"Fitness Mojo is the comparative index in which all other training facilities strive to be and become. As a client for more than three years, I have achieved more than physical fitness, I have achieved a change in lifestyle. Erik Johnson has created a culture that is the catalyst to reach the level of success that I never knew I could achieve. In addition his team of trainers is first in class and exemplifies a combination of physical, psychological and emotional support that is necessary to overcome the individual challenges that are unique to every client. I have enjoyed every moment and I strongly encourage those who want a holistic, professional approach that truly works to choose Fitness Mojo"Catherine J. Nettles-32 -Sales Lost 2.44 inches and 5 pounds
"Before implementing a regular exercise program, I was probably 2 steps away from heart disease. Thanks to Fitness Mojo, I no longer have consistent high blood pressure. In the past, when I caught the "office cold or flu", I was down for 7-10 days. I would suffer from colds almost every 3 months. Once I started a regular routine at Mojo, it is now rare if I have a cold more than 2 days- and I think at this point I rarely catch colds! Thanks to Mojo I am probably saving hundreds of dollars in doctor visits, medications, and etc. In addition to the massive health benefits, I have dropped 2 sizes and can wear cloths that I boxed up and stored back in 1999. I guess instead of party like its 1999, I'm dressing like its 1999.Kathleen Grigas - 38- Network Admin Lost 3.06 inches and decreased body fat percentage by 5.8%
"Fitness Mojo has become a natural way to relieve stress from work and every day life. They have taught me how to regulate my diet so I can control my weight and feel great! They will try many different ways to help me overcome physical challenges. They always find a way to help me improve physically or nutritionally.I am addicted to Fitness Mojo! I get very stressed out when I miss a session or 2, or when I am out of town... They have even provided me with workouts to do on my own when I travel.
Best of all, the trainers have created an atmosphere of trust and friendship. I always feel they have my best interest at heart. They are always positive and upbeat. I always leave Fitness Mojo in a better mood than when I arrived...
What started as a 1 year plan to get into shape, has turned into 3 years of continuously enjoyable positive habit.
Thanks guys!"

"I consider my time spent at Mojo to be worth far more than I pay for it. I came to Mojo about six months ago with the twin goals of losing weight and improving my body to survive a physically rigorous career. I am no stranger to working out, but it wasn't a priority in my life for years. The entire staff at Mojo provides three things most helpful to me in meeting my goals: Endless knowledge, easily shared, superb encouragement and refusal to let me lose sight of why I am here.I am proud of the changes in my body; I have worked hard for them. My day to day work is easier and I am buying smaller cloths for the first time in five years. With the Mojo's help, I have accomplished in six months what I might never have done on my own. It's an ongoing process and except for the painful calf rolling I look forward to the rest.
Thanks for helping me resurrect for my body and aiding me in finding the drive to improve it."

"I served 12-months in Iraq with the US Army from June 2005 - June 2006. Early in the deployment, I found myself jumping out of a moving vehicle to escape an explosive situation. I sustained an injury / hyper-extension to my knee as a result and went through the remaining 10-months favoring one leg over the other. The pain was tolerable but the damage I was doing to the rest of my body was slowly handicapping me further and further. When I returned home I could not load my left leg with confidence or without pain. I had difficulty going up and down stairs like a normal person and I couldn't run without developing lower back pain. The Veterans Administration (VA) provided potential solutions, but due to proximity, timeliness, and appointment availability, the VA was not a convenient option. My wife recommended that I give the staff at Mojo a try as she was already a client here at Mojo.My experience here has thus far exceeded every expectation. I have 100% dexterity and I am pain free. The professional training regimen and staff have taught me much more then the benefits of a "good work out". I have relearned how to walk, the mechanics of my movement, the benefits of proper nutrition and stretching "rolling", and an increase in strength and stamina (which my wife likes) while adhering to these basic tenets taught at Mojo. Over the last few months and as a result of my progress, I have been able to carry and swing my 2 1⁄2 year old daughter pain free. To me, that's what's important and all that matters - everything else is negotiable!"

