In comparison to other gyms, I think the Pavilion Fitness Center has a great value. I tried another…read moregym that cost about the same amount (I pay $25/month for a student membership, 1 month free if you pay in full), and the amenities I received at the other gym completely paled in comparison to what I get here at the Pavilion. Here, I get free towel service, free fitness classes, free access to the indoor/outdoor pool and sauna/hot tub**, free access to the indoor track, and free locker rental (which comes with a lock, unlike some places where you have to bring your own). **Note: The Pavilion has closed down all of the aquatic facilities here for renovation for about a year. That means that the pool access that was supposed to come with my membership is no longer valid. However, I will say that they have been pretty accommodating about this; they are letting people cancel their membership without a fee due to the pool closings, and they are offering some discounts at nearby pool facilities as well. If you compare the Pavilion to a big gym like Lifetime Fitness, the big gym probably has nicer bathrooms/showers, is bigger, and is open at all hours, but places like Lifetime also cost much, much more. Personally, I don't need a gym that is open 24 hours because I just go after work, and I like not having to fight for the machines here at the Pavilion. Even on its most crowded days, I can usually get the machine I want or only have to wait a few minutes to grab it. I should mention too that I have seen several new machines at the Pavilion in the year or so that I've been a member here, so you can tell that they keep up-to-date with the machinery. I also recently started attending the classes they offer with membership here. They are fun, and they don't get packed and crowded like some other workout classes I've gone to. I regret not coming to these classes sooner! My only complaint here is about the shower process. Sometimes it takes a while for the shower to warm up, and I can't seem to get it to be as hot as I want it. Also, I kind of wish they would change their shower curtains and maybe install regular hair dryers rather than just those hand dryers. I'd also like for them to invest in some bigger towels so my butt doesn't hang out. That'd be great. But, these are pretty minor complaints and I'd rather live with this and pay the amount I'm paying than pay double for something only slightly nicer. If you're a resident of Elk Grove Village, I would definitely recommend gym membership here (although maybe wait for the pool to reopen if that's a factor for you). ---Update--- They got brand new showers - hurrah!

The equipment here is old and run down but generally usable. Peolple at front desk are friendly and…read moreit's usually not too crowded during the daytime when I have been there. Worst part here is the cleanlinest. I don't expect much from gyms as far as being clean but this place is disgusting from the gym itself to the lockeroom and showers. I'm starting to think LA Fitness took over the X-Port locations to run them into the ground and then close them. Nothing like eliminating your competition. LA Fitness really needs to step up and do something with the former X-Port locations I've been to this one and the one on Belmont and Lincoln in Chicago and both seem very run down and dirty.

Giving a bit of the benefit of the doubt here, as this location is mid-flight on its transition…read morefrom Xsport to LA Fitness. That said, it definitely needs some TLC. The menus room is missing about half of the lock rings on the lockers, and two of the urinals are out of service - presumably leading to the vague bathroom smell in the locker room. From an equipment perspective, it seems to be well maintained and/or relatively new. There is a basketball court and plenty of benches/free weights. Day pass is $20 - inline with most places. If you're in town and need to do some lifting, this is a good spot for it.

This has got to be the worst Crunch Fitness I have been to across the US…read more - extremely crowded space. They've squeezed to much equipment and no where to move. - loads of teenage patrons not working out and screwing around. Almost caused someone to drop a barbell on their throat and hit multiple people at the Dumbell rack. Staff did not do a thing. - EXTREMELY grungy and dirty. The platforms have so much build up on them, my weight lifting shoes were sliding around. I've not seen a single thing cleaned. - inattentive staff - playing on cellphones and headphones while people are trying to get their attention. If you're looking for a place to workout, avoid this at all costs!

Michael is very patient and knowledgeable, he is always there to help and push you forward. Everyone is very friendly at the gym, the trainers actually care about you and your results, instead of always trying to sell you services like at other gyms. This is the best money I have spent and invested on myself.
