Description: Chicago's Largest Human Powered & Eco Friendly Gym! Business Stage: Profitable 230 Total Workout Capacity/Hour 2800 Total Capacity Members Facility The 14,000 square foot facility that ENRGi is currently constructing will be the most Green facility in Chicago. We will have all of our human powered cardio equipment (no electric powered needed!) wired into a ReRev generator. ReRev will convert otherwise wasted energy into productive renewable energy that feeds back into the building’s electrical system. Therefore, our utilities are directly powered by the hard work of our clientele. This not only saves on our energy cost, but it also reduces the natural resources that would be used to created the energy that would have been used for the powering of that equipment. Intent Our intent is to not only bring an awareness into Chicago about Green living, but also to help expand on the ever-growing health and fitness community. There is a lot of good information out there, but integrating it takes a careful eye and the advice of people who are applying the information in a real environment. Lucky for ENRGi, we have put a team together that reflects cutting-edge thinking with expertise to back it up. Group Training: Group Training is our niche. We offer over 110 classes per week. We excel at class formats and the programming of schedules that are challenging, fun and exciting for any and all members. Many gyms will claim to have the new and improved version of this or that, but we are constantly inventing our own programs to set a very high standard and to live up to it. We tailor to our clients needs. From day one, we have customized our schedule and programming based on our clients needs, trends in the industry, and preventative maintenance so that our clients continue to grow and train in a manner that provides them with the most benefit. Our main tenets are: Flexibility, Stability, Strength, Endurance/Cardio, Athletic Performance/Power & Agility, Aesthetic/Toning Fitness Rx: A program that we offer for a small cost to clients that puts a schedule of our classes together to guide them to reach their goals. We offer three different options to help clients help get on the right track and stay accountable!
