The TRAIN Moment Difference
At TRAIN Moment, we built a results-driven program that blends intelligent strength training, focused conditioning, and supportive coaching—so you lose fat, build lean muscle, and feel stronger in everyday life. Our sessions are led by experienced coaches who learn your goals, watch your form, and progress your plan week to week. You’ll never feel lost on the floor; you’ll know exactly what to do, how hard to push, and why it matters for your results.
Our facilities are welcoming, modern, and efficient. From check-in to cooldown, every minute of your visit is designed to maximize impact and minimize friction. Whether you’re new to training or returning after time away, we scale each movement to your level. We keep classes energetic yet purposeful, balancing encouragement with accountability. If you’re searching for weight loss training Chicago residents rely on, this is where structure meets momentum.
Strength + Conditioning, Programmed for Fat Loss
Lasting fat loss demands more than random workouts. Our programming cycles through strength blocks, progressive overload, and interval conditioning to elevate your metabolism and preserve muscle, the engine of your calorie burn. Expect compound lifts (like squats, hinges, presses, and pulls) paired with targeted accessories that shape and fortify your body. Conditioning intervals are measured and intentional, pushing you to an effective threshold without sacrificing form.
We track key training variables and coach you to small, repeatable wins: an extra rep, a tighter tempo, a cleaner range of motion. Those wins compound into measurable changes in body composition. You’ll notice stronger lifts, better posture, and more energy outside the gym, climbing stairs, carrying groceries, and handling long days with less fatigue. For members focused on weight loss training in Chicago, our model blends athletic training with real-world deliverables.
Coaching, Community, and Nutrition Support
Training is only part of the story. Our coaches help you navigate recovery, sleep, stress management, and nutrition, the levers that accelerate fat loss and keep it sustainable. We offer practical guidance, not fads: adequate protein, balanced plates, smart pre- and post-workout choices, and weekly check-ins to keep you honest without being rigid. You’ll learn how to fuel hard sessions and still enjoy your life, work dinners, weekends, and everything in between.
Community matters, too. The room’s energy keeps you moving, the coach’s cues keep you safe, and the group’s momentum keeps you consistent. You’ll train alongside people who share your goals and celebrate your wins, whether that’s a first unassisted push-up or a new deadlift PR. Consistency beats intensity when it comes to fat loss, and our environment is built to make showing up the easiest decision of your day.
Getting Started with TRAIN Moment
Your journey starts with a simple on-ramp: a quick consult to map your goals, an intro to our training format, and a first session to establish baselines. From there, we’ll guide you into a rhythm that fits your life—three to five sessions per week for most members, with clear recovery recommendations between days. We’ll check form, dial in pacing, and adjust movements to honor your history and any limitations. The result is a plan you can stick with, because it’s made for you.
We’re proud to serve Chicago neighborhoods like the West Loop, River North, and Lincoln Park, and we welcome commuters from across the city. If your goal is to reduce body fat, improve cardio health, and build the kind of strength that shows up in the mirror and in your day, TRAIN Moment is ready when you are. Explore our schedule, book your first class, and see why weight loss training Chicago clients choose us for intelligent programming, genuine coaching, and results that last.
Why TRAIN Moment Works
We don’t leave your progress to chance. Our approach builds capacity in phases—so you see tangible improvements each month without hitting plateaus. Strength blocks increase your ability to do work; conditioning improves how efficiently you can do it; coaching and recovery make that work repeatable. Over time, that means more volume at better quality, and more calories burned without grinding yourself into the ground.
Just as important, we help you transition from “dieting” to living. You’ll learn how to manage macros without obsessing, structure meals around training, and use weekends strategically. We’ll talk travel workouts, restaurant playbooks, and how to bounce back after detours. By pairing education with execution, we remove the guesswork and keep momentum high. Ready to begin? Book your session today at TRAIN Moment and experience weight loss training Chicago—done the smart way, built to last.
Celebrate process, not just performance: Define strength benchmarks (e.g., complete your first unassisted pull-up, increase your deadlift by X kg, jump height by Y cm) and track them. Each achievement reinforces that strength training isn’t a side hustle; it’s part of your dance journey.
Adjust for performance periods: During show runs or tour weeks, reduce strength volume and focus on mobility, activation, and light maintenance to avoid burnout. Then ramp back up when off-season or between productions.
By weaving strength training for dancers into your rhythm, not treating it as an addition but as an integral pillar of your artistry, you’ll find yourself more powerful, more resilient, and more confident each time you hit the studio or stage.
Do you offer a free first session?
No, we do not offer a free first session. Instead, we have our 2 Week Unlimited Trial, which allows you to fully experience what it’s like to TRAIN at TRAIN Moment.
What should I expect for my first session?
FIRST OFF, PLAN TO ARRIVE 10-15 MINUTES EARLY FOR YOUR FIRST SESSION. YOU WILL NOT ABLE TO TAKE THE SESSION IF YOU ARRIVE LESS THAN 6 MINUTES BEFORE SESSION START.
In your first session, you can expect a supportive training environment, including a welcoming Community + a Coach who will help you step out of your COMFORT ZONES —safely! While we are a group fitness program, your Coach will provide personalized form + weight suggestions, similar to what you'd receive from a personal trainer.
In Strength Zones, we prioritize controlled, quality movements over speed or high-volume sets, ensuring that you use weights that properly challenge your muscles. Remember: "Slow is Smooth, and Smooth is Fast!" The only exception is on our conditioning focused days (Tuesdays + Thursdays), where we do encourage more rounds, but never at the expense of quality movement or form.

I’m a beginner or just getting back into exercise. Can I still join a session? What are the best days for me to try?
