Great gym! I highly recommend the personal trainer program (if Andrew has an open slot, you'll want to take that ASAP).

30 day notice for cancellations? You’re effectively forced to pay for an extra month after you cancel; incredibly poor business practice. Will not be coming back.

Great facilities and a great staff. Hardly ever have to wait for equipment, even during peak periods. Are they the only affordable gym that has figured out the correct ratio of cardio and weight training equipment? It very well could be the case. I've been a member for 5 months and it has been a blast.

I have been working out at River North Gym for three years. The gym is very well stocked for every type of workout. In the beginning of 2020 I started to train with Andrew; his workout plans and guidance have allowed me to improve my lifting and put a focus on health eating. Teaming with Andrew was the next step that I needed to improve. If looking for gym with big heart and no ego look no further.

Long time member of the gym. Extremely clean and the staff is always polite and welcoming. Trained with Ash Dunwell for 6 sessions recently. He's very knowledgeable and provided me with a custom training schedule as well as nutritional information. Each session was tougher than the last! Highly recommend him as a personal trainer.

This is a great gym with friendly and supportive staff. They have a variety of solid equipment with 3 times more squat racks than the 3 story CAC I’ve been to in the past. I’ve been doing personal training for about a year and half with Andrew and couldn’t be happier with my progress. I’m 5’11 and went from 155 pounds of skin and bones to 190 pounds lean muscle. Recently Andrew encouraged me to compete in a local powerlifting lifting meet which has been a blast to train for (but not easy). Weight lifting is no longer just exercise to me but is now a sport I love. Thanks RNG!

I really liked this gym. The fitness classes were the best! Werq with Heidi and Zumba with Yara were legendary.

The River North Gym continues to charge me after I cancelled my membership. There were no documents signed by me stating any contract length or cancellation policy. I went in to cancel my membership, they stated I would no longer be charged and that it was cancelled. They continue to charge me and I continue to have to fight it.

If you work/live near the Mart, getting a membership to this gym is a no brainer. The staff is excellent. They facilities and machines are great. If you like sqaut racks like I do - you'll be impressed with the amount they have in their relatively small space. Prices are reasonable. While I never explored any myself - they also offer free group classes which people seem to like. Thank you for being an honest business, you're providing a great service to the public.
