Only recently did I start frequenting IL Fitness. Not having a lot of gym experience, I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed up for a personal trainer, but my time has been nothing short of fantastic. Pete, my personal trainer, has been an absolute wonder to work with. Had I only gotten a membership and gone to the gym on my own, I likely would have stopped going by now. He has been a fantastic motivation as well as instructor. I've learned so much and can already feel improvements from the short time that I've been attending SF Fitness. Pete and SF Fitness have been an incredible addition to my life and I would recommend the gym to anyone.
I'm giving wicker park 4 stars because I came from the webster place gym that unexpectedly close. I really enjoyed Ariel yoga, the sauna/steam room and the overall space and amenities of webster place. Again, not a fault to wicker park. It's a difficult transition especially with the lack of space and parking ; it makes it hard to feel motivated to come in. In general staff is very nice, i do like the chicago athletic clubs format and classes.
My only other gripe is that I felt patronized when signing up for a returning membership. I was told while signing up due to my profession I would be getting a great deal. In actuality the sales rep just gave me the current promotion during the time. I didn't say anything in moment cause it happened very quickly but as I reflect that experience was really appalling to experience.
They're classes are overbooked 60% of the time and you have to fight for equipment even if you sign up.
CAC closed their Webster Place gym and provided less than 24 hours notice to members of closure. The closure obviously prompted me to request cancellation of my membership since Webster Place was the gym I visited and I still have to pay another 1.5 months as I did not give them 30 days notice. Just watch out when signing an all-club access membership, this place is a scam.
I'm moving to Chicago in the New Year and this gym is not friendly to letting people try out the gym like many of the other gyms in the area are. I got two sales aggressive emails pitching promotions before I even stepped in to check the gym. I will not be going here, I recommend Wicker Park Fitness instead for those in this area, the pricing is affordable and they actually let to check out the gym and their classes without bombarding you with sales info.
Music is consistently awful. Don't forget your headphones. Gym otherwise is great, nice layout

I normally go to BAC because I get off the Damen/blue line after work and go right in. Today is my day off so I decided to check this one out. I liked how the cardio machines are close to the work out equipment. It makes it easier to keep your heart rate up if you're looking to do a circuit work out. They also have a bigger variety of leg and ab machines. I don't think it's better than BAC, but if I have to choose where to go on back and leg day, it would be the Wicker Park location.

Cancellation policy is ridiculous, save yourself some money and go elsewhere. Can't believe they don't have better customer service when it comes to this type of stuff.

I loved this club until I had to move to another state months before my membership contract was up. I knew I would have to pay out my contract, however when I called to cancel, I was "too early" (2 months ahead of time) and she "couldn't do it at that time". They told me to call back in November and cancel. So...I called today and they say there's nothing they can do and I will have to pay for December too since I was not within the 30 days of my next payment. Wait...didn't I call really early and try to cancel? Ridiculous. I have patiently been paying every month for a gym I can't attend and they find a way to suck another month out of me? I talked to 3 different people and "there's nothing they can do". A facility of this size and reputation should try to be more accommodating to their members. I tried to tell the representative I talked to on the phone months ahead of time to "flag my account" or set up a reminder email...(even though I put one in my phone)...to make sure to cancel when my contract was up. Apparently, they don't care about the person, just the monthly payments. I am extremely disappointed.

Great gym for the price, very clean and friendly staff available for personal training.
Terrible customer service I wish I could give this place zero stars. A scam, all the CACs.
It's convenient if you live near by. It has enough equipment to choose from. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. Very clean place.
Clean, local gym for a fair price.
I only visit this club occasionally as I primarily go to West loop location. This is probably my least favorite CAC location as it gets very crowded, and when it gets crowded the studio floors gets dirty. They do not wipe down the studio floor in between as they schedule classes back to back and if you come after a sweaty class, the floor do get gross. Plus if you go to a class that doesn't need shoes and class before does wear shoe, your feet pick up all the dirt. They need to think about the way they schedule group classes. Otherwise the club is fine: clean locker rooms, professional staff, and fair equipment set.

Friendly staff, clean equipment and locker room. The studio has a very thin curtain facing the street which can be distracting during classes.
