Local fitness expert keeps residents in shape

By Shanti Nagarkatti for New Chicago Fitness

With 14 years of fitness industry experience and more than a decade as a Certified Personal Trainer, Anita Reyna, owner and founder of New Chicago Fitness, is helping

the residents of New Eastside keep fit.

“I’m great at helping everyone,” Reyna said. “From athletes, to those recovering from in-

juries, to weight loss or muscle gain, any age group or health setback, you name it.”

Exercise has always been important to Reyna, who trained friends during college

and held summer jobs at fitness facilities.

After graduation, she decided to pursue opportunities in the fitness industry, work-

ing in Chicago gyms. In 2009, coinciding with her move to the Aqua building,

Reyna started her own personal training business, New Chicago Fitness.

NCF’s team consists of professional

personal trainers, massage therapists, and

boxing instructors operating out of New Eastside. “We all know each other and

treat each other like family and friends,” Reyna said.

In addition to personal training, NCF offers boot camp classes, like boxing and workout classes. On Saturdays, she leads a half-hour Abs Class from 10:00–10:30 a.m.

at the Aqua gym.

“We offer nutritional advice and get into the details to develop a well-rounded

approach. We help you create new and better routines that actually fit your life,”

said Reyna.

Reyna recommends clients come to Aqua’s 80,000-square-foot fitness facility within the Radisson Blu Hotel, 225 N. Columbus Dr., for an initial consultation.
