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.

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.

Perfect for beginners who don't know where to start. I was nervous about joining a gym because I didn't know what I needed to do but these guys are there for you anytime to answer any questions & get you started and continue helping throughout your journey of a better you! It's mostly women there so that definitely helps me feel more comfortable. The guys are hilarious and make everything so much fun!

Been coming here since July 2025, and today I am officially down 10 lbs. Although it may not seem like much and I personally still have a long way to go but I’m proud of how far I have come. I enjoy coming to a variety of classes and conveniently at my schedule. My 6 year old daughter comes with me sometimes to attend the kids class and she loves it. I gave birth to my fourth child in 2024, which was also my fourth C-section. I was the heaviest I have ever been at that time. Losing weight has always been a struggle for me. It is a lot of fun here, even at 5:30 in the morning 😅. The trainers are very entertaining at the same time making us sweat. Definitely a judgement free zone and I have felt comfortable coming since the beginning. I’m looking forward to keep putting in the work here until I reach my goals.

Excited to be a new member of the Sweatshop! I was referred by a friend and went to try a class. For someone that hasn’t had a solid exercise routine in years, it feels good to have found a place that can support my fitness goals. Matt and his crew have been so welcoming and encouraging. Their upbeat energy and positivity make it a place you want to come back to!

So far, my experience with The Sweatshop and Matt has been outstanding. The classes are engaging, the environment is very supportive, and they’ve been extremely accommodating in helping me modify workouts during my shoulder surgery recovery. Highly recommend.

I would consider myself a "newbie". Been going for a month and have met some great people at The Sweatshop. As if that wasn't enough, I have had great classes, I enjoy the different age groups in each class, and the drive of the instructors. Music is great and I am hooked. My style of workout. I am hooked.
