From the very first day the entire staff knew my name and my ten year olds name. Excellent staff that are very encouraging and knowledgeable. They have a great system for disinfecting before, during, and after workouts. Classes are challenging, fun, and educational. A great energy in this place that just gets you excited to work out.

Loved it!! Class was well a rounded, total body work out. Trainer did a fantastic job modifying exercises as needed for participants at various fitness levels. Thoroughly impressed at how well gym managed social distancing guidelines while maintaining a high level of attentiveness to its members. As someone in the healthcare industry, POW is taking all of the necessary precautions in sanitizing & disinfecting to keep everyone safe!!

I found a home at Pow gym. I signed up for the 2 week trial & opted to join as a full member after 1 day! The programming is challenging & constantly evolving. The caliber of the training staff & facilities are without question top notch.They are also extremely diligent & go above & beyond sanitizing & taking all the necessary precautions to keep members safe.Kudos to the independent, micro gym that has their s@#% together!Support small!!

We had an amazing superhero themed 4th birthday party for my son at POW Gym last weekend. The event was perfect. The kids had a blast, the Batman theme was well executed and most of all Lauren and Mariana were SO GOOD with the kids! They knew all of the kids names and kept them so engaged. They were also super helpful with setup and clean up. The event totally exceeded my expectations. We will be back!

We did an hour long team building self defense class at POW and everyone loved it! I was amazed with how much I learned in just an hour but it also made me realize how much I do not know. I will definitely be back!

This place is great! Super friendly, kind, and knowledgeable staff, GREAT equipment, and a training regiment that will get any person at any athletic level where they need to be. I have competed martial arts for years, and came here for my strength training, recovery, and conditioning. I lost ten lbs in only a few months, between the owner Katalin, and Coach Sue, Im moving better at 34, than I have in years. Thanks youre awesome!!

Love how this gym feels like home and all the staff feel like family. I have been coming here for over 6mnts now and I love it so much. Couldn’t see myself going anywhere else. Fun and friendly and truly wants you to be here. You don’t feel like just another number like at larger gyms. This gym experience is personal and comfortable. If you want to have fun and get a great workout this is definitely the place for you. If you come to POW! You won’t regret it. (Try B.A.D)

Any place that allows a venue for Military Vets to workout and talk for physical and mental health on top of training the community is 5 stars to me.

Their kids day camps are an awesome way to fill the day when CPS students are off school. We never have an issue with scheduling, the staff is always very welcoming and our son always comes home exhausted (win for mom!). Flexible, dependable and fun. Highly recommend.

Katalin and her team are top notch. Their approach is based in years of experience, expertise, and continued learning. I’ve taken self defense before and never felt so comfortable and empowered by the strategies. It’s also very special what they are doing to spread this work across the city to make us all stronger. Thank you POW and looking forward to coming to more classes!

I was visiting Chicago for work and signed up for two weeks at POW. I loved the workouts, gym, staff, and other members. I received training in boxing, muai Thai, karate, strength training, etc. I learned new combos for and Muay Thai. They allowed me to borrow gear while I trained with them. I will definitely return. The owner and staff made me feel at home and was sad that I do not have this gym in my hometown!

There are many great things I could say about POW! Gym, one that really goes above and beyond for me is the commitment not only to the children’s physical well being, but also their academics. My children look forward to going and are typically reluctant to leave.

POW is a great facility to learn self defense & strength and conditioning for yourself and family with a knowledgeable and welcoming staff. I went to Katalin to learn Krav Maga and found so much more. Their strength and conditioning classes will transform your body. And its not only a physical practice, they can also support your nutritional needs.Their kids classes support kids of all levels and assist each child in uncovering their inner strength and confidence. They are well thought out classes to balance kids strengths.They also have the most creative kids Birthday parties. The Nerf party was awesome!
