The members and the trainers are welcoming. All experience levels are welcome.The trainers (Chris, Matt, Kalvin, Emily, Shaina, and Mike) are passionate about what they do, friendly, personable, and committed to helping others.I’ve been working with Chris for about two years, and he has helped me grow in strength. Before Chris, I was a regular gym goer. By working with Chris, I became a competitive powerlifter, and became a state record holder! Chris takes the time with work with me one on one and also is available if I need to message him with any questions. I continue to learn with him as he is a wealth of knowledge and is a great teacher! He is able to pinpoint your weaknesses and turn them into strengths.All the trainers are willing to work one on one with you and will prioritize safety and preventing injury.Not only is this a gym, but they also have a licensed massage therapist with her own studio! Jessie is a LMT with a certification in body tempering. She has incredible skills is able to give relief to those knot and tension areas.

“The workouts are great! I find myself doing best in a class atmosphere which can be very intimidating to walk into for your first time. Not here...everyone is very supportive, friendly, encouraging, and most importantly want to see you succeed. Workouts can be very challenging but the instructors are always there to motivate you to do your best. Judgement free zone which is so important!”

“I Burn for Orange Theory! If you're like me who doesn't know what to do at the gym or where to begin then this is the place for you. Workouts are set for an hour led by a certified OTF Coach. Their equipment are top notch. Members have access to water rowers, TRX, Free weights, Bosu, Bike, Strider and shock absorbent treadmills. Everyone is there to encourage one another to do their best while having fun working out. Joining OTF was the best decision I ever made. I highly recommend trying it out.”

“Wow, this is the BEST Planet Fitness I have ever seen. Holy smokes, it's nice! Sure, it's the locker room that is the most difference I see, but it sets the vibe. No wait for weights because there are at least 2 (if not 4) of various standard machines... and some newer ones like the glutes one by the abduction (thigh) machines... and my butt is still recovering ... KK, lookout, I will have a hiney by summer. =] And... all the cardio machines connect to the TVs well so you can zone into a show easily.”

“Will, Andrew & Kurt have been great with our boys (16 and 13) since they started at SAA about 6 months ago. Impressed with the structure, guidance and encouragement they have received on their journey to becoming better athletes (faster, stronger) through customized, focused training. Short-term results have been quite noticeable but most importantly they are learning life-long lessons and know if they stick with it, results will continue to follow. These guys really know what they are doing. Highly recommend.”

“My teen really enjoyed coming here for boxing and Muah Thai. Their classes are very intense and disciplined. The coaches are all wonderful. My son’s favorite class was instructor Jose’s boxing class. The owners Richard and Kelly are really kind and treat you like family. I highly recommend Maximus Muah Thai for boxing, Muah Thai, Brazilian Jui-Jitsu.”

“Last week was my first time training here, I walked in with an uneasy feeling about going to a new gym. While I was waiting, I walked around the premise to get myself comfortable. The equipment was clean and spread out. there wasn't as much traffic meaning people at the hour I went. I couldn't contain my laughter about how many turtles where in that building lol.As I walked around I finally met Kyle in the back room where he was doing massage therapy on a client. He was very welcoming and showed me around the place. From there I went to the back room to change to get ready for my work out! I signed a liability form to ensure that they are not responsible for any injuries and so on. As I was putting my phone away, I was told to download an app to help keep record of my heart rate while I exercise. NEAT. Also He was so ever kind to let me borrow the apple charger due to my cell phone running low on battery.He made me do a series of upper body work out movements knowing about my past shoulder injury he made sure to go easy. Moving on, I performed the exercises given as he watched my form and recorded the kg used on the white board.The work out was great, he had me do:Facepullsseated cable rowsSome sort of resistant pulley machinea series of 4 different ab work on the vibrational machinechest press machineand to finish off; a core machine and a squat for 2 min on the power pad.ab”

“I have been coming here for over a year and a half and don't regret it one bit! The trainers are wonderful- so kind, caring, and push you to do your best. The facility is clean and such a welcoming atmosphere.”

“Literally the most perfect gym. Carrie is beyond amazing and the most motivational, inspiring person I’ve ever met. I’m so glad I’ve finally found my place !”

“Georgie loves this place. Such a great group of people. Mary has such a great and positive personality and Georgie has made a few new friends. So blessed to have been introduced to this facility by one of my good friends and her daughter. Thank you Ivette and Sydney. Also a big Thank You to Mary for her patience and compassion with these young adults and giving them strength and courage to overcome and challenge their fears.”

“The best boost for my day ahead. All the coaches make it a motivating workout and are always there to help you get it right! I also love that they are pro-America and honor our country!”

“Excellent team of instructors at Crossfit AMRAP. Safe routines and a very positive environment. If you have been thinking about it, take action and do it, you will not regret it!”

“Super clean gym, encouragement of cleaning up stations after one's workout, the small environment is a personal fave, feels homie and that the people genuinely coming in are focusing on themselves and their fitness journeys, manager's have always been easy to talk to”

“Whether it’s personal training or classes, coach Jesse is always positive, upbeat and happy to help - especially when it comes to giving pointers on good form and technique!Oh and his jams are always on point too, especially during the 5:30am classes! Really gets your day going!”

