Hustle Fitness — Attraction in Lake View Township

I can't say enough good things about this place. Chris and Josh are two of the most knowledgeable, passionate, and professional trainers in the city.

I think what really sets Hustle Fitness apart from other gyms is just how intelligently Chris and Josh deal with each client's goals-- and base their training in proven, scientific methods. The workouts and instruction are very detail oriented; there's a focus on form to make sure that you're progressing safely and efficiently. That said, don't expect to have an easy workout. The workouts are very challenging, but never to the point where you feel like you're just spinning your wheels. Chris and Josh are aware that people can hit physical plateaus and try to keep things unique and fun.

With that in mind, it's no surprise that these dudes get great results. I go to Hustle for improved athletic performance (MMA and grappling), and over the past couple of years have seen massive improvements in my stamina, strength, and perhaps most importantly, recovery after a hard workout. It's a testament to just how knowledgeable and skilled Chris and Josh are that after I finish a workout, they train somebody over 50 looking to lose weight, or a marathoner trying to improve her running form. No matter what your reason is for working out, Chris and Josh seem up to the challenge to helping you reach your goals.

Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention how the gym's welcoming and friendly culture makes working out at Hustle an enjoyable experience. Group classes are offered, which helps build a strong sense of community among the members, and Chris and Josh are truly interested in getting to know their clients. Hustle regularly offers charity workouts and additional nutrition seminars, which is just the cherry on top, and reflects the holistic view Chris and Josh take toward health.

There's a reason not every trainer in Chicago can hang his own shingle, and it's because they'd have to compete with guys as professional and effective as...

I’ve been working with Chris Jakubiak of Hustle Fitness for personal training for about a year now, and it has been such a great experience.

I get bored very easily with working out, and that’s never the case with Chris. He keeps the workouts fun, interesting, and dynamic. He is great at explaining each movement and technique, and provides great motivation when things are getting tough. The gym itself is always neat, organized, and non-intimidating. I receive a warm welcome every time I come in, and although I’ve never worked with Josh (the other owner), he always has a friendly smile on his face and a quick witty remark to throw into the conversation.

I feel stronger and more confident in my athletic ability because of Chris, which comes in handy when I’m working out with my military boyfriend. I love showing off my knowledge of training and different exercises I’ve learned with Chris. Especially my boxing! Chris introduced me to boxing and has incorporated it into my workouts. I would have never known I liked it so much, if it wasn’t for Chris.

Furthermore, I love Hustle Fitness’s holistic approach to fitness. They know that health is not just about working out but about incorporating other healthy habits into your lifestyle. There is a “Commit to be fit” program that is available to clients where you are provided with clean eating guidelines and encouraged to set short and long term workout goals. Hustle Fitness then provides a community of support for you so you don’t have to go at it alone!

I have no doubt that if you start working with the guys at Hustle Fitness, you’ll be on your way to looking and feeling your...

Being in Chicago, there seems to be a plethora of gyms popping up on every corner. It could be a daunting task to find a local gym with dedicated trainers who don't treat you as just a client but get to know you personally, working with you individually on your goals and knowing how to design workouts specifically for you in order to achieve maximum results. You get this at Hustle Fitness. Chris and Josh's professionalism and expertise show in the results of their clients. The environment of Hustle Fitness is the true epitome of community support. You get the support and education from Chris and Josh and from your fellow members.

If you are looking for a fancy gym with a spa and flat screens playing your favorite club music videos, this place is not for you. If you are looking to test your limits, to challenge yourself and work on becoming physically fit and emotionally confident, Hustle Fitness is the perfect gym. Flexible hours, easy scheduling, personal relationships with your trainers is what makes Hustle Fitness stand out from the rest.
