Great stop. I am just visiting from Houston to see a friend up here in Wicker Park. I just needed a gym for a drop in. This spot was PERFECT. Super affordable compared to other gyms in the area. Plenty of good equipment. No frills option. Staff was super friendly. Definitely recommend to anyone trying to find a spot for a good, traditional workout!

Best gym in the world. So close to home. The owners of the gym are so awesome and friendly... professional body builders. It's never too empty or full. Everything you need in a gym is at bucktown fitness club. Come check it out and I'm sure you'll fall in love with it.

Bucktown Fitness Club offers a no-nonsense gym experience, providing a comprehensive array of equipment essential for a satisfying workout. While the equipment may show its age, it remains impeccably functional. With a reasonable $10 day pass fee, the club spans two floors, with the second floor housing a majority of the cardio machines. The staff's exceptional kindness and assistance make this establishment my preferred choice whenever I return to town.

Great oldschool bodybuilding type gym, could use some updates for some of the equipment but it has everything you need and nothing you don't. A huge plus is they do month to month or multi month packages with no contracts or initiation fee B.S. Great value and great atmosphere.

Had/have a membership but have received no updates since the start of COVID. If the gym is going to re-open, if it isn’t, if my membership will still be valid, etc. literally any information. I have left multiple voicemails with no response from the owners. I loved this gym prior to this but the lack of information and communication is unacceptable.

Love this place. Been a member since Jan 2020. No nonsense, no frills.. Absolutely perfect, if you want to get a great workout.

This place has all the equipment you need to strength train. Pros: flexible membership without initiation fees, right next to the damen blue line stop, and all the weights you need. Cons: front desk staff are often unengaged and on their phones or listening to music or on a phone call, some of the equipment is broken (like the calf machine adjustment mechanism is worn down so that it slips, and neither of the stair machines are fully functional) Overall, great place to be if you're a strength athlete and looking for reasonable gym prices and flexible membership lengths!

What an amazing fitness centre; every possible piece of equipment you could imagine and plenty of them. Great locker rooms showers hairdryer and clean. Coming back.

Hands down the best no-BS gym I’ve ever been able to go to. Everything you’ve needed, nothing you don’t, nice owners and family-run business.

The best gym I've ever been . it! I will never go to another gym

Solid gym. Perfect for Powerlifters, Body Builders and all ranges of fitness. No bull attitude unlike all the bougie gyms in the area.

Good clean gym, great staff. Just wish they had more squat racks, a ton of floor space for machines that I don't think I ever see used and 3 squat racks that are always used up, in a space that could easily accommodate 6 power cages if they went for a more simple type of power cage. Would easily be 5 stars if I didn't always have to wait for you to 20-30 minutes for a squat rack

Love this gym. I’m glad it’s in the neighborhood. Prices are very fair and affordable. It’s not showy and has everything u need to get a great workout in. Love that there’s no sales pitch or agenda. No initiation fees or impossible cancellations. Owner is great too. Better than BAC imo

I have been coming here for a year or so now. Great basic gym with everything you need and helpful staff. Best part is the no-nonsense up front membership payment! No monthly subscriptions needed and no difficult cancellations.

Has everything you need in order to get a good workout in. Payment is quick. clear, and easy. Also, they have enough equipment and its never really that busy so you can get done whatever you want to get done at anytime of day.

No BS contracts - simple inexpensive and laid back no frills gym with everything you need. I’m a huge fan.

Love it! I will never go to another gym.

Old school no nonsense gym. Less crowded than others in the neighborhood. Easy payments.

Chill staff. Got everything you need for a workout. Reasonably priced. What more do you need?

No frills, very private feel, best value in the city.

No nonsense, great club

It's cheap and effective. No signing up or cancelling fees. Just pay to work out, no hassles.

(Translated by Google) The place is good because I can do cardio and the machines are in good condition I recommend it. (Original) El lugar es bueno xq puedo hacer cardio y las maquinas estan en buenas condiciones lo recomiendo.

This gym is AWESOME!!! And it still is!!! I love coming here. Small and local, just how I like it.

Great no-frills gym. Well priced, simple, and has pretty much anything you could need without the contracts and fluff of other nearby gyms. Only gripes are that the hours can be limiting, and they could use a few more squat racks.

Love this place. Lots of equipment, friendly staff, reasonable prices.

One of the best gyms Ive been a member at, very no-frills, but it has exactly what I want. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, good rates, and a nice atmosphere.

Everything you need and nothing more. The staff is awesome, helpful and actually want to see you improve. Machine don't have long lines and other members are cool. The price is unbelievable and location is great.

I've been a member of this gym for 2 years. If you are interested in strength training with weights, it has everything you need. For cardio workouts, there is never a problem getting a treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike or stair machine. It is owned by a really nice family, has friendly members and is a comfortable place to exercise. There are no classes. No juice bar. No complimentary towel service. But, there is everything you need to get in better shape and lose weight, all at a reasonable price.

The best gym I've ever been to, I am serious about my work out and it seem that everyone in this gum is as serious as me. Love it! I will never go to another gym. Andy GENES Computers

Pumped me up

The staff are friendly and helpful. The location has a variety of machines and cardio equipment.

Great gym love going there everyday

No nonsense

Great place to workout. Cozy environment and sociable staff/owners.

Great place to workout, knowledgeable staff, clean, family owned!

Best gym in the area, no nonsense, great equipment, and incredibly fair prices.

Pump Iron here

Well priced gym that has anything I'd need for weightlifting. My biggest complaint would only be the hours it remains open... can be a little limited, especially on the weekends.

Awesome family-owned lifting gym! Lots of free weights, plus a bunch of cardio upstairs.

Cheap monthly fee, no nonsense gym with all anybody needs to get in shape. Not usually crowded during the week (I go in the mornings), friendly staff and fellow gym goers.

If you want a great gym this is it people here are nice and real about getting in shape and they come in all sizes not a meat heads gym

If you're looking for a flashy gym with a yoga studio, spin classes, swimming pool, etc - sorry but you aren't going to find that here. You know what else you're NOT going to find? Pushy sales people trying to exploit your friends, random "maintenance fees" and other unexpected fees, "bros" and other obnoxious people, and overcrowding and inability to use the equipment you need during the hours you ACTUALLY want to work out (like most other gyms in the area). This gym has everything I was looking for - owners who take pride in their facility, every piece of equipment you'll ever need, EXTREMELY friendly and supportive clientele, and an overall welcoming vibe. I can walk in here anytime, any day, and feel at home while having access to every piece of equipment needed for my routine. Can't say enough good things about this place - it's helped me immensely during a stressful time in my life and I'll be sure to recommend to others.

What’s not to love? Cool owner that’s frequently there for convo and advice if you want it, awesome no frills environment, all the equipment you could ever need whether you’re casual or more serious. Old school vibe with iron plates. Been going here coming up on a year and wouldn’t change a thing. Incredibly reasonable rates. Never too packed but never too empty. Best gym ever. Get a membership.
