Been here twice with my CP and taken Abs and Ass (yes that’s the class name) with Todd and it’s an awesome workout. I like his teaching format and the fact that he takes the time to correct your form and explain what part of your body you are working. I have also tried cardio box with Christina and she actually lets u hit stuff!!! Loveeee it and my core was on fire, wish I could afford their monthly unlimited classes but for now, CP will do!

I’ve been here twice now and love it. I work out 6 days a week so I never usually get that great sore feeling after a workout … but I’ve had both times after leaving On Your Mark! You can tell the people who run it LOVE what they day and our passionate about fitness.

Only been here once but it was such a great experience I felt compelled to write a review. The Ass&Abs class I attended was so much fun, such a great workout, and the instructor Pat– I should probably call him a coach because that’s exactly how he treated everyone in class, was incredible. He encouraged, motivated, and challenged me all while calling me by name and meeting me where I was at in my ability and skill set. He customized the class to each person in class and made it the best for all of us. I can’t wait to take another class at OYM!

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! I discovered this hidden gem of a gym in 2011 after reading about it in a DailyCandy. I can honestly say that in less than 3 months, On Your Mark Training and Coaching literally changed my life! I was running on my own and training on and off at another gym, but because I wasn’t doing any of it the right way, I never saw results. The trainers at On Your Mark put me through some of the toughest workouts ever, but because you’re in small group classes, you get a ton of personal attention and form corrections, that in just 45-​minutes a day you see amazing results. My favorite trainer and coach, co-​owner Annette Fiscelli, has an amazing passion for her work, and her support and encouragement gave me the confidence that it’s never too late to become an athlete… not to mention how strong I felt and how good that made me feel about my body. These trainers and the amazing people I’ve met in the small group classes have become close friends and now going to On Your Mark is one of the best parts of my day. And after years of fun runs, with Annette’s coaching, I completed my first triathlon and am totally hooked! The On Your Mark gyms in Bucktown and West Loop are so much more than gyms, and I can’t recommend this team more highly if you’re looking to improve your quality of life, develop your passion for athletics, or just flat out feel great about your body!

In Chicago there are a plethora of gyms and personal trainers to choose from. As someone who has tried almost everything, I am more than happy to share my awesome experiences at On Your Mark Coaching And Training.
Emily, Annette and their staff are extremely knowledgeable on all sides of fitness, proper form, and body composition. They are motivating, enthusiastic and the classes are HARD (this is of course in a very good way). I have tried cardio boxing (Annette), F Train (Danielle), and NTC (Emily). These are not your average workouts. These ladies are serious and really push you to your max.
I also love that every time I walk in everyone (both trainers and clients) is in the zone and focused. People don’t mess around here! This place is REAL DEAL if you are looking for a solid place to meet all your fitness/​wellness needs.
Bonus — they carry a large variety of Hammer brand supplements/​gels/​recovery fuels for purchase.
This is the best place to stretch and roll on high quality foam rollers. These are also available to buy as well.
Last but certainly not least, OYM is home to the coolest gym dog — Jack. He will greet you happily and keep you motivated throughout your workout.
Come here and push yourself to the max!

I love OYM. I am by no means a lifelong athlete; a more accurate description would be a couch potato who would run once a year and hate it. I still don’t enjoy working out even after half a year, but I keep coming back. I first used the 1 week free trial and then the 10 class package, but you really get your best bang for your buck with the Unlimited. Plus with Unlimited, there’s no excuse for not signing up for more classes. Small classes seem to be the focus here, but I do see people who have personal training sessions or go on the treadmill by themselves.
The trainers are great! They push you while still paying attention to your limits. All the exercises can be modified to be easier or harder, and the trainers really stress the importance of doing things correctly to (a) get the best results, and (b) avoid injury. I definitely could feel myself get stronger within a few weeks. I like that there’s a variety of classes, and the schedule changes a little every few months. Even within a given class you will not get the same exercises each time, so it doesn’t get boring. I really like the boxing classes (though it doesn’t fit into my regular schedule,) Ass & Abs, and F-​Core.
I don’t know what it’s like to be a member of any other type of gym, but I do like the size of this one. I’d say that most of my classes have about 4 – 6 people, but it does vary quite a bit depending on the class, time of day, holidays, etc. There have even been times when it was just me — like having a personal trainer! It’s the kind of place where the trainers know your name, and people say hi/​bye to each other.
Parking is easy — there are a few spaces in their parking lot, but street parking is free in this area anyway. It’s sometimes challenging in the evening, but it’s far from being a problem. The online scheduling is extremely easy and reliable. There is a cancellation policy for classes which is quite fair — 12 hours notice.

