Life-changing!! I started a new job about 3 years ago, and I was probably in the best shape of my life. Then I woke up one day about 7 weeks ago and realized I had put on 46lbs in the 3 years since starting the job. Actually, I didn't know I had put on 46lbs... but I knew I had put on a bunch of weight, I had no energy, was mortified about my appearance, and was just overall miserable. I was working 12-hour days (not including the 1hr commute each way) - 6 to 7 days a week. Ironically, during the same period, I was paying for 2 different gym memberships that I wasn't using. I didn't want to cancel the memberships because I kept thinking paying the money would be my motivation to get myself back on track... but it wasn't working... I wasn't getting motivated... I just kept getting more and more out of shape. Then, about 8 weeks ago, I saw the Top Level Fitness ad on Facebook. I "liked" it, so then it started appearing more frequently on my news feed. After seeing the ad over and over again for about a week, I decided to go check it out. I made an appointment to meet with Zack on a Friday evening, and he convinced me to give it shot. As soon as I got home, I convinced my wife to sign up, too. I went in the next morning for my orientation and "weigh-in." That's when the numbers hit me... 46lbs. Wow! I had put on 46lbs in 3 years. Ugh! Skip forward 6 weeks. I lost 21.8lbs and 7.1% body fat! How? It was easy... it really was. I realized that I was working so many hours because I was actually avoiding going to the gym. So I forced myself to leave work at a normal hour, and would head straight to Top Level Fitness. The 6-week challenge only requires you to commit to working out 3 nights a week, but I felt so good after the first week, that I started doing sessions after work M-F, and then another session on Saturday morning. The program also educated me about my diet... and made me accountable by forcing me to document what I was eating. Here's the crazy part - I was actually eating way more food - just healthier. And I started shedding weight immediately. 8lbs the first week, and then 2-3lbs per week for the remaining 5 weeks. Zack and his entire crew have been fantastic. My wife met her goals, too. We were so impressed with the program that we actually signed up for a membership before the end of our 6-week challenge. Lastly - you will not get bored with this program. The workouts are different each night, and none of them require any kind of unique athletic ability. Also, I have a bum knee, so I wasn't able to do some of the exercises. But I didn't have to sit on the sidelines - the trainers (Chris, David & Sean) always had a modification ready for each exercise in the event someone had a particular physical limitation (knee, back, etc.). Again, I just finished my 6-week challenge, and I can't wait to get back to Top Level tonight to begin the next phase of what has genuinely been a "life-changing" program for me. read more

In December 2011, my wife presented me with a Groupon certificate for Top Level Fitness. She understood that I was looking for something different for my well being and thought that this might kick start my new year. I have to admit, I was a bit anxious to attend anything that had the words "Boot Camp" associated with the title. I can remember my first appointment with Zack and Sean. I was quite humbling to say the least. My first work out did not go so well. The anxiety of working out with a group almost put me over the edge. During my first work out, I got a "charlie horse" in my calf and had to stop about half way though the session. How embarrassing! After a few weeks of sore muscles, my body started to adjust to using muscles that have not had a lot of action in many years. After 22 months with Top Level Fitness, I can honestly say that I am in the best shape of my adult life. After joining Top Level Fitness, it took two 3-month contract cycles for me to realize that this was the best thing that I could ever do for myself with regards to my health. Sure it is substantial monetary investment, but once you put a value on your own well being, it no longer becomes a stumbling block. Since I started with Top Level Fitness I have lost 20 plus pounds and 5 percent body fat. Today it feels strange to look at old pictures of my former self, but in the end it's been quite an enjoyable journey, not only for me, but for my family as well. They can sense my newly found confidence, which only helps me to be a better husband and father. My energy levels help power me through the yard work, long days at work, as well as biking, fishing, and sports in the backyard with the kids. Diet, exercise, and food portions seem to be the magic trio for me. I've traveled down the roads of fad diets, but they never seem to provide a lasting overall effect for my life-style. The nutritional plans, personalized coaching and accountability that Top Level Fitness offers, has put me back in control, and that's where I would like to stay. The only advice that I can offer to someone who might be looking for a change would be... to take back your life, do something that makes you feel better both physically an mentally and enjoy the ride. I realize that everyone has their own methods for achieving such goals, but for now, I choose to exercise with all my new friends at Top Level Fitness. read more

