Gorgeous health club!! My friend belongs here and I joined her for dinner at the restaurant/grill…read more The food was tasty and excellent service. I was given a 90 minute pass for dinner and they seem strict on the time. My friend also gave me a tour. It's an impressive space!! About 450,000 square feet, spanning across 2 full city blocks and 5 levels. They have everything you can think of: pools (4 pools!), saunas, restaurants, tennis, golf, basketball, boxing, group glasses, weights, machines, pickleball, spa, hair and nail salon, indoor running track, co-working space, and so much more. Beautiful artwork, pristine locker rooms and restrooms. Wow! High ceilings and so much space overall. Nothing felt crowded. Beautiful design and layout. I was in awe and very impressed.

(Kari's Rating 7.5/10)…read more TLDR -Up-to-Date equipment -Work from home spaces -Convenient Healthy Market Came with a friend to hang out on a Wednesday around 5:30pm to see what East Bank Club is all about. After seeing all the crazy amenities which were super cool with a ton of variety, I think the thing that surprised me the most is how up-to-date all of the equipment was and the variety of activities they had for people to enjoy. If you're looking for an all encompassing workout/work space, this is it! They have everything from full-size tennis courts, to a golf simulator-like set up,except you get to hit into an inflatable pillow! They also had plenty of Pickleball courts, and they offer so many different workout group classes.both a wet and dry, sauna, and tons of treadmills and free weights. I was also really impressed that they also had a physical training area. So think something that was my personal favorite and the best thing for Chicago Summers is a beautiful rooftop pool and lounge area. Not only did they have two outdoor pools (one for adults and one for kids) but they also have an indoor pool as well for winter as well as an indoor hot tub! They also had a common area workspace where people can come to take meetings and do their work from home gigs. You could practically move in here haha! As of right now, it is a $750 new membership fee as well as $295 a month, which is a pretty hefty chunk of change if you ask me considering most of the high rises around, have some kind of rooftop pool and workout area. It is cheaper if you join with a domestic partner or if you're between the ages of 16 and 29-see pic for current pricing. They also sometimes host social events which is super fun to meet everyone else in the club, but at the same time I think it is more of an investment in your future and your future health if you can afford it! I will not be joining at the moment, but hey-that could change anytime if I decide I should be on a health kick.

In my case, when I asked them to cancel my membership in advance (so I wouldn't be charged again), they canceled it early out of spite because I had complained about them not pausing my account when I was traveling for 3 months. Instead of showing remorse for canceling my membership, the manager tried to blame me, until I had email as proof. Even then, the manager, Darrell Szymanski was dismissive, rude, and completely lacking in empathy or consideration. A gym is supposed to be a place where members feel valued and respected--not taken advantage of. Unfortunately, this club falls far short. They were so condescending, it's was insulting.

To gain access into the club you can either walk in from the main lobby floor of One Chicago and take the elevator up to the 9th floor and that's where the club entrance is. There's only two elevators, during rush hour times there is often a line just to go up or down. You could take the stairs but who wants to climb 9 levels? That alone is a workout! Once you're inside the club there's 2 floor levels. The first floor has the check-in lobby, cafe, bar, locker rooms, rooftop pool and spa. The second level has all the workout equipment, cardio, and studio rooms for workout classes. I wasn't a big fan of the layout, it's kind of all over the place. Got a chance to take a Warrior Sculpt class with Taylor and it was awesome! One of the best sculpt classes I've ever had. I've seen some reviews complain about issues with the staff being rude but I honestly did not encounter any of that. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Oh and one last thing!

Equinox Lincoln Park

You can find pretty much any equipment here -- punching bags, sleds, reformer machines, etc. There is a good mix of group fitness classes here included in the membership price. Equinox has a reputation for being fancy -- thus the high price of this gym. However, I don't think this *particular* location really warrants the high price. This location isn't as flashy and new as comparably-priced gyms (like the Lincoln Common Equinox or the Midtown Athletic Club). It also lacks the extensive amenities of a place like East Bank Club (which has tennis courts, kayaking, basketball, etc). A membership at this location will give you access to some of Equinox's newer, fancier facilities (like Lincoln Common) as well as some of its convenient locations for office workers (Loop branch).

