Edgewater Fitness Center - Chicago (IL)

4 /5 P. L.: I love this gym. Everyone is so friendly but, at the risk of being rude, the small blue towels smell like damp moldy cloth. So when you clean the machines, all of the machines get that same smell. I might just be abnormally sensitive to the smell cause no one ever complains about this. I wish they would try paper towels to clean off machines. Or maybe try towels that can be bleached. Other wise, I love this gym and am an active member, just bring your own towel to wipe your face. That mold smell is communicable on contact.

5 /5 Chris Baer: I’ve been going to this place ever since they opened in the neighborhood. It’s clean, has a wide variety of machines and well-maintained equipment. If you have never considered working out with a personal trainer, I highly recommend it. I was skeptical at first but quickly found what a great motivator it is to have someone expecting you at the gym and there to lend their expertise and undivided attention. Once they get to know your limits you will have the best workouts of your life. We never challenge ourselves as much as a professional who knows what we can do and can’t do. There are many group classes however, I’ve only taken advantage of the candle-light yoga, which is something else that previously was not in my comfort zone but have really enjoyed.

5 /5 Olivia Quinn: I’ve been a member at Edgewater Fitness Center for several months now and couldn’t be more impressed. The facility is spotless and well-maintained, the equipment is abundant and up to date, and the staff is friendly and always ready to help. I especially appreciate the early morning hours which make it convenient to fit in a workout before my day starts. The neighborhood vibe is welcoming, the membership is affordable, and it feels like a true community gym rather than a huge impersonal chain. If you’re looking for a dependable, clean and friendly gym in the Edgewater area, I highly recommend Edgewater Fitness Center.

1 /5 Nithya K: Edit: I was charged for three auto-renew cycles before I caught it and despite my account on their system literally denotes no for auto-renew and yet, there is no opportunity for a refund. I wish Id listened to the reviews that stated they has issues with cancelling with them because this is NOT worth it. Pity, cos I really liked their locations.

5 /5 Bruce Bankes: I am so happy I join this gym. It’s clean, not crowded and close to home, so I can walk there. When I signed up, the manager, Chris, was very empathetic towards my needs and kind about my concerns of starting a monthly membership. I am 60 years old and a cancer survivor along many years of hospital visits with sepsis. Now that I’m getting healthier after 13 years, this was the first gym I joined. I’m feeling really good about my consistency of working out and I’m seeing a huge difference in my body and health. Thank you.
