Chicago North Center Fit Body Boot Camp

Love this place! Focused on getting results! Professional! And a great team of coaches/​admin an owners! Highly Recommend!

I joined Fit Body in January 2014 with the intention of working out there for a month or two and then going back to my usual gym.
A year later, I am still a member at Fit Body and have no intention of going back to my former gym. Here is why:
1. Results
It’s nice to see results when you work out. Now, I need to add here that I do attend classes 4 times a week and work really hard during the sessions. That being said, I’ve achieved better results doing these workouts than I’ve gotten doing anything else. My weight is down and my clothing fits better, AND, most importantly, I’m also a lot healthier. I have more functional strength — carrying groceries up to the third floor is a lot easier now than before.
2. The inclusive, supportive community
The workouts are tough. Gino and Tim, the instructors, are very motivating and encouraging. Additionally, members are very friendly — you get to know people after attending classes regularly. People always say that gyms are not judgy or that people are welcoming, but here it’s really true. You really do become part of a community.
3. The convenience
Each workout is 30 minutes. It’s not hard to find 30 minutes a three or four times a week.
4. Motivation to make healthy life changes
We all know that one needs to make healthy eating choices to see results. Fit Body has helped me to develop healthier eating habits — mainly because I work way too hard during a workout to have a SECOND cookie. I’ve definitely developed a habit of eating more sensibly and in moderation. If you need help getting started with that, Dave, the owner, is full of ideas and receipes that you can try. You’ll see that simple switches go a long way.
Fit Body is an investment of time and money. However, it is by far one of the best things that I have done for myself.

I have been coming here for about three months now. I have never seen a more positive transformation in my body than ever before. The workouts are always challenging and never the same! It is by far the best investment I have made in a long time. I can tell you that if I would be stricter with my diet and go to more than three classes a week, I would see an even greater transformation, but the fact that I am getting so many compliments doing what I am doing is just a testament to what a great program this truly is. I couldn’t be happier with this place. I even drive 20 minutes every morning just to go work out here… that’s huge. I like convenience. So that says a LOT!!! The classes are intimate so you never feel overwhelmed with people and I have never once felt intimidated by the workouts or by my fellow workout companions. It truly is an inspiring place. I have seen so many amazing transformations in the last three months. It is so wonderful what this place does. I would give them five more stars if I could!

I originally was interested in this facility when it opened in January because of it proximity to the brown line, but it’s soooo much more than just convenience. You get a jam packed FULL 30 minute workout and then post workout stretching and your done! I had done group classes at the gym, but never one of these boot camps so I wasn’t sure if 30 minutes was going to feel like enough. But it is! And you FEEL it in a good way. the owner, almost immediately make you feel comfortable and takes any intimidation off the table. He’s supports you from the get go in a non confrontational way, but still holds you accountable and keeps you focused. Gino, the morning trainer, is great! He switches up the routine daily and at least once a week has a killer workout that makes one part of your body hate him in a good way. I can’t imagine this place not being part of my exercise routine. It really is a great gym!

I LOVE Fit Body! I have been a member since February and I kept thinking it would just be a month or two and then I’d go back to my old gym… but here I am 6 months later and I and can’t get enough (just bought another 6 months too!!) The workouts are short but intense, which I LOVE. I’m in at 5:30am and home by 6:15am, sweating and feeling GREAT. Every day is different — from «Tabata Tuesday» to obstacle courses, to team games, to good old fashioned pull ups. The trainers & owners do a great job of keeping it fresh and adding their own personal flair (balloons with challenges in them, games, competitions, challenges, etc.) I never know quite what to expect and always leave feeling like I got my butt kicked (in the best way). High intensity, efficient workouts — can’t ask for more.
They have also created an awesome community. They really do go above and beyond for their members, from support and structure to fresh extra-​curricular challenges to help us reach our goals. I participated in a few of their challenges and they have really gotten me back on track (and out of my head). I truly feel fortunate to have found this awesome place and can’t recommend it enough! A friend’s dad even thought I was a personal trainer when he met me, he said I looked «fit and put together.» YAY to Fit Body for that!
Fit Body is not just a place for me to workout, but it is also a community upon which I draw inspiration and strength, full of awesome, caring people!

I’m feeling like my happy, fit self again — all thanks to Fit Body Boot Camp! I spent a good part of this brutal Chicago winter hibernating indoors on a steady diet of delivery Thai and pizza. So I shouldn’t have been shocked to learn that I gained 13 pounds since last summer (EEEEK!!). I am now in my third week as a member, and I have already lost 7 of those pounds. The workouts, which they change up daily, are 35 minutes of high intensity rotations. The equipment is top notch and the facility is clean and airy. Dave and his team go the extra mile — they keep us motivated, engaged and accountable both in class and outside of it as well, with fun challenges and advice. You will also receive a welcome kit with nutrition tips and recipes. Their extra effort and care makes them stand out from other bootcamps I have attended in the past. They keep the class sizes to a set maximum, so there is plenty of individualized attention. Once you are a member, signing up for classes is super easy either online or through an app on your phone. Highly recommended for all fitness levels!

I’m really enjoying my Fit Body Boot Camp membership. I’ve been a member for 3 and half months and it keeps me accountable and consistently working out. The workouts are challenging but they are only 30 minutes — so you sweat, you feel the burn, but mentally you think it’s only 30 minutes! The staff is super friendly and they are great at answering work out questions, nutrition questions, and once you go a few a times– they remember you and even push you a little more if you are slacking. The facility is super clean. They have people of all ages, shapes, and sizes at Fit Body — so it’s not intimidating and if you go at the same time every day — you start to become friendly with your other classmates which makes it fun. They also do team challenges and have a great private Facebook page so everybody can share recipes and post motivating and fun pictures to keep fitness a priority. Big fan and very happy with my decision to become a member. Plus — it’s right off the Brown line and if you go to 5:30a, 6:15a, or the 7a class — street parking is free (you have pay starting at 8a).

Fit Body Boot Camp is a great group workout facility. The sessions are intense but are still only 35 minuets so I have no excuse of being too busy to not go.
The instructors are energetic and encouraging throughout the entire workout. The sessions are full of all shapes and sizes but each individual is pushed to reach their maximum potential. The sessions are small enough that everyone gets to know each other and gets personal attention from the instructors. Each day I go I get a different workout and everyone is excited to be there. I always leave feeling confident that I got a great workout.
The staff helps to hold you accountable not only for working out but also with your nutrition. They give you systems to help monitor your activity level, weight and eating habits in order to reach the goals you set for yourself. I was set up with a personal meal plan and grocery list to help guide me to better eating habits.
I am loving my sessions with Fit Body Boot Camp and urge you to check it out if you are looking for a great group workout atmosphere within the city!

My wife and I have both visited this location and love it! The group workouts are small enough to get personal attention while still enjoying working out with others. The trainers leading the classes are knowledgeable and energetic and make the workouts fun. The facility is brand new and perfect for these types of workouts. They also allow you to conveniently schedule your class times online. The atmosphere is not intimidating at all, and there are people of all shapes and sizes in the classes. If you’re looking for a group workout place in Chicago, there’s no reason to look any further.