F-​Train w/​Emily is amazing! Love her F-​Train classes at Bucktown and West loop alike. The space is great and it’s awesome that they offer free parking at this location.
F-​Train is an intense workout of circuit training & you will definitely get your ass handed to you but in a good way. Love Emily’s coaching style. she is great at motivating you throughout class but doesn’t bark at you like a drill sergeant.
I also recommend taking Annette’s Cardio Box class on Wednesday mornings. My arms and whole body were sore the following day. After all soreness is the new sexy! Annette is great and even if you don’t have a lot of experience in boxing, she does a great job of demo-​ing and assisting you and making adjustments as needed so you dont injure yourself or take a jab cross to someone elses face.
If you’ve never been they offer one week free for new clients. Also just got a pkg from Gilt City so be on the lookout for those deals.

Best gym I’ve been to in Chicago… IF you seriously want to get into shape. Everything about this club is geared towards maximizing your physical potential. The classes are hard and the instructors are the best I’ve seen in Chicago. OYM is hands down the best.

OYM is fantastic! Each and every trainer/​instructor is friendly, respectful, and knows their stuff! Each and every workout I feel like I’ve worked hard and can feel myself getting stronger each week. Both locations (West Loop and Bucktown) offer classes every day. You won’t be disappointed. Go ahead and try (they offer a free week of classes to first time clients), you will be happy you did!

I bought a Metabody Groupon which allowed me to ‘sample’ several gyms/​classes in Chicago and the classes that I took at On Your Mark in West Loop were my favorite.
My favorite things about the classes here are:
1. The variety of exercises and muscles worked. You never get bored or imbalanced.
2. The exercises are not just calorie burners but rather, you are toning and building muscle. Personally I think calorie burning is easy enough, take a walk or a bike ride, but the toning and the building is not something I’m likely to do on my own.
3. The class size is perfect — small so you get some personal guidance but not as intense as one on one.
4. The instructors have a great balance of pushing you and being positive. The exercises are adaptable for everyone. If your strong they compliment your strength. If your weak but have good form they compliment your form. If you just plain suck they compliment your effort. Etc.
A great place that I recommend!

I discovered OYM from Gilt, where I purchased a 10 pack of classes for a great rate. Initially, I loved the variety of classes offered, perfect for an ADD workout person like myself. But due to schedule constraints, I wasn’t able to sample as many as I would have liked but I did get a chance to do the signature F-​Train class, Cardio Box and Pilates — which was my personal favorite.
The classes were all fairly small so the trainers provide hands-​on, individualized attention. The clientele is more diverse from other places I have attended; every class had people of all age groups and fitness levels, which I though was awesome. There’s nothing more motivational than seeing someone twice your age pushing at a higher intensity than you. Time to kick it up a gear!
Both the West Loop and Bucktown spaces are nice — small but with plenty of functional equipment. Unfortunately for me, my 10 pack of classes is now finished. I don’t know if I’ll be able to splurge on the regular priced classes or packages at this time. However, if they offer any more promotional pricing down the line I certainly would. Or just maybe once I’m burned out on my normal routine again, I’ll head back to OYM to feed my fitness fix.

It’s officially been a year since I joined, and I still give OYM a full 5 stars. I’d give them 10 if I could, seriously. The classes are just as challenging and engaging as when I started, and the trainers are still as attentive to ensure I am always using the proper form to maximize my results and avoid injury. I couldn’t imagine working out anywhere else.
I’m sure most people would agree that this was one of our more brutal winters, and I have to say that I would have taken quite a few nasty spills walking to work by now if I hadn’t taken so many F-​Train and F-​Core classes with Annette and Emily. You don’t realize how much these workouts translate into your daily lifestyle until you’re put in a situation. I could literally feel my muscles kick into gear and stabilize me so I didn’t fall down.
Yes, F-​train kept me off my butt this winter in more ways than one.
If you haven’t checked out OYM, I’d get a move on it. They just opened a new location in Bucktown too. I haven’t been to it, but I hear it’s pretty amazing; if location was an issue for you before, maybe the new location will help. Check it out, the only thing you have to lose is a path to a healthier and hotter you!

