Hello Chicago - need a new routine try Benjilany Fitness, 2 years after my kidney transplant. I wanted to get back where I was even better than before. Living a healthy lifestyle is important so with that being said, I wanted to work on my self defense striking, kickboxing and fitness.
This place is amazing. The gym has such a chill and positive atmosphere. Both the teachers and students have been welcoming, kind, supportive and respectful. All the teachers are attentive and make it around to everyone during drills. Gym fees are transparent, no required uniforms, and cross training is encouraged.
I wanted to share a quick story in hopes that perhaps it will help someone else one day.. my oldest son has always struggled with anxiety as he went in to his early teen years he seemed to feel worse with all the pressures at school .
