GFT

As a recent college graduate, not only did I receive a diploma, I also gained a lot of weight! Trying to juggle school, studying and living a healthy lifestyle was hard for me to obtain and I was always very inconsistent with it. I was tired of this routine and never getting any results. So I decided to search for gym memberships and personal training sessions. I've met and spoke to various gym owners and tried a couple free trials but none of them intrigued me like GFT did. What won me over about GFT was the fact that they provide nutrition guidance. As someone whose had eating problems before, nutrition was one if not the most important factor I was looking for in a training package. I've only been at GFT for about a month but I'm already seeing results thanks to Arthur whose one of the personal trainers at GFT. He helps you stay motivated and pushes you beyond your limits to achieve your goals. He's constantly checking on you to see if everything is going well and if you're struggling with anything. He's very supportive and nice like everyone else at GFT. I would highly recommend this gym for anyone who wants to lose weight, improve their health or obtain a healthy lifestyle. More...

When you know you need to make a change, sometimes even making the first step of filling out a online appointment request is hard. I am SO THANKFUL that I continued the request and attended my fitness assessment. I nearly cried during that assessment, realizing how badly I needed help and how out of shape I had become. Get Fit Together is hands down the best gym that I have ever been to. The personalized attention that Joe provides to each client really empowers you to WANT to do better and get healthy. The workouts are custom to your needs and modified to your fitness ability. Joe and his team gently get you out of your comfort zone and encourage you to do your best. Everyone I've met at the gym has been very supportive and non-judgmental. If you are looking for a great place to start your fitness transformation, contact Joe today! More...

I highly recommend this place to anyone. More...

I've been working with Arthur for personal training and attending small group training at GFT for the past 3 weeks and have already lost 9 pounds. After a thorough orientation and fitness evaluation, Joe and Arthur work with you to set personal fitness goals, teach you about nutrition, and give you the tools you need to reach your goals. The classes are challenging but Arthur makes sure to explain the exercises, focusing on using proper form and provide alternatives for all levels or to work around any injury. During personal training sessions, Arthur is motivating and challenges me to keep me going when I want to stop. The weekly personal training holds me accountable with both nutrition and workouts. Arthur is knowledgeable about correct technique to prevent injury and creating different and challenging workouts. I've joined other gyms, done classes and worked with other trainers in the past and I've seen the most results with GFT. More...

22 lbs in 2 months...didn’t see that coming! This gym surprised me. I thought about personal training and decided...what do I have to lose? I never thought I would see these amazing results! Raj is a visionary. No joke! His specifically designed workouts have toned my body to the way I want to look. He listened to what I wanted to achieve and we set out on this journey together. He continually keeps me motivated, encouraging me to “Power up!” I found out that these challenging workouts can be fun and not just going thru hell for an hour. I have found a higher level of confidence and strength I never thought I had in me. I find myself asking, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?” More...

Having GFT Personal Training & Group Fitness, 4723 Main St, Lisle, IL 60532 in Lisle is great!

By far the best gym experience ever. I was older and more out of shape than anyone else at the classes, but I was actually happy to get there and work. Everyone super friendly. I've taken all kinds of classes through the years and what I appreciate the most are instructors who know how to push me just enough without crossing into injury. There's a line. And the 3 different people I worked with at GFT knew that line for me. They were absolutely terrific. Joe is extremely attentive and mellow at the same time. An unusual combo. And the yoga class I took with Donny was amazeballs. There I am in this unglamorous gym, a gym gym, but with some pretty cool Indian dance music playing in the background and Donnie transporting us to a great place, great energy, great instruction. Again, knowing the line. Watchful and friendly. If I lived in Lisle, or anywhere in the western Chicagoland burbs, I'd for sure continue with a year-long membership. I was only there for a short time, and am so glad I tried GFT out. But now it's going to be tough finding someone comparable back home. More...

The workouts are always different so it never gets old and boring. I feel healthy and stronger and have lost some weight too. But really just wanted to feel more energy and stronger more than anything. Joe has helped me eat better too. More...

