Nick is one of the best trainers! He knows how to cue the exact muscle groups for maximal activation. The sessions are tough but so effective! This is worth a try for anyone looking to increase the strength in a measurable, scientific, and significant way!

I’ve been going to the Wellness Lab once a week for almost a year now, and its a great workout. I always leave feeling like I accomplished something. Nick, Eric, Owen, are all fantastic and super knowledgeable. They never shy away from answering all my questions and really know how to motivate you!

Highly recommend the lab. I have been working out here for about a year and it’s a much better workout than what your standard gym offers. The staff is excellent and if you’re looking for a new way to challenge yourself, this is the place.

I always know I’ll get a great workout in when going to the Wellness Lab! They do a really nice job of personalizing your workout to your individual goals. Their training has really helped me learn how to target each muscle. Highly recommend trying out the Wellness lab if you are looking to switch up and improve your workouts.

As a fitness instructor, I get plenty of exercise, but needed to build strength in my upper body without adding another long exhausting workout. ARX not only provided the quick hit to my arms, back, shoulders, and chest, but helped to correct my posture from years on the bike. Even if you’re already into fitness, Nick and his team will take your game to the next level.

Couldn’t be more happy with the service that’s been provided to me. Best workout you’ll have in under 30 mins hands down. Professional and knowledgeable trainers in 1 on 1 sessions will help you build a foundation for greatness.

ARX machines are mind-blowing… I still sometimes laugh at how quickly my muscles are pushed to the limit and just can’t do anymore. The coolest part is seeing the current workout graph superimposed on the previous session and the real time comparison of your results. Seeing the strength increase like that pushes you even more, as opposed to comparing data after you’re already done. The 30 minutes is no gimmick, these are measurable, impressive results. And yet, all of this efficiency does not come at the compromise of safety. Nick and Owen have helped me continue to make strength improvements all while nursing a pretty bad prior shoulder injury. Nick has a rare level of attention to detail when it comes to coaching cues, biomechanics and good form… especially in this age when personal trainers think the job is just about pushing buttons and occasionally yelling at you while they check their cell phones. (I would know, I used to have to hire them for a gym I owned and there were so many poor quality trainers out there). Lastly, the thing I love most about the Wellness Lab and the reason I recommend it is that Nick really cares about you. He truly, sincerely cares about everyone from the middle aged mom to the 80 year old grandpa and you are important to him even if you’re not a 20 year old elite athlete. If strength, muscle mass and bone density are important to you, you owe it to yourself to give Wellness Lab a try.

The staff is second to none - very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. There isnt a more efficient way of training than using the ARX systems.The staff will have you looking like Schwarzenegger in his prime if youre willing to put in the work

Nick is one of the best trainers I have worked with. He is very knowledgeable and knows how to get best out of your workout. ARX workout is short and intense which makes it very appealing. I highly recommend this place.

Two parts to this.First to understand that I am 53 and have weight trained for the last 3 decades - 5 days a week, 10 hours a week. I was introduced to ARX over a year ago. What I can say is that my body currently is in better shape than at any other time in my life. We have been able to finally give my body the symmetry that I wanted, improved my range of motion, and have added mass to my legs that have always been resistant. Unlike some people who train ARX once a week - which is great, I have elected to take it to another level and train with Nick 3-4 times a week. To compare, that is 1.5 to 2 hours a week compared to 10 hours in my past. It is the most effective ways to work out and I personally I could never go back to a traditional gym unless to use it as a social outlet. It is not an effective use of my time and money to be perfectly honest.Beyond the technology is Nick as a trainer. I have also used trainers consistently. I live in downtown Chicago and had always used trainers at Equinox in Gold Coast. Additionally since I travel for work weekly - prior to COVID - and I use ARX in cities across the country whereever it is available. ARX is an incredible tool but you will be limited if you are being instructed by someone that doesnt understand how to utilize the technology to maximize your potential and understands the human body.The technology and the training surpasses anything that I have found in any other major US city.

For years I’ve weight trained, but this workout was like nothing I’ve ever done. Feeling sore for sure. Incredible it only takes 30 mins a week!

After years of pain and discomfort I decided to try to find the root of my problem. I never knew I was flat footed until I went to the Wellness Lab. I was shocked to find out that all of my issues derived from a condition I didnt even know I lived with. I am now on a custom designed program to correct my issue and alleviate my pain. Thank you to the Wellness Lab and their incredible staff!

The best workout Ive ever done! It was my first ARX training session and I had no idea what Id signed up for. Nick was extremely helpful and informative in explaining every aspect of the equipment and the correct postures and alignment to get the most benefit out of the exercises I performed. This was by far the hardest workout Ive every done in only 25 minutes. I was sore for 4 days following and will definitely be seeking this out when I return to Australia and wherever I will be travelling to next. Unfortunately, I wasnt able to return for a second session while I was in Chicago but will definitely be back next time I am there. Thank you for opening my eyes to ARX!

Ive been using ARX for a couple of months now and can both feel and see my muscle growth in ways I cant compare to the regular gym routine I had for over a year.Nick is a great and motivating trainer who knows how to pair a great playlist with your workout!

The live data that shows your force output compared to your last workout is extremely motivating.

I have used an ARX machine with a few different trainers now (in LA and then here in Chicago at the Wellness Lab)The trainers at Wellness Lab have been by far the best. Their understanding of the body & the ARX machines are unparalleled & bring great energy to the workout to motivate you to give everything you have (while maintaining proper form & function)Travel often takes me out of Chicago but I know that every time I am back, I am going to Wellness Lab to get my workouts in.Made some clear, measurable gains in strength, output, and physical shape in about 2 months of doing ARX at the Wellness Lab once every 5 - 7 days.100% recommend the ARX machines + doing it with the trainers at the Wellness Lab!!
