If you're looking for an indoor tennis membership, Wheaton Sport Center (WSC) is an excellent…read morechoice. They have friendly staff, efficient service, and adequate facilities and equipment. For our family, WSC serves multiple purposes. My husband is an active tennis player who tries to play at least twice a week. Considering how brutally cold Chicago winters are, it wouldn't be feasible to play outdoors during the winter months. So with WSC, he has been able to find a community of players to play throughout the winter. On the weekends, my husband would give our young girls and cousins private tennis lessons. There are four, all year-round, indoor courts, and eight dome courts for the winter. We have been consistently going every weekend for the last four months and have yet to encounter any availability issues. In addition to tennis, our girls have also joined the swimming lessons. For level 3, there are usually 2-4 instructors. Thus far, we have had a good experience with Ms. Abby, Mr. Christopher, and Ms. Christina. The class size is generally around 8-12 kids depending on attendance. Knowing how young children are, it takes a ton of effort and patience to get them to listen to instructions. Huge kudos to these instructors for having that high-level patience! As for myself, I would utilize the gym equipment such as treadmills, ab machines, and weights. All of the equipment are well maintained and clean. WSC could get busy on the weekends but I have not had trouble with machine availability. All in all, WSC is a solid place for anybody looking for a place to play indoor tennis, have young children who are interested in swimming, and/or just trying to maintain healthy life choices.

It's by far one of the most affordable gyms around with friendly staff, professional trainers, excellent classes, a great selection of machines, equipment and facilities including pool, steam and sauna. Lately, however, some negatives have been marring the overall experience. VASA did a massive membership drive/upgrade at the end of 2025 which has increased foot traffic dramatically. It's rare to visit now and not have a wait to use machines (especially treadmills). And speaking of treadmills, there are currently 3 treadmills out of order, and it appears that 1 or 2 are missing, given the spacing in the first row of machines. My second and bigger criticism is the subpar housekeeping, specifically the men's locker room toilets. There has been an ongoing issue with at least one toilet being clogged by paper and waste. And often multiple stalls with no toilet paper. There has been one stall marked "out of order" for a week. Yesterday and today there was another toilet clogged, and the other two stalls with no paper. Other times I've seen toilets clogged and water that has overflowed. Really disgusting to walk through that! Overall, I give this gym 4 stars for equipment and facilities offered. Sadly, they deserve 1 star for maintenance and housekeeping.

This has gone in and out over the few years I've been a member. - parking and getting into the gym is no fuss and very close - shower rooms are private, have lockable doors, complete with shower, sink, countertop, shampoo, bodywash, etc., although half the time the faucets don't work. - tv's on the treadmills and steppers...and they usually work - they usually have apples (but only apples) out Negatives - there are lockers, but you can't lock them, even if you have your own padlock, so you have to carry your phone, wallet, and keys with you. - faucet in the men's bathroom and most of the shower rooms do not work half the time (been like that for years)...usually the women's bathroom faucet works. I'm only talking about the sink faucets, not the shower water. - takes awhile for broken equipment to get fixed properly (e.g., the elliptical had been sounding like it's about to fall apart for a few months now). I think they tend to take action only when hotel guests say something. - no steam room or sauna - they have towels, but they sometimes smell pretty rough, like they didn't get washed well. Sometimes old makeup on them.

Sergio the Owner is not just knowledgeable--he truly cares about each athlete's progress, health, and mindset. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned competitor, he meets you where you are and pushes you in the most encouraging, professional way. The facility itself is top-tier. It's clean, well-equipped, and full of great energy. You don't just get stronger here--you grow as a person and athlete. I'm grateful to be a part of this community. 10/10 would recommend to anyone serious about powerlifting or just wanting to level up in life.

I found Sergio's number on the Surge To New Levels Gym website and called about dropping in. It was quick and easy, he left the door unlocked for me and it was a simple sign in policy with the $10 drop-in rate (Venmo, quick-pay, or cash). The gym was a great size with absolutely everything you need to get your lift in; whether that be Olympic lifting or powerlifting (CrossFit workout friendly too). It was busy on a Saturday morning but there was plenty of equipment and space for everyone. The gym has a spectacular vibe with great music blasting, it's simply impossible to not want to lift heavy! This spot is a hidden gem and I highly recommend that you drop in during your next visit or switch your current gym membership all together.

