I absolutely love Strikefit Chicago classes! Within the hour you'll get an intense workout, have fun, work off stress, and gain great skills on the heavy bag. The instructors pace classes for all levels so if you're considering it, come in. You'll love it!

This is a great work out combining cardio, strength training, and self-defense training. Great instructors and great classmates motivate you to give your best. IMHO no better work out can be found. Try Strikefit – You won’t be disappointed.

Listen, we all have days where we just need to hit something, and Strikefit is the answer. The instruction is clear and thorough, and most classes are small enough that anyone who is struggling can receive individual attention. I’ve never gone to a class with an instructor who wasn’t qualified, patient, and dedicated. Not only do you learn new skills, but each class provides a solid workout for anyone looking to get in better shape. You are able to constantly improve because classes are designed to push you to your personal limit, rather than being the same for everybody. Also, and this is key: you get to take out all your frustrations on a heavy bag, and it’s the best thing in the world. TLDR; basically: 10/10.

Who wouldn't want to hit a heavy bag as hard as possible after a long day? It could be quite therapeutic. StrikeFit is an intense combination of strikes on a heavy bag and exercise movements. If you're looking for a new workout or accompany an existing workout, StrikeFit is for you. There is no prerequisite for it, just the obligation that you're going to work hard. The instructors are great and are constantly encouraging you to reach the finish line.

The workouts are intense but well worth it. All instructors are very nice. Every time I leave class I feel great. If you like an awesome workout this is the place.
