I've tried alot of gyms in my workout journey, from the cheapest to the most expensive. This is the…read moremost expensive gym membership I have ever gotten and the reason being is because I wanted to reduce the chances of having a packed time at the gym, whether that's in the morning or night. I currently go at 6 am and while it is a little busy at this time, surrounding yourself with people here ( who are in great shape ) give you the motivation to try harder. That's men and women who are here to achieve goals or stay in shape. I haven't really seen anyone who seemed like a meathead because this environment isn't really made for that. The staff here, from who I met, are great! Ive gotten trained in boxing by Joe which was a pretty difficult workout. He is, unfortunately and fortunately, now fitness director so training with him may be difficult. Gym equipment is always in service except a few exceptions which was fixed by the next day. All the equipment is top of the line also. All treadmills are life fitness brand and have screens. They have a total of 8 stairmasters, a Jacobs ladder, 2 fan bikes, 5 row machines, and 2 self propelled treadmills. While I'm writing this review, they are also expanding by adding more squat racks. Currently, they have 2 hard wood powerlifting sections and a squat rack on the bottom floor. On the 2nd floor, they have 2 squat racks. As for services, the 3rd floor is where the locker room, indoor pool, BAR, and outdoor pool are. Yup, I said bar. At first, I thought this was a weird thing to have in a gym but, apparently during the summer, they have pool parties which is kinda cool. Unfortunately, I've never gotten a massage or anything of that matter from here. The reason why I took away a star - -It's expensive ( I pay $100 a month ) -I had one bad incident with staff as they thought I was just trying to use the bathroom as I might not be ffc material but, after I checked in, they showed me where it was. -Sometimes there are a decent amount of teens here who have no gym etiquette.

Nice place, nice location, but the steam room seems to be always broken. Last time it took a month…read moreto fix, this time it's been 2 weeks with no end in site. And if the steam room is the main reason you go there then it definitely is not worth the monthly dues, especially when it's broken.

E-Town Fitness is a great gym where the trainers/coaches really care about you no matter your level…read moreof fitness. We're both retired and my wife and I have been coming here, enrolled in the semi-private lesson program, for almost 6 months. There has been a notable improvement in both of our strength, balance and endurance. Most importantly neither of us has hurt ourselves under the guidance of Mark, Jenn & Tommy. If you want a gym with no coaching this may not be the right place, but if you want coaches who really do their job and protect you from injury and guide you in proper form, etc. then this is the right gym for you. Group lessons are also available at a lower price point if that suits you better. It isn't cheap compared to a basic, run of the mill gym, with zero supervision or guidance, but you get what you pay for. What's the price tag on good health and being able to actively go thru the day doing what you want AND avoiding injuries and the side effects of bad health? I'll bet in the end this is MUCH less expensive!!

I joined E-Town Fitness a couple years ago after several years of not working out and have finally…read morefound a place that feels right. I started with two workouts a week and now attend 3-4 times weekly. The sessions are challenging but can be adjusted for any fitness level, which made it easy to stay consistent. The coaches are professional, motivating, and do a great job teaching proper form while keeping the sessions fun and varied. The overall atmosphere and sense of community have been a huge bonus to my fitness routine.

