Took money from my Cryo package bought across the street closes shop then moves a few blocks down and doesn’t call back and r reply to emails to see if money already spent can be used on services at new place he set up. Avoid doing business with this person.

Additional Info:

1st) This is Google Business and NOT Yelp.

2nd) You are down the street as its easy to see in Google Maps and from our image you are not directly across the street (Google Maps you can clearly see this) and image of us walking to the other location noted. Emails and phone calls also attached.

Phone call from original cryo location to schedule appt. This is where we were notified acquisition occurred and we could get store credit for current services since Cryo was no longer offered.

Called that same number and left voicemail for a call back to discuss the store credit for the services.

Sent email through form on Cryo website requesting information.

Sunday sent email to the email address posted on new locations door - no response

Really loved this gym! Very clean and nicely laid out to make it feel spacious! Got to do a personal training session with Morgan and she was awesome. Did a great job of assessing our workout needs and letting us jump right in with encouragement, guidance and motivation. I worked out that day with two girlfriends and we will definitely be going to see Morgan again!

I recently had the pleasure of attending a group training session with Morgan. We were eased into our workout with a nice warmup where Morgan assessed each of our fitness goals.
The workout itself was challenging but not in a miserable “im dying” way. Morgan’s workout targeted muscles that I often neglect in my solo workouts. She also made sure to pay attention to each individual and was super friendly and personable.

Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the establishment itself. The gym is super clean and the space didn’t seem crowded at all even though a few other trainers were there with clients. I highly recommend checking out training sessions with Morgan, she is the perfect trainer for small groups as she’s able to connect with each person instead of lumping the group as one. We even had our own private room with weights and dumbbells which I LOVED.

Worked out with Morgan and she was phenomenal! Very mindful and attentive while curating a great personalized workout. Will definitely work out with her again! The facility was also very nice, clean and bright.

I have always struggled with getting bored of the same routine in my workouts and it ultimately leads to inconsistent practices. The training team at Jim Karas keep my workouts interesting and enjoyable! This has lead to consistency in my workouts and makes working out fun and exciting! I have made so many gains and am forever grateful! If you are looking for results while at the same time finding a new love in working out, you have come to the right place! Thank you Jim Karas and team!

I have struggled to meet my fitness goals since the pandemic and was finally able to make progress with Jim's team after several false starts on my own. The trainers here are super professional and have held me accountable throughout this journey. I feel stronger and healthier having been pushed beyond what I thought were my limits in strength training. The trainers that I've worked with are meticulous about proper form, which was extremely important to me given some of the injuries I have had in the past. I have even been able to overcome some loss of strength due to a neck injury with slow, and incremental focused exercises. I am so grateful to Jim and his team.

I've had many trainers in my life. Recently, I was introduced to Jim Karas and Ali. It's very refreshing to work with people who actually care about my results, and who are very knowledgeable about fitness & wellness. The entire JK staff has been first class and I highly recommend checking them out.

Been working out with Jim Karas for at least 10 years. Katie Rondeau is the best female trainer there. She offers incredible workouts and FST II certified.

I've been training with Katie for a couple of years and really can see the progress. Katie is extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and reliable - which is key if you're meeting in early a.m. I would recommend Katie for training and FST.

I love working out with Adam Franklin at Jim Karas Intelligent Fitness & Wellness—he's amazing. The whole setup, the Karas team, and environment have been great for me through the pandemic and after. Adams's flexibility, teaching/training style plus his knowledge in fitness, recovery, muscle, joints, and massage therapy have been just what I needed—not only for my schedule but for my injuries and lifestyle. I love the Karas Intelligent Fitness team, the Infrared sauna, and the team at Chicago Cryo—it has been beneficial to my health and wellness during what is the craziest time in my company startup and founders journey.

I started my relationship with the Jim Karas Intelligent fitness family with the Chicago Cryospa, and because of the wonderful service and health benefits I saw I am now a training client and have discovered FST (facial stretch therapy) with Katie. FST is amazing and if you haven't tried it, definitely do!

Jim Karas Personal Training is worth every minute and every penny.

I am a client at the Westmont, IL location. As a 61 year old female Ironman, I have experienced many levels of athletic trainers. After an almost 5 year hiatus from racing to launch a new business (which has necessitated 85K miles of driving in 14 months) I found myself struggling to regain my past strength and endurance. With another Ironman on the books, fortunately I heard an interview with Jim Karas and decided to try his techniques by investing in training with his coaches.

It was the best move I have ever made in my racing career.

Everything about this operation is extremely professional, yet warmly personal. The coaches have impressive backgrounds and educations. They are focused on the client and research/deliver personalized programs that can be taken home and reinforced out of the gym.
Instead of competing with each other, they work as a team - each bringing unique strengths
to the training palette. From what I have gleaned, not only does the Karas corporation constantly provide professional development for their coaches, the individuals themselves are hungry to stay on top of all new developments/innovations in the fitness field - not an easy task!

The actual physical gym in Westmont is clean, efficient and well maintained - not to mention very accessible with free parking! The choreography of the coaches is a constant flow of utilizing the best tools for their clients while making sure everything is ready for the next coach to pick up and use at any time.

I highly recommend training with the Jim Karas team for anyone who is serious about seeing results. We are lucky to have them in the Chicago area.
