Final update on 1/23/26: Over fear of persecution of my original emotionally charged, critical review of his gym and after reflecting and researching, here’s an honest updated review of the gyms price point and what I think he should do to improve consumer experience without the colorful language:$79 a month for little space and equipment, charges another $20 ($99) if you want the door code for extended hours which is just 1 hour before the OG time and 2 hours in the evening. Not worth it in my opinion. It’s not your typical gym you’d think of like Anytime or planet. It’s for athletes or those well versed in lifting (squat racks). Dumbbell racks offered and turf. Some medicine balls but overall, it seems high in price for what’s offered.Have a sliding scale where you offer different price points depending on income or salary levels, if customer is open to sharing. How do you plan on getting younger or lower class on tight budgets to afford your gym at such a high price point? Affordability crisis is real.Offer free class or session to show how to use equipment safely. Free PT consultation may do the trick here. I was never informed of one or given a class schedule. Very unwelcoming.And now this is addressing my side of the loud noise issue…I sang loudly and got out my anger and frustration out that day via loud talking. Whatever decibel it was, I wasn’t aware there was an issue before since the owner never told me- i was blowing off steam at a gym that I pay almost $80-100 for and with everything going on in this country…I was loud talking and singing just TWICE at this gym in my less than 1 month of membership for <20 minutes and yet a person who’s been privileged enough to afford this gym for 10+ YEARS gets bothered TWICE about loud noise and complains. Interrupted PT sessions ONCE out of the how many years you’ve been in business here? This is a data anomaly, it never happens and i already canceled my membership- it was my last day/week there.I also de-escalated the situation when the owner confronted me about it and he proceeded to continue escalating by touching me several times to get my attention even after I said 1) that I’d stop and please stop touching me 2) that I’m now leaving your facility and canceled my membership already. He then followed me to the open lockers at the front AND to the exit. That wasn’t enough escalation so he had to email me afterwards too, asking why I didn’t look at him and I just walked away.Also, I’m getting my anger out via venting to my friend on a call and singing out loud, why are you trying to escalate it? Let me leave in peace. Like I’m already angry, so I’m trying to de-escalate and LEAVING your facility FOREVER and you’re following me now and following up via email. Mind you, I canceled the membership already so he could’ve just let me and the issue end there, right? No following to the door? No follow up emails? There would be no more noise complaints and he wouldn’t have to deal with me anymore. Terrible business ethics in my opinion.Don’t follow people when they’re de-escalating too- there’s real trauma/SA and religious reasons why women don’t want to be touched or followed by a man.This owner just doesn’t like criticism in my honest opinion and I had a bad experience at his gym and with this owner. The public can make up their own opinion, if they even care to read this. Seems odd to only have 5 star reviews too, no criticism at all? Also Just bury my review- why sue me into silence?I have all copies of past updates to this review and now updating with my final thoughts. My last review was heavily censored and redacted but I no longer feel bullied into silence.

This gym is a positive vibe. The price is fair, and working out is comfortable and never have to wait around to use equipment for example. Personal training is also offered! I have trained with Aaron who is positive and encouraging and very knowledgeable. I have witnessed so many athletes and non athletes elivate there growth.I like the admisphere and attitude of all trainers!

