Our History
In the summer of 2016, I opened Heather’s Gym on First Street. My vision was a community studio where I would know everyone by name. A studio where my instructors could be creative with different equipment so we could deliver a fantastic variety of workouts! I envisioned a studio where the purpose of being fit is to feel great and enjoy your life.
A little more than a year after opening Heather’s Gym, I opened Libertyville’s first and only indoor cycling studio, HG Cycle. We closed HG Cycle in October 2020 and moved cycle to our First Street studio in preparation for expanding our cycle offerings. Stay tuned for more news on that....
I love being a boutique studio owner because it allows me the special opportunity to connect with members, respond to their wants and needs, and truly have a positive impact on our community. I love having entire families together in my classes.
I believe that exercise should be fun and a celebration of what our bodies can do! Come try a class and have some fun while making your body fit.