I am still there for the 2 minute walk from my home but please new and prospective new members know that their assurances of new equipment and remodel is highly unlikely. Facility A/C was down for nearly two weeks and they kindly offered access to other locations, no small %off our monthly membership fee. Also, you mat freeze your membership with a $50 / month fee.

Equinox The Loop

Equinox Loop will always hold a special place in my heart because it's where my journey with the…read morebrand began. I grew up in the Chicago suburbs, and after graduating from college, my first city apartment was in Wicker Park. In 2007, I was working a couple of blocks away at One North Wacker and joined this club through a corporate discount. Looking back, it was one of the most consequential memberships I've ever purchased. At the time, I was trying to figure out adulthood. Like many young professionals, I was learning how to balance work, health, ambition, and independence. Equinox became part of that education. I started modestly: a few studio cycling classes, 20 minutes on the treadmill, some stretching afterward, and the occasional steam room session. What began as a simple attempt to stay in shape became a lifelong practice, one that ultimately led to thousands of workouts, countless classes, and challenges that would have seemed unimaginable to the person who first walked through those doors. The timing was significant too. I joined as the global financial crisis was unfolding around us. I was young enough to be somewhat insulated from its full impact, but old enough to sense that the world was changing in ways I didn't yet understand. Many people around me were experiencing layoffs, uncertainty, and losses that would reshape their lives. Looking back, I think Equinox became a refuge during that period. While the world outside often felt unsettled, this was a place built around routine, discipline, and self-improvement. That stability was more valuable than I understood at the time. The club itself embodied everything that drew me to Equinox. It was clean, polished, and unmistakably urban. Chicago has always had great fitness options, but Equinox felt different. It was smaller, more design-conscious, and more connected to a broader world beyond Chicago. In a city that can sometimes be skeptical of ideas and brands that arrive from elsewhere, Equinox brought a more cosmopolitan perspective to the fitness scene. I thought that was a positive thing then, and I still do. One of my favorite memories of this club has nothing to do with a workout. I'd finish exercising, spend time in the steam room, and then step outside into a Chicago winter evening. Snow would be falling. Steam would rise from my head into the cold air. The city would feel sharp, quiet, and alive all at once. For a few moments, everything seemed perfectly calibrated. I've experienced that feeling in other cities over the years, and it's still one of my favorite sensations in the world. It's the closest thing I've found to stepping out of a ski lodge and into the mountains. This was never one of Equinox's largest clubs, but that was part of its charm. I still remember the small retail area near the entrance, the salad bar, the old gray "Member" T-shirts, and buying my first pair of Balega socks, a South African running brand I've continued to support over the years. I also appreciated that this location had both a sauna and a steam room, a combination that's uncommon across the Equinox portfolio today. Over the years, I spent time at the original Chicago-area clubs as well, including 900 North Michigan, Lincoln Park, and Highland Park, near where I grew up. Since then, Highland Park has closed, and Equinox has expanded in the city with new locations in Fulton Market and Lincoln Common. Each club reflected a different chapter of the brand's evolution in Chicago. But Loop was my original Equinox. Whether it was the first club Equinox opened in Chicago or not, it was the first one I joined and the one that started my relationship with the brand. As the pace of my life accelerated, that consistency became even more valuable. I moved between cities, changed jobs, traveled constantly, and experienced all the unpredictability that comes with adulthood. Through it all, Equinox remained a reliable point of return. No matter where I was, I knew what awaited me: a clean locker room, a familiar steam room, quality equipment, and a space designed to help people reset. That may sound like a small thing, but it isn't. When your life becomes increasingly mobile and fragmented, familiar places take on greater meaning. Equinox became a kind of home base for me. It was where I went to clear my head, regain my footing, and pull myself back together before moving on to whatever came next. I've now visited more than 20 Equinox locations across the country. Returning here years later felt less like visiting a gym and more like revisiting the starting point of a much longer story. A great gym helps you build strength. The best ones become part of the architecture of your life. For me, Equinox Loop did exactly that.

