POW! Gym has offered me a great facility that I look forward to attending every day. The facility itself has up to date, clean equipment that allows a wide spectrum of training. The training and coaching is of the highest quality. The staff is extremely professional and polite, they make it a point to remember your name and welcome you daily as you enter the gym. You really feel like part of the POW! family.

We want one another to succeed and that energy is palpable when you walk into the gym.Come take a class and find out what you’ve been missing at every other gym. You won’t regret it!

This gym is honestly awesome! The staff are personable. Im a grad student and I was totally honest about my financial limitations, and the staff was super understanding. I like that they stick with their policies while making sure youre able to take the classes you can based on the budget you give them. Started a full membership today and Im so excited. Try it out!!!!!!!

This is my 10 yr old son review- “POW! Gym is good for all ages, kids and adults. They teach many different martial arts and strength classes. I would recommend this to many parents and children”My review- POW! Feels like family. Friendly and professional, super helpful.

POW has an amazing atmosphere and very welcoming staff. From the moment you walk in being greeted by Leo to the very moment you finish class. Ive taken two HIIT classes with Nick and loved the structure of his workout and constant motivation. Being an athlete for 19 years this style of workout is just what Im used to! I highly recommend!

Since coming to POW, I have gotten in the best shape of my life. My entire family now takes classes at POW. The staff, and all the coaches are very helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. POW has classes for all ages, and all skill levels. I highly recommend POW to anyone to wants to get in shape, maintain, or just meet some new friends.

Pow Gym has been a place Ive considered my second home for the past 4 years. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and makes you feel welcome. Its the staff and encouraging coaches and clientele that has kept me coming back year after year. Classes are challenging with a high level of instruction. Coaches are knowledgeable and held to a high standard. If your looking for a gym that will challenge you and encourage you to bring your best and be your best, Pow is the gym for you!

Top-tier gym with top-tier equipment. You also won’t find a better community in the West Loop area. The staff are extremely helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. 11/10 would recommend!!

We first joined POW! for the children’s programming and after watching the adult Muay Thai classes (with my chin on the floor in amazement) I signed myself up for an adult membership - that was over 5 years ago and we have since remained loyal and dedicated to Katalin and her team of professionals. POW! has become the nucleus of our health and fitness journey, from strength / conditioning training, Muay Thai and boxing, to private fitness sessions for my trio of children - even active play based birthday parties! POW! has shaped our minds, bodies and souls. There is truly no better place for fitness and friendship. The staff and members are welcoming and kind, we have without a doubt built lifelong relationships. I cannot put into words the energy generated when you walk through the doors of POW!, but it’s transforms you. You walk out better than you arrived, every single time.

POW is a gym that feels like a second home. The staff cares about the members and work to create a clean and healthy environment. With enough classes that can fit into almost any work schedule, POW makes working out extremely convenient.

I cannot share enough about POW! Gym and what it has done for my family! My girls have been coming here since they were very small and still look forward to coming every single time, seeing their coaches and getting to work. Whether they’ve been on the boxing program side or the speed school side, creating elite athletes is not easy and POW! makes it fun and challenging. As a mom of teen athletes, I worry about injuries and POW! Coaches know what the growing adolescent body needs and doesn’t need. They focus on not just results, but correct training techniques and individual needs of each athlete. I trust Kat, Lizzie, and the entire POW! staff to give my girls what they need to be successful athletes and all around human beings. That’s a tall order for a gym and they don’t disappoint!

Been coming to POW! for years. Recieved great training and have made many friends. Close to downtown and awesome for relieving stress.

Most enjoyable, fun, and hardest workout I have ever done with the very best trainers and students. An amazing stress reliever and a wonderful community.

I am not a corporate workout person. I believe in a corporate setting anyone can be a trainer. At this gym whether you want a good full body workout or you actually want to learn proper technique to fight, its all here. Ive been coming to this gym for almost 4 years now. You have the option to use the bags or partner up with mitts. I personally find bags extremely boring thats why I love this gym because partnering up for me makes the work out more fun. Every day and every class is different and each instructor has their own style which is nice because it doesnt get boring. Oh, and the best part is... they all KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING! They practice what they preach. They dont read a manual and lead the class with some corporate itinerary. They all have experience with martial arts or some kind of boxing. Whether youve been boxing or youre just beginning theres a place for you. Its the culture they create thats very welcoming and warm. It doesnt matter who works at POW from operations, the owner or the instructors everyone is super friendly, personable, and makes the workouts fun! Although, turnover does happen with some of the instructors they always continue to hire the best talent. If youre new to the city you may just meet some great friends as well! So come and try it out... get ready to have fun, sweat, burn a ton of calories and get fit :)

It’s a great place very professional been coming here for years it’s helped out my kid for baseball tremendously.

My boys have had such a great experience coming here. Highly recommended 👌.

Our whole family takes classes at POW! We can’t say enough about the positive community you become a part of when you walk through their doors! The staff will always make you feel welcome, no matter your age or ability. They know their stuff and always keep you challenged. 🙌 We are a stronger family because of them!

