POW! Gym Chicago & Chicago Parisi Speed School

Having been a member of 5 different gyms (2 strength/conditioning, 1 wrestling, 1 boxing, 1 MMA) I’ve found POW to be the cleanest, most professional, welcoming, and accessible gym by far.There are at least three other reasons for why POW is an excellent gym:1. POW has the equipment and space I need to do any of the aforementioned activities (Strength/conditioning, wrestling, boxing, MMA).2. The owner clearly only hires qualified staff who contribute to the professional/welcoming environment.3. I have seen both families and high-level athletes in this gym. It takes a certain kind of gym to accommodate both.That being said, I have no problem stating that POW is the single best gym in West Loop.If I recall correctly, I have only ever written 2 Google reviews in my life. The reason why I took the time to write this one is so that you can join POW, give them business, and keep them around so I can continue to enjoy this gym for years to come.Chris

I've been coming here for many years now. The instructors and the facility are top notch. Highly recommend!

Fantastic option for a kids bday party! We had 22 kiddos and the coaches were amazing. They are so organized and made hosting our daughter's party such a breeze. The communication was stellar and we're so thankful! Everyone had a great time thanks to the wonderful staff. Thank you!

Great place to train. Friendly staff, clean and upbeat gym, great coaches. 10/10 all around

I used to be one of their top costumers for years. Needless to say we won’t be going back here ever again. This is not a safe gym to attend.

Small class sizes and personal attention are hallmarks of POW!2023 UPDATE: was just thinking during this morning’s class how grateful I am for this community! I look around class and everyone is a familiar face- supporting, encouraging and joking around. ❤️❤️❤️2022 UPDATE: Gym has done a fantastic job of keeping staff and members safe during COVID. Same attention to members in classes. Check them out!

Pow is a great and safe place to either start or continue your fitness goals. Pow's staff are very knowledgeable and great at what they teach . The members are kind and fun to be around. From kids to adults it's a fun and safe place to train. Come check it out.

I rarely leave reviews, but POW is a hidden gem that I wish I knew about earlier. It's probably the only gym I can think of/describe as a family gym. I've hopped around different boxing gyms, boutique studios, and commercial gyms and I have never seen a place where kids, teens, and their parents are all getting technical/safe and high quality training in boxing, Muay Thai or whatever you're looking for. Definitely recommend dropping into a class and see how welcoming the members/staff are.

Our first month at Pow is coming to a close as we enter month 2 my son and I must say that the staff, and members are amazing. The staff is helpful, insightful and motivating and so are the members. Pow is a whole vibe. I look forward to going and when something gets in my way of going I’m bummed out and miss it like crazy. I’ve been to other gyms but no where that has made me actually want to be consistent nor have I ever had so much fun working out. Did I mention my son and I lost a combined 28 pounds month 1! We showed up of course but the coaches know what they are doing and help you reach your goals from whatever fitness level you are at. I love our new Gym!! POW is the Sugar Honey Iced Tea!!

I absolutely LOVE the boxing classes (great options for beginners and more advanced as well). The schedule of various types of adult classes (strength, boxing, conditioning) is robust making it nice for those with a busy/unpredictable schedule. Kat and the rest of the staff are knowledgeable, friendly, personalized in approach when needed and always bring super positive energy!
