“Great place. Just not for me. I did the “Reserve” semi-Private trial membership. The video assisted workout was kinda cool. To be honest, maybe I’m just old, but the volume and type of music played (too poppy and clubby) wasn’t the rock that I want when working out. Too heavy bass “spin class” for my Gen X, ex-jock meathead taste perhaps.?
I have a lot to work on. The trainers were very good at identifying the areas on which I need to focus. Good place. Just not exactly what I was looking for.”
“Everyone at this gym is so welcoming and friendly! This kind of environment can be really intimidating with all the experience people, but they've created a very supportive and down-to-earth culture. Would highly recommend!!”

“I’m a forty-something full time working mom of two sports-obsessed boys, so my life is basically Ubering, laundry, and trying to feed them. These days I am more “mom-fit”. Strong enough to carry 12 grocery bags and 60 pounds of sports equipment, but I’m not entering any fitness competitions anytime soon!
I started with group training just to “get back into it” and loved it—great energy, great people, and just the right amount of peer pressure. But then I decided to level up and do one-on-one training with Coach Steve… and wow. Let’s just say I found muscles I didn’t know I still had!
I love training hard, being pushed, and walking out looking like I just survived a mild natural disaster. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to get strong, feel confident, and occasionally wonder if their trainer is secretly trying to kill them.”

“You can stop looking, this is the best gym in this area!! Huge plus that they are open 24/7.
My wife and I are spoiled gym wise and when we came to visit family in McHenry we were not going to take time off so we looked at all of the gyms here.
By quite some margin Fitness 120 is the nicest, cleanest and friendliest gym. All the equipment is new and really well maintained. The staff is sweet, kind and knowledgeable. You can't go wrong.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I can’t say enough good things about Kevin! I came in struggling with persistent tennis elbow pain that was affecting my daily activities, and after just one session, I noticed a huge difference. Kevin used techniques that targeted the exact areas of tension. The massage relieved my pain and allowed me to play tennis again. I highly recommend Kevin. I have sent many of my friends to him already.”
“I’ve been coming to this specific orange theory for over a year now. My favorite coaches are definitely head coach Ralph and Coach Bravo! But really everyone from the coaches to the staff are just so kind, welcoming and helpful! I specifically love coming to the strength training classes. I do wish they have Friday evening classes… or more STRENGTH classes in general but otherwise no complaints! The gym is clean, you get a great structured workout, and really everyone is so nice! And the killer music always helps me enjoy my workout even more!”

“I was hesitant to join “another” gym. I was nervous it would be cliquey and also because I could not dance to save my life! However, I kept seeing an ad for their January promotion & decided to give it a try and I am so glad that I did! Everyone was so welcoming and friendly! The instructors are amazing and the routines are so much fun that for the first time in my life I look forward to waking up and exercising. I only planned to go during the promotional period but have since joined as a full time member!”

We started this camp to improve my son's speed, strength and agility on the ballfield and we can already notice the difference!
We definitely will continue to go to camp and look forward to seeing how my son grows in his workout journey! Thank you!”

“6 months ago I decided to switch from functional strength training to powerlifting so I signed up for personal training/coaching with Matt at The Bar. It was a little intimidating at first but the sense of community at The Bar is exceptional and everyone has been incredibly welcoming and encouraging. Matt and all the coaches are knowledgeable and truly care about your development as an athlete. The equipment is top notch and the facilities are always clean. Love this gym!”
“I have been coming here since it opened. Amazing facility, top equipment and great environment.This is friendliest excercise class I have been to! The coaches all know my capabilities (and way to push me) and atmosphere is supportive and fun.I never thought I would enjoy strength training and sweating so much.”