I'm in my last week of the 6 Week Transformation Challenge and I must say I have had the most exhilarating experience attending the workout classes at Top Level Fitness(TLF). When I started out I was skeptical about my ability to complete the challenge with a minimum of 3 classes per week attendance requirement and the need to maintain a healthy diet . But this transformation program surprised me as I found myself attending 4-6 classes every week and also strictly following my diet to achieve my goals. I would like to start out by mentioning that the trainers - Sean,David and Max are extremely thorough professionals , who try to ensure that each person undergoing the training, perform the routines with the correct form and energy . Their commitment, professionalism and friendly approach has been exemplary . Talking about the routines /exercises, the trainers planned them in such a manner that we never happened to repeat the same exercise within a week as there was always some variation involved. At the end of every class, I just could feel I had pushed my limits and attained a new level of fitness, in terms of strength and stamina. The best part of this facility and the program is that there are classes early in the morning( 5.30 AM ,6.30 AM) and later in the evening ( 4.30PM,6 PM and 7 PM), which is what got me really interested in enrolling in the program as I could attend the workout based on my work and family\personal schedule. The online appointment booking through the MindBody app upto 30 minutes before a class gave me the flexibility to wake up in the morning, book my spot through the app and just walk into the class. And believe me, in the 6 weeks I have attended, there has never been short of 20 people in a class. So, that is a testimony of the quality of fitness workout that you will experience by being a member of the TLF family. I will strongly recommend anybody, on the lookout for a body transformation, to join TLF as every minute you spend will be worth the effort. read more

I came across Top Level Fitness in a FB ad, decided to give the 6-week challenge a try and can honestly say it was the best decision I've made for myself. I had tried many diets, programs and gyms before but was soon disappointed because I wasn't seeing the results I wanted. Top Level Fitness is unlike your regular neighborhood chain gym, here you'll find the support and guidance to help you reach your goal regardless of your current fitness level. Trainers: David, Sean, Max, Liz, Zack (owner) and Taylor are amazing! They guide you throughout the process and always ensure you are doing each exercise correctly to avoid any injuries. Is like having two personal trainers each day, but in a group setting. Having access to experts like them is key! They design each session in a way that is challenging but FUN - those 45 minutes go by in a flash. Each session is challenging and unique, exercises always change, you'll never get bored or overwork muscles. The nutrition plan is easy to follow, the staff is always available to answer any questions or help you make adjustments if needed. For me, the first couple of days were tough as I was dealing with serious DOMS pain but the trainers and other members kept encouraging me to keep at it. After a couple of ice baths, and six straight days at TLF, I was hooked! Did not miss a single day during the 6 week period, found myself attending 6 times per week - slowly but surely I started seeing results! In the process, I found myself with much more energy, lost several pounds of fat, increased muscle mass, lost inches throughout and overall feel much better. Seeing such results in a matter of only six weeks made me decide to become a member. I'm looking forward to continue on my journey along with other members whom have also been great motivators! The one thing I regret is not having started sooner, so if you're looking to make a real change and are willing to stick to the plan, don't wait any longer! Give TLF a try, you won't regret it! read more

I decided to join the 6 week Challenge because I needed a push to make a change. I was unhappy on how I looked and fit in my clothes. I had tried to diet and work out on my own and never would lose weight and would just give up on both the work outs and diet. I knew a few people who were members of Top Level Fitness and loved the work out and how it made them feel so i gave it a try. To be honest the first week was tough, I had a hard time recovering after the work outs but once i got past the first week I started to have more energy and feeling better. Although, the diet was pretty strict, I was happy to say i was able to follow it and didn't feel like i was missing out. I did get frustrated early on, since i wasn't losing the weight like the other challengers. Zack was great and worked with me on tweaking my diet. The work outs are tough but you feel so good once you complete them.I was intimidated by the work outs at first but the coaches are great and help you do the different exercises correctly and safely so you won;t hurt yourself. Also the the other challengers and members were helpful. You tend to get to know each other if you work out at the same time. I liked that you can pick from multiple times but i am creature of habit and I found that evenings worked best for me. I would have loved to join Top Level Fitness but unfortunately the cost doesn't fit my budget at this time. I have taken what i have learned from the Zack and the coaches and have continued the workouts at the fitness center through my work and continue to follow the diet with some healthy additions to add some variety. Although I only lost 7 lbs over 6 weeks, I did lose 6.9% of body fat and feel the best i have in years. I have tons of energy and much healthier. The Challenge has helped me make a life style change. read more

