In-Home Personal Training in River West

Many River West homes are in former factory loft buildings converted to condos and apartments, and townhomes and newer high-rises fill in around them, especially in the Fulton River District. A loft with an open floor has room for longer movements and, over time, a bench and heavier work. In a townhome, a lower level or spare room can do the same job. In a high-rise, use the building gym where management allows, or train in your unit. We've also run resident fitness programs in buildings such as Kenect, Spoke and Mondial.

If work takes you out of town, your program doesn't have to stop. Virtual training gives you live, coached video sessions with the same trainers who come to your home, so a hotel room can stand in for the week. Your trainer plans around what you'll have there, from a hotel fitness room to nothing but a resistance band. When you're back, in-person sessions pick up where the video ones left off. Need to shift a session around a trip? Give 24 hours' notice.

For outdoor work, Eckhart Park has ball fields, a football and soccer field and an outdoor basketball court, with room for sprints, shuttle runs and field drills. East across the North Branch, Ward Park's riverside promenade has benches and shade trees, a calmer setting for bench push-ups, tempo walks and a long stretch by the water. In the warm months your trainer can move sessions to either one, then bring the program back inside when the weather turns.
