I’ll start with the cons since that’s the whole point of 1 stars, right? About 75% of the equipment in this gym is either broken or very close to being broken. The main leg press machine is honestly dangerous to use and I’ve avoided it for months. Everything is clunky. Extreme disorganization and lack of plates. You have to search the entire gym for the 5-25 pound weights because they are everywhere and there’s simply not enough of them at peak gym times. I don’t think any employee ever goes around and reorganizes plates or does any tidying. The actual gym facility is extremely dusty and honestly, filthy. The locker rooms and bathrooms are much cleaner since they are new. This whole gym needs a deep clean. For MONTHS this place didn’t have a water fountain at all. But they sold water bottles. They do have a fountain now, but the water is tainted with a chlorine taste. It does not seem safe to consume at all. I personally refused to drink it. The staff is not very friendly. Really could use a lesson on customer service. When you call, all they say is “Hello” as if it’s their personal line. Guest passes are also very expensive at $15. Pros: The amount and variety of equipment is pretty impressive compared to other gyms nearby. I appreciate the deadlift stations as well. But still - a lot of machines are clunky and half broken. Music selection is also pretty good, you can afford to forget your headphones. I recently canceled this membership. I hope I don’t have a similar issue others have had with it not actually being canceled. Overall, this gym lacks professionalism and good customer service, you cannot trust that the equipment is safe, and the you have to bring your own water to workout.

This place is phenomenal, great equipment, well organized, staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Has a nice selection of fitness clothing and supplements available. One of the best gyms I've visited. Highly recommended if your looking for a high quality gym.

I hate leaving bad reviews, but I’m out of options at this point. I was a member for nearly a year, but ended up having to cancel my membership because of a job move. Everyone I worked with to cancel my membership was nice and helpful, so it really sucked when I found out they retained my credit card info and continued to charge me for months. I’ve done everything I can to fix the situation, but they still haven’t given all of my money back. They refunded me two months worth of fees, but I’m still out nearly $300.

Awesome gym, clean and excellent equipment, this gym need to be back 24-7 so we don't have to see high-school kids, weight 110 lbs with broccoli haircuts, walking without shirts, thinking they are Mr.Olympia.

This a great gym if you love cleaning up after other people. It’s infuriating how careless members are with regards to putting weights away. The pictures were taken in the same week and reflect what happens on a regular basis. Don’t get me wrong, Brickhaus has a really solid selection of equipment. The issue is that management turns a blind eye to members who trash the place. As a result, the gym is consistently a mess and members are left unaccountable. It really is disappointing because Brickhaus could be an awesome gym.

Needed a gym to train while road tripping. The staff was amazing! Not shy to strike up a conversation as if you've always been around. Lots of good ol' bodybuilding style equipment. Change room and showers are extremely clean and nice. Drop in price is reasonable. I would highly recommend!

This is the meca of bodybuilding. They have all the stuff you will ever need

The gym is very clean and I felt comfortable working out there through the pandemic. The staff are genuine, friendly, and approachable for any questions or concerns. 10/10 recommend this gym!

I was traveling through the Chicago area and stopped by Brickhaus Fitness for a workout. The staff was very friendly and the gym had good equipment for serious lifters. This is a bodybuilders ideal gym. I had a great workout and highly recommend this facility!

Old-school Iron pump house. Im Active Duty and Was in town for the holidays, and they took care of me. I intentionally drove 35 minutes for this kind of atmosphere and was not disappointed. Definitely my daily goto gym when I'm visiting my hometown.

I love this gym, the people here and the equipment. I forgot my headphones though today and the music is killing my workout. 80s hair band ballads non-stop. Jesus man. Still 5 stars though.

Dropped in at Brick Haus with the free trial, and SO glad I did! The equipment is very clean and well laid out, with quality mirrors all around. I was very happy to see a few cages and deadlift platforms in addition to machines and dumbbell weights. This is also the only gym I've seen that caters to heavy lifting, and has a studio...I powerlift and dabble in yoga, so for me personally I'm excited to be able to do both in the same gym! Also can't wait to try out the turf area with sleds/tires. Hopefully the gym will grow enough soon to add bumper plates for olympic weightlifts (and regular 2.5lb plates would be good to add to the racks). Overall, beautiful gym (well supplied and laid out, so early on as a business) and the owner is very nice. The place has a lot of potential as a great "middle ground" between powerlifting/strength training gyms, and commercial "bodybuilding" gyms. Very glad this place opened up close to me. Can't wait to go back!

There's only one part I've been here but it's good it's a nice place to host birthday parties like there's like this little jungle / I don't know whatever it's called I don't know but you know it's a good place for children to holster birthday parties cuz I've been there last time is good for children eight and below

Shout out to the owner I met last year. Haven’t been in the gym in a few months, came in to get a lift and was blown away by the amount of work that has been done to the gym. Place is one of the best places in the west suburbs.

