The gym is well equiped, but the price is too high. I never climbed the wall, which costs extra anyway. The locker room is built so with no space to change. The area around the sauna and hot tub is always wet. And the staff is just rude. Really only went there because its across the street from work but when I took another job I joined another gym, for much less and got much more.

Pros: Location

Cons: rude staff, high price

Love the wide variety of classes- and the instructors are usually really good. This place also has a great lap pool and raquetball courts- which are often hard to come by. The weight room is not a meat market and the individual TVs on each machine make your work-out pass quickly. The food and juice bar serve pretty high quality meals. Locker rooms are very nice. Front Desk Staff could stand to be a little bit more friendly and helpful.

While facility itself is impressive, front desk can be downright rude. Management at times has been unresponsive and/or unfriendly. I am not the only member who has remained at club solely because of location.

Pros: Personal Training

Cons: , Front Desk

This club is great! Perfect location between my office and home...classes are included and not crowded...and I didn't have to sign a contract, their memberships are month to month. With my corporate discount I'm paying next to nothing.

Pros: no crowds, monthly memberships, classes

These gyms are homey but they are dumps. Obviously built in the 70's and only given average upkeep. Machines are wobbly and the walls dirty. They do have good locations

Pros: location

Cons: old, dirty

WE LOVE THIS CLUB! The programs are great, cool staff and the location is right around the corner from our condo! Keep up the good work!

Pros: latest equipment, great programs

Cons: parking issues

Editor's Review

Old-school workouts like racquet sports, swimming and actual running trump the latest technoyogaerobic hybrids and machinery.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

If the rather steep membership fees scare you, multiply the value with the multi-club option, which gives you access to Lakeshore Athletic's three other locations (in Lincoln Park and around downtown) as well as to several exclusive supper clubs.
