Wicker Park Athletic Club

Gym would be great if they would listen to what everyone is saying, which is to increase their open hours. Got kicked out at 7pm sharp toward the end of my workout. 7pm is so early for a gym to close, its just weird. There’s also a strangely low amount of weight plates available.

Closes as early as 7pm, even though longer hours are posted outside. Decent space but nothing special. They tried to charge me a $25 "late fee" when I changed credit cards and customer service was terrible when I called to dispute it.

Sales managers screw you - Choose a YMCA over these scammers.Like some others have already stated, cancelation and contract policy is scam-like at best, predatory and forceful at worst.Although there are options that help you pay at your own pace and keep you safe from their predatory "12 month contract" they don't tell you about them until its too late and you've already sold your soul to them through the convenience of a point of sale system when you sign up.Even when you are given "grace" with their "freeze" policy - they still charge you up the *ss if you don't cancel in time, of course, no one notifies you to do so on time.They do not care if you can't pay, they will send you to collections and lawyer up according to their VERY predatory contract which they do not disclose to you when you sign up.Read the fine print, or be charged thousands of dollars "with" your coerced consent -_-I feel bad for all the people I've had to repeatedly call and email for the past two months....

Member Beware: Very shady cancellation practices. SO tried cancelling 30 days in advance - charged. Then 30 days later (60 days if total of notification) tried cancelling - they said everything was good - still charged. Was told to cancel credit card just to make them stop charging. Horrible practices.

This is one of the best gyms I've been to with some of the worst hours. Before the pandemic they were closing at 11pm weekdays, 10pm weekends and 9pm Friday for some reason. Now it's 9pm weekdays, 7pm weekends, 8pm Friday. Ridiculous. This is the only gym I've been to in my life that closes every day before midnight, and it got worse after the pandemic. These people do not understand how people use gyms, which you would think is something that would be important to them. I'm down to 1 workout per week because the gym closes so early. I may have to switch to the smaller gym on Division.

Been a member for going on 3 years. Was great place pre Covid but seems like they have no interest in expanding their hours like they once were. 7pm for weekends and 9pm during the week for the price they charge us just not worth it anymore. Look for a different gym.

I have been visiting this gym for a long time. I really like it. Professional simulators, comfort and cleanliness in the hall, it's nice to be here. By the way, the prices are quite affordable, and about the staff and want to say: "Well done"

Gym kinda stinks. Been a member for about 4 years, only reason I still am is that the location is very convenient. Hours are really horrible compared to most gyms at this price point. Closing at 8 on a Friday is absurd. The club isnt cheap compared to other options but they cant pay for employees to stay til 9.Full of people with bad etiquette (but the employees are very nice). If youre serious about training this location is bad.Can't wait to move and get a new gym!

I was told on my first day that "cancellation was easy all you have to do is let us know and we'll take care of it". They don't tell you you have submit a 30 day written notice before ending your membership. They also don't have this policy accessible on their website. Shady stuff, beware.

Steer clear of this gym. This is a tiny facility that over charges all members. Cancellations have to be processed 2 months before, so when you cancel you are still paying for a gym membership you don’t want to use. Manager sits on top of the front desk when dealing with members, super unprofessional and looked childish. Sitting on top of a table trying to get money from clients. The gym itself is okay, for $80 you would think you would have access to something. You got a few benches, squat racks and some cardio machines. Might as well go to Lifetime fitness or Equinox, at least they have value for their price. Predatory, sleazy, sneaky, typically gym membership tactics, be aware before signing up.