I just want to say that if you are searching for a gym to take that first step in changing your lifestyle for the better, look no more, Top Level Fitness is the place to go! I am so happy that I found this place while scrolling on Facebook. From the beginning and everyday that I attended a class here, the gym has always been very clean and all staff has been very personable, friendly and knowledgeable- knowing everyone's name and always pushing you to your limits to help you better yourself more than the day before. Recently having a baby, I needed a jumpstart to lose the excess weight and tone up again and the biggest thing that helped me by joining this 6 week body challenge was definitely following the nutrition plan and portion control information that they provide. It is imperative that you follow the nutrition plan while at least attending 3 workouts per week. If you do that, you will be very satisfied with your results. If you are someone who struggles with trying to figure out how to use the workout machines, or can't make up a workout routine when you walk in a gym - this place will be perfect for you because everything is already done for you! You will never do the same workout routine in any class that you attend. I loved that because it never got boring as well as time always flew by. If there was something that I struggled with, there was always a trainer right there to help me modify that exercise and it was just as good. Thank you very much to all of the coaches and staff - you have definitely helped in pushing me to better myself as well as enjoy working out again! Quit making excuses to start "tomorrow", give the 6 week body challenge at Top Level Fitness a try today - you will be so glad you did! read more

I took up an offer from top level fitness from a social living listing for a 2 week free trial. Lets just say that I was less than impressed. Their so called gym is a sub-leased ballywood dance studio, so the room where we did "boot camp" was literally the size of a hallway. Just a 15 by 30 foot room with wood floors and mirrors on the wall with a cheap sound system. The actual exercises where very basic. Just squats, curls, lunges, crunches, pushups, and don't forget jumping jacks. The workouts are scheduled for 45 min but after the stretching warm-up and cool down they are less than a half-hour. The instructors spoke incoherently and in broken English. They seemed very crude and barbaric and where actually touching some of the women inappropriately and unprofessionally. Here is the most beautiful part. They want 197 a month after the trial period. . I can join a top of the athletic club for less than $100 a month with no contract. A club with a pool, a sauna, and other gym amenities. Oh and most clubs offer tons of classes for free (including cardio bootcamp classes and other similar high intensity circuit training classes). The owners seemed very shady and the company looked like a fly by night company. Needless to say I called my credit card company and ordered them not to accept any charges from these people. Bottom Line: this place is as a crooked as a politician, grossly overpriced with zero value. Thanks for your time, Sam read more

It's been about 6 years,then I had my last workout. I'm one busy mother of two son's (almost 1 and 3 years old ).Like most women, i gained extra weight after pregnancies and  just not moving enough, not eating right or on time,not having enough sleep and often being stressed out. One weekend, I was browsing a Facebook page and saw advertisement about 6 week challenge at Top Level Fitness !!! I thought,- that's it,- it's now or never. I have to give it a try . The hall system, is clearly explained by Coach Sean.They give you everything you need in order to  succeed and start changing your life and your body. An easy,- but strict meal plan, 24/7 support and help from your personal Coach and extreme workouts,- that go by so quick. Top Level Fitness is a sports club,- where people really come to work out and not just look at the mirror and be pretty. It's a place,- where everyone is on the same page.

I responded to a listing on social living for a free assessment and two weeks free trial boot camp class for a penny. After I provided my credit card information I was given an assessment at Top Level Fitness's Naperville Location, and was told that I could schedule two free weeks of boot camp classes. If I canceled before the end of two weeks I would not be charged anything minus the penny. Well after about the first week I felt the classes did not have enough value. You are basically put in a room with no equipment and told to do just basic body weight exercises. So I canceled and followed all of their clerical procedures to ensure that my credit card would not charged and be out of their system. The owner Zack told me personally everything was fine and that I would not be charged for the next month. The company lied, sure enough my card was charged and it showed up on my bill. I am in the process of trying to get my money back through social living or considering taking legal action. I and many people I know have had bad experiences with things like this, from charged accounts that never get resolved to identity theft. They are betting that you will forgo the charge and theft instead of pursuing costly legal action. Stay away from this company. I found out that they have already changed their name and location multiple times. For instance they used to be Fit Body Naperville. read more

I had been meaning to go on a diet and start eating better for over a year, but could just not find the motivation to do it on my own. January 1st came and went and I did nothing. My neighbor had gone through the program and highly recommended it. So, I saw they were doing a 6-week challenge program to lose 20 pounds in 6 weeks. I jumped in. They give you a full easy to follow diet plan that includes peanut butter, bread, and other stuff you usually don't see on diet plans. I liked that they even give you a grocery list to make it easier. During the program, I was surprised to find I was rarely hungry and enjoying the food. Their emphasis is healthy eating and exercising for the short and long term. They really help you adjust to this over time. They work with you weekly to gauge your progress and adjust for what is right for you and what works for you. One of my concerns was my injuries. I have issues with my left shoulder, Achilles, and my knees. They worked with me to adjust the workout to my injuries and my left shoulder issues have gone away because the muscles in my shoulder can now better support the joint. This has been a life changing experience that has given me back my body from 20 years ago. I have lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks and feel so much better about myself and could not be happier with what Top Level Fitness has done for me. read more

