I went to this gym for almost 12 years (2005 - 2016). Easily the best deal on the north side & probably the entire city. The annual deal is only a fraction of what other memberships cost. And when I joined there werent any b/s membership fees--which I am sure is still the case. The gym is always clean and the equipment is usually in good, working order. I rarely saw anything that was out of order for more than a day. Jerry, the main owner / operator, knows all his members from day one and makes a special effort to make sure that their workout experience is the best it can be...within reason. He is always open to any requests or suggestions on how to improve the gym. This is a no frills gym that is an excellent deal relative to the price.

This gym is for the person who is serious about working out, whether doing weights or cardio. It has just about every piece of equipment youd want to use. What pushed this rating to five stars are the people. The owner, Gerry, gets to know all the members and is responsive to our needs. One of the coaches, Ted, is happy to answer your one-off training and nutrition questions even if you are not a client of his. Overall, the members of this gym are a community of good people who care about fitness and support each other in achieving their goals.

A very small, basic gym. Just has the basic and somewhat outdated weights/machines and treadmills. Its so small that when its busy its somewhat dangerous to work out there (people are lifting weights very close to one another). Its a little pricey for what youre getting. In the summer it can get very hot and humid inside. Not sure if they turn the AC on, and if they do its not sufficient. Youll work up a sweat standing in place. On the upside, Gerry is very friendly and will give you pointers if you ask for them.

Ive worked out at a lot of gyms and by far this is one of the best. Its got everything you want in a non-commercial gym: its clean, its not packed, the people that workout there are friendly, the price is right, and you really do feel like a member, not a number. The owner, Gerry, is there all the time, knows everyone, and is an awesome guy. Definitely a one of a kind place.

Small gym (more of a store front really), thats more often empty then not. Jerry (?) runs the place and is usually sitting at the front desk. Doesnt have any features of the larger gyms outside of a bathroom. Pros: Cheap, relaxed, empty, good mix of equipment and absolutely no pressure about anything as far as signing up or canceling. Cons: small, no extras, no parking.

#1 is a great local gym. The type of place where the owner knows you by name and says hi to you at the door. On the small side but theres never a problem getting weights or equipment. They have more tools than big box gyms, without all the frills.

Good gym. Great price. Jerry is negotiable and reasonable. Not super fancy but has what you need. Perfect if you just graduated school, live in wrigleyville and need to workout before/after work. Great value and Jerry knows your name.

Small gym. Nothing special ... but you dont need anything special to get in shape. Clean, cheap, friendly. Gerry is a good guy. Great weight set up.
