The space is perfect for people who want to do personal training or teach their own classes. They have a parking lot behind the building for paid parking, street parking, and even access to the bank parking lot early in the morning before it opens. The facility has quiet bathrooms with showers and a lower level with additional training areas and fitness equipment. It's an ideal spot for someone who prefers supporting a locally owned business instead of major chains like Planet Fitness or Snap. This gym really offers a unique experience, especially being a Chicago-based business!

I had to cut out quite a bit of my review as it was to long to Yelp. Here are the highlights:…read more - Member etiquette and Cleanliness: I can't tell you how many times someone takes something I'm using when my stuff is sitting right there OR members use the benches as a personal locker for personal items while they aren't using it for a workout. This even happens when trainers are on the room and sometimes it's the trainers themselves! Trainers also eat warm meals in the gym so you have to smell their meal while you work out. Often barbells and plates are not put back at all, even with a trainer present, dumbbell shelf is a mess. Crumpled paper towel, piles of lifting chalk, empty bottles, remnants of the awful yoga mats litter the ground. No in person management present just trainers, I've never seen so many trainers in one gym before. The lack of in person management shows. Sometimes there's no TP in the bathroom for example in the winter the metal stairs will not be shoveled for snow or salted for ice. A couple of times I have slid on the ice. There's not even a bag around for members to do it themselves. -The Actual Space: is quite limited. The downstairs free weight area is rather small and if even 5 people are down there the place feels full and this is actually a recent improvement from the upstairs room. It's also spread out over 3 main rooms on two floors so there's a lot of walking to get to different equipment and for many you cant switch without going down a flight of stairs. The free weight area feels dungeon like with no windows and a low ceiling. There are windows in the bjj area you can kind of see from the doors but it's not the same. It feels like your lifting in a basement (and you are). It also smells like rubber to the point I've gotten headaches and has poor ventilation. It also amplifies sound so it's overwhelming with trainers, music etc going. The vibe feels more like your lifting in your friends home gym in his unfinished basement with equipment he got at a garage sale then working out in a professional facility. The space itself isn't well maintained either. The fire extinguisher upstairs has broken glass that's sharp and jagged just chilling for over a year now (was like that before I joined), plates and dumbbell's are left out, or put back incorrectly, piles of lifting chalk, drinks etc.. can be found on the floor. Members don't rerack anything (which is true for every gym in the Hyde park area). There's some cube drawers and a shoe rack but no locker room. So, you're carrying all your stuff with you throughout your workout since you can't lock anything up. There is a bathroom with a single shower and toilet in a separate room. -The Equipment: There is an overall lack of machines. There is almost a full set of leg machines but is missing calf. The only upper body machines are a chest press and assisted dip/pullup and cable machines. No machines or abs, arms, shoulders, other muscles like you would see in other gyms. There are 4 squat racks, 1 smith machine, 1 leg press, 1 set of dumbbells (5 pound increments) so minimal to the amount of people using them. No preacher curl rack, no deadlift racks. You'll use the 2 main squat racks for most of our workout and so does everyone else. The equipment is a mismatch of quality. 2 of the squat racks are really nice like you would expect in a professional gym. 2 are small and wobbly like you would expect in a home basement gym. The machines are a mismatch of brand and colors. It feels like all the equipment was purchased used at a garage sale. Not a big deal if it was maintained well but it's not. Not all machine plates are in pounds. There are not enough weight plates to go around. If someone's going heavy on the leg press good luck on a squat rack. Similarly, there are not enough barbells downstairs. There is one barbell that's broken and has been laying on the floor for months. If one person is deadlifting, there are not enough for the racks. They are also inconsistent some are rubber, some are iron, some have handles. Your stack will always look lopsided. Only 1 pair of 2.5 plates in the whole gym. The equipment isn't in great shape. Bent out of shape barbells, some adjustable benches are bent at certain holes making them dangerous. Clips don't work and plates slide off. -My biggest issue: large group fitness classes from about 5am to 9am most days as well as evening prime time after work (think). This means if you're a lone wolf free weightlifter like me who goes in the morning your competing with sometimes 10 to 15 other people in a group class. You won't get a squat rack, all the dumbbell's are taken etc.. It's loud and chaotic and you'll adjust your planned workout every day to take whatever is left over. -The gym cost is $75 a month, up to $40 more than chain gyms in the area which are as low as $10 - $35 and I just can't justify the cost for what you get.

