GYMGUYZ Downtown Chicago, Naperville & Oakbrook

John is an amazing trainer. He keeps our workouts fun, interactive and his personalty is uplifting and refreshing. I highly reccomend him !

I’ve had nothing but a positive experience with GYMGUYZ. John is an amazing trainer and has been incredibly patient and easy to work with, considering I’ve never worked with a trainer before. Would highly recommend!

Great assessment session. Viraj was very thorough and professional.

Just want to publicly thank the GymGuyz, Viraj & John for the excellent service I’ve received over the past 3ms. Always professional and work with you to formulate a plan that you can both execute on.

GymGuyz was such an amazing company to work with. I had Megan as my trainer and she was the absolute best! I was training with her for only 2 months but my fitness and body is the best it’s ever been. GymGuyz also helps with your diet and making a meal plan that works for you, which was so helpful!! Love them and Megan More...

I was never a big gym guy because I always was afraid I would do something wrong to hurt myself or look like an idiot around the gym bros. So when I finally decided to get into better shape, I looked into a personal trainer to help me become familiar with lifting weights and standard gym equipment. With my work and personal life schedule, I wanted to find a trainer that could come to me just to make it easier and keep me committed. That's where GYMGUYZ came in.

Here's how they work:
We had an initial call for them to understand my goals and for me to understand the process. Viraj made it really clear that it wasn't just about the workouts but also the nutrition plan.

During the first in-person, Viraj ran me through a biometric screening and physical fitness test to get a baseline for how out shape I was. In addition to the in-person training, you get access to an app that has on-demand workout videos and the ability to track your workouts. To help me achieve my goal I opted into the nutrition coaching. I track everything I am eating and drinking and my coaches provide feedback on healthier options and ways to improve my nutrition. We found that macro tracking targets work best for my lifestyle. All sessions are designed around you and the space you have available to work out in. I have a gym in my building so we try to leverage that as much as possible. GYMGUYZ will bring in additional equipment based on the workouts.

Trainer/Coach Feedback: Viraj has helped me become more comfortable with using free weights and weight machines in the gym.

John has been helping with my functional posture via stretching and body-weight based exercises. When I started working out I dreaded each session but now I look forward to the early morning workouts to start my day the right way. I would recommend GYMGUYZ to anyone that is looking to make positive change More...

I've got a gym in my condo building that I never use because I hate running and don't really know what I'm doing with weights - working with Viraj for the past year has been a huge gamechanger for me for a bunch of reasons:

1) Convenience - first and foremost, GymGuyz is flexible enough to work with my busy schedule. I am able to schedule a personal training session any day/time of the week that is convenient for me, so if I want to do before work / after work / during lunch if I'm WFH, all of those options are possible, and all I have to do is go downstairs in my apartment building.

2) Ongoing Coaching - not only can you get the support of GymGuyz during the actual PT sessions, but also outside of the sessions you can opt for nutrition coaching as well as planning out ancillary workouts to do during off days. I'm not able to have a trainer come everyday for financial reasons, but Viraj will make sure we have an ongoing dialogue of how I can fit spinning, yoga, barre, pilates, etc. into my workout regimen, and make sure that my PT sessions line up with my ancillary workouts.

3) Motivational Relationship - honestly, Viraj is one of the nicest guys I have ever worked with. He is always my biggest champion and cheerleader as I have slowly started to see results, and is incredibly understanding of busy schedules/social obligations. That said, he's also not afraid to be respectfully stern if I have periods when I am slacking with workouts/nutrition, which I definitely need to stay motivated and on track. Overall, in the past year I have seen a huge change in my habits, body, and have gone from someone who is pretty sedentary to someone who is able to stay regularly active for the right reasons. Highly recommend GymGuyz and Viraj! More...

Great personal training group that helps with not only exercising but also diet as well. My trainer John has been helping me tremendously with achieving my weight loss goals through multiple exercises that utilize body weight. This has helped me recover quicker to get ready for my next training session which has been great for me since I hate feeling tired and sore. Also, we focus a lot on mobility movements since I sit at a desk most of the day. The result is that my posture is a lot better which allowed me to be more flexible and having the ability to have better positioning while performing the exercises. Highly recommend GymGuyz for your personal training needs! Oh and John gives me great exercises and routines to do when I’m not working out with him that are easy to incorporate in my routine.

I have been working out with Gymguyz since the beginning of December with both Viraj and John. It’s so convenient and for someone who works full time and has a toddler it really makes getting a work out in that much easier. The skill level of both trainers is outstanding. I used to work out with a private trainer at FFC and they are both at the same level as my old trainer but without the gym membership cost and a price point savings slightly lower than what I was paying for hourly session, so this is a no brainer! I just wish I had started this sooner. I also have a small gym in my building and we train there and use a mix of that equipment and stuff they bring but I could see doing these workouts anywhere, it’s the perfect option for my life. I would recommend them highly! More...

I’ve had a great experience with GYMGUYZ so far! They really tailor your workouts to your goals and I’m happy about the progress I’ve made. Megan is an amazing trainer and I definitely recommend her to anyone looking to reach their fitness goals! More...

Viraj and the team go above and beyond to cater to individual needs. there aren’t even enough words. definitely one of the tremendous positives during 2020.

I am having such a good experience working with my personal trainer! I never thought I’d be able to get back into shape again or get back into a healthy lifestyle but GymGuyz has helped me do this! I’d recommend their services to anyone from a beginner to experienced! My personal trainer (big shout out to STEPHANIE) is so helpful and personalizes all my workouts to make sure I don’t re-injure myself. Within the few months I’ve been working out with her, I’ve been losing weight, feeling stronger, and felt more energetic than I have in so many years! GymGuyz is really great and the best part is whether you need to workout in your apartment or you have access a gym, they can work around it and give you the best workouts! More...

John and Viraj at Gym Guyz are awesome. Super willing to be flexible and work around my crazy schedule. John is always introducing new workouts that are tailored to my goals and really produce results. I’d recommend Gym Guyz to anyone who’s looking for accountability or just ready to start seeing results. More...

I have enjoyed working with GYMGUYZ! My apartment gym has been closed due to COVID and it has been so convenient having Viraj bring all the fitness equipment to my apartment so I am still able to get a good workout in.

I enjoyed the convenience provided by having a trainer and the equipment come to my house so I don't have to physically go to a gym! Furthermore, I appreciated the personalized workouts that fit my body type and lifestyle. More...

Great trainer. They really know their stuff and care about clients. Specifically tailored to your goals and not a one size fits all program!

GymGuyz Chicago have been great! They spent a lot of time understanding my specific needs and goals. They really tailored my workout for me. They’re prompt, helpful, and fun!
