REVIEWS FROM YOU

“Carson has been my personal trainer for over three years. He is dedicated to perfecting his craft while utilizing broad skills to develop a comprehensive and personalized training program for me. The benefits I’ve received from working with Carson go far beyond the typical results of better physical fitness. My strength, agility, balance and tone have all improved dramatically but as importantly, my self-confidence, comfort in who I am and how I present myself have added greatly to my continuing journey towards improved health and a more meaningful longer life.”

“Carson Neely of Uncommon Fitness is devoted and dedicated to the well-being of his clients, their health and the space. The gym is meticulously clean yet spacious and modern. All of the equipment is brand new and you can tell chosen with consideration. The strength training Carson organizes is thoughtful and curated specifically to each of his clients. Nothing cookie cutter and nothing you would do with any general fitness class at the big box gyms. I’ve seen myself grow stronger physically and mentally since training with Carson. I’m thankful for his knowledge and his drive to motivate me and make me feel my best. He also coaches on nutrition which is hand and hand with the workouts. He is hands down the best trainer in the Chicago land area.”

“I’ve been working with Carson at Uncommon Fitness for almost a year, after dealing with a few sports related injuries. He designed a strength building program that has been transformative, and has made a huge difference in my overall strength and physique. I feel stronger, and am less injury prone. His approach is professional, method and science backed. In fact, I have recommended Carson and Uncommon Fitness to several friends. No matter where you are starting on your fitness and strength journey, Uncommon Fitness is a great fit.”

“I have been training with Carson at Uncommon Fitness for over a year now. Admittedly I hate to exercise but LOVE going to work out with Carson. Not only is the studio spotless, bright, and conveniently located, Carson makes working out fun! He is constantly changing up what we do, is completely in tune to my individual needs, goals, injuries and daily aches and pains. He plays great music and will even take requests 🙂 Might seem silly but it’s all the little details he pays attention to that make him a phenomenal trainer and his studio the perfect place to work out. He’s professional, is beyond passionate about his business, his clients and living a healthy but realistic lifestyle. He is happy to make suggestions regarding diet but never pushes anything on you and is not super extreme. I have been able to meet my fitness goals and owe it all to Carson. You will not be disappointed if you sign up!”

“This gym puts others to shame, 10 cuts above! Carson is professional and takes the time to ask your goals, and then designs sessions completely tailored to you. He’s worked with my family for years, and always shows up ready to work and in a positive mood. Uncommon Fitness is the most professional place that has immensely improved my relationship with exercise and what it means to be strong. 10 stars!”
