If you're reading this, you're probably frustrated with your current routine or trainer and looking…read morefor something new, exciting but most importantly, EFFECTIVE. 7 weeks ago, I was in the same place. After 11 months of pushing myself with the help of numerous trainers and advice, I gave Brian a try. Most of the trainers I had worked with were terrific in the weight room but knew "just enough" about nutrition. Brian is an expert in both. After months of being stuck in the same place, Brian took me to the next level. I lost 16lbs and 3% Body Fat during those 7 weeks. Was it easy?? HECK NO, but every day was a challenge and Brian was right there with me to keep me on track. Thank you, Brian, let's keep going!

I have worked out my entire life and tried at various times different trainers (privately, local…read moregyms, equinox etc.) None have worked out or I felt like gave me an edge up in my overall fitness pushing me to another level. Brian has hands-down given me that edge and provided me with a foundation for longevity, mobility, strength and conditioning. I came to him after my wife gave birth (I had gained 15-20 pounds when my wife was pregnant). I not only was out of shape, but also experiencing various pain in my hips and legs from my workouts (lack of stability strength on top of lots of running). I lost 25-30 pounds with Brian, but not only that - I now am in a much better position with my flexibility, strength and conditioning for extending my long-term health and fitness. This comes from a focus not only on workouts, but also on nutrition. Brian helps to shape workouts to your preference and helps to focus in on what is working and what is not with your eating habits. Losing weight becomes very easy - frankly, I now work to keep weight on! Finally, Brian is very knowledgeable and overall a great guy. He is easy to work with and accommodating to clients - especially those with demanding jobs (e.g. law, finance, etc.) Would highly recommend Brian!!

Each Dr and their entire staff are AMAZING!!! My boyfriend and I went for a free consultation…read morebecause he had constant head pressure, dryness in his ears and liquid coming out of both ears (yuck)! After going to multiple "specialists" in the medical industry for 2 YEARS, we had all but given up. At our FIRST visit Dr Holmes looked at his ears & suspected it to be psoriasis, which none of the specialists had ever concluded. She gave us a plan on how he should change his diet but also ordered multiple tests to finally find out he was extremely intolerant to gluten and that was the cause! Within two weeks of the diet change, even before the test results came back, his head and ears had improved by 90%! Dr Brianne Holmes is simply remarkable when it comes to critical thinking in caring for the entire body - emotionally, mentally and physically! Test before you Guess! Most Dr's will throw med's at you from nothing but a best guess. NO! Dr Holmes provides actual healthcare that will guide you to where your body is deficient and why those deficiencies are causing ALL your symptoms. She takes the time to explain why nutrition is the key to your health!

New gym in downtown Downers Grove! Conveniently located near the Downers Grove Main Street train…read morestation and Egg Harbor. The gym features a variety of classes (including cardio, strength training, etc.). I tried the "Gonna Make You Sweat" class--it is a good mix of cardio, strength training, and core work. The gym has all new equipment (treadmills, stair climbers, rowers, free weights, racks, etc.). The gym utilizes the latest technology in personalized fitness through the use of heart monitors. Each gym user has the option of wearing a heart rate monitor and the data is displayed on the gym screen during the workout session. The software actively tracks your heart rate in comparison to your target heart rate. At the end of the workout, you receive an email with your workout stats (e.g., average minimum and maximum heart rate, heart zones during the workout, etc.). The data links into the MAR fitness app on your smartphone, so you can track your stats workout-to-workout. The gym amentities include single user bathrooms (shower included) and lockers with built-in combination key pads. Ample parking given the gym's close proximity to the Downers Grove Downtown Parking Garage and the train station parking lot (available during the evening hours and on the weekends). Great for commuters and for those who want a fresh take on fitness!
