The boot camp is pretty low key. Probably good for everyday but not an intense workout. Solid equipment and fairly diverse options. Facilities a little worn but perfectly serviceable. From their website I was expecting much higher end.

Great atmosphere for a workout. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have a wonderful steam room for a great finish to your workout. The fitness classes are the best in the area.

If you are serious about your workouts, then look no further! This is not a see-and-be-seen gym, but rather for people of all ages (and some of those Silver Sneaker folks can lift you over their heads!) who are looking for a good work out. This is not a social, chit-chatty gym, and that is why I like it. They have great personal training packages and some really great trainers. The best gym in Champaign for sure!

Stopped in to see if this was a good gym for my college daughter. Wow! I wish this gym was in Chicago! This place has tons of machines! About 4-6 of every machine! Also free weights and free weight machines. And a great selection of elliptical, bikes and treadmills. Also, a fantastic, fresh juice bar, Les Mills classes and very nice locker rooms/ showers and steam. I joined for both of us. We got punch cards to use whenever we want.The staff and the members are all like family and very welcoming. This place is a hidden treasure!

I've been travelling the country trying out multiple gyms in every area in San Francisco, LA, Dallas, Champaign, and Chicago - this is by far my favorite gym.Facilities are top shelf; plenty of cardio machines and free weights, steam room, shake/smoothie bar, classes, even child care.Members are all welcoming, and at various fitness levels.But the best part is the staff. They've got a great group of people running this place. I'll be back whenever I'm in Champaign.

Been going to this gym for over a year now and I'm very happy with it. Lots of machines, free weights, staff is friendly and it's a very welcoming atmosphere. Plenty of large flat-screen TVs showing primarily news and sports channels. A lot of the cardio machines have dedicated TVs attached to the machine. I mainly do bodybuilding but there are people of all sorts of fitness levels from casual cardio enthusiasts to competing powerlifters. Smoothie bar is great but kind of expensive. The building has some issues with leaking when it rains hard but the staff is well aware of the issue and working on getting it fixed. Wish they would get another deadlift bar lever/holder thing (don't know what it's called) because there's only one and loading a bar on the ground is difficult. Other than that, highly recommended.

I've been living temporarily in Champaign for a school program and was fortunate enough to find Refinery Gym. It has all of the most important aspects of any gym: the staff is GREAT, the gym is clean, the Machinery WORKs and you don't have to fight anyone for a machine. On top of that, there is a steam room and they make great post work-out shakes! The clientele is a mixture of all age groups and fitness levels. I want to take this gym to my hometown. I'm gonna miss it. This is me!
