Who Is Chicago's Hottest Trainer? The Final Round Starts Now

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

You've checked out the contestants. You've read their profiles. You've voted for your favorites. And now, the time has come to determine a winner.

Ladies and gentlemen, on Monday at 11am, we will officially declare one of the two people above Chicago's Hottest Trainer 2013. Will it be Nik Rodriguez, our contest's lone man, who teaches strength session classes at Hard Pressed and group Pilates classes at Reform Chicago? Or will it be Lindy Endres, who teaches pole dancing (among other things) at Flirty Girl Fitness? Only you can decide.

A refresher on the rules: The final poll will remain open all weekend, closing Monday, August 26, at 11am. As always, we'll be monitoring the comments for unsportsmanlike conduct. And remember, we do this every year, so if you know someone who should be involved, keep an eye out for our calls for submissions next summer. Now, let the games begin!
