Sadly, Ralph (the owner) moved back to New Zealand. I'm sorry you'll all have to miss out on his personal training skills because he was one of the best trainers I've ever had. In fact, since he left I haven't been able to get back to the shape I was in while training with ENRG!

I'm on my way to being in the best shape of my life, thanks to Ralph at ENRG Fitness!
In preparation for my November wedding, I've committed to getting in shape and actually following a workout routine. Working with Ralph has been such an eye opening experience.
I've always been an active person, but never had any personalized training programs. I've recently realized that I've been doing sit ups and push ups incorrectly for years. After only a few sessions with Ralph, I now know how to properly do these exercises and also know which muscle groups I should be focusing on.
Ralph's attention to detail separates him from your typical trainer. Rather than just recommending specific exercises, Ralph takes the time to make sure you are performing each exercise correctly in order to get the results you're looking for out of your personalized workout.
I would highly recommend ENRG Fitness for anyone looking for an quality and affordable personal trainer. You won't be disappointed! -

I had the experience of working with Ralph last year and I must say he is the best that I have every had when it comes to training. I told him my goals and he helped me to achieve it in so many ways.
I highly recommend anyone looking for a good trainer to give ENRG Fitness a try. You won't regret it!!!!! -

I highly recommend ENRG Fitness Chicago. I started with personal training which I enjoyed, and moved to team training because I wanted to workout with Ralph more often! It's essentially the same cost for three team sessions as it is for one personal session so that was the best way to do it. Teams are small--4-6 people so I still get the same individual attention, so I couldn't be happier!

Working out since college has been more difficult to make time for so I lost interest and confidence in the gym. I decided I needed an outside force to make me get back into it - and Ralph and ENRG was the best solution. Coming into it without working out for over a year, I definitely was out-of-shape. Ralph didn't make me feel embarrassed about it and was clear about realistic goals and timing. I appreciate that he isn't just all about cardio or strength training- he values and teaches on flexibility, joint mobility, posture, and even nutrition. He thoroughly explains why we do what we do - I know more about how my muscles work, what a stretch should be doing and how to complement exercises than I ever learned in health, science or gym classes. This comprehensive approach is exactly what I needed to understand and value the importance of taking care of myself. I've already seen great results in my energy, sleep, posture, strength and have lost several inches! I also realized I was doing several things incorrectly (including the basics like sit-ups and curls), and now notice when others are doing the same thing in the gym. Make an investment in your health and get on the right track with ENRG. I highly recommend them and look forward to reaching more of my goals just in time for swimsuit weather.
