Experienced tutor in Personal trainer in Northbrook, Daniel offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I have been working with Dan for about two years. We have been working on strength and flexibility, and Dan has been great at spotting problems and addressing them right away. His combination of yoga stretching and strength exercizes is just what I need. It's important for me to address weak spots and not just throw weight at them. Dan is careful to identify any problem areas and make sure we stretch them out first. Dan sees what's happening with my body much better than I can alone. Through stretching and loading, I've improved both flexibility and strength and look forward to increasing my capabilities.

Dan's approach is truly personalized to meet your training needs. We have focused on stretching, core, and strength training to meet my life goals. I hooked up with Dan 3 years ago after I had a total knee replacement and have never looked back.

Daniel and I met 2-3 times a week for several months to help me lose weight and gain strength and flexibility. It was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend his work to anyone. Daniel was very knowledgeable about the ways each muscle relates to the others. He is careful to make sure stretching is part of the workout to prevent injury. He is conscientious about giving you the full time of your session and is patient and encouraging. I achieved the goals I set out to meet because I feel Daniel customized my workouts to maximize the benefits. I would definitely work with Daniel again if I were to get out of shape and need a tune-up.

Daniel is extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful about body mechanics, and he has helped me maximize performance during workouts while also protecting me from injury. I have been working 2-3x per week with Daniel for 6 months, and I have enjoyed working with him because he really cares about my progress and comes prepared with specific and new exercises for every session.

Dan is a terrific trainer. I have been working with Dan for five years. He is very knowledgeable about muscles and joints and how to avoid injury when working out. He has a well rounded approach to strengthening and improving your body.

I have been working with Dan for three months now. He is patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable on strength training and motivates you to develop a stronger core..safely!

Dan is the best. Very knowledgable, great at explaining the way muscle groups work together. Great with those of us who have had injuries in the past. Couldn't recommend more. Daniel has been a great asset to me as I am getting into shape and losing weight. He is very patient and creative. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer.

I am 62 and stopped working out cold turkey in 2008 due to health problems. I was not able to get back on track on my own. I have been working with Daniel for a few months now and find his approach, in my case, focused on muscle stretching and muscle balance has been invaluable in getting me started again.

My job is computer software developer and I do this over 20 years. According to my job, I have back/shoulders pain and my posture also is not very good. Before I have trainer I have a chiropractor to adjust my spine and posture sometime but every time the adjustment does not keep long and my bad posture comes back. I excited 3 to 4 times a week but it does not solve my problem before I have a trainer. Daniel, my trainer, does help me a lot (I started from Feb. 2016 - only about 3 months now). He teaches me some excites which are not difficult but really helpful and the best of all those excites do apply to my daily life and I get stronger and healthier. Last week, my chiropractor said I had a correct posture which I do not have over 10 years and I also lost some weight. Originally (before I have trainer) I thought I could do it myself and now it looks like I was wrong. I definitely will keep what I am doing now.

I started working with Dan after my knee injury, a meniscus tear in my left knee, I found him to be very knowledgeable about how the body works, he lets me go at my own pace without pushing and always avoiding things that may lead to injury, he is very pleasant; I enjoyed working with him, I recommend him highly.

Dan's approach is truly personalized. We focus on stretching, core and strength training to meet my life goals. I have been training wit Dan since 2012 following a knee replacement. I would highly recommend him.

I've been retired for 5 years but never really worked out until I started working with Dan. My doctor said to work on strength and flexibility, and that's exactly what Dan does. I especially appreciate the stretching we do and how he gears it to the areas needing work. A long-developing hip problem sent me to the doctor and then a physical therapist. I mentioned how Dan was approaching the problem, and he said that was exactly correct - not intuitive, but based on an understanding of how the hips work. He said to stay with that trainer! Dan continually studies how the body works and what exercises work best for specific problems.

Daniel and I have been working together 3 times a week for 2 years and he’s been very accommodating to my hectic and somewhat unpredictable schedule. His energy is contagious, which is very helpful for the workout regimen he has implemented. We focus on functional training for sports, including core strength and flexibility. I’m very happy with the results I’ve seen since Daniel and I began working together.

Dan is a terrific trainer. I have been working with him regularly over many years, and have found his knowledge of muscles and joints to be outstanding. He has a well-rounded approach to strengthening and improving your body, while at the same time avoiding any injury. He adapts the training to your personal needs. I highly recommend him for anyone, from a highly-skilled young athlete to a senior looking to improve his/her strength and flexibility. Jim H.

Daniel has been working with me since about 2010.
He is patient and accommodating, but still challenges. He is very attentive to core exercises but responds readily to doing more. He really knows his profession.
He is the best.

I've been working with Daniel Lew for the past eight months. His work with me on squats strength training and cardio has helped build my bone density by 5% in one year. I highly recommend Daniel Lew as a personal trainer!

My experience working with Daniel Lew was truly outstanding. I contacted him because I was interested in improving my posture, balance, flexibility, and core strength, as well as to work on tightness and pain in my lower back. I worked with Daniel for five months and had significant improvement in all of these areas. Daniel created specific exercise regimens for me that directly addressed my goals. He has a deep understanding of human musculature and movement and develops exercises that exactly meet each person’s needs. He also provides excellent guidance to make sure that proper form is maintained.
I cannot recommend Daniel highly enough. He listens carefully so that he fully understands each person’s goals and then creates a custom workout plan specifically for that person. His workouts are not “one size fits all.” He is very pleasant and makes the workouts enjoyable. He is an outstanding trainer.