**UIC Swim Classes: A Budget-Friendly Option for Kids**…read more We enrolled in UIC Swim Classes for our 1.5-year-old and found it to be a solid, budget-friendly option. At $22 per session, the classes offer structured swim lessons at a more affordable rate compared to other local options. There is a chill vibe that works great for a 1st learner, but the level of rigor is lower than Goldfish so we switched there once we got off their wait list. Classes are sold in 5 week packages, and reschedules are not typically allowed. The class structure follows a set sequence of exercises. Instructors are friendly, but engagement is inconsistent. While they guide kids through various activities, the level of encouragement and feedback varies, with some instructors mentally checking out after providing initial directions. The UIC facility itself is quite nice - The water is comfortably warm and there are changing areas. Parking is available but paid for a few dollars. Note that your access is restricted to within 15 minutes of class time, so don't go too early. Though there are fewer opportunities for underwater practice and confidence-building dips, the parent/tot classes are primary about getting your kid comfortable in water. Overall, UIC Swim Classes deliver decent value for the price, though parents seeking a more intensive training that will get kids swimming faster may want to explore Goldfish.

Train Moment is a game changer! They've found the perfect combination of strength training and HIIT that is accessible to all fitness levels. The coaches are knowledgeable and friendly and always provide options should you need them. Not to mention their energy is off the charts (even at 5:30am) and they challenge you every step of the way. The entire staff takes the time to learn members by name and make you feel welcomed. The studio itself is beautiful and always spotless. They've also done a great job of making members feel safe by limiting class sizes, requiring masks, encouraging distancing, and increasing availability of sanitizing equipment.

One thing guaranteed, you will walk out better than when you walked in! It doesn't matter if it's your first day or 365th, the movements are scalable and coaches are phenomenal!

Mode Gym

I decided to join Mode because I was tired of big box gyms and wanted a boutique experienxe. I took…read moreadvantage of my complimentary fitness assessment included with my membership and was paired with Trever. I was so impressed with his level of knowledge and approachable demeanor - especially since I was never the gym type I decided to continue my fitness journey with him. He's really fantastic! The other trainers at Mode are knowledgeable, helpful and take the time to assist their colleagues-ensuring their client has a great training session. They are always ready to offer guidance, answer questions, and provide personalized workout plans. I appreciate their expertise and the fact that they genuinely care about helping me achieve my fitness goals. I feel very welcomed here. I highly recommend Mode to anyone looking for a excellent gym experience. The friendly staff, clean equipment, and motivating atmosphere make it a great place to work towards your fitness goals. I am thrilled to be a member and look forward to continuing my fitness journey here and reaching my goal.

At first the gym was okay.. the bathrooms are horrendous looks like they don't clean the showers…read moreDAILY... the gym is terribly smaller than what they make it seem on social media. Barely have any machines there's one of each so it makes it nearly impossible to do your workout session in a timely manner, since you have to wait for sometimes 2-3 ppl to use a machine before you can get to it. I happened to move to the suburbs and didn't have a chance to cancel in person so I thought I'd call THEY NEVER ANSWERED THE DAMN PHONE I CALLED LIKE 7-8 times NO ONE PICKED UP THE DAMN PHONE!!! The one time my partner went in person to cancel his membership he was given the run around and was not able to cancel his membership! We just want out of this horrible gym, the staff isn't easy to work with at all! I just want to cancel my membership and they make it nearly impossible! HORRIBLE SERVICE DO NOT PURCHASE MEMBERSHIP!! Update I sent an email to cancel since I moved and they're saying I have to live 25+ miles away from the gym to cancel my membership which is complete and utter bs!! The cancellation process is ridiculous and nearly impossible save yourself the headache AND DONOT GET A MEMBERSHIP HERE THEY MUST BE DOING TERRIBLY FINANCIALLY TO MAKE IT THIS FRICKIN IMPOSSIBLE AND FRUSTRATING TO CANCEL A SIMPLE MEMBERSHIP NOT EVEN AT MY LAST GYM DID I HAVE SUCH A HARD TIME TO CANCEL A MEMBERSHIPPPP

Not a bad option for a gym in West Loop…read more Usually running a promo for free enrollment and a month or two free. If you're looking to become a member, watch for these deals as they are run pretty frequently. Nice staff. Good amenities. No B.S fees like many other gyms have. Very utilitarian. Happy with my membership.

I would STRONGLY caution anyone considering a membership here. Their customer service is some of…read morethe worst I've experienced at any gym. When you request to cancel or pause your membership, they'll continue to take your money but won't actually process the request properly. In my case, when I asked them to cancel my membership in advance (so I wouldn't be charged again), they canceled it early out of spite because I had complained about them not pausing my account when I was traveling for 3 months. Instead of showing remorse for canceling my membership, the manager tried to blame me, until I had email as proof. Even then, the manager, Darrell Szymanski was dismissive, rude, and completely lacking in empathy or consideration. A gym is supposed to be a place where members feel valued and respected--not taken advantage of. Unfortunately, this club falls far short. They were so condescending, it's was insulting.

