Member Testimonials
Coaches are great, very encouraging and accommodating.
Recovering from a spinal fusion I liked that the machines and the one on one trainer keep you in correct posture so as not to do more harm.
I enjoy knowing how strong my body is. Knowledgeable, friendly and encouraging staff make it a pleasure. So glad to have it as part of my weekly routine.
Ease of getting a time slot using the app.
Friendly and caring staff.
Location.
If you are looking for a place that emphasizes strength training look no further than the Exercise Coach in Palatine. You will find state of the art strength equipment which the coaches adjust to challenge you but not over do it at each session. After a few months, they can provide you with reports on your gains in strength. The 20 minutes sessions twice a week work!
The Exercise Coach is staffed with experienced and certified personal trainers/coaches who specialize in strength training. They are always available to provide workout plans, one on one training, and guidance to perfect your form and help progress towards greater strength.
They always greet you by name and are very positive throughout the session. If you believe strength can only be improved the old fashion way by spending hours in the gym this is not the place for you. It is the most efficient and painless way to increase your strength.
Friendly & results focused.
I have seen improvement in my strength in a very short period of time.
The staff is friendly and encouraging, but also very real about everything. It's unreasonable to expect overnight results, and their approach helps "slow and steady" progress which is the most sustainable way. The studio is clean, the hours are quite accommodating and flexible, and the location is ideal for me.
The trainers
I like the guidance from the Coach. Very helpful!
Trainers are very personable, ask how you’re feeling today and don’t push you if you are having pain in a certain area.
I go once a week and I’m able to get in and out of there within 20 minutes and that feels like a great workout for the day
Friendly, professional staff who take a personal interest in my fitness. A very well run studio.
Small group of people at a time and only 20 workout.
The one on one attention and guidance
The prompt and on time scheduling
The certainty that I'll be out in 20 min
The stronger muscles I'm gaining ! ! !
When I come in I don’t have to think about what to do. It’s all planned for me. I don’t have to adjust the machines, since I’m short, I had to do that at other places, it’s all taken care of. I do what I’m told and 20 minutes later I’m on my way home.
Clean, Comfortable, Friendly. Staff knowledgeable
