This is an awesome health club to join. I do not have an account here, but one of my friends does. I go here with him as a friend and its always so much fun. They have the best facilities here, with tons of machines to work out on. They also have instructors on hand to answer your questions or give assistance. It is pretty expensive, but definitely always fun so I guess it is worth the money paid here. You can also go in as a guest to check this place out if you want.

What has to be the largest gym facility in Chicago, the East Bank Club is a fantastic fitness center. This is the place Oprah works out at!
The complex is huge, with every workout machine you could want. TVs are abundant, and they make sure to pump in AC to keep the place cool. In the summer, there is a beautiful sundeck and pool on the roof of the complex.

Is it possible to think of Bally's without hearing "The Sign" by Ace of Base playing in your head? I'm not so sure...anyway...what I like about Bally's is, while it definitely isn't the best gym in Chicago, there are so many locations - both in Chicago and across the country. My family lives in Michigan so I can still work out when I go up there without having a separate membership. Plus going to the same location every day gets boring really fast, and it's no good to get bored with your workout - so I like to switch it up and mix up going to the at least 4 different Bally's locations on the North side alone. The one at Century City is probably the best out of those, with an indoor track, pool, and spacious floor plan. Parking is difficult here but I think overall it has the best and most varied equipment and facilities.

Sweat Shop offers many of the benefits of a large gym but without the large-gym atmosphere or prices. The storefront seems small, but the gym itself is quite large. There are numerous ellipticals, treadmills, and other cardio machines (the only equipment that is hard to use at peak time is ellipticals - even treadmills are pretty easy to use during the after-work hours), plus a variety of weight machine. They offer a variety of classes, too, and have an upstairs where they hold spinning classes. I'm a huge fan of working out here - the staff is friendly, the machines are always working, and it's very clean.

I have been with Xsport Fitness for a couple of years now and i am pretty happy with it. This was the cheapest gym I could find at the time and I'm sure it is still the same way. Now what keeps me a member here for good is the fact that they are open for 24 hours. I like the gym too because there are a lot of machines here. I have never had problems getting the machine I want because there always seem to be more machines than people. They also have a spa here, but I have never really tried that.

This small, inexpensive, neighborhood fitness club is great if you're looking to get a workout without the hustle and bustle of larger, commercial gyms. Located on the corner of Webster and Sheffield, the gym is roughly the size of three classrooms and offers the basic free weight machines, treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, and stairmaster machines. My interactions with the staff has been positive - they've been nothing less than friendly and helpful. I also enjoyed the cardio kickboxing class. Drawbacks: the machines and free weights are functional but old. You get what you pay for.

This gym is primarily for personal trainers and their clients but its cool because if you get a trainer you don't have to pay membership fees. You can also be a member without a trainer which is also great beacuse its a really clean and spacious gym! It doesn't get too crowded because its not that popular with the general public.

This gym has a good variety of classes, and I have been happy with most of the instructors. It is also pretty clean, including the shower area. However, it can get very crowded during peak hours, to the point you have to wait for a locker or a popular machine. And their most popular classes are so full you can hardly move.

Fitness Formula is an awesome place to go work out at. They have such a great center here. They have tons of machines here and there are always a bunch of machines open. What I really like about this place though is that its hours are great. They open up relalye arly and close late so you can always somehow fit it into your schedule. They also provide personal trainers at an extra cost.
