Here's what we love about Chicago Athletic Clubs

Chicago Athletic gets the basics right and adds a few extras.

  • Group fitness classes run at nearly every club, so you don't have to plan every workout yourself.

  • Personal training is available at nearly every club if you want a coach.

  • The basics are covered, with cardio, free weights, and machines at nearly every club.

Here are the things we wish Chicago Athletic Clubs would improve

Chicago Athletic does plenty right. A few gaps are worth knowing before you sign.

  • No childcare, so parents need a plan for the kids.

  • No club is open 24 hours, so late-night and very early lifters are out of luck on some days.

  • No saunas, so recovery is up to you.

How much does it cost to join Chicago Athletic Clubs?

I don't have current Chicago Athletic pricing yet. Check your club's join page for plans and fees before you sign.

  • I don't have Chicago Athletic's annual fee yet. Ask your club before you sign.
  • I don't have Chicago Athletic's enrollment fee yet. Ask your club before you sign.
  • Gym prices got you stressed out? Start with a free trial instead.

Final thoughts — Is worth it?

Yes, if you want a pool. Most clubs have a pool.

​

It fits you best if you swim and like group classes. If you count on childcare, want a sauna, or train late at night, Chicago Athletic is a weaker pick, because no club offers childcare, no club has a sauna, and no club is open 24 hours. Read your club's reviews and take a tour first.

​

My take: Chicago Athletic is worth a tour if you want a pool. Ask about pricing at your club before you sign.
