“If you’re thinking about training here, do it — my only regret is not starting sooner.
I’m a personal trainer who’s coached professional athletes, and after 10 months of Olympic weightlifting with Coach Tim, I’ve made more progress than I ever expected. I started with a 220lb clean & jerk and a 175lb snatch — now I’m doing 300lb clean & jerks and 231lb snatch.
I wake up at 4am to train 8 clients a day and still make it to Tim’s class by 4pm — because it’s that worth it.
I’ve competed in two meets, hit PRs in both, won my session in the first, and took 1st place at Illinois State in the men’s 89kg class in the second.
Coach Tim’s style is highly technical. You earn your heavy weights here. His unique blend of Chinese and Russian Olympic training principles creates a truly next-level approach to the sport.
Classes are group-based, but it feels like 1-on-1 coaching. Everyone follows the same structure, but weights are customized for each lifter. It’s beginner-friendly yet pushes even advanced lifters to level up. The community is also incredible — supportive, hardworking, and welcoming. New lifters thrive here because of that.
Tim holds you accountable. He’s tough in the best way — pushing you to meet your potential. Training with him has transformed not just my lifts, but my mindset. The way he keeps intensity high, reads his athletes, and communicates — it’s clear how much knowledge and passion he brings. He’s forgotten more about weightlifting than most people will ever learn.
The gym itself is well-equipped and even has a recovery room with a cold plunge, sauna, and power plate — a huge asset with how much we train.
Tim also coaches you through competitions and is completely locked in — helping with timing, attempts, and in-the-moment strategy. He knows how to get the best out of you when it matters most.
At the end of the day, he’s not just a coach — he’s someone I trust, respect, and am proud to train under. I was hooked from day one, and I can’t recommend this gym and Coach Tim enough.”
“Rally Point is a fantastic gym with a welcoming atmosphere and top-notch equipment. The staff is friendly, and the trainers are knowledgeable, making it a great spot for anyone serious about fitness or just starting out. Highly recommend for both the facilities and the supportive community!”
“This facility is really a community of folks interested in all types of martial arts. The instructors are courteous but work you very hard - I lost 9 pounds in the first 2 weeks. For kids, it really looks like they have a well organized program from Jiu jitzu to wrestling, though my children did not attend these programs directly. I would encourage anyone who has driven by this facility to stop in and meet Master George. It's a bit intimidating meeting a world champion in anything, but you'll see this compound has evolved around his passion for the arts and his genuine interest in peoples' safety and health. It's a great experience.”
“I love this gym so much I commute from the city. “But aren’t there 9Rounds in the city?” Yes, and I’m sure they’re good - but the people are what set this location apart. Louisa and her trainers could not be more supportive or more delightful. In the two months I’ve been coming I feel stronger, more capable, and excited for the next steps on my journey. Can’t recommend this location enough.”
“I definitively plan on restarting in the spring when I have more time again and this will be the place I go because I know if I need to stop again they will make it easy for me. Thank you!!!!”

“I sometimes work out here when I am in the area. My usual is Vernon Hills. I find Northbrook to be smaller in terms of equipment and amenities. It's lovely but somewhat limiting. Not my favorite Lifetime location.”
