Last spring I was looking for a personal trainer and gym in the Glenview area. I chose Activation…read moreFitness because it has small group training, is reasonably priced, and the music isn't too loud. The personal trainers are knowledgeable and professional. The equipment in the gym is clean and in good working order. The muscle activation work has been very helpful for my posture, lower back pain and plantar fasciitis. In a short amount of time I lost 7 pounds without starving myself. I'm so glad I found this hidden gem!

Justin is truly AMAZING! I found him year after my first ACL reconstruction surgery and 1 week…read moreafter my 2nd; had to scope it out. From the beginning, he was different from all the previous PT locations I have visited (I had spent the last 8 months in PT). The traditional approach being 30 minutes with the therapist, then 30 minutes doing exercises with the tech. He does not follow this format. Instead, he takes the time to listen to you and tailors a recovery program suited to your needs. The one on one care on site and accessibility was genuine and helped me understand my recovery and previous setbacks. I am amazed more PT clinics don't operate this way- I think there would be a lot less of us in PT then. Booking: First appointment made over phone and subsequent ones made on site and they accept most insurance. Parking: Ample parking in lot. Location: A bit tricky to find as it is in a plaza so allot an additional 5-10 minutes for your first visit.

I have been going to re:fit for years for Pilates and Gyrotonics. I cannot say enough good things…read moreabout my instructor, Gretchen. When I started going to see her, I had occasional back pain stemming from an old injury and from bad posture. Gretchen helped me strengthen my back, and the Gyrotonics in particular helped me recognize when I was falling into a bad habit, like hunching up my shoulders while sitting in front of my laptop. Today, I am pain free. The whole environment at re:fit is wonderful. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. You feel the presence of a warm and supportive community the moment you walk in the door. They also have a number of alternative health services available, and I've been extremely happy with every service I tried. This business has my highest recommendation.

I grew up in Highland Park but have not lived there for over 20 years. I was back in the area…read morevisiting when my father passed away suddenly. Pretty soon after, I knew I was going to need to do something for my mental and physical health, so I Googled "Pilates studio Highland Park," came across Body Evolve, and booked a 10-pack. I have a dance background and have been studying Pilates on the West coast for about 15 years. I've worked with Master Instructors Lara Hudson and David Woods and have fairly high expectations when it comes to a Pilates studio experience. Body Evolve exceeded all of my expectations. Their in-person reformer classes are a max capacity of 4. This allows the instructors to be very hands-on, and give personal corrections and guidance throughout the class. The studio is HUGE compared to what I'm used to in San Francisco, and it's on the second level of the building surrounded by windows with beautiful natural light shining in, especially in the morning. So, so peaceful, even when the class is tough! My first class happened to be on Yom Kippur. The other 3 students had cancelled as a result. Much to my surprise, Body Evolve and instructor Kathy kept the class on the books and gave me a private lesson for an hour! Because it was a 1:1, Kathy and I got to talking and I shared my circumstances around my visit. She was so kind and compassionate and I left there feeling whole. I've since taken classes with Jenay, Sarah, and Arlene and all of them are fabulous instructors. To me, the amazing instructors are the ones who work seamless transitions into the movements. Yes, you have to change your springs or walk to the other side of the reformer every once in a while, but if the transitions between movements are smooth and keep you working, you know the instructors know what they are doing. This is the case always at Body Evolve. The other ladies in the classes are very friendly too, everyone introduced themselves to me as the newbie in class (it seems like everyone knows each other at this studio, which is awesome!). If you live in the North Shore, or are simply visiting like me, take a few classes here. You are bound to be in for a great experience and an amazing workout too.

My therapist evaluated my stride and muscle imbalances and asked a lot about my activities and exercise routine. My ankle problem is now better and I know what I should do so that it doesn't come back to haunt me again. Every appointment, I was in a private room with my therapist with lots of equipment that we used. I had undivided attention from her every time I went in. I didn't have a prescription to use my insurance for this so I was put into what they call their wellness program. It was cheaper than having to pay my deductible with my insurance. A win-win.

Before I went there I suffered from an extremely painful stiff neck. It had bothered me for years and was getting worse -- at times I even had to wear a brace. My problem had gotten so bad that I was concerned about my inability to look over my shoulder when I was driving. Then a friend suggested I try Fit for Life. It has changed my life. After a series of physical therapy sessions I have regained the movement in my neck. I now have complete mobility and no pain. Working in a private space for a full hour with your therapist is as good as it gets. I just wish they had longer hours -- it was hard for me to get there by 7:00 pm. Joan M.
