IBJI Health Performance Institute - Highland Park

I can't say enough good things about Kenny Blanchard and the program offerings for group fitness at IBJI. Kenny worked with me closely to tailor a program for me that fit my specific needs and concerns. He responded promptly to all my emails and questions with patience and professionalism. I also love the classes and all the trainers--every one of them are educated and professional. This is old fashioned excellent customer service and beyond!

Absolutely love HPI! The trainers there are amazing! They make the workouts challenging yet do able for anybody. Everybody there is a great motivator and wants nothing but to see their clients succeed. They have a great facility for both personal training and sports performance. You would benefit from coming here weather you are an athlete looking to enhance your performance or if you just want to live a healthier lifestyle. Love them!

I’ve been really happy with the workouts at IBJI. They are both challenging and effective. In three short weeks there, my body fat percentage has decreased and I feel stronger. The workouts vary each time and everything is explained and modeled so you don’t walk in and have to figure out what you’re going to do on your own, as you might in other gyms.

The trainers are all amazing. They are super nice and encouraging. I love that they really watch to make sure you’re using correct form to minimize injury and maximize your workout.

There are clients of various age ranges and abilities so the trainers will modify exercises to challenge you in a different way when necessary. There is NO judgement here. I highly recommend giving it a try!

I have worked out at many facilities and worked with many different trainers in the past 10 years and HPI has some of the best trainers and workouts. Chris, Anna and Kenny care a lot about the people who come there and make sure that you are at your best form throughout the class - challenging everyone there. I did the 6 week challenge and really enjoyed it. They were able to make the workouts challenging for myself and also modify it for others who had physical issues. I like how they keep the ratio of trainers to participants at 6 or less. This is a rarity at any gym. Highly recommend HPI.

I love this place! Jason, Chris, Kenny, Anna, Sam, Jordan, Izzy, and Ben are fantastic trainers. Everyone has their own style but they all worked to help each group help, encourage (aka challenge and cajole), and adapt workouts so that we get the most out of every class. The group sizes are just right and participants are friendly and have a “we’re in this together” attitude. I never thought I’d look forward to working out but I now anticipate class days and love feeling stronger and more fit. Thanks HPI!

This place is amazing. Between the facilities, the trainers, and the positive environment IBJI Health Performance is truly a place to succeed. To me this was much more than the 6 week challenge, this is a place to finally start feeling better and changing up the boring workout routine I developed over the years. The results have been progressively amazing. I’ve lost weight, I finally feel my core muscles working on a daily basis, I have more energy, and most importantly my back doesn’t hurt as much as it used to. The workouts allow you to really push yourself as well. I have been on the program for 10 weeks now and there isn’t a day I have left a work out not drenched in sweat. If you have certain movements that are hard for you the trainers easily adjust the routine for you. You decide how hard you push yourself. There are people that are panting after every exercise (me) and others that go slow and steady. Its your work out and the fact that you are there is all that matters. The best part about all of this for me is that my cardio levels have dramatically increased and my recovery time is noticeably better. My wife and I just spent 9 days hiking in the mountains at elevations of 10,000 plus and for the first time ever I had to wait for her to take the breaks. IBJI Health Performance has been a dream come true. If you are on the fence at all then you need to just do it. You wont have any regrets and you will feel great.

Great trainers. Wonderful workout. Highly recommend. Good for all fitness levels. Trainers modify to fit your injury or fitness needs. 6 week challenge was awesome- nutrition assistance as well as fitness. Lost weight, gained energy- feel motivated to keep training.

This place is terrific! I'd highly recommend IBJI Health Performance Institute to anyone looking to get on the road to a healthier lifestyle. Trainers are knowledgeable in both nutrition coaching and fitness coaching. They help set realistic goals while overseeing every move to avoid injury during workouts. Trainers are positive, workouts are fun, and staff is motivating! I've done many different formats of group exercise, and have never seen results like I've had in the last 5 months at IBJI!

Yea! Last day of my 6 week challenge and I met my goal! 💪💪felling strong and healthy. I highly recommend IBJI Health Performance Institute. The amazing trainers gave me the motivation and kick in the butt I needed to make and see changes. I always felt like I was already a healthy individual yet i still wanted to be more tone a lose a little weight but seemed stuck. The individualized eating plan helped me to see food differently and how it affects my body. The trainers individualized attention during circuit training was amazing and made me feel like I had a personal one on one trainer even in small groups. Highly recommend!!’

I did the 21 day challenge. It was a struggle for me in the beginning, maybe because I'm over 60, but I slowly acclimated to the routine. The diet was a nice guide and wake-up call to eat better. The workouts were tough on my knees but even that got better with time. I'm a big fan of accountability and when you know someone is working with you side by side and can answer questions its a huge help. Ultimately I toned up a little, gained better eating habits, and lost 5 lbs over the 21 days. I'm grateful for their help and guidance. Dave and Anna were terrific.

