If you are looking for a gym that truly cares about its members, The Sweatshop is the place to be. From the moment you walk through the door, everyone is welcoming, encouraging, and incredibly kind. The coaches provide a level of personal care and attention that I have honestly never experienced anywhere else. They take the time to get to know you, support your goals, and help you become the best version of yourself.As a teacher and parent, one of the absolute best parts for me is the kids class. Being able to consistently bring my child with me after work and know she is in great hands is priceless. It makes staying committed so much easier, and she loves being there too.And yes — they absolutely put the “sweat” in Sweatshop! Every class pushes me in the best way possible, and I leave drenched, accomplished, and ready to come back for more.What really makes this place stand out is how much they genuinely care about every individual. They offer nutrition guidance and one-on-one sessions to truly understand you and your goals. The passion from the staff is contagious and motivates you to keep showing up and doing your best.As someone with high anxiety and very little confidence when it comes to working out, finding The Sweatshop has been life changing. It is a safe, supportive, judgment-free environment filled with an incredible community of people who truly care about one another. I have never once felt judged here.No matter your age or fitness level, if you are looking for personal connection, support, and a place that will encourage you every step of the way, I cannot recommend The Sweatshop enough. The value you get here is more than worth the price.

I’m so excited to begin my journey here at the sweatshop! It was an emotional moment to address my own needs, the things I’ve been putting off while investing in other parts of my life. Each class is a moment I choose myself- so proud of that! I love the community I am coming into, everyone has been very warm & welcoming. The coaches have been extremely supportive and motivating! I cannot wait to continue to watch my progress.

Looking for a place to get a great work out and have fun with some amazing people… this is the place!

My first message to Matt @ Sweatshop was a dare “I challenge you to make me show up for 2 weeks.”3 months later… I lost….Life, hormones, and stress made my clothes rebel. I nearly quit until I gave Sweatshop 1 last shot with no excuses.I’m not always motivated, but Matt won’t let me hide (“Netflix winning or should I send a ride?”). It stopped being about getting leaner and became a mindset. Now I do 2 classes back-to-back (who am I!)If you’re stuck in “just 2 weeks” mode, come see how it turns into “I basically live here.”Join us.

Just started a few weeks ago with the sweat shop! It has been a great experience so far! The classes are scheduled and you just show up and do the work! Staff and members are amazing as well! Fun and friendly environment! A true gem of a gym! Love it!

I cannot say enough nice, amazing things about Sweatshop Grayslake!! The staff/“entertainers” are amazing. Just a happy, friendly group that makes you feel like you have known them your whole life. The classes are geared for all types, I can’t do kneeling or exercises on my back - they always show another option or 2 on how to continue with your workout while they are on their knees or backs. They strive to really get to know their clients, they acknowledge all of us by our names, they want to know what makes us tick so they can give us the best workouts. After each class, I really feel like I made big change in my health by choosing them. Highly recommend stopping in and meeting the staff and seeing what Sweatshop is really all about.

I have been going to Sweatshop in Grayslake, and honestly, I can’t say enough good things about it. The team there is absolutely awesome, super motivating, welcoming, and genuinely invested in helping you push your limits.Every workout feels challenging but fun, and the energy in the room makes a huge difference. It’s one of those places where you actually look forward to showing up, no matter how tough the session might be. The coaches really know how to keep you engaged and make sure you’re getting the most out of every workout.If you’re looking for a place that combines great vibes with an incredible team, this is it. I just love it here.

Such a warm and welcoming group. The instructor, Matt is energetic and fun. The class I tried was the training class and it was great, a really good workout in. Everyone could modify and do the exercises the way it worked for them. I recommend Sweatshop!

Seems like something that I can stick with, fun atmosphere and not judgey. So far, so good!