This location is 20+ years old and lots of newer clubs going in and send this one is being neglected.

Classes were great but they keep changing formats and if there are less than 12-15 in a class they cut the class. For the price being paid they should hold class even if 5 people sign up. So many trainers around for a fee but classes seem to be getting limited compared to the newer gyms. Still going due to location but it needs some love!

As stated before, I hardly ever review. I have to feel VERY strongly about someplace before I'll…read morewrite a review. I feel very strongly about this place, and I'm tired of seeing the negative griping reviews about dumb stuff, so now I'll leave an opinion. First of all, yeah, it IS expensive. However, I don't understand why people who are actual members of the club would complain about this. It's not like they tranquilize you, haul you in the door, and then get you to sign a contract that you've never seen the price on. No one makes you hand over the credit card. The price isn't a surprise. There are gyms for everyone, in all price ranges. So here's the deal, if you think it's too expensive, then DON'T PAY FOR IT. Don't complain about it. Just go somewhere else. You can do bare bones ten bucks a month at some local chain gyms. However, I'm pretty sure the people who are complaining about how expensive HT is, would go to one of those and complain about how dirty it is or the lack of amenities or something. Secondly, yeah, there are a lot of kids. Kids are people. They are small people, but they're people nonetheless. We pay dues for our children, just like we pay dues for ourselves, so they have every right to be there. Some of us pay the expensive price BECAUSE of our kids. The child care is stellar. I actually found HT by typing "gyms with child care that doesn't suck" into Google. True story. If you're all good with a teenager in a back room watching your kids, or you don't have kids to watch, then maybe you should go to aforementioned chain gym for ten bucks a month. I digress... The staff genuinely care about the children. They get books and crafts and outdoor play time. Is it really that big of a deal that you can hear happy children playing while you're upstairs? I find the dude trying to lift 50 pounds more than he really can, grunting, yelling, and dropping shit to be far more annoying. BUT! Be glad, for there is a solution. Put in a pair of earbuds and listen to some music. Voila, problem solved. You're welcome. I also find it astonishing that people are complaining because people are *gasp* USING the track. It really sucks that they're in your way. But people are at all levels of fit, and not everyone has your running prowess. Some people walk. Some people jog. Some people run damned fast. Some people walk in pairs. Like everywhere else, if you are coming around a corner, and someone is in your lane, you simply need to call out, "On your left", and people will move over. I know it's hard to accept that you aren't the only person in the world, but well...you're not. And as for the people complaining about the large amounts of fat people and old people, well shame on you. You should be jumping up and down for joy. People are getting fit. Losing weight. Taking care of themselves well into old age. Much less of your precious tax dollars you'll have to spend later on taking care of "sick fat old people". Just sayin'. Clearly, I love this place. The child care staff is great. I can take my toddlers into the pool. I can relax in the hot tub post personal training session. I love that the staff is so hugely diverse - so many different ethnicities, both genders, all sizes, a wide range of ages. The staff is friendly, professional, and fun. The personal trainers are a.m.a.z.i.n.g.!! They'll help you and answer questions, even if you aren't in one of their classes or paying them for private sessions. And when you do sign on, they tailor activities just for you and your skill set, and then they push you hard, past what you could do and into what you are capable of doing. Signing up for personal training sessions was one of the best things I've ever done. There's a salon (Billie gives a mean haircut!) and spa. Hot tubs, two pools, sauna, steam room. There is shampoo, soap, and conditioner in the showers. Towels are provided. There's a pro shop and cafe/juice bar. There are SO MANY classes to choose from. There are, blow dryers, q-tips, deodorant, and combs provided in the locker room. There are several curtained off, private dressing stations in the locker room, as well, for the more modest among us. It's always clean. It's nicely decorated. I really don't understand people who continue to pay and still complain. It's not like getting a shitty meal at a restaurant. You complain. You make your unhappiness known. Then you DON'T GO BACK. Why keep paying the high dues, keep showing up to someplace you obviously think has so many flaws, and keep complaining about it. Of course, you're allowed to not like the place. You're allowed to think they do everything wrong. But if that's the case, then WHY do you go back? Yup. Don't get it. Wow this is long. TL;DR: It's a great place. The dues are high, but as the saying goes, you do get what you pay for. All the people complaining about trivial and petty things are entitled whiny wankers.
