I would happily give this gym 4 or 5 stars, but there are a few issues that unfortunately have detracted quite a bit from my overall experience. First, the positives: the staff are quite nice, the machines are perfectly adequate, and the space is always clean. Equipment-wise, this little gym has everything you would need. However, I have a few complaints. My biggest complaint is that the temperature is uncomfortable 50-60% of the time. In the winter the heating is overzealous, and in the summer they tend to be stingy with the air conditioning. Right now the thermostat is set to cool down when it reaches 75 degrees, but 74 degrees and humid is unnecessarily warm - especially when its a lovely 65 outside. (According to the IFA, the ideal temperature for gyms offering cardio ranges from 65-68 degrees.) On a similar note, it is very difficult to use the cardio machines up front during the morning and late afternoon because the windows are floor-to-ceiling and without any tinting or covering. Its come to the point where I actively avoid going to the gym during these hours, as I do when its humid out since one cant depend on the AC. A couple smaller annoyances: the spray bottles are always leaky, and I found out recently that the scale in the womens room has been broken for over a month, and yet no one put a sign up saying it was broken. For people who are trying to lose weight, this could be very disheartening. As you may point out, these problems are all very easy to fix - thus my frustration. The thermostat could be adjusted, and very cheap shades could be bought for the front windows. (I have also spoken to several trainers about some of these issues, but apparently to no avail.) I would love to give this gym 5 stars, but I have frequently had to cut my workouts short because I have felt too uncomfortable. I hope they can work on these things, as this is really a wonderful addition to the neighborhood!

very bad customer service and phone skills . i called in regards to finding out about getting a membership for someone else , i dont live in the area The person I wanted to get the membership for does . so I was just calling to find out more information. the person who answered the phone supposedly said he was the owner. he was completely rude and hung up on me . before he hung up he didnt even let me explain myself completely all he said was "we dont dont do that type of business transaction" and he even told me to go to another gym. I didnt believe what just happened I thought it was a prank or something so I called back the second time and all he kept saying was he wanted my name because I was supposedly harassing him. it was a crazy weird experience I wont recommend anyone to go there. its really sad bc I was coming from a good place when I want to buy a membership for somebody to encourage them to start working out at their gym

Great gym located at the intersection of Ashland and Jarvis, East Rogers Park. The facility is always clean and never too busy for a great work out. Cardiovascular equipment, machines and free weights and a professional punching bag are available as well as showers. The staff is very friendly and really show a passion for fitness. They are also all certified trainers. The prices for personal training packages are very low in comparison to other gyms in Chicago. They will be expanding in the near future which will definitely ad to the great facility. They will offer classes such as yoga and pilates once the expansion is complete. If you are looking for a gym in Rogers park or surrounding are this is the place to go to.

Best gym in the world !? I needed a gym in the area, so I did some on-site research. I went to Ballys (now L.A. Fitness) on Howard and was floored! I wont get into the number of red flags that I saw. I then went to V-Tone and it was completely different experience: clean facility, cozy feel, and respectful staff & knowledgeable staff. I have been a member for just a little over a week, the personal training sessions are amazing. I am 100% satisfied - this is the best gym in the world as advertised.

Ive been going to this gym for a few weeks and I really enjoy it so far! Its usually not crowded and very clean. Employees and other members are very friendly. The only downside is that the stretching area is a little small and the TVs are closed captioning only (there is no receiver on the cardio machines so that you can listen to the TV with your headphones). I just noticed the other day that there is an outdoor fitness yard that Ill have to check out.

My wife & I love VTone! Tony and his brother run great gym, they have a nice set up, plenty of room, great free weight & dumbbell... nice outdoor area during summer. I was lucky enough to work with Robert, one of their trainers, and he is All That :-) Highly recommended! Easy terms, reasonable prices, much less headache than "big box" operations like LA Fitness. Check out VTone!

I worked out here for 6 months and really enjoyed it. Ive been in multiple gyms going on 6 years now and Vtone is my favorite. The price of a membership here is incredibly fair, the people who run the front desk are very nice, and the other members are great people. I definitely rate them 5 out of 5

Ive been going here for 3 + years. Great, friendly owners. Very clean equipment and you can tell they are always trying improve. Tony fixes my flat bike tires in less than twenty-four hours consistently and charges a cheap rate for high quality work. This gym deserves your business!

Perfect small neighborhood gym. People are very friendly. The rooms and equipment are always clean and they keep it like this any time of the day. Enough machines and free weights for a full workout program. And competitive prices. Especially the annual offer.

Small gym, but it has everything it needs! Not crowded at all, and therefore highly recommended if you want more of your own space. Instructors of classes are nice and make you feel at home. Most of the equipment is up to date and... very clean!

Very nice gym but extremley small. Went during the middle of the day with 2 other people in the entire gym yet still had to wait for a machine. Overall a very nice place other than the size.

With no context, the receptionist asked me if I was pregnant...not pregnant or close to being so.
