“I started with Ovi at Serious Strength Personal Training in April of 2021 and was the best thing I have ever done for myself. In this short time I’ve seen a significant increase in strength and muscle mass. The amount of knowledge and professionalism that Ovi has is amazing. In that hour of training with him his focus & attention is completely on you the whole time to make sure your safe and pushing yourself to the best of your ability. This gym is state of the art like nothing I have ever seen before. It has every possible type of equipment imaginable for health & fitness strength training. If you really want to get serious about your health n fitness I would definitely encourage anyone to check it out.”

“I’ve been training with OVİ almost 3 years. When I asked him about NPC Bikini Competition,he told me from the beginning that I had potential to win. He was right! In May 2022 I took 1st Place in NPC Illinois State Bikini Masters 35+Class. He encouraged me to go for it.He went above and beyond to make sure I had all the info and resources to be successful.I will forever be grateful for 💯 effort he put into helping me and cannot thank OVi enough for being my Master PT, a phenomenal coach. He is the BEST in Chicago 💪🏋️‍♀️”

“I have been training at Serious Strength for a year and a half now and I can honestly say this is the best gym experience I have ever had. Ovi and Rob are excellent personal trainers that are truly passionate about helping their clients. They listen to their client’s goals and provide a detailed plan to achieve them. The gym itself has the absolute best equipment I’ve ever seen. Serious Strength has every premium piece of equipment you could imagine. Lastly, the environment is so positive and fun. There is a sense of community amongst all of the clients and we motivate each other to be the best version of ourselves. If you’re looking for a new gym and personal trainer, Serious Strength is the best that’s out there. You will not be disappointed!”

“I have been training with Ovi for about 3 years. He is the most knowledgeable trainer I have ever had. He has helped me train through pregnancy and postpartum. I am currently 10lbs below my pre pregnancy weight. I always recommend Ovi to all of my friends and family who inquire about my weight loss journey. His gym had all top of the line brand new equipment. It is a privilege to be able to workout there.”

“I have been training with Rob for about 6 years. Rob is an amazing trainer who really cares about his clients. Not only does he listen to you about your personal goals, he takes his time to create personal workout plans and meal plans to help you meet them. I am the type of person who will stick to the same gym routine, so when I workout with Rob, he pushes me out of my comfort zone and helps me realize my potential. Since working out with him, I have become more confident, and stronger than I have ever been. For anyone who is looking to get back into the gym, this is the place to go and Rob is the person to see!”

“The place is bright and clean and not flooded with people. Ovi is an excellent NASM trainer with the knowledge to guide you to the results you want. He and I are focusing on strength building for an upcoming meet and I'm seeing those plates increase every time.”

“I’ve been training with Rob for a few years. I followed Rob from his previous location at a larger gym because he is a great trainer. This private gym is phenomenal. There are rarely more than four people in the gym at a time (including Rob and Ovi). Both trainers are friendly and knowledgeable. Rob is great about working around my knee issues. He pushes me to lift heavier despite my lack of motivation 🤣. The place is always clean and the equipment is high quality. Nothing is ever broken or dirty like larger gyms. 10/10 recommend for any fitness level”

“Serious Strength Personal Training has been hands down, the most positive and motivating personal training experience I have had. On top of that, I don’t say that lightly since I have been training with Rob for about a little over a month. It has made a big impression on me.
In the time I have spent training, I have felt welcomed and listened to on so many levels. Ovi and Rob spend time with each client, crafting training programs with individualized goals to meet you where you are at and to get you where you want to go. This was highly important to be having come from past experiences feeling that I am pushed to hard to do something, injured from training or felt that my goals weren’t being taken into consideration at all.
I appreciate the professionalism, knowledge, approachable and passionate stance they take to help people (including myself) become the strongest they can be. The training environment is amazing and caters to one on one sessions with a truly positive approach. I can safely say I am just as serious about staying with Serious Strength long term as they are with their Personal training approach.”

“I’ve been training with Rob since February 2022. I came in not knowing a single thing about working out. Rob was able to guide me through our workout and keep me motivated. Since then I’ve seen a dramatic change in not only my weight but my confidence. Ovi and Rob care about their clients and the gym. The gym is always clean and well taken care of. I highly recommend Serious Strength.”

“The facility is clean, has quality equipment. Ovi always follows the recommended safety guidelines. I started training w/Ovi two years ago after I had my 3rd child. My body has never been healthier and I’m in the best shape of my life. Ovi is professional and educated, he listens to his clients’ goals and creates individual plans to fit their lifestyle.”
