"I moved to IL a year ago and The Bar has been nothing but a blessing. Me and my girlfriend have made so many friends. Our PRs have exploded as well from the training and advice we have received. On top of a phenomenal facility, the gym has several national class trainers with years of experience. They also have their own impressive records and 1st place medals to back up their programs. I couldn't recommend this gym and it's staff more to someone who wants to grow in a supportive community."
