I loved my trial class at the Sweatshop! I was welcomed by all of the class attendees and the instructor’Matt was full of energy! I joined because it was fun, I felt welcomed and there were plenty of modifications for me! I have been attending classes a little over a month and am getting stronger every day amd having fun!

Great Work ! Seems like the youngsters like when more leading not less digital but keep up the good work and appreciate the conversation with different individuals. Depending on when people speak ! Just depends on culture ! Nice to support and thank you for the support- instruction 🤙🏻🕰️🤝🐘🪾🛫🛬🥂🥩🥃🪬

Cannot recommend this place enough! The enthusiasm and positivity radiates every time you walk through the door. Make sure you ask about the kids classes too! I believe it’s $39/month to add them on and we’ve loved taking our son with.

Sweatshop is not your typical exercise place…it’s so much better!!!! I have never looked forward to working out and sweating in my entire life. These entertrainers make it fun. I’m laughing and smiling the entire time. I leave motivated and exhausted…..in a good way. I am not the most coordinated and have no rhythm but it doesn’t matter, no judgement ever. Just keep moving to your own pace. Thank you Sweatshop, Matt, Jim and Lynn. 🩷💪🏻🎤

I have been going to Sweatshop in Grayslake for a couple weeks now & each class I sweat my butt off. The instructors are friendly & helpful. Matt the coach is knowledgeable in all aspects of weight loss & nutrition. He is always there in person , text or call away if any questions, all of the instructors are teachers & cheerleaders when we need them ❤️ love this place ❤️

This place is so fun! The people are great!

I have only been going here one week but I really do like it. Matt and the other instructor are very motivating. They help you by making sure you are doing the exercises correctly or to help modify so it works for you. Can’t wait for my next class!

I joined SweatShop at the beginning of the Summer and am LOVING IT! The trainers make each and every workout fun, and provide modifications. This is not your typical gym or class, and is very welcoming to all ages and body types! Sweatshop has helped change my mindset and health goals and looking forward to continuing this journey!

Sweatshop Grayslake is a great place to workout! There are classes and schedules to fit your lifestyle! Everyone, including other workout folks are so nice. At Sweatshop of Grayslake, your goal is their goal, no matter what your level of activity is!

I’ve been coming to Sweatshop for a little over a month now, and I absolutely love it. I was nervous at first because I was completely out of shape, but Matt and the team always modify the workouts to match everyone’s abilities. As someone with social anxiety, I worried about being in a group setting, but the atmosphere is genuinely fun, supportive, and welcoming. I’d recommend Sweatshop to anyone looking for a non‑judgmental place to work out — whether you’re a total beginner or someone who works out regularly.

2026-07-23T02:17:37.154Z

Absolutely love this community of people. The workouts are fabulous!

Although I haven’t been a member at the Sweatshop for very long, I have met many people who have been going there for many years. The community and overall vibe is like no other program or gym I’ve ever been to. The atmosphere that Matt has created is welcoming, positive, encouraging and just fun which he spells with a double N… FUNN!I can already tell that working with Matt and the other trainers is going to be a game changer. I recently had my coaching call with Matt who created a custom, balanced fitness program that perfectly matches my goals. This is not a one size fits all program. The built-in accountability and personal modifications will certainly make a difference.This is one of the best fitness decisions of my life. If you’re looking for a unique, motivating and fun way to get fit, check out the sweat shop today.

During the workout you asked why but in the end it was challenging. Jim was great and the gym community was very friendly.

2026-07-16T19:01:39.564Z

I feel welcome here and love that they take the guesswork out of working out. I just show up and trust that they have planned a comprehensive workout to help me meet my fitness goals. I also feel comfortable while I'm there because I feel supported instead of judged.

This is a great place and well worth joining ! I was the type that totally dislike excercising , I would force myself to go and excercise, it was such an effort . Had a gym membership at a place literally 3 minutes from home . Would come up with all types excuses not to go . I had a friend tell me about the Sweatshop and how much fun she was having . So decided I would check it out . Called and went to a trial class . Loved the trial class so much I stayed for a second class right after the trial . That was on June 30, 2026. I have gone everyday except for 2 days ( today is July 15 ) . I have the unlimited membership and I usually do double classes ( most the time back to back ) They have so many classes to choose from early morning to later in the evening . There is no reason to get out of my routine because they also do classes online . This was a really big deal for me because I travel quite often .The staff is very helpful always willing to answer any questions. Along with this unlimited membership they help and guide you with nutrition information.The staff is very friendly, as well as the members ! Writing about this does even describe how much fun and the benefits I get from attending classes at the Sweatshop ! Call or go online to try and figure out what time if day works for a trial class . You definitely will not be disappointed !Saturday morning classes are such a treat there is always some real craziness ( entertainment by Matt and Jim ) going along with getting great workout !Dont miss out on loosing weight , getting healthy, feeling great and having fun and being entertained all at the same time .P.S. There are number different membership levels available ( which is not found at other gyms along with a great environment)

Everyone at Sweatshop - staff coaches and other gym members - have been super welcoming. I really like the variety of classes and appreciate when the coaches connect with people and help check & correct their form so they are being safe and working the intended muscles. If you are looking for a place to work out and a great community, come join us at the Sweatshop! It’s the gym you look forward to going to!
