Tailored Strength - Chicago, Illinois

Tailored Strength is a great place to workout! I came in with an existing knee injury and after the 4 month programming, feel stronger and more secure in my knee than ever; that is even after 6 months of physical therapy. The coaches are knowledgeable and will encourage you to push yourself to set new goals. I would highly recommend Tailored Strength to anyone who is just starting their fitness journey, or looking to get back into a fitness routine after an injury.

I’ve been training with Nikholas once a week for the past 4 months, and I truly couldn’t recommend him more!! My goal was to build strength to run a faster marathon time, and I’ve been consistently running a minute/mile faster since seeing him. He really cares about helping you achieve your goals & is so knowledgeable and approachable. All of the other trainers are great too, super friendly - it really does feel like a family here.

Another glowing review for the team at Tailored Strength! I’ve been a client of Drew’s for about three months (4x/week). Drew is an amazing strength coach - he listens to the client’s goals and has the knowledge & experience necessary to build a plan to hit them. The rest of the team at Tailored Strength is also very knowledgeable and their camaraderie gives rise to an energetic environment I look forward to showing up to each morning.

I’ve been lifting on and off for years with a lot of injuries, but the range of equipment (I love belt squats) and knowledge at Tailored Strength has let me get back to the hobby I love. I pulled 315 for the first time ever thanks to my time here. Can’t wait to keep being a client and making progress.

I’ve been training with Nik for a few months now and I can’t imagine a better experience! I used to be in relatively good shape, but life happened and I was overwhelmed and confused on where to start again. Nik has been an invaluable resource when it comes to doing that. I came in with the goals of wanting to get strong, learn how to lift weights properly and I’m definitely achieving that! Besides Nik, all the trainers and everyone at the gym is super friendly. It feels like a family! My favorite thing about this place is that I feel totally comfortable and not intimidated. It’s a very welcoming environment, and I feel like I’m being adequately assessed and challenged. Nik is the best at noticing when I could probably go up in weight or jump on a higher box (even though sometimes I might not want to lol). Jokes aside, I love this place, Nik and everyone here. <3

Best training experience I've ever had. I've been lifting weights and had multiple personal trainers since I was a teenager but I've never looked as good as I have since I started training with Joe and I'm a woman in my late 30s. He has a fantastic, positive attitude and gears workouts towards your goals.

I always look forward to workouts here and love the atmosphere that the team has created. All the trainers are knowledgeable, helpful, and fun. Highly Recommend!

I highly recommend Tailored Strength. I recently began a sport specific training program (golf) with Nickholas Parker and he’s been outstanding— his background as a former D-1 college athlete combined with his advanced training methods have been very beneficial to me. More generally, the gym environment is warm and collaborative, making Tailored Strength an ideal training center for anyone seeing to up their performance.

I’ve been training 1:1 with Nikholas for just over a month, and the improvements in my joint health, mobility, and strength have been incredible. After struggling with lower back issues that made me hesitant to squat, I can now squat with confidence again, which has been a huge milestone for me. The personalized attention and focus on addressing my specific needs have made all the difference. I’ve tried other gyms and trainers before, but this experience has far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend this gym and Nikholas for anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals with expert guidance!

I've been coming to Tailored Strength for about a year now, seeing Joe 3x a week. The way I look, and feel, is night and day, and we have FUN doing it.

For real, get yourself a workout that you don't dread going to. Go to Tailored Strength.
