I first started kettlebell a few months ago with a groupon, and I absolutely fell in love with it! I love the work outs, I sweat like crazy every session and then feel my muscles sore the next couple days! (Which in my opinion is a good thing). The instructors are awesome, I feel like they truly care about you when training in the beginning, ensure you have proper technique, that you making each move count! The best quote when I first started came from Colleen "just show up and we will do the rest".....and its so true! I also run and am training for my first marathon (FOx valley) this fall 2015, and I love how this strength and endurance mix it up type training has really improved my running! Which I feel has steered me away from having injuries. I work out so hard in class that I welcome the "break" you get when they are teaching you the next series of moves. Its so cool to do stuff you see on the biggest loser....sledgehammer/ropes, and of course the kettlebell, (which you end up not even realizing how hard your breathing or working because your concentrating on form and technique and moving from one move to another). Ive lost 20lbs since joining, but even MORE important, I can do real push-ups, almost a pull up, and plank for 1 min. I could run 10 miles when I started, but couldnt do a real push up or more than 10 sit-ups....its amazing the strength I have gained in my core and my arms, and even back and neck. I feel the owner really cares about his staff and clients, I love the added benefits of his motivational emails and ones about nutrition. I am especially grateful this summer for the child care, with 4 kids (from 7yr old to 1yr old) it certainly makes getting there easier....I think Lexi is the young lady watching the kids now, and she does an amazing job!!! I never have to worry, I know they are having fun, and when I bring in my screaming 3yr old (because I said no to one of his millions requests) they got us right in, they helped make him feel at home and they all had a great time! Whew! But ALSO I appreciate the other people who work out there, they were so nice and empathetic like "weve been there we get it", and the instructor smiled at me, it meant a lot, I feel its a safe space, a warm and welcoming environment and it just washed the stress away and I leave so happy EVERY SINGLE TIME I go!!! And I know it is money well spent! So thank you Synergy and team you guys rock!!

I have been working out regularly since 2009. During this time I have tried the big chain gyms where I had to spend a fortune on personal training to feel as if I was more then just a number and where I was judged on what I wore and not the work I did. I have tried the 30 minute circuit training gyms to which I never broke a sweat and was bored silly .. the same thing day after day. I have tried a smaller gym with lots of cool equipment hoping to get a more personalized experience and the guarantee to never fall into a rut. I have also tried a Cross Fit box to which I loved but simply could not afford. It has been a long journey .... but I have finally found MY gym ... Synergy Kettlebell Training :) Here I dont have to spend a fortune to get personal training! Every class is taught by a trained coach who is interested in how I am performing. Every coach here challenges me yet is most encouraging on the days I am just not feeling it. What I wear doesnt matter, what counts is what I do! My time here is I am never bored! The workouts are different everyday and grouped by themes! The intensity is insane yet easily adaptable to any level of physical fitness. Plus is very affordable! I feel as if I have the best of both world ... Affordable coaching in a place where people come to work hard and are dedicated to becoming the new skinny strong. Bob and Lisa truly care for their clients and are committed to nothing but the best for the members. In addition to wonderful classes they regularly offer seminars on nutrition, form and technique for their members. They also sponsor many team events which provides a healthy dose of competition and a large serving of smiles. Being part of the Synergy family is amazing! Its an all in one experience! Great family friendly atmosphere, awesome workouts with fantastic results - fast! Bob and Lisa are determined to help their clients become the new Skinny Strong through a personal training experience and nutrition consultation. Come try a class out ... I know you will enjoy it and walk out feeling the new Skinny Strong!!

My wife signed up for a 3 month membership last year. Being that she is extremely fit, and knowledgable with exercise/training after 2 sessions decided that class wasnt beneficial for her goals. So, she decides to call and as a courtesy let them know that she will no longer be attending, with hopes that they would accommodate her as far as the remaining months were concerned. They refused to take her card off the autopay. We could have just cancelled the card but out respect my wife continued to pay $50 monthly for the remaining two months even though she was not attending the classes. Then, 3 months later, she gets a threatening email from the owner saying that she owes another month(month 4) because she didnt cancel within thirty days. We responded explaining that we did cancel and that its quite disturbing that you would ask for even more money after we paid over $100 for a class my wife didnt attend. Today, we now get a collections letter for $49.99 from Synergys owner. This ****has the audacity to put our familys livelihood at risk even after we paid two months to honor the contract. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME with this unethical, greedy business owner. We will bereporting them to the BBB for unethical business practices. Obviously your business is failing miserably if you need to try and steal money from customers because you are mad that they didnt like your services.

I have been a member since March 2013 and I LOVE Synergy Kettlebell!!!! I have to be honest when I say I was scared to attend my first class. I like using the elliptical trainer or treadmill and don’t like change. I was worried for absolutely NO reason!! The staff and other members were friendly and welcoming. I never felt out of place for using lighter kettlebells to begin with or not being able to do as much as some of the others. Everyone works at their pace and ability. The staff always offer modified ways of doing the exercises (if there is a modification). They also walk around and make sure you are doing the moves correctly. In essence you have a personal trainer at each class encouraging you and making sure you are working out properly. I love that the classes are only 35-45 minutes and that I am working out my entire body. The atmosphere is high energy and honestly the time FLIES by! They offer a playroom for you to bring your children while you workout. During the school year it is not staffed but the room is right off the workout area and there is a large window so you can see in. There are plenty of toys and a TV with Netflix. I have a 2 ½ year old that I have no problem taking to the playroom. If you are looking to try something new, give Synergy a try! It is by far the best workout I have ever done ... and I look forward to going!!
