I have recently finished my first 12 week training and nutritional coaching program with Tommaso. As a Physical Therapist, I know how to strength train, burn calories, and get a "good workout". However, over the last few years I have plateaued and knew that I needed something more to see the lifelong changes I desire.
Tommaso designs a holistic plan that includes both nutritional and behavioral changes that have allowed me to set up my day, week, and life for success and growth. Plus, my in-studio and home workout routine promotes functional strengthening for optimal muscle balance and strength rather than just a six-pack, which I believe is why I haven't seen results with other trainers/programs.
Over the last 12 weeks, I have reduced stress, created short and longterm life goals, and most importantly to me, reduced inflammation and swelling in my body. It was the key I was missing. I wholeheartedly recommend trying and committing to this journey with a caring and hardworking trainer like Tommaso.

If there were a way to give 10 stars to Tommaso I certainly would. Needless to say, there is a reason that every review for him is 5 stars. I have never worked with a trainer before choosing Tommaso based on his Yelp reviews and I hope that my review encourages others who may be at a point in their lives where they may want to consider professional help in their achieving personal fitness goals. I have never worked with a personal trainer before and I had little to no experience working out.
Upon meeting Tommaso I knew I wanted to make the commitment and I'm so happy that I did. His energy, enthusiasm and positive outlook is infectious. He tailors each workout to your abilities and skill level and he encourages you in best possible way to set higher expectations for yourself. I've learned so much during the months we've worked together and I see such an amazing difference in my physical, mental and emotional well-being. He has educated me on fitness, form and nutrition and he takes genuine interest in who you are, what you need and how you feel. I've never felt self-conscious or embarrassed when training with Tommaso because he so clearly wants only the very best for each and every one of his clients no matter their shape, size or strength.
Tommaso has truly helped me change my life and for that I am deeply grateful. I can't recommend him highly enough and I urge you to make the time to meet Tommaso and discover what all of his clients already know...he's a fitness genius, a tireless motivator and a trusted friend. Thank you, Tommaso. Much love to you.

HAPPY 8th Anniversary Oak Park Fitness!!!!!!!! Tommaso Luca Sanna is more than a personal trainer and chef. I have witnessed and personally experienced how the training/support he offers extends beyond his clients - as we all become more able to help our families and others with the strength and positivity he reinforces in each session in addition to his generosity within the community.
8yrs and growing is a great accomplishment for any business but what you offer is a great gift for all who are fortunate to work with you.

I came to Tommaso after ~3 years of more or less being a total couch potato. Prior to that, I'd had experience with various martial arts, but had never really picked up any knowledge/experience with 'normal' workout strategies that would let me be able to self-train at a gym. I tried a few 'group class' locations and only managed to 1) injure myself and 2) realize I was so far out of shape I'm not even sure we were in the same state, much less zipcode.
When I looked into personal trainers, I relied on ratings. Tommaso's was encouraging, so I took the plunge.
Let me say this: The man earns his stars.
In the four months I've been with him, I have:
1) Gone from being breathless after a flight of stairs to being able to go up three flights with only minor winding, which settles down in under 15 seconds. (This, for the record, was my three month goal. Filling out his paperwork is time-consuming, but he *will* read it and hold you to it if you put in the work).
2) Lost 25 lbs.
3) Gone down a size in all forms of clothing.
It happens in the gym, sure: Tommaso is all too happy to push you (but not TOO hard, just hard enough) while you're with him, and those 45 minute sessions will do a lot for your strength and co-ordination and balance.
Where he really gets you back in line is the nutrition.
Somewhere around the third week, he had me start food journals. We looked over those after I had a few weeks laid down, and he started to make suggestions. Some areas where I could cut; some areas where I could substitute. I've followed those instructions 90% or so of the time (no one is perfect) and I am convinced that even if I never stepped foot in the gym again and never had another session, the new eating habits he instilled would eventually get me close to a healthy weight.
There is only one complaint, and it's more of a challenge than anything, that I have. Tommaso is a man with many clients with many interests, and that sometimes means trips. Many of those are a week (or several) long, and this leaves no opportunity to use the facilities. That said, just pick up a class pass book for another gym, or use the home workouts he gives you, and you can get through; it's just harder, because you have to rely on self-discipline and improvised equipment (if you don't have your own weights at home).

