Outwork Fitness has helped me tremendously for the past 6 months. They've helped me mentally, physically, and emotionally. I came to Outwork feeling really defeated and Jourdan in particular has helped bring me back to life. The workout plans and environment is absolutely wonderful and you can tell that the trainers care about you 100%. I can't recommend this place enough!

This gym is a place like no other. The staff is so knowledgeable, helpful and welcoming, but the members are as well. No matter who you are or what level of fitness you come in at, they make you feel like part of the family. You don’t come here looking for a cookie cutter gym experience, you come here looking for real results.
Cleanliness 10/10
Staff 10/10
Programming 10/10
So, 30/10 would recommend

I started out at Outwork when I was a high school athlete, I stayed through college and am currently still an outworker! 10 years and I couldn't imagine myself joining another gym. It's almost like a family, everyone is super helpful and want to see you succeed, not only the grade A trainer but all my other workout pals as well! Give them a shot, you won't regret it.

I have been working out for the better part of my life, at numerous gyms, but nothing compares to the atmosphere created at Outwork Fitness. Health & Fitness have been a passion of mine for a long time, one that I really wanted to make my career, though I had been punching the clock in the corporate world for years and was worried about the transition.
I remember emailing Mike Spagnola, the Founder & Owner of Outwork. Basically word vomiting about how much I wanted to change my life and do something I was truly passionate about, and see if he had any openings for a recently certified coach.
Mike took a chance on me, but saw the potential in my coaching abilities and believed in my drive to want to take people to a place physically and mentally where they feel truly happy, healthy & strong.
I have been working with Outwork for a little over a year now, and it fuels my soul. The energy in the gym, the connection and culture are palpable. I can promise you will never leave that gym without feeling seen, heard, understood and with a plan to take your goals, make them their own, and get to work.
Love my Outwork Family!

This gym and it’s owner saved my life. I was a 400 lb type two diabetic and if I didn’t change my lifestyle I would have ate and drank myself into an early grave. I’m 270 today and my diabetes is under control. Outwork literally saved my life.

I started at outwork a year ago after having a baby. The workouts are geared to your needs and the coaches adjust movements for past injuries to strengthen them. The coaches are also very kind, adaptable, and make your time there enjoyable. I’m now back to my pre-baby weight and I’m lifting heavier than I ever thought I could. I’ll never go anywhere else!

The coaches at Outwork are truly a rare breed. They want you to be healthy, confident and strong, not overly focused on how many calories you eat or how much you can lift. They never push you on an injury, they find ways to accommodate and strengthen. They preach a lifestyle and it's awesome. They welcome everyone of all ages, sizes, genders and it feels like a family. I cannot say enough about Mike, Matt, Alexa and the rest of the Outwork staff. If you're looking for a gym that is truly different, and teaches you how to change not only your body, but your entire lifestyle and outlook on health and fitness, this is your place.

Prior to having children, I enjoyed working out. As I got older and became more self conscious after gaining weight from having kids, having trouble finding a routine that doesn’t bore me and not knowing where to start. I decided it was time for a change, I never envisioned myself signing up for one-on-one sessions, but it’s the best decision I’ve made. My mood has improved as well as my energy levels. I can feel the improvement week after week. I’ve built up some endurance and now walk on days I’m not at Outwork, and hopefully will start running again. The staff are wonderful, professional and supportive. I could go on and on. Overall, i highly recommend joining, or at least having a consult to see what Outwork is all about!

OUTwork Fitness is hands down the best, most impactful, gym around. I have been working out consistently since I was 18, and I have never experienced real growth and positive change in my overall health since joining Outwork Fitness in 2019.
The staff at outwork meet you where you are, understand where you want to be, and create a plan that will get you there and support you every step of the way.
I am insanely grateful for Mike and his team for understanding my goals and for being my biggest supporters throughout my unique journey.
As life continues to change, so will my fitness goals. With the support of Mike and his team, I know I will always have people in my corner supporting me every step of the way.

Outwork fitness is more than a gym for me. It's a safe place. I have been a member for about a year, I could not have made a better choice. The trainers are incredibly kind, understanding and knowledgeable.
I came in with a "bad back" and "bad knees" I used to not be able to lift more than 10 lb without herniating a disc in my back. Or stand up from my desk without my knees screaming at me.
I can now do those things and so much more with no pain. They really know what they are doing. I can go on and on with more things I love about this place ! I'm an Outworker for life !!

Outwork has been a life saver me. I’ve been to many trainers in my life and I’ve never felt so supported not just from the trainers but from the people who workout at this gym. Mike the owner has cultivated an environment of inclusivity which helps others to feel comfortable. My experience has been life changing as I’ve become healthier, more confident and have learned how my body functions. I’m down over 80lbs since I started. I have become more flexible and stronger with my body. I have never felt better and don’t know where I would be without the Outwork family!

