I go for spin class on mondays and wednesdays. I'm not a small girl and I was very scared to walk in this class. The amazing lady geneva made me feel so welcomed. She pushed me to levels I never knew I could go. I'm so excited for mondays and Wednesdays to come to her class!! I have learned to push my self and keep pushing even when I wanna stop. Spin class is a must if u wanna burn a lot of calories and push yourself!!

I go to this gym just to spend time and learn from their staff member Anthony. Such a caring young man -- and very knowledgable about health and fitness. I wish other gyms had this quality of staff-- but alas, they do not.

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!

First off, I love the fact that it's Christian based. The music is really uplifting. The staff is friendly, but the people working out has become like a family, very friendly, helpful, encouraging and inspiring!!

This is my local Gym. I work out here several times a week. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I run their annual 5k and occasionally take some classes here. It is a nice little community here. Still trying to get them to build a swimming pool!

This place plays Christian music while you workout!!!... What a wonderful motivation!.. indoor track, 30+ free classes, great healthy food and drinks at affordable prices! I love the atmosphere! Membership price is affordable as well. No commitment. Pay monthly and enjoy everything this gym has to offer! I just wish they stayed open longer on Fri. Sat. and Sun.

I love this place! Seniors to youths all have a great place in Lawndale for health and workout programs. Great upfront and honest affordable pricing. Very good equipment, pool, sauna, weights, treadmills, basketball court and more.

Great. The fitness center was very well equipped. The exercise class was good. They also have a track for walking or running. The facility appears to have everything you need to stay in shape.

Machines are always working, locker rooms are always clean. The staff is so friendly. They're main goal is to make you feel comfortable while your there. It's extremely welcoming.

Cool, down to earth place. Mr. B is cool. Once I was short on payment Mr. B made a nice deal with me. So in return I help out around the gym. Nice staff.

This place is pretty cool, the track is freaking awesome, I needed a indoor facility and forgot I have a membership here i never used. I've ran here every morning for a few days, I have one more week until my CPD test and this place is an idea training facility for the next couple months.
Awesome, very clean, friendly, and a little resturante connected. Look forward to finishing my training here.

Nice people. Good service.

This is such a great gym! They have an indoor track, and make the most use of the east side of their 1st and 2nd floor for gym equipment. It is family-oriented which means kids, adults and seniors can all enjoy what this gym has to offer. Because this gym is open to all, the environment is more relaxed and friendly compared to other gym chains. The sauna is the icing on the cake, but the one in the women's locker room is quite small. The hours are limiting, so make sure you try to get here early!

This is an excellent place for fitness. Very affordable $15 per mth classes included. Free secure parking. Great restaurant with healthy fresh options. Their medical facilities work well in conjunction with the fitness center.They offer a great deal of community support and programs. I love this place. The instructors motivate you and help you reach your goals. The HIT class is the best.

This is a really nice gym. The equipment is kept up well, they have a ton of free classes to choose from, very decent locker room and shower facilities, and in general it just feels clean and upbeat.

The instructors don't really seem to know what they are doing. I took a few classes there and informed the instructors that I hadn't worked out in a couple years and one instructor gave me work out that were way too advanced for me and I had very severe back pain. I also took a zumba class a few weeks later and the instructor for that class was a mess her lessons were all over the place. She didn't let you know what steps she was doing our what was next our even how many of certain dance move she was going to do. So disappointing. The class that are offered they was the man reason why i joined