Amazing team of trainers, even in a group setting that I’m in, they customize the work outs for each individual. With 35 +years of back and hip injuries I have tried various trainers but this is one place that I will continue with. The schedules are online and flexible and you can call in or reschedule any time and there is no need to stress out that you will miss your appointment as there are several groups trainings during the day or days of the week.

I was recovering from a year and a half of pretty intense injuries/surgeries and had just been given clearance to start working out again but was very gun shy. The trainers/couches at IBJI Heath Institute were just what I need! They touched based with me to assess my injury history and then were always checking in on my form and any needed modifications during workouts. They are positive and encouraging and genuinely care that you are achieving your goals. They set the work outs up so it’s a challenge for all fitness levels. While I stuck to the interval training workouts these workouts were varied and they did a great job of targeting all areas of strength training, fitness and agility to get a well-rounded workout. These folks are such an awesome group and I’m so glad I found IBJIHPI! I would recommend them to anyone looking to get back into fitness, needing a jump start, or just looking mix up their routine with new challenges. All around great experience!

I highly recommend the IBJI Health Performance Institute! I started coming here as part of a 28-day Summer Slim Down Challenge and I have really enjoyed everything about the the HPI. The trainers are very good, friendly and helpful with form correction or exercise modifications. The workouts are very good and work every muscle group throughout the Boot Camp classes. I also got a meal plan and lots of encouragement along the way. I have definitely become stronger and can see my body changing in the short time I have been a part of HPI. Thank you HPI!

Just finished the 6 week challenge and highly recommend it! Exceeded all my goals thanks to the awesome coaches and excellent nutrition & workout program. This is the best I’ve felt in years- thanks HPI! If you’re trying to do a serious “reset” and want to be guaranteed a program will work (if you stick to it)- this program is perfect for you!

6-week Challenge was terrific. They address both exercise and nutrition. Never felt hungry, meals were large but well balanced and exercise classes were well developed. The trainers were terrific and focused on each participant's form and effort. Absolutely recommend this program and facility to everyone!

HPI is amazing. I had gone there in previous years, but then moved out of state, once I saw they were doing remote programming I was quick to reach out. They created a custom program for me and kept me accountable. Dave reached out to see how the workouts were going and made adjustments based on my feedback. The variety they include is great from the custom program to online/live stream classes. This was the jumpstart I needed! I would highly recommend Cory, Dave and team to anyone, all ages and fitness levels!

HPI and Trainers have truly impacted my life. I never expected to enjoy working out but every trainer there is truly inspiring and knows your name after meeting you once. Their circuit training classes are challenging but they help you get thru each one and make it easier to work out. I’m 15 pounds thinner and feel better mentally not just physically and look forward to workouts!

Before joining IBJI HPI, I exercised on my own lifting weights and doing cardio. After a while, my workouts felt stale, I was suffering from back and neck pain, and I knew I needed to make a change. A friend suggested I try one of HPI’s 6 Week Challenges, and so 10 months ago, I decided to give HPI a go and had amazing results. The Bootcamps are fun and challenging; the trainers teach proper form while also addressing individual needs in a group setting. Besides the challenging workouts, HPI has an incredible community of trainers and members in which everyone encourages and supports one another. You will not find a better place to work towards your physical goals with nutritional support and coaching. Today, my workouts always feel fresh, as the trainers never do the same workouts twice, and since I now know how to do specific exercises with proper form, my back and neck pain has diminished. I highly recommend IBJI HPI; you will not be disappointed!

In December 2017, I had ankle fusion surgery. I was rehabbing at IBJI, when I met Cory from HPI. He talked me into trying the HPI 6 week challenge, and I have never looked back. I have been utilizing HPI's training program for 14+ months and I am working out 4-5 times a week. Every time I leave dripping in sweat, after an amazing workout. The trainers are all super supportive, and encouraging. The workouts keep you striving to get better. The trainers, and the community of people working out make this is a great place to achieve your fitness goals. It has impacted my health dramatically. I have also seen many of the folks that join HPI make dramatic transformations. I highly reccomend giving it a try!

The 21 day challenge with IBJ was really helpful! The trainers were wonderful, and the remote workouts were surprisingly rigorous for someone who's never worked out outside a gym. IBJ makes sure to provide a variety of kinds of workouts in various formats (self led or live in groups), and having accountability to a trainer makes it easier to stick to a diet and exercise plan.
I would recommend this program, especially for people working/isolated at home!
