Basketball is a game of inches. Like all sports, speed kills , and faster is better! Speed matters when playing defense and offense. Players with more speed are simply able to make more plays... so maybe it is time to do something about that!  No matter how high of a level you play, speed and jump mechanics matter.  As a basketball player continues at higher and higher levels, it becomes evident the having amazing fundamentals can make a huge difference when you don't play your best game.
  • A faster player coming off a screen, is more likely to hit that 3 over the outstretched hands of a defender.
  • A faster player running the floor, is more likely to get that transition layup or dunk.
  • A faster player bringing the ball down the court, is more likely to turn a secondary break into a primary break and create offense for your team. Or better yet, you create a scoring opportunity for yourself.
  • A faster player on defense, is able to closeout on a skip pass and take away an opponent's jump shot.
  • A faster player in transition defense, can get back in time to block a game winning shot attempt.

I can't say enough about POW. I joined about a year ago and it has been life changing for my strength, conditioning, balance and just overall well-being.  The coaches are outstanding and take care to learn different students' capabilities then adjust workouts individually as needed. As a complete newbie when I started, this made me feel safe and comfortable in trying all these new things. Everyone both working and attending the gym have  been warm and welcoming from my first day.  I highly recommend checking it out!

I'm a repeat customer. Outstanding owners and staff, some of the best I've met in the fitness and self defense world. The class offerings are on point, diverse, and continually evolving. Their commitment to the success and growth of their customers is amazing. It's truly personalized. They take into account your ability, experience, and goals while nicely pushing your boundaries. The training sessions can be intense but the atmosphere is casual, fun and relaxed. The facility is impressive, spacious, clean, convenient, and well maintained. Great equipment, well stocked with quality machines and gear. POW is also active in the community including helping veterans. Great team, great place, great outcomes.

Having been a member of 5 different gyms (2 strength/conditioning, 1 wrestling, 1 boxing, 1 MMA) I’ve found POW to be the cleanest, most professional, welcoming, and accessible gym by far.

There are at least three other reasons for why POW is an excellent gym:

1. POW has the equipment and space I need to do any of the aforementioned activities (Strength/conditioning, wrestling, boxing, MMA).
2. The owner clearly only hires qualified staff who contribute to the professional/welcoming environment.
3.  I have seen both families and high-level athletes in this gym. It takes a certain kind of gym to accommodate both.

That being said, I have no problem stating that POW is the single best gym in West Loop.

If I recall correctly, I have only ever written 2 Google reviews in my life. The reason why I took the time to write this one is so that you can join POW, give them business, and keep them around so I can continue to enjoy this gym for years to come.
