Best Gyms with Free Weights near Oak-park, Illinois

Not worth it unless you're rich. Membership fees are $100+/month and one hour of court time costs $75 (on top of membership fee) during the week. Gym facilities are decent at best.

I love it here. These are my pickleball home courts. The people are awesome & I’ve made some great friends thru PB open play & tournaments. Vera & Johnny are great it’s worth the quick 20 minute drive from the city & just over the border in Oak Park.

The hours aren't great and the facilities are a little run down, but the staff are amazing, the classes are varied and usually have low attendance (hello, free one-on-one yoga class, don't mind if I do!), and there is always plenty of equipment to go around. This is not a "nice" gym, but it is perfect for me!

I signed up a Yoga class for my daughter on Thursday, June 29th. She planned on buying new Yoga clothes and start the class on the following Monday. Unfortunately, she got hospitalized over the weekend. Monday, I stopped by this facility to discuss the refund and a counter person told me that there was no manager available. He advised me to sent email to the manager, Polly G., Tennis and Fitness center. So, I sent email to Polly. I had not heard from her, I sent her another email on July 7th. No replies. The facility is nearby me, so I stopped by Sunday, July 9th to talk to someone. Then, I was told that Polly was no longer there. I was told me to stop by next day, Monday to talk with Patrick, General Manager. So, I went back to the facility after sending two emails and stopping by twice. Patrick offered me alternative that he could extend the time. I told him that it is not known at this point when my daughter will be released. I told him that I'd prefer cancel it and re-sign when she comes back. Then, his attitude changed. He said that he couldn't sign a check. He would needed to verify with Yoga instructor whether my daughter attended or not. I was amazed how much I had to go through to get the refund and how unorganized the management was for even issuing a refund check. I asked him to let me know and left for home. He said he would. He never called. I went back Thursday, July 13th. Now, this time Patrick was rude. To begin with, his face was stone cold. He said he left a message to my daughter's voice mail. He could only communicate with her since it was her account. I told him that she is in the hospital and has no access to phone. Then, he changed his reasoning, saying, "How do I know if YOU paid or she paid." I told him that I used my credit card and asked him to check his computer to verify the card number. He found the last four digits of my credit card and I showed my credit card. They matched and it prove that I was the one who paid. Then, he got so agitated and told me that he won't refund the money anyways. I asked why, and he said the membership was non-refundable. OMG. if it was the reason and he should have told me at the first place. If he told me early, I could have walked away. He didn't have to come up with hundreds of excuses not giving the refund. Then, he got so rude, yelled at me to leave. His demeanor changed to a rude and unprofessional man. He yelled at me that he won't refund and told me not to come back. I didn't understand why he was so rude. I became dumbfounded by his unprofessional insane conduct. He even called the cops telling them that I was yelling at him. This man was losing his mind. I was disgusted with his rudeness. The cops came. They heard both sides of story. I told them that I won't be back to this place. The cops said I could explore other ways to complain like Reviews on website and Word of mouths. I thanked to the cops and I left the place. Here I am writing my experience with this man. One of his staff said that this man is a co-owner. What a moron with no mannerism or customer service!! I wanted to file complaints in BBB and found this facility wasn't even registered at BBB. I like to warn Oak Park'ers not to deal with Patrick. There are a plenty of Yoga places in Oak Park. This facility may be good for some people but dealing with this man will give you a bad taste. This is why I am giving ONE star for this facility. Watch out!

Staff was nice but not much help. The inside is dark, outdated and it seems like circulating the same air, no fresh. I wouldn't spend money to join. There are much better place for cheaper rate.

Came here for a drop in, my friend is a member. I drop in all over the country and this place was top notch. Great equipment, great culture and vibe, but most of all it was solid programming and coaching. Thanks for having me!

I had a great time dropping in on a class. Coach David made communication easy and Coach Liz was so much fun to train with. The class was challenging enough to get a good sweat in & the members were really inviting. Highly recommend & i will be returning.

This place is awesome! The coaches are super friendly and make sure you feel right at home. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great gym experience!

Stayed in Oak Park for about a month and joined CrossFit Spero for the duration of my time there. I highly recommend giving this gym a shot, the community is very friendly as are the coaches. The coaches do a great job making new members feel comfortable and give strong feedback to improve posture/ technique. I really enjoyed the programming at the gym too, each week seemed to build on top of the previous week so I noticed improvement with each class. After only fifteen classes I definitely felt stronger and in better shape, join CrossFit Spero!

I have been here for almost 3 years now so I thought I'd update my review. CrossFit Spero is an incredible place to train, and I can't say enough about how much I love being a part of this community. Everyone is supportive, encouraging, and always pushing each other to be their best. The coaches at CrossFit Spero are top-notch. They are not only knowledgeable but also deeply invested in helping each member reach their personal goals. They take the time to ensure that everyone is using proper form and scaling workouts to fit individual abilities, which has been key in helping me progress safely and effectively. Their enthusiasm is contagious, and they always know how to motivate us to push past our limits while keeping things fun. What really sets CrossFit Spero apart for me is how every workout feels like a new challenge. The programming is varied and thoughtful, ensuring that no two days feel the same. It also keeps changing every few months to keep you on your toes. I’ve seen so much growth in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness since joining. If you're looking for a gym where you'll be motivated to push yourself while being surrounded by an amazing community of people, CrossFit Spero is the place to be!
