Thanks guys! I am finally sticking to my health and fitness goals! This gym has everything I was looking for as an athlete getting back at it. I had been to a few gyms in McHenry and was relieved when I went in and was given a tour and answers to my questions without feeling HOUNDED into signing up or buying training packages right away. A few weeks later, I came back when the time was right for me because they treated me like a PERSON and respected my boundaries... unlike some, which left me feeling hunted down like a living manifestation of a monthly Auto-Draft. Since being here, the staff has been so kind and are ALWAYS working on something; whether that's keeping the place clean, putting out freshly washed towels, working with a member who has form questions or concerns, helping people get settled during their first visit or just checking in to see how you are. The variety of classes is incredible, and are taught by qualified trainers who make sure you feel taken care of and seen, and are not solely focused on running you into the ground in an attempt too break you (though these classes will get your muscles by burning and sweat dripping!). I did my first Barre class yesterday and it was intense, but very welcoming and soooo much fun! Can't wait to get in with Laura for some HIIT next, then maybe try some Yoga to tie into my routine. The Fit3D scanned is great! If you haven't used it, I URGE you to try it out!!! I love it over tracking progress with a scale. It gives you a full body scan that generates an "avatar" with your body's specific measurements, health evaluation based on key ratios that have been linked to certain health risks, as well as a run down of your body composition. The best part is you can track and compare your progress, which makes it more motivating when you can visually witness changes in your avatar along with changes in body fat%, lean muscle gain, measurements, body shape rating, BMR calculations and a ton more; I recently found out I had lost only 2.3lbs in body weight in two months, which would be devastating if I only used a scale, but the Fit3D showed that I lost 6+lbs in body fat, and gained 3lbs lean muscle - and the change of appearance of my body is pretty staggering (and very VERY welcomed). If you want a place to train in an environment that wants you to succeed, seriously, come check them out! Showers, towel service, classes, functional equipment and environment that is well maintained, along with a remarkable staff that...
Read moreI've tried countless gyms over the years, but Fitness 120 has my heart. It has everything you need and more. I would recommend this gym to all fitness levels. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the gym is clean, atmosphere is unmatched, and you won't find a better bang for your buck with a membership here. Quality equipment, plenty of space, not one, but two Saunas, stocked locker rooms for the ladies.. I could go on. They truly do listen to their members input and you can tell that they are not content with 'comfort'. The gym is constantly making improvements and adding equipment/machines when it makes sense. Always evolving and improving even when you thought it couldn't get any better. They show so much support and pride in their members as well. 120 is consistent on social media platforms, active on the phone if you need to get ahold of someone, community-based, 24/7, no contract, and overall just a place alot of us love to call home.
I've been here on and off from when it first started out as a Charter Fitness. Since Brian took over, it's excelled quickly. He's made Fitness 120 a force in the area. All of the success from this gym stems from the care that the owner and Brian share. Your hard work, care, and dedication does not go unnoticed. I can't wait to see what you guys do in the future! A...
Read moreThis is like my second home, I feel so comfortable coming here and it has a nice vibe. Know some of the staff that works there and they're all nice people! Even the gym goers themselves are - always willing to help when needed. Never run into any issues with anyone or anything - gym equipment is like-new, in great condition. 24 hour perk is what keeps me here as I can come any time. I recommend this gym to anyone whose local and is needing somewhere to better themselves! The newly attached CrossFit section is also nice to have, but I...
