Chicago Health & Fitness

Love it!!! Family oriented gym!!! ❤️

Old school gym meets modern cardio and family friendly gym. Very clean, very friendly gym.

On this listed date, Thursday October 26th 2023 at approximately 1635, Mr Mario (gym owner) had confronted me about some issue with the men's restroom the male locker room. He had stated he checked his cameras within the week, accused me of flushing x amount of brown paper towels down his toilets, I had to explain and tell him I use the Sam's club or Walmart wet wipes to clean myself before and after using the restroom, at home or in public. He began to size up and attempt berate me saying he's 100% convinced I had clogged his toilets up and he had to send a professional plumber to rod out and clean the lines, claiming it was brown paper towels. Now I'm not the only one in the gym, I'm not the only one to use the bathroom, but he stated he's convinced I used brown towels to clean up. He said he didn't want an explanation, yet you question what I used to wipe myself up? Seriously? So when situations arise, he will attempt coercion and an explanation, but when he asks you to explain yourself he doesn't want an explanation only admission of something he's accusing you of. Then he goes on to tell the people he's working out with the situation, everything treated as gossip to try and exalt himself as the victim. He'll throw your business out there in the open. As he said he's 100% convinced, check your cameras again bud, am I supposed to flaunt and parade I'm taking a bathroom break each time and I have wet wipes in my pocket? No, I doubt that.I cancelled my membership right then and there for myself and my son's who also workout there since I am paying for it. Mr. Mario told me he's in the middle of working out he will take care of it later, and there's nothing for me to sign. But he can disturb my workout, ok fine, have it your way.I will take my money and business elsewhere, since he wants to berate and accuse someone of this matter. I was never late on payments nor had an issue paying. I mean, there are trash cans inside the men's locker room by the hand dryer, and outside the water fountains, all over the place, but when the urinals don't flush, showers don't drain, and toilets get backed up, the last person when he checked his beloved cameras in the locker room is to blame? I find it strange he's checking who goes into the bathrooms at what specific times to try and accuse people of a crime something they didn't do. But when another situation arises, his cameras didn't see anything, suits you when conveniently needed.So these are a problem now?

Don’t do it. Horrible place rude owner. Changing room/ restroom, needs a very deep clean. You can smell the musty smell as soon as you enter the facility. Definitely need to take precautions to not catch Ringworm or a Staph infection. Equipment out dated. Seats ripped up. Some items are secured with duct tape. Equipment missing piece. As for Treadmills some work sometimes.Definitely do a walkthrough of the whole facility before you commit because they will not cancel contracts no matter what life circumstances are present.

Staff always helpful and respectful. For a local gym better equipment than some mainstream gyms

It’s dirty nothing ever works. The urinals don’t flush. Do like everybody else and go to the YMCA or planet fitness.

This gym is horrible, even after your contract is over they'll keep charge you. Save yourself the trouble and go to planet fitness.

Great gym. Tons of equipment and friendly service.

Great place to work out. Super nice owner and very clean environment. Would recommend to everyone.

If you want to lift weights in a great atmosphere, this is your gym. The staff is courteous and polite. They check you in with a smile and say goodbye when you leave. Very, very, nice people. Well hired for lack of a better term. Mario did a great job in this regard.The owner (Mario) is a gentleman. He has forgotten more about weightlifting than most people know. He treats everyone with respect and kindness. The rates are very competitive and you will enjoy working out here.This gym offers kids care so Mom's can work out while their little one is watched. It also has a top notch full shower area and spacious locker rooms. Tanning is an option and they have 3 beds. Very affordable!The gym is equipped with all the latest and greatest equipment. If you can't find a machine to use to get you where you're going, you can use free weights and vis versa. They also have a stretch room that is very large with a rubber floor (quiet). They have classes in all sorts of aerobic exercise here. Check it out. You won't be disappointed!In closing I would like to thank Mario for providing a great place to get pumped up!
