YOUR COMMITMENT YOUR LIFE.

TRAIN FOR WHATEVER COMES NEXT.

NLS Athletic is a private training studio in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood built around a simple idea: your training should fit your life.

Maybe you’re preparing for a race. Getting back to training after time away. Building strength. Staying athletic as you get older. Or you simply want to feel better in your body and keep doing the things you love.

Coach Stephan meets you where you are and builds from there.

No performance required. No one-size-fits-all program.

Come as you are. We’ll get to work.

WAYS TO TRAIN

PERSONAL TRAINING

One-on-one coaching built around you.

Your goals, experience, movement, strengths and limitations shape the work. Whether you’re building strength, improving conditioning, preparing for an event or starting again, Stephan creates a training approach designed to move you forward.

Personal. Intentional. Built to last.

SMALL GROUP TRAINING

Good coaching. Good people. Real work.

NLS small-group sessions combine individualized attention with the energy of training alongside others. You’ll work hard, get stronger and become part of a community where people know your name.

Small groups. Strong community.

THIS ISN’T FITNESS FOR SHOW.

At NLS, training isn’t about punishment, chasing somebody else’s body or proving how hard you can go.

It’s about becoming more capable.

Stronger legs for the miles ahead. Better conditioning for race day. More mobility. More confidence. More years doing the things you want to do.

And sometimes, it’s simply about walking out feeling better than when you walked in.

Stephan brings years of coaching experience to every session, adjusting the work to the person in front of him—not forcing the person into a program.

Because the best training program isn’t the hardest one.

It’s the one that helps you keep going.

YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. YOUR GYM.

Tucked inside a historic church at 5950 N. Magnolia in Edgewater, NLS Athletic feels a little different from the moment you find it.

It’s intimate. Independent. A little hidden.

And once you’re inside, you’re part of it.

NLS welcomes clients from Edgewater, Andersonville, Uptown, Lakeview and Rogers Park—and anyone looking for a more personal way to train.
