The Foundry Employee Directory

The Foundry is more than a Gym. We believe in helping you forge your best self through sustainable health and fitness. Growing up I was very active and played tennis and other sports competitively. After college, it was difficult to replace those activities while adjusting to the demands of being a working adult. I was frustrated that although I ha... d a great job, I felt as if my health and fitness was taking a back seat. Going to the gym was boring and wasnt very effective. I had an epiphany: we are not meant to simply go to work, sit in cubicles and collect a paycheck for years on end while our physical health declines. We are meant to explore, run, jump, lift and play so that we may experience life to the fullest and inspire others to do the same. With that in mind, I set about creating something that would be fun, effective, and sustainable. I started the gym in 2011 in the back room of my apartment with a handful of weights, two friends as clients and a lot of passion. Today, we operate a 5,000 sqft facility in downtown Chicago, work with hundreds of busy professionals and have been voted one of Chicagos best gyms. If you would like to achieve the fitness you deserve and maintain it for life, I invite you to get started with us. To empower each person in our community to promote well-being for themselves, their families, and their organizations.Read More
