A friend recommended this gym to me, and I’ve been hooked ever since! The atmosphere is electric, the community is incredibly supportive, and the workouts are both challenging and rewarding. I’ve already told countless people about it because it truly stands out. The coaches are fantastic—they take the time to explain each movement, answer questions, and motivate you to push your limits. Every session leaves me feeling stronger and more accomplished. I can’t wait to keep showing up and see how far I can go!

I LOVE THE DEN!!! The Reserve is where I’m getting the form correction that is critical to working through some old injuries. I’m so stoked to see what I can do once I’m there!! Thank you so much!!

After six classes at The Den, I am feeling so much stronger and can do so many more things today than I could a few weeks ago. The classes are challenging but you can go at your own pace. My 9 year old even said I am looking “buff” 🤣. Highly recommend!!

I’m a new Reserve member and couldn’t be happier with my decision to start! I’m in my sixties, and know the importance of a well-rounded workout program. I love cardio, but really needed to add strength training, and this is perfect for me! The trainers are so helpful and knowledgeable. I truly look forward to my Den workouts:)

Absolutely thankful to have found The Den. I have a neighbor who recommended it and it took me a long time to stop in since I have a demanding schedule. It is easy to schedule classes and it was nice to find a gym that I can bring my kids to. The instructors are motivating and encourage you to push out of your comfort zone. If I could fit 5 days a week in my schedule, I absolutely would. You will leave feeling stronger and more motivated to keep moving your body.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. The community here is second to none and the workouts challenge me in a way that keeps me motivated, not feeling like I can't keep up. The individual class program changes daily, so you're never bored - only challenged. The coaches know your name, and know your limits (and when to push them safely). It's amazing!

Such a fun fitness studio to be apart of! Love that workouts are consistent on the same days like Monday-upper, Tuesday-cardio and so on. It helps create that accountability to go more than one time a week and you get different instructors on different days so it changes things up! They also celebrate everyone’s wins whether it’s someones15th class or someone’s 400th class. Great community with great people!

Update-a year later and the Den is now a part of my daily morning routine! I cannot say enough positive things about The Den!

As a runner moving more towards full body muscle toning, I’ve never felt stronger, and constantly amazed when trying heavier weights.

The amount of positive energy and support is a reason to give it a try!

I recently joined The Den, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! The instructors are welcoming and support your journey whether you are new to the gym or a seasoned vet. They are knowledgeable and approachable to help with form or questions. They encourage you to push yourself daily.

The facility itself is very clean and inviting. another perk is they off kids camp is free, and something my kids look forward to on Saturday morning.

Overall, if you are looking for a new gym where you feel welcomed, motivated, and empowered by both the staff and supportive members The Den is it!!!

Updated: I have now been working out at The Den for almost a year and have completed 200 classes! It continues to be such a special community and place for me. Todd and his trainers have continued to push me and help me grow. I’m so grateful to be a part of this amazing place!

I’ve been working out at The Den for the past three weeks and have loved every class I have taken! All of the instructors are incredible - so helpful, approachable and encouraging. The “strength in community” motto really holds true. Todd and his team have created an amazing community where people feel welcome, supported and challenged. Grateful to have found this special place!

Love this place. Fun atmosphere that creates a little community and makes the workouts really enjoyable. The workouts can be a bit of a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure and are set up for wide spectrum of fitness levels. The trainers are wonderful- getting to know you quickly, and offering tons of support and motivation. Highly recommend popping in if you're looking to start your fitness.

Just joined this gym a few months ago and I have nothing but good things to say about it! I love the intense 50 minute blue room classes and to be working out with a group of people. They genuinely care about your health and fitness and are so involved with the community it’s wonderful. Once you go there once you’ll be hooked just like I am.

