Specialties

Sprout Fitness specializes in pre and postnatal group fitness classes and one-​on-​one personal training. All trainers are pre and post natal certified.

Pre and Post Natal Boot Camp: We like to think of it as personal training in a small group setting. Learn safe and challenging core, strength, and cardio exercises tailored to your ability level. Classes held at Hi Fi Personal Fitness Tuesdays at 6:00pm and Saturdays at 10:00am. Class is 55 minutes. $ 2 lot or street parking.

Stroller Boot Camp: We encourage Pre & Post Natal women to join us. Post Natal Women learn safe exercises that will help build back your core and pelvic floor muscles, lose the baby weight, build muscles to carry your little one, and have fun while meeting other moms. Pre Natal women learn safe exercises that help them prepare for the big event. Babies and children are always welcome. Class is 55 minutes. Classes are 1:00pm on Mondays at Wrightwood Park (corner of Ashland & Wrightwood).

History

Established in 2008.

Sprout started in the summer of 2008, right after Kim’s son Ben was born. Both founders Kim and Ron felt there was a need for pre and post natal strength and core classes in Chicago. Kim found in her own pregnancy, that there seemed to be a lot of pre natal yoga classes but no group classes that offered weight training, cardio, and core training in Chicago. Kim and Ron had both trained numerous clients through their pregnancies and felt it would be such an amazing bonding experience and a great way for their clients to save money on personal training, if they could get a group of pre /​post natal women together in a classroom setting. Because Kim and Ron were both juggling day jobs and now motherhood for Kim, they knew they would need a partner to get things started. So together in the fall of 2008, they offered their first Sprout Pre /​Post Natal Bootcamp class one evening a week. Today they offer classes 3 days a week and hope to expand it to more.

I’ve been attending classes since I was 20 weeks pregnant (I’m 31 weeks now). I love that the classes are geared towards pregnant women and are designed to help you during labor and the woes of pregnancy. I feel stronger and more energetic than I think I would feel without the class. Another plus is that you get to meet other women that you might not have met otherwise. Overall, Kim and Ron are amazing and I highly recommend!

I started Sprouts when I was 13 weeks along and I’m currently at 24 weeks. I absolutely love this class! Ron and Kim are great instructors and make the workouts a lot of fun. The class is usually a circuit of exercises. Each exercise is shown with modifications for each workout level. When I started I could the more difficult stuff and as my pregnancy as progressed, the modifications have been great. Kim and Ron are both great about answering questions and explaining why certain exercises are better for pregnancy. Everything we do seems to be relevant to actually giving birth and then recovering afterwards. Additionally, being able to workout with and meet other pregnant women has been fantastic. We are all going through the experience together and have fun meeting up twice a week to workout. I highly recommend this class to all pregnant women!

I started attending Sprout Pre/​Post Natal Boot Camp to stay in shape when I was 12 weeks along. I plan to attend until the last week of my pregnancy and beyond!
Ron and Kim keep the class fun and challenging. The class is set up with rotating stations that focus on arms, legs, and core strengthening. Depending on how far along you are and your current shape, the stations can be modified to be more or less challenging for you.
So far the classes have ranged in size from about 8 – 15 ladies. Even when attendance is higher, I am always given individual attention so I feel like I am participating in a small personal training session.
The times are great if you work during the day (Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings), the location is convenient (especially with on-​site parking), and the price fits my budget — plus you get a discount if you sign up for both days!
It’s a great way to meet other moms-​to-​be and stay active!

I found Sprout on Unilocal when I was 12 weeks. The classes have been great to get me up and moving. Kim and Ron are incredibly knowledgeable on prenatal workouts and give great strategies to use when you go to deliver!

I found Sprout on Unilocal when I was 16 weeks along, and have been going since. I’m now 27 weeks and attending twice weekly classes of 3 – 4 people. Ron and Kim make this class something I look forward to with their focus on the individual and their knowledge of pregnancy strength training and exercise. I joined to get exercise that was well suited for a pregnant woman, in a setting that was small enough to feel comfortable, and the right price and location. It’s the only other «I’m pregnant» thing I include in my schedule outside of Dr. visits and buying clothes I hope to never wear again. I did not have a strong exercise plan or schedule before I started Sprout — can’t even say I exercised much. I feel healthier, stronger, and have more energy after attending 10 weeks of class. I hope to continue as long as our baby will allow. And looking forward to signing up for classes after delivery — well… give me a month or two… but interested now.

Ron and Kim are great! I’ve worked out with them most of my pregnancy and know that it’s really made a difference. I was impressed with their creative exercises and knowledge about the things pregnant women should and shouldn’t do in different times during their pregnancy. It’s also a nice way to meet other expecting moms and chat about the changes you’re experiencing. Looking forward to working out with them after the baby as well! Thanks again! :)

I started with Sprout Fitness when I was 16 weeks pregnant. Since I was very physically active prior to my pregnancy, this was a fun and safe way for me to keep up my fitness level throughout my entire pregnancy. I was able to keep up with the class until the week that I delivered my baby. The instructors paid close attention to each class member to make sure we were doing the exercises properly and of course making sure that we were having fun!

I started attending Sprout classes when I was 20 weeks pregnant. I loved both Kim and Ron’s high energy, advice to help me prepare for labor, and meeting other soon-​to-​be and new Moms. I looked forward to the classes and felt energized afterwards. I had a great delivery and credit my smooth recovery to being in shape, thanks to Sprout!
