Muscle Activation Schaumburg

I recently completed 5 muscle activation sessions with Charlie Cates at their studio in Schaumburg. I did not go in for a specific issue, rather to be sure that my body was functioning optimally (I am an active 58 year old and my "classic chassis" needs to be maintained!). From the moment I walked in the door, I was impressed by their professional studio. It's a calm, welcoming environment and I felt like I'd found the right place the moment I arrived. As for their skills, I left my sessions feeling great and confident knowing that I was on the right track. Charlie thoroughly explained the MAT principles and guided me through each session. I highly recommend Charlie, Julie and Muscle Activation Schaumburg for their health service. My post session workouts and daily activities are accomplished with much more freedom of movement. I am also a regular listener to their "Exercise is health" podcast. Muscle Activation Schaumburg provides the tools to promote my most significant asset, my personal health.

I was introduced to MAT Schaumburg through mutual connections. At first I though this is just another health and wellness provider that doesn't actually fix anything long term. Once I went for my initial appointment, Charlie, was very informative and explained the difference between Muscle Activation and Chiropractors. I came here because I had severe knee pain due to running a full Marathon a few months prior. At first I thought that the pain would go away over time. This was not the case.

Then I went to Muscle Activation with Charlie and through the process I was able to start walking and running and cycling again without any severe pain. While this is not going to fix severe injuries, if you are willing to put in the time you will see improvement.
While the therapy was very successful I can't say that there is no discomfort at all. I guess I should get it checked out by a doctor.

Overall I went in with low expectations and came out in great shape. Charlie was able to really educate me about what he was doing and the long term requirements for staying away from injury through Muscle Activation. I can highly recommend their services.

I’m not an athlete, just a regular person that enjoys fitness, but my hip and back pain was getting in the way of day to day activities. I started MAT with Charlie and after the first session the pain lessened and I walked and moved so much easier. It's been six weeks and the results have been life changing. I didn't even have to know what MAT was. Charlie guides you through all the steps in a one-on-one session. Their evening hours are great so I am able to go after work. I would definitly recommend them.

I have just hit my 1 year mark of training with Julie Cates at Muscle Activation Schaumburg. I am so very happy with my results so far!! I have lost a visible and trackable amount of fat as well as changed the make us of my body mass by seeing Julie 1 time per week and adding other activities to my exercise and diet regimen as suggested by her. She is a great trainer with a passion for what she does and a personal touch along with the professionalism and expertise to change peoples lives. I recommend Julie or her partner Charlie to anyone that is ready to work for what you want in your health goals, if you prefer a personal one on one training experience, and if you do not want to be part of a giant gym. She is a great accountability partner to help get you from where you are to where you truly want to be. Highly recommend this organization!

I have been training with Julie Errington since the fall of '15 and my experience has been outstanding to date. I had a few chronic issues when I started with my back and feet and have had really positive benefits from MAT plus the core training. I've tried other training methods in the past and believe I have now found exactly what's right for me. Julie provides continuous feedback and support throughout the training experience and has tailored my workout to help me achieve positive results. The ultimate acid test of my progress came last weekend when I was able to donate a bunch of clothes to charity that were too big! It's been a great experience for me and I can only offer my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a truly personalized training experience.
