I have trained with Andrew for about 6 months. All positive things to say about Andrew. In summary, I’ve seen aggressive improvements in my overall health and strength. Few additional comments:-Andrew is great with keeping a routine & communication with his customers. Andrew is generally engaging and pleasant to be around.-Andrew knows so much about nutrition, setting achievable goals, and helpful tips for a structured diet.-Andrew provides proper workout structure, and proper form guidance. Ask any question and expect a detailed answer and tips on how to improve. Specifically, I had an issue where my groin was hurting during a squat routine. Andrew recommended additional exercises which resolved the issue.

An average gym let down by limited cardio classes (only 7 or 8 similar classes per week, no cycling), older equipment (cardio, kettlebells), short hours and has recently started to let some female instructors work out without masks, which appears to violate Chicago's Phase IV guidance. You never see staff cleaning equipment in the evenings, but on the bright side, it's rarely crowded and is conveniently located.

Member since 2019. Great gym. Good people. Always ample equipment in the morning, never need to wait for a rack.

It's pricier than most, but the quality of the staff, amenities, resources, and (for me) the location all vastly outweigh the increase cost. Any other gym that offers anything similar is gonna be maybe 15-20 bucks less per month than this gym. I think it's worth it.

This business deserved a 5-star review for the way they've handled COVID19. Clean facilities, great communication, and diligent monitoring to be sure that members are safe while using their gym. I transferred here from EBC and couldn't be happier with my decision.

I’m visiting from out of state and I couldn’t be happier with RNG. From the moment I arrived I felt right at home. Ann checked me in and got me familiar with all the amenities of the facility. Everything was so clean and well maintained. There was a variety of exercise equipment and plenty of space. When I travel back to Chicago again I know where I’m getting my workout in everyday - The Commuters Realtor
