This is the forefront of preventative care with a holistic approach.As a Doctor of Physical Therapy and sport scientist, these are the friends I trust to keep my family and me strong for life!
The staff is super friendly. It feels like a family there. Right when I joined everyone there has made me feel welcome and supported. Having trained with Mike for the past 7 months now and seeing how I have progressed, I can say this is by far the best gym I have ever gone too.
I cant say enough great things about this place. The classes are fun and challenging. The owners and trainers are honestly the nicest people I have ever met. They make working out fun and interesting. They know your name by heart instantly, welcome you in every time, give helpful advice, and give optional modifications for injuries. And even all the members are the kindest people and very welcoming for a newcomer. I am a convert and a lifer at this gym. Will always come here. Take a free class and see for yourself how great the culture and atmosphere is at this gym.
My doctor encouraged me to do more strength training as my body ages, I was intimidated by using free weights and weight machines as I’ve never had any formal training on them. TJ has been so helpful to show me the ropes as well as protecting me from injury. I’m getting stronger every time I go and loving it!
You will be hard pressed to find a better gym in the area! Whether you are looking for group fitness classes, personal training sessions or just a quiet place that is open 24/7 to get in your own workout THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! The coaches and staff are beyond friendly and the gym is tidy, clean, and organized. Five stars all around.
I’ve tried just about every type of exercise modality from distance running, CrossFit, Olympic Weightlifting, and even cookie cutter body building programs. Nothing compares to the level of knowledge that these guys have. They are attentive to your goals and check in often. Everyone here is friendly and personable, it’s like Cheers, where everybody knows your name! The facility is super clean and they have high quality equipment. I could not imagine going to another gym or working with another coach again!
At a friends recommendation, I dropped in on a few classes before my old gym closed, and I was instantly hooked. The group classes offerings, the class times that are available, and the exercise variety the trainers work into the classes is awesome. Steel maces, steel clubs, battle ropes, boxing, its all here, and its super fun. The trainers are so friendly and theyll work with you to help you meet your fitness goals. They even offer a free class, so theres no excuse not to try! Join the Wolfpack!
The variety of classes & workouts offered is great! The classes always feel different and challenging, best gym in the Midwest!! I love the coaches too, they are very knowledgeable and make you feel comfortable during any workout. MSP is more than just a gym, its a family. Youll get an amazing workout with great people!
Fantastic gym, excellent staff and service, and a great sense of community! Highly recommend this location, especially over any of the big chain gyms in the area.
A great gym that will help you achieve your goals! Training is geared toward what you want to achieve. Everyone is treated like family and makes the experience feel special.
MSP is an incredible gym and community. The owners, coaches and members create an energetic positive fun environment that keeps you motivated. Great place!
MSP is a great gym that not only challenges you physically, but also challenges you to grow as a person. They aren’t trainers that are just going to help you gain strength, they want to know who you are and know about your life outside of the gym too.
Best trainers around! They not only offer amazing and challenging workouts, but they mentor their clients!! The also assist with nutrition, recovery massage and cool merch!!Love MSP!
MSP is the most welcoming gym I’ve ever visited. The staff is friendly and attentive and the workouts are great.
The best gym and the best people. Love them so much
Great gym and great equipment with everything you need to train.
The Gainz, the camaraderie, the professionalism, the environment, the community. Thank you to everyone involved with MSP
My favorite gym ever! This gym has been a game changer for my overall health. The coaches are extremely knowledgable, caring, personable, and overall super fun to be around! If you are looking for a gym to call your home, Midwest Strength and Performance is the best youll ever find.
This place is phenomenal, great equipment, well organized, staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Has a nice selection of fitness clothing and supplements available.
Love their hours and that they opened up! Good equipment selection. Staff on their phones a lot though.
Going to MSP is the best part of my week! I leave feeling energized, accomplished and more fit than when I entered.
My favorite gym ever! Highly recommended.
Jimmy and Zane are awesome
Great atmosphere and any one of the workers or trainers are more than willing to help out and answer any questions!
Unfortunately, I live in CT and cannot become a member. TJ is the man, he is incredibly helpful and has mentored me in every aspect of fitness possible. They are a great group of people who truly want everybody to succeed with their fitness goals. I wish I had access to a gym HALF as good as these guys, Id sign up in a heartbeat. If you are in the area of west Chicago you are missing out if you are not a member. I cannot recommend them enough!
Amazing gym. Clean, spacious, and friendly staff . Very impressed with this facility .
I love this gym. All the trainers are amazing and so helpful. This is by far the best gym Ive belonged to.
The best gym around and the trainers are on point
I have trained with TJ for over 3 years now and watched Jimmy and Zane train others over this same time period. They are all fantastic. Their approach is customized for each individual client -- not the same old stuff you typically get from a trainer after training with them for years.If you are looking for a great workout, a great gym, and a way to mix up your current workout, this is DEFINITELY the place to go to! They are totally service-oriented as well and they keep you laughing and smiling the entire time you train. Once you try a workout with any one of them, you will want to join the gym immediately. I strongly encourage anyone of any age group to give them a try!
First time here & LOVED it, clean gym, AMAZING, friendly staff &&& you will feel incredible after the workouts 💪🏼 Highly recommend!!!
Great hospitality and they have all the equipment you need to get a great workout in!
