Why You Should Go: It’s always a good idea to hit the gym, but much like attempting to fix a car or cooking for a dinner party, it’s not always a great idea if you don’t know what you’re doing. Unfortunately personal training sessions are too expensive for most people, but at Intermix Fitness you can get three weeks of semi-private lessons without breaking the bank.

What You Should Know: Unlike a lot of workouts, Intermix Fitness’ one-hour, semi-private classes place an emphasis on high-energy resistance, repetition and stamina, not simply strength. Certified trainers will whip you into shape in classes of no more than six people, ensuring you’ll get the one-on-one attention you deserve, while being able to motivate and be motivated by your classmates. With nine classes every week right in the heart of Bucktown, you’ll have plenty of options to choose from, so get down to Intermix Fitness and get ready to tone your body right.