Absolutely! We pride ourselves on fostering a supportive Community of clients and Coaches. Everyone leaves their ego at the door, and we encourage you to give what you can each day—without any judgments. Many newcomers often say, "I’ve been so intimidated to come in, but everyone was so nice and supportive. The session was challenging, but I was able to do it!"
All sessions + exercises can be modified to suit your fitness level. If you're concerned about "keeping up," we recommend trying one of our self-paced days for your first visit. Great options include TM LIFT (Mondays + Wednesdays), Flex Fridays and Single-Sided Saturdays. We can't wait to welcome you!
I have a limitation or restriction when it comes to training. Can I still join a session?
Absolutely! We welcome clients with varying abilities + those with pre-existing injuries. Our focus on attention to detail, proper form, and personalized options, combined with our low-impact training style, ensures that a diverse range of individuals can train safely + effectively with us. Your well-being is our priority, and we're here to support you on your wellness journey!
How is your programming structured?
At TRAIN Moment, we focus on full-body training during each session, as this approach maximizes results + allows clients to train multiple days in a row effectively.
Our programming is organized into 4-week blocks, providing a cohesive + well-rounded experience. Each block consists of 2 bi-weekly programs, enabling clients to track their progress + gradually increase weights, reps, and sets from week to week.
Each TM Day of the Week features proven strength training methods. Our schedule includes detailed descriptions for each TM Day of the Week:
TM LIFT Mondays (Strength-Focused) (Barbell training optional)
Two-Minute Tuesdays (Conditioning-Focused)
TM LIFT Wednesdays (Strength-Focused) (Barbell training optional)
E.M.O.M or A.M.R.A.P Thursdays (Conditioning-Focused)
Flex Fridays (Strength-Focused)
Single-Sided Saturdays (Strength-Focused)
Level Up Sundays (Strength + Endurance Focused)
This structure ensures that you receive a comprehensive and varied training experience throughout the month!
What is a Versaclimber?!
The VersaClimber , used in our Conditioning Zone (also known as The Climber), is an incredible, zero-impact, full-body climbing machine that requires minimal skill but demands maximum effort!
We love (and sometimes hate) The Climber for its natural, zero-impact movement, which allows us to train hard safely + efficiently. This means you can get an effective workout in a shorter time, leaving more opportunities to focus on our two Strength Zones: The Rig and The Bench.
Learn more about all 3 of our Training Zones and how our sessions are structured here.
Will I be charged after my 2 week trial ends?
No, you will not be charged after your trial. The trial is a one-time, non-recurring charge. Once your trial concludes, you’ll need to purchase a membership or package to continue your fitness journey with us and keep those gains going!
Do your memberships have commitment? How can I learn more about your memberships?
All monthly memberships auto-renew. We have no-Commitment options or you can save 15% with an 8-Billing Cycle Commitment. Learn more details on our memberships + how to manage them here.

What are your scheduling & arrival policies?
To best serve all clients and support our team, we kindly ask that you adhere to our scheduling & arrival policies below. Thank you for your understanding and respect for everyone’s time!
Late Cancel/Reschedule Policy: Reservations canceled or rescheduled less than 8 hours before the session will be considered a Late Cancel, resulting in the loss of the credit used for that reservation. For Unlimited Training Options (including Unlimited Trial Offers and Level Up members), a location-specific Late Cancel Fee will apply instead of credit loss.
No Show Policy: If you do not attend your scheduled session and fail to cancel via your account (or arrive more than 5 minutes past your session time), you will lose the credit for that session and incur a location-specific No-Show Fee.
First Session Arrival Policy: YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE THE SESSION IF YOU ARRIVE LESS THAN 6 MINUTES BEFORE YOUR SESSION START TIME. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early for your first session.
RETURNING CLIENT ARRIVAL POLICY: YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE THE SESSION IF YOU ARRIVE PAST SESSION START TIME. NO EXCEPTIONS.
If you're late, you'll miss The RunDown, where we go over form, cues, and options for the day's training - important for safe and effective training.
Please plan to arrive at least 5 minutes early for returning sessions.
Why do I need to arrive early for my first session?
Arriving early gives you the opportunity to review our standard liability waiver and discuss any injuries, restrictions, or goals with your Coach. You'll also receive an overview of how our sessions work, which is essential for understanding the flow. Most importantly, this time allows for a demonstration of the VersaClimber , a key piece of equipment that many new clients haven't used before joining TRAIN Moment.
Do you have Showers?
Yes, every TRAIN Moment location features beautifully designed, full-service locker rooms equipped with showers. You'll find towels (no towel service at River North location), shampoo, conditioner, body wash, blow dryers, lotion, deodorant, Q-tips, and laundry bags available for your convenience.
Do you have parking?
Yes, each TRAIN Moment location offers various parking options:
Lincoln Park (Chicago): Enjoy free rooftop parking! Enter the parking ramp just two doors south of us on Clybourn Ave (next to the Red Wings store). There is also paid hourly parking available along Clybourn.
Third Ward (Milwaukee): Take advantage of free street parking right in front until 8 AM. Additional paid and free street parking is available nearby, along with an hourly surface parking lot just north of our entrance, between us and Café Benelux.
West Loop (Chicago): Free street parking is available until 8 AM. Paid street parking can be found on Desplaines, Randolph, and Lake, all within a 1-2 block walk.
River North (Chicago): Free street parking is available until 8 AM. Paid street parking can be found on Superior, Wells, and Lasalle, all within a 1-2 block walk.
How many days can I train at TRAIN Moment without overtraining?
That's a great question! If you're training exclusively at TRAIN Moment, we recommend aiming for 4-5 sessions per week. This approach is sustainable + allows for adequate recovery. If you're looking to do more, we strongly encourage at least one full rest day each week. Training seven days a week without proper recovery can actually hinder your progress. Remember, strength training requires recovery to be effective; without it, you may experience diminishing returns on your results.
