At Blockhead Fitness, ACE-certified personal trainer Sean Block and his experienced fitness staff whip bodies into shape with custom full-body workouts in a spacious personal-training studio illuminated with natural light. Exercisers of all abilities can pair up with a trainer and take advantage of a wealth of fitness accouterments, such as free weights, medicine balls, and resistance-training apparatus, to slim down bodies so they can fit comfortably in kangaroo pouches.

When certified trainer Diana Ozimek isn't demonstrating practical exercises as a correspondent on NBC Chicago news, she's leading phalanxes of women on fitness forays throughout Lakeview. Like athletes in the off-season, campers lunge across open fields, blast through plateaus while jumping rope, or speed up progress with a time-altering montage. Sessions cycle through a constantly changing roster of exercises to keep muscles confused, and because routines are gender specific, they can focus on workouts specifically designed for women. The non-competitive classes foster a supportive environment, and nutritional advice keeps campers on the straight and narrow between meetings.
At first sight, David Barton Gym might appear to be an art gallery or swank pad complete with pounded steel plating and leather-wrapped door handles, but a second glance reveals a 30,000-square-foot fitness haven overlooking the Chicago River. The designer gym is loaded with free weights, cardio machines, a spin studio, steam rooms, a Russian bath, and a space for yoga class. Meet up with an experienced hardbody personal trainer and melt fat like a George Foreman grill with a barrage of pushups, sit-ups, or 20 minutes on the TV-topped elliptical machine. Renew your will with a massage from one of Barton's three full-time therapists and let them unkink the knots that prevent you from having the strength needed to throw a dictionary through a thicker dictionary.
