  I’m a young powerlifter and me and my buddy have been working out for about 4 years now, we have been at this gym for about 2 years now. Ive been to plenty of gyms and have never had as bad of experiences at a gym besides this one. Members/Employees treat young members horribly, we have been reported, banned, yelled at, sworn at, etc, when all we want to do is workout. For example, yesterday a member was looking at my buddy like she was going to say something so he took off his headphones and politely asked if she would like to use the machine he was on, she proceeded to scoff at him and give him a dirty look and then report him and I. I cannot even get a workout here without being harassed and harassed and harassed. I cannot advise against getting a membership here enough.

  Honestly only go to this gym because there’s not that many other options close by. Everywhere in the gym is a “cell free” zone. For privacy…meaning even on cardio machines you can’t technically use phone. Had an employee “off shift” come up to me naked in sauna telling me I couldn’t listen to my music even though I wasn’t actively using my phone. I just had it on me because I’ve seen employees go in lockers. That they always have access to. Personally not comfortable with keeping my cell phone in a locker other people have access to. EXTREMELY uncomfortable with an employee coming up to me trying to correct me without clothes on. If you’re in lake bluff or lake forest area honestly worth biting the bullet getting a membership out of area. Today there was also an employee trying to catch people in locker room “on phone” intensively staring at people in locker room. They shouldn’t be as worried as “privacy for cell phones” as much as privacy in locker rooms for peeping toms. By peeping I mean somebody completely staring at you naked!!!!

  Excellent amenities, staff, and open atmosphere of the building which allows for superb airflow. I've been a member for 2 years now and can attest to the splendid staff and experience at this gym. Rarely even when busy do I have to wait for a machine or bench to use for my workout. Their pool and sauna is also top notch.
