P.R.O. Fitness and Sports Academy

Fantastic experience: The best gym in the city and Dra is the most inspiring trainer!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym for many years and each year it gets better. The owner Derreck one of the best trainers in the Chicagoland area has filled the gym with the most amazing coaches. If you are looking for a personal training gym as a student athlete, professional athlete, or adult there is a class or personal trainer for you. The adult fitness classes are amazing and focused to meet you at any level you are. Coach Jonathan is great and takes pride on his ability to make help you meet your personal goals and makes every adults fitness class I attend worth it. There are many others coaches at this gym who also make it worth while to come Coach Sam and Coach Dre are also great and they even have Yoga on Sundays! If you have fitness goals and want a gym that is dedicated to helping to achieve that goal this is the place to be! It’s a great day to get better at PRO!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: @DBmiyagi built a great foundation on culture & fitness. Excellent programs, above average trainers. 11/10 on the culture! 1 of 1.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 Best in business! Highly recommended to all

Fantastic experience: Went for a Monday morning workout session and did multiple circuit exercises in a group through ClassPass. Sam was great, making sure I knew how to do each exercise and checking in with me throughout the session. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: From day 1 I felt at home. I started with private workouts with coach Jonathon and that was just the beginning. That's over a year ago already. Derek (DB) is a great leader and an awesome coach. He also works with my 9 year old son on fitness that helps his Jiujitsu and other cross training. I highly recommend PRO Train Fitness

Fantastic experience: It’s phenomenal what PRO has created for those looking to build community through fitness along with giving current and former athletes a space to enhance their mind and body. I’ve been a proud member of P.R.O. Fitness and Sports Academy for nearly a decade and my areas of grow physically and mentally are sources of pride. DB helped me through my rehab process after I ruptured my achilles and I returned back to full physical activities nearly 8 months later. The PRO staff is dedicated, honest and challenge you to become a better version of you. PRO offers you a family atmosphere that’s unmatched in Chicago. This is the gym for you. DB and his staff are the coaches for you. PRO Trained is the fitness family for you.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym I've ever experienced. I initially reached out to owner Derrick Baker (DB) for a rehab program after rupturing my ATF ligament in my left ankle - not only was his custom program perfect for me restoring my strength and mobility, but he also incorporated a holistic approach designed to realign and balance my entire body. His knowledge of biomechanics is second-to-none, and his mobility driven philosophy has changed my life for the better. Additionally, I'm a huge fan of the gym culture - inclusive of athletes, beginners, and all in-between, there are no intimidation factors. The vibes are immaculate, the energy is high, and the clientele is extremely diverse. Highly recommend the group fitness classes as well. Staff is friendly, facility is clean, and the community is welcoming. A1 all-around. An easy 5-stars.

Fantastic experience: I love working out at Pro. I did personal training with Jonathan and saw amazing results. It is a motivating environment and they know what they are talking about! You will learn so much.

Fantastic experience: The team at PRO fitness really cares about your wellness journey. They have created a welcoming and intentional space for people to learn and to push themselves to reach their fitness goals. The coaches are great teachers and motivators. Whether you’re a professional athlete or someone just starting to work out, this is the community to join.

Fantastic experience: Very clean gym and most definitely worth the low cost. The charter fitness that was here was abysmal. Nice work!

Fantastic experience: DB is the GOAT. If you wish for greatness you should train here

Fantastic experience: Excellent alternative to "crossfit" variety of workouts to break the monotony and the staff is super friendly and helpful. None of that extraness and weird energy some trainers bring to the workout. Its like a family environment.

Fantastic experience: I was worried about working out when the stay-in-place order started but the virtual workouts have been amazing. I have seen my body getting stronger and the coaches are really supportive. I always feel like they are invested in my success. The workouts are challenging but fun. I strongly recommend giving them a try.

Fantastic experience: This is the spot for all- athletes, former athletes, or those who want to turn their fitness and health around! I am a former athlete with several nagging injuries and after 2 months of sports performance training, I have never been faster or stronger. I have received so many comments on my weight loss and definition (this wasn't a goal initially, but the compliments are lovely to hear!). The team does a fantastic job of working with individuals to obtain their fitness goals. I was a bit nervous coming into classes with top-notch athletes half my age, but trainers provided instruction based on my body type, injuries, and fitness goals. They have helped me obtain my fitness goals which I never could have accomplished on my own. Cannot recommend the PRO academy high enough!

Fantastic experience: Great workout all around! Core , Cardio , and strength they have it! It doesn’t matter who you are there is a class for you. Much recommend!

Fantastic experience: I went for the first time this morning, and I wish I'd gone sooner. I live in the neighborhood which is a big plus, but I'd travel for this class (adult fitness). The instructors are both friendly, the right amount of encouraging (though but won't make you feel like crap), and correct form in a positive way. Class was a pyramid style of 8 exercises with alternating time based on the round. Great workout, will return!

Fantastic experience: I was hooked from day one. The classes offer a variety of workouts that incorporate strength & cardio. The schedule alternates workouts over a 6 week period, followed by a recovery week. After the recovery week, there is a whole new set of workouts for the next six weeks. I love this format because it allows to work on form and/or trying to beat your reps and once you are getting used to/comfortable with the routine, it's switched up and a new challenge is offered. The trainers are knowledgable and are able to correct form to make sure you're hitting the sweet spot and doing the exercise correctly. They also modify the workout if you have any injuries or to meet your level of fitness. Along with the regime, I enjoy the community component. It is nice to a see familiar faces and have social interaction at the gym--also, I tend to work harder in group/team settings :) The gym is accommodating to new members who want to try the gym out and offer a very affordable first month before making any commitments.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this gym. I took my first group fitness class here yesterday morning and really enjoyed it. I’m not a ‘group fitness’ gal at all as I prefer 1:1 training however this class was small and I actually had a good workout, that didn’t consist of standard boring exercises that usually accompany group workouts. One of the owners even remembered my name despite having met me once a few months ago. Looking forward to continuing my fitness journey here.

Fantastic experience: My first class was at 6 am on a Friday morning. I left feeling better than I arrived. All skill-levels are welcomed and that is truly what made me feel comfortable. Don't worry about making mistakes, Derek will make sure that you receive the necessary attention and training so you can grow and learn. Give it your all and I promise you will see results in no time.

Fantastic experience: DB & Jim (instructors/owners) are knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and very welcoming. They do an amazinggg job managing the group while offering individualized attention to each person. Love that classes are open and effective for all skill levels. Highly recommend anyone who's curious - to come check them out!
