Jim Karas Intelligent Fitness & Wellness

Fantastic experience: Jim Karas Personal Training is worth every minute and every penny. I am a client at the Westmont, IL location. As a 61 year old female Ironman, I have experienced many levels of athletic trainers. After an almost 5 year hiatus from racing to launch a new business (which has necessitated 85K miles of driving in 14 months) I found myself struggling to regain my past strength and endurance. With another Ironman on the books, fortunately I heard an interview with Jim Karas and decided to try his techniques by investing in training with his coaches. It was the best move I have ever made in my racing career. Everything about this operation is extremely professional, yet warmly personal. The coaches have impressive backgrounds and educations. They are focused on the client and research/deliver personalized programs that can be taken home and reinforced out of the gym. Instead of competing with each other, they work as a team - each bringing unique strengths to the training palette. From what I have gleaned, not only does the Karas corporation constantly provide professional development for their coaches, the individuals themselves are hungry to stay on top of all new developments/innovations in the fitness field - not an easy task! The actual physical gym in Westmont is clean, efficient and well maintained - not to mention very accessible with free parking! The choreography of the coaches is a constant flow of utilizing the best tools for their clients while making sure everything is ready for the next coach to pick up and use at any time. I highly recommend training with the Jim Karas team for anyone who is serious about seeing results. We are lucky to have them in the Chicago area.

Fantastic experience: Been working out with Jim Karas for at least 10 years. Katie Rondeau is the best female trainer there. She offers incredible workouts and FST II certified.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I've been training with Katie for a couple of years and really can see the progress. Katie is extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and reliable - which is key if you're meeting in early a.m. I would recommend Katie for training and FST.

Fantastic experience: I love working out with Adam Franklin at Jim Karas Intelligent Fitness & Wellness—he's amazing. The whole setup, the Karas team, and environment have been great for me through the pandemic and after. Adams's flexibility, teaching/training style plus his knowledge in fitness, recovery, muscle, joints, and massage therapy have been just what I needed—not only for my schedule but for my injuries and lifestyle. I love the Karas Intelligent Fitness team, the Infrared sauna, and the team at Chicago Cryo—it has been beneficial to my health and wellness during what is the craziest time in my company startup and founders journey.

Fantastic experience: I started my relationship with the Jim Karas Intelligent fitness family with the Chicago Cryospa, and because of the wonderful service and health benefits I saw I am now a training client and have discovered FST (facial stretch therapy) with Katie. FST is amazing and if you haven't tried it, definitely do!
