This gym was ok but it's super shady that they just closed down unexpectedly due to an eviction enforced by the sheriff. There are no other gyms around. Luckily there's a great Pilates studio just down the block so you can still get a good workout. If you were a member of this gym check out Logan Square Pilates and Core. Honestly they have some awesome instructors. That's where I'll be going from now on.

Closed Abruptly. Notice of eviction on the door. Otherwise was a nice gym

UPDATE: this place has suddenly and unexpectedly closed. Eviction notices all over the door. There's a phone number listed, but no one answered. Incredibly sad to lose my beloved neighborhood gym! Everyone who worked there was nice, but it seems the owner was a real piece of work. He failed to pay rent and then disappeared. If you're in my situation (purchased an annual membership in advance), call your credit card company and dispute the charge. They're working on a partial refund for me for the months of service lost.
I love this little gym. Everyone who works there is super nice. It's never too crowded - seems to hit that sweet spot between ritzy overpriced gyms and cheapo bargain gyms where the people who come there do so because they're serious about working out. I never have to wait for a squat rack, and everyone lets everyone else do their own thing. Plus, the location is great!

FYI:
Evicted as of 2/26/2018. Website is up, texts for renewing memberships were flying a few weeks ago, but the joint is definitely gone. It seems safe to say they're not coming back.
Too bad, it was a dope spot.
Clean, always operating equipment, and towel service. Great gym overall!

Can get pretty busy at the usual times on weekdays (6-8am and 5-8pm). The equipment is clean and up to date. There is only one power rack which can be an issue at times. Friendly staff, great value and location, next to the Logan Square Blue Line, with several parking spots in the back (ask the staff where the spots are).
Update: Another power rack has been added!
It's always clean and usually easy to get on the machines you need. The classes are great as well - kickboxing was my favorite!
Been with the gym for about 8 months and been very happy enough with my membership to renew. The price is reasonable - usually around 30/month during a promotion.
Pros:
Locker rooms are nice
A lot of machines
Barbell power-lifting equipment
Staff is great
Clientele is pretty chill
Cons:
(7/15/2017) *Now two squat racks!* Only one squat rack
Gets BUSY during peak hours
Music is loud and annoying, but this doesn't bother me - headphones easily drown it out
I gave it five stars so you can tell the cons are not bad at all
Cool Gym. It can get a little crowded during peak hours, but it's in a convenient location and has decent equipment.
I love this neighborhood gym. It is big enough as to find all you need, without the corporate feeling of monster gyms like LA Fitness or XSport etc. The membership is affordable and the fitness classes are included. It also has two more branches in Lakeview (Southport) and Wicker Park.

Two years ago I bought a one way ticket to GAINZville in the form of a membership to Logan's best steel sanctuary. My friends all call me the beekeeper now because I'm so swollen it looks like my muscles were ravaged by angry bees.
The pros:
-Friendly and helpful staff.
-Clean environment.
-Obviously cool and supportive members of all levels.
-Best place to skip leg day.
-Price is right so I can still afford to eat my weight in Whey protein everyday.
The cons:
-I'm so jacked after my workout that the stairs are getting too narrow for me to climb down when I'm on my way home.
-The music isn't played loud enough. I need to be able to hear the tunes over the screams of my biceps on arm day AKA: everyday.
The workout classes here are great! Small room, but it gets the job done. Kelly's class is the best :) Staff is super friendly, locker room is always really clean. My one suggestion would be to buy a few more sets of 8, 10 and 12 pound weights, because sometimes we would run out for class. I would definitely recommend this gym to a friend... also, being able to utilize Wicker Park Fitness as well is a huge plus!
I love it here! The place is super clean and organized, the showers are great! the machines and all that is available is wonderful and well maintained. In addition, I have found the staff since day 1 warm, friendly and engaged. I am so grateful to have them in our neighborhood. And because it is so close I am at the gym all the time and the health benefits have been spectacular. I only wish some other elder folks in our nieghborhood would come on in and join too!
