“...snot-nosed melodic-punk bands that can sweat out sing-along hooks just as well as they can shotgun tallboys of Old Style behind a Dumpster, Fitness put their faith in the power of the triumphant dual-guitar battle between riff boys Mike Hayes and Ian Lee.” Kevin Warwick - Chicago Reader “Puppet Show is a great EP from a band poised to do a lot more in the future. They’re exciting, there’s a sense of urgency to their music that’s infectious, enough aggression to sell the venom in the lyrics. Each song is an experience, with busy leads that bounce off each other like billiard balls on break, full throated singalongs begging to be shouted back; songs that come out swinging, gloves in the air and a pep in their step, hungry for connection.” Carson Winter - Dying Scene “The band burns through a meaty, forward-charging rock melody with the help of two guitars shooting off bottle-rocket riffs and some seriously gnarly, melodic scream-singing that occasionally gives way to some uplifting vocal harmonies.” Leor Galil - Chicago Reader "with soaring twin-guitar leads and interesting song structures that make them feel like they could possibly be the soundtrack of your summer if you want them to be. Alex Simotes - For the Love of Punk “Energetic, boisterous and outright fun, Fitness is a band that doesn't exactly fit in with the rest of the city but still thrives by sticking to its guns... It's refreshing to see a band whose members have such a clear understanding of who they are and what they want to do.” Britt Julious - Chicago Tribune “I got there while Fitness were playing, I’m so short that I couldn’t actually see the band but damn could I hear them. A good melody + really techy, cool, chuggy guitar bits and good little solos and some killer drums is all I need in a band sometimes and on that cold evening in Chicago it was the perfect mix to dance to. Go, listen, make your day far more awesome.” Maryam Hassan - Punktastic
