“Best prices! Day pass $15, week pass $30. One year $450?!? Thatu2019s really good and the energy is awesome. Neat place and absolutely ideal location, at the intersection of Bucktown and Wicker Park easy block to blue line etc. I would say itu2019s for those of us who like to move weights.

“Old school gym with relaxed, ex-bodybuilder owners. Client base skews young and male, but itu2019s a respectful environment for all types of people and all fitness levels. The equipment is older but well-maintained and carefully curated. The gym is also very clean; Iu2019ve never experienced a hygiene issue. Iu2019d say that if you know what youu2019re doing, are self-motivated, and live nearby, itu2019d be hard to do better than this g”

“The gym has an old-school vibe with plenty of equipment, but the place felt cramped, and I had to wait around 20 minutes just to get on a squat rack. Some of the machines seemed outdated, and a few were out of order, which was frustrating. The staff was friendly enough, but not particularly attentive or helpful.

“This was a good place to work out. If you're staying at The Robey, it's one the best hotel gyms I've ever worked out at, no question. Powerlifters might find the gym busy and limiting. The three oly deadlift pads they have are great, but they don't have very many rubber plates, and there's a big sign telling you not to drop your bars anyway. Like most gyms, they also don't have plates under 2.5 lbs (which I found har”

“Good clean gym, great staff. Just wish they had more squat racks, a ton of floor space for machines that I don't think I ever see used and 3 squat racks that are always used up, in a space that could easily accommodate 6 power cages if they went for a more simple type of power cage. Would easily be 5 stars if I didn't always have to wait for you to 20-30 minutes for a squat rack”
