I can’t recommend MSP enough to anyone looking to join a supportive fitness community! I’ve not only gotten stronger and healthier but enjoyed the process of lifting safely, consistently, and with marked progress. The coaches are attentive, skilled, and genuinely care about helping clients meet their specific goals. On top of that, the community of other gym goers is awesome and super supportive. A year later, I still only have great things to say about MSP!

I started coming to MSP in Lisle in early 2024, and it has been a positive experience! As you age the body changes and sometimes a 45 minute circuit works, but not as efficiently and effectively as you want. I realized this since the pandemic, when my fitness took a hit, and I realized that I needed to make a change. I started with 2 months of 1 on 1 personal training to get my body moving, lifting some weights, and learning proper technique. I also started MSP Lisle's nutrition coaching in June for 4 months, but in hindsight I wish I had started the nutrition when I first started training! I've learned that lifting and cardio can help with health results, but nutrition, sleep, and stress management are also so important for body composition changes! When I dialed these in, I started seeing awesome results. Also, if you have a long day at work and you feel mentally drained, the coaches here can brighten up your day and make your workout a pleasant one...This has been life changing, and I've had a positive outcome here. Every day is a new day to learn, to live healthy, and to have fun. JT, Ashley, and the team do make it awesome!

About a year ago, I was looking for a place to kickstart my journey back to exercising again. Little did I know that MSP was not only the solution to fall back in love with working out consistently but it has become a place I look forward to going, with ease and excitement. Exercises are personalized depending on your level and goals, not only for private and semi private sessions but also for the days you train on your own, so there’s continuity in your practice. What makes this gym even more special is its people. All trainers are dedicated and knowledgeable, but also genuinely friendly and supportive and they instill the same in their clients, so everybody is always welcoming and fun to train around with.

Amazing Gym and Coaches! I’ve been training at Midwest Strength & Performance for just under a year now, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and fitness. The semi-private training sessions are awesome — the coaches create workouts tailored specifically for you, even though you’re in a small group. The facility has everything you need, but what really makes this place stand out is the people. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely care about helping you reach your goals. And the community, everyone is so friendly and supportive that it makes showing up so much easier. If you’re looking for a gym where you’ll feel welcome and actually see results, this is the place to go!

Midwest Strength and Performance is a great gym. The coaches are all great to work with, everyone is friendly and it is a positive environment to work out in. It can be intimidating to walk into a gym if you haven’t worked out in a while, but everyone here makes you feel welcome. I have been a member for two years and couldn’t be happier.

Good gym. Great people. Honestly I’ve done different workout stuff in the past - but never weight lifting. Was always intimidated by it. Avoided it for years by doing things like strip mall group classes, running (lots of running), stuff like that. Made various levels of progress. But nothing compares to the progress I saw in my first few months with these guys. Could feel it, see it, and others could too. The team and other members are great. Real people from all walks of life. Super supportive. Never been uncomfortable or intimidated. Grateful to have found them.

TJ and the team at MSP do a great job with my son and his baseball team. They teach fundamentals, accountability and discipline while maintaining a fun and engaging environment.

Great community with encouraging and knowledgeable coaches!

MSP is an amazing gym for strength training at all levels! JT, Abby, Kael and Victoria are excellent coaches! I highly recommend it for people who are new to strength training and people who want to get to the next level and set personal records. The community at MSP is also great. I have made new friends and I look forward to working out with the other members. The tight knit community and the personalized coaching are what set MSP apart from other gyms. I came to MSP with no background in lifting heavy weights. I have been a serious long distance runner for most of life, but I decided to start lifting to improve my strength for injury prevention, better health and longevity. I started by training 1:1 at MSP with JT. He gave me a free intro and evaluation. He helped me learn the movements and coached me with excellent cues and technique pointers. I transitioned to semi-private classes, which are sessions with 6 or fewer people working with 1 coach for 1 hour. Each person has a customized program that is updated weekly based on their goals and progress. Over the past 9 months I have improved many lifts including squat, bench and deadlift. I went from no experience lifting to benching 185 lbs and trap deadlifting 390 at 150lbs body weight. JT gave me very specific exercises to work on my weaknesses and I have gotten stronger. I notice my increased strength and balance improving my everyday life. Strength training at MSP has also contributed to my running success. This year I ran a 1:22 half marathon and I won my age group (40-44). I also got 4th place in a triathlon and second place in a 5k. Overall, I highly recommend MSP!

Awesome friendly environment. Great, knowledgeable friendly coaches. Super supportive members and it’s just a great environment. Don’t delay, join! I wanted a year to have the courage to walk in. Biggest regret!
