What People Are Saying About Cheetah Gyms

The Scene – This tri-level gym creates a homey feel with its oak doors and staircase. Two three-story waterfalls empty into a carp-filled pond. Its lower-level stretching room pumps in new-age music, while the Spinning room is high-energy, with a sound system and light show. – – The Services – The gym's 15,000-square-foot strength-training room is filled with state-of-the-art equipment from Life Fitness and Body Master. There are plenty of machines available, even when the gym is most crowded; you'll never have to stand in line for an elliptical trainer or recumbent…

Great classes
by MellyO1
I love this place! The hours are great, and the people that work there challenge you to get a great workout. Its also a really good place to meet people, I have actually made a small handful of friends there, and dated a guy that I met there. The facility is clean, and the classes are the best.
- Pros: Great classes
- Cons: Expensive!

Awful Gym-- crowded space with a rude staff
by soulinwonder
The Cheetah sells overpriced gym memberships based on superficialities and status symbolism and , after one joins, continues to put on the sales pressure for additional services. The ownership/staff (not all-- but a few key individuals) is not only unhelpful, but unnecessarily confrontational and edgy.
Do yourself a favor and check out a real gym like Chicago Fitness center on Lincoln. It doesn't have the preening meat market aspect of Cheetah and it has more than enough space for the requisite equipment.
- Pros: shiny machines and cold towels
- Cons: staff space and attitude

Alot of Fluff
by lock04
Yes, it is a nice gym and definitely modern BUT, I have been to several gyms in this city and this one has many faults despite some great recommendations. The place is too overcrowded and the staff can be very rude at times. There is really no place to stretch or anything else because of the "social scene". Prices are high and I hear they are a bear about contracts. If you are a gym person and cannot be intimidated this is for you, if you are uncomfortable in crowds the stay away.
- Pros: Big, Social Scene
- Cons: Crowded, Pricey, Staff
