Motiv has given me many reasons to look forward to my workouts. The people here, clients and staff alike, give me a sense of camaraderie and make my coming here fun. Since the workouts are always different I am constantly learning new things to incorporate into my own workout routine. I am proud to say I have lost 30 lbs!

Working out at Motiv has vastly improved my golf game over the past six months. I am happy to say I shot my best round in 10 years last Saturday!

Women my age (56) need strength and weight bearing exercise to prevent osteoporosis. Since starting the Motiv program in December 2008, my bone density score has improved. I feel stronger and more fit. The personal trainers challenge me to do more, and it’s working.

If you were to tell me 4 months ago that I had signed up for a year-long commitment of working out every week and that I’d be delighted about it – I would’ve told you that you were highly mistaken! Yet, here I am. Without the accountability of my training sessions and without the varied workouts (I’m 3 months into this and they’re still making up new ways for me to get on, get off, move around these balls), I would not be doing this. I gave birth to my second child 5 months ago and I’m in the best shape of my life. Thanks Motiv!

I decided to try Motiv personal training to get in shape for my up-coming wedding. I couldn’t be happier with the results so far! After two short months, my clothes are looser and my muscle tone has greatly improved. The workouts are convenient and effective, which fits perfectly with my busy schedule.

My experience with Motiv Personal Training thus far can be condensed into one word: successful. I play several roles on a daily basis: employee, teacher, wife, board member, dog owner, etc. as many of us do, and I rarely take time to focus on myself. One of the reasons I fail to give myself that time is because I generally do not have many minutes left over at the end of each day. I put working out and general health on the back burner. I had officially become one of those women who let herself go.
I knew that the only way I could accomplish my fitness goals would be to get a personal trainer. Big gyms intimidate me because I do not like to be watched by the masses when I work out. Private studios cost an arm and a leg. I was overjoyed to discover Motiv is the perfect combination of the two; boutique atmosphere where I tone my extremities; not use them for payment.
My husband and I go to Motiv three days a week for a little less than an hour. This is the first time that I have been able to schedule a workout before work without feeling rushed. We are able to incorporate exercise into our life without having to sacrifice in another area. Within these two short months I can happily say that I have gone down two sizes!
As I said before I would sum up my experience at Motiv as successful. I have successfully incorporated exercise back into my life without sacrifice. I have successfully made progress with my areas of weakness. I have successfully dropped two sizes in two months. I have successfully started the path to reclaiming my healthy self.

Over the past 15 years, I have worked with several trainers in Chicago and the results I have achieved at Motiv Personal Training have been the best by far.I leave the studio feeling worked to my limit. The trainers are encouraging and energetic and each session is different, all of which keep me coming back.I have highly recommended both the Motiv Personal Training staff and facility to all my friends and family who have been interested in improving their physical and mental well-being.

It’s a great workout every time I come. It’s ease to schedule. The trainers are great and encouraging.

Jeff U.

I love the convenient location and hours. The trainers do a great job keeping us exhausted and working toward our fullest.

Bill K.

I really enjoy working out at Motiv and have learned a lot about the importance of strength training. The trainers are very helpful and encouraging. After a few months of hard work, my clothes fit better!

Rachel T.

I really enjoy the workouts here at Motiv. One of my favorite results I’ve seen is that I can finally do “real” push-ups now. Multiple push-ups. I couldn’t do that before. I’m actually excited to be able to do push-ups now.

I was referred to Motiv by my sister and a friend. I’ve been working out here for about 6 months and I’ve seen great results in the shape of my body and the percentage of body fat lost. The trainers do care about everyone and they are always there to help and guide you through the workouts. Motiv also has a very helpful newsletter with healthy tips and recipes. I’d recommend Motiv to everyone I know.

I’ve always had a problem consistently working out. Since Motiv makes working out easy and a lot fun for me, I’ve been regularly working out for over a year now.

Jeff S.

I started working out at Motiv when my baby was 7 weeks old and I’ve lost 16lbs and 2 sizes since then. It’s great to see the progress I’m making. I haven’t just lost weight, but I’ve gained lean muscle and now I feel fit and toned inside and out.

I am a cardioaholic – if it doesn’t involve a treadmill or a spin bike, I’m not interested. Yet, I consistently hear that strength training as THE key to sustained weight loss. So when my old cardio “tricks” stopped working, I explored the world of personal training to help me learn the exercises and get the results I wanted. My attempts with trainers were short-lived; I couldn’t stick with them long enough to see results… They were either insanely expensive, difficult to arrange schedules with, or a bit boring – or all of the above! So when a friend referred me to Motiv I was beyond skeptical. I went in for my “test-drive” and the next thing I knew, I signed up for 3 month… then 6 months… and now 12 months!
The atmosphere at Motiv is exactly what I was looking for – fun and upbeat with a fantastic workout. They include a mix of exercises that get your heart rate going and truly challenge your abilities. They mix it up and always have a new routine – each challenging my muscles in a new way than before. I can now do jumping lunges with ease and have friends comment on the muscles in my arms!
As a busy person, the on-line, flexible scheduling is crucial and one of the key reasons I was able to commit to a year of working out twice a week! Plus, everyone who works out and works at Motiv is awesome; fun, encouraging, and friendly, which makes working out (dare I say?) fun!
