People are there for individualized expert instruction of the highest caliber, not to see or be seen. PF does not disappoint. It is a great facility.

The owners of PF are both deeply experienced personal trainers who are hands-on in the success of every member of the club. Everyone who trains at PF is serious about improving their health and fitness. If you are looking for a no-nonsense place to pursue your fitness journey, I highly recommend Phenomenal Fitness!

This place rocks. And not in a "good enough for suburbia" kind of way, in a "would thrive in…read moredowntown Chicago" kind of way. The workouts are hard, very well designed, and mentally stimulating/fun. I found the studio on ClassPass and checked it out when my Shred415 classes had been used up for the month (on CP you can only go to three classes per studio per month). I have now been to three classes and they have all been excellent and very different. The classes usually involve some kind of circuit with both strength and cardio, and the place has an enormous variety of equipment so everything gets switched up. In addition to regular weights, kettlebells, bands, and lifting equipment, they also have: - Jacobs ladder - Woodway manual treadmill - Manual mode treadmill with a football pad - Ropes - Tires - Ab rollers - Bosus - TRX - Rings - Inflatable pads for instability exercises - Those terrible goddamn sleds you have to push around - Elliptical - Regular treads - Bikes - Tons of other stuff I haven't used in class yet The other thing I like about these classes is that they seem to be influenced by lots of different kinds of fitness, which means there is a lot more variety in the classes. For example, the other day we did a circuit using the ropes, jacobs ladder, and other "hard core" type movements, but then the end of the class involved a lot of Jane Fonda type leg work. In another class I took, it was 100% strength and weight training, which is a cool and unusual option in group fitness. The actual location is in a sort of half storefront, half garage location, with green turf and a track for the sleds. It's not fancy but is spacious and has a "playground" type feel. They also have a hodge podge of cheesy inspirational quotes all over the walls, which makes the place feel local. They also make sure to know and remember your name - both the friendly front desk guy and the trainers. I'm actually considering buying more classes here in addition to ClassPass because I like the workouts and the trainers so much that I want to go more than the 3X/month through ClassPass. I've been to most kinds of fitness classes - Orange Theory, SoulCycle, Flywheel, Barry's Bootcamp/Shred415, barre, pilates, yoga, CrossFit, etc., so when I say that this is a great class, I mean this is a great class by anyone's standards. Great find!

They are mostly 1 hour classes that are challenging, but doable and sometimes are more cardio, than weights, or vice versa. They really change it up and the trainers are really nice guys that are brothers (Mike is the owner, Matt is his brother). And, on Mondays Christy is the trainer - I like the variety that she offers, too. Classes range from 1 to maybe 10 people. You can pay as you go, or be more economical and pay per month and go as many times as you want. The classes go by quickly and I always feel like I got a great work out after. I highly recommend!

Tommaso setup a 12 week program for me around these needs and I was very happy with the process and results and I then signed up for a second 12 week engagement (currently happening at the time of this review). Everything is virtual which allows a lot of freedom and the ability to maintain our workout schedule when I'm traveling by bringing a minimal amount of gear. I was initially skeptical of a virtual approach but after speaking with his prior clients and experiencing it for myself it has proved great - don't let this hold you back. Workouts are tailored to my level and abilities and address aches and pains when they arise. The nutritional coaching has been key for me as we review my weekly eating habits and tweak things slowly over time to eliminate unhealthy cravings with healthy substitutions and mental awareness of eating decisions. I wanted a realistic all around approach to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I have done my share of extreme diets and workout regimens which work for a while but aren't sustainable. Tommaso is focused on realistic long term strategies that will work long into the future and that is what I'm getting. I highly recommend working with Tommaso to tailor a program for you and achieve your specific goals.

He is excellent at designing workouts and he has so much positive energy that it rubs off on you. I have always been active, but losing my job, then being on lockdown with a toddler threw me off my game. The gyms were closed, the weather was nasty, and I just couldn't motivate myself to do workouts at home. I gained weight and felt sluggish. I was not myself. That's when I found Tommaso and helped me turn things around. At first, I was not excited about the concept of a virtual trainer. I didn't think it would be much better than a workout video. Boy was I wrong! I signed up for the assessment and decided to have an open mind. After that first session I was really encouraged. I was amazed at how well Tommaso could identify what was going on with my body all through my iPad screen. For example, he could tell that my right side was weaker and knew that I had an old injury on that side without me telling him. He also radiated positivity and talked about mind and body, not just about training or losing weight. I took the plunge and signed up to work with him for 3 months minimum. Now 5 months later, I'm so happy I made that decision. He has helped me transform my body and feel good again. If you're thinking about working with him, just do it! You won't be sorry.

He always finds the right balance of exercises to help me build strength without exhausting my system. His sessions include thoughtful combinations of cardio and weights that you wouldn't typically see in standard crossfit training.
