I've been working out with Brittany for almost two years and she is fabulous. To put it mildly, I had very challenging restrictions around working out that would make any trainer run. Instead, Brittany created a custom program for me that worked within my limitations while creating strength. She found creative workouts and modified them to my circumstances. She consistently helped push me to my limits, which in turn, released my restrictions over time. She tailors each work out to my needs, always encourages me, and inspires me to drive further. The results I've experienced cannot be quantified, and have a significant impact on my life. With her help, my restrictions are mostly gone and I know consider myself just about normal. Throughout each session, she was compassionate. While she always encouraged me to push on, she never made me feel embarrassed or ashamed of what I couldn't do. Instead, we set new goals over time. I'm a different person today, and she is a large part of that. Beyond catering to specific needs, Brittany is knowledgable about health and fitness. She keeps workouts "fun" and varies the circuits every session. She continues education, and applies what she learns. She is very clear in her demonstrations, and is more than happy to explain when I have questions. Plus she practices what she preaches. Spindle Fitness has a team of great people who are also knowledgeable and helpful. I've watched Christine and Leah train their clients and appreciate their style. They all care about their clients, and treat them as friends. Plus, the facilities are very clean, which is a big benefit. read more

Doesn't get any better when it comes to FITNESS - I am runner! However I know I should do other forms of exercise to not only improve my running but help with my overall fitness. I always thought I could just pick out a routine from a magazine and it would work for me. Well I got that all wrong as I injured myself cause the program I picked wasn't designed for me. I heard about Spindle Fitness from a friend and thought I would give it a try. I met with Jeff and explained that I liked to run alot but I also wanted to improve my overall fitness. He explained the SPINDLE program. They design all the workouts for YOU!! They are not generic ! They are designed especially for my needs. Today's workout kicked my butt! I walked into the club as STIFF as a BOARD with no MOBILITY and now I am starting to move. Whats awesome about SPINDLE is the Flexibility. I can visit the club unlimited times to workout and each time there will be a Trainer available to take me thru my workouts. It's not Personal trainer but yet it is Personal training! For the person who likes to work out alone but yet have some guidance and have their programs tailored specific to their needs. You can't beat SPINDLE! And it is very very affordable. Love it Peter read more

Four years ago I had to have surgery for a running injury due to improper training. Over and over again since then I would get into a new workout, only to re-trigger my injury, leaving me sidelined for months. After a long period of laziness, my fiance and I discovered Spindle. We needed to get in shape, but needed to do it the right way. Jeff and Christine set up completely customized workouts for us, accessible from our iPhone/iPad, and track us along the way, adjusting when something isn't working or we can handle something tougher. 12 workouts a month is the perfect amount for us, but for those of you who want a little more, they have a different metabolic workout up on the board everyday that you can do. I love having a workout that's custom for me, but I don't have to think about! I just follow along with whatever is in my app for the day. The client/staff ratio is also small enough that you get plenty of oversight and hands on help with your workouts. Overall, we're very happy with Spindle! read more

My favorite part about Spindle is the team of trainers, they are all so down to earth and made me feel welcomed right away. Each and every trainer made me feel encouraged and always paid attention to ensure I was doing my workout to the best of my ability. The workouts were truly designed for me and what I could handle. The team made sure to communicate to one another what I accomplished and what I needed a little more help with each day. I thought that it was so nice to just come in and work with whoever was there for the day as they always knew what program I was on and what corrections to look for. What lured me in was the ability to work out with a trainer without an appointment. The ease of being able to come in at a time that worked for me was fantastic. The app is also super cool too! It's exciting to be able to check off each workout as you go along. I would definitely recommend Spindle for any type of person, they are just what you need to achieve any type of workout goal. read more

On January 8, 2014, I was taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital in an ambulance. I had injured a disc in my lower spine, and was unable to move - it felt like someone had shot me in the back. For 8 hours, I couldn't even flip myself over; for 36 hours, I couldn't even sit up, let alone get out of my hospital bed. Last week, about 10 months later, after I got out of bed determined to fix my physical condition for good, I managed to do 4 sets of 3 (real) pull ups each - a personal best, and something that I couldn't even have approached before my injury. My core was strong and stable. I weighed 194 lbs when I was injured; I weighed 168 lbs yesterday (I actually got as low as 164 before I started putting more muscle back on). I owe this transformation, and my ability to be a functional member of society, to Leah at Spindle Fitness, who always believed that I could do it. So thanks for the miracle, Leah - and yes, that's a recommendation! read more

I have been working out with Brittany for about a month now. I had never really worked out before, and anything I tried I had really hated. Brittany creates exciting, new workouts for me, always mixing it up and I am enjoying every session with her. She provides clear demonstrations of each workout, and is glad to answer questions that I have. She always makes me feel good about my progress so far, never embarrassed about what I can't do yet. Earlier this year, I tore my ACL and have been in physical therapy for most of the year following surgery. After I "graduated" from PT, Brittany helped me to transition from PT to "real" workouts. She worked with my physical therapist to understand my injury, surgery and physical therapy progress. She has been invaluable in helping me continue to strengthen my surgical leg and overall body strength. It is clear that physical fitness is her passion - both for herself and for her clients. read more