I started going to the haus a couple months ago and my experience has been great so far. They have everything you could need at any experience level, from newbie to elite level athlete. Very motivating environment and it's pretty much never packed, even at peak hours. Best gym in the area.

The workouts are fantastic and all the trainers are amazing to work with. I have been training consistently since they opened and definitely feel stronger and have more definition!

This gym is a dream come true. First of all, it encompasses equipment needed for all fitness levels, so anyone should be able to achieve their goals here (given attendance is regular). But the most impressive part for me, is that their equipment range is so large, that it surpasses the limited selections of almost all gyms I have encountered aside from professional sports facilities and division 1 NCAA weight rooms, which I have had much experience in. If you are a professional athlete, competitive fitness athlete, bodybuilder, weekend warrior, or stay at home dad or mom... this place has everything you could need from now till the last day you ever walk in a gym. For those strong enough to need 200 lb dumbells... they have them! Single leg Hammer Strength leg press?... Yup. All the variety you could ever want for any goal. Just a heaven of a gym. Couldn't be happier with my visit today!

Great gym and great equipment with everything you need to train. The staff and people who workout here are very knowledgeable and helpful.

Amazing gym - stopped in for a couple lifts while travelling and couldn't have had a better experience. The staff were so welcoming, the gym is the perfect environment to get a good lift in and very veryclean. If I lived in Chicago, this would be my daily gym.

Great gym for lifting. Tons of equipment for powerlifting and bodybuilding. Clean and Very friendly helpful staff!!

They have a ton of quality equipment and many uncommon implements to vary your workouts. The space is not huge but there are rarely instances where you cannot find a spot to complete your exercises.

The best hardcore gym in the area. From power lifting to hardcore bodybuilding Brickhaus has it all!!!

Helped me narrow down which membership is best for me without being pushy. It’s a very clean facility which is a huge plus! Definitely ask for her for your membership!

Awesome gym with friendly staff! Great vibe for serious lifters or those looking to shed a few pounds.

Always a Great workout! Even when it's a hard one, it's early in the morning or you wake up dragging your heels. Every single coach is encouraging,motivating and/or inspirational!

One of my all time favorite gyms. This place has a friendly atmosphere that makes you want to hang around before and after your workout or activities.

This gym is a decent gym. It has its pros and cons. Pros: -- There's a lot of equipment. There are really no complaints I have about the gym lacking machinery needed to work out a certain muscle or muscle group. The gym absorbed the equipment from Retro Fitness when it closed, so it has a variety of machines. They even have an area with punching bags, which is nice, even if I don't use them personally. -- Hours. While the gym isn't open 24/7, the hours are still nice, being open until 11 pm on weekdays and 10 pm on weekends. Although I wish they'd stay open till 11pm on weekends. -- The gym is big. The gym has two main areas connected by a hallway; the front and back of the gym. There's also a small room with some exercise equipment in it. -- Locker rooms. The gym has decent locker rooms with locker storage, showers, and toilets. These are a newer addition to the gym, and not having them before wasn't the most convenient. -- Location. This really only applies to me, but the gym is a block away from where I live, so the proximity is convenient. Cons: -- Very crowded certain times of day. The high occupancy usually dies down in the evenings after 8 pm or so. Weekends are less crowded than the weekdays. -- Lack of maintenance. The machines are constantly dusty, the padded parts of machines and benches are ripped or torn frequently, and the walls of the gym below the mirrors are busted up with holes and nicks all over the place. Two machines were previously missing their pins, so to use them you had to steal a pin from another machine, causing the pinless machine to rotate throughout the day. It was that way for several months and no one that worked there ordered new pins (makes me think no one was maintaining the machines otherwise it would've been noticed) so I ordered my own and brought them in. You're welcome Brickhaus. Cable machine clips go missing a lot too. People like to remove them and throw them where ever, making it hard to find them when I need them. I would appreciate the gym maintaining the machines by zip tying the clips to the cables so that they can't be removed. I also had to buy my own and bring them to the gym because I was tired of not being able to find clips in order to use the cable machines. Again, you're welcome Brickhaus. To be fair, though, when a cable machine breaks or a padded part of a machine completely tears, the gym is pretty quick to get it repaired, which is nice. --Lack of supervision/Culture. Male teens and twenty-somethings often take off their shirts and flex or work out shirtless in the back area of the gym. It wasn't a problem until a few months ago. People started doing it and realized there were no consequences, so the frequency of it happening increased. Went from once in a while, to once a week, to now almost once a day. A lot of people go shirtless in the locker rooms or the small side workout room, which is fine. However staff does nothing about people going shirtless in the main areas. There's only one person running the place and they sit at the front desk, out of view of the back of the gym, unaware of what's going on. People also record themselves a lot on their phone, tripod, etc. so you may end up in someone's video in the background.
