Neil Curran and the Chicago Fire
About the Owner
Neil Curran is the Managing Operator of your Fire House Fitness, and has been a personal trainer for over 15 years. During this time, he has worked with a diverse client base including neophytes and athletes of every kind: professional, Olympic, collegiate, high school, and recreational. Clients come to Neil for a variety of issues (e.g. weight loss, endurance, rehabilitation, strength, balance, agility, quickness, and power). With an master’s degree in physiology and neuroscience, and a doctorate in clinical and sport psychology, he looks to integrate his knowledge of sport sciences to meet clients where they are and help them push themselves down the path of performance. He will help the new exerciser embrace a lifetime of activity, as well as help advanced athletes fine tune their sport performance.
In addition, Neil is an accredited soccer coach (USSF “B”, NSCAA Advanced National) and is the head varsity soccer coach for both the boys’ and girls’ teams at the Francis W. Parker School. During his ten year tenure, no coach in school history has been as successful.

They can work with you in addressing health issues like hypertension, diabetes, weight, strength, bone density, and even neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. Many of our trainers also have special areas of interest such as sport-specific training, post-surgical rehabilitation, flexibility and strength training, and prenatal training. You will feel secure that you are working with the best. Our hiring requirements are the most stringent in the Chicago area.
