In Short – "Look better naked." Barton's flirtatious catchphrase is just one way he has drawn people to his state-of-the-art facilities in New York and Miami. Hugging the bend in the Chicago River, Chicago's 35,000-square-foot space blends modern design with the building's turn-of-the-century architecture; features include a yoga studio, Spin studio, group training classes, 30-minute circuit center and strength-training and cardio equipment. Other perks include child care, towel service and a lounge area with Internet access.

INCREDIBLY BAD SERVICE: BILLING PROBLEMS
by alonzoquijana
AVOID! I have had repeated billing problems. This place should be investigated for credit card fraud. Oh, the gym itself? OK. But lots of attitude. And again, recurring billing on card is a disaster, and no ammount of complaining to head office in NY will get your problem fixed. AVOID, AVOID. AVOID.
- Pros: Modern
- Cons: Dark. Attitude. BILLING PROBLEMS!!!

The Absolute Truth
by bronzbod
I'm a gym guy. I've read reviews on every gym in Chicago, and been a member of about 7 different ones. After walking through Barton a year ago, I still wasn't convinced it was for me. Then I read some reviews over the summer that were good and some not so good. Last month I finally jumped on board. So far, it's the best gym I've been a member of. Of course there are some pros and cons, and it's not always perfect, but there is something about this place that I look forward to. The lobby staff is super friendly. They greet me every day I'm in there. The place is spotless including the showers and steam room. The equipment is awesome. I haven't taken any of the classes yet, but they look pretty insane, and I actually see a lot of guys taking them. I've observed some of the training sessions, and I haven't seen a bad one yet. Not one trainer with a cell phone ! If you are looking for a serious place to workout, I recommend Bartons. If you are looking for absolute perfection every time you walk in, good luck in your search.

Credit Card Scam!!
by DavidJF
Beware of David Barton Gym. Once you join, they'll never stop charging your credit card -- no matter if you've filled out the proper paper work, spoken to the proper people, gotten verbal and written approvals, etc. They'll keep charging and charging and charging and charging. Watch out. It's a scam.
- Cons: fraudulent and illegal credit-card scam