For the amount of kids that they service, there really needs to be a cleaning crew there daily and maintenance there weekly. The lobby should be mopped multiple times a day with all the bare feet walking through there and bathrooms given attention multiple times a day. One of the bathroom soap dispenses was out for a week!! and the receptionist told me she would tell the cleaning crew. My jaw dropped when I heard they have a crew, because the nooks and crannies of lobby and bathrooms do not appear to ever be clean. Also, with all the traffic, both front doors need to be unlocked and accessible, On a positive note, my 9 y/o daughter enjoys classes here.

We have been in love with all their coaches!!! They all truly are passionate about coaching and you can tell! Also, anyone that is patient with my active nugget and firm but fair is cool by me!! They recently changed their policies so you pay monthly, which for us works out well. In the long run it makes sense where If your child is ready to move to the next level, you don't have to wait until the current session is over for them to move. Our first coach was coach Tonda who set the bar WAYYYYYY high! She is amazing and spunky and we love love loved her! We have Coach Beth who is amazing and just so good and we also have Coach Eric who I love has his own style of teaching which is awesome and he is so amazing with the kids!!! I can't forget about Coach Matt who we haven't officially had but my daughter adores him! I cannot wait to see my baby grow with Bartlett gymnastics! If you want an amazing facility with wonderful staff and coaches then check them out! You won't be disappointed!

I regret to inform my fellow members at ohare crossfit that i am no longer a member there. i would…read moreimagine, that as a business owner who values their members that they would do the same. Unfortunately this is not the case at O'hare crossfit. I spoke with a coworker of Angelo's on Friday March 13 about some sexually inappropriate comments that Angelo Sisco had made during the course of the class hoping to nip it in the bud. Unfortunately, on Monday March 15 Angelo continued to make some more comments that I alone disapproved of and made me feel uncomfortable, bordering on the line of sexual harassment. I thought about his comments for the next day and decided to text him letting him know that I disapproved of his comments that were sexual in nature while I was working out in the same class as my dad and if he'd refrain from making such comments while I was working out with my dad. He said he would get back to me the following afternoon but never did. I went in to class today and was informed that my membership had been cancelled without any explanation. I considered Angelo a close friend for many years and never discredited him from helping me get to where I'm at today. If, as a business owner, let alone a friend, you cannot communicate with your clients or your friends in an open manner and immediately ban them from your business without hearing or listening to their concerns then you should not be in business. I have seen this person's true colors and how he operates in situations where he is in the wrong. I went in today with the best intentions hoping to put this behind us, as it was not as drastic or nearly dramatic as to what he made it out to be however, I feel that in order to protect my good character and forewarn any other client that may be offended or have any valid concerns to please proceed with caution. I never attacked his character, for he has none. I am disheartened that someone would go to such extremes but I do understand and people that do not conduct themselves in a professional and honorable manner in front of clients own family and friends is one that should not be trusted. It is important to own up to your actions, especially in moments when you are wrong. No one is perfect. I have seen a side of this person and am shocked to learn that he is the complete opposite what he practices and preaches. I have learned a valuable lesson and that is to always watch what comes out of my mouth, treat people with the utmost respect that I value and care about and own your mistakes. I hope no one ever has to experience the disgusting nature of this person like I did. Furthermore, I don't expect anyone to quit either. I just want to put out there my experience after having been a member for so many years and the abhorrent treatment I received.
