This is the first stop in my new series the best gyms in America! On today's stop we hit up the world famous Quads Gym in Chicago. This is a MUST if you are in the Chicago area. It looks small from the outside but let me tell you your mind will be blown when you start walking around. Listen to the passion in Dave's voice too. The way he treats his customers, the way he loves his gym, just what a gym and someone who runs a gym should aspire to be. I am so privileged to have been able to do this at this awesome gym.

Voted one of the Top 10 Gyms in America by Muscular Development magazine. If you're looking for a real gym, not a spa with dumbbells, welcome home.
It began as a dream shared between two childhood friends, 35 years ago, in a basement.
Dave De Young and Tom Milanovich lived that dream, opening a gym where friends could gather to lift weights, to get stronger and back then, to compete. Quads Gym evolved from Tom’s basement to a small storefront space, to the 46,000 square foot space in Calumet City, just south of Chicago, known back then as the “Land of the Giants” where true bodybuilders trained hard.
The second location opened on Chicago’s North Side in 1988, with another 40,000 square feet boasting 115 pieces of cardio, 5 complete sets of dumbbells, kettle bells, 45 pieces of Hammer Strength, and hundreds of other unique pieces from Cybex, Paramount, Nebula, Strength Inc., Elite Systems and Sports Art. All of this as well as boards, chains, farmers walk handles, a log, and a dead lift platform. Boxing, pilates and martial arts all combine to make it easy for bodybuilders to train here along with your everyday fitness enthusiast.
Gym member Greg Sorrells says, “if you’re serious about lifting, or if you want to be a power lifter in Chicago, you absolutely must come to Quads. Supportive atmosphere - everything you need to train is here. You can really get down to business, but it’s respectful,people give us our space and we give them theirs. It’s really given me a place to grow as an athlete, and Dave really likes it when we make some noise!"
Among the many accolades bestowed on Quads:
• Top 10 Gyms in America - Muscle & Fitness, 2005
• Top 10 Gym Haunts- Muscular Development, 2007
• Best of Chicago, Gym Category, The Chicago Reader, 2008
• 5 stars from Yelp and AOL
• Weightlifting home of Ed Coan - winner of 125 World Records in Power Lifting; 12 Senior National Championships and 12 World Championships a.k.a. “the Michael Jordan of Powerlifting”
Along with the world-famous Eddie Coan, who began lifting here lifting here 20 years ago, Quads members who took home trophies from the biggest contests year after year include: Pete Miller, Jeff King and the late Chuck Durr (Mr. America); Cynthia Barker (Ms. America) and Laura Crevalle (Ms. Olympia), Anthony Watkins (Teenage Mr. America), Milo Sarcev, Roland Kickinger and Chris Cormier (Mr. Olympia), and so many more - John Larrieu, Larry Bernstein and Mark Phillippi, now the Strength Coach at UNLV and winner of the Met-Rx Strong Man competitions. Simply put, anybody who wanted a serious place to train and get results came to Quads.