I found this challenge on my Facebook feed and was very skeptical. I decided to at least check it out. Zack the owner was very thorough and honest on what it would take to be to be successful and i appreciated his honesty. I just wrapped the 6 week challenge on May 20th. I almost backed out when I went to the more info night. I'm so so so happy I didn't! It was everything I needed and more! I'm 4'10 and was at 150lbs post partum. I've always been an active person for most of my life and I was getting so frustrated with the weight I gained. I was having so many hip, back and knee pain due to all the extra weight. I knew I had to do something drastic to change. This was by far the best decision I made. The 45 minute workouts flew by! I enjoyed it so much i looked forward to getting up early! They give you all the tools to be successful and stay accountable to your own goals. The coaches helped at any moment I needed help. They were always accessible for any questions. Most importantly they give you meal plan to follow. I'm still following it 90% of my day even after the challenge is over for me. I lost the 20lbs, I'm incredibly happy with the results. I know I couldn't have done it without Zack's incredible well thought out plan and the help of his team of coaches. I talk about them to anyone who wants a great place to change their life! read more

I want to write a review for Top Level Fitness because I think it is a GREAT place to work out. I have been going for about 4-5 months now and have seen a tremendous change in my overall health. I see a lot of bootcamps popping up and have had friends go the them and have not even had close to the results that I have. At Top Level, they not only have a place for you to come and workout, they take time to get your measurements to make sure that you are losing not only weight but also body fat. They also help you with eating/nutrition so that you are getting the right foods into your system. The trainers push you to make sure you are getting your full workout and not slacking. They make sure that you are doing the exercises right, so you don't hurt yourself and you are getting the max workout for that body part/s that you are working on. I was at the last hole in my belt and now I am at the first hole and really need a new belt. I am wearing shirts that I haven't worn in over 3 years and we all know we have those clothes in the back of our closet that we look at once in a while!!! Top Level is not just a bootcamp but a total lifestyle change if you do 1/2 of what they tell you. I want to personally thank Top Level, Liz, Zach, Kosta and Sean for all the help and support that I have been getting. Chris Valentine read more

Top Level Fitness is a great place to workout. I just finished the 6 week challenge successfully and I plan on joining permanently. In the 6 weeks working out and following their meal plan I lost 9.6% body fat. I have a lot more energy and I definitely see a difference in my workouts and of course my physical appearance. David, Chris and Sean are great trainers to work with. They keep you motivated during the workouts and know what they are talking about. In my case since I have some major injuries(two thirteen inch titanium poles fused to my spine) they always are right there making sure that the exercise I am doing is not bothering my back. If it is they modify it right there on the spot. The workouts always change and it pushes you every time you go there. Everyone that works there is extremely nice, even Liz at the front desk is a joy to talk to. The owner Zach is very involved in the gym too, he has lead some classes I have been in. He is a very motivating guy. They offer cryotherapy as well, this does wonders for people that have injuries like myself. Three minutes in the -140 degrees chamber and you feel like a new person. I highly recommend this to people that have injuries or are very sore after workouts. Overall this is a great gym to workout at. read more

I decided to join the 6 week Challenge in March because I had changed my way of eating in January and lost 20 pounds in two months and, while I love Jillian Michaels workout videos, it was too easy for me to make an excuse not to workout at home once it was time. I needed more support and loved the idea of group classes. I found the class schedule to be at convenient times that could easily fit both of my job schedules. The workouts are intense and they provide you with modifications if you can't do the exercise the ideal way. The coaches are great; they support you throughout the workouts by being positive and encouraging. They make sure you do the exercises correctly and safely so you don't get hurt. The other challengers and members were helpful, especially in the challenge facebook group. I did get frustrated, since I wasn't losing the weight like the other challengers and I attended 24/30 available workouts and felt I was putting in really good efforts. At the end of the challenge Zack met with me to discuss my concerns. Although I only lost 4.2 lbs over 6 weeks, I did decide to join because I enjoy the atmosphere and classes. And in my first week as a member I lost 6.7 pounds keeping with the same way of eating and workouts at TLF. read more