Get that ass on the Megaformer bandwagon!…read more Seriously, my abs have never looked better. For those who don't know, a Megaformer is pretty much a pilates reformer on steroids. So, if you feel like you're not getting enough of a workout in your pilates class and would like to bump it up a notch, this place is perfect for you. The Megaformer offers a numbered, much larger carriage, and additional padded surfaces at both ends. There's also a number of added handles on the ends opening up a ton of exercise options. I've taken multiple classes here, and while I'm still learning the names of the exercises, the instructors are always around to demo and help. Classes are never boring, and the resistance and exercise intervals are perfect. I'm always wiped out afterwards, and sometimes need to take a spring off during arms, but I've never felt uncomfortable for doing so. Definitely trust in the instructor's cues. It's better to rock their modifications instead of compromising form, risking injury, or literally, just increasing your chances of falling the fuck off. Seriously, if you want those summer abs, get your ass there. Now.

This is a push-it-to-the-max type of Pilates workout on a megaformer, the granddaddy of…read morespring-loaded resistance reformer machines. The workout is designed to improve cardio stamina, strength, endurance, toning, and flexibility using deliberate movements set to a tempo. There are a lot of transitions and pulleys and handles and feet placements on the machine, but these features offer a different options for challenging each muscle group. Transition time is 5 seconds, so no stretching or catching your breath! Some movements are slow and steady with micro movements and others are full range of motion. With pumping music and a lot of verbal instruction, it's like Barry's Bootcamp fused with ProPilates. You can count on having shaky muscles afterwards! My instructor, Danny, was hilarious and informative. He offered a quick tutorial of the machine before class began, which was helpful. Once we got moving, he demonstrated technique and gave individual feedback. If you have injuries that limit your activity, skip it. But if you're looking for a no-impact, chiseling 50-minute workout, this is for you! My class had both men and women, so fellas don't be shy! The studio is on the second floor. Buzz the doorbell to be let in and then head upstairs and check in at the receptionist desk. Remove your shoes when you arrive, then store your belongings in open cubbies. There are two gender-neutral bathrooms to change or shower in. The studio is spacious, with some tall windows on the north side that let in light. There's about a dozen megaformers in the studio, so the class is somewhat intimate. Don't forget sticky socks!

Edge Athlete Lounge

I initially found out about Edge through a running blog that raved about Robyn (the owner), and how…read moreamazing she is and how she helped the blogger achieve goals she never thought were possible. After doing a little research on Edge, I was completely sold. It was exactly what I was looking for and more! I scheduled an appointment, met some amazing staff, coaches, and members. Everyone was AMAZING and so welcoming!! 3 months later, I can say I have no regrets and my experience here exceeded my expectations. I joined their 5 Weeks To Fit challenge and lost 15 pounds, gained lean muscle, lost body fat, and most of all gained so much knowledge about nutrition and fitness that I will always be able to use. In just 3 months, my fitness level has greatly increased and I have gotten so much stronger. I never felt better in my life! I have some pretty crazy goals this year and in the future and I am soooo confident that Edge will get me there and BEYOND! I have never been part of such a fitness community that celebrates each other's victories and wins, both big and small; the small wins that ultimately lead in to greater victories. Nothing goes unnoticed with them. Even if you don't see greatness in yourself, THEY SEE IT. All of the coaches, staff, and members are so motivating and inspiring. There is literally no place like it. The icing on the cake is the sweetest most lovable pugs that welcome you as soon as you walk in (from usually a really hard day). Edge is stuck with me, that's for sure!!

Years ago when I was about to join Edge, I read all of the glowing reviews and thought "no way a…read moreplace can be this good." Well, it is. In the years since I've joined, not only have I gotten into the best shape of my life but I've also accomplished things I never thought would be possible while finding a supportive community of like minded people. This place has changed my life in so many ways. It can feel intimidating coming to a strength class or group run but all paces and experience levels are truly welcome. As long as you show up willing to give your best you will thrive! Million stars, can't recommend highly enough.
