If you’ve found our site from Gilt Chicago, welcome to Hard Pressed! Whether or not you’ve worked out with a Personal Trainer, check out this short list we’ve put together to illustrate what we do, how we do it, why we do it the way we do, and what you can expect when you come in to train.

• Hard Pressed’s “Magic”
• Rules of the Gym
• What we aren’t
• Why you should be lifting weights
• A typical workout (Take note of the quality of each rep.)
• A nifty slideshow.
• Some testimonials. Also, our Yelp! page.

What we do at Hard Pressed is fairly simple: Progressively overload your muscles in the safest way possible, and do it in the most efficient way possible. Make sure you train your whole body (Neck and Grip training!), and get on with your day. Every thing we do is 30 minutes, and yes we have a client list full of folks who didn’t believe that possible when they first came in.

Give us 30 minutes and we’ll show you how we do it. (You’ll understand by minute #5.)

That’s why our equipment – as well as Dan, Ron, Chad, and Nik – is Hard Pressed’s competitive advantage. We have enough tools and toys to train every client hard regardless of age, previous injuries, or mobility issues. And if you’re a “normal,” healthy adult, we’ve definitely got you covered.

After you’ve purchased the Gilt deal, either give us a call @ 312-285-3385 or use our online scheduling system to schedule your first “Gilt Session.” Please schedule 1 session at a time. Moreover, the Gilt City deal cannot be combined with any other offer.

When you come in for you first session, please try to arrive 5-10 minutes early so that you can change and fill out our Liability Waiver before you meet with your trainer. Because we need to discuss with each new client health history, injuries, goals, etc., expect to spend ~20 minutes of your first session actually training. Beyond that, expect to be working your butt off for 30 minutes every time you come in to Hard Pressed.

The fine print:

• 4 Workout Gilt Vouchers must be completed in 30 days from your first appointment. 
• 8 Workout Vouchers must be completed in 60 days. 
• We do not combine special offers. 
• You may only schedule 1 Workout at a time. 
• Valid for new clients only. 
• One voucher per customer. 

If you have any other questions, please email us at getstrong@hardpressed.me or give us a buzz at 312-285-3385.
