LevelUp Health & Fitness

Level Up is my favorite place! Kristi and the instructors have built such a supportive community of women. There hasn’t been a class I didn’t like! The dance classes have always been my favorite but then I tried the strength classes, Turbo Kick etc. and I was hooked! They also have a virtual option when you are not able to workout in person and tons of opportunities to connect outside of class. Highly recommend!

Kristi and the other instructors at Level up are excellent. I have been challenged to get stronger and more fit while having so much fun. The classes fly by! The gym is clean, friendly and comfortable with so many different classes to choose from. The location is convenient with lots of parking. Everyone I’ve met is so welcoming.

Best place to work out in Niles with an amazing variety of classes & knowledgeable Instructors. Super clean & welcoming… you find a real FIT FAM here!

Level Up Fitness is the absolute BEST for so many reasons…
•a community of welcoming group of friendly gals of ALL ability levels and ages, the BEST!

Kristi, owner and phenomenal instructor, has created a fitness studio that encourages all women to “Level Up” to the best version of themselves, whatever fitness level you are at.
Since joining in January of 2023, Level Up has 100% become my daily “happy place”- a place of physical challenge and genuine comradery with fantastic women. If you’re looking for an all female facility with amazing group classes led by top-notch instructors in a supportive environment, LEVEL UP is it! Come in for a class, and you’ll be hooked💪🙌❤

LevelUp Fitness is hands down THE place to be for an incredible workout experience! Their classes are tailored for everyone, regardless of your fitness level. What hooked me was the amazing 'Try 3' deal - it's like a fitness adventure where you get to explore different classes and styles. This studio has become my go-to spot for my fitness journey. Trust me, you won't regret leveling up your fitness game with LevelUp!

Level up has been my place since it opened! This all women’s club is so welcoming and we are a community of friends. The instructors are amazing and they really care about your progress! I have never felt more at home at a workout place and look forward to every class!

In a word, AMAZING!! When my yoga studio was suddenly closing I was completely devastated and never thought I could find a replacement. I can’t even begin to tell you how wrong I was! Level Up is more than I could’ve ever of hoped. With the variety of classes and amazing instructors, Level Up has brought my workout routine to the next level and the results have been more than noticeable.

I’ve been a member at level up for years. I have worked out at other bootcamp/hiit style clubs and I love Level Up! The instructors are all so motivating and all classes accommodate all fitness levels. Any injures and you can modify. All the members are amazing and it’s a true sense of a workout family. If you try a class you will be hooked. So much variety….bootcamp, hiit, dance, strength, and yoga.

My journey with Kristi and her [NOW] business – LevelUp Health and Fitness started about a year ago.

As with everyone, Covid forced us all to stay home, lock down with no gyms, fitness centers or girlfriend support. I came across Kristi as she was attached to an organization offering free online classes during Covid – Spring 2020. I immediately clicked with Kristi because of her style of fitness, her genuine smile that shone through the screen and her immensely positive attitude. With Covid, I found that exercise was my escape and helped with my sanity. Kristi not only offered free classes on her own, she also helped virtually by inspiring us about eating habits, sleep solutions and stress management through her classes and own social media presence.

Kristi established her own virtual/online community during Covid. Kristi brought woman together who needed soul sister support and an outlet for stress. In March 2021, Kristi has opened her own business: LevelUp Health & Fitness. LevelUp Health & Fitness offers virtual and in person classes, has accountability meetings, and the business has an active Instagram and Facebook page allowing members to connect outside of the classes. Her community is much larger than a building and much further reaching than Niles, Illinois.

As mentioned, Kristi has in incredible positive attitude, amazing encouragement of all woman and genuinely believes in the person. She has hired awesome instructors teaching a variety of classes at all levels.

Kristi and LevelUp Fitness will change many woman’s lives, and I am proud to be part of that journey.

