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.

As an older lady, I feel very supported by the staff here. The other women who come here are a good part of this weightlifting community. I would have felt a bit isolated without them. It’s only been about a month but I’m already sitting and standing better. And liking squats and deadlifts. Thanks Alex!!!

I cannot recommend this gym enough! I love that throughout your training you receive custom feedback on the movements based on your specific body type, unique history, and goals. Whether you are new to barbell training or an experienced lifter, the coaches give you individualized attention and expertise that help you improve your performance both safely and effectively. As a novice in the gym, I was nervous and intimidated to start training but this gym community and encouraging atmosphere has made each session fun and appro... read more

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.
