Is Club Fitness a good gym?

Club Fitness runs clubs in Illinois and Missouri. Most clubs have a Pulse Studio for HIIT classes. I went through their clubs, amenities, and prices so you know what you're getting.

Here's what we love about Club Fitness

Club Fitness gets the basics right and adds a few extras.

  • A Pulse Studio with HIIT classes at most clubs.

  • It works for parents. More than half the clubs have childcare, so you can train while the kids are looked after.

  • It's open 24/7 at nearly every club, so your workout fits your schedule, not the gym's.

Here are the things we wish Club Fitness would improve

Club Fitness does plenty right. A few gaps are worth knowing before you sign.

  • No pools, steam rooms, or hot tubs, so swimmers should look elsewhere.

  • Amenities vary from club to club, so tour the one you'd use before you sign.

  • Pricing and fees can differ by club, so get your exact rate in writing.

How much does it cost to join Club Fitness?

Club Fitness runs two sets of plans depending on the club. In October 2026 I found:

  • Single Select Term ($7.99/month): home club, renews at $15.99/month after the term.
  • Select Term ($23.99/month) and Gold Term ($28.99/month): the upgraded plans at most clubs.
  • Essential Term ($29.99/month), Elevate Term ($65/month), and Elite Wellness Term ($85/month): offered at the other clubs.

​

Enrollment was $0, and clubs offer a free day pass and a free 7-day pass.

  • At most clubs the annual fee is $49.99. On the Essential, Elevate, and Elite Wellness plans it's $40, $20, and $0.
  • Enrollment was $0 at every club I checked in October 2026.
  • Gym prices got you stressed out? Start with a free trial instead.

Additional info about Club Fitness

Final thoughts — Is worth it?

Yes, if you want low monthly dues, 24/7 access, and a sauna. Nearly every club has 24/7 access, more than half the clubs have a sauna and childcare, and about half the clubs have a women-only area. Plans start at $7.99 a month on a term.

​

It fits you best if you want low dues and a solid gym floor, train at odd hours, and want recovery built into your routine. If you swim, Club Fitness is a weaker pick, because no club has a pool. Read your club's reviews and take a tour first.

​

My take: Club Fitness is worth a tour if you want low monthly dues.