Outwork is so much more than just a gym or a personal training session. When you walk in the door you are greeted with friendly, professional, caring people ready to help you become a better person both inside and out. I have been very lucky to have met the Outwork community and hope to continue to grow with them! Highly recommend!

When I started at Outwork it was three months after having a baby. I was nervous and scared but I knew I was ready to focus on my health. I really only had one goal: to feel better about myself. Now, I'm close to hitting 1 year of training and can honestly say I that feel stronger and more confident. I have created new goals and achievements because of my coaches and time training. My journey is a work in progress but I know I wouldn't be where I am today if I was at any other gym. Outwork gave me a sense of community and belonging that I wasn't expecting. I look forward to going there, I know I'm in good hands with knowledgeable and caring coaches who will help me become the best version of myself!! I'm proud to be an Outworker!

Can't find a better gym in atmosphere, professionalism and coaching than Outwork Fitness. I've been a customer for many years and credit my fitness education, positive mind and body results from Mike and the great coaches on staff. When looking for a gym in the northwest suburbs I can't recommend Outwork Fitness more!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Here’s why:
The coaches listen. This is such an over looked benefit in my opinion. I’ve been able to gain so much strength since I’ve started training here, all in the midst of some annoying shoulder issues. And guess what.. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and my shoulder irritation is gone. That wouldn’t have been possible had they not listened, not adjusted when needed and not challenged me weekly. Yet they always do those 3 things.
I could continue with a list of other things I love but just check it out for yourself. Go to their website and book a consultation. See if it’s the right fit. If it’s not, they will be honest and recommend someplace else that may be better suited.

I noticed a majority of my reviews are negative, when coming up with a deserving place for a positive review, this was the first that crossed my mind. Great environment, professionals that create a custom program for each member based on their current abilities. The programs are goal oriented and provide noticeable results quickly and consistently.

This gym is unique. The environment is a welcoming community without the cultish vibes. The team of trainers combine to make a well-rounded source of knowledge, support, and motivation. More importantly, the trainers get to know all of their clients' needs individually. They are genuinely good people to be around.
Personally, I had not stuck with a gym or fitness plan longer than 3 months in my life.....ever! I will be hitting the year mark in the next few months. They keep you coming back! I am stronger and healthier than I have been in years. Thanks Outwork Fitness! 💪💪

I’ve been working out at Edge for almost a year and I love the atmosphere. You’re not just randomly wondering around a sea of machines. The trainers demonstrate everything and watch to ensure you’re doing everything correctly. They’re always ready with a substitute move when something does not feel good. I’m almost 60 years old and I’m stronger than ever thanks to Edge.

I look forward to each workout. I've noticed an increase in my health (physical AND mental). The workouts are always varied so they don't become boring and the technical knowledge Matt shares is educational--good form, knowledge as to why we're doing this move and what it is supposed to do, etc.

Edge Fitness for me has met every goal I set out for myself these past 6 months---to get stronger, lose some weight, concentrate on a stronger Core, and to enjoy myself with others while doing it...Edge has hit the mark for me and I am forever grateful to the Trainers, the owner, and the front desk personnel that are all so helpful, friendly and make you instantly feel a part of a Team. You are never a stranger at Edge, or feel you're on display or even have to compete with others, the people who work out there are all supportive, on the same team, and frankly in a pretty Happy state while working hard with you and others. There are also group activities that come up from time to time to get involved in both at and away from the Edge Center if you so desire for either more physical activity or sometimes just good general socialization fun if you choose to. Please, give it a try, they'll work with you in the very beginning one on one, get you acclimated and familiarized with everything and then decide if you want to join in---which I'm sure you will. I am so very glad to have been a part of Edge Fitness and the wonderful employees and fellow "OutWorkers" I work out with there. Thanks much...Bill Regan

Edge is one of the best places I’ve ever gone to workout! I started going here when it first opened, but moved away for a few years. Once I moved back I got signed up the day I got back that’s how much I missed it! I never found a gym that compares when I didn’t live close! I’ve seen it grow in so many ways, all for the better, and all driven around what’s best for the clients. It’s not just a gym to me either, it’s a safe place to meet new people and help each other progress towards your goals.

I've belonged to a bunch of 24 hour gyms where no one cares if you show up or not, as long as they get your money each month. Places where the only time a trainer approaches you is to give you some scripted line to sign you up for a cookie-cutter-template workout that they "coach" you through.
This is not that place. Not only do the coaches and the owner care about the people here (as one of the trainers, I can vouch for this personally) but the gym is a magnet for good people that you will enjoy working out with. AND on top of that, everything is individualized so you'll never be asked to do something that will put you at risk of injury.
Basically, this gym is unlike any other gym you've been to, and will make you actually ENJOY going to get a workout in.
Come check it out yourself and see.