We are blessed with several independent workout and yoga studios in our area, and you've got to…read morefind the one that works best for you. Luckily, I found and fell in love with Corepower Yoga! Though I've loved and done yoga for over 10 years, it was never a regular practice - I'd do it as a treat or a rest day from a busy workout week. Truth is, I never really looked at yoga as being something that could replace my regular running, weights, and boot camp workouts. This girl has to work up a sweat! And I never fail to get hot and sweaty at CPY! This is the first time in all these years that I have done yoga regularly - three to five times a week for a year a half now! - and the benefits have been abundant! Not only have I replaced some of my hardcore workouts with yoga, I also have fallen in love with yoga. I now consider myself a yogi and have found much more than just the physical benefits of this practice. My regular yoga practice helped to calm me during last year, when my father was very ill and passed away. It also has made me a much more grateful and happy person, and has rid me of much of my anxiety. CPY makes it easy for me to be a yogi - there are a ton of classes around the clock every day of the week, making it simple for me to get there as much as I want. And their instructors are fabulous! I've yet to have taken a mediocre, much less bad class here! Quite honestly, I have several favorite instructors that are so good that I make sure I make their classes weekly - but I know there are plenty more who I need to try. Also, the studio manager, Elissa, is absolutely wonderful and goes out of her way to welcome everyone and make them feel a part of the community. Yes, they are part of a chain. But it's a chain that does good. The suburban locations of CPY are actually owned by a franchisee, and they put their own flavor and unique ideas in practice here. Like the cool lemon lavender cloths they put on your sweaty forehead during savasana. They offer a variety of classes, so you can get a cardio, weight, or just traditional yoga workout in. I love the power vinyasa classes and attend C2 and C3 classes regularly. Though I've definitely still have a long road in progressing my practice, I've learned how to do several arm balances that I could not even attempt when I started. Each instructor is great at working with you during class, and talking to you after class to help you progress. They also hold a variety of great workshops at each location, such as the Gong Bath we attended several weeks ago, and the Yin Yoga Restorative class. Also, it's super clean (every three hours!) and has a very zen atmostphere. It's my place to relax, recharge, and still get a great workout in. I am so happy that Corepower has come to Elmhurst, and I consider myself to be a thankful member of this yoga community. Did I mention that you can attend any Corepower location if you are a Black Tag Member? It's truly the best deal if you plan on attending regularly - I regularly go to one of my fav instructor's classes at their Hinsdale location; and I went to CPY in Boulder during a recent vacation.

I've been searching on and off for the perfect yoga studio: one with early morning and after-work…read moreclasses, a variety of classes, clean bathrooms with showers, and reasonable prices. You'd think with all the fitness centers and yoga studios out there, that it wouldn't be hard to find something that fit that criteria for me. Unfortunately, it is. Then I heard about CorePower. I actually heard about CorePower a couple years ago from a friend in Colorado, but there were no studios near me. In the past few year, I've noticed more CorePower studios opening up into the suburbs of Chicago. Finally, last fall, I signed up here for the trial week of free yoga. The first class I took was lovely. The heat was turned up (kind of unexpected -- it wasn't a heated class), the lights were dim, the studio was small, and I left feeling wonderful. I didn't like, however, how the instructor spent most of her time talking & walking around instead of participating in the full workout with us. I guess that's a matter of personal preference, though. She did stop to show us certain poses or to correct us if we needed to fix ours. The class ended with a lavender-soaked cool towel across the forehead. It was so nice. The next few classes I took by different instructors were all very similar. I would have liked a little more variety. Routine is nice, but so is change. Then again, you can only experience so much in a week... This CorePower location is great: clean showers, clean locker rooms (bring your own lock), and a nice little area in the front to sit and relax or buy some [expensive] yoga clothes and accessories. This location also has its' own parking lot (with three-hour free parking) which is a plus in downtown Elmhurst. At least I know I won't have to worry about parking whenever I'm here. As much as I wanted to, I didn't sign up for the membership. Although $100-120 a month (I cannot recall the exact amount) is very good for a yoga studio, it just wasn't in my budget. Maybe some day....

Wha-laaa YBD Elmhurst opened up sometime in October of 2013 and it's almost a carbon copy of their Wheaton location. How can a fitness studio be so spanking clean and fresh? I don't know about the men's locker room, but the women's freaking rocks! Hair dryers, shampoo/conditioner, hair products, HAIR TIES!, I mean you name it and they'll probably have it. It's so clean that I feel comfortable walking around barefoot, which I would never have done at big chain gyms. I've done mainly the level 2 classes, have yet to get in for a sculpt class (my favorite), but the instructors have always been knowledgeable and provides modification for the harder movements. As a CrossFitter I truly believe CrossFit and Yoga are meant to be. My muscles are really tight and sore from CrossFit and although it hurts to stretch them it's a good pain. Yoga allows me to relax my muscles and stretch out all the sore spots. I recommend YBD to all levels of Yogis especially since you can try them out for free for a whole week! I mean what's better than free?
