Ive been a member now for 6 months. Ive found that unless you work a 9-5 and attend classes either at 6am or 5pm....good luck. The class selection for those of us who own our own businesses or work different hours is terrible. Im sorry, but Im working until anywhere from 8pm to 2am, and am not getting up at 6am for a class. That leaves me with classes that only occur while I am AT work or a select few that may be offered around 10 or 11am. Heres the thing, those 2 or 3 classes offered at 10 or 11am, theyre not for me. I dont do spinning and Stretch and Strength is not a good workout. I am left classless. I also love Yoga, but am only available for 2 classes a week because of work and theyre class schedule. I understand the world cant revolve around me, but Ive spoken with others in the gym that feel the same. Weve all put in comments and there have been minimal changes. On another note, the gym us super clean, has great equipment, and friendly staff.

Absolutely LOVE this gym! I have run the gamut on gym memberships, from Planet Fitness to local gyms to XSport Fitness to Anytime....this is by far the best Ive ever been to for several reasons: LOVE taking group classes and not only do they have a TON every day and a wide variety, but they have them in "prime 9-5er hours," meaning people who work typical work hours still have plenty of early morning or later evening options. Almost every day there is a class that doesnt start until 6:45 which is plenty of time to get home, change, and get to the gym. The staff and instructors. Theyre all amazing! Front desk workers are always friendly, helpful and welcoming. Instructors are personal, passionate, and know how to push you just hard enough :) Locker rooms are always clean and spacious. Have participated in almost all the classes: TRX, Heavy Hitters and Spin are my favorites!

While I went to this gym briefly, I was happy with the gym and the gym staff. However due to circumstances of me moving, I had attempted to cancel the gym, on March 14th, 2017. Today is August 9th, 2007 that is almost 5 months later, and I am still going back and forth chasing them for a cancellation. They claim they never received my request, however I received an email receipt sent by them that they received my request. Messages back and forth ever since, without an offered solution to me, and still without the cancellation even though my move evidence has been submitted. Its a shame that a gym like this tries to make their money by dragging out cancellations. My colleagues and friends go to this gym and I will advise them to cancel a year prior to their needed cancel date.

I signed up for the club last year because they had full facilities (swimming, basketball, classes, etc...). I travel a lot for work and was out of the country for a few months and came back to see that the club now rents out the basketball court to Chicago Sports and Social 5 DAYS a week during the most peek times of the day. Has anyone heard of a club where you pay $80 a month and have to deal with something like this? I complained several times but the club refuses to let me out of my contract. I would recommend you pay more for other clubs that dont do this or join X-sport because they dont even do stuff like this. How is this even legal? Shouldnt the members get a portion of the revenue?

You get a lot for what you pay for. Under $100/month gets you access to the full gym, a ton of classes and a pool. Most of the gyms in the area charge twice that much for just classes and limited gym equipment with limited access. It may be the times I go but I never have to wait for equipment. Theres plenty to go around. The staff seems friendly and if you work out at the same time everyday, the regulars become a little friendly community, not chit-chatty-interrupt-your-workout friendly, just a nod and a smile and help you out if you need it. Its nice.

Everything about the gym is wonderful except for the cancellation policy. Even if you think youve submitted a request to cancel, if they dont file it, expect to be paying heavily for it should you not follow up. Besides that, the customer service is either a hit or miss. In the morning, great people. Evening or afternoon, varies. I highly recommend you make absolutely certain that every request you submit is actually documented, even several months later, just to be safe. Had a great experience except for that. Really left a bitter feeling in me.

I have been part of the club for ~ 3 months now. So far everything has been good: clean facility, good pool not too crowded, easy access both with parking and by CTA, and reasonable membership rates. Only downside is: pool is heavily chlorinated, and they never got back to me about swim classes after 2-3 attempts (??). Overall I enjoy the best swim/pool, and ballet burn classes. I read negative reviews regarding membership but havent need to change my membership yet - will update my review if things change.

My favorite gym in the city. Sure, its not as plush as an Equinox, but the size, staff, and classes make up for it. They still have a sauna and steam room, so Im happy. The instructors appear to really love what they do, and stay on top of current (reputable) fitness trends. Evenings between 5-7 are pretty crowded like anywhere else, but after 7:30pm the place dies down. It is easy to feel at home, therefore easier to look forward to my workout!

My second home. Extremely well priced for the amount of classes and amenities. The kids club staff is amazing and every class Ive taken I have enjoyed. Honestly couldnt believe people left bad reviews. The majority of equipment upstairs is new and they are currently renovating another area. Other gyms Ive looked into have crazy enrollment fees but there are often specials where the fee is waived. I joined in April and am so glad I did.

If you want a expensive gym, that is out of date, and has individuals running barefoot on treadmills (not kidding)... this is your place. Management is less then helpful after you sign up. Enter at your own risk! If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

One of the best of the CAC facilities. Free parking. Great selection of workout classes to participate in. Never too busy or overcrowded. The instructors are very helpful. Classes are fun. Great membership price. Ive been a member for a few months now and I love it.

Great gym, location is extremely accessible and the community really friendly and personable. only thing I miss in a gym is an indoor track. It has everything else you could ask for: saunas, basketball court, pool, hot tub, classes. Absolutely love this gym.

Love the facility here. It’s Very large and they always maintain cleanliness. The fitness centre has many machines so never have to wait for any weights or cardio equipment. The pool is very good with clean water and a great place to swim.

Absolutely love this gym, which is part of the CAC Athletic Club family. Great facilities, great employees, great hours and unlimited classes. Oh, and did I mention free parking? Cant ask for more in my opinion!