"I have learned the importance of overall good health: eating healthy does not eating as if a vegetarian; water consumption and caffeine control are significant; and balance of cardio and strength training is crucial. It's not just about moderation in exercising and diet: it's about WHAT you do and HOW MUCH. Most importantly, it's great to have a team supporting you for your own betterment, as if your success is their success, from staff to trainers to owners."Jen Cohen -33 -Paralegal Lost 2.51 inches and was able to lower medication
"I started coming to Fitness Mojo in February 2005. From the start I found the staff at Fitness Mojo highly motivating and knowledgeable. The trainers and the front desk staff always make themselves available for questions and ALWAYS give words of encouragement. As I trained with Fitness Mojo, I watched my body change in ways I didn't know were possible. I gained muscles, lost body fat and most importantly, I gained knowledge about my body and nutrition.Due to unforeseeable circumstances and the fact that I thought that I could do it myself, I left Fitness Mojo in December 2005. I stopped working out and I gained a considerable amount of weight. It really got me down. I no longer felt motivated to workout on my own. So in September of 2006, I tried a different trainer through a popular gym in the city. Not only was this trainer uninspiring, but he lacked the knowledge of training. My form was off and I knew. I questioned him and I was told who cares, keep going, it isn't important. After and hour of this, I left crying and felt I would never get back on track. That trainer had succeeded in making me feel worthless and unmotivated. The next day I called Fitness Mojo and set up an appointment to start training with them again. You see, Fitness Mojo doesn't just tell you "who cares, keep going." They fix your form so that you don't get hurt. In my opinion, Fitness Mojo is worth every penny. Since September 2006, I have lost 2 clothing sizes and feel great!"

"Not having been a person who could stick to a regular workout regime on my own, the Fitness Mojo model has landed me in the best shape of my life. My overall wellness, structure, posture, and muscle tone has markedly changed. People who haven't seen me in a while frequently make note of it. And with a hectic and ever-changing schedule, the brief but powerful sessions really work - and the trainers don't make me feel guilty for the times I miss sessions, but are just happy to see me when I return. Sounds silly but is an important thing. I am really grateful to have found Fitness Mojo and would recommend it to anyone."Victoria Ricks-31 -Sales
"Fitness Mojo is teaching me to exercise correctly and regularly. In addition, I've learned the importance and basics of following a healthier diet, which is surprisingly easier than I thought. The trainers are very motivating, and I've found that individuals in my training groups have not only become a source of support, but also friends I now spend time with outside of my training sessions."Julie Hutmacher-32 -Equipment Manager- G.E. Rail Lost 14.94 inches and decreased body fat percentage by 8.3%
"So very pleased with the staff: trainers and behind the desk. Hang on to them- they are your business and your future!"Ruth Ross-62 -Director Clinical Trials. Research Lost 19.26 inches and decreased body fat percentage by 2.4%
"I've been extremely happy with my Fitness Mojo experience. My original goal when I started was to gain some muscle and lose some weight. I gave myself one year to try it out, not knowing what to expect. Over 2 years later, I am still training 3 times a week. I've lost some weight and I've built up my strength, but the best benefit for me was learning how to live an overall healthier lifestyle. Besides the physical training, Fitness Mojo has taught me how to make healthier choices in my eating (and drinking) habits, while not giving up my favorites.The Mojo training staff is top notch. There is a definite connection between trainer and trainee. They want the best for their clients and it shows. They motivate and challenge each of us to do our best and achieve our personal goals. I like that there is a trained staff that creates the workout routine and monitors my progress. On my own, I don't think I would try half as hard as I do when someone is watching and encouraging me. I enjoy the group workouts, with the built in support and camaraderie of other clients. If this wasn't fun, I wouldn't keep with it. I didn't expect to be a client these 2 years, but as long as I am enjoying myself and maintaining my results, this is what works for me.
Thanks to Fitness Mojo, I believe I am in the best shape of my adult life. That makes me feel good - and keeps me coming back."