Great place. Just not for me. I did the “Reserve” semi-Private trial membership. The video assisted workout was kinda cool. To be honest, maybe I’m just old, but the volume and type of music played (too poppy and clubby) wasn’t the rock that I want when working out. Too heavy bass “spin class” for my Gen X, ex-jock meathead taste perhaps.😉
I have a lot to work on. The trainers were very good at identifying the areas on which I need to focus. Good place. Just not exactly what I was looking for.

I had heard about the Den from a client, who raved about it. I looked into and actually realized I know the owners from High School. Both, the nicest people you'd meet.

I took Karissa's Upper Body BUILD: Express class. It was a super convenient time frame but she WORKED US (in the best way). She was fantastic at instructing a large group of participants, but showed options, and closely monitored all the participants.

I love this place, the workout (hopefully planning to take more), the owners, and most importantly the mission behind The Den. It is 100% sincere in their mission to build a community and that we are all in this together, getting stronger and stronger.

The Den is the perfect workout for anyone looking to challenge themselves. Every class combines the energy and encouragement from group classes with the ability to modify every exercise/movement to fit your goals or abilities. The instructors make each class fun but challenging so you leave feeling like you got a great workout in. Multiple classes each day allow you to fit a workout in regardless of your schedule. After two weeks of class, my mom told me my arms looked bigger, which is the ultimate testament to any gym. The Den would have earned 5 stars solely on that.

I am not exaggerating when I say that The Den has been life changing for me. The community, the energy, and the work is exactly what I needed. Gone are the days of at home workouts with no motivation and little effort. The Den is unlike any other gym I’ve been a part of… and I’ve joined any and all in Chicago and NYC. Hands down, this is the best.

A big difference? The instructors! They know you - they know your name, they know your ability, and they push you. But not in a one-size fits all way, they push you based on where you are in your journey. They help you reach milestones, they surprise you when you realize you can lift heavier or jump higher. And they’re positive, energetic, and smart. They guide you on what to do and how to do it right.

The Den is group fitness for people who love group fitness and for those who don’t. You feed off the energy of all those around you, but you can focus on your own goals with zero judgement or comparisons from others.

And did I mention free child care?! You just need to try it, trust me!

I have been attending classes at the Den for the past month and really enjoying the atmosphere, instructors, and routine of the classes. Finding a motivational 530AM class has been Difficult.

The facility is very clean and well kept. The workout area is organized, well lit, and a good temperature. Honestly, my only peeve is that the water fountain fills water bottles super slow 🤷. The showers work well and are clean each time I use them.

I definitely would recommend you try this place out yourself!

So glad I found this place! Very clean, well maintained, and inviting. Everyone in the building is kind, welcoming, super helpful and encouraging, regardless of where you are in your fitness journey. I love the variety in exercises & equipment, we’re never doing the same things, and they always keep us on our toes. The childcare - suuuuch a gift. Definitely a place to consider if you want to get an amazing workout, while your kids have fun in the next room, and then leave feeling really great because you got it done :)

I’m such a fan of this gem of a gym! I’ve been active my whole adult life and have been a member of other franchise based gyms for the last 7 or so years. I was craving a change and stumbled across The Den - so happy I did! I am loving the strength based workouts that are focused on progressive overload. I also appreciate the variety and that no workout is the same. The instructors are awesome and I get excited to come in each day. All while supporting a local small business… can’t beat that. So happy to be a part of this community and to continue to measure my progress.

The Den fitness is so great! I was hesitant at first because I haven’t worked out in long time but they do make sure everyone at all levels can do it, and challenge those more experienced. The classes and instructors are motivating and caring. They notice the efforts of everyone on an individual level. My favorite is Christine! And the amazing thing is they have kids camp (childcare) while my husband and I are in a class together. My kids love going and have so much fun! Going to the gym as a family has become our routine. We are so glad we joined The Den!

What are you waiting for? THE DEN has literally changed my life. If you would have asked me 6 months ago if I enjoyed working out or sweating, I would have told you heck no. Now, I look forward to going to The Den. Why?

