After his exit, I was never contacted with an offer for continuation of services. I tried contacting ChiTown by email and phone. I never had a response. I had recently made a payment for future services. Half the amount was used and $500 was left on the books. I requested a refund and received no response. Repeated efforts via email and phone calls were ignored. I did not receive a refund to this date and finally received a form letter saying no refund could be given per company policy. Do not use this service. Do not agree to their pre payment policy. ChiTown administration is short-sighted, not client friendly, and not to be trusted to work in your interest or it's own long term well being.

Tommaso is amazing. If you're looking for someone to motivate you, inspire you and help you change…read moreyour body, he's your guy. 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.

I was looking for a personalized holistic training approach including physical workouts and…read morenutritional guidance. 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.

When I first came to Nikholas at Tailored Strength, I was suffering with a lingering knee injury…read morefrom pickleball that six weeks of physical therapy couldn't fully fix. Not only did he help me regain strength and mobility beyond what I achieved in PT, but he also prepared me to conquer my first Hustle Stair Climb--I was not fully mentally ready but the strength and endurance that I've gained ensured that I accomplished a goal I previously thought I couldn't! My brain fog has lifted, my energy is soaring and I continue to hit new milestones in strength and flexibility every week. What sets Nikholas apart is his dedication and genuine care. He doesn't just coach during sessions--he checks in post-workout to make sure I optimize recovery and keeps me accountable to nutrition and protein goals. As a former athlete himself, I appreciate how he uses his real world experience to tailor every session to how my body feels, making progress feel achievable no matter how I'm feeling when it starts and even when he's pushing me way harder than I'd ever push myself. But the magic doesn't stop with Nikholas. Tailored Strength's boutique gym culture is a game-changer. The trainers--Nikholas, Ryan, Joe, and Drew--rotate leading semi-private classes, and their collective expertise creates an environment where every athlete is seen, coached, and motivated. They prioritize proper form and weight selection to ensure that whether we're newbies to strength training or seasoned athletes, we're challenged while crushing our goals safely. This isn't just a gym--it's a community that celebrates progress and champions injury-free training. If you want a trainer (and a gym family) that truly invests in your success, look no further. Nikholas and Tailored Strength have leveled up fitness for me--10/10, would recommend!

Tailored Strength has been a game changer for me. I work 1:1 with Nik who is a quiet genius of his…read morecraft. I love a highly varied workout routine and Nik mixes it up every time in a very thoughtful way. It's never slogging through the same sets-- it's making steady progress on strength areas but coming at them in different, dynamic ways. (If more regimented routine is your thing he does that too of course). He's got a really chill energy that makes my visits to TS such a welcome break in my day. I've been working with him through my first pregnancy (I'm now 7 months) and I'm in my 40s so was nervous about what toll this pregnancy would take on my body. I couldn't be happier with the results. I've had zero back pain, zero leg cramps, really none of the musculoskeletal maladies that people so frequently experience in pregnancy. My weight gain has been right on track and feels healthy not out of control. I think working out has kept my other symptoms to a minimum too (nausea, insomnia, moods, and the whole list of delightful things one looks forward to in pregnancy have all been totally manageable in the great scheme of things). I've kept my conditioning up even as my belly's gotten bigger and heavier, and I have even built strength during this period. Even this late in pregnancy, I am striding and out and about, and am not "waddling." People are telling me all the time how great and healthy I look. I truly credit all of this to the steady work I've been able to do with Nik. I am confident that I am doing everything I can for my baby's health and my health with Nik's help. Some other notes: The gym is a perfect size-- has a great amount of space, lots of different equipment, but is not massive or impersonal. (I've worked out at other gyms that were either too small to comfortably accommodate all clients, or too big for my preferences. Don't want to feel like I'm in a warehouse). I get the sense that the folks at TS meter how many folks are in the space at once so it's never been over subscribed when I've been there-- good hum of activity but good availability of equipment. The community of other trainers in the space is wonderful. They are fun, upbeat, positive, warm, and inclusive. They are invested in fostering a community. Couldn't recommend this business enough for folks who want to invest in their longevity and health.

Best decision I have made was to come to evolution fitness and train with Rob. Highly recommended. If you don't think you can do it, Rob will show you that you can. Workouts are always fun and changing. It's never a dull moment!!

I had some unrelated injuries and he was able to change the workouts to accommodate the affected area.

Unlike what I've experienced with other trainers in the past, Vince is very educated and methodical and truly cares about nutrition alongside building strength. Since my initial orientation with him, he heard my needs, why I needed a personal trainer and what my goals were.

If you are looking for a personal trainer that actual cares about health and nutritional quality, look no further. A hidden gem for sure and I will hope to continue my personal training adventure with him!
