The Gym Experience

Client Testimonials

Jeff's Success Story

I've been training with Gary at Balanced Fitness in Northbrook for nearly four years. Gary is incredibly professional—always responsible, on time, and prepared for every session. He always make a slot for me and finds a way to fit me in to the schedule. His guidance has helped me make significant progress with weightlifting and overall fitness. Best part - it's completely one on one and no one is training at the same time.

Amy's Transformation

I'm grateful every day that I found Gary and Balanced Fitness. Never one to stick with a workout routine, I now show up regularly and really look forward to it. Gary customizes my workout and has not only helped me get stronger, fitter and more determined, but has really helped my overall well being. He's created a safe place to work out and motivates without fanfare. Gary is patient and very flexible when schedule changes come up. His willingness to accommodate life's unexpected turns and still fit me in is appreciated and I cannot recommend Balanced Fitness highly enough.

Mitch's Journey

I am very fortunate to have found Gary and Balanced Fitness. It had been years since I last lifted weights and I was looking to drop some weight. Gary continues to exceed my every expectation. My waist is inches smaller, I am decidedly stronger, and I have a much learner appearance overall. Plus, I have achieved these gains despite a serious shoulder injury (non-gym/exercise related). He customized my workouts to keep me safe and motivated. Gary is not afraid to experiment with new exercises &/or equipment to optimize my results and he is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy & fitness. I have achieved far more than I expected and I cannot recommend Gary at Balanced Fitness enough to anyone (of any age or ability) looking for a Personal Trainer.
