Each station is outfitted with the same equipment. That means no waiting and no sharing - just training!
At the beginning of each month, we’ll calculate your reservation fees for the previous month and charge them to the card on file.
NOTE: Your clients will also have to have a waiver on file to use the space.

We are conveniently located in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood, between Andersonville/Edgewater and Lakeview.
Our studio is steps from the Uptown/Wilson Red-Purple Line Station (across from Truman College) on Wilson Avenue.
In addition to the train, we are close to the Broadway (36) and Clark (22) buses, and we’re directly on the Lawrence (81) and Montrose (78) bus routes.
There are also bike racks directly in front of our studio as well as a Divvy station across the street.
If you choose to drive, there is paid street parking directly in front on Wilson; and free street parking on Clifton, Racine*, and numerous other side streets in the area.
*1/2 block up Racine from Wilson, parking is still paid. North of there, parking is permit only between the hours of 6pm and 6am (i.e., if you’re there between 6am and 6pm, it’s free).

That’s kind of two questions!
How many trainers can reserve a station at once? Only one! You’ll never have to share your equipment with another trainer/client.How many people can be in a station at once? For a single station reservation, you are limited to three total people (including the trainer). If you reserve two tandem stations, the limit is seven total people. If you reserve all three stations on one side, the limit is 13 total people.
The smaller limit for a single station is to avoid crowding neighboring stations.
-
Unlike other gyms and training studios, we don’t charge more just because you’re working with multiple people - you simply pay for the hourly station reservation(s).
See our About page for detailed pricing info.
-
Trainers can reserve up to three side-by-side stations to create more space.
Simply book your time slot as many times as you need (once, twice, or thrice) and either put in the notes or email us directly that you’ll be using side-by-side stations.
-
Generally speaking, yes - you can stay in the same station. There are only two scenarios in which you may be asked to move:
You have a gap in between reservations. If you have a gap, the station you’re in might be the only one available for someone who has a reservation coming up.
Someone requests tandem stations. If someone is working with a small group, they may have booked side-by-side stations to accomodate.
-
Not directly, no. Each separate station reservation will, however, count toward your monthly total, so you’ll work your way into the less expensive tiers more quickly with tandem reservations.
