THIS IS THE DIRTIEST GYM I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gyms are a prime place to catch bacterial infections. THERE IS NO EXCUSE to not have industrial cleaning supplies. Reach Beyond Fitness is the GRIMIEST gym I have EVER been to in my entire life. The gym is coated in dirt. They do not leave out cleaning supplies to wipe down equipment.When I asked about this they said " no one would do it anyways". I would rather spend 200$ a month to know I was not at risk for a staff infection. I would never stay at a gym where I was afraid to get on the floor. Charlie the sales manager is super condescending and rude. When I mentioned how dirty it was he made excuses PLACING the BLAME on me for WEARING CLOTHING I LIKED!!!!!. HE is soooo unprofessional for a 100$ a month gym membership with ZERO amenities. THEY LIED about cleaning when asked and said they mop every night. When I took a 6am boot camp class the next day I had to WASH MY HANDS HALF WAY THROUGH BECAUSE THEY WERE COVERED IN BLACK DIRT FROM THE FLOOR AND EQUIPMENT. I should not have been this dirty from a 6 am class if they really cleaned as well as they said. They keep the mops right by the drinking fountain which is in a room that is so dirty I am sure it is a health code violation. This is not a joke. I will post photos I took in my Yelp review. The mops were sitting in filth that they then mop right back onto the gym floor. They do not have a cleaning staff and were unsympathetic to my complaints. This is a small business. I totally get it. I joined fully aware that it was not an aesthetically pleasing venue but the treatment I received was unacceptable. I would never tell my friends to go here. It is totally sad because the other members of the staff are amazing and so are the classes. But Charlie and the discus ting manner the gym is kept in are just to much to continue on with.

Listen this is a no frills, lets get your @ss in shape kind of place. Its probably going to remind you more of your high school weight room, than your local FFC/Equinox....for me that was the draw. I wanted to get back to my grassroots of training. And you know what, I have seen pretty good results. As an active Triathlon racer, biker, swimmer, runner, hiker, skier...I have surpassed the plateau I was stuck at while going to FFC. My bike speed is way up, my run time, way down, and weight loss with muscle gain is going better than ever without as much concentration on dieting. Yeah, if I am in a bind, when the weather is horrible and I need to bike 40 miles, I go to FFC where I still have a membership...but I go to Reach to get results.

Bare bones gym with plenty of boxing equipment and space for crossfit workouts. There are minimal facilities, lockers, amenities, etc. If you want a place you can work hard and get hyphy this is it. If you want a clean place with helpful staff and an encouraging or collaborative environment this isnt. It seems more of a collective of private trainers than a full service gym. They have classes that are add-on charges to the base membership and can get pretty territorial. I think they opened in the past year or so, so they continue to make changes - hopefully for the better. For better or worse, this gym does the bare minimum and leaves the rest to you.

Just to keep things updated. Moving a block away to a new location was a difficult transition and added new obstacles but overall was a blessing. With the new facility there are locker rooms with full showers, changing area, plenty of lockers, and the place is nicely temperature controlled with heat and AC. For working out there are all the heavy bags a boxer could want and its and olympic lifters dream with 122 ft of lifting rigs throughout, as well as rowers, air dyne bikes, and various cardio and weight machines.

Awesome gym for olympic lifting, crossfit oriented workouts. If youre serious about exercise, and youre not in it just to hang out, this is the best place Ive found in Chicago. Cant wait to take some boxing classes.
