Great gym! The staff is very friendly and there is a lot of great equipment to use. I was impressed that they have an actual area for deadlifting. Sometimes you have to wait for a bench or squat rack, but the patrons are usually very friendly if you just go up and ask them how many sets they have left, etc.
If you work an early shift, this place is a godsend. Nothing better than getting off at Southport, walking in for a nice workout, and get back on the train just before rush hour.
This is a great neighborhood gym for the price especially if you go outside of the busy hours. I also found out recently that for cancellations, they used to require a certified letter by USPS with a cancellation form and keycard returned to the facility, but they've eliminated that requirement to be more accommodating to their members. They'll now accept just an email for cancellation. Very convenient and cheaper than a certified letter!
A dollar and change per day. This gym is one of Chicagoland's best. Helluva deal, at a helluva steal.
They include classes, yoga, and spin. Plus, the place gets cleaned twice a day, which is huge for me. Cleanliness is godliness.
Great facilities, up-to-date machinery, and a really friendly, accommodating staff. 5 stars, 10/10 gym.
Nice reasonably priced gym and not overly crowded

Overall great gym! Though it's small, it has everything you need to get a great workout in and doesn't get that crowded even during peak hours. Never have to wait long for machines. Equipment is always clean and works well - staff keeps everything running smoothly! Membership is affordable for the quality. Good location too, right off the brown line and easy to get to from most of Lakeview.
Overall: You get what you pay for, and Southport fitness gets the job done. Plus, it's right off the brown line.
The good: Pretty good deal in terms of what you pay vs. what you get, especially if you catch one of their specials. The service is always friendly and helpful if you need them. They have WiFi too if you want to stream music/videos. There's not a TON of equipment or weights, but they have plenty to work with. Obviously, the biggest perk is that it's right off the brown line.
The not-so-good: The locker rooms are tiny, any more than 2 people at the same time is a crowd. Only 1 stall (in the men's), and there aren't very many lockers overall. Especially the bigger ones. There's also a few that don't lock correctly, even though I've told the service desk multiple times.
too small to where it doesn't have the necessities. Why waste space with classes?? Everyone knows that's just for fun but won't held serious weight loss or build muscle mass. It gets very hot in early morning and after work. Price point not worth the quality....
Gym is clean, variety of equipment and doesn't have a lot of waiting even for free weights. Expect 6:00-7:30 to be the busiest time frame the colder outside it is the more people there will be inside doing cardio.
Good membership prices, good atmosphere, modern equipment. The classes are useful and a great addition to being a member. I would definitely recommend it for Southport residents.
