TruFit Personal Training Studios

Fantastic experience: TruFit and Izzy have been a game changer for me! My sessions with Izzy are something I look forward to all week. If you are looking for a place with: accountability, kindness, motivation, energy, community, and most importantly RESULTS!!! then this is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: Been working with Izzy for years at Trufit. She’s been amazing and helps keep me moving while dealing with chronic pain.

Fantastic experience: Julie T. is absolutely amazing - kind, inspiring, and incredibly knowledgeable. As someone who was new to working out, and who struggles with too many demands on my limited time, it was such a relief to find a place where I feel understood, accepted, and supported!

Fantastic experience: Julie Thomas is professional, positive, knowledgeable, and a whole Lot of fun! I am so glad to have her as a personal trainer. Since working with Julie I have gained confidence and strength in my body. I feel great and look forward to my workouts with Julie every week. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Working out is not fun for many of us, but Izzy and team have managed to create a very fun environment! It's relaxed and supportive and very important these days, it's very clean!! I didn't work out for years and now I'm back at it and I actually look forward to going!

Fantastic experience: Izzy did a fantastic job matching me with my trainer, Julie. We have worked together for a few years now and I look forward to every workout (which is not my nature). TruFit is warm, welcoming and supportive, regardless of your ability, physical condition or fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: I truly enjoy working at TruFit. The environment is inclusive and is a supportive community. My colleagues are all very knowledgeable and fun to be around. It’s an ideal place to train if you are completely new to this lifestyle, if you are trying to get back in a routine after an injury or surgery or if you are an avid athlete and need guidance or expertise to getting your performance to the next level.

Fantastic experience: I am truly enjoying my Trufit experience with my personal trainer Julie Thomas! After years of back issues I'm finding finding relief. I"m able to run short distances again and play basketball multiple times a week - A big change and improvement for me. Julie has been a great listener and has tailored the workouts to fit my needs specifically. I can't recommend Julie and Trufit enough. A game changer!

Fantastic experience: Positive, supportive energy, challenged to do my best, friendly, helpful people, and a customized program to fit my exercise goals. Love this place and love working out with IzzyFit! I have been training here for years (10?), and I am constantly challenged to find new limits and boundaries!

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: I am an experienced 'cardio' person, but this was my first time diving into a more balanced health regimen (stretching, weights, etc.). I absolutely recommend TruFit (and specifically my trainer Izzy/IzzyFit, although I witnessed other trainers working with clients and they all seemed terrific). I learned so much about how to add new and varied exercises into my life. The TruFit trainers are patient, understanding, and encouraging. Also, the whole experience was just plain fun (I was not expecting that).

Fantastic experience: I've been training my clients exclusively out of TruFit for nearly 5 years now, and I can't imagine bringing them anywhere else! Many of my clients have previously had negative experiences at other gyms and have expressed to me just how grateful they are that TruFit is entirely different -- everyone is so warm and welcoming, coaches and clients alike. As a coach, the space is such a breath of fresh air. Every coach who runs their business out of TruFit is not only the perfect combination of fun and professional but also happy to take the time to share their expertise with other coaches. This is a testament to the fact that TruFit values collaboration over competition; we don't just care about our own clients and success but also each other's. Whether you are someone seeking an experienced and compassionate trainer or you ARE a trainer looking for an inspiring space in which you can grow your business, I can't recommend TruFit highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I have been affiliated with TruFit for over 10 years and I could be more proud to be associated with this organization. From a supportive environment, expert trainers and down to earth clients, it is a family. Trainers collaborate, clients encourage and everyone celebrates. I would recommend both being a client and a trainer in this space.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality We feel very safe here as far as cleanliness and COVID precautions. Isabelle is a terrific trainer and a very caring person. Whether working in person or via Zoom those traits come through!

Fantastic experience: TruFit is a fantastic place to train! Everyone there shares the goal of becoming stronger and more fit, with zero judgement or competition. Izzy and the trainers are knowledgeable and on point, and really work with you to achieve your fitness goals by creating individual plans that are challenging and fun. The vibe of the gym is friendly and engaging with a diverse clientele and welcoming atmosphere. TruFit is a hidden gem in downtown Evanston!

Fantastic experience: So excited to be able to use this amazing and welcoming facility. TruFit is following the city of Evanston’s Covid re-opening guidelines as well as providing additional safety measures. I feel very comfortable training here.

Fantastic experience: When my fiancée (now husband) and I moved from NYC to Chicago almost six years ago, we agreed that having a personal trainer to get fit for the wedding was worth the financial splurge. We both were experiencing a lot of change (e.g. new jobs, new city, and wedding/marriage); and to us, maintaining our physical health was critical to managing all the stress. What we didn’t expect was to have fun along the way! Every week, my husband and I looked forward to our Izzy workouts. Not only did we feel good physically, but we felt like a team. There is nothing better than hearing both your trainer and your spouse call out “You can do it!” as you conquer a hard workout. Izzy’s creative, fun exercises had proven results. Both my husband and I felt perfect on our special day. (Thanks, Izzy. ) Fast forward to current state, I still work out with Izzy. She always finds a way to fit me in and/or be creative with our schedules. Izzy understands that training isn’t just about getting physically fit. It’s about helping a client be the best version of themselves.