**Review of Melisa Lee (GG LEE) Regarding False Claims about ASAP FitnessI feel compelled to address some recent claims made by Melisa Lee about ASAP Fitness. It's essential for the community to have accurate information, especially when it concerns health and fitness.**Inaccurate Statements**: That the gym owner does not invest back into his gym, as well as this client stating she was harassed and touched, repeatedly by the owner.In contrast to these claims, I want to highlight that I was there on this day and was one of the people working out at the time she was there. I have been coming here for over 10 years, in the recent year the gym has been repainted, reorganized, new equipment has been added, security cameras added for customer security inside and outside of the building, new trainers have been added who are certified professionals dedicated to providing the best service of training here.I have never seen this client/customer before; I assumed she was new to the gym. I went about my business, did my warmup on the elliptical. I always have my iPods in and usually too high, so I don't hear anyone talking to me.Well, let's just say, I could hear Melisa through my music playing, at first it sounded like she was having a conversation with someone on her phone through her headphones and was speaking very loudly. In which I looked at her twice or three times hoping to make eye contact, but nothing. She would not acknowledge anyone, like she was in her own world, which is fine. Then, it seemed like that conversation ended. It then was assumed that she started singing along to music or something, again very loud to the point where the trainer who was training had to repeat himself to the person who he was training because they were unable to hear what he was trying to relay.I finished my warmup, 10 minutes later. Went to the opposite side of the gym to start my workout. She kept up with the same behavior, like there was no one else in the gym but her. I understand everyone has their own way of expression of who they are, but when you are in a setting where other people come to unwind, challenge themselves and look to de-stress from their day. There is no discrimination going on here, it's just a matter of respect for everyone in the facility you are in. After multiple other gym attendees asking the owner to have her quiet down a little, he did approach her. He tapped her shoulder as she did not hear him asking if she realized how loud she is with her headphones on. She did not acknowledge him, said something to the fact of "don't touch me" proceeded to walk away from him, as he was asking if things were ok, picked up her stuff and walked out of the gym. This is the oddest thing I have ever witnessed coming here, and her behavior didn't seem warranted for the situation. This is a welcoming environment for all, and they respect all cultures that attend this gym.Such misinformation can harm the reputation of dedicated businesses and mislead potential members. ASAP Fitness takes pride in fostering a supportive and inclusive fitness community.Thank you for considering an honestperspective on this matter.

Not worth the $79 a month. Owner charges $20 extra for “extended hours” which is barely 1-2 hours before the original times. So $99 for a gym with barely any equipment. Oh and Don’t be loud on the phone at this gym otherwise the owner will harass you and not take the hint. I’m perfectly fine. Are you all ok?It’s not my fault you don’t have active listening skills to stop touching me. He touched me 3 times by the way. May God have mercy on these dead eyed souls.

Aaron Reed worked with all three of my kids for three consecutive years per child as high school varsity athletes. All of them excelled physically and mentally as athletes under his direction. Aaron was thoughtful, insightful, and helped each of them through various adversity most student athletes endure. Aaron worked with our high school varsity coaches to ensure there were not over training issues and synergistic training on days of dual workouts. Over the years, Aaron has become a trusted friend to our entire family. Every minute of time our children spent with him was well worth the investment. From a results perspective, each of our children excelled on their individual sport teams individually and as a leader. They learned that mindful hard work and focus will produce desired results with consistent application and dedication. A life lesson.

Aaron Reed has worked with athletes from my program and the results we have seen have been fantastic. He is a true pro! I've trusted him with my daughters athletic careers from track & field to cheerleading. My daughter loved going to ASAP Fitness not only due to the facility, but largely because of Aaron. My daughters now 23 and 21 still use the techniques that Aaron taught them, he made them love fitness. Todd Kuklinski Barrington HS Head Boys Track & Field

Both of my kids , who are both Division I athletes, trained with Aaron. Shortly after working with him, I could see their results. Stronger, faster and more mentally prepared. They both enjoyed working out with Aaron, not only because he is knowledgeable and creative with his workouts, keeping them challenging, yet fun, but he is also basically an all-around great guy! The facility at ASAP Fitness is always clean and is welcoming to everyone who enters through its doors. A positive space for people of all ages to work out. I highly recommend!

Aaron Reed's knowledge, positive energy, and customized training programs are world-class and he's been a key part of our daughter becoming a high school All-American volleyball player. Our family has known Aaron for six years and his knowledge and care for both the athlete and person are exceptional. If you're looking for a tailored fitness program to maximize strength and agility delivered by a true expert, then Aaron is your man.

I worked with Aaron back in my college basketball days. Came to him after two major knee surgeries with hopes of getting back to 100% in a limited amount of time. Let’s just in a matter of one summer I was able to fully recover while reaching peak endurance, strength, and agility. It was challenging but Aaron knew exactly what I needed. Would highly recommend to anyone trying to take their game to the next level or trying to get into stellar shape. Be aware though…… you will love him outside of training… but you’ll hate him during it!!!
