Best Gyms with 24 Hour Access near Chicago, Illinois

They stole the krabby Patty secret formula from me. (Picture in different location) got a grace pass from them. Front desk needs a raise. Super clean, but most people that go here are literally psychopaths (doctors/surgeons, Lawyers, business owners). It's basically like an adult college campus. Other than that, 10/10 would recommend if you have the money.

I don't think I can say anything bad about "LifeTime". It was clean, friendly staff and great amenities. They have a snack room and outdoor rooftop sitting. For those with kids, you have no excuse. They have a kids area(babysitting). Afterwork working out, you can visit the spa: hot tub, sauna, steam room, and the cold(ice) pool. You can even have a shower and blow dry your hair. Then, your back on the road

This newly added location in Chicago, belonging to the Lifetime brand, is truly exceptional. The gym floor's vast expanse is impressive and magnificent, featuring all the standard Lifetime sections and more. Additionally, there's an indoor and outdoor pool available for an extra fee, and the club remains open 24 hours in Gold Coast Chicago. The views from both the gym floor and the pool are splendid. Conveniently, there's a Whole Foods store on the ground floor, making it a comprehensive facility. However, there are some drawbacks. During weekend mornings, the gym floor can get incredibly crowded, often dominated by college groups or unknown gatherings, which can be bothersome for those trying to use the machines and bars. While they offer amenities like a cold plunge, sauna, and steam room, there's a need for better signage to educate members about proper behavior, such as not leaving towels everywhere. Furthermore, it's important for members to rinse or shower before using the hot tub or cold plunge, as wearing underwear or sweat-soaked sport shorts can introduce unwanted elements into the water. This practice can compromise the water quality, potentially remaining unchanged for an extended period of time.

Hands down my all time favorite lifetime fitness location (and I’ve been to MANY), and not just for Chicago. The inside is massive, well kept, and always has equipment available despite how busy it gets. The value for this location is also great especially when you compare it with the NYC locations. And the lifetime cafe in this gym is awesome! They actually have a lot of delicious and healthy food options here

I have been a member more than six months and love the gym. I go to gym very early in the morning and see Heather at the front desk almost every time. She is the best in the team. She cares ,a good listener , a problem solver, is giving the best advices.

Unfortunately, this was my least-friendly interaction I’ve had since moving to Chicago a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been looking for a new gym since I got here, and realized there was a gym within walking distance which was perfect. After trying to call repeatedly to get no answer or ability to leave a message, I decided to just walk down to the gym. When we got to the doors, they were both locked. There were people standing just inside the door, and we saw that there was a buzzer, so we pressed it. The person that answered the door stood in the doorway and with the snarkiest tone possible said “can I help you guys?” When I said we had just come by to check out the gym, we got another sour-faced response “do you have an appointment?” No. We didn’t. Mainly, because no one answered the phone when we called. It’s ok, there are plenty of gyms in Chicago. This one apparently doesn’t need my money, so I’ll take it elsewhere.

Great staff, clean facility. It’s on the smaller side but there’s plenty of equipment that can be modified for a more dynamic workout. They provide a very friendly atmosphere as well. My only gripe is the music. It’s really unbearable at times. Typically at a gym you have something upbeat and motivating, but they be playing the most random and weird stuff. Not an issue with headphones of course, but if you don’t have any or want to workout with someone else the music is really distracting, when you’re trying to lock into the zone and maximize your workout. That play folk, country, and just music you don’t expect at a gym because it doesn’t push you. Maybe not a big deal for others but it’s noticeable to me every visit.

This gym is one of the best I've been to in Chicago -> Dan and the rest of the team keep this place spotless, and it is never too crowded which is a nice change from some of the other gyms in the area. As an added perk, you can pop to the Anytime on Broadway (or other locations around the city!). Absolutely recommend for those looking to join a friendly, clean and convenient gym.

The temperature inside was great today, not too cold nor too warm, perfect and natural (2pm - August 19th) the gym’s clean and well equipped with modern machines too

Been going here for almost eight years. Small with no frills, but very clean and efficient. Customer service is first rate.
