Member Testimonials
Pleasant and positive environment.
The different trainers I’ve had have been fabulous. I do know I’m gonna have to do a lot more in between to get to the point I wanna be at. I’ve only gone four times so I have not seen any results other than it intrigues me with the way these machines work. I like that I can get in and schedule in the morning. I am not an afternoon or evening person to work out. The device is clean it’s never crowded and again the staff is fantastic.
People working there and their attitude
I've been going to the Exercise Coach in Lake Zurich for 8.5 years. The terrific trainers, the state-of-the-art equipment, the spotless premises, and the very accessible location ALL make the 20 minute resistance work out, 2x a week, an easy decision to make. And you won't sweat! Although you may if you choose to stay for an optional cardio workout on one the various resistance cardio machines. I like the 5 minute HIIT option on the resistance bike (it works both arms and legs, hard). Nice. I should do a second round.....
The trainers all have extensive training for proper form and usage of all the machines, plus for their new Stretch (feels really good) program. They all have Great Personalties, so the 2 minutes of pain at each machine only feels like 1 minute of pain. I'm kidding! However, 'no pain, no gain'. Right?
I started at the Exercise Coach when I was 66 yrs old and am 75 now. I have 'great guns', thanks to Dave and all the other great trainers. You can also. You're never too old, and certainly never too young, to start. Try it!

Proximity to my home, easy parking close to facility. 20 minute work out is ideal, and the results are apparent.
I am grateful for the tremendous atmosphere created by the entire ownership, management and coaching staff. You can feel the good vibes at every visit and truly makes every work out a succes
Good non-computerized equipment available and personable trainers.
Clean, modern, friendly
I have been a member of the Exercise Coach since 2018, and am committed for life. They have machines and technology you won’t find anywhere else, and a knowledgeable team of trainers that customize my experience based on what my needs are. I’m a huge fan!
The coaches, the vibe, the personal attention.
Very agreable. Good trainers.
Efficiency of workout and trainers
Great coaches.
Friendly staff and I’m always able to book sessions that fit my schedule.
Each and every trainer is skilled, friendly, encouraging and yet just pushy enough to persuade me to give 100% effort. I never feel “judged.” Appointments are easy to schedule, start and finish on time. The environment is clean, upbeat with equipment designed to work out every muscle group. Before starting at Exercise Coach, I dreaded exercising. Since coming here, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I look forward to each workout. I know I am much stronger, physically, than I was a year ago. It’s just a great place.
Provides a quick, concisive, complete workout & less than 5 mins from my office.
Excellent training program with top notch staff to help you reach your goals
April is a great addition to the Northbrook location. She gets to know you and tailors your workouts to you. Not just going through the motions. Daevon is wonderful too.
Professional, clean, convenient and all the trainers are hand-picked by the owner. We seriously enjoy working with each one of them. Scheduling is very flexible. If something comes up in our busy schedule, we can easily modify our workout time or day. The results speak for themselves. We have become much stronger and in addition, have lost weight. It's very difficult while you're there but it's only 20 minutes two times a week. One of the trainers once told us that you can do anything for 20 minutes (except hold your breath under water) and it's true. The trainers push you to the limit but then it's over and you can get out of there for a few days to rest and repair. I've personally been at The Exercise Coach for years and now my wife and I go together. It's become a way of life that we plan on sticking with for good.
Love the atmosphere very professional Bruno and his staff are always accommodating. Love going there every week.
I like the basic concept of slow resistance strength training! But in a complex mix of challenges the professional focus of expert guidance is awesome for success!
And I enjoy the cordial support I have received for actual results!

Always clean, just a few people at a time so no wasted time waiting for machines, no annoying "mega jock" guys spending an hour on a machine I need for 4 minutes, coaches listen and adapt for my various age related special needs, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. I hate exercise, this place makes it fast and do able!
I like that the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable and interested in my well being.
