Community Feedback

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Above Strength & Fitness — Homer Glen Above Strength & Fitness is hands down the best gym experience I’ve ever had, and it’s not even close. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place is built differently. This isn’t some overcrowded, corporate gym full of broken machines, people sitting on their phones, and zero accountability. This is a serious training facility designed for people who actually want results—physically and mentally. The atmosphere is unreal. The energy, the focus, the discipline—it pushes you to show up better every single session. Whether you’re lifting heavy, rehabbing an injury, improving athletic performance, or just trying to become the strongest version of yourself, this gym meets you where you’re at and elevates you. The coaches are next level. Extremely knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in your progress. They don’t just tell you what to do—they explain why, correct your form, track your progress, and actually care about long-term results. You’re not just another membership here—you’re treated like an athlete. The equipment is top tier. Everything you need, nothing you don’t. Clean, well-maintained, and laid out intelligently so you can train efficiently without chaos. It’s obvious the owners take pride in the space and continuously reinvest into making it better. What really separates Above Strength & Fitness, though, is the culture. Everyone here is locked in. No egos, no nonsense—just people working hard and pushing each other to improve. It’s the kind of environment that forces growth, discipline, and consistency. You leave every workout feeling accomplished. If you’re tired of average gyms and want a place that actually holds you to a higher standard, this is it. Above Strength & Fitness isn’t just a gym—it’s a training ground for becoming stronger in every sense of the word. Highly recommend to anyone in Homer Glen or the surrounding area who’s serious about training. This place sets the bar. 💪🔥"