"I have been with Fitness Mojo for over a year now and this is what I've learned: When I work hard and work with the team, the difference it makes in my life in terms of feeling fit, losing inches, and being comfortable in my own skin are astounding. For those times where I've missed an opportunity to attend or not given it my all, the team has rallied behind me and the encouragement doesn't stop just because I stopped attending as frequently.
Instead of criticizing me for my lack of attendance or making me feel bad for my occasional lapses in lifestyle choices, everyone at Fitness Mojo continues to believe in me and all that I can accomplish still.
Thanks, Fitness Mojo, for being supportive yet demanding more of me, for sharing my triumphs as well as commiserating my setbacks, and lastly - thanks for training me to become a better me while still accepting who I am."

"The Mojo trainers are fantastic! I've been working out for years, but I've been doing it all wrong. They teach you the right technique, to get the results you want, in 30 minutes. That leaves me with a lot more free time!"Anna Janowski-30 -Marketing Lost 4.88 inches
"Fitness Mojo has made me more aware of how my body works. The trained staff is very knowledgeable about fitness & nutrition. They make it fun to work out and they push your body to work its hardest."Julie Brodsky-29 -Assistant Director Lost 5.25 inches and decreased body fat percentage by 2.4%
"Fitness Mojo has had a tremendous impact on my life. For the first time, I have been comfortable with myself. Feeling better about yourself affects your mind, body, and soul. I am more confident in virtually and endeavor I tackle, not just professionally but personally.As a guy who was always just "OK" in sports, I did not have a lot of confidence going to a crowded gym and lifting weights with all the muscle heads, many which seem, to know what they are doing. When visiting gyms when on the road, I see all those muscle heads doing things wrong!
It's motivated me to compete with, and challenge myself every time I work out, trying to do more, better then the time before.
A lack of time is simply an excuse. Who doesn't have 30 minutes to work out?!?
Todd Seyl-39 -Mtg. Banker Lost 6.98 inches and decreased body fat percentage by 4%
"The fact that I have consistently experienced progress, mentally and physically has kept me committed to my weight loss and fitness goals. I have worked with personal trainers at other facilities and comparatively, Mojo is entirely different. The trainers here are really talented and knowledgeable and have made it possible for me to learn correct form so that I can train without injury, even though I've had debilitating lower back pain in the past."Julie Kosowski- 39 - Stay at Home Mom Lost 10.91 inches and decreased body fat percentage by 7.2%
"Fitness Mojo is the most successful exercise program I have ever participated in. The trainers and staff at the gym are friendly, energetic and really care about their clients. After attending training sessions for approximately 1 1⁄2 years, approximately 3 days a week, I look forward to my sessions even after a long hard day at work. Working with a team and a trainer makes the experience a lot of fun. I learn something new about myself every session and am lifting weights and doing movements that I never dreamed I would be able to do. The camaraderie between teammates and the endless support of the trainers is the perfect combination for fitness and fun. The program is results oriented and I have really seen results. I have lost weight and inches as well as gained muscle. I feel stronger and every day tasks that used to be difficult are easy now. Because of the encouragement of the people at Fitness Mojo, I have become a person who loves to workout! The staff and clients are like family now and I am so grateful to have found this fitness club. The price is right and you will see results."Colleen Stone- 38 - Urban Planner Lost 28.08 inches and 23 pounds
"I started working out at Fitness Mojo in July 2006. While I could be doing more on my own to improve results, I have been more than satisfied with the outcome so far. I've never been motivated to work out but now I am. Knowing that I am coming to a "gym" where the trainers are excited about what they do as well as the clients is refreshing. Even at 6:30am, I don't mind coming in. I commend Fitness Mojo on a job well done!"Tara Murley-29 -Office Manager Lost 23.62 inches and 18 pounds

