Best Gyms with Free Wi Fi near Chicago, Illinois

I love this place! The group classes are excellent, the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the gym is always clean and never too crowded. I highly recommend it.

Best gym ever! I went here for 2.5 years and loved it every time I set foot in here. With Ramie, Bob, and Michael running the place you’ll always be greeted with a friendly smile. The gym has great energy but isn’t overly busy. Great equipment and the group classes are awesome. Highly recommend this gym to anyone in Chicago.

Has almost everything you could want in a gym, with some great extra perks (hot towels, pool, smoothie bar, snack station, free samples). It's a little pricier but worth the cost because their group classes are actually very good here. People from other FFC locations have come to be my guest here because of the instructors. Only downside is parking can be difficult (there is a parking garage but it's always very full) and it needs more free weight/open space for workouts. Otherwise, very highly recommend!

I did 2 private Pilates sessions with Grace and she was 10/10 wonderful! She was very supportive and a great teacher during these beginner sessions.

Ramie Reed, the Membership Director, was absolutely wonderful to work with. She has always been exceptionally pleasant, supportive, and understanding. I also loved working with Michael for personal training. He supported me with very thoughtful, beneficial, and fun workouts. The facilities were always in great condition. Thank you FFC! The only downside I have to report, which is mostly out of FFC's control, was repeatedly encountering people in the sauna who seemed to have a cold or some other transmissible respiratory illness. I just think it's inconsiderate to potentially get other people sick by using such a small, unventilated space while ill.

When the Kroc Center first opened years ago, I went for information on joining. It was not a good experience. The people I spoke to was not customer service oriented. I didn't join. Last week, I went back and had an entirely different experience. I can give the Kroc Center 5 stars for the customer service I experienced. I spoke with Beverly. She was approachable, nice, friendly, and very helpful. She was very customer service oriented. I will become a member.

It was my 1st time doing the Sista Strut breast cancer awareness walk, and I absolutely loved it!! From the stage set-up to all the different booths giving out freebies and informational things about breast cancer. I'm definitely doing this every year. The weather was perfect and the sun was shining. #Save the Ta-Ta's!! #mammogram #awareness #sistastrut #pink I walked for family and friends

When is the Krc Center going to make signing kids up for camp easier?! Why must I have to come up in person everytime to fill out the same sheet and pay? Shouldn't we be able to do it online?

The Kroc Center offers everything you desire from a gym and community center. This stylish, modern community center offers indoor and outdoor activities for all ages. The Center has a swimming pool and lap pool, indoor water park, spa, indoor and outdoor tracks and basketball courts. It's a great place.

Great faith based place for families. Lots of classes for adults and kids. You can book a waterpark birthday party. Also rent out the banquet room for an event. They also have a daycare and a cafe. Security on staff. Thank you to the Kroc family for investing in this community!

Edited on 12/13 to add: The reply from the owner is strange. I was told to contact the manager. Is the owner too lazy to contact his own manager and tell him to clean the place? What a joke this gym is. I took my review from 2 stars to 1 star because the owner seems like a lazy slob that can't even contact his own manager. Perhaps the owner should clean his own showers and replace the nasty rusty lockers with the gang graffiti! The gym area is nice enough (except for some areas that badly need cleaned), but the locker room is DISGUSTING! The lockers are rusty & dirty, have gang graffiti, and the showers looked like they hadn't been cleaned in weeks. GROSS! Do better, Planet Fitness.

Mostly not busy even after all the new years resolution people started (which is pretty cool). Nice people and great workers there. Been going here for almost a year now. No complaints so far.

I've already bragged about this location! New to the city! Honestly best Planet I've to. Tommy,....my trainer AMAZING ! sign up with him if you're Black Card member I'll work out with you! Nicest guy ever! Super patient! From California! He will whip you into shape

The most important reason that I like this club is the personnel. The manager, Eric, welcomed me and has always been pleasant and professional. I truly appreciate his responsiveness to my suggestions. Ricardo, Mariah, Dalia, Louis and others have been kind, helpful and always provide encouragement, which I truly appreciate because I truly DISLIKE working out. The cleanliness of this club is outstanding. I work out in the morning between 4:30a-7a, 4-5 days/week. The dressing rooms and showers are always clean. I appreciate that since I leave and go straight to work. I live over 45 minutes away but this location is less than 15 minutes from work which is excellent. And lastly, I enjoy the people that work out at the gym. I tend to see the same people and everyone is friendly and respectful. They are quick to offer a smile and space when I don't feel like being social or advice and/or conversation if I'm open to it. Ultimately, no complaints.