Great gym! Classes, coaches and equipment are all fantastic, and I’ve been to MANY Chicago gyms! Highly recommend any of their class offerings and especially their private classes with Coach Lizzie.

Pow is a great place to either start or continue your fitness goals. Their staff members are very knowledgeable and great at what they teach. Come give them a try.

Can’t say enough about POW. Great gym, staff and community. If you live in the West Loop you should check it out!Plenty of open gym space, ski erg, rower, assault bike, treadmill, curve and true-form runner. Indoor turf, sleds, rings even a versa climber!

POW! Is the fitness solution for our entire family. Both kids and adults love the facility and the programming. .

Great staff, great location, great experiences. Adult & kid friendly.

I love the class great instructors are great.

Awesome multifaceted gym for people of all ages!

Loved it!! Class was well a rounded, total body work out. Trainer did a fantastic job modifying exercises as needed for participants at various fitness levels. Thoroughly impressed at how well gym managed social distancing guidelines while maintaining a high level of attentiveness to its members. As someone in the healthcare industry, POW is taking all of the necessary precautions in sanitizing & disinfecting to keep everyone safe!!

From the very first day the entire staff knew my name and my ten year olds name. Excellent staff that are very encouraging and knowledgeable. They have a great system for disinfecting before, during, and after workouts. Classes are challenging, fun, and educational. A great energy in this place that just gets you excited to work out.

Small class sizes and personal attention are hallmarks of POW!UPDATE: Gym has done a fantastic job of keeping staff and members safe during COVID. Same attention to members in classes. Check them out!

Instructors for the various classes are all professionals. They also have many cardio machines available. I was satisfied with my experience here. I highly recommend this place to all my friends.

The team at POW! Gym does an amazing job with kids. We have had our kids in day-off and summer camps there several times, and they always love it. Very organized, super-friendly, cost-effective and convenient, Im always impressed with this place. Speaking on behalf of myself, my wife and two kids, we highly recommend POW! Gym!

I found a home at Pow gym. I signed up for the 2 week trial & opted to join as a full member after 1 day! The programming is challenging & constantly evolving. The caliber of the training staff & facilities are without question top notch.They are also extremely diligent & go above & beyond sanitizing & taking all the necessary precautions to keep members safe.Kudos to the independent, micro gym that has their s@#% together!Support small!!

We had an amazing superhero themed 4th birthday party for my son at POW Gym last weekend. The event was perfect. The kids had a blast, the Batman theme was well executed and most of all Lauren and Mariana were SO GOOD with the kids! They knew all of the kids names and kept them so engaged. They were also super helpful with setup and clean up. The event totally exceeded my expectations. We will be back!

I like the variety of classes they have. The classes challenge you but you can do it at your own pace. No pressure from the trainers but a lot of encouragement. The staff is helpful and friendly. It is clean and well equipped. Their classes adpt to beginners and competitors. I just enjoy working out there. Super recommended.

My 2nd grader just registered for the 6-week Parisi football conditioning class. The staff have been organized and responsive and have communicated with parents often. My son enjoyed his first class. I highly recommend this POW Gym and their kid-friendly programming.

This place is great! Super friendly, kind, and knowledgeable staff, GREAT equipment, and a training regiment that will get any person at any athletic level where they need to be. I have competed martial arts for years, and came here for my strength training, recovery, and conditioning. I lost ten lbs in only a few months, between the owner Katalin, and Coach Sue, Im moving better at 34, than I have in years. Thanks youre awesome!!

Hands down the best gym on the West side of Chicago. Staff goes out of their way to be accommodative and is super helpful and friendly. Place is uber clean and all the equipment is top of the line. Thanks for being so great!

Since starting team training with Parisi Chicago Speed Training 3 years ago, our football team has gone from an average 2 wins per season to 7 per season.Their caring & knowledgeable personal trainers take an interest in each athlete helping them reach their potential and goals.In addition to group training they offer gym memberships, personal training and double as a boxing gym.

Katalin and her team maintain an amazing gym! Everyone is extremely professional, friendly, and courteous. The facility is exceptionally clean, and the instructors are very knowledgeable. I highly recommend you check out POW!

Excellent gym for adults and kids, experienced or beginner. Great instructors and a variety of classes create a perfect opportunity to achieve your goals. Members are dedicated and friendly and the environment is very welcoming and unpretentious.

This review is for my personal trainer Alex F. Ive been working with Alex for nearly 2 years, and shes fantastic. Shes motivating, engaged, and pays extraordinary attention to detail, particularly form.

I really love the variety and the intensity of the workouts. Im in terrible shape but I feel like I get to push myself every class. More importantly, the staff and owner are awesome. Its a very welcoming vibe without being pushy :-)

Great workout experience. The instructor was amazing and the class size is just right. I like the combination of kickboxing and cardio drills. I will be back soon.

