It is difficult watching my daughter regress after just completing a success volleyball season with her school. My daughter said that her coach is "all talk and no teach" which is evident in how the girls play. My daughter advised me that her coach told the players that parents were complaining and the coach blamed the players as opposed to taking ownership that she lacks the skill to coach them. Every week they run the exact same drills and no actual teaching or coaching takes place. If my daughter and I was looking for recreational fun and games this would have been perfect however we were looking to enhance and develop skills. We didn't get that at Empower.

Most importantly, our daughter feels like she has found a second home at Big. The girls have a great sense of team and the environment is filled with fun, spirit days, dance offs, parades, team pride and friendships across levels. My daughter is learning what I view as important life lessons in discipline, hard work, overcoming obstacles, confidence and friendship. Great job Big!

I've tried plenty of gyms and this is by far my favorite. I can't say enough good things about…read moreEdward-Elmhurst fitness center. I love pretty much almost all the group fitness classes I've gone to-- the instructors are top notch. The facility is very CLEAN and staff is always pleasant. I love that I don't have to bring any locks or towels-- it's all there for you! I love all the amenities they offer and the variety of classes. The kids area is AMAZING! My kids LOVE going there! They do crafts, play sports, or just simply have fun in the humongous play structure area. I workout 5-6 times a week during a time in which it is rarely ever crowded and I love it. Basically, this gym offers all the amenities and appeal that Lifetime gym offers but for significantly less. So happy I decided on EE!

Members for almost 5 years now... Front desk is still the absolute rudest- it's like mind blowing…read morehow incredible rude they are. Please change your front desk staff - your members are greeted (well, not really) by the absolute rudest people. I can't even. It's awful. We pay a LOT for our membership and it's like insane how rude they are. Everyone talks about it/ it's shocking nothing has been done about it. If it wasn't for the therapy pool and the fact that it's practically across the street from us, we'd cancel our membership. Based on front desk alone. Absolutely awful. Equipment is subpar - they need mirrors in the weight section upstairs as well. WiFi is terrible as well if you plan to listen to anything on your phone while there too. The front desk though... man.. they're the worst.

Coaches beware!…read more Before you register your team for any tournaments or leagues here, do your homework and find out if any of the teams registered are affiliated with any of the owners of the facility. If they are, you can rest assured that you will stand zero chance of winning. This place is as corrupt as they come. When matched up against a team sponsored by Supreme Courts, be prepared to have your team not only outplay their opponent, but possibly referees who need to protect their future game assignments as well as the scorekeepers who deliberately tally personal fouls incorrectly by targeting your better players in an attempt to significantly limit their minutes. This place is a catalyst for everything that's wrong with today's youth sports culture. Don't waste your players' (and their families') time and money. There are many other quality facilities that can host your team that foster a fair and competitive environment. LET THE PLAYERS DECIDE THE OUTCOME OF GAMES! TREAT THE GAME WITH THE RESPECT IT DESERVES!

The techniques taught are top notch, and they also focus the intangibles of the game as well. If you are looking for genuine training for your child, M14 is the place to be. It's so nice to see a coach work directly with the kids for an entire session versus checking their phone. My son has done camps, strength training and privates. There are benefits to all of them. Give M14 a try!

Whitney made this experience extremely disappointing and honestly ruined my daughter's birthday…read moreparty. First, I had to pay for the party twice. I initially paid over the phone, and although the charge posted to my bank account, somehow it never registered with the park district. Because of that, I had to dispute the charge. To make matters worse, the park district is now trying to fight the dispute even though it was clearly a double charge situation. Before the party, I spoke with Whitney and was informed that extending the party to 5:30 PM would not be an issue because the final party slot was from 3:30-5:30 PM. The hosting itself was extremely disorganized. The kids did not begin playing games until nearly 4 PM, despite the party already being underway, and they were supposed to eat at 4:30 PM. Later, I asked again about extending the party to 5:30 PM, and the hosts stated, "We don't mind." While I left briefly to pick up pizza, I also spoke with Crystal at the front desk, who informed me she had spoken with Olivia, the host lead, and after a meeting near the front desk, everyone confirmed everything was fine regarding the extension. When I returned with the pizza, Crystal and both hosts again reassured me there were no issues and that the party could continue until 5:30 PM. Then at 4:53 PM, Whitney suddenly called and said, "Just to confirm, your party ends at 5 PM." At that point, I was beyond confused because every host, front desk employee, and supervisor I had spoken with had already confirmed otherwise. To make matters worse, once we were back in the party room, the hosts suddenly told me the kids could not eat in the room and instead had to eat in the hallway. My daughter was not even allowed to sing "Happy Birthday" properly in the room. I literally had to sing Happy Birthday to my daughter in the hallway. The entire experience felt chaotic, poorly communicated, and incredibly inconsiderate. It honestly felt like Whitney found every reason possible to make my daughter's special day difficult instead of enjoyable. Ironically, one of the hosts later apologized to me directly and even stated, "We really don't mind since there isn't another party." This completely contradicted what Whitney had been saying. First it was that another party was coming, then it changed to "custodial needs to come in." From the reservation process to the actual event, this was one of the worst party experiences I have ever had, and I deeply regret choosing this location for my daughter's birthday.