Where to start? First of all, this is not your typical gym. This is a community. The owners, Todd and Natalie, make sure of this. Immediately when you walk in you’ll notice smiling facing and a warm and welcoming Den leader. The fellow Den members are also incredibly kind. Again, this is a community. We are always cheering each other on and working towards our goals. What I love most about the community is that it is a judgement-free zone. Cant do burpees or a push-up or even a jumping jack? No problem! The leaders will give you modifications on every exercise based on your strength, comfort, mobility, athleticism, etc. Leaders come around during classes to help you on how to do your sets more effectively to maximize your workouts. They are your number 1 cheerleader!!

What else? This place is CLEAN. I have never thought I would like the smell of a gym but it always is smelling fresh here. Equipment is clean. Towels are provided for when you get that extra sweat on. Need to run to work after? No problem! The Den even has showers! Forgot your deodorant or hair tie? They have those too. Stinky breath? Yup- they even have mouthwash and mints. Their water-fill station has the best cold water for those times you forget to fill your water bottle pre-workout or you need more during your workout.

Let’s discuss the workouts. I have been going to The Den since November and am constantly surprised with new exercises. Every day has a different focus- some days are build days where 70% of the workout focuses on strength training and 30% is cardio. Other days are burn days where it is 70% cardio and 30% strength. When I say cardio, I don’t mean running on the treadmill either. The Den leaders have sneaky and fun ways of getting your heart rate up. Mondays focus on upper body build, Tuesday is total body burn, Wednesday is lower body build, Thursday is abs and core burn, Friday is Dropset Friday, Saturday is total body burn and Sunday is total body build.

KID CAMP! Why else is The Den SO AMAZING?! FREE child care. My kids love kid camp and beg to go. They always have a blast and now have a fun group of friends outside their school. Weekends have become a family event with me and my husband working out and kids hanging at kid camp.

The BEST part about The Den: THIS IS A SMALL BUSINESS! Family owned and operated. Todd and Natalie give back so much to the Barrington community through fundraisers, educational events, supporting other small business owners, supporting other small businesses in the area… it is such an AMAZING business.

So what are you waiting for?

Love this place and the instructors! I started going to the den in January and I’ve noticed so much positive change with physical and mental health. I love the structure and being challenged with the variety of work outs. I would highly recommend working out here if you thrive from community and planned workouts. I feel like I can show up, do my best, and I don’t need to take more time out of my day to plan what I am going to do at the gym - it’s all ready for me!

The classes are fun, always different, never the same routine, with music that sets the perfect vibe for each workout. The trainers encourage and support me, pushing me to reach new limits. I feel so fortunate to have found this community. Thank you Todd, Natalie, Maria, Christine, Jen, Courtney and AK!!

The Den isn’t just a gym or a workout; it’s a sanctuary for wellness. Not only has it transformed my physical health, but it’s also been instrumental in enhancing my personal wellbeing as a mom, wife, and friend. The impact goes beyond the numbers on the scale or the size of my clothes. The supportive community and diverse range of exercise have enriched every single aspect of my life. The Den has become a special place for my entire family, providing a welcoming, encouraging environment for all. Thank you for fostering such a positive space for the entire community. I couldn’t imagine my world without The Den, and the people that make The Den.

I took my first class as a guest. Five months before this class I had surgery on my arm so I had limitations. Maria, one of the awesome Den Leaders, helped me with alternative exercises. It was a great workout and I was hooked. The workouts are challenging and they offer different levels based on your skills. Todd and his team are great motivators and bring so much energy to the class. I’ve lost inches, I sleep better, and feel stronger.

Todd challenged me to take 12 classes in a month and it only took a week to realize I was hooked on The Den workouts. I have never been someone who enjoys lifting so this has been the perfect way to incorporate strength training and I am loving my results. The workouts never get old and the trainers are awesome! My older boys love the Kid Fit classes and my youngest loves the Kids Camp.

