D21 Fit Studio

Fantastic experience: the pace is super clean with up-to-date equipment.

Fantastic experience: It's the best place to work out in Evanston and Chicago. The workout program starts with an evaluation, and the subsequent training days are programmed to the individual based on that evaluation. I receive personal check ins by my trainer several times a week. D21 also did a re-eval to make sure I am seeing the results that are expected. The work outs are hard and challenging - but that's what I want. My trainer corrects bad form throughout the class, which only tells me that they care that I get the maximum results out of every exercise in every class. If you want a straight forward approach to reach your fitness goals, I recommend D21. Your health and strong body will appreciate that you made this investment in yourself.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional 1:1 training and support. An abundance of outside support is provided, including a fitness app. Very well run and organized. Space is super clean.

Fantastic experience: I whole-heartedly recommend D21 Fit Studio – I’ve been seeing Dietrich individually for fitness sessions for several months and it is really helping me. I’m in my mid 50s and I noticed I needed some outside motivation, skill and focus to regain the physical strength and endurance that’s been slipping for quite a while. I had seen people coming in and out of his neighborhood studio for years, so I did some research and decided to give it a go. Dietrich let me know right away that his specialty is working with folks in my stage of life. He is an excellent trainer for me – warm, personable, friendly, encouraging. He also invites me to do things that are very challenging. Each workout has been an adventure, and I can see and feel the progress. Dietrich always finds ways to work around various injuries I’ve had before I started with him. I know I would never be able to get myself to do the things he has encouraged me to do, and I plan to invite friends/family to do small group classes with in the studio. He also takes nutrition very seriously and offers extensive help with this for those who want it. GIVE IT A TRY!

Fantastic experience: After many times trying to working out on my own and keep giving it up, I think I do need a coach to help me. So I reached out to Dietrich. He is very professional on each exercise design, always being patient and encourage me. He pays a lot of attentions to the details when I'm working out, correct each detail of the movement for me so that I can use the right muscle. Most importantly, he helped me to build up the habit to work out on certain times. I'm very grateful that I reached out to D21 studio.

Fantastic experience: D is an excellent trainer! Work outs are smooth with a roughness :). He pushes, motivates and always expects the best from you. Got me in the beat shape I've been in, in years!

Fantastic experience: Great trainer and great results! I’m so happy I took the time to come here! I was pushed to the max and crazy enough, loved ever second it!! I definitely recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Working with Jason was truly life-changing! I always had the fear of not knowing what to do once I got to the gym, but they took the pressure away immediately. I was hit hard by COVID, and after a few weeks of working with Jason, my life, my identity, and my energy have completely changed for the better. Thank you d21

Fantastic experience: Intimate gym with great one to one trainers.

Fantastic experience: After months of trying to establish an exercise routine on my own, I decided I needed help. I signed up with Dietrich and am so happy I did. He keeps me motivated, accountable, and pushes me to be my best self. I have seen the difference in several months of working with him. I am not only stronger, I am more dedicated with my eating habits and feel energized. The staff are great, too. I have worked with a couple of the other trainers and they are very personable and offer great workouts. I always leave feeling better and stronger. Dietrich provides everything you need to reach your goal, from recipes to workouts during off days to regular communication & motivation. I’m excited to continue my journey at D21!

Fantastic experience: My parents were always very active, so fitness has been a part of my life since childhood. Over the decades, I struggled to keep it up on my own. When the pandemic began, I had to homeschool my young child and work full-time; I simply had no energy to exercise, and I eventually lost all motivation. I ended up gaining 30lbs, and at the end of 2021 I simply couldn’t look in the mirror without feeling disappointed. With my son back in school, and some extra money in my pocket from Christmas (thanks dad), I signed up for the 6-week Challenge at D21. Dietrich gave me a nutrition plan, and I trained with Jason 3 times a week. I’m now at the end of Week5 and have lost 13lbs. I feel stronger and healthier than ever before. The nutrition plan took some getting used to, especially because I LOVE food and was never concerned with portions before. Now, measuring portions and reading ingredients is second nature, and I always feel satisfied. Dietrich communicated with me regularly and the accountability was very helpful. As for Jason, I can’t sing his praises enough. Jason has taught me so much and always makes sure I’m doing things correctly and safely. He’s even coached me to be mindful of my negative self-talk. His workouts challenge and push me every single time, and I leave D21 feeling like a super hero. I’m very sad to say, that I can’t afford one-on-one training after my 6weeks is over. However, because of their training, I know I can keep up the nutrition and am motivated to keep exercising regularly. And, whenever I have extra money in my pocket again, I’m going back to D21.

Fantastic experience: At age 54, I started personal training sessions with Dietrich back in January of 2014 when I was going through insurmountable work stress and it was beginning to elevate my blood pressure and wreak havoc on my overall wellbeing. He got me in shape, but more importantly, I got into the habit of strength training in a way I never done before. I feel great, and Dietrich makes it fun while challenging you. I am humbled that Dietrich will take on clients like me because he has so much experience and knowledge having been an award-winning body builder. For him, it is his passion to help people improve their health, at no matter what level. He and his training team are great. My husband and I also regularly share a weekly workout session with Jason, who is another excellent trainer. Spend the money for your health at D21 Fit!

