Lakeshore Sport & Fitness in Chicago, Illinois

“I didn't want to leave. The gym has everything I need for lifting and general cardio. It is clean and the staff has always been nice to me.

“I love this gym so much. Itu2019s MASSIVE and never super crowded so there are always available machines. The locker rooms are nice and huge and I love taking advantage of the lap pool. They really care for their members and have a full calendar of athletic and social events for members to get to know one another.

Mind you itu2019s not a daycare by any means - hospitality staff get called down to watch kids when needed. They probably get 1-2 requests”

“Joined last month and couldn't be happier. LSF is clean, not too crowded, and very reasonably priced for what you get: a true old-school health club atmosphere. The gym is well-equipped and the amenities are incredibleu2014sauna, steam, room, and hot tub in each (massive) locker room; grooming products; towel service. Big, comfortable lounge. Friendly, personal, competent staff. Overall an awesome place to work out and h”