I have been a part of several health clubs over the years and have always prioritized working out in my daily routine.

I love supporting other local businesses so when The Den opened I had to check them out!

I did a three day trial but day one I knew I found my home. This is more than your normal gym. It’s a whole community made up of men and women unconditionally supporting and cheering each other on.

The Den leaders are supportive but also push you to meet your goals. If you want a place where you are not judged but supported and loved by a community working out with the best playlist check them out! ♥️

As an ex-collegiate athlete, finding something that is challenging can be difficult. I've tried many different gyms, home workouts, you name it - I tried it. Nothing really fed my competitive side. I found The Den just by googling workout gyms near me. I was intrigued just by the name alone! I signed up for the trial classes back in October 2023, after the first class (which was a HIIT workout), I was hooked and signed up for the year membership right away! Looking back, I do not regret it at all! I have gone to almost 90 classes since then and I have seen so many changes: physically, mentally and overall energy throughout the day! I am normally an introvert and like to stick by myself, but with the amazing trainers and fellow gym goers, I now look forward to working out with everyone! The trainers are SOO welcoming and challenging, even with the workouts having modifications to ensure you can do each movement, they want to see you challenge yourself as well as ensuring you are safe doing so. Have a minor injury? Let them know and they will give you alternate movements! They have certain days that are HIIT workouts and as well as upper/lower/core or total body focused days. I love them both but will have to say, I look forward to Wednesday which are lower body days (#ex-soccer player problems) - I love going to the gym everyday and have made so many new friends!!

Give The Den a shot and who knows, maybe I'll see you there! (:

Since the moment I joined Todd and his wife had made me feel welcomed and part of an amazing class..I have joined several gyms in the past and never had the experience of having the owners follow up with your progress and truly care that you are enjoying. I have practiced several types of trainnings and classes. This system is not only amazing total body workout, its also FUN! I was worried about doing exercise that is timed but in reality you can pace yourself to your own level always making the trainning be safe so no injuries which is important.

Trainers really design classes that are both challenging and well put together.

I am already enjoying more energy, blues are gone and I am feeling stromg again.

Totally recommend!!! You will not regret entering The Den

I stopped in person work outs after COVID and was exclusively using the Peloton app BUT I really missed the community of group fitness. My friend introduced me to The Den and I was instantly hooked.

I cannot recommend The Den enough!!
My husband and I took our first trial class and thought - ok we like this, maybe we’ll try it out for 6 months and try to go 2-3 a week. Now WE LOVE IT AND ARE ADDICTED!! We try to get there every single day and miss it when we can’t go!

The instructors are wonderful, the owners are thoughtful and caring, and the community is amazing. People are extremely friendly and welcoming.

What I love most about the classes is how approachable they are. There are always modifications to make the workout adjust to your needs. The instructors are available to help you find the perfect balance of what you need that day.

If you’re on the fence, signup for a free class! What do you have to lose?!

I really don't know where to start. I could spend an hour writing my full thoughts about this amazing place but, for YOUR benefit (I get the impression you have better things to do than read my review) I'll be brief.

1. The workouts are incredibly challenging and modifiers are usually provided to cater to different levels of current fitness. A 50 minute workout flys and the results speak for themselves (incredible).

2. The owners/staff are incredible and now, truly, are easily considered family friends (We love you Todd & Maria).

3. The other members are all so supportive and the "community" is almost to the point of being indescribable. This is not a Gym but more of a true community of like minded people that are all supportive, friendly and cheer each other on for our successes and our through our speedbumps.

So, that wasn't as short as I had intended so I will leave you with this. Try it.... What do you have to lose. At worst you waste an hour. At best you find a new set of amazing friends, build strength and endurance, and can literally watch the extra LBS melt away (if that is what you are going for... I'm sure if you wanted to eat cookies during class there would be no judgment). Seriously - so happy to have found this place. My entire family (including kids) look forward to our time at The Den.