"A year and a half ago I came to Mojo feeling tired, overweight and old. I knew I needed a change. After committing to a 3 day a week intensive 30-minute workout, along with adding cardio and healthy eating, I began to see a difference. With the support of the fun and enthusiastic staff at Mojo, I have gone from 33% body fat to 20% body fat. Now I feel more energetic, confident and stronger than ever before!"Kate Hutmacher -28 - Teacher Lost 25.06 inches and decreased body fat percentage by 7.4%
"The key accomplishment for me over the past 2 years at Fitness Mojo is gaining strength. I have never been significantly over weight, but until I began to exercise consistently at Fitness Mojo I lost weight and developed upper body strength that surprises me daily. I remember not being able to do 1 "guy" push up and today, for example, I did 10! I have learned so much about different exercises and weights, about my body, its weaknesses, and have become receptive to doing what it takes in my Fitness Mojo sessions to keep improving. I am aware that fitness is a life commitment if you want to stay healthy. Contact me in 20 years... I will be at the gym!"Arlene Cohen-52 -Administrator Lost 9.01 inches
"Since I started working out a Mojo I've noticed significant changes in my lifestyle and body. I feel better physically and mentally. I have more energy & I look better in the mirror! Overall Mojo has been a tremendous help for me. I would recommend it to everyone."Rodrigo Muller- 26- Web Designer Decreased body fat percentage by 7.6% and lost 8.64 inches
"Since I started working out at Fitness Mojo I actually look forward to going to the gym. These past six months I have really enjoyed the group training sessions. For me training in a group keeps me motivated and makes myself push to the next level.I have seen physical changes including weight loss, loss of inches, and improvement in my posture. I would recommend Fitness Mojo to all of my friends!"

"I have enjoyed the challenge to re-think how I move, stand, and lift. Physically I'm challenged and relearning how and why my body works. It has been terrific!"
Daniel Cohen- 41 -Teacher Decreased body fat percentage by 2.2%
"I could be the spokeswoman for Fitness Mojo! I trained, I left, and I came back! I thought I could do it on my own... at my own gym, and get the same results... I was sorely mistaken (and not in the "I had a great workout' way). The three most important things you can't find anywhere else: Trainers, Comradery, and Results. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable. They push you to work to your full capacity to get results you want, but not to where you will injure yourself. And, they are always energetic and happy to see you- they make it an enjoyable and fun experience. The comradery of working out in a group is unbeatable. This might detour some, but if you think about it, it actually makes you work harder knowing that the others in your group are going through the same thing you are. Last, but not least, are the results I've achieved. The exercise program here is unlike anywhere else. I am doing exercises I would never do on my own, and lifting weight I never thought I could. And since you have a set workout schedule, you make sure to keep your appointment! I have toned up, lost body fat and gained lean muscle and energy. I can go on and on with my praises, but you really need to see for yourself. Thanks everyone"Jennie Tatooles-30 - Account Executive Sales Lost 7.24 inches and decreased body fat percentage by 4.8%
"I decided to start working out at Fitness Mojo after I hurt my knee trail running. I was getting bored at the gym and didn't know exactly what I should be doing, since I didn't want to run anymore. Joining Fitness Mojo was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I never really liked lifting weights before because I didn't know what I was doing and I never seemed to make any progress. The trainers at Mojo push me so much harder than I would ever push myself, and that's what makes it so effective... and so fun! I love to see the progress I'm making and I like to push myself to do heavier weight.Since I've been working out at Mojo, I've learned so much about the way my body works. I've learned the proper form for lifting so I get more out of every workout, whether on my own or at Mojo. I now know what to do when certain muscles are sore or tight. It seems like I learn something new every session! I'm stronger than I've ever been, I feel great, and I love working out now. And while my progress may not be as drastic as some, I'm still please with it- last summer, I wore a bikini for the first time in 18 years! As long as I live in Chicago , I'll be a Fitness Mojo client."

"As I age, I've learned that the rules for staying in shape have changed and what worked for me in my 30's doesn't apply any more.
