do not walk to Momentum OP! Formerly Stride. Here's what I'm loving about this gem in Oak Park; community, high energy, knowledgeable and caring coaches who truly want you to succeed in your fitness goals. Did I mention the music? It's a dance party, perhaps a different kind, 'cause we are slaying it on the treadmill and with the strength training exercises. read more

Momentum OP - Cardio Classes Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

I had SO much fun at Stride! I would NOT consider myself a runner, but I do a variety of workouts and like to throw some sprints in every once in a while. The instructor on the day I went had a bomb playlist and brought tons of energy. The workout itself was a combo of sprints, rest walks, and some strength training off the treadmill. I will be back! read more

I really enjoy going to Stride. The coaches are so motivating and personable! (They make you feel so welcome and they literally know your face and remember your name right away). I typically go to the combo class which is a mix of treadmill and free weights or the strength class which is solely free weights. The jam selections are all on it and make me want to get a good workout in read more

I miss STRIDE Oak Park...... SO MUCH!!!! The closest STRIDE to me now is at ~30 miles away and that makes me so sad...... so I had to come on here and give STRIDE Oak Park their flowers. I became a member when they first opened in 2021 and I, unfortunately, had to leave a few months ago since I was moving back home to California. What I love and miss the most about STRIDE is their sense of community. The members are friendly. The coaches and staff know you by name. They acknowledge if you've been coming consistently and they genuinely check in if they haven't seen you in a while. There was even a time when I didn't make it in for a few months but when I came back, it was as if I never left. That means a lot and you really can't say that for all gyms. From someone who moved halfway across the country away from all of my friends and family, thank you for making Oak Park feel a little more like home. It's the little things that matter. Aside from daily classes, STRIDE always has something going on. From monthly challenges to outdoor runs with coaches and from hangouts to member appreciation events, you'll never be bored and you'll never lose sight of your fitness goals. read more

Everyone says working out gives you endorphins and you feel great after you complete a trip to the gym. I must have missed that gene... I HATE working out. That said, joining Stride in late July was the first time I've ever stuck to a workout routine this long, and have actively sought to increase my number of weekly classes- I'll be up to 5x/week soon. I attribute this to the incredible coaches, good offering of class times, variety and quality of workouts, and the fact that everyone there knows my name. They care about their members and it shows. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Just wanted to post updated review a year later, after 14 months of continuous membership at the gym now known as Momentum Oak Park. This great workout studio went through an amicable split from the national Stride brand and is now an independent business called Momentum OP. I have great admiration for the way the local team navigated the split, making it as easy as possible for all the members to transition. Billing rolled over smoothly, the class schedule remains the same, and the optional Stride heart rate monitors we'd purchased still work for those of us who like to use them in class. Same fantastic instructors, format, & class offerings, but (as I understand it) now with more flexibility for the coaches to incorporate member feedback in customizing the classes. I continue to appreciate the effective workouts, the inspirational coaches & staff, the accountability, and the fun mix of music & people. Go Team Momentum! read more

Great facility and staff, perfect mix of endurance and strength training. Highly recommend trying a class no matter what your goals are!

I love the encouraging instructors and other "athletes" in the classes. Most inclusive exercise community I've been a part of. My favorite is seeing all the parents and their teenage or even adult children coming in to sweat together (hoping some day my toddlers will be willing to do this with me...it'll be a while). read more

I received a complimentary class to Stride in Oak Park. After, one class I ended up signing up for more classes. Stride is a premium treadmill studio that empowers their clients to achieve goals. I had the pleasure of taking two classes with Coach Jennifer. She will give you the work out of your life. She pushes you to achieve your mental and physical goals. The whole team is friendly and professional. If there is anything you need. They are there to help you. Good music playlist that will pump you up. A small room with weights and mats. Each class is different to fit your work out goals. Small studio but it carries power. Each class that I attended was fun and gave me the uplift that I needed. read more

See all

This is a truly great fitness community. The instructors and staff know you by name and genuinely care about your success. I've lost weight, gained muscle, and most importantly - grown stronger! The combo classes provide an awesome mix of cardio and strength training! My husband, friends, and I all love Momentum Oak Park! read more

I hate running. I LOVE STRIDE! The Oak Park coaches are the best at helping you achieve your goals and then some. I've come in at different fitness levels and each workout is customized to where I am at so that I can have the best results for my time. I'm busy! Only at Stride can I can keep my whole body, spirit, & should healthy by going to a 50 minute class! Yes, better results than OTF! And it's also a whole community that goes on hikes & does 5ks together! There was even a "prom party" themed workout. See you at the station next to me. read more

Amazing time & worth every sweat. Clean & also very friendly people I highly recommend this place read more

Momentum OP - Cardio Classes Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

I've never been a runner but I absolutely love Stride Oak Park and look forward to going as much as I can. I leave feeling so energized. The staff is amazing and make you feel so comfortable. read more

I tried this place using Classpass a few months ago and loved it immediately! Everyone made me feel welcomed and has awesome energy. Classes are 55 minutes, which include intervals of high to low speeds on the treadmill with dumbell strength work, then a 5 minute stretch at the end. I get a really good sweat every time. You can take it at your own pace, which I like if I'm not feeling 100%. I would absolutely recommend Stride whether you're a seasoned runner or just getting into working out. I LOVE all their playlists, all the trainers and work outs. I especially love Jenny's Tuesday afternoon classes. She chooses the best strength moves, has a killer throwback playlist, brings high energy to her workouts and has killer abs!! Can't wait for me class!! read more

Love the workouts at MomentumOP! I really feel like I am getting stronger and faster. The coaches are all wonderful, the music is great and I really appreciate their focus on growing the community. I also appreciate all of the class time options. read more

This gym and community are the best! The coaches are excellent; the workouts are challenging and the sense of belonging they create for all members is one-of-a-kind. 10/10! read more

After I retired a few months ago, I began to explore my options for reclaiming my fitness after years of work stress. I found Momentum OP (then operating as STRIDE Fitness). I love everything about this club. The coaches are great motivators; the front desk staff is helpful; the music keeps me moving. I have tried other aerobic fitness clubs, but none of them have the Momentum vibes. I feel good about myself during and (especially) after every workout. I feel challenged to push myself, but also comfortable going at my own pace. It makes me happy to see people at all fitness levels working out together. read more

I hate the Gym but I LOVE Stride Fitness Oak Park. I fell in love with this place on my first visit, which was FREE!

They are encouraging and motivating. This is not an intimidating gym. The location is clean and located in the heart of Oak Park. The other customers are nice and welcoming as well it feels like a fitness community. I'm happy I joined! read more

I love Momentum. The combo class is a great mix of strength and cardio fitness. The coaches make it challenging, yet fun. And I always feel mentally and physically better after a workout. I definitely recommend for all ages and types of athleticism. read more

Great, upbeat fitness program. I'm new to Oak Park and am hooked on stride after one workout! I am usually an outdoor runner but now that I don't live along the lake I found it harder to get out and work out. With stride I have way more motivation. And it's a better workout because not only do you run but you work on muscle toning also. read more
