I was interested in student plan $40 initiation fee, $35/mo. I visited 4/17 and dealt with the woman at the counter. I repeatedly told her that I wanted the $40/$35 student plan. She handed me a contract for a 12 month plan, which I did not want. After going in circles with her for a bit of time, she took my credit card and fiddled with her computer. Then she handed me paperwork showing completely incorrect charges. I asked her to reverse them and fix the problem. Eventually, she gave up and got her manager, Tony, involved. Tony worked on the computer for a bit and at one point, I had several pending $64 charges on my card. Then he seemed to have the problem under control and he charged my card $40 and $18.72. Since $18.72 is more than 1/2 of $35, that charge didn't make any sense for half a month. I called Tony on 4/17 and told him that I had several authorizations on my card still. I asked if we could just forget it all and cancel the membership and refund everything, including the $40 and $18.72. He said no problem, and I emailed him a copy of the credit card bill showing the current state of it. On 4/18, two charges moved from authorization to posted - $40 and $18.72. I emailed a copy of the statement to Tony and requested that he refund the charges, as we had both agreed. It's now nearly two weeks later and I still have charges on my card. I have filed complaints with BBB and Illinois Attorney General. If they don't come to their senses soon, I'll file a lawsuit in small claims court. Having all these authorizations on my card made it impossible for me to shop for groceries for three days. I wish businesses were much more careful with charges that they post to customer cards. Accidental charges aren't just frustrating to see and resolve, they can have unanticipated consequences for cardholders.

Honestly, one of the cleanest gyms I've ever been to. The equipments all all pretty new and modern and I really liked the small studio room for people to come in and exercise. It also had a really good selection of equipments, including boxes, resistance bands, and weight racks. I didn't end up getting a membership since it was a bit far from my apartment and I didn't have a car on campus. However, I would definitely recommend it to students who are looking for ARC alternatives.

It has everything that any gym-goer could need, including plenty of barbells and free weights as well as machines and cable equipment for the weight lifters. For those seeking cardio, there's multiple treadmills, bikes, rowers, stairmasters, elliptical, and an entire yoga room for body movements. Objectively, one could not ask for me. I think the most impressive characteristic of this gym is how well it is kept up to date and clean. New equipment and replacements are commonplace, and the entire gym is always clean with plenty of disinfectant wipes around to clean machines (which everyone uses consistently). The staff are incredibly kind and accommodating and tend to engage with their gym-goers on occasion, which is always a nice touch for your local gym. Overall, definitely the nicest Anytime I've gone to. I love it here.

I have been an OTF member for several months and my experience has been perfect! I can also attest that the gym is quite popular. If it sucked so bad the 5am, 6am, and after-work classes would not be in such high demand. OTF Champaign is popular because the workouts are awesome, the coaches and staff are great, their class times are frequent and convenient, and the facility is clean and well-managed. As a 39-year-old woman who took a loooong hiatus from the gym during Covid, OTF in Champaign has motivated me to hit the gym again and I am seeing excellent results. Don't listen to the haters.

Otherwise - as an outsider, I really liked that the classes worked out together to do the WOD. There wasn't any side business going on (some gyms will have really competitive folks working out in the background while a class is going on and sometimes it can be intimidating and awkward).

If a machine breaks, it takes 6-8 weeks before it's fixed, walls are in need if patching and painting, lockers are dirty as well as sinks, and walls in the locker room.

A shame since it's close to my house and reasonably priced. One year later and this place continually goes downhill. Again, the only reason I continue to go here is it's four blocks from my house. It's such a great location and could be such a nice gym with a little TLC. Obviously the owner doesn't give a shit. You can tell, it's nearly empty most of the time.

The location is ideal. The staff is friendly. The clientele is generally friendly and low-key: all ages and degrees of fitness work out here. But I do think we deserve a bit more. Safe and operating (working) machines. Better, consistent maintenance on machines and building. Regularly replaced mats for stretching and floor work (I did not take a photo of the mats: of the few available, they are peely and punctured.) I will continue to subscribe to Charter Fitness Urbana for the time-being: as I mentioned, it's convenient and I suppose I am loathe to change (old dog and all that). But, honestly, I don't feel very appreciated and if they don't up their game, I will need to seek a cleaner, better maintenanced place to work out.

It has been 4 months since my first Pilates session at Dulak Pilates. I have always wanted to try…read moreit for years now and finally I said to myself its now or never. I chose Dulak Pilates because of its well known reputation in town as having the best instructors and a wonderful studio. Kelly is a stellar instructor. There isnt enough adjectives to describe how marvelous she is. She pushes me out of my comfort zone and believe I can do more than I thought I could. My body and mind is changing for the better. After just a few sessions with Kelly, I began to trust in her guidance completely. I feel exhilarated by the challenges in every session. Kelly is a body reader. She has the ability to sense if my muscles is working or not. If it doesn't (sometimes due to me not working hard enough) she would find ways to modify the exercise so I can feel the muscles Im supposed to be working on. She would often modify the exercise to fit my petite frame or my strained neck muscles. I learn to not short change myself and just tell her if I don't feel the mind-body connection working. I also learn that I better do it right and not cheat so she doesnt make me redo them (ahem the hug, the one hundred, the teasers, the elephant, the obliques twist and reach). Im pretty sure they will never get easier. Pilates always have a way to make one feel very humble. After a session a week with Kelly, I feel everything! every small intrinsic muscles has been fine tuned (my triceps, biceps, the abs to the obliques to the inner thighs and the glutes to even the back of the legs). I drive an hour once a week to Dulak Pilates Center to take my lesson. I might hate the drive but I have never ever regret a pilates session with Kelly. I walk out of the studio glad that I came, glad I gave it my all and glad that Kelly is my instructor who help me to strengthen not only my powerhouse but also my mental toughness. When I thought I couldn't hold my power house or squeeze my inner thighs any longer, Kelly would tell me to do it one more time. Thank you Kelly for teaching me that my body and mind are limitless and that I am capable of exceeding my own limit. Thank you for educating me about the biomechanics of human movement, and the importance of taking care of the body especially the core, the spine and all the joints. Thank you Kelly for your patience with me and for your passion for teaching. I recommend taking classes from Dulak Pilates Center because of their high quality instructors. I can attest that not only Kelly has a comprehensive educational training but she has also put in countless hours and energy to become a competent qualified teacher. Pilates is all about the integration and coordination of mind, body and spirit. Try it for yourself! You will fall in love with it like I did! The studio is running an offer for Saturday morning reformer classes for only $30 per class!!!. My only regret is that I wish I had taken Pilates sooner when I used to live in town! I would so go every day.
