I can’t say enough about this wonderful fitness team. They take the time to understand your specific needs and goals. They then work with you explaining every step so that you feel confident that you will experience positive results. Paul, Andrea & Dan invest in your success. I feel better & I know you will too.

I joined October 14th. I have had strength issues with my left arm and shoulder for years. I feel a difference with the exercises that Paul is having me do. I have more work ahead of me, but I think this is my answer for a better life. I am very grateful that I found this gym.

Have you ever wanted to feel like you’re #1? Check out the trainers at this gym because that’s how they make you feel. I am not just a number through the door, it’s fun and friendly. I my first goals were to be able to get off the floor and improve my posture. I have met those goals and even lost some weight. It’s the first time I actually go to the gym rather than just pay for a gym. My husband has seen my results and joined “The Strength Revolution” to reach his own goals. If you want to feel better, get better or just keep the strength you have this is a perfect gym for you to check out. I signed up for 6 sessions and have stayed for almost 4 years. When I feel good, I look good and can function at my BEST. Thank you Paul, Dan and Andrea

We came upon The Strength Revolution while doing a Google search for a gym as close as possible to our home. We are so grateful for the community we have found here. Andrea, our personal trainer, has taught us so much in our 10 sessions we signed up for in January. My husband has back issues and she has taught him what to do for his back when he pulls it out and how to strengthen it to avoid pulling it out. She has helped me strengthen the muscles I needed for my weak knees, along with my core, legs, and upper arm strength. We are looking forward to continuing with her. She teaches us something new every week! Thank you Andrea!

My wife and I started training with Andrea back in October 2023. We were both relatively new to strength training and felt a mix of excitement and apprehension. Since the start of our training, Andrea has been our rock—always patient (she understands when we're having a bad day and adjusts her plans accordingly), informative (she never makes us feel foolish for asking questions or requesting a second demonstration), and motivational (she gently pushes us to exceed our perceived limits).

Now, more than half a year later, my wife and I have not only gained physical strength but also witnessed a remarkable transformation in our stamina, confidence, and overall physicality. Despite the occasional pre-training grumbles, our sessions with Andrea have become integral to our routine, leaving us feeling better than when we first walked in.

Starting a fitness journey was daunting. I had specific goals and thought, getting a trainer was a great way to hold myself accountable. Accountability along with so much more, I got! Trainers who care, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, etc! I couldn’t have asked for more. Paul has been encouraging, motivational, and compassionate. He cares and if you have issues, he won’t give up until he helps fix you.

The Strength Revolution Gym, owned by brothers Paul and Dan D’Arco is a Personal Training and Open Gym facility located in Shorewood, Illinois in the Jewel Osco shopping plaza. They and their team specifically program work-outs for their clients that are designed for their unique goals while focusing on injury prevention.

The Strength Revolution does not host group classes. I used to love group classes, but the more and more I work with my Trainer, Paul, the more I discover how group classes were more of a hindrance than an asset. They are fine as an addition to your workout program, but I learned that you cannot focus your entire fitness plan on group classes alone. Many gyms that have group programs, and their workouts are centered towards the general population, so there’s no real progression. Also, many of those facilities allow so many participants in their classes that the instructor would not be able to address individuals experiencing issues or challenges with any of the specific movements, or the workout as a whole. So many people with difficulties get lost in the process leaving a lot of room for injuries to occur.

The Strength Revolution has worked with me from Day 1. My trainer took the time to learn my personal fitness goals and created an individual based program just for me. He works with me to monitor my progress while teaching me how to keep advancing as I continue to move forward or if my fitness goals change. Paul also is very knowledgeable on injury prevention. Having a history of shoulder problems and a hip impingement, he has taught me warmup exercises and stretches to help in my heavy movements like squats, deadlifts and presses be more effective and without any discomfort or pain. He passes this knowledge onto his team as well so they can take that information and use it to help their clients.

The whole team at The Strength Revolution in Shorewood are absolutely amazing. They are extremely knowledgeable about fitness and fitness programming all while helping clients like me avoid injury during training. I highly recommend Strengthen Revolution for anyone looking to progress in their fitness training, whether you’re a beginner or been working out for decades.
