Our sister company, CS Gym Design, brings 17+ years of running Chicago's top gyms into your space: home gyms and commercial facilities, from architectural schematic to the last dumbbell.
CS Gym Design is our sister company, founded by Tom Parry, the same owner who has spent 17+ years building and running Chicago Strength's three gyms. Every home gym they design draws on what actually works across thousands of training sessions: the layouts, flooring, equipment and flow that make a training space get used instead of gathering dust.
That background makes them a custom home gym design and construction firm that thinks like a gym operator, not a decorator: schematics drawn around how you train, equipment curated from 30+ brand partners, and construction managed start to finish.
They handle more than houses. CS Gym Design designs and builds commercial gyms too. All three Chicago Strength facilities are their work, from the 7,000 sq ft River North buildout to the ground-up Avondale gym. Boutique studio, office or amenity space, full commercial facility, the same design-build team takes all of it on.
The work
Browse the full portfolio of completed home gyms.
Every build moves through their design and construction process: a proposal studio to scope the space and budget, a schematic studio that produces detailed architectural schematics and conceptual renderings, then construction and equipment installation. Gyms for growing families can fold in playroom design so one renovation serves the whole household.