“TruFitness offers a great facility and atmosphere to work out in. The owner + staff are more than knowledgeable. They push you hard and are also great to spend time with. The gym goers are super friendly too + they accept everyone from all ages and body types. It’s great to see.As far as workouts, they're very well guided and will hit every part of the body. Things are always mixed up so it doesn’t seem repetitive, what my brain needs!If diet help is needed, I have achieved obstacles and weight goals that I was not able to do on my own. The diet given has left me feeling more energetic.I thank all of the team at TruFitness! I look forward to see what else I can achieve with them.”

We were coached by the owner Mike, who gave us excellent pointers and made for a very enjoyable class. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Thank you for having us!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This review is way overdue!
I absolutely love this gym. The atmosphere is welcoming, positive, and motivating from the moment you walk in. The classes are challenging, but that's exactly why I keep coming back. Every workout pushes me, and afterward I always leave with a real sense of accomplishment.
The staff is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and supportive, while still creating a friendly, family-oriented environment. They genuinely care about their members and make everyone feel comfortable, no matter their fitness level.
I've tried other gyms before, but this is by far the best one. If you're looking for a place that will challenge you, encourage you, and make you feel like part of a community, this is it!”
“I’m 3 weeks into my fitness journey with Burn and my only regret is that I waited as long as I did to get started! The team is awesome, energy is great, and there is a place for EVERYONE at any level of fitness. I would definitely recommend joining.”

OTF Algonquin makes you feel like a valued member, whether it’s recognizing your birthday or workout milestones.

“I started with the 12 week challenge and couldn't be happier. Lost weight and inches. I am 55 so starting from scratch was difficult. The members made me feel very welcome and comfortable. Staff is very supportive. Alec, one of the group trainers helps me modify any exercise I need to due to my unique past injuries and surgeries. I went from barely able to walk 3 years ago to jogging 2 minutes straight. May not seem like much, but to me it's a huge life changer. Getting stronger, more energy and more movement. I am continuing on with my group training because of all the encouragement and fun people.”

“This is an awesome place to workout! I started working out here about six months back or so and started working with coach Jeffrey. I’ve had amazing results. My body fat percentage went from 16% all the way down to 3% and I’ve gained 9 pounds of muscle. The vibe of the gym is also great with friendly staff and awesome owners. I’d recommend this gym 100%”

“Every summer when my family and I come back to Island Lake, one of the first things we do is head to Snap Fitness. It honestly feels like coming home. Jamie, Loreli, and the entire staff are just incredible—so friendly, welcoming, and always quick to get us set up in the system so we can jump right back into our routine without missing a beat.
What I love most about this place is how clean and well-kept everything always is. The equipment is up to date, the gym is spotless, and I genuinely feel safe and comfortable every time I walk in. It’s not just a gym—it’s a space that makes you feel cared for.
The pricing is also super reasonable for everything they offer, and whether you’re brand new to working out or someone who trains regularly, this gym has it all. The atmosphere is supportive, never intimidating, and the staff go above and beyond to make sure everyone feels seen and valued.
Thank you to Jamie, Loreli, and the whole Island Lake Snap Fitness team for always making us feel so welcome year after year. We absolutely love it here and can’t recommend it enough!”
“The owners and coaches truly care about the success of every one of their athletes. This program is dedicated to pushing their athletes to their true potential and is a good mixture of toughness, compassion and competitiveness. The new owners have truly turned this program around and put it on the map again as one of the top programs in the area!”

“Okay you got the TV's to work. Now, NEWS or SOMETHING TO READ while we ride would make a 5 star. Emily is a Treasure.
Just wondering, One day the temp in the gym is perfect, cool and not humid and the next it's humid and warm. When it's hot and sticky it smells really bad and hard to breathe properly.”
“Paul is awesome! He always prioritizes safety, ensuring I use proper form and avoid injury. At the same time, he knows how to push me to get the best results. A perfect balance of motivation and care! Thanks, Paul!”
“Dependable, knowledgeable and makes the miserable experience of working out fun! I highly recommend Hilltop Fitness and Josh to anyone looking for the real deal.”