Love how this gym feels like home and all the staff feel like family. I have been coming here for over 6mnts now and I love it so much. Couldn’t see myself going anywhere else. Fun and friendly and truly wants you to be here. You don’t feel like just another number like at larger gyms. This gym experience is personal and comfortable. If you want to have fun and get a great workout this is definitely the place for you. If you come to POW! You won’t regret it. (Try B.A.D)

Extremely attentive staff. The trainers really want you to reach your goals and will help you any way they can. They helped me lose weight and lead a healthier lifestyle. Amazing experience!

Their kids day camps are an awesome way to fill the day when CPS students are off school. We never have an issue with scheduling, the staff is always very welcoming and our son always comes home exhausted (win for mom!). Flexible, dependable and fun. Highly recommend.

The diverse class variety suits various tastes. Staff and instructors, including the owners, are knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and very welcoming. Instructors do a great job managing the group while offering individualized attention to each student. Love that classes are open and effective for all skill levels. Get in shape, have fun, and learn to protect yourself all in one go!

Katalin and her team are top notch. Their approach is based in years of experience, expertise, and continued learning. I’ve taken self defense before and never felt so comfortable and empowered by the strategies. It’s also very special what they are doing to spread this work across the city to make us all stronger. Thank you POW and looking forward to coming to more classes!

We did an hour long team building self defense class at POW and everyone loved it! I was amazed with how much I learned in just an hour but it also made me realize how much I do not know. I will definitely be back!

Environment is clean, welcoming and family friendly. The staff is also friendly and patient and encouraging. There is a good variation of classes and services. My son feels comfortable and does not feel judged.

My daughter just finished her 1st day of summer camp and she loves it. She asked if she could go all summer! Lizzy was great answering all our questions and is really attentive to the kids.

Classes are for everyone regardless of their fitness level. Modifications are suggested. Overall atmosphere is that everyone belongs. Always nice to walk in and have people know you by a first name.

What a fantastic workout environment - high energy and the class flew by. before i knew it the class was over - i was dripping sweat and felt accomplished.

Our family has been a member of the Parisi Speed Training School for the past couple of years. Our boys love the trainers/coaches and have shown great improvement. We will continue to recommend this program.

Love the courses that are offered. It is a great experience every time I get in there. The staff is professional and very personable and the hours work great with my variable work schedule.

POW is a great facility to learn self defense & strength and conditioning for yourself and family with a knowledgeable and welcoming staff. I went to Katalin to learn Krav Maga and found so much more. Their strength and conditioning classes will transform your body. And its not only a physical practice, they can also support your nutritional needs.Their kids classes support kids of all levels and assist each child in uncovering their inner strength and confidence. They are well thought out classes to balance kids strengths.They also have the most creative kids Birthday parties. The Nerf party was awesome!

There are many great things I could say about POW! Gym, one that really goes above and beyond for me is the commitment not only to the children’s physical well being, but also their academics. My children look forward to going and are typically reluctant to leave.

Love the classes and the instructors! The focus on alignment is refreshing and I’m always sore after coming here.

Wow! POW! That was fun! Welcoming gym, clean & organized from the staff to the tribe. Robbie is an A+ trainer for the kids & adults! He made it fun, easy to understand & I want to go back for more!!

Took my kindergarten class here for a great hour of fun. The staff is incredible and I highly recommend you get involved with POW.

Excellent trainers, challenging classes and Very helpful staff.

The staff and the programs are excellent! My kids love this place and if I had the time I would be taking classes there too!

Just started at this gym and I love it. The 24hr access is great. I love the BJJ classes. Theyre exhilrating and I enjoy being a part of a family thats helping me achieve my goals and dreams of becoming a police officer and overall healthy individual.

They have the best trainers and staff! My son LOVES training with Brennan and the other trainers at Parisi I lived in the city when I found the program and have since moved to Countryside and it is definitely worth the commute.

An amazing group of folks. responsive. warm, friendly, and engaging.

Great class options for kids (including afterschool pick up from Skinner Elementary); staff is very engaged.

Great variance in training options, all at the highest level of expertise. As a first timer I felt extremely welcome and loved personal training with Jimmy Do.

Loooove it! Super clean place, excellent trainers, challenging classes and helpful staff. I cannot recommend it enough. Just come.

Any place that allows a venue for Military Vets to workout and talk for physical and mental health on top of training the community is 5 stars to me.

My son and I love the friendly staff and instructors at POW, this is a great facility that makes you feel like part of the family!!!!!! I would definitely recommend.

Great coaches and friendly staff. My son enjoys his workouts and it’s fun for him!

Friendly and welcoming staff, the coaches are great with kids - patient and encouraging

The instructors are great, the studio is spacious and very modern, and you always get a wonderful workout.

Professional staff and facility, they are the best!!!!! Very happy with my sons physical and mental development. Coach Brennon and the staff are top notch!!!!!

This is a serious, not foofy place! The content of the self-defense class I took was relevant & relatable. I felt like I learned a lot & got a good workout in the 1.5 hour class. The instructors were serious, bad ass women who were also approachable!

Ive been coming here for many years now. The instructors and the facility are top notch.

Family friendly, scalable difficulty, affordable, and a good variety of classes. Very nice staff too.

The attention to detail that the trainers give is second to none.
