Facility is clean but does not have a basketball court or sauna. 80% of the time I just end up doing cardio because I do not want to wait for equipment and have a 2 hour work out.

I got a membership at LA fitness about two years ago and I have been going to this gym on a…read moreconsistent basis. I usually go in the morning at around 5:30 AM before work as the gym is usually packed during the evening. The gym equipment is great, and the gym is very spacious, but even in the mornings, I would say the place gets a little packed. The bathroom area is clean for the most part, but it does get dirty during busy time. All in all I would say you get what you paid for, it isn't the best gym, but it'll definitely work for most people.

It's a great little place fully equipped and staffed with really knowledgeable trainers. You can't help but love Lina and Pedro (the owners) 2 people truly dedicated to there members. What it lacks in size and flash, more than makes up for it with there welcoming, unintimadating atmosphere. (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.

Very often I've felt like a sardine in a can. None of the equipment is bolted down and while there is an honesty policy for members to clean the equipment after use, I have never seen an employee clean, sweep or vacuum the facilities.

They are always striving to stay on top of the latest fitness and wellness research. The new wellness program that has been integrated has been amazing! Amy Chase and Richard are a dream duo in this! The instructors are top notch! Ann Stehr, Nicole Belica, Ally Shanahan, Sarah and Derick are leading the charges full force and offer some amazing classes! They are all experts in their field! Alex Johnson at the front desk (Even though I have not seen him in a bit)? Always is there with a friendly face and always is willing to help out with members problems and questions! Val is always a friendly face and there for any members questions and concerns. She has been a great addition to the Chicago location! I appreciate all that midtown offers myself and my family

Plenty of exercise machines and programs for work out 6. Last but not the least, despite all the negative reviews I think the staff is amazing and deserves kudos The not so good: 1. For the price, not really worth it when you consider you have to pay additional $$$ for tennis, Pilates etc 2. Multiple people have shared my observation that the yoga program is below average and my partner attended one class and never went back because of an abrasive the yoga instructor. Overall if you have additional $$$ and don't mind paying more than what you are getting (like the Bucktown housing market) then you will certainly enjoy this place. If you're looking for something that makes sense from a value perspective then there are other options.

When I was a member here, they literally had one filthy towel hanging on a hook next to the…read moresanitizer, and that is how you were supposed to wipe down the equipment. I brought my concerns about them not providing clean towels to wipe down equipment to the staff member on duty, and I was told that we can all share one towel, but don't worry, because they will wash it every day. He told me the gym was too small to provide members with towels to wipe themselves with. OK fine. But the equipment needs to be wiped down after each use, and using the same dirty towel for everyone, all day, is not accomplishing that. I've never seen another gym do this. I was a member here for a year, and every other week one of the ellipticals or stationary bikes was broken. In such a small gym, this is very inconvenient.

It's a smaller gym, but I feel like if you come in with a purpose it isn't so bad. One suggestion to management perhaps would be in regards with employees and eating at the front desk. Like I mentioned before, the space is small and when employees eat, for example, Taco Bell--or anything with a heated aroma, the entire gym smells like a fast food joint. It the most ideal workout conditions when it smells like your at a food court.

I really like this gym. My insurance covers membership at other gyms but not this one, so I have to…read morepay the dues. In spite of it, I opt to go to Galter, because I think it is a lot better than the competition. What I like the most here are the fitness classes included in membership. You have to sign up for the more popular classes 48 hours in advance, because they fill up quickly. Try to take some classes like yoga or Aqua Mix/ Aqua Blast with Shannon, who is an awesome instructor. As others have mentioned, you will see all ages and body types here, so no need to be embarrassed if you are not in top shape. There are two pools (the West pool is bigger), a sauna, whirlpool, and a lot of equipment on the second floor. The staff is friendly and the place seems quite clean. The only negatives that I can see are very small towels and several lockers without working locks.

They changed their policies in the middle of the year, and now there are no reservations. Before,…read moreit was already very difficult to find a spot to swim; now, it is just impossible. The membership is overpriced for the services they provide. There is also very little respect for members. They offer individual classes that take up entire lanes, leaving members unable to swim. They even state in their documents that people paying for those classes have priority. Well, I pay too--and I pay a very expensive membership, yet I feel that the needs of regular members are completely disregarded. There isn't even proper shampoo--just soap that they label as shampoo. People are allowed to use their phones, and nobody seems to enforce the rules. Overall, it feels like the facility has been abandoned and that management no longer cares about the members or the quality of the experience.

I am a current…read moremember and I was turned away from this facility because I have a Classic Membership and I am not allowed to work out at this location without paying an additional fee. I have worked out at other Planet Fitness facilities without any issue. The associate Ben was rude, unprofessional, and acted like he worked as a bouncer at a nightclub. The manager Destiny also was rude, and has no people skills or customer service skills whatsoever. I work in customer service and management and I could not believe how awful their attitudes are. You hired the wrong people to work with the general public and for your valued, paying current members. I was shocked by how terrible your staff is and I think your members deserve better. I will be most likely canceling.

She's been rude and kicked us out because of the shoes that i've worn and yesterday night March march 4 I went to work out with my dad and my brother and we went to work out on legs and we went to the leg press machine and somehow the screw went flying and hit my brother's leg not an issue for me I told him I don't know what they did, but the machine wasn't working not only that machines has been not working but other ones around it are also not OK. I had fallen from one two days prior and the seat fell down i know the gym has great potential Just the leaders that run it isn't okay the workers there quite literally have to do everything. They are the coolest people,just 2 ladies that have a problem with me Don't know for what but i hope someone can investigate it and change management

Sarah has been such an incredible person in my weight loss journey.

She's helped me have a great relationship with working out - it doesn't feel like a chore and always look forward to our 2 sessions a week. It's hard finding a gym or trainer with so many options, but I'm so glad I found this place!!
