My wife and I trained with Alex. It was a great experience. My wife never had done any circuit training before, and she enjoyed the challenge.

I’ve been training with Kip in Vernon Hills for a few months and have seen great results. My strength and endurance have improved significantly, and every session is well planned, motivating, and tailored to my goals. Kip is very positive, and genuinely supportive. Highly recommend Kip and Herman if you’re looking to get stronger and build stamina! More...

I hired Herman when I had health issues due to lack of exercise. Herman provided real personalized training and he improvised it as I made progress. He was flexible with my schedule and altered some of.the exercises to fit my preferences. He used breaks between the exercises to explain the science behind it, and how it will help to improve my overall health. What I liked the most about his training is the motivation and positive attitude he instills in you towards exercise. It really helped me to make exercise as part of my daily routine, and it also provided tremendous health benefits and made me more stronger. I strongly recommend Herman. More...

Thank you Seby! It was a pleasure working with you. It’s always fun to see what the body is capable of after a long time off.

I can’t say enough good things about Herman—he’s hands down the best personal trainer I’ve ever worked with!
I recommend him to all my friends and colleagues because he’s just that great.
Whether you prefer training at home or at his gym, Herman offers incredibly flexible services. Personally, I love going to his gym because it’s right around the corner for me.
One of the things I appreciate most is that the first 30-minute session is free. During that time, Herman really takes the opportunity to understand your needs. He listens closely, observes your body mechanics, assesses your strength and flexibility, and identifies any areas that may need attention. He also provides online sessions for dietary advice, which is a great bonus.
Once he gets to know you, Herman customizes every training session to suit your goals and physical condition. I’ve tried online trainers before, but I can honestly say that working with someone in person like Herman makes a world of difference. He pays close attention to every joint and muscle movement, helping you perfect your form and maximize your results.
His gym is fully equipped with everything you need for a great workout—and the best part is, it’s never too crowded. You get to focus, enjoy your session, and truly make progress.
Herman has made me feel safe, supported, and comfortable throughout our journey together. His professionalism and dedication shine through in every session, making each one both productive and enjoyable.
Thank you, Herman, for helping me feel strong, healthy, confident, and beautiful!

I started working with Herman 4 months ago and I can already see changes in my muscle strength and tone. I would definitely recommend Herman. He's knowledgeable, reliable and motivating. He has never once canceled a session and he always comes prepared with new ideas and keeps the workouts fresh. I appreciate his attention to form and his ability to make my workouts both efficient and effective! More...

Herman is one of the best trainers, if not THE best trainer, out there. He is constantly pushing you through the workouts and explaining things along the way. He is very kind and welcoming and he makes training fun and not something that just feels like a chore. He also helps with being able to change around the mindset when it comes to workouts so that you not just look good but feel good and motivated as you go. Herman's training has helped me be able to push myself to go to the gym rather than giving up because I'm too busy. I couldn't be happier with my training sessions! More...

I’ve been focusing on strength training with Herman for 5 months and I’m very happy with my progress. I can feel muscles developing and my pants are much looser in the waistline. Herman is very knowledgeable, challenges me, and makes me feel motivated. I would recommend his services to anyone looking to incorporate strength training into their fitness routine. More...
How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
I will take away all the guesswork for you when it comes to exercise and nutrition.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
The secret is that you know exactly what to do to get your dream body. You're just missing the motivation and accountability. I will fill that gap for you!
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing my clients gain the ability to be more active in their own lives and their kids' lives.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Seeing parents lose track of their health and fitness because their kids have become the main priority. I noticed that when I started to work with parents, their physical and mental health skyrocketed. This actually strengthened their relationship with their kids because they were able to be more active again.
Why should our clients choose you?
They shouldn't. Every trainer provides the same services for the most part. The key is finding a trainer you click with. That's why I offer a complimentary first session so you can decide if we'd be a good fit for each other!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
If you decide to purchase personal training sessions, I include nutrition and accountability trackers that I share with you to keep track of healthy habits and weight loss goals.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I believe it's up to you to decide if you're comfortable working an in-home trainer. I take good care of my health and hygiene year-round.

Partner In-Home Training
If you like to workout with a friend, I will train you both at one of your homes. Most of my partner clients see faster results because they hold each other accountable!