Tommaso is an incredible trainer whose holistic approach to physical, mental and nutritional well-being has yielded incredible results for me. I've tried other gyms in Oak Park, but none of them delivered the same quality as Oak Park Fitness Trainer. From the beginning, Tommaso was invested in my fitness goals and has gone above and beyond to create challenging one-on-one sessions and group classes.
Tommaso's positive energy and outlook on life is something he readily applies to his workouts and it's a motivating factor for coming to his classes. No matter how tired I feel, I know I will feel so much better once I start working out and that's in large part due to Tommaso's workouts and the supportive community he fosters.
I have been training with Tommaso for a few months now and I am already seeing results. He is constantly challenging me with new exercises and is always looking for ways to target both my strengths and weaknesses. I am really excited to keep working with Tommaso and see where this journey takes me. I can't say enough good things about Tommaso as a trainer and a person and I would encourage anyone, regardless of their fitness levels, to try Oak Park Fitness Trainer.

I've been working with Tommaso for 15 months and my experience has been excellent in every way. He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He pushes you to improve your workout performance and nutrition but it is fun and satisfying. He has taught me a lot which enables me to work out on my own much more effectively and I am still learning. I know several of his other clients and they are equally enthusiastic. Also, they run the gamut from 20 year old highly competitive triathletes to folks like me who are in their mid-60's. Tommaso is an effective professional able to help all types of people.

Tommaso Luca Sanna is a wonderful trainer. His individualized program is so important for someone like me who is older (66) and hasn't exercised in a number of years. After about two months of twice weekly sessions I am much stronger and more stable on my feet. I think my progress is going to be a much steeper slope now. I highly recommend Tommasso. Plus, he is the nicest guy ever. Oh, and the training is not just for older folks like me. He trains younger people too. And the clients that I know of have been training with him for many years.! Thanks, T!

I have trained with Tommaso for more than two years. With his support I was able to lose ten pounds which I have successfully kept off. He understands body mechanics like no one else. He's a fantastic trainer who deeply cares about every one of his clients' lives and goals.

Tommaso is a good trainer with customized meal and exercise plans. His studio can accommodate 2-4 person classes if you want to sign up with friends. Larger groups are possible if you want to be outdoors.
I've been going to him for the last 6 months, and have been making steady progress with his guidance.
He offers classes 6 days a week, all times of the day, and he's very accommodating if you have to reschedule.
He also offers a meal prep service if you want to eliminate the hassle of meal planning.

I have belonged to a gym for many years. However, I never seemed to get there very often. Mainly because I could always find something else "more exciting" to do.
Then I found Tommaso. I can't believe I am saying this, but, working out is actually FUN. With Tommaso it is more than just working out. He is also a lifestyle coach. He has been helping my wife and me with eating and exercising at home. I expect that we will be working with Tommaso for a very long time!!! The funny thing is... before I used to HATE to go to the gym.. now, if I ever have to miss a session, I am completely bummed out. I would recommend him to anyone I know that wants to improve their fitness.

Working with Tomasso over the past several months has been such a blessing. His expertise in fitness and nutrition (combined with his creative mindset, and genuine passion for helping others achieve their goals) has given me the confidence to conquer my personal goals in record time.
My goals for the end of last year were to gain 15 pounds of muscle mass and run a 5K. Within a month, I had tackled my first 5K. By month two, I placed second in my age & division in the Chilly Chili 5K. And by month three, I had achieved my weight gain goals.
I look forward to continuing to grow alongside Oak Park Fitness. Their trainer, as well as their ability to listen effectively and adapt, puts them ahead of the competition.

Tommaso is a wealth of information! Not only will he help you get into shape and obtain your fitness goals, but he will also educate you on proper nutrition and well being. As a client I would highly recommend private and group classes with Tommaso!

I've been working with Tommaso for the last 4 months. Initially my goals were simple, increase strength, better posture and more stamina. I had never considered that this was a process I may actually enjoy. I've been able to accomplish all 3 goals and have enjoyed discovering the things that I never knew I can do. Tommaso pushes you towards your goals in a way that is safe and encouraging. He is very focused on form and his attention to detail is incredible. He is really a multi faceted trainer who forms a partnership with his clients that allows you to push beyond what you can imagine for yourself.
