Nice place to workout if you live in the area for the cost, it all depends on your specific needs. Some clubs in the area like charter are packed at the time I need a treadmill however the equipment is up to date unlike Sportplex Orland park. The equipment at sportsplex Orland park is WAY out of date! Every single treadmill at sportsplex are not level by any stretch of the imagination, I personally know many that left for that reason alone. I belong to 2 or three clubs at any given time. Palos health club has nice equipment because the people there are 50 to 99! Again, depends on your needs, no pun intended. Xsport is an Awsume gym, people, music, machines, cost. HOWEVER! During the past year or so the staff that accumulated there is AWFUL! Newer management, especially that regional manager "Ben" made me think twice about driving 20 min to workout each day. Numbers are falling, people moving on, etc all thanks to the newer managment. Ben is cold, evasive and controlling - I have heard roomers about xsport that i wont mention as hearsay, some situations that are , anyway, if you go, don't trust the emploies, leave it at that. That staff team is nothing without Johnny, since he left the place took a dive in that staff department. For the money and needs xsport is by far better than lifetime fitness. Lifetime fitness in Orland park is a meat market in my opinion. The things I see go on there, jeez. Again the staff at lifetime is about numbers. Don't complain! They will cancel you! The manger "Jim" is the phoniest person I ever met. Child care is Awsume now that Beth is gone, thank god she left! Now let's move Jim out of that place! Lifetime is way overpriced! They only care about you to join after that, they dont care if you leave or they cancel you. Its corp, all numbers and tricking investrors. The Managment only cares about "the team" not you. Jim has to be the worse GM they had, the last GM was fantastic. I think he is in burridge now. Again, another club changes the formula that worked! If you need child care and workout more than 3 times a week and you can afford it, go to lifetime. Be careful of staff, most are backstabbing fakes, stay away from the meat and greets.
Back to sportsplex. Great parking, nice mix of people and ages, close by and worth the cost. Music is hideous, especially the morning when they play some sort of "swing" or big band music, ARE YOU KIDDING SPORTSPLEX! Make sure you bring your iPod. Machines need an upgrade. Seriously this is Orland park, not oak forest. The taxes paid alone, we became a mini oakbrook over the years, I can't go near Lagrange road around Xmas time with all the traffic from people spending money at our stores!
That's it for now. This review was done on iPad while on the treadmill! read more
