SOMEDAY IS NOT A DAY OF THE WEEK.

As you build endurance, you also build your cardiovascular health and increase your lung capacity through a low impact workout (unlike running) which is safe for the knees.

 

Not only does a 45-60 minute indoor cycling class burn a serious amount of calories (up to 800), these workouts are good for the soul. As you tone your body, you also build mental strength. The added bonus, you are having so much fun pumping to the music you forget you are working out! 

Hi!  I am Raquel, the proud owner of Push.  I started Push in 2014 with a one-year, cross-your-fingers lease, bikes bought on credit, and no instructors or prospective members.  A decade later, I still have OG members attending classes, stronger than ever.  

I had broken my back in a car accident and ran a marathon.  These both put tremendous strain on many of my joints and I found myself bedridden with sciatica quite often.  I found Spin, and my core became stronger, my knees hurt less, and I realized my periods of back pain were becoming fewer and farther between.  The only problem was, the Spin place I was attending was over an hour roundtrip to attend a single class. I was determined to allow others to feel better in their body the way that I did.  

Since then, I believe we have done so for many.  We have expanded our classes to Yoga, Weights, boot camps, and more.  Our mission will always be to provide an accepting workout environment for all body types who want to get better no matter what level they are at.

Jaclyn is a high school English teacher by day and a fitness instructor by night. She discovered a love of group fitness over ten years ago and went on a fitness and lifestyle journey to lose over fifty pounds through group fitness classes!  One of her instructors encouraged her to move to the front of the class.  So, she gets it! It is not easy, but it is worth it and there is nothing as infectious as the energy of a group fitness class with your friends struggling and thriving next to you. Her goal is to give you a challenging workout and frames for growth whether it be muscle gain or weight loss. Each workout includes mods and advancements for all fitness levels, always recognizing that you know your body best.  

No two classes are ever the same. She has been a group fitness instructor for over five years with specialty training in P90X, MetKon Rx, Core De Force, TRX, Sh1ft, and L1ft. You will always get a total body workout from head to toe that pulls from all these specialties.

Meet Bianca!  She started her fitness training with running and cardio back in 2010. Ran the Chicago marathon in 2011 and decided she wanted to expand her workouts. She loved going to Swallow Cliff to train on the stairs. 2016 she began spinning at Push and fell in love.

After being a patron for 3 years we begged her to get her certification because she was a natural leader. She became an instructor (one of the best things to ever happen to me).  At Push, she found a passion for Bootcamp and HIIT classes. 2020 she began training for CFD which taught her about real endurance. Last year she competed in Hyrox 2023. Her high energy and motivation will have you coming back for more!
