Group Strength Training in Glenview, IL

Start with a training assessment—90 minutes, one-on-one, where we get to go on "our first date" and learn about your goals, training history, and what's been getting in the way. The assessment fee is credited toward your membership if you decide to join. If you'd rather talk it through first, a free 15-minute discovery call works too. Either way, nothing is decided until you are.

No. Truth is, nobody walks into an assessment and tells us they feel great, look great, and just want to show off what they can do. People come in because something isn't going the way they want it to—maybe life got in the way, maybe they've been putting in the work without seeing the return. Either way, the assessment starts with where you actually are, and the plan gets built from there. Current fitness level isn't a deal-breaker. It's just the starting point.

You'll likely work with a few different coaches, not just one. But we talk to each other as a team. We share notes on your goals, your history, and updates as you train. Chances are, a coach might know more about you walking in than you'd expect.

Yes, for most people. Group training gives you real coaching plus a shorter learning curve. You're watching and hearing your coach work with other people all session, not just yourself, so you pick things up faster. It also builds a training environment that's supportive and a little competitive, in the best way. And despite what most people assume, group training actually gives you more scheduling flexibility than one-on-one, since you're choosing from a full week of open group times instead of building your week around one coach's calendar. Most people who try it weren't sure they'd like it going in, and end up preferring it.

We get this a lot. Our group training is coached training in a small group setting, not a group exercise class. Our coaches know your goals, understand your history, and adjust the session when needed. You still get the support of training with other people, without disappearing into the back row or being left to figure things out yourself. It's small-group strength coaching—not follow-the-leader fitness.

Up to 9 people per group. Small enough that your coach knows your name and actually watches how you move, but social enough that you're still training alongside real people, not by yourself. You get coached attention without losing the group energy.

We specialize in working with adult athletes, and that population usually comes with a little bit of baggage—bad knees, old shoulder issues, a back that acts up. Training around an injury or limitation is normal here. Not an exception. Your assessment includes a movement screen, so your coach knows what to work around from day one and can modify exercises based on what you actually need. If Physical Therapy is part of your plan, your PT and your training coach stay in communication—so you're not stuck managing two separate plans that don't talk to each other.