6 weeks ago I say an Ad on my Facebook post about the Top Level Fitness Training 6 week challenge. For once I decided to just give it a shot. Hesitant that it was too good to be true, I set up a date, met with a trainer, and made one of the best decisions I could ever make for myself for my heath. Hard work and following the program, I am more than excited and proud of my results!! The trainers at the facility are professional, knowledgeable, and motivational in teaching you the correct techniques to get maximum results. The gym is awesome! Great variety of equipment and exercises, motivating atmosphere, and super clean!! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this gym if you want to put yourself in a place that will truly help you reach your fitness goals. I would like to thank again the staff and trainers especially Sean, David, and Zack who pushed me to stay focus, use the proper technique and push myself to do my best! Wound hit BOTH of the goals without all of you guys!! I totally would recommend and try the 6 week challenge if you want to jump start a healthier lifestyle! Regardless of your fitness level, age, gender, or lifestyle, this place will help you get a get motivation and knowledge to a better feeling and looking you!!! read more

These people have the charm, class, and looks of your friendly neighborhood child molesters. I showed up for the "fat flush" trial, too bad the "instructor" showed up 5 minuets late. How professional, not only do these guys not look the part (flabby weaklings who are ugly bald nerds with coke bottle glasses) they cannot even act the part. No apologizes just lets stretch and warm up. Bend over and wiggle your knees. While Captain creepy stands behind you and gawks. Yeah that will do it. The classes had no value, I was told to do situps then pushups, then squats. Wow how creative, I can do this at home. Where is the specialized equipment? Bootcamp? Where is a constructed obstacle course? Nothing you will do jumping jacks over a 3 by 2 yoga mat and like it. Very overpriced, they want close to 2,000 dollars a year to work out at a locked in time in the morning for a 30 min "work out" three times a week. The workout being pushups and running in place for a half hour, since you can't do sprints, use machines, or weights because they train you in a ballet dance studio. A.K.A. a hallway with mirrors. My advice, don't waste your time or effort. They certainly don't put any time or effort into their classes or programs. read more

I joined Top Level Fitness back in July of 2016 and have never been happier with my decision. From the first session the trainers have been actively engaged in making sure I am getting the best workout and nutrition plan for me. I say me because they take the time to ask questions about what I am looking for from Top Level and what goals I am looking to accomplish, not just me show up and workout and go home. In September they started a "back to school" fitness challenge and was excited to join up. I had never done a fitness challenge and wanted to see what it was about. Again the trainers and I sat down to talk about what I was looking to accomplish in this 6 week challenge. My biggest problem was not showing up the gym but was my eating habits and making the best choices to reach my weight loss goals. They showed me a food plan that I stuck to as best as possible, showing me how easy it is to cook at home and eat a clean as possible and my results blew away any expectations I had. I learned that I do have it in me to get in shape at 44 years old and change bad eating habits that I will not fall back in to. I have been to other gyms but this is by far my best experience and you will not regret taking a look read more

I just successfully completed my 6 week challenge at Top Level Fitness and am so proud of how far I've come. 20 pounds in 6 weeks is no easy feat, but it's a challenge I'm so happy I took! Working as a night nurse, I had every excuse under the sun (pun intended) to not be able to change my lifestyle. With the help of all three (Sean, David and Max) coaches and motivation from Liz and Taylor, I was able to power through. After the first two weeks of continuing to wonder what in the heck I did this for, it became something I looked forward too especially after a long shift at the hospital. The classes were never the same and it was so nice to be able to turn off my brain and just do the exercises laid out in front of me. I also had a lot of trips I went on during this 6 week period and the coaches were very easy to talk to about helpful hints and tips when traveling that they themselves use. The coaches truly do walk the talk. The motivation between the staff and the other members is phenomenal! If your embarrassed or nervous to get back into the gym and working out like I was, don't be just do it. This place will not only kick your butt in gear, but can truly change all aspects of your life. read more

I joined the 6 week challenge through Top Level because I was tired of jumping from gym to gym, searching for motivation that didn't exist and becoming bored a few weeks after I joined any gym. Nothing kept me interested, until Top Level. Every workout was different and challenging, the gym was clean and the staff was great. When you join the 6 week challenge, the staff provides you with a meal plan, that was difficult to follow at first but once you committed the results started to show, and fast. This gym is a great place to give anyone that push or jump start you're looking for. The staff was always available for a "desk date" for you to ask questions or check your progress. All the member and people going through the 6 week challenge were always friendly, motivation and funny! One lady always busted a move during a song and it would make my day! Your all in it together and it's great to have a laugh while enduring some challenging workouts. If your on the fence bout getting back in the gym, or if you even can make it to a gym, go to Top Level. You will not regret your decision. Thank you Sean, David and Zak! Your guys are the best! read more