“So far, my experience with Inspyr Studio in Arlington Heights has been incredibly positive. The studio is exceptionally clean, which is essential for a comfortable and safe workout environment. The staff is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely engaged in the progress of their students. Their enthusiasm and motivation are contagious, making every session a rewarding experience. I love it!"”

The new renovations really brought Crosskicks Roselle to the next level. Thanks to my cross kicks fit fam for everything you do, the hard work, the training and coaching, and always being encouraging. Let's go!”

“Been to many gyms in my past and I’ve got to say this is the most clean, organized, and well maintenance gym. Not only is the owner friendly with his members but also truly cares about the equipment he provides to the community. He is constantly adding new equipment to the gym which is rare to see. With the well maintained machines/equipment, he also provides pre workout drinks and proteins shakes with many more for members to purchase on the go. If you need a great gym with the convenience of 24/7 hr availability, then this gym would be and great choice.”

“I’ve been to a lot of gyms throughout my fitness journey: Planet Fitness, XSport, Lifetime Fitness, even at home setups. None of these solutions have ever been helpful for me. Sometimes it’s anxiety, other times it’s motivation. The American Heart association recommends at least 30 minutes of vigorous activity every day to make sure your heart stays health. I don’t do that at all. With high cholesterol, diabetes, and more cardiovascular conditions running in the family, I need to figure out a solution that works for me.When my close friend posted on Instagram that he took his 300th class at OrangeTheory, I immediately asked him about it. At a first glance, OrangeTheory seemed very intimidating and daunting. My friend reassured me and told me to try it, but it didn’t make my anxiety any better. At the time of writing this review, OTF had a free class promotion going on.I decided that health is an investment and why not just try the free class? I have a lot to learn.I booked the nearest location near me and gave it a shot.The studio is beautiful, modern, and orange. Literally orange. From the lobby to the dimly lit orange fitness center. Everything here is ORANGE. Which totally fits the theme of the brand.The intake forms are very quick. Basic info, emergency contact, billing information. Once you’re done, you get a tour of the studio as well as a personal introduction from staff, coaches, and an explanation of how OrangeTheory works. This is going to sound weird, but OrangeTheory feels like a workout academy and we are all the students.At the end of the tour and explanation, we are given heart rate monitors and sent off into the studio. The coaches welcome everyone in with positivity and cheering. You then get sectioned off on either “the floor” (rowing/weights) or the “the treads” (treadmill, elliptical, bikes). Your heart rate monitor is connected to all the machines in the room. Walk up to a machine, tap your name, and you see your heart rate as well as what “color” you are. (Gray, Blue, Green, Orange, Red). Gray is heart at rest pace. Red is the heart at the highest performance in can go. Orange is the sweet spot. The more time you spend in orange, the more calories you burn, the more your body is working harder.Coaches never leave you alone fully. They are always talking to you through microphones. If you are on the treadmill, they will make you switch between different phases of pace. (Base, Push, All Out). The technology has “recommendations” of what these mean for incline and speed, and it’s up to you to decide what works for you. The treadmills allow for power walking, jogging, and running. It’s totally up to you for what you want to do. I do power walking.Floor exercises are guided. Coaches will demo each weight training exercise, and then they will put up a TV that shows looped videos side by side of what the exercises are doing followed by instructions like “repeat these until the coach tells you otherwise”. You are allowed to rest/refill water/bathroom anytime.The class switches groups halfway through, everyone is obligated to clean their machines with wipes. And then everything starts over again until the end of class, which ends with a recovery yoga stretch followed by community events.My OrangeTheory experience wasn’t what I expected at all. As someone with social anxiety, coming into this class scared me, but I had an amazing time. The gamification of weight loss, the “school/academy” structure and community, the stats and challenges you can see on the TV and app, literally everything here that you pay for is a streamlined and fun experience. I was very surprised by the experience here and I learned a lot in the process.Thank you OTF Roselle for the amazing experience.”

“I've been coming here for two years and can't sing their praises enough. From the moment I tried a class, I was greeted with an infectious enthusiasm and a sense of camaraderie - and it was enough to keep me coming back for more!The instructors are all knowledgable, fun, and motivating. They will push you safely within your limits, and guide you to make the most out of the hour long class. (Trust me, they will not skimp out on that entire hour!)One of the most unexpected perks of Jazzercise Crystal Lake is the sense of community. Everyone lifts one another up, creating an inviting atmosphere whether you're a beginner dancer or you've been hitting the floor for years.The music ranges from electronica to pop to punk. There's oldies but goodies interspersed with new music. I enjoy that the routines are fresh and keep me in the loop with today's music.Most importantly, this is a full body workout. In a session you'll get cardio, strength, and flexibility exercises. You'll be having so much fun, you might forget you're exercising!Overall - it's an experience. I highly recommend giving it a shot. You won't regret it!”

“The facility is new, clean with new equipment. I particularly like the gym that is surrounded by windows with a lot of natural light. The overall atmosphere is family oriented with a lot of activities for kids.”

“Amazing place with great people! Truly love it here, Don is a great trainer and all around good guy. The sessions are exhausting and I feel great afterwards. The other people that go here are amazing too, just a really solid group of people trying to better themselves, no judgment, just everyone working hard and uplifting each other”

“Awesome Facility. Bryan & Ryan do a tremendous job in keeping the members accountable & are always there to lend a hand during a session. I highly recommend everyone in the Roselle area come check these guys out!”
