    Big City Pickle is one of my favorite spots to play. The courts are always in great condition, and…read morethe layout makes it easy to get games going without waiting around. The staff are friendly and helpful, making the whole experience smooth from booking to play. The environment is positive and welcoming -- whether you're playing competitively or just for fun, it feels like a good community. If you're looking for quality courts and a great vibe, this place delivers.

    Have played at this location a couple times, both with similar experiences. As popular as it is, I…read morefeel that it is more so for beginner Pickleball players. This past weekend while playing during their open play, it seemed very disorganized and all over the place. Although the courts are labeled by skill level, no one was really abiding by them and everyone just went for whichever courts were empty. The paddling up system is a little weird where you just leave your paddles on the side of the net where everyone can walk and it distracts you from the game. Same with the exterior of the courts; there is not much space to move back since people are constantly walking or sitting right behind you. There are no barriers so the balls fly all over the place and halt game play in the middle constantly. It's a nice hang out spot if you're looking for casual play or just to chill with drinks and other games. For seasoned Pickleball players like myself, the setup might become a little frustrating.

    Great teachers and lesssons. I wish they had tennis classes in the winter but other than that,…read morethey're great and much better of an option than other tennis lessons offered in Chicago.

    My husband and I took a complimentary Cardio Tennis class on June 8, 2024. Our class was held at…read moreLakeShore Park. We enjoyed our class. The park is located very close to Lake Shore Drive with plenty of paid street parking on a Saturday morning. We booked the class on-line. No instructor information was given. Upon arrival we just sat around looking at each other until the class got started. I think this could of been stream lined much better. I have taken lessons and I do Cardio Tennis with USTA. However my husband is very new to the game. He has never played on a court outside of me trying to teach him the basic once before. I think this would of been helpful information for the instructors to know. I did inform them after our second drill. I think both instructors did a good job after that of modification for him. i.e. using Orange ball. I did enjoy this class. I got a good workout and had a fun time. I liked the warm up and games played. It was a nice way to start out my weekend. Instructors were good at breaking for water. I don't recall a cool down. I would be interested in signing up for additional lessons. It would be helpful to know if during the 4 week lessons if there is a dedicated tennis pro or if the instructors would rotate.

    I came here for the rooftop restaurant Harvest. I had low expectations for the food. Everything we…read morehad was really good. The truffle fries were crispy, pancakes were good, the salmon bowl and burrata salad were perfect for a hot day. The salmon was perfectly cooked. The view on the rooftop is lovely and the service was great. Definitely don't miss out on the rooftop restaurant/bar.

    In a word: terrible. Other words: dirty, broken, rude. Including:…read more - Unsafe infrastructure. Floor literally shakes regularly. If there is a building in Chicago likely to collapse on you, this is it. - Operated for many, many months without a proper license to have their pool open for use. - The pool is constantly leaking into the weight room on the floor below. Every time I work out there is a pile of towels in a different location, buckets catching water from the pool a floor up, areas sequestered off because the ceiling is falling in. - The roof is constantly leaking and instead of what seems like minimal effort to patch the roof, they rig up plastic sheets with clips and place buckets the leaking water flows into in the middle of the track. This is in multiple places and has been in place all winter long. - Generally dirty and gross everywhere. Have never not ever and would not: get in the pool, take a shower, use the sauna, or touch the floor with anything other than the bottom of my shoes. The equipment is disgusting. - All the broken things everywhere. Broken shower doors, broken equipment, broken chairs, broken clocks, broken coat racks. - A nonexistent class program. Every other gym I've been a member at has had decent to awesome group fitness options. Do not come here for that. For starters, they offer almost none. Those that they offer are often cancelled last minute without notice. This place isn't exactly teaming with fit staff... The fitness class spaces are very low quality. - The youth classes are a waste of money. I've paid a lot of money for a lot of different youth classes over the years. This is the only establishment where I asked for a refund for the swimming lessons and my kids begged me to not make them do tennis again. - They brag about the kids camp but it is highly over priced compared to what's out there. The cost initially sounds okay, but then you realize their "full day" is actually a "half day" and to get the rest of the day covered, you have to double the cost. Add to that I've never encountered a youth camp program with poorer communication. Why are we members (for now)? Because they are generally chill around here and we have a boatload of kids. They swim in the gross pool, climb on the shaking outdoor playground, have so far survived the childcare that is pure chaos, and once in awhile I can't find another camp to send my kids to (they complain the whole way there and back and I worry about their safety all day). Recently a new manager-like gal has started roaming the halls scolding families for "health violations" like giving their kids a snack from home. Set aside that anyone with kids understands this is an unreasonable expectation, it's a highly offensive public lashing given the clear health code violations the staff routinely ignore and their patrons have just resolved to deal with. Every time I come here, I see at least a half dozen new member tours in action. Anyone considering joining should do so with eyes wide open. The quality of this gym compares to the Lakeview YMCA, with the Y coming out the clear winner for cleanliness, customer service and cost. It goes without saying, if you don't have kids or like kids this is not the gym for you. Don't complain about the kids, just go to one of the countless other cool gyms where you won't see them. We haven't cancelled our membership yet and I won't bother raising these issues with management because every interaction I've had with them makes it quite clear the bar they've set for themselves is so low. But it's just a matter of time, and I have no intention of wiping down the equipment at an establishment so woefully neglected by the rude people collecting $500 from me every month.

Getting into a cardio class is extremely hard as there is limited about of spots. Additionally you have to have a verified 3.0 rating or above to get into the classes. I take the medium impact classes which has a capacity of 12 people. On average 8-10 people show up for class. It is a really good workout. There are 6 courts but 2 can be used for pickleball. I like this facility as there is ample parking. Also it is nice to see the ice skating classes and practices. The facility itself has lockers, water machines, vending machines and elevator lift for accessibility. I also had my racket re-strung by Carlos for a decent price. I was able to drop it off and pickup the next time that so was at the facility.

    Pretty sure they have teenagers running this entire operation. Went for free skate on a Saturday,…read morewhich I assumed would be busy. I few things I also assumed is that they'd have a system for their line, which stupidly spiraled around the lobby confusing every single new person that came. By the time I got to the front (only an hour left in free skate at this point), they sold out of all but three sizes (that's including men/women/kids). No effort to proactively inform people wasting their time in line. The person I came with brought their own skates so they still went on the ice while I watched, but the rink was total chaos. They allowed way too many people on the ice and the teenage Skate Guards were completely useless, staring at their phones or just staring at the ground bored. Fire those guys for sure. Absolute bust of an afternoon. From what I hear this place wasn't always this bad. To management: Please offer some kind adult only skate time and find Skate Guards who give a damn. To prospective free skaters: Go somewhere else.
