Northfield In-Home Personal Training

Most homes in the village are single-family houses, many of them roomy. If you have a spare bedroom, a lower level or a garage bay, it can become your training corner, with room to add a bench and heavier work over time. Northfield also has townhomes and small condo buildings, where a living-room rug is enough space. If you have neighbors below, your trainer can favor low-impact strength and mobility work over jumping. Either way, your trainer shows up with the bands and dumbbells, plus anything else your plan needs.

The North Branch Trail System runs right through the village, with paved and unpaved stretches, and it links up with the Skokie Lagoons. Erickson Woods, with its picnic grove, makes an easy place to meet. On the paved trail you can run-walk intervals or hold a tempo pace. On the softer unpaved paths, try a brisk hike with a few strength stops along the way, then finish with mobility work. When the weather turns cold or wet, the session simply moves back inside.

If work or family takes you out of town, your program doesn't have to pause. We offer virtual training, live coached video sessions with the same trainers who come to your home, so a hotel room or a guest room can stand in for the week. Your trainer adjusts the plan to whatever you have on hand, even just your body weight. When you're back in Northfield, in-home sessions pick up where you left off. Sessions run 30, 45 or 60 minutes either way, and 24 hours' notice is all it takes to reschedule.
