Chris taught a self-defense class that was super practical for everyday life. Fantastic for teens and adults! Highly recommended.

Chris the owner is one of the most passionate people I have met. When you walk into the location you are immediately brought in by how stunning and different it is but what keeps you is the trainers passion, expertise and encouragement throughout your fitness journey. I cannot recommend this gym and these trainers enough (and take it from someone who has been to many many gyms before)

Exactly the gym I was looking for! The owner, Chris, makes you feel very welcomed. The space is beautiful - clean, open and never crowded. My trainer, Lindsay, is the best - she is motivating and helpful. Love this place!

RPEC is the best gym I have worked out at…and I have gone to many! I workout with Chris, the owner, and the workouts are always fun, super challenging, and have already made a big difference in how I feel mentally and physically. The space is also beautiful. I highly recommend RPEC.

I recently visited RPEC and was impressed with the gym. The space is impeccably clean with state-of-the-art equipment and a unique vibe. The trainers and coaches seem knowledgeable about helping clients achieve their fitness goals. Marianna, one of the expert trainers, was welcoming and seemed highly skilled and passionate of her profession. I would highly recommend RPEC to anyone looking for an exceptional fitness experience.

I’ve been training with Lindsey twice a week for a few months and I’ve enjoyed the challenging workouts with her at RPEC, the cleanliness and overall uplifting vibe at the studio, and the flexibility. Thank you RPEC!!

I just worked out at the newest, coolest club in the North shore. Imagine you personal trainer is Basquiat! Well that's what it felt like. You have to go check it out. They have combined art with fitness to create an inspiring environment that makes me feel like I am working out my creative brain, while I am working out my hammies. And there is no riff raff. The place is clean and they have the nicest, cutest staff that really made me feel special. It feels like a new culture of fitness that is just right for me and my individuality. After working out, go have some healthy fuel and more culture at Billy Corigan’s (lead singer of Smashing Pumpkins) Madame Zuzus. Be there or be square. Toodles.

I have spent my entire life dreading exercise but inevitably ran into health issues and wanted to figure out how to make my lifestyle healthier in a sustainable way. Going to RPEC has completely changed my outlook on health and exercise. Linsey is absolutely incredible at tailoring your work out to your specific health needs and goals. As a bonus, the space is absolutely gorgeous!

RPEC is nothing like I’ve ever seen before in the area. It’s everything the Highland Park community needed and more. In this space, I feel empowered to create with my body and my mind. The duality of art and fitness create such a special energy that I would not be able to find elsewhere! I’ve already hit some of my personal best lifts in the gym and I see more to come!!

Such a unique space with a great overall feel to it. The furnishing and artwork give it a bright, welcoming feel, and the trainers that work there are absolutely wonderful as well. Everyone was incredibly kind, very instructive and intelligent, and encouraging. Beyond it just being a great place to workout, it is just a nice place to spend time and be around others.

As soon as you walk in you will know you are going to have a unique, and incredible workout experience. Reactive Uptown Training is more than a “good workout “, it is a feeling of you knowing you are getting an unparalleled experience from the best trainers and coaches. Reactive Training is more than just a gym or workout… it is a complete whole health experience that will help guide you through all your fitness goals and priorities.

This place is absolutely amazing. My friends and I look forward to each session with Chris. He is the best! It is 10000% worth checking out and joining. I feel stronger and better in just a few short sessions! Cannot speak more highly of the space and trainers. I would give it 100 stars if I could!

Had a great time at RPEC! Beautiful, clean, and a very organized facility. Loved walking in and seeing all the artwork on the wall. Made me feel like I wasn’t just at the gym, which is a great change of scenery.

Worked out at the new gym Reactive (RPEC) in Highland Park on Saturday. It is gorgeous. The gym is truly awesome and top notch. The experience starts as you walk in and look around it makes you ready to workout harder and feel good while you are doing it. A MUST

Very impressive new GYM/training center in downtown Highland Park. I have been training with Chis Falcon and his team at his other GYM in Glenview for a few years and I can’t complement them enough for the way they understand and treat me as a person and as a client. I am super excited that Chris have decided to go back to his roots and open another GYM in his home town of Highland Park. And as a Highland Park resident I am thilled that now we have a new State of the Art facility in the heart of our town.

I’ve been looking for a gym like this for a long time and haven’t found anything even close to what RPEC offers in this area. The equipment is sleek and high quality and the space itself is unique, welcoming, and motivating. If you’re looking for an un-self-conscious space to train in with accessible parking, this is the place for you!

First time being at this location today and yes! there is easily accessible parking. The gym space is clean and inviting and a variety of equipment and a PING PONG table. For a gym, it has a very unique vibe which I love. It’s hard to describe so every one should go get a workout in and check it out to see for themselves.

I’ve been with RPEC a little over a year now and I love doing my personal training with them! I trust them to not only make me better but also to keep me strong to prevent injuries from my contact sport.

RPEC provides Highland Park a place someone looks to change/continue their health and/or athletic goals. RPEC provides a vibe that is hard to replicate, having staff that really do care about their craft. They really do go the extra mile and make you feel like family!

Reactive Highland Park is the most beautiful gym I’ve ever seen—coming from someone who has spent their entire adult life in training centers. The location is incredible, with abundant parking and healthy eating options in the surrounding area. With every piece of equipment you could imagine, the space is also impeccably clean, and aesthetically pleasing. In addition, Chris is an expert trainer, who makes everyone feel welcome and at home. No matter what your fitness goals are, Chris will have a solution.

I worked out last week at the Reactive gym in Highland Park. The upscale equipment along with the beauty and organization of the space was so impressive. It was absolutely gorgeous from the artistic walls to the floors. The trainers were all very friendly and immediately introduced themselves upon my arrival and made me feel so welcome! I definitely am looking forward to my next training session!
