“I like that the workouts are structured, but flexible based on individual abilities. The coaches at OTF South Elgin are amazing—very friendly, motivating, and disciplined about watching the clock. Playlists are great (most of the time!). And the members are friendly and supportive. The studio is always clean too!”
“Whether you go twice a week or everyday, everyone from the staff and coaches to the other members working out alongside of you, you are treated as family. Everyone is willing to help each other out and it creates a great sense of community. I also love the accountability aspect. The workouts are fun, different, and interactive to keep you motivated. I absolutely recommend Orange Theory. 10/10!”

“My happy place and I hope it becomes yours too! Friendly, fun and accommodating for all fitness levels and even those with joint replacements can do these workouts! Each workout is never the same and the music is awesome!!”
“I started a month ago and i love working out at F45 training south Elgin! The coaches are great and they motivate you. Also they make sure that you are getting your form right by providing lots of 1:1 guidance. Everyday is a new set of workouts, and the variety is always a fun surprise. I used to work out at Orange theory fitness before, and after completing more than 100 classes, the lack of variety and strength training, left me feeling bored. I also like how balanced the workouts are paced each day at F45 training. The equipment and space is always well maintained, and clean. All in all, I highly recommend this gym!”

Everyone is knowledgeable, kind, and great at putting together unique and challenging workouts. Each trainer brings something different to the class which keeps it fresh and you get different perspectives which is really helpful.”

“I joined Core FSN late summer and have not regretted this decision once! The atmosphere and community are second to none! All the coaches are amazing and have the best intentions for you to grow physically and emotionally.Not only is there only greatness within the community, they are more than understanding on your time and schedule. If you can’t be there right at the start, no big deal, just jump in! Also they offer a mid day class which comes in super handy for me(work from home full time & Mom of preschool/kindergarten).I would recommend Core FSN every time!”

“I am physically kind of lazy, which never bothered me until I hit 50 -- at which point I started to feel decades older and found myself spending much of my free time on the sofa (I have a job that requires sitting at a computer all day). After a stop-and-start sort of year, but for the last 6 months working out pretty regularly 3X a week for 30 min at FIT, I feel as though I've recaptured a huge part of my youth. No more am I dreading crouching down to look at something on a lower shelf while out shopping. No more am I avoiding doing simple things like cleaning out the garage or handling simple yardwork. I have more energy and more flexibility and feel competent to do physical things. I didn't realize until recently how much PAIN I was actually in because I was so inflexible and had so little muscle tone. Wish I hadn't listened to all those people who said it wasn't "worth" going to the gym unless you committed gobs of time. I really am indolent and made a truly minimal effort, basically just showing up, but it's made an incredible difference in my life and my mood just to be able to move easily. My only regret was not starting years ago rather than at age 54 (now 55). Jan is a wonderful instructor and offers training that is practically one-on-one in a relaxed atmosphere, but does "push" me enough that I feel that I've accomplished something. I really can't imagine NOT making time to work out in the future. Love the gym and love the people. The one-on-one sessions are great, too. Can't say enough about what a revelation it has been to feel good. It's improved my mental health too.”

“Such a great atmosphere and they have a large number of coaches that all bring different strengths and unique qualities. They all do a great job of explaining the workouts, but then also giving guidance on proper scaling for every level of fitness. And they do a phenomenal job with their kid’s and tweens/teens classes! They are patient and inclusive with every kid in class. They know when to push and know when to pull back based on the child’s personalized needs. It’s evident they truly care. Whether it’s for an adult or for a kid looking to stay active and build their confidence…I’ve never been to a better place and I’m grateful for the programs they offer.”

“I can’t help but share a really cool experience that happened to my son…Tonight was the first night of football evaluations for the upcoming season in which my son is enrolled with the Tri-City Chargers 11U program. At the end of the night, after the kids completed all of their drills, the head coach of the Gold D1 team called my son out and told him to stand up in front of the other boys. He wanted to acknowledge that out of the 83 boys there, the coaches noticed him and his performance. It wasn’t that he was the best one out there…it was that they knew that even though he had taken a year off from football, it was apparent that he had put a lot of work in to be ready for this moment.His journey started in November of last year, in which he took speed and agility classes along with football position specific training…all with the goal of being the best version of himself on the field this season. This would not have been possible without the wonderful coaches at Power Athletics and Grid Iron Godz…Davion Mitchell and David Brown are truly great athletes/coaches/men and I would highly recommend them to anyone!”

I love that it’s open 24/7 and super easy to get in with your phone instead of dealing with those old plastic keycards that always break or fall off your keychain ?. I usually go at night since that’s when I have time and it’s always convenient. Highly recommend Fuse Fit Gym to anyone looking for a welcoming place to work out!”