This June will be my 2nd year at Edge. I can not say enough about this wonderful gym and the experienced trainers. They have intense programs that will kick your butt you will definitely walk out of there after a workout feeling accomplished and spent! Everything from nutrition to modifying a workout or even answering any question you might have they are glad to accommodate you. They care about each and every client and that is why this is my gym.

When I joined Edge a year ago, I had no idea what a life changing experience was about to take place. I really enjoyed working out, but previous injuries had left me hesitant to "give it my all". Enter in the AMAZING trainers at Edge Fitness...and thank goodness they are there! They TRULY care about their members! They want you to succeed. They want you to live your healthiest life, and they want you to reach your goals. I appreciate their expertise, and how they stress safety and proper form. There are many gyms you can join, but I guarantee you, you won't be sorry when you walk in the door of Edge Fitness. You will be grateful to be a part of the Edge Family!

I have been attending Edge since September 2016. As soon as I walked in the door, I felt welcomed and part of the family. For the first month, I began training individually with a trainer and it was so helpful for me to get a good understanding of the workouts and my form. The crew at Edge has helped me work with my chronic pain issues so that I don't need to miss a workout. I've attend sessions regularly and I've seen amazing changes that I didn't expect; most significantly, I'm approaching my 70lb weight loss mark since joining! I'm stronger, healthier, and more content in my skin than I have been in a LONG time. LOVE EDGE!!! If you're still on the fence, come in a hang out with us. We're a pretty awesome family that you didn't know you needed!

The BEST way to workout ever! Edge is group fitness, personal training, nutrition counseling, goal setting and encouragement all wrapped into one nice package. The coaches make sure your form is correct, encourage you along the way and keep switching things up so you never get bored. Class sizes are small compared to health club fitness classes and Edge classmates are friendly and fun. Edge has something for everyone, from the serious athlete to a mom like me trying to get fit and in shape. I look forward to every workout and I despised going to the "gym" before.

I definitely recommend training at Edge! I wasn't sure what to expect going in but after just one session I was hooked! The fit camp sessions are awesome...small group personal training makes an intense workout go by quickly! Everyone, from the owner, trainers, and other members are very welcoming and a tight knit family! cannot say enough great things...Love it!

This place is absolutely amazing. I have seen a huge improvement in my strength and endurance. Edge is also a fun place to workout and I have made some friends in the process. I don't dread getting up at 5am for the early class because I know it is going to be fun and a great workout! The coaches are awesome....they really make this place feel like a family and they are always willing to sit down and chat about any questions or concerns.

This is more than just a gym; it is truly a family. The entire family works together to ensure everyone achieves their desired results. I have been a member for just over 3 months and have noticed significant results and I know that I have a long way to go, but I know that the coaches are there to ensure I reach those results. Plus the big thing is that they make it a fun place where you learn proper techniques whether you are an athlete, avid lifter, or just a beginner the team is there to walk you through the steps and cheer you on and do it safely. I have worked and worked out at other gyms, but no other place compares to Edge!!

I love training at Edge. Before I was just a runner and although that was great I wasn't strong at all. Edge gives a great balance of making you strong in the right way. It's like having a personal trainer/motivator to help you do all of the moves correctly and reach your goals in the best way possible. I would recommend Edge to anyone. Don't take my word for it, Try it out!

Edge is a great place to reach your personal health and fitness goals! Mike is a great trainer and is dedicated to educating himself and others on all aspects of fitness. I can tell when talking with him about health and fitness topics that he has done his research. I have gotten so much stronger since I started training there and I have fun while doing it. Come check it out, you won't regret it!

First of all this place gets 5 stars!!! I absolutely love Edge Strength & Conditioning! I must say though, that I was very skeptical when it came to joining. I was a member at another gym, and met with a personal trainer at 6:30 a.m. twice a week. I thought this was the way to go and I continued because of the relationship that grew between my trainer and I. Unfortunately, she left for another gym further away so I panicked!! I came to Mike and said that I was interested again, but still nervous. I came to the orientation, and even stayed for their training session that same morning and I fell in love! It was more than I expected and much better too! My techniques were all way off, and Mike has taken the time to help me correct it. I have a long way to go to perfection, but I am on a great road getting there. I joined the Edge FitCamp and thought I would hate the fact that it wasn’t one on one personal training, but I became addicted right away! The other members are there to support you and help you and Mike is always there to lend a hand whether you have questions, or you want to try something new! I no longer am afraid and I now look at Edge as my extended family! This is the place to go for fast and great results! We are a team and we all look forward to hearing others success stories and sharing our own. So come on, join the Edge family!!!
