Sari Weis Personal Training

I have tried at least 5 personal trainers at various gyms and while I was super excited to workout with Sari the first time, I was cautiously optimistic because so many trainers start out strong and then start to lose their spark. I have worked out for 2 months with Sari and she motivates me so much that I see her multiple times a week! She is freaking full of energy and I we have a lot of likes in common so we always have things to chat about (while she’s kicking my butt of course!).
The workouts are varied and a nice combo of boxing, old school stuff (leg lifts, etc.) and functional exercise (step-​ups, stairs, etc.). Don’t feel intimidated as Sari will demonstrate exercises first, talk you through it and also correct your form along the way. I have neck issues and she is good to modify for me without me feeling inadequate. Love Sari!

I wanted to write about my great experience with Ms.Weis. I am a big guy and initially I felt a little embarrassed by the prospect of going to a female trainer. However, Sari was highly recommended by a close friend so I decided to give her a try. Sari made me feel at ease right from the get go. Don’t let the «girl trainer» fool you. She has kicked my butt! She constantly changes up different workouts as I progress. I am eating way better than I ever have. She is awesome!

In addition to keeping my butt elevated, Sari lifts my spirit. She is by far the most dedicated personal trainer I’ve seen. Her mission is to help you get fit and feel good. She listens. She encourages. She is hands on (respectfully of course). She is a joy to workout with!

I have been working with Sari for nearly five years now. As a woman in her 40’s my workout needs have evolved and changed and Sari has been able to modify them to keep me in great shape! She is a wealth of fitness knowledge and her nutritional coaching has been life changing. Her positive and upbeat attitude continues to motive and challenge me. I would HIGHLY recommend Ms.Weis.

I’m hooked! I just finished my first session with Sari and I feel amazing and so motivated! This was my first time EVER using a personal trainer– they’ve always seemed intimidating and out of reach for me-​but these pounds aren’t coming off by themselves, so I thought I would give it a try… I’m so happy that I did!!! Sari is a pro! She guides you through the entire session and helps motivate at the perfect moments! I’m so glad I found her, she’s a gem!!!

I cannot say enough good things! Sari is an amazing trainer. She has the ability to make a hard workout enjoyable. You can tell the amount of thought and effort that goes into every session. I started seeing results quickly and continue to see more every week. Hands down, the best trainer you will ever work with!

Sari has completely changed my life! I’ve lost over 35 pounds and found out I have so much more strength than I ever realized. I’m in better shape now than I’ve ever been. Just read the reviews below — she is a great, motivational, inspirational woman who truly cares about your well being. I had never worked out before and I feel confident to walk into any gym now by myself. I’m training now for my first thru-​hike (3000km) and would have never been able to even think about this before working with Sari! I also have to say that I used to have tons of pain, problems sleeping, and since working out with her this has all gone away! I’ve never been happier and more confident in my life!

If you’re looking for a trainer, I can tell you that your search is over. Before I found Sari, I had terrible experiences with trainers who didn’t listen to what I wanted and I was pretty much just a paycheck to them. I cannot emphasize how different it is with Sari. She listens to my needs and actually cares about my progress. Every session with Sari is tough, but it’s the most fun I’ve ever had working out (and I NEVER thought I would say those words next to each other). She’s motivating and never makes you feel inadequate. With Sari, there is no such thing as «I can’t do it», only «I’ve never been taught how to do it properly.» And she’ll get you there.
No workout is the same, but every workout has my muscles screaming at the end. She teaches you how to have the best form to maximize effectiveness and you can feel your body changing. She’s taught me how to activate muscles in my body that I didn’t even know I had. And for cardio, we box. I’m not talking about one of those gym-​like kickboxing classes. Nope. We put on boxing gloves and we box. And it is by far the most fun (and admittedly therapeutic) cardio you will ever do.
I can say a thousand wonderful things about Sari, but the day after a session when you wake up and your aching muscles remind you of how hard she worked you the day before– that’s all I need.

Sari Weis is THE best personal trainer! I’ve been working with her for about 3 months and she has totally helped me get back into shape. Each session is a mixture of strength training, weights, sit-​ups, cardio, boxing and so much more. The hour just flies by. Sari focuses on you doing the exercises correctly for maximum impact. She challenges you and encourages you — a perfect combination.
Whether you are looking to tighten up or lose weight — I would HIGHLY recommend Sari Weis.

I’ve been working out with Sari for the last nine months and have become a much healthier and stronger person both physically and mentally. The beginning was tough because she is an aggressive personal trainer but the results are awesome.
Sari works with you right through the exercise period and finishes off with some stretching exercises that are really invigorating. She also has a tough mental attitude that may seem overly aggressive to some but I figured that’s the only way you can accomplish your goal of developing the right form that she lays emphasis on. I recently joined the boxing classes at her gym and I’m loving it. Keeping in shape has reduced my incidence of illnesses and has given me the right attitude to keep working out thanks to Sari. I recommend this to all those who have a problem with sticking to their régime.

