The 20 Best Exercise program in Lake in the Hills, Illinois

“I highly recommend this location for any therapy needs. I had hand surgery on both of my hands this summer and received OT from Jodie Auliff and Susan Meinhardt. They are so knowledgable, friendly, patient, caring and just all around great people. I actually enjoyed my OT sessions with both of them. I am happy to say I made so much progress because of their guidance. So thank you so much Jodie and Susan - y'all are the BEST!! Debbie Herbert”

“My friend referred me to NovaCare, and I'm so glad she did!! Olivia, Tiffani, and Cheri are all awesome!!! They are all easy to talk to, and will make every effort to help as much as possible. I had been going to a different therapist in town and not getting relief for my shoulder, arm, and neck pain. After the very first visit with Olivia at NovaCare, I already felt a difference!! Weeks later, I'm feeling MUCH better! You rock, ladies!!”

“Took lessons here for about a month, and lessons have been amazing. I've been terrified of the water, and the instructor was very patient with me the whole time. I was able to float after the very first class, and it was a big accomplishment for myself. I look forward to the upcoming classes :)”

“These guys are awesome! Very good aikido!”

“Megan and Susan really know what they are doing. They are adept at pushing you just enough to make gains without aggravating what you are there to improve. Everyone at this location is extremely nice and goes out of their way to help you. Highly recommend them if you are in need of physical therapy.”

“We love HLC! My daughter has been seeing Ms Courtney for about a year and in that time her speech has gone from 1-2 words to over 50!! She is so wonderful to work with and our girl loves seeing her! We are so fortunate that when we realized it would be best for her to get her sessions in at day care, Ms Courtney was able to go see her and help her in her class environment. We truly appreciate everything she has done for our family!!!”

“While I originally was going to sign my daughter up at Ha’s for self defense training, Grand Master Ha convinced me to sign up as well. While after 6 years, my daughter has moved onto Cheerleading full-time, Ha’s training served as a good basis to build up other skills. I, on the other hand, continue to go today (9+ years later). Originally it was a great way to de-stress from my day and learn some new skills. As time has gone on, I have found (and continue to find) it helps me to grow both physically and mentally. The Grand Master and his instructors want to focus on personal growth and becoming a better person as a result of the training. Having talked to people whom have gone to other gyms, what stands out about Ha’s TKD (unlike other gyms) they are not just trying to ‘push’ you through the process to get a black belt as quickly as possible. They are more focused on character and skills development. They like to ensure you learn the skills to take you to the next (belt) level prior to going to that level. You promote to the next belt when both you and the instructors are confident with your skills. When I think about the amount of growth in skills, flexibility, strength, focus over the years, I am amazed why I did not start sooner! Thanks Master Ha!!”

“Garrett has been a friend, mentor, and coach for me over the years. He helped me achieve my goals of becoming a junior hockey player which ended abruptly due to a career ending surgery. He helped me bounce back physically and mentally to find a new path where I became a 4-0 USA Amateur boxer with 3KOs. Not only do I trust him, but my family does. He has helped my little sister become a D1 Soccer player at TCU, where she left high school early to join them. Outside of being a trainer, Garrett has become one of my closest friends as our friendship started when I was working as a gym janitor. He would always ask me “why you do dis” and the only answer he would accept would be, “because I love it!” Whatever your sport, journey, or challenges are… Garrett will help you and be there for you every step of the way, because he loves it.”

“We are extremely happy with being a part of “FOCUS”. Our both kids are students here. Our son was very shy as a little kid. We decided to introduce him to karate. He started training with Sensei Marianne O’Hara at age of 6. She is amazing with kids, and it’s great to see how much love and respect students have for her. Our son went from going once a week (over 6 years ago), to now going 5-6 times a week. Our daughter joined the Focus Family when she was 4 (following her big brother). Both of our kids greatly benefit from the Dojo and the family atmosphere it creates. It helps kids feel part of a real community, where they learn valuable life lessons and improving their karate skills. You can really see students confidence level build week after week. All the instructors are not only highly skilled, knowledgeable and supportive but also have an amazing way of keeping kids focused. They really concentrate on discipline and respect for the sport, each other and themselves. Thank you Sensei Jim and Marianne O’Hara, Sensei Ciprian and the rest of the Team! We are grateful to be a part of this Family!”

“Starting at a new gym/class can be tough and intimidating, but at TMMA, they are very welcoming and encouraging! They motivate you to keep going and check in to see how you are doing along the way. It's a family owned business and they treat you like part of the family. You'll definitely get stronger and laugh along the way.”

“Master Chris (Coach Chris) is awesome with kids! Couldn't ask for a better kids' martial arts instructor!”

“I had a wonderful experience at this office. From the front desk, the nurse, the anesthesiology team and Dr. Keene. Everyone deserves this kind of care from a doctors office. Maddie, Dr. Keene’s nurse, is kind and responsive. Dr. Keene is kind and caring while also very knowledgeable. She creates a partnership with you and gives you all the information you need so together you can make the best decisions for yourself. This practice is truly amazing! THANK YOU!”

“I absolutely love PFA and so do my kids! My daughter was super shy when we first started I believe 3 years ago now and she is so much more confident and sassy, but that comes with cheer! Highly recommend for any parent looking to get their kids in cheer or tumble! Even my son is on a team!!!”

“Very nice surroundings. We went to hear a music concert. There was a great tent set up. Many food vendors. No problem parking. Fun carnival. Seemed like a lot of security.”

“After moving and trying several different places, I can honestly say that the Libertyville Massage Therapy Clinic is the best on the North Shore! Have used two different massage therapists--both are terrific. It is clean, comfortable, and the staff are pleasant and professional--appointments are available seven days a week and in the evenings; a necessity for those of us who work. The building itself is so well-cared for and tastefully decorated without being ostentatious or glitzy. And the prices are very competitive. I won't go anywhere else.”

“After years of cycling through different therapists and being unable to form a connection with any of them, I developed negative feelings about therapy. Then, after a traumatic experience last summer, I found this practice and met Nikki. I can say with confidence that my meetings with her had changed my life, and not only do I have an endless list of things I love about her, but I can boast about this practice as a whole. It is an extremely comforting and inviting environment, and every staff member I had encountered was a pleasure. While Nikki is the one I credit for significantly bettering my life, Mike, the owner, is an incredible person. His passion and devotion to what he does is clear, and one can tell upon first meeting him that he is the type of person who works in this field solely to help others. They are incredibly accessible whenever you need something, and you will always feel welcome any time you walk through the door. I have nothing but positive things to say about this practice, and I can personally say from experience that if you have had problems with therapy or connections with therapists in the past, it would be worth your while to set up an appointment. It's a shame that the rating system stops at 5 stars, because they deserve 10 at the absolute least.”

“Trinity has worked with my daughter from the age of 2 (6 years now) and from the very start the program has been excellent. They keep it fun and recognize talent so children that want to, can stay challenged. Great staff and coaches!”

“Great place for kids to work on the game.”

“After leaving a park district dojo four years ago, my son started training at Focus. In order to challenge himself more, he joined the competition team and represents Focus at tournaments nationwide. No matter whether your child is in basic karate, special needs, or a member of the competition team, the Focus program is outstanding. Karate lessons are not always about karate. Life lessons include respect for your elders, confidence in yourself, and self-respect. The training you receive will prepare you to become a more responsible adult and a more capable leader.”