The Den is an incredible place to accomplish your goals while finding lifelong friendships. You will always be encouraged and inspired here, and after every workout feeling SO good (and maybe a little sore ;)). No matter if you’re just starting out (like me) or an athlete or a fitness guru, or maybe somewhere in between - you belong here. The instructors are the greatest! It’s clean and welcoming to all, which can’t be found everywhere. If you have littles, they belong too! The Den has and continues to change my life and I’m so grateful for this fitness studio.

I primarily do yoga, running and a little weight lifting for my normal workouts at the gym but decided to try something new and LOVED this place. It was super easy to pick up on and you can just feel all the positive/supportive energy in there. I woke up the day after this workout feeling sore in the BEST way possible, you can really tell it’s a full body workout targeting every part. 10/10 workout.

My kids love the Kids Camp and I can workout knowing my children are having fun while being well taken care of. I have never been to a gym with a more encouraging and supportive fitness community. Not only do I I look forward to the workouts, but it is truly impossible to not feed off the energy and passion the instructors (especially Todd, the owner) bring each and every class. I’ve never felt stronger and more dedicated to my overall health and wellness. This place is truly one of a kind and I feel lucky to be a part of it!

If you’re looking for a fun, motivating workout, with genuine instructors that care about you getting the most out of the class- this is your spot. Classes are inclusive to everyone from those starting to get to the gym, to those wanting to challenge and push themselves further. They even have a kids camp on-site! I truly can’t say enough great things about The Den!

I am so happy and impressed about the Den fitness, and what you and your trainers are doing is so great !!!. Most women do not feel comfortable with their body after having babies or just gaining weight. I believe that women body is wonderfully and unique in every way. We carry a new life in our body and it has the right to have stretch marks and exceed weight. We invest the rest of our strength to take care of our appearance and our dream figure. You help us with this perfectly by motivating, cheering, and supporting us. Thank you for wringing sweat and fat out of me.Thank you for making me feel better and stronger every day. 💪❤️💃

A wonderful gem! Couldn’t wait for The Den to open its door. After attending my first HIIT class I was hooked. Absolutely love the positive energy of this place and the variety of work out routines. You can always count on an amazing work out and electrifying music. The owners care very much about your experience as they check in to see how your workout is (and customize as needed). I can feel my body getting stronger after each class.

I found my new fitness tribe this week! I am newer to the Barrington area and decided to give The Den a go and I was so impressed. I have 2 little kids that love the childcare which is very clean, interactive and safe. The classes are awesome for any ability. I am very out of shape right now after having my second baby and the instructors are very supportive of my needs to make sure I exercise safely. The vibe is awesome with great music, happy people, and clean equipment. I hope they like me here because I am never leaving! haha

To say that I am obsessed with The Den would be the understatement of the year. First of all, there is childcare for most class times! Second, the workouts are perfect for all skill levels, they are always different, the music is phenom and the instructors are not only qualified, but they really care about every person there. Finally, there are modifications available for every move and the lights are low so you're never left feeling watched or insecure. Cannot recommend enough!

I absolutely love starting my day at the Den! Their high intensity (but easy to modify) workouts keep me energized all day and after only 10 classes I am already seeing a difference in my strength and toning!

What an awesome addition to the area! You can tell Todd and The Den team put a lot of thought into the exercises each day and the classes go by quickly. There is a ton of variety between upper/lower body and more cardio focused (“Burn”) classes that leave you feeling it the next day. Class times fit any schedule - from early morning, mid-morning, and evening. As an equestrian, I look forward to building my strength at The Den to complement my time in the saddle!

Coming from a self-proclaimed workout junkie, The Den offers highly effective circuit-style HIIT training with cardio, weights, TRX, bands, and knowledgable instructors! Honestly feeling changes in my body in a few short weeks. The awesome studio lighting and music are icing on the cake. Really happy to have this facility in Barrington :)