Fantastic experience: I've been using Dietrich at D21 for years. He, and his staff, are incredibly experienced, and I'd recommend them for anyone. He knows how to design a workout appropriate for your skills and level, and knows how to push you to keep you progressing while keeping the program within your limits. Highly recomended.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to D21 for a year. It really helped me to keep in shape both physically and mentally during this pandemic. My trainer (Jason) prepares a personal training plan per my goals and changes it depending on how I feel during the training. I feel energized after each training. Initially, I was hesitant as I was not sure whether I will be able to keep it up. I had gym memberships before and always stopped working out after a couple of months. However, personal training is different than gym membership, it is a commitment and a personal relationship with your trainer. I highly recommend D21 for everyone in the neighborhood.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality D21 helped me with a focused health program that, over time, has been meaningfully enriching. I have been able to bring a disciplined approach to my physical shape with the terrific support of D21 and its staff.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at D21 for over two and a half years. I am constantly being challenged. David changes my routine often so things don’t get stale. He does a wonderful job of recognizing my physical limitations and at the same encouraging me to push myself to do the best I can.

Positive experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality We enjoy working out with Jason, he is a great, engaging, accessible trainer. I started last fall alone and my boyfriend joined me as workout partner. D21 just moved to a new location, try them out if you are looking for a small, intimate fitness studio for private training.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Dietrich Horsey since 2008. He ALWAYS keeps my workouts safe, challenging, and invigorating. He and his staff really get to know their clients, and they will be with you for the long haul! It is truly sustainable fitness for your lifestyle. No matter what your current fitness level, they will get you into it and loving it!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality I have been training with Dietrich for over a month now. Although challenging, I have enjoyed the workouts. He encourages and keeps me motivated during the workouts. He has also helped me improve my nutrition through meal plans. He is a great accountability coach and fitness trainer.

Fantastic experience: I’m having a fantastic experience with Dietrich! He’s extremely knowledgeable, great fun, and is an expert in motivation without being pushy. He has a way of making one accountable that encourages consistency and progression. I’ve only been working with him for a couple of months, and have made significant gains in my overall fitness level. Thanks D!!

Fantastic experience: D21 is the first fitness studio I have been able to attend regularly. They have great trainers, who are enthusiastic, engaging and well prepared. Studio is always clean, neat and well kept. They have everything one could want in a fitness studio, even my least favorite vertical climber. It is a real no judgment zone and Jason is terrific!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I couldn’t be more grateful to be on this weight loss journey with Jason and the team from D21. They listened to the goals that my wife and I have, put together a personalized training and meal plan that will help us reach those goals. Maintaining good health is crucial to living a good life so again, I am very grateful for D21!

Positive experience: I am currently training at the new location for D21 Fit Studio and I would have to say my experience has been pretty good and I’ve gotten results. They help monitor your eating and weight to keep you on track. Depending on what program you choose, it can be a little pricey but they have your best interest in mind and are willing to work with you to get you to your goals.

Fantastic experience: Dietrich is a great guy with the experience and motivation any client would be lucky to have.

Fantastic experience: This review is long overdue. I've been working with Dietrich since the end of August and loving it. I've never worked with a trainer before and only wish I had tried this place sooner. After having my son 10 years ago, I slowly became less active and fit. After only a few months with Dietrich I've lost body fat and rediscovered muscles I thought were gone forever (especially in my core). I also previously experienced extreme tightness in my neck and shoulders for years, but strength training with Dietrich has completely remedied that discomfort. That on its own feels like a miracle. Dietrich is an incredibly talented trainer. He provides the perfect amount of encouragement, challenge and humor to make it feel like your own personal therapy. He is the one commitment I consistently keep on my calendar, because I always know I'll walk out feel better and stronger after those sessions. If you're thinking about doing something for yourself that will change your quality of life, give D21 a call. You won't be disappointed!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Have been working out with Jason for past two months online. Great instruction and training technique. Perfect for my fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Its the best place on earth because it's my place .lmao

Fantastic experience: Everything about D21 Fit Studio, from the location to the cleanliness of the gym to the trainers, is outstanding. Each and everyone of them made me feel comfortable in the unsettling decision of having to get a personal trainer. I was very nervous at first but Dietrich and Agnes were amazing and promised they would find the best trainer for me based on the information I gave them....and they did! I have never been one who knows what exercises to do at the gym, let alone even go to the gym so I felt very self-conscious about starting this journey. David made me feel comfortable and made sure the exercises were appropriate with where I was health wise. He is always more than willing to modify workouts if I feel they are too difficult and always very encouraging. He has made this process one of the most enjoyable! I can officially say thanks to the team at D21 Fit Studio, I truly look forward to my sessions each week!

Fantastic experience: This is a bright, clean, attractive fitness studio with great new equipment. Dietrich is an awesome personal trainer. I have seen him on a regular basis for more than 10 years and I feel healthier each year. Workouts are varied each time, never boring, and Dietrich is fully engaged and encouraging. He is extremely knowledgeable about the body and nutrition and helps you achieve your goals as a team. I highly recommend Dietrich and D21.

Fantastic experience: Dietrich is a fantastic personal trainer that took me from totally out of shape to a rough tough chiseled machine...okay probably not exactly that, but I'm definitely way more fit and feel much better about my health since starting to train with him.