I have been training with my trainer Mike for about a three months. He takes the time to show me how to have the correct form to work with free weights. I have lost twenty lbs, and Im lifting 210 Lbs for ten reps., single arm 85lbs dumbbell 12 reps. I have gone from a size 6X shirt to 2X shirt, 22 neck to 19 1/2 neck, and 6 in the waist. Mike is helping me with my nutrition. I have never had better results until I started working with Michael Sell at Midwest Strength + Performance.Thats Mike holding the 50 Lbs mace above his head.
I love this Gym. Every time I come in its like coming home. All the trainers are awesome and truly care about your success. They truly put there hearts into this place and it shows in the product they bring. If you want a gym full of positive dudes dedicated to there craft, that will take you to the next level than look no further! Not to mention the $ of membership beats out all the competition.
Well managed, Very clean and super affordable. No negatives come to mind!
I hate to call it a gym because it’s more than that. I hate to call the trainers trainers because they are more than that. The trainers truly coach and lead with exceptional attention to detail, focusing rather on quality of lifts/workouts rather than plowing through a session with no regard for the members well being. All the coaches here are extremely nice, likeable, and most importantly competent. They all have the credentials to back it up, and their passion truly shows. MSP focuses on strength, mobility, flexibility, and longevity. If you want to look good and feel good, this is your gym. 6 Stars.
Was in town from Arizona and these guys welcomed me as family. There are a lot of gyms out there but not many who have this level of customer service, support
Friendly and knowledgeable trainers! I recommend to everyone. Very fun classes with great music!
These guys are awesome, and volunteered of their time to come to our schools Family Fitness night during Screen free week to demonstrate and coach our kids! Great group!
We have been to several gyms in the area and by far this is the best total body workout with weights included. The hours are very convenient for my whole family.
The coaches guide you through the training and do a great job. Best gym ever!
Best place to workout! I can box,, lift weights, and do cross-fit style workouts all in one place! There is also a artificial turf for sprints and sleds! Awesome, super friendly owners as well!
If you want a heck of work out check out msp. Its like a family there. All the coaches are well educated and each has their own way to motivate you to better yourself. Very glad i signed up.
If your an athlete look no further. MSP will condition your body and mind to perform at its peak for any sport. The trainers are very passionate about what they do. Always enjoy my time here.
Had a great workout when I visited with trainer jimmy walker! He was very encouraging and energetic! Would def recommend !
Smart and Knowledgeable trainers! I recommend to everyone from athletes to parents. Very fun classes with great music!
The staff is extremely knowledgeable. I had him in a different training and the difference is night and day. Highly recommend.
The trainers at MSP are just absolutely amazing. I came to this gym not knowing what to do or how to do it right. All of them have helped me in what to do and how to do it the proper way(so I dont injure myself). Two months after being a member and If they see me doing something the wrong way. They take the time to show me how to do it the right way again. They know I have health issues. That sometimes stops me from doing certain workouts. But theyre all understanding and they never push me more then I can handle. Since I started working out at MSP my healths improving and I owe it all to the them. Zane, TJ, Mike, Phil and Jimmy make me feel very comfortable and are just amazing people. I highly recommend this place.
An amazing gym for anyone, but especially for beginners. The atmosphere is super welcoming and chill, the employees are awesome and always willing to help.
I have been able to stay in shape while meeting amazing people and forming friendships. The gym is warm and family friendly.
Amazing place. Run by a great team of guys. Helpful, genuine, fun and amazing!
Great atmosphere and great place to get a lift in. Ive worked with Mike Sell for a few months and the time and effort he puts in really pays off.
I like their early fundamentals class. One hour of always new routines makes getting and staying in shape easy and interesting. The focus on steel mace, kettlebells, ropes, and bodyweight blends cardio and strength training for a perfect workout.
I love MSP. After working in boutique fitness for two years, I left the fitness industry and wasn’t working out. A friend urged me to give MSP a try, so i came to a class with her. From the moment I stepped into MSP, something felt different and I was hooked. Unfortunately life happened and after about 7 months, I had to step away for about 2 months but yesterday was my first day back. I was greeted immediately with smiles and hugs from the guys - Zane even remembered my injuries/weak areas and modified the workout to accommodate. These guys know that the key to building a lasting business is building lasting relationships, and everything they do is done wholeheartedly. The workouts are always challenging yet attainable, the encouragement from the entire training team is always there, and level of dedication they have to not only their members, but anyone who walks in the door, is commendable. Go to MSP. There’s no question about it.
Midwest Strength + Performance is by far the best gym in the area. The coaches are young, enthusiastic, professional and most importantly, extremely knowledgeable. They are continuously learning new, unconventional approaches to fitness while ensuring their members safety.While many gyms specialize in a specific sector of the fitness industry (CrossFit, Yoga, general conditioning, etc.), MSP offers a wide variety of classes and has something for everyone -- Fundamentals, Steel Mace (I had never heard of steel mace until MSP -- it looks as if it would be so easy but the workout is a killer!), Boxing, Bodyweight and Powerlifting. As a former collegiate athlete, I no longer look for that grueling workout I once went through. The different classes allow me the flexibility to decide how hard I want to push myself and the ability to do so without injury or beating up my body.Hands down, MSP is the only place I would recommend to those looking for a gym with experienced trainers and a fun, hard work out at an affordable price!
Ive been going to this gym for a few months now and I really enjoy it. The staff is very friendly and always quick with a smile and a hello.
Awesome atmosphere, amazing staff💯😙