Recently they remodeled the place and it looks much better, I like that they added from small to big items around the place. I like that they divided the stretching area upstairs, making the space bigger, they added more machines and the setup is better. I like the LED lights in the washroom as well as the addition of the hair drier, and the soap in the showers is a plus. The Black card area also got a makeover and it looks better than before. I do miss the chairs in the space after taking a shower, it makes it easier to put on my shoes. I'll keep coming back. The WiFi does not work but hopefully it will get fixed. older review is as follows. Signed up since the gym is not far and it's inexpensive. 10 for just one gym and 22 for access for all locations and you can invite someone with you. As for signing up, I had to come back a few times since they weren't clear on what I needed. But once signed up, I am going on the morning and it's usually not crowded. Plenty of machines and lockers. Got a free shirt unfortunately it's made of cotton so I will not be working out with it. Plenty of parking.

Overall this is a really good intermediate gym if you aren’t looking for anything specialty. What I like is everything always works, it’s clean, well staffed, and has just about everything possible to get a decent workout in a short time. It’s a little crowded and sardined canned which is expected in Chicago and it’s January at a gym. Still the best value for any gym around. One only significant downside is there isn’t much of a “community” feel there but it’s a sign of the times not representative of the gym. Good people just not the camaraderie of a smaller private gym.

Staff here is great. Super friendly and always makes me feel welcome. Most know me by name. Being greeted with a smile every time I walk in, is one of the highlights of my day. Equipment is always clean. Love the new machines. The only 2 complaints i have is there are not nearly enough stairmasters, and the non-enforcement of members putting equipment away.

I love how friendly and helpful the staff is. Kudos to Vanessa at the Foster/Irving Park gym for keeping the facility tidy and for being so helpful. The facility is always clean as I see the staff constantly cleaning machines, lockers, and the floors. The fees are very reasonable. Highly recommended!

Definitely not as good as ZIP fitness though for as little as $10 a month with what do you expect. They simply do not have as much free weights as Zip Fitness once had which has me looking at other options for a gym membership. The parking lot is huge and you can always find parking. Hours have improved from Zip Fitness. A good gym for someone who is a beginner to an intermediate.

Clean, all the machines work not overcrowded quite atmosphere. Everyone is very nice. I've been going here for three years, almost everyday.

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.

This club is so nice! Staff is friendly, the locker room is clean and spacious, the floors are open and airy with natural light, and the mind/body studio is quite pleasant. The outdoor pool is my favorite. It gets great sun and you can order smoothies and snacks right to your lounger. Nicole is the cafe manager, and she's super welcoming. It's just a really fun vibe at the pool!

While the fitness areas are more crowded than I’d prefer, the spa is super underrated. Been working specifically with therapist Huber regularly and he hits the right blend of being therapeutic and relaxing. He can dig in while also very attentive to what you’re looking to achieve. Try FFC union station for better fitness experience.

One of the best gyms I have ever trained at- however- people give off an elitist vibe which is kind of a turn off. 4/5

I just hate the fact that to get an answer for monthly membership, you need to hear a whole script then be told how the prices vary, then be told someone will have to call you back. I had a membership & cancelled but my son would like one now, I was willing to see if it would work but I feel like I’m at a timeshare event, Everything a secret… then you sign!

This place has really gone down hill. The one true positive here is the cleaning staff - they do a great job keeping the place looking good. Almost everyone else on the payroll from management to the front desk is either completely inept or entirely indifferent to doing their job. Equipment is also often broken for prolonged periods of time, the layout of the gym itself makes no sense, and the showers tend to go from hot to scalding without notice. The pool is great, that is until it gets so crowded from all the outside nonmember day guests they let in on the weekend that you can't find a chair. They also keep raising prices, and for what you are actually getting in return it's pretty ridiculous. It's basically a way overpriced LA Fitness with a pool. We've decided to cancel. It's just not the same gym it used to be before covid.