Fantastic experience: This place has really changed my life, even if that sounds cheesy to say! This is a long spiel but I hope it will encourage someone like me to take the plunge and see a personal trainer at TruFit. I have never enjoyed exercise (or, realistically, physical activity in general) but once I hit my 30s I knew I had to do something to take better care of myself. I came to the conclusion that the one-on-one accountability of a personal trainer was what I needed. I did some research to figure out what to look for, and found that TruFit's website very clearly states every trainer's qualifications as well as details that can help figure out who will be a good fit. I emailed the owner, Izzy, and said that I thought I would work well with Megan - she agreed with my assessment and set up a meeting right away! I was right, Megan is awesome. Right off the bat, she personalized my experience by assessing my starting point and really focusing on my goals. I was really worried about the possibility of too much focus on weight loss or arbitrarily chosen exercises that wouldn't be right for me, but that is NOT what you will find here. Megan cares about her clients' HEALTH, and what they themselves want to get out of the training. Every workout is perfectly tailored to me, including adjustments when I'm sick or even just exhausted from a particularly long day. I also really want to emphasize that the TruFit environment consistently feels welcoming, judgement-free, and (for lack of a better word) intimate. Starting out, I was genuinely embarrassed about my fitness level - I still get winded and lightheaded pretty easily, and I was sure that any trainer I worked with would be totally exasperated with me, and that others working out would wonder why I was even there. Couldn't be further from the truth. Megan is an incredible cheerleader and makes me feel so good about the good things I'm doing for my body. I see the same folks at TruFit every week and they are just going about their own business meeting their own goals. There are clients of all shapes, sizes, genders, and abilities. And relatedly, there is a really great and comprehensive code of conduct posted, as well as a clearly-advertised gender-neutral restroom. TruFit always feels like a safe and supportive space. I can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: I sure miss my TruFit family. They are keeping me exercising in spite of our current circumstances. I look forward to the warm and cozy environment and inspiring workouts I get with my trainer Kathryn Lehner. Thanks for Zoom workouts Kathryn. And thanks to you Izzy for my favorite workout place in Evanston! ❤️

Fantastic experience: This place is a gem to work out at. The trainers are very knowledgeable. Kathryn has helped keep my knees and shoulders healthy. It is a very supportive environment.

Fantastic experience: Marco is a phenomenal trainer! He transformed my body, my eating, and my attitude. I look forward to my session every week not just because I know he will examine my form perfectly but also because he is an incredible friend.

Fantastic experience: Izzy and team are best in the business. Perfect gym for any and all skill levels. All trainers are professional and will tailor a workout specifically for you. You won’t be sorry. Actually, you’ll be better!

Fantastic experience: I don't usually post online reviews, but TruFit is a special place. Trainers' commitment, expertise and attunement to individual needs promotes healing, strength and confidence.

Fantastic experience: TruFit Studio is a team of experienced trainers and nutritionalists who help a diverse clientele achieve their personal fitness goals in an inclusive, positive environment. The gym's atmosphere is very friendly and supportive and I really look forward my training sessions at TruFit!

Fantastic experience: I have always enjoyed my personal training at TruFit.It is a down to earth, comfortable and warm environment.The trainers are in tune with their clients needs. Every workout is recorded giving clients continued updates on their progress. The trainers I work with are always taking continuing education programs to help their clients get the most updated care. Since the stay home order my trainer has designed a personal workout for me via the Coach U app. It keeps me motivated and I truly appreciate her dedication and obvious care she shows for her clients.

Fantastic experience: I'm a big fan of TruFit. I'm been working out there for the past 18 months and I could not be happier. I especially have to send a "shout out" to my trainer Marco. He is both a certified trainer and nutritionist. That is an amazing combination as I have increased my muscle mass while reducing my body fat. I'm truly addicted. If you are serious about changing your body and stamina, Marco is your man.

Fantastic experience: Trufit is a gem where everyone and every body is welcome. Great downtown Evanston location. A true independent gem.

Fantastic experience: I've been training here for years. It's a great place to train and grow. Facilities are clean and well maintained. Trainers are professional, friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting/needing focused workouts whatever your goals may be. Izzy helped me successfully hike 100 miles on the Appalachian Trail. It's a new day...stop hesitating...do it!

Fantastic experience: I train my clients here and can say that from the owner to the trainers to the clients, it's a place where everyone is welcome. No pretentiousness here at all. People just want to get fit!

Fantastic experience: What a great location for the original strength training I attended. The facility is clean, well organized and welcoming. The room we trained in was comfortable and just the right size. Izzy is an excellent hostess. She was available to answer questions and solve problems. Thank you very much!

Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to work out here with Sarah Laspas, and now I'm much stronger and I even have "Michelle Obama arms" which I never would have expected, so I'm thrilled with the results! This place has the widest variety of equipment you can imagine, including a lot of FUN things like TRX, sled, landmines (had no idea what this was when I started), free weights, kettlebells, and way way more. I got so much stronger than I started and never did the same workout twice because there's so much to work out with. I HIGHLY recommend training at TruFit. Everyone is welcoming, friendly, body positive, and knowledgable.

Fantastic experience: TruFit is a wonderful and unique place to work out, and (by far) the most positive and supportive gym environment I've ever been in. The trainers are both knowledgeable and personable, and the clientele is diverse and friendly--I never feel out of place or inadequate when I'm training there. P.S. also love the downtown Evanston location!