I am not sure I can say enough about Sari to do her any justice. After speaking to a couple a different trainers, I began to lose hope because I did not like any of the ones I spoke with. I was determined to find the PERFECT trainer, so I googled «best personal trainer in Chicago» and the first person on Unilocal was Sari Weis. I emailed her and she emailed me back the same day and later that night we spoke over the phone. I originally wanted a trainer to come to my home, but after speaking with Sari I knew I had to have her as my trainer and the commute would be well worth it.
Let me tell you, I made the best decision ever and I found the PERFECT trainer! I started about 8 weeks ago and I see her two times a week. I had never worked out with a trainer before, so I was a little weary, but Sari’s outgoing and friendly personality put me at ease immediately. Her energy is contagious, her attitude is motivating, and her dedication to her clients is admirable. She is beyond patient and supportive. I walk in not knowing what to expect because she’s always switching it up, which I love, but I can always expect a killer workout! I always leave Sari feeling absolutely amazing. She is really big on form and will always correct me which I appreciate so much! Sari always does the workouts with me which I absolutely love about her and it makes working out so much better! If there is something I don’t like or struggle with she has a million other things I can do. I never feel stupid or embarrassed with her which is so important to me.
I have seen significant changes in my body in just the 8 weeks I have been working out with her. I have dropped 10 lbs since I started with her. I got a huge compliment from a friend recently who knows how much I hate my legs and how self conscious I am about them. She saw my legs for the first time since starting with Sari and she could not believe how much tighter and smaller my legs look and how great my butt looks. She was so impressed and couldn’t stop talking about it! I also went to a baby shower this past weekend with some of my girlfriends whom I have not seen in a month or two and when I walked in they were all so surprised with how I looked. Only two of the girls knew I have been working out with a trainer and the rest of them wanted to know what my secret was. They could not believe how much my body has changed in the last couple of months and were impressed to say the least!
I cannot say enough about Sari and what she has done for me. I would without any hesitations recommend her to anyone and everyone. Sari has shown me how to workout and has given me the confidence and tools to workout the days I do not see her.. I was someone who did not like working out at all and I promise you I look forward to my workouts with her! She has taught me so much and I am so grateful I found her! Sari has truly changed my life!

I’m totally addicted! I had fallen off the proverbial work out wagon a few years ago after several injuries and could just not get back into it. I’ve never had a personal trainer and never thought I would because in every club I’ve belonged to — I’ve witnessed PT’s walking around with their clip boards just talking or counting… I don’t think that would benefit me. Found Sari on Unilocal and was intrigued by the girl that said Sari can get so much out of a one hour work out. I thought about it too long and then called Sari. She is so nice and knowledgable I decided to give it a shot. Now I’m hooked. I LOVE her work outs. She is incredibly patient and caters to what your desires and/​or areas of need are and injuries. She does many of the exercises with me — which I love. She is so strict about form because it truly is important so she will work with you so that your getting the most out of it. I love when I tell her something hurts or I didn’t feel it she will do the exercise herself until she figures out why it hurts or why it isn’t working the right muscles and then shows me how to do it. I can’t say enough about how much I absolutely love working with Sari. A friend recently commented on how great my legs look and how I should wear shorter shorts! My boyfriend is amazed at the results in my behind and legs too! It’s just really fun and Sari really gets results. I’m hooked!

Going to Sari has been one of the best decisions I have EVER made! I started with her about 5 months ago, not knowing how much she would change my life for the better. I have worked with trainers in the past and never found one that I clicked with as much as Sari. She truly believes in me and cares about me. She cares about my life both inside and outside of the gym. She is so incredibly caring and lighthearted. In the past, I have dreaded (that’s putting in mildly) training sessions or anytime spent at the gym. I am not athletic by nature and, in the past, have been intimidated by exercise classes and the whole gym experience. That has all changed since going to Sari. I cannot believe I am about to write this – but I LOVE and LOOK FORWARD to my workouts with Sari! I walk away feeling stronger, more energized and more empowered each and every time. Sari keeps my sessions exciting with her wide repertoire of exercises. She is encouraging and supportive without being aggressive. She challenges me to do my personal best. She is so present during our sessions; really participating with me (instead of just showing me). Sari is extremely attuned to the details of my body mechanics, constantly adjusting me or the exercises for maximum benefit. In the past 5 months, I have lost 15 pounds and one pant size. I am sleeping better, have better posture and more motivated than ever to take good care of myself and my body. Even more impressive to me, though, is the confidence I have gained. 5 months ago, I walked into my first session feeling insecure about my body and my abilities. I now feel leaner, stronger, healthier and more self-​assured than ever before! Sari is the absolute best!

