Strive La Grange Park (Classes & Personal Training)

I get personal training here. It has definitely helped with both my physical and mental well-being. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who want an inclusive and positive environment.

We do couples training with Jesus, and he keeps us on track. He actually checks our form, and pushes us appropriately to do more. We started out exercising zero days a week, and are up to 3 days now. Everyone that we’ve met there has been super nice and supportive. We felt super awkward when we started because we had no clue what to do, but the team there made it really easy for us to adjust to a lifestyle that incorporates fitness. Jesus is such a valuable member of the Strive team!

I’ve been at Strive for two years now and love it! I do personal training with Vic, one of the owners. She is such a hard working person who creates challenging workouts for me. I never come out of a workout feeling like it was easy and I am always so glad I did it. She pushes me and I am so much stronger than when I started. Shawn and Victoria have created a place with community that will support you and your goals. Strive is a special place. 🙌🏻

Mid April 2023 I discovered that I was losing weight but I was doing absolutely nothing physically active to lose weight. I wasn’t getting stronger, I was getting aggressively weaker by the day and got worried. I was always curious about what the blue and green place was near my house in La Grange Park. So I put in an online request and Beidy called me the next day. Here I am almost July 2023 and not only am I growing an ab or two and a couple of biceps, I’m growing the confidence I somehow lost through college, covid, and everything in between. I brought my husband along for the ride and I think he loves it more than I do because he was a college D1 swimmer and also lost it until Strive came along. I genuinely believe in Strive, and I believe in what they are trying to accomplish for the community. Is it expensive? Yeah. But is it worth it? Absolutely. Shawn, Beidy, Colleen, and others have been instrumental in this journey we happened into. Try Strive, walk in there, see what you can do because I bet it’s way more than you think it is. It certainly was for me.

Being a member of Strive for the past 4 years has not only helped me physically but mentally as well. I’m a busy mom juggling my work schedule , kids activities and my own school schedule , so days can become hectic. Strive has helped me stay focused and has helped me reach my goals , such as doing PT sessions to train for a marathon in 2021 . Every one at Strive from the staff to the owners are very helpful and knowledgeable about fitness . I highly recommend Strive 4 fitness !

I’ve been going to Strive since November of 2021. In about a year and four months time I lost over 150 pounds and over 27% body fat, as well as improved my strength and agility greatly. They have multiple location that are each equal in excellence. Each instructor is superb and brings their own individuality skill to classes and fitness overall but what they all share in common is their passion for helping each member succeed. If you are a beginner or a seasoned athlete Strive is the place for you.

Would definitely recommend this place. It is reasonably priced for college students. Great people, coaches & team. Very supportive of one another to succeed. Do various challenges to improve in health (both nutrition and workout challenges—have done fundraising to important causes too) and winners win money. Have a variety of workouts that target on getting stronger, building lean muscle, losing weight. Great HIIT exercises which have been proven to lose weight. Many various (cycling, various HIIT exercises, exercises with bands, kickboxing, building strength/weights exercises, yoga, maul dog’s fight club, cardio) classes offered throughout the day for 7 days of the week at various locations - Midway, Riverside, LaGrange Park. There are classes offered for kids and I believe you can do a birthday party workout for kids. Definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone. May the Lord bless you and the business!

I had a fun workout with Rob! The workouts were not complicated and could be modified for a easier/harder workout. This company is also doing a ton for the Village of La Grange Park. Great establishment. Highly recommend!

It’s been 3 years since I decided to walk in the door at Strive and it has been life changing. I finally found a place I can be comfortable and a place that keeps me engaged by offering a huge variety of workouts and continually evolving/changing it up. I came in the door so unhappy at 39% body fat, overweight, and frustrated with all my yo-yo diets. I fell in love immediately with my Strive Fit Fam! The support and positive vibes at Strive made me embrace the fitness lifestyle. Personal training with Shawn Groll helped shape me physically and mentally. I am now 27% body fat, a certified NASM instructor and I work at Strive! Make that leap, try your first free class, and never look back. Strive changes lives everyday ❤️

Strive has been life changing for me, from the moment I took my first (free) class, I was hooked ! Besides the variety of classes, times and locations to choose from, Strive also offers personal training, ultimate bootcamps, class marathons, weight/fat loss challenges, dual instructor and themed classes, plus a new outdoor facility coming soon at Memorial Park.The owners, Shawn and Victoria, are incredible, and have created a non-judgmental, family-like atmosphere. All the instructors, along with the members, are so supportive and encouraging -- I've never be experienced this at another gym before.
