My goal is to see if resistance and weight training will improve bone density going forward. Eric lives nearby and seemed like the perfect solution. He's knowledgeable, accommodating, and easy to talk to. We've only been at this for six weeks, but I'm very happy with the program so far.

I was delighted to find a local trainer here in Arlington Heights who was not only willing but eager to help me learn how to make fitness a regular part of my life. I've loved working with Eric for the past year. He focuses on functional fitness and helps me train across different exercises and disciplines. This includes traditional weight training, but also kettlebell, cardio, combined strength exercises, and even yoga. Eric has even helped me get my diet under control, reviewing my eating habits and helping me find healthier alternatives. I am in better shape than ever before, but thanks to Eric I've made fitness a regular part of my life. I went from someone who could be winded by two flights of stairs to running my first-ever half-marathon, something that would have seemed crazy to the old me. Throughout it all, Eric has been a kind and patient guide. I'm grateful to have found him.

Great little gym…read more Everyone has different workout routines and styles, so what you look for in a gym will be different from person to person. Here's the highlights to help you choose. It's a chain, but not a big one like XSport or Lifetime. So, if you want a big chain gym where you can travel and go to any gym this may not be for you. I know they have several locations but mostly in the Chicago Northwest suburbs. It's not very big, but they have a really good selection of machines and equipment. They don't have big locker rooms, hot tubs, pools, or exercise rooms for classes. I don't need any of that, so I'm glad they don't have it. The focus here is on working out. Even though the big gyms are probably double or triple the size of Fitness 19, they always seem so packed and you have to wait for the machine you want. Fitness 19 is good because you don't bump into people or have to wait a long time to get on the machine you want. With that said, I'll say this isn't a muscle head gym either. I used to work out at XSport, and there were always muscle heads that obviously took something to enhance their muscle growth. Good atmosphere. Everyone seems to be in a decent mood. Perhaps since it's a small gym there are a lot of people living around the area that go here. A lot of people seem to know each other and have a good time. Lastly, it's pretty reasonable for price. I believe I got started with a deal that was either $11 or $12 per month, but I paid for my year in full / advance, and got a further discount. You really can't beat the price and quality of this gym.

She is very focused on her job which is to give the client the best training session possible based on their needs and abilities that particular day. Jenny is always on time, and gently coaxes my mom to do more and work harder while being very cognizant of my mom's limitations (which can change from session to session) and making sure my mom does not get injured. Jenny is also very open to suggestions on modifying the training sessions based on updated goals. She is a great communicator and very kind to my mother as well. Jenny has trained my mom's caregivers to do specific exercises on the other four days of the week so that my mom can continue to increase her strength, balance and ability to walk for longer and longer stretches on her own without assistance. My mom's physical abilities and strength have improved since having Jenny as her trainer. We had another trainer for several years however Jenny has been much better at achieving positive results for my mom. We highly recommend Jenny as a personal fitness trainer!

But with the cold weather, exercising outside had become a miserable experience. I decided to try out a few sessions with Jenny hoping that our time together would give me some inspiration. I soon realized that training with Jenny was a life changing experience! For the first time ever, I'm actually excited to workout! The sessions are always incredibly enjoyable and rewarding. Not only is she great at her job, she is also one of the kindest, most generous people you'll ever meet. Jenny genuinely cares about you and will do everything she can to help you accomplish your fitness goals. I can't imagine going on this journey with anyone other than Jenny. I recommend her 100%. One session with her and you'll be hooked---I guarantee it!

I was a member of LA Fitness for several years with no prior issues. My membership was suddenly…read morecancelled after two minor situations involving my children, even though I fully complied with staff instructions and left immediately when asked. What is most concerning is how unprofessionally this situation was handled. I was not given a fair opportunity to explain my side. The District Manager interrupted me, did not allow me to speak, and made a final decision without transparency. Additionally, my emails to support were ignored for 8 days. When I finally received a response, it was simply stated that the decision would remain in effect, without any explanation or evidence of a proper review. I was told the case would be investigated, but it appears the decision was made quickly and without fairness. This experience reflects a lack of respect toward long-term members, poor communication, and questionable business practices. I expected a professional review process, but instead received dismissal and silence. Very disappointing.

If you are wondering why you should choose Marcos over the other trainers out there here are a few reasons: 1) He is incredibly versatile in his knowledge. He's not just a personal trainer but a life and wellness coach. He can help with nutrition, health, fitness, lifestyle -- he does it all. He will develop a program for you that address all aspects of your life to get you into peak condition. 2) His style is very partnership oriented. He finds out what you need, what your strengths and weaknesses are, and what style of training you like. He'll push you hard, but do so in a way that feels encouraging and positive, rather than the drill sergeant type personality. 3) Marcos is truly passionate about his work. This isn't just a job for him but a true passion. Since I've known him he's gone back to school countless times and obtained more certifications to continue to grow his knowledge and develop his skills. When I came to Marcos I had a lot of joint pain and was hardly able to workout at all. Now I'm pain free and able to do tough workouts. He's truly changed my life and he will do so for you as well!

Most Crunch locations, and chain gyms in general are mediocre at best, but this one is even lower…read morequality. A significant number of machines have been consistently broken for weeks or months, including an entire line of treadmills to the left of the front desk that I don't think I've ever seen working. Patrons rarely rerack their weights, and staff never does anything to help with that. There's also the issue that this gym is VERY popular with high school boys. They travel in packs, tend to be very loud and disruptive, and will hog machines, with 5 or 6 of them alternating sets on the same machine so that it can take up to 30 minutes just for one group to finish on a machine. I know there's nothing management/owners can do about that, but it's still something to take into account when choosing a gym. The only nice thing to say about this place is that the main gym floor is usually pretty clean. The women's bathroom is hit-or-miss on cleanliness, depending on the day. And if you're looking for a cheap chain gym, there's a Planet Fitness less than a mile away on Euclid Ave, where the quality probably won't be much different but at least PF is dirt-cheap, even compared to Crunch.
