I started going to Ultifit a few years ago when my son was taking classes at Ultimate Ninjas in Libertyville. In the beginning, I stuck with the group fitness classes since the obstacles were intimidating for me. It looked like so much fun though! So I kept building up my strength and started to take an OC Fusion class here and there. When I started OC Fusion I couldn't do a lot of the obstacles. I was still having a good time and getting a great workout, so I continued to go and get better each week.
Ultifit is unique because you get an amazing workout while having fun trying new things. There is always something new, a fun skill, or a new obstacle, and it keeps it interesting. The coaches are the best. They are some of the most knowledgable around. I feel safe while doing these workouts because of the solid warm-up and the emphasis on proper form. They provide modifications if needed, so the workout can be tailored to most levels. If you are tired of the same old workout and like to learn new skills, then I recommend...
Read moreI started with Ultifit up in Libertyville and thought where was this when I was growing up? It's a jungle gym for adults. The coaches are super helpful and supportive. They make modifications to the exercises if you happen to need it. Perhaps you're dealing with an old injury and you dont want to agrivate it. They will modify the exercise so you hit the same muscle groups without any pain or discomfort. Another modification they accomidate is making the course harder for advanced clients to challenge them. This gym is for all people from all levels of fitness. I would suggest starting with the GPT functional fitness class just to get a taste and learn your level of fitness prior to jumping into an OC Fusion class where you get to exercise on the obstacles. Outside of the unique exercise experience, the people you meet feel like a second family. They are always welcoming towards new individuals and help each other out. If you're looking for a new fun way to exercise, I highly suggest checking...
Read moreI've been a member of the adult classes for about a year, and it has been a great experience.
The workouts, while challenging, feel like a playground for adults—it's crazy fun! The coaches are incredibly supportive, and the community is welcoming to individuals of all skill levels. It truly feels more like a community than just a gym. The sense of accomplishment when you conquer a new obstacle is amazing.
In these workouts, you not only build strength and improve your cardio but also develop skills and techniques. This combination makes for engaging and enjoyable sessions. Many members often stay extra time to continue working on their skills, encouraging one another along the way.
I only wish I had joined this gym years ago. Highly...
