Since I've joined this club, my experience has been nothing short of amazing. The gym is always clean, and the staff is very helpful. I love the fact that everything is at an arms length, and always available if needed.

I REALLY ENJOY THIS GYM . I workout 4 days a week , sometimes two times a day . The staff at the front desk are always so friendly and willing to help. I’ve been to other gyms before but VASA is totally a cut above them all. I like doing my own workout routines on some days , but with class they offer I can mix it up .My favorite class is dance fitness on Mondays with Lauren , I never miss a class . Lauren teaches a fabulous upbeat high energetic powerful workout class .I give her class a five star , and she always inform us of upcoming events happening at VASA .

The gym has a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff members are very kind and professional. Returning to the gym for me has been a very daunting task however, I am glad I chose Vasa to strengthen myself not only physically, but spiritually, and mentally as well. The amenities offered by the gym are fantastic at a great price. I will be here for a long time to come.

Update - just found out the only class I was paying for was cancelled and the instructor is no longer available. Most popular person/class at the gym is gone, so not sure the point of going when I pass 4 other gyms just to take that class.I have officially hit 4 months at VASA. I’d never had success with any gym memberships but the variety of the dance-focused classes really got my attention. I had never been in to fitness and had such a hard time holding myself accountable in the past, so I didn’t expect my journey to last very long. My first fitness class was the Monday night Dance Fitness class and I was blown away. I was finally challenged, and I felt myself getting a workout but most of all I was smiling the entire time. Lauren introduced herself to me, and introduced me to some other attendees. My gym friendships blossomed and this lead to more involvement at the gym, learning about fitness techniques, studio classes and other opportunities to participate in fitness that I never considered. Lauren still greets me every week and pushes me to make progress. She invited me to other classes and now I won’t miss out on any of my 5 weekly classes. I’m so thankful my journey lead to this gym and staff - it makes something that was once so hard for me seem so easy and attainable. THANK YOU Lauren and Team!

When I think of VASA, the first thing that comes to mind is Lauren Lion. Lauren’s energy and professionalism is unmatched in this industry. She has the ability to meet anyone, on any level, at any time. At the VASA location in Joliet SHE IS the HEARTBEAT. Showing care and concern for all. I must say in all the gym memberships I have had over the years, not one can compare to VASA. And that is largely in part due to Lauren. I had been out of the gym recently with an injury. And while I was away, she continued to check on me to see how I was doing. Prior to me being out, she would also check in if she noticed I had not been in my regular classes. Monday night “Dance Fitness” is one of the hottest classes and my favorite, instructed by none other than Lauren! She will nudge you just enough to get you out of your comfort zone, and help you succeed in achieving your goals.Always greeted with a BIG smile anytime you enter or leave the facility . . .Lauren is VASA, and VASA is Lauren Lion!*** The entire staff at VASA are very friendly, knowledgeable, and bring a great atmosphere to the facility!

Great value, friendly staff. Class schedule works within my needs. I’m always able to use the cardio equipment when I need. Patrons are respectful of others and equipment. Convenient location.

I’ve been going to Vasa for about 8 months now. At first, it was absolutely fantastic. We LOVE the child care workers and the front desk staff but lately, the members have been getting rude and there’s not enough equipment for how packed it gets (also, child care is on a reservation system and lately in their evening hours it’s hard to get a time slot reserved). I used to be in and out in an hour and now, good luck getting two machines in that time frame. Either from a group of teens taking 30-45 minutes to get off, or it’s someone sitting on their phone taking 10 minutes in between sets. It’s extremely frustrating when your child care time there is limited. Weights are hardly re racked and equipment is never wiped down. If people would learn (or simply respect) basic gym ettiequte, Vasa would be 100% theeee gym.

I am nervous around new places/people. It took a lot to make me enter those doors. When I entered I was greeted with a friendly face and excellent service. I have no motivation and every morning I cannot wait to try a new class. From swimming to cycling, yoga and circuit training every instructor is there to make you feel comfortable and go at your own pace. Thank you vasa for making me feel welcome and to help me start my new journey to a healthier me.

Gym is in great condition, but we need to talk about all the kids going on the equiptment and just sitting on their phones. It shouldn't take 8 minutes to get 1 set done. So multiply that by 3 sets and that's what you get. Other than that this place is great.

Clean facility, Great selection of machines and the pool/spa area is legit. only thing that sucks is its super packed :/ Very hard to get a decent workout in with so many people on their phones hogging up all the equipment. I recommend going very early or right before noon. anything after that is really busy