This fitness club classes and instructors are wonderful! I love going here because the classes are so effective, fun and instructors are the best. Personal Training sessions are very effective also. I had terrific results from both, personal training sessions and classes. These guys definitely know what they are doing.I especially want to recognize and thank Joe and Raja. They provide excellent tips and suggestions to ensure we avoid injury and get the most from our class experience. Thanks to your great staff for making Get Fit Together a fitness. I will continue to enjoy and refer to others. More...

I had my first visit to Get Fit Together 2 years ago when I bought a Groupon. My plan was to only use the visits the Groupon allowed, but needless to say I was hooked. Joe listened to what my goal was and helped me achieve it. Instead of giving me a strict diet, he took a look at what I was already eating and gave me healthy alternatives (no more Weight Watchers). I worked out 2 to 3 times a week with Joe and I walked on my treadmill 2 times a week for additional cardio. Joe checked my food log and had me weigh in weekly to track my progress. I reached my goal of loosing 25 lbs. Joe was my biggest cheer leader and never gave up on me even when I gave up on myself. I also made friends with Joe's other clients along the way and that made it all that much more fun. Here it is 2 years later and I'm still working out at Get Fit Together. Give it a try if you are looking for a more personalized workout plan that gets results by pushing you to your maximum potential. More...

I was not interested in joining another large gym and being just another number in a mediocre group class, so I am so thankful I found GFT. Joe's knowledge and approach exceeded my expectations, he is not your typical trainer, which is what makes your experience challenging, motivating and wanting to come back for more. It is great to find a place that really cares about you and helps you reach your fitness goals. More...

Joe McDonald changed my whole outlook on fitness and quite honestly changed my life! I have worked out on and off throughout my whole life but never really achieved the "look" that I wanted until I worked with Joe. Joe showed me what I was really capable of, and what I could achieve through hard work, consistency, dedication AND the proper diet. He really cares and took the time to educate me on my diet and the proper way to exercise. My experience working with Joe had such a huge impact on me because I walked into his gym thinking I knew what I was doing, however, he very gently showed me a new way and approach to fitness. I say very "gently" because I was quite stubborn when it came to my diet and Joe very "gently" reminded me that I would have a much easier workout if I was properly fueled! As I started incorporating all of Joe's suggestions and actually listened to him, I was amazed at the way my body was able to perform and there is no better feeling in the world than feeling "fit". I highly recommend Joe to anyone considering a personal trainer, he will change your body and your life and you'll have results you never dreamed were possible! As a 41 year old woman I'm in the best shape of my life, thanks to what I learned from Joe! Ladies, don't be afraid to lift those heavy weights, it's the true fountain of youth!!! More...

Today at 3:00 PM GFT was a game changer for me when I started with Joe almost 2 years ago. The first day during my fitness assessment I was quickly proven that I was out of shape. In conjunction with my lower back issues, I wasn't surprised that that needed to make a change in my fitness routine. A few years prior, I had been active in martial arts but never went to a gym or focused on my diet. Joe has helped me understand the basics of good nutrition so I could make it through a full 1 hour session. He also taught me the techniques which have helped me achieve the goals we set together. Since I started, I added 20# of lean muscle and my back issues are a thing of the past. Joe has a way to motivate and encourage me when I'm at my best and at my worst. Without him I would have quit long ago. If you want results then you must try GFT. You will not be disappointed. More...

I had never been comfortable in a gym and until strongly encouraged by my doctor, never really exercised and didn't watch my diet. After a couple years of no results in the gym on my own I finally considered using a trainer. At the advice and referral from of another GFT I decided to schedule a session with Joe. He immediately got me comfortable in the gym and after a year I'm in best shape ever. Still a work in progress, but if it wasn't for Joe's guidance, concern, and attentiveness to my particular goals I would have never lasted a year. I enjoy going to gym now and plan on being a GFT member for a long time! More...
