My sister and I recently started training with Alyssa and we love it. She listened to our needs and what our goals are and has created a plan that works for us. We look forward to each session, along with training we plan to start Cryo as well. She's the best!!

The best kickboxing boot camp workout I've done. Adam was very helpful and an encouraging instructor. Our workout was pretty challenging where my core was cramping. Great place for beginners. Definitely looking forward to going back again.

I’ve been doing Cryo facials with Alyssa and the results were amazing. Alyssa listened to my concerns and provided the best services to reach my goals. The elasticity and texture of my skin has improved so much. I highly recommend any Cryo services with Alyssa, she is very knowledgeable and knows her stuff to help reach your goals.

I’ve been doing personal training with Adam 3x a week for last 6 mos and can’t say enough positive things! The workouts are always diff and tailored to my goals and I’ve seen a dramatic improvement in my strength and overall fitness level. Im getting ready for my wedding in July and Adam has been the exact motivation and accountability partner I need to ensure I look and feel my best! I genuinely look forward to each session!

It has been a few years since I posted a review of SPORT Fitness so I wanted to provide some updated accurate information for those looking to up their fitness routine. This is the absolute best gym ever in Chicago and anywhere and best of all you are supporting a local business rather than a corporate gym. Adam Dicker, the owner, is hands down the best personal trainer, coach, workout instructor there is. I have worked out with him for 3 years now and the results have been incredible, I lost over 30 lbs from when I started and have the strength, muscle, and build that I thought I could only ever dream of from when I began. The other trainers here including Tom, Katie, Matt, among others are fantastic and if you are looking to learn a new skill whether it be strength training, boxing, Muy Thai or Jiu Jitsu you will learn it here and enjoy it immensely in the process. The new Elston location is beautiful with an aesthetically pleasing studio offering any equipment you would want to have the best workout . All in a super clean, uncrowded, and supportive environment. I can't say enough great things about Adam, as he has helped me so much with self-confidence, pushing me to the limits of a tough workout that I would not be able to do on my own, and given me the build I dreamed of. He is also the most genuine, nicest guy ever creating the perfect balance of friendly, but tough in the workout so you get the results you want. 11/10 recommend this gym, Adam, and all the trainers here. It has become my favorite place and second home.
