About this business

Barbell-based strength training for trainees of all walks of life. Supervised coaching from Starting Strength Coaches. Strength improves all aspects of our physical existence. It is the ability to produce force against an external resistance and is how we interact with our environment. It is, therefore, an absolute requirement to function normally as a human being. Without sufficient strength, all of our interactions become sub-optimal. This is the place to build strength.

This review is for all the gym-shy ladies wondering if “lifting heavy” at a barbell gym like Starting Strength Chicago might be right for them. (Spoiler: I, a nearly 50-year-old previously gym-shy lady, am here to tell you that it is.) If you’re reading this, you probably already know about the health benefits of strength training for women - especially when that training incorporates progressively adding more resistance over time. And that’s good, because I have zero qualifications to preach about that, other than to state ... read more

Knowledgeable and friendly trainers who collaborate with you in order to obtain your goals. Clean and well maintained gym. Pushing 4 months with Starting Strength and moving weight I didn’t think I’d be able to.

I LOVE this gym. I had been thinking about joining for years and finally committed to it 6 months ago. Evelyn has made a huge difference in my bench technique and confidence. I never thought benching 100lbs would feel easy, but it does. Jon continues to figure out the best ways to coach me in the power clean. I look forward to it now instead of dreading power clean days! I cannot recommend this place enough… I only wish I joined sooner.

I’ve been coming to SS Chicago for almost two years now, after starting to lift at SS Columbus in early 2023.

I’ve also worked through minor injuries with the help of the great coaches at SS Chicago & have always felt supported no matter what my goals were. Lifting has genuinely changed my life - as someone who struggled for most of my life to find a form of exercise th... read more

I have been going to Starting Strength Chicago for 3 years. The coaching staff is fantastic! Alex is always helping me improve my lifts, and most importantly helping me to get stronger. The clients are fantastic as well. It is a real pleasure to spend time with people who have become friends. Everyone is very encouraging. Jon, the owner, fosters this sense of camaraderie with regular member outings where everyone can meet outside the gym. This a great place to get strong, I highly recommend!
