CS&C is the place in Chicago to go if you want to get strong AF. The fact is, that Dave (the owner…read moreand head trainer) subscribes to the best philosophy when it comes to lifting weights: "If it is complicated- you're doing it wrong. Commit to your training, eat and sleep like it. And you will get stronger." CS&C is a Starting Strength gym, which means that the focus is on three main lifts: squat, deadlift, and press. Other lifts are utilized when they are useful (bench, power cleans, etc.) for increasing strength. Dave and Karl's focus is on getting athletes to do the lifts right, which ultimately protects against injury. In the run up to my latest powerlifting meet, Dave sorted out my deadlift and Karl helped me with my bench. This isn't a place where you're gonna get a soy machiato frappacino with skinny whip after doing a set of quarter squats in the Smith machine or bicep curls in the rack. Honestly, if you wanna be a menace to society, go do that somewhere else. This is a place where you're going to get strong. If you listen to the coaches and put in the work, your squat, deadlift, and press numbers will ALL go up. And you'll be harder to kill, which if we're honest, is all anyone really wants.

Review of Dave the coach: I met Dave when I was doing…read morecrossfit at another gym and he coached the Power track. I just happened to stumble into the class about 2ish years ago because I came at the wrong time. What I thought was a section of the crossfit class turned out to be a power lifting class. Since then I have fallen in love with the sport and have done multiple power lifting competitions. A big part of that was Dave. He explains things really well and is very knowledgeable. Even though the crossfit gym location was no longer convenient for me, I still kept coming and doing programs because of Dave. I am NOT the easiest of clients. I complain and make excuses all the time. Dave would calmly call me on my BS without being condescending. I was very excited for him when he opened his own facility at Chicago Strength and Conditioning. And even though this location is even MORE inconvenient for me, I still reach out to Dave for assistance. I utilized him for a great year long nutrition program. I signed up for 3 month program to help with a competition. Dave is my go to whenever I have questions or need advice about lifting. As a coach he's great and has help me improve significantly in all my lifts. He's worth every penny I have given. Review of the gym: I have only been to the gym a couple times since it's not near me and I do a lot of online programming. So I can't speak on membership pricing or local competitors. It may be small but it packs a punch. Each rack(I think there are 6 total) has it's own set of weights. And since the place is fairly new, the equipment is NICE! Recently, I showed up on a Saturday morning to get some in-person coaching. At first is was just me but by the time I was leaving, there was about 6 or 7 people there. It was intimate but I definitely didn't feel cramped. Everyone there was super nice and supportive of each other. There were people of all ages, strengths and sizes. All the coaches and athletes came up to me and introduced themselves. The few times I have been there, I really liked. If I didn't live so far away, I would totally attend this gym.

I was on a weird schedule since I was moving at the end of the month and Joe was awesome to let me try out the facilities for a couple days and then sign me up for a really flexible plan that gave me a good place to work out up until my moving day. It's pretty hard to find gyms that are that flexible with memberships, they all usually have cancellation fees or weird clauses to sign up etc.. But Iron Mine Gym was exactly what I was looking for in terms of a good neighborhood gym that has everything you need and doesn't charge you for anything you don't. Also, Bo, the dog is awesome and definitely adds a great element of atmosphere to the place whether he's doing his own cone attacking workouts (ha!) or just lounging around. Good equipment, friendly staff and patrons, easy parking, won't break the bank. Check it out!

So what's the difference between regular membership and black card membership when you have the black card spa closed for months. Have tried going to other locations like glenview and Morton grove locations and all are trash. Never have a representative at the desk to check you in for black card amenities which makes 0 sense. You can scan and walk in to the gym but you need supervision when you scan in and want to use black card amenities, requiring an employees assistance. This gym does not have adequate machinery. They have 1 machine that everyone uses and 10 machines no one will ever touch. Advertises judgement / hostile free environments but allows creeps to sit at machines for 30-60 minutes at a time , not doing a single exercise besides moving their eyes and thumbs. Disgusting environment. Have emailed and called numerous times to request refund and cancel membership, they refuse to by playing the franchise game or constantly saying a manager is unavailable. Absolute horse dukey of a gym. It's like someone who has no idea what a gym even is was told to design and run these gyms. 0/10.
