I discovered this hidden gem of a gym in 2011 after reading about it in a DailyCandy. I can honestly say that in less than 3 months, On Your Mark Training and Coaching literally changed my life! I was running on my own and training on and off at a big box gym, but because I wasn’t doing any of it the right way, I never saw results. The trainers at On Your Mark put me through some of the toughest workouts ever, but because you’re in small group classes, you get such personal attention and form corrections, that in just 45-minutes a day you see amazing results. My favorite trainer and coach, co-owner Annette Fiscelli, has an amazing passion for her work, and her support and encouragement gave me the confidence that it’s never too late to become an athlete…not to mention how strong I felt and how good that made me feel about my body. These trainers and the amazing people I’ve met in the small group classes have become close friends and now going to On Your Mark is one of the best parts of my day. And after years of fun runs, with Annette’s coaching, I completed my first triathlon and am totally hooked! The On Your Mark gyms in Bucktown and West Loop are so much more than gyms, and I can’t recommend this team more highly if you’re looking to improve your quality of life, develop your passion for athletics, or just flat out feel great about your body!

Warning: If you are coming to a class via public transit on a night there is a Blackhawks or Bulls game - you're gonna need extra time. This is actually a pretty convenient place to get to from the Loop and is one of my go-tos for an after work workout. Same charm and aesthetic as the Damen location in Bucktown. They have a lot of supplies available at this location as well - protein, bars, etc. so be sure to stock up. Lockers, changing rooms and showers!

OYM has been a great place to train. Good people, great workouts, and how can you not love Jack!

Amazing Training with focus on Core Strength, Running, and Cycling!
