My husband and I took a complimentary Cardio Tennis class on June 8, 2024. Our class was held at…read moreLakeShore Park. We enjoyed our class. The park is located very close to Lake Shore Drive with plenty of paid street parking on a Saturday morning. We booked the class on-line. No instructor information was given. Upon arrival we just sat around looking at each other until the class got started. I think this could of been stream lined much better. I have taken lessons and I do Cardio Tennis with USTA. However my husband is very new to the game. He has never played on a court outside of me trying to teach him the basic once before. I think this would of been helpful information for the instructors to know. I did inform them after our second drill. I think both instructors did a good job after that of modification for him. i.e. using Orange ball. I did enjoy this class. I got a good workout and had a fun time. I liked the warm up and games played. It was a nice way to start out my weekend. Instructors were good at breaking for water. I don't recall a cool down. I would be interested in signing up for additional lessons. It would be helpful to know if during the 4 week lessons if there is a dedicated tennis pro or if the instructors would rotate.

Hasani is one the best instructors I've encountered in years of going to many classes at other gyms. Hasani provides excellent tips and suggestions to ensure we avoid injury and get the most from our class experience. Thanks to Athletic Steel for making great and always new workouts. I will continue to enjoy and refer to others.

I have been working with Hasani for a little over a year now, and he has totally changed the way I…read morethink about fitness. He turns up to every session with a detailed plan that is tailored to my individual needs, and everything we do has a specific purpose in building toward my overall goals. Every session challenges me in a different way, focused on full body movements and building strength in the right way - he always keeps things interesting, from the type of workout and intensity, to the equipment he uses (I'd never used a steel mace or gymnastic rings before!). I have worked with many trainers before, but Hasani has pushed me and challenged me to do things I didn't think I was capable of, which is a testament both to his deep knowledge of fitness and the human body, as well as his genuine passion for helping his clients succeed.

I came here for their first class special which was $15 on MINDBODY. This location is on wells…read morestreet so pretty conveniently located. It's upstairs with an entrance down an alley. The interior is clean and their reforms are in very good shape. They call them megareformers and they're definitely larger than ones I've seen at other studios. Overall the process was easy to use. The interior was very clean, and the two staff members were super nice. There is one bathroom to change, and hangers + cubbies for clothes. The location also provides towels. You need to have grip socks. They provide them for sale but it's pretty steep at $25+/pair so make sure to get them in advance. Online booking via MINDBODY was very easy and they had a lot of availability. The workout was fast paced and I felt like the instructor did a great job of keeping everyone moving with minimum breaks. The playlist was also great and added to the experience. We started with some upper body and arms, and then transitioned to squats and legs. We did pretty much no core in the session I attended. My only complaint was the workout was pretty easy compared to what I was expecting for a studio reformer class. The lower body exercises were all very quad focused, and it felt like the opted for pacing over maintaining tension. Overall solid experience.

Whenever I have a rating that goes against what others' ratings are for a particular business, I…read moremake sure to thoroughly evaluate all aspects of the business and my experiences of it. So yes, I have taken a full and complete look at this business and my experiences with it and simply had a different experience than others. I took lessons here awhile back and have recently been taking lessons at a different business recently. The lessons at My Chicago Golf started out well. Marcus was attentive and was able to make a difference in my game. Things were going well. That is, until, he slept through one of our scheduled appointments. His system sends out numerous reminders about upcoming appointments to customers. Unfortunately, it seems that it only sends them out to his customers, and not to him. We had an appointment scheduled, and I showed up fifteen minutes early. His storefront was locked, and knocking and ringing the doorbell did not yield any type of response. Unfortunately, emailing, texting, and leaving voicemails also did not make a difference either as they all went unanswered. After waiting about forty-five minutes for a sixty minute lesson, he finally opened the door. At that time, however, the customer for the next hour was already waiting at the door! That customer was courteous enough to let me use his scheduled hour, and he rescheduled with Marcus. As the lesson went on, Marcus did apologize for sleeping through it. He said that he overscheduled himself that morning, which caused him to oversleep during a nap. He was definitely drowsy throughout the appointment, and wasn't entirely alert or focused on my swing. What disappointed me the most, however, was that he didn't take responsibility for his mishap. Mistakes happen to everyone. Apologizing is only the first step in taking responsibility for those mistakes. He didn't offer an extra free lesson or a refund, or anything for that matter, to make up for his major mistake. This last part that is why he is losing two stars. If he would have taken responsibility for his failures, I wouldn't be as disappointed with him. I even would have used the final lessons I had in the package I purchased. Instead, I let them go unused because I was so let down by him. Missing an appointment completely without notice and/or an acceptable reason is a huge negative and a large problem. These lessons are not cheap. What's even worse is not taking responsibility for it. Mistakes can be overlooked, if the person making those mistakes owns up to them and takes responsibility. Unfortunately that didn't happen here.

Marcus, the owner, has been a fantastic coach so far. He's very charismatic and patient when…read moreexplaining and demonstrating any feedback. As someone who is just getting started golfing, he has really stressed the fundamentals while still pushing me to get to a point where I have the necessary skills to be able to practice and grow independently. The difference I see after each lesson is measurable and I've always left with things to practice (with videos demonstrating the exercise) so I can continue to see growth. Additionally, his location is a fantastic setup with some of the newest golf simulator technology to really enhance the lesson experience. I did a fair amount of research on different golf instructors and facilities in Chicago and am thrilled I landed on My Chicago Golf. I can't recommend Marcus and My Chicago Golf enough.

I've been here twice using Class Pass and have loved it each time! It is one of my top yoga studios…read morein the Wicker Park/Bucktown area. The staff and instructors are so welcoming and friendly, and they have such a calm and cool vibe. I like that they like to check in/chat with students before/after class, and they are just so nice. I've taken the Wednesday and Thursday evening Zen Vinyasa classes (unheated room), and it's exactly what I was hoping for! It also was populated but not crowded which was great (though I can't speak to other days/times). I had Angel as an instructor both times when they were subbing for someone else and I really enjoyed it! Angel has a simultaneously soothing and strong voice (in the best way for a yoga class) that is great for motivating students during class and I love their inspiring words and playlist that begin and end our classes. The studio itself is cozy yet spacious enough to have multiple rooms for various classes and a lounge area in the center with lots of comfy pillows and a coffee station. I see people hang out there and it makes it feel like a community vibe. I like that there are lots of hooks, hangers, benches, and lockers in the front and back of the studio and in the actual bathrooms/locker rooms so it feels like there's plenty of space to place your things. It's also very clean!

Unfortunately, both times I have come here there has been music playing throughout the entire session. Not ambient instrumentals but whole entires songs with lyrics and bridges and choruses and stuff. And not very good ones. I personally cannot focus on the words of the instructor or my breath and body with tacky lyrics being pumped into my ears. I come to the mat to cultivate focus and presence, and I find it impossible in this space. This place is definitely for someone, but not people who are sensitive to noise or enjoy a more traditional yoga practice. Much love.

If you have the time to spend to rework…read moreyour swing I'm confident he would be able to help with a multiple lesson plan to achieve your goals. My issue is IF your not looking to rework your swing you can walk away very discouraged. I took one lesson recently saying i wanted some coaching on how to improve a certain area of my game but with back issues NOT a full rebuild. I was not able to hit the ball the way he recommended with my back issues and the muscle memory of my current swing. By the end of the lesson i was saying i just can't make that move and he was recommending more lessons to fix. I got zero out of this lesson other than less confidence. I understand it's a business but this was the opposite of what i asked for. In short i walked out pretty discouraged on my swing overall. I played a 15 handicap last year and play about 2/week for reference.
