About LA Fitness
XSport Fitness offers a state-of-the-art facility with impressive amenities, including group fitness classes, personal training, and recovery services. The gym features a large weights section with three areas, including two on the main floor and one upstairs, making it a major highlight. The studio is well-maintained and spacious, providing a good workout experience. However, some equipment is regularly broken or does not function properly, and it takes a long time to fix these issues. Additionally, there are concerns about the availability of cleaning supplies like paper towels and disinfectant spray bottles, as cleanliness can be a problem. While the Lakeview location is one of the nicer and cleaner XSport facilities in the Chicagoland area, members have noticed that the DirecTV service no longer carries ESPN or ABC, leaving limited channels available. Members can enjoy convenient free garage parking and a standard locker room. Recently, the base membership price increased from $9.99 to $19.99, which has raised questions about revenue allocation. Despite these drawbacks, many find the gym to be a solid option for those looking for a no-frills gym with standard amenities. The front desk staff is friendly, with Vanessa receiving praise for her helpfulness and welcoming attitude.
My fav LA Fitness in Chicago. Front desk staff are the most friendly ones I’ve encountered. They say hi & bye with a smile & they don’t make you feel uncomfortable. The facilities are the cleanest out of the locations I’ve been to and the sauna is the best one. The bar is pretty low for LA Fitness in Chicago though. But this is by far the best one. The crowd is pretty pleasant and a good mix of people. Not too meat-headed and not too casual. Highly recommend this location. Maybe I’ll change my mind and give it a 5 eventually but for now a 4/5 seems fair.
I’ve been going here for about a year now after switching from Planet Fitness and it was well worth the extra money. I also took advantage of their personal trainers who took me from 190 lbs, 19% body fat down to 165 lbs, 11% body fat. Tim was an amazing trainer.
Hands down the best Local gym in Chicago! From the equipment to the staff all top tier for advanced lifters all the way down to beginners. If you need a new change of scenery, this is the place to be!