Great studio that has it all!! Friendly members who support and empower one another and great instructors and so many different classes to choose from. Strength, dance, Barr, yoga and more!! Best part of my day.

Great classes! Gave me the motivation to get up at 5 am and workout. Members are very welcoming and made new friends. Come and check it out.

I recently took the boot camp class with Kristi and can’t wait to go back. The studio is very welcoming and members are so friendly and encouraging. You can tell Kristi really loves her job. She was so personable and kept checking to make sure I was doing ok since it was my first time. She made the work out challenging but fun at the same time. So much more motivating than a boring gym.

I started group fitness classes 8 years ago, & have been a member of many different gyms/studios in the past. LU is the first place I’ve seen the most physically and mentally positive results in myself.

LU’s certified instructors make their variety of classes engaging and fun! They also emphasize the importance of supplementing workouts with proper nutrition by actually offering a weekly accountability meeting to help us effectively stay on track with our health goals.

Both the instructors and the women taking classes are always super uplifting, and have encouraged me to push myself to the next level (level up!!) many times.

LU is super spacious and clean, which makes for the perfect atmosphere to focus on yourself, and get to work! Highly recommend LU for anyone who’s just getting started or who is looking to find their new happy place!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kristi and Level Up. I have worked out at a number of different places and following the pandemic was trying to find my “home.” Thanks to LU I have the ability to stream from home with great audio and visual or take classes in person when my schedule permits. I’ve never felt stronger physically or mentally. I am incredibly grateful to have a place like LU in our community!

I highly recommend!
LevelUp is great. Such an amazing environment to get active and healthy. There are so many options for classes. The instructors are all motivating. Must try, you’ll be hooked on a new healthy habit.

I love LevelUp! It’s a friendly and fun atmosphere and the owner, Kristi, is super welcoming. There’s so much variety in their class selection at various times of the day. They pack a lot into a short period of time, it goes by in a flash, and I’m working out muscles I never knew I had! Body Blast is my favorite class and a HIIT-lovers dream. And best part…an effective ab workout without a single crunch!

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE this place! There is a good and welcoming vibe as soon as you step through the front door of this bright and airy studio. I took Kristi's Monday night Boot Camp class and it was exactly what I needed to get me back in the groove of a new workout routine. Summer is right around the corner! Kristi weaves together the perfect combination of exercises to target all your muscles. She provides the right balance of variety and repetition to keep you fully focused and engaged. Kristi's cues are easy to follow and she offers modifications, which I love, because each of us needs to listen to our own bodies. She helped push me to my limit in a very fun, motivating way. And she is adorable!
I can't wait to try all the other classes available at LevelUp. What a Blessing to have this great, new spot in our neighborhood! It is an honor to support a woman-owned business that focuses on empowering other women. Thank you, Kristi!
Sincerely,
Maureen Valentine

I signed up to be a member before Kristi opened her doors because I believed in her and the environment she would create. This is a judgement free studio, open to women of all shapes and sizes. When gyms and studios closed during the pandemic, I stopped working out. LevelUp has given me the excitement back to workout. The instructors are all AMAZING, and they will always push you. Their education in fitness does not go unnoticed. Take a class because you won’t regret it!

Great variety of classes with awesome energy. Knowledgeable instructors who make class fun. So glad this is close to my home!

I never thought I’d be so connected to a fitness center that a. is just for women b. a storefront c. is purely classes. Before I joined LU, I typically sporadically went to gym or exercised outside. My workout schedule was a bit lonely, and I never realized this until I found LevelUp. In addition to having AMAZING instructors and classes, it is more than just a building and warm welcoming space. It’s a wonderful community of women supporting each other of all ages and fitness levels. As soon as you walk in the doors, you feel the sense of community, commitment, and energy. Kristi works hard at making this not just a fitness center by her various member challenges, accountability meetings, many events and welcoming every person who walks in the door (as do all the instructors). Thank you for helping me realize something very special I was lacking in my life especially during these difficult times of Covid!
