Plus I wanted an option in case I had to fight a case of insomnia and couldn't go to sleep, and I need it to work out in the middle of the night. This anytime fitness is located near the Village Crossing Mall, off to the side on Central Avenue, away from the other stores. The person who registered me was super nice and friendly and gave me a tour of the place. The size of the gym is somewhat small, I would compare to a couple steps up from a hotel gym but slightly bigger. In terms of the equipment, it has several cardio machines, and a few squat racks, which doubles as a bench press if you set the height and bench properly. There's also some free weights, and free benches as well. What I look for at a gym is a place to do squats, deadlifts, bench press, and overhead press. Everything else is a bonus. They do have several machines, but nothing too serious for a good leg workout. But overall it gets the job done. There is no locker room per se, but there is three private bathrooms, which includes a sink, shower, and toilet. Overall, I would go here and recommend, if you're looking for a place that is 24 hours, but not as busy like an Xsport, with average equipment.

Athletes, this is an ideal place for you. If you're looking for a wide variety of selectorized units and other shiny objects you might be a little disappointed. Now if looking to build a body thats both fit and strong Evolution most certainly deserves a look. Personally this place has incredible potential if they ever decided to expand to a more "traditional" gym. But then again that's what makes this place special.

(The owners have gone to great lengths to create such a non threatening environment) This is a phenominal neighborhood business for all to use from the new mom trying to get back into shape to the competitve bodybuilder preparing for an upcoming event. Give'em a look and see for yourselves.

I've been going to LA Fitness for a while now, and overall it's been a solid gym experience…read more One of the biggest positives is the parking -- there's plenty of it, which makes it really convenient no matter what time you go. That alone makes a difference compared to other city gyms where you're circling the lot before even starting your workout. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. From the front desk to the floor staff, everyone's been approachable and professional whenever I've had questions or needed help. It can get pretty packed depending on the time of day, especially during peak after-work hours, so you might have to wait for certain machines. But if you go earlier in the morning or later at night, it's much more manageable. The sauna is a big plus. It's usually clean and well maintained, which is important. The locker rooms are also kept in good shape -- clean lockers, organized layout, and overall a comfortable space to get ready before or after workouts. Between the convenient parking, good staff, clean facilities, and solid amenities, it's a reliable spot to train.

I have been in and out of the gym for nearly two decades now and have had serious commitment issues when it comes to working out at an establishment. I believe that had a lot to do with the gyms I would attend as I could never find what felt like the right fit. This was the first location that I started to feel comfortable and was the most consistent with. It did get busier throughout the year because of the special they offered for teens during the school free months/summer but still had a good experience. I enjoy this location the most because of their friendly staff that stays on top of cleaning and refilling the towel paper dispensers. They also offer hydromassage and LED red light therapy for black card members at this location. Both are a great fit for my body and skin! They also have one of the best gym layouts in my opinion. COMPLETELY different vibes from alternate gyms. Most people attending here are really focused on themselves (me included) and really don't feel so judged as past experiences. Because of the great vibes I'm now down 20 lbs and have been the most consistent I've ever been to date. Can't thank them enough for being the starting point/kick off of self/life 180 improvement. They really deserve so much more credit !

I'm not new to working out with trainers, but I must say that Brittany is the best one I've had yet! I really like the straight up motivation and encouragement. She's very flexible with my schedule and can always do me in on the day I want. I also love the reminder texts I get the day prior. The style of training is crossfit. You never do the same workout. This way your body gets to use all it's muscles and challenges every time. I've actually seen results in my strength and endurance. I still have additional goals to achieve and I know I can get there with Twelve Training. I also like the atmosphere of the gym as well. It's not pretentious as some of the elite facilities. It's large enough to have a lot of variety of equipment as well not be so busy that you are stepping over other people. I never knew there were so many things you can do with a work out in addition to just weights! Great place to come if you are looking to get fit and stay fit!

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.
