Lawndale Christian Fitness Center

This is my favorite gym!! Very affordable, always clean and well taken care of. Staff is helpful and kind. I would definitely still be here but I relocated and it’s now a bit too far.

As a person that travels a lot I'm keep trying to not a miss my trainings. :DI've been in many gyms across USA and this one is quite good. They have affordable prices and the gym is pretty clean.

I walked 3 miles with my nephew in the heat to go get a work out in. When I get there they didn’t let my nephew in even though the plan comes with 1 FREE guest per month. They didn’t let him go in. That’s a bunch of bull why didn’t they put that in their website that. In their website it clearly says 1 free guest a month that’s what I pay for and it says it comes included with my plan. I WILL NOT BE STAYING WITH THIS GYM and their lies!!!

I've been been a member for 3 years now. It's what I look for in a gym. The staff is friendly, as are the members, there's no complicated contract or yearly fee, you can book appointments for a 1 hour and 15 minute workout. Open as early as 5:30am. 2nd floor had a track to run (currently closed due to covid). I would encourage anyone in North and South Lawndale to become a member.

I've been coming to this gym for about a year I would say. I have grown to love not only the place, but everyone here as well. I enjoy the equipment it has for all fitness levels. One thing I did notice though is this gym doesn't offer chalk. I was wondering if this was a temporary thing, due to covid, because I don't recall there ever seeing chalk. I believe it would be appreciated by myself and many others if this gym would offer complimentary chalk to everyone as many other gyms do. But overall this gym is great.

I loved it but the space is overcrowded with workout machines its too many it needs to be walking room so its a little congested

Good service, they are friendly and they help with anything and if you don't have insurance you pay as little as $30 depending on how much you get paid

Positive, up-beat atmosphere and friendly staff.Anthony “The Hamlin Hulk” is my #1 inspiration to go to this gym 🇺🇸 …

Lovely community gym. It hasn't been overcrowded when I went there at ~10a-12p or 4-6p. Has your basic equipment

I discovered Lawndale Christian Fitness Center during the packet pick-up for Lawndale 5K which was where the packet pick-up was located. Instantly, I bookmarked it after noticing how much it offers and its price which mirrors my current membership at Breakthrough FamilyPlex in East Garfield Park neighborhood. The gym itself became an option for me to workout at on Sunday because Breakthrough FamilyPlex is closed on Sunday. It is a bummer if you are a fitness enthusiast because you are subjected to just Monday to Saturday gym workouts only at Breakthrough FamilyPlex.I took advantage of and will most likely continue using Lawndale Christian Fitness Center's $5 day pass option on days like such. You cannot beat a day pass for such a low price at a gym that offers so much. In the past, I have paid prices for a day pass that doesn't offer half of what this fitness center offers. Even though I live a little over 2 miles from the fitness center I have considered making it my permanent fitness center because of its affordable $15 membership cost as well.I about lost it with excitement after walking on the second floor, seeing the machines and equipment for just about any workout you would want to conduct. It certainly makes my current fitness center look like a mini gym in comparison with its selection of weights, machines: treadmill & elliptical, spin bikes; fitness programs and an indoor track which is beautifully designed, taking you around the perimeter of the inner portion of the gym. And it does not stop there because not only does it have flat screen televisions on both workout floors to keep you occupied during or in-between your workouts but televisions in the locker rooms also.Furthermore, prior to leaving Lawndale Christian Fitness Center I discovered Green Tomato Cafe, a cafe that sits in the same building across from the fitness center, offering free Wi-Fi and a selection of food and beverages to choose from. The cafe itself is clean and spacious with a number of tables, seats and an area featuring a couch, giving it that comfortable homely touch for relaxation.As for parking, there is an ample amount suitable for members and guests. The building to the fitness center, Lawndale Christian Health Center has its own lot, plus if it gets congested, there is neighborhood and street parking near, as well. And, if you are one that does not drive, yet familiar with Chicago Transit Authority, the fitness center sits not too far in-between CTA Pulaski & Central Park - Pink Line.In the meantime, Lawndale Christian Fitness Center has contributed to my desire to workout more with everything it offers, times and days it is accessible. I am very grateful it exists and that I live close enough to utilize it on the west-side of Chicago. I highly recommend!Thomas G
