LEAP Chicago

LEAP is second to none. The personal instruction, community and atmosphere are unmatched! I have belonged to several gyms over the years moving from place to place, and I can hands down say I feel more accountable, more excited and more disciplined with the LEAP team. It’s a great place to be.

The LEAP experience is second to none. The facility is top notch with the latest equipment and is always freshly clean. The staff is extremely kind, knowledgable, and energetic throughout the workouts. Even if you’re doing a class, every workout feels like a personal training session because the team is dedicated to tailoring the experience to your needs. Matt (the owner) is constantly present in the gym. He’ll be sure to greet you by name as soon as you walk in the door and is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to fitness. It’s clear that he loves what he does and his passion for fitness is infectious on anyone who’s lucky enough to work with him.

I have never been a gym person. Since joining LEAP I have definitely become more fit and built up endurance. The coaches are always upbeat and motivating (even at the 6am Metcon class) ;-) . I would highly recommend LEAP if you’re just starting your fitness journey or already an athlete. Definitely something for everyone !

I joined LEAP about 3 years ago. After the pandemic, I didn’t want to go back to a large gym with lots of people on the weight floor and classes that are huge. I do personal training a few times a week and also take a few classes as well- primarily Metcon and HIIT or a Boxing class. They also have strength training classes and in 3 days you work your entire body. Matt, the owner, and his staff are very knowledgeable and create great programs for personal training and the classes.Class sizes remain small (no more than 10 or 12 people) and the place is always tidy and neat. Oh and just because it’s small doesn’t mean they don't have great equipment. They do! From dumbbells, benches, squat racks , flywheel, sleds and big tires and more, they got it. This keeps the programs varied, fun, and results showing !!Finally and probably must important are the great clients you get to work out with. They call it the LEAP family and it is! You get to know them. This makes for a very fun environment especially on those days you don’t want to go!!! You can’t let your friend down!!So if you are looking for a place to train or take classes this is the right place!

Easily one of the best gyms in Chicago. A great selection of challenging classes and training options, and some really cool equipment I hadn't seen elsewhere. The coaches and members are wonderful and the studio is immaculate. Highly recommended gym in Lakeview and worth the trip if you aren't local or have ClassPass!

LEAP has completely changed the way I view exercise and training. As a person who has led a fairly sedentary lifestyle, circuit-style gyms have always intimidated me—until I tried LEAP on a family and friends day.The classes are small in size. The trainers are incredibly friendly and encouraging. They focus on their “athletes” and provide personalized attention and instruction, even in group classes. They help me maintain accountability, and have increased my confidence to challenge myself in safe ways. I feel myself getting stronger and actually enjoying exercise!The facilities are immaculate. We all clean equipment as we workout and after class. Masks are worn by all throughout.It definitely feels like a family at LEAP. You aren’t just a number. Thanks team LEAP!

Great gym with multiple types of classes to take as well as personal training. This was the most improvement I have seen in my physical fitness during my time at this gym.

LEAP is an amazing place with a great community to get you in better shape. Matt and the other trainers are highly qualified and keep the place extremely clean at all times. I did the nutrition program in addition to group and personal training to get me in the best shape of my life. I also utilized LEAP when training for my first marathon, and Matt customized workouts to fit my marathon training schedule. You will not regret trying out LEAP!

I started going to LEAP in September of 2021 after not working out since pre covid. I immediately felt welcomed and comfortable by all the trainers there. I had originally planned on three months but loved it enough to commit to a year membership. During the year training there, I’ve never felt stronger or in better shape. The community created by the trainers with all the members is great and I’d still be there if I hadn’t moved to a Colorado!

I've been going to LEAP for the past year and have really enjoyed the community feeling here. Not only are the trainers friendly, but the owner is also there welcoming folks in most days. The group workouts are great and vary so it doesn't get boring. I also did Barbell Club which helped me increase my squat and deadlift over 30% each! Highly recommend checking this gym out.