I found OYM when I signed up for a Metabody Groupon. I didn’t know what to expect, and went in with an open mind and wanting an amazing workout. I can not be happier!
I have done a couple different classes at OYM. F-​Core, F-​Train, and Chaos. These have been some of the best workouts that I’ve done. Not once have I walked out feeling like the workout was just «ok». These workouts are AMAZING!
Annette and Emily have both pushed me to the max and are constantly motivating me to succeed and to take my fitness 1 step further. I couldn’t be more grateful for what they have taught me and how I’ve seen my body transform. I feel stronger and more energized and truly believe in their program.
I would recommend this gym to anyone. Small classes, lots of focus and attention, and trainers who care!

I visited On Your Mark (OYM) with my fellow lifestyle coaches and instructors from CorePower Yoga. (who doesn’t love work outings? =P) We stopped in for a circuit training session with Emily. I really loved it! I luckily snagged a parking spot in the lot they have behind their building. total WIN! I entered the building and headed down the stairs and was greeted by amiable staff that let me know where I needed to go.
Emily was very encouraging without being cheerleader-​like or militant like you’d get from many other trainers. She was very knowledgable about the circuit she took us through and about all the equipment we used. She motivated us and pushed, it was great! Afterwards, she invited us to stay and use the equipment all the equipment in their building to stretch. I loved that she integrated running into the circuits. I didn’t realize how rusty I was at sprinting until that hard-​working Wednesday when we visited OYM.
The workout space includes a plethora of workout equipment; not too much to crowd the space, but they have everything one would need. Their space is very functional and promoted a feeling of excitement within me as I worked out. I hope to be back more this week to take advantage of the rest of the days of my free week trial.
Thanks On Your Mark. I think I like yoooouuu!

Love On Your Mark and love Emily and Annette (and all the other Trainers) — they are absolutely amazing at what they do! I started going to OYM full time about a year ago and haven’t once regretted it. The frequent treadmill, cycle, strength, and pilates classes are kept intentionally small so that Trainers can focus on each person’s form/​technique.
My body changed more in one month at OYM than it ever did when I was going to a conventional gym. Added bonus… people are friendly. You’ll find the serious athlete to the individual just wanting to get in shape. It’s an incredibly supportive environment no matter what your goal.
Side note, Emily coached me for my 2010 Ironman Wisconsin race and I had great results… lots of individual attention and encouragement. She was there every step of the way!

I walked in to OYM over a year ago. I felt a bit intimidated by my age as well as my capabilities, or lack there of. The co-​owners and trainers Annette and Emily are accomplished athletes and dedicated fitness specialists. They go above and beyond in their efforts to assist their gym members to reach for goals that were felt to be unattainable. They inspire through their knowledge, guidance, balanced training programs along with the genuine desire to help us all succeed. Something very special is happening on the corner of Monroe and Aberdeen and I am grateful to be a part of it. Step out of your comfort zone, this is the place for people of all fitness levels to be inspired and live their best life! Thank you to Annette and Em for greatly enriching my life!

I have been going to On Your Mark for a few months now, but have been working out with Annette and Emily for years. I recently quit my other gym and am now going to OYM full time. The reason I quit is that hands down, Annette and Emily are the best trainers out there. The classes are small and each person gets one on one attention from each of the trainers. OYM has all types of classes, spin, treadmill, strength, pilates, swim workout and track workouts. All of the members are very friendly. Definitely more motivating than any gym I have been to.

I have been training at OYM for over a year and it has been the best investment I made into myself.
Not only did I successfully complete my first marathon, but I also discovered my own body and what it is capable of with the right training. I have learnt a lot about building endurance, developing efficient running and biking technique, correcting muscle imbalances, stretching, hydrating, and believing in myself. I am amazed to see how much and how quickly my body has been transforming from flab to muscle.
Both Annette and Emily are highly professional and passionate about their business of helping their clients get to the highest level of fitness. They both are successful athletes and have completed multiple races, including several Ironman triathlons. Emily is an accomplished cyclist (no wonder she teaches the best spinning classes EVER!) and the best personal trainer in Chicago to be rivaled only by Annette, who gives every client individual attention and advice and is the most inspirational coach I have ever worked with. They run training programs for marathoners (I never thought that running a marathon can be that much fun!), Olympic triathlons, Ironman races, and individual programs.
They also teach small group classes that are a cost-​efficient way of getting to experience their superb coaching. My only concern is that it will soon become very difficult to get a spot in a class, as more people find out about their studio.
