If I could give 6 stars to this place I would, and no, I'm not being paid to write this I'm just really happy here lol. Before I came here, I essentially had no experience with personal fitness at all. I can happily say that, after a year of going here, I'm in the best physical shape I've been in my entire life! The owner Rich is a truly awesome guy, he isn't afraid to tell you hard truths (if ur not putting in the work lol) but he also isn't the type of guy to make you feel bad or to discourage you from wanting to achieve your goals. What I love most about Northside is that it's for everyone. Some gyms are not mixed gender, but I have to say that this is one of the most female-friendly gyms in the area! Ive heard this from women all over Chicago who have tried many intro classes and say this gym by far has been the most welcoming. Not only that, people of all skill levels are accepted. They have classes for beginners, more experienced people, and even occasionally do muay thai or other classes as well. There are a wide variety of coaches for the classes (including women, some of whom are pro boxers) AND they can connect you with a great personal trainer if you want one. So whether you're there just to have fun and get fit, or you want to get in the ring for real, they'll have something for you. Classes every day, and if you pay the monthly fee, you can come to as many as you want + use their gym on top of that :) I'm so glad I chose this gym <3 Everyone is so positive and encouraging, I can't say I've ever had anyone be mean to me or even dismissive for not being the greatest at boxing ahaha. They really make you feel like you matter even if there's a lot of people that want to be here. Tl;dr awesome whether you're a beginner, a pro, a dude or a lady, young or old. Seriously, if you're debating giving it a go or not, just show up to a trial class. You'll see what I mean :)

Unfortunately had to cancel my membership due to some chaining life circumstances, but this gym rocks. Chill and welcoming environment for newbies, and Coach Willie helped me sort out my footwork while being a super encouraging and disciplined coach. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get into boxing!