I trained with Sari back in 2005 to get in the best shape of my life and have started training with her again. I am not a person who needs to be motivated to work out or go to the gym. In fact, it’s one of the things I LOVE most. I don’t NEED a trainer to tell me what to do or motivate me. So why do I see Sari? I started a new job where I was working ALOT and needed to have a standing appointment for someone to kick my a$$. I need to be able to be in and out of the gym in an hour. You know those days when you are exhausted and then it takes you forever to actually get to the good part of the work out? No more lollygagging on my warm up. Sari keeps me on track and gets me in and out. My husband even said I am in the best shape he has ever seen. What I love best about Sari is that she LISTENS to you. Too much? She’ll take it down a notch. Too little? She’ll push you further. She doesn’t make you do heroic stunts that are going to kill that bum knee because she knows many different ways to get the job done. She also goes out of her way to make her clients feel comfortable with what they are doing/​paying for. There is a reason why her clients are so loyal. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone at any and all fitness levels. She is THE best!

I’ve been training with Sari for about 4 months now. One of the best parts of what Sari offers is the tailoring of a routine to your needs, goals, and capabilities. She also works in new routines and keeps things interesting and as such your body is always being challenged. Sari is a full service personal trainer and addresses excercise habits and provides food tips and tricks.
Every session I notice something different about my body, continually improving composition. I’ve also improved my endurance by 10 fold, dropped some lbs, and lowered my cholesterol. Great stuff and more motivation to keep going because Sari has me on the right track.

After spending many years at various gyms, working with personal trainers, trying different exercise studios, I have finally found someone who not only knows what she’s doing, but has helped me get in the best shape of my life.
Sari is encouraging, realistic about your needs, and tailors each and every workout to fit your expectations. Right down to the music she selects for the workout. She puts tremendous emphasis on proper form, and form is what will maximize your workout and your results. She has no attitude or gimmick. Just a person who cares about her clients and wants to seem them achieve their goals.
I am moving to Florida in two weeks, and if there are a few people I’d love to bring with me, she would be one of them.
I can’t recommend her enough!

I found Sari through her amazing reviews on Unilocal and so far everything is true. I’ve only been with her for about two months, but it’s been a great experience so far. The hour always goes by amazingly fast.
I wasn’t at all athletic before I started and she caters the session to you. We usually end with boxing, which is quickly becoming one of my favorites. She has a wonderful attitude and keeps pushing you, but never too aggressive. Sari does great at continuously making small adjustments and corrections as we go. She does the exercises with you and helps you with great stretching afterwards.
Sari has space at a local gym and we make great use of the facilities. She gives advice on continuing your workout at home or your own gym, plus help with food/​diet.
I’m looking forward to seeing more results and continuing to get better! Try Sari now before she completely books up!

I’ve been working out with Sari on and off for over 5 years, and she is an amazing.
Whenever I stop training, I now realize how much time I waste simply going to the gym. Sari taught me proper weight-​lifting form, helped strengthen my core, improve my balance, flexibility, and posture. Sari has such enthusiasm that which makes working out enjoyable. Her dedication to each client is top notch.
Just when you are ready to give up, she will help you power through another set and make you feel the burn. The best part is that she will do the exercises with you and constantly move you into the correct positions to maximize your results.
Verdict: Sari is an awesome trainer and motivational coach. She tailors sessions to meet your needs and changing goals, you get a complete workout in an efficient amount of time, she pushes you hard (and you see results!)

THE BEST MOTIVATION! Mark my words… try her out soon because when word gets out, you will never get a spot with her. Every personal trainer I have ever been with was good, not great… and I have been to some of the so called, «best of the best»…trainers for the stars.
Sari, explains, demonstrates, does it with you, and makes it fun! I’m very athletic (gymnast, skiier, ice skater, tri-​athlete, etc.) and I thought I had done every boring strength exercise out there, but she was able to find new ones! Not only has my body transformed and strength increased, but my mood and energy level has skyrocketed! She explains how to correct your technique in words you understand. She pays attention to your individual body, your wants and needs. It’s the most personalized session I’ve ever had and my body knows it… more strength, flexibility, energy.
She’s a life changer. …because she cares so much and has such an incredible passion for what she does.
You will work but you will LOVE it! I can’t say enough amazing things about Sari. Her style is incomparable and even hard to put into words.
Check her out… seriously, try it! It may be the best thing you have ever done for yourself, your mood, your quality of life.
AND, she has developed her own stretch/​massage technique that is unreal… I would go to her for an entire hour of that!
Have fun!

I have struggled with weight my entire life. I have been to trainers, weight watchers, fast you name it. But nothing in the WORLD was like meeting Sari Weiss. The way she works out with you is amazing. SHe takes the time to make sure your doing everything to your most potential. And its FUN. She is fun! I love it. I tell her all the time if she moves-​Im moving with her. Because I cant live without her.
People do not even know its me half the time, my entire body/​face has transformed! And I feel strong. And more confident. She is awesome
