  Totally totally awesome place! Very cool owner! I love this place. As soon as I get a chance, I go there. Coaches will make you work as hell. They won't let you relax for a second. And I love it! Absolutely recommend it!!!!

  I'm a member at Downers Grove and have been to Elmhurst many times. I'm the guy who would sit in the gym and lift the conventional weights and conventional cardio with my headphones on. But, at PATRIOT I leave the headphones at home and workout in the best adult playground. The workouts are tough, but the instructors are not drill sargeants and encourage you not berate you. You can drop out and in anytime you need a breather w/out fear of getting the "stink eye" from the instructor or your classmates. This is not a gym w/ attitude!!! Leave the attitude at the spandex gyms! Respect for the individual is the norm not the exception. I get to run, jump rope, hit a tire w/ a sledge hammer, punch heavy bags, throw medicine balls at the wall (w/out getting yelled at), jump into a class in the middle or the end. It's challenging, fun, personable, and cathartic. OH YEAH, AND ONE HECK OF A WAY TO GET IN SHAPE FAST AND SAFELY

  Patriot is just 100% awesome in every way. I've been attending regularly for more than a year. Family-owned, very friendly, very receptive to input and feedback of their members and constantly evolving, adding more value/classes/etc for their members. Everyone is welcome. Don't be shy ladies there are plenty of gals in there boxing with the guys. Don't be worried if you have no experience and are out of shape. Just show up and try and you'll get results. If you are someone who is already fit and works out regularly you will be challenged to the MAX and then some. I consider myself extremely fit and I love the intensity and the fact that each class is a little different so it keeps your body guessing and improving. At least come in for your first class (FREE) and TRY it. You'll be hooked. And if you stick with it, you'll get into great shape.

  I decided to take advantage of Patriot's free class. I attended Saturday's kick boxing class. Oh..My..God! It was the best class I've ever hated. My hands were wrapped and gloved so I could hit the big bag. I've done kick boxing before, but never with gloves. so I had no idea what I was in for. The warm-up nearly killed me. Don't get me wrong, I've worked out before, but not like this. Jogging to warm up? Yeah, right...I just kept telling myself that I'd get through it, and I did. By the end of the class I was wringing wet with sweat. Definitely a great work-out, and I'm crazy enough to be going back.