I am so glad I have finally found a gym that fits all my needs! It is a smaller, more private gym that creates a really comfortable environment for me to workout in. Spindle provides affordable personable training (which I do) or tailors specific workouts for you do to on your own while a trainer is around to oversee and answer any questions. I am not the most motivated person when it comes to exercising so Brittany has been a big help. I love the workouts she creates for me and the way she makes me push myself (well sometimes i hate that part), but she keeps me working hard! I have been training with Brittany for almost 2 years and left my old gym in order to continue training with her at Spindle. Spindle is for sure worth it! read more

I've worked with many PT's over the years and Brittany is by far the best I've ever had kick my butt! Aside from being cool, Brittany brings a wealth of experience, knowledge (she's wickedly intelligent) and professionalism to every workout. i've been plagued by orthopedic sports injuries most of my life, and recently I considered hip replacement due to the massive degenerative arthritic pain I was in, however, after 4 weeks of non-weight bearing exercises (except for my 220 lbs. body weight) I can honestly say I no longer need hip replacement and am pain free! Very happy for Brittany and the rest of her awesome Spindle Fitness team. I wish them all the best with their new business endeavor! Thank you Brittany... read more

Yes this really is as good as it gets! I have known Christine for over 3 years now. What a wonderful trainer! You will love her until you hate her then you will love her again. That is the test of a really great trainer! She always mixes things up and keeps the pace going. She call attention to certain muscle groups I didn't even knew I had. I would be doing a lot better if I just listened to her! LOL! She makes me feel like I am the most important person for that hour, We laugh and then at times I can't talk at all. Because I'M DYING!! In a good way! If you looking for a wonderful group of people to kick your butt and want to support a promising new business you need to check these place out!! Seriously! read more

I have been working out with brittany for over a year and I highly recommend spindle. The staff views each client individually and tailors one's program accordingly. Brittany is very good at evaluating what one really needs from a training standpoint; taking into consideration age, condition, psyche, etc. I am 52, but have had my wife and teenage daughters work with brittany and she has been great - but she actually suggested that one of my daughters try working out with one of her colleagues to potentially see if there was a better solution given my daughter's needs. My point being that spindle looks out for what is best for the client. I very much recommend. read more

Soooo good. I've been struggling to get on track for over a year and figure out what my routine is missing. It's been missing Spindle. The programming is intentional and challenging without being gimmicky. It's all basic stuff. Leah had my goals in mind while planning for me and in my first month I dropped 10 lbs of pure fat. I'm trying to trim fat but I'm trying to get stronger, too, and I know that's happening. It's a smaller facility, which I count as an absolute plus. The staff all know who I am when I walk in and remember things about me. Great model! You've got a believer! Can't wait to see where I am in a few more months. read more

Spindle is a hidden gem! I have been going to Spindle for a few months and it's been a great fit with my lifestyle. Having worked with trainers at typical gyms in the past, I found it difficult to always make the appointments, schedule, show up on time and remember to reschedule. Spindle is different! You can show up whenever you want, no scheduling required and you always have an expert trainer available to guide you through your custom built program. The people are awesome and the other Spindle members make it feel like you know everyone. I actually look forward to going! read more

I LOVE this place! I waited to write something until I could go on more than just a first impression. I've been there for a few months now, working three times a week with Christine, who is so knowledgeable about not only exercise, but how to out-maneuver my many spine challenges to get past it and build a strong core that can compensate for the deficits. She also knows a lot about nutrition, and is inspiring to work with. I'm feeling stronger and more confident as a result, and the main goal I had in the first place...elimination of pain, is actually starting to occur! read more

I have been going to Spindle for over a year now and I couldn't be happier. Much more personal attention than in a large gym - everybody knows your name and it helps to keep you accountable. Trainers are very knowledgeable and are interested in your total fitness - strength, flexibility, nutrition. I have been continually challenged and thrilled with my progress so far. The owners are a really motivated group and are genuinely interested in their clients. A fantastic addition to the neighborhood! read more

This was seriously the best catalyst to getting back on track for my health. It was definitely a challenge to begin with but all the trainers I worked with, whether that was Jeff, Christine, Kelly, Leah, and Ray - they were all completely encouraging and amazing. I ended up finding this place by winning a raffle and it was the best thing ever. Thanks you guys! read more

This fitness center is truly a gem. The trainers make the experience individualized each time you workout. The fitness planners re-evaluate your progress each month, constantly looking for ways to maximize your experience. I would highly recommend Spindle to anyone looking to try a different approach to fitness in a group setting. read more

What a great individualized approach to fitness! A wonderful addition to this neighborhood, this sunny open space with a passionate staff creates a motivating environment to get in shape and stay that way. No crowded gyms and waiting for equipment. Happy to see this place open! read more

Great place to train! Love the staff, especially Brittany. Brittany has been great about helping me get my strength back after pregnancy. I highly recommend the place and Brittany. read more
