Superior Athletic Advantage — Local services in Barrington

Thank you to Will, Kurt, and Abby for kick starting my resistance training journey! I thought I was in a pretty good place fitness wise, but within these past few years I felt myself getting more winded in the show ring and my upper body feeling exhausted (I am a competitive equestrian) and knew that I needed to make a change!

It started with a consultation with Will where I was asked questions and we did a form check and evaluated my current level of fitness, and from there, we made a plan for me to start personal training twice a week. I was able to learn proper form and once I got more comfortable, I started group training Mondays and Wednesdays. Each workout was challenging and I absolutely loved all of the other athletes in the group training! I like that with group you can be more independent with setting up your equipment, but coaches like Kurt or Abby are always there to spot you and check form.

I trained with SAA from early February to July of 2022, and the only reason why I stopped is because I moved out of state. Whether you are looking for a change like I was or you are a major athlete ready to learn some new moves or improve your technique, I highly recommend SAA. They are also great coaches for children, high school athletes, and special Olympics athletes. Such kind and knowledgeable coaches here, and I’m so glad that I started this chapter with them. I...

Amazing place! Joining SAA has been one of the best decisions of my life. I joined SAA shortly after my 50th birthday in 2016. 7 months later, I'm in better shape than 25 years ago. I was always interested in crossfit, but was very hesitant about flipping tractor tires in a parking lot with people half my age. Sounded like a recipe for disaster, especially after my 5th back surgery in June 2015. Everybody has different goals and the instructors at SAA are fully aware of this. Each session is different and personalized. They asked lots of questions during my assessment, and are fully aware of my back history and what my goals are. Every time I arrive, my personalized plan is ready for me. The instructors at SAA are very educated and experienced in weight lifting, sports training and strength conditioning. One of the many things I have learned with their guidance is patience. All those mysterious little routines and exercises finally started to make sense after a few months. It's about proper form, injury prevention and setting you up for something more advanced. Every time I arrive, I am greeted by everybody. I sleep better, my energy level is off the charts, I can run faster and longer and my stress levels have decreased. My back is stronger and better than ever. I am forever grateful to SAA, and proud to part of...
