StretchLab
Fitness center
👍👍 Being an athletic guy, I joined StretchLab because I needed help with muscle recovery and increasing flexibility. Some stretches you cannot do on your own, and that’s where places like StretchLab come in to help. I was assigned to Alex, and he’s the best! Knowing that I come from an athletic backgro...

TRAIN MOMENT (West Loop)
Gym
👍👍 I want to start this review by saying that I am not a person who works out regularly and if I do, I stick to cardio since everything else is intimidating. I live nearby and decided to push myself out of my comfort zone and check it out. I had never taken a group class before, so I went in feeling ve...

Windy City Strength & Conditioning
Fitness center
👍👍 I can’t say enough about Windy City! I’ve never done CrossFit before and it seemed intimidating at first. Once you sign up, they require two private lessons to ease you in and teach you proper techniques before your first class. The coaches are very aware of each persons abilities and will always ha...

Before finding Jag, I’d been crossfitting for ~5 years at your typical WOD-centric box. In my mid-thirties, my performance had plateaued, and the incessant g...
