    10/10 would recommend. Easy access next to the brown line, extremely spacious floor which makes it easier to move around without bumping into others. Pricing is fair and upfront. All charges are fully disclosed on their website and at the time you sign up, no hidden fees. Very well kept as well.

    I’m giving 3 stars as a member primarily because the gym is not very clean relative to other gyms I’ve been a member of. The equipment is fine but it’s a very small space for the membership levels. Amenities are basically zero but the benefits of the gym is that it’s very neighborhood centric and is only $60/month. You get what you pay for here.

    Easily a 5-star gym! Incredibly well maintained and the staff are very helpful in answering any questions. I love that it is open 24/7. It gives me a lot of flexibility regarding my workout times! I would highly recommend it!

    Holy crisps - why isn’t every gym run like this. So easy to use and cancel. Pennies per Month in terms of cost. Full offering and never closes. Love this chain, can’t believe more gyms don’t operate like this.. 3 hours of Personal Training for $150, too boot.

    Great gym right off the brown line. Inside is clean. Members are following the mask mandate which is much different than when i was at xsport fitness. Staff is super helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking.

    This gym is so convenient! It is located right off the brown line. A lot of great restaurants nearby too! I love that the gym is 24/7. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Great prices for memberships as well. I recommend going here if you're looking for a gym. I also hear they have a personal training deal going on too!

    I went to Southport Fitness for about 2 years. Clean and laid out well. The after work crowds were about what one would expect, but never to the point of waiting in line for a machine. Most people were there to workout and leave and everyone seemed considerate of other gym goers. When COVID hit, they made freezing my membership painless. I ended up needing to cancel, and the staff was very accommodating—I’ve belonged to lots of gyms over the years and they were far and away the most upfront and pleasant to deal with.

    5 stars for my trainer at Southport Fitness, Weston! I got matched with him about 4 - 5 months back and he helped me drop 18 pounds ahead of my wedding, all while accounting for my bad shoulder and knee. He's a great guy and spends the time to prepare really effective workouts. Would highly recommend him to anyone!

    For some reason this gym's policy is that if you cancel your membership, they will wait 31 days, charge you again for a month of membership you don't want and THEN they cancel your membership. Do yourself a favor and don't even sign up for a membership in the first place.

    Southport fitness is the most toxic place to work for with the boss harassing you with all kinds of emails and messages in all the days hours of times!! Big red flag for working here, !!!!

  • 5/5 Theresa B. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the balance of tread rower and floor exercises plus each class is different so I feel all areas of my body get a balanced workout. The coaches are awesome, it’s almost like having a personal trainer in each class.

    A great neighborhood gym with clean equipment and respectful members. They have pretty much everything you need. The staff is nice, helpful and fun! Members and staff do a good job of disinfecting equipment

    Now more than ever it is tremendously important to support all local business in an effort to keep us strong here in Chicago, with that said Southport fitness has been great to me. Friendly staff, affordable rates, great personal trainers, awesome hours of operation and most importantly a very convenient location right next to the Southport brown line. Being able to hop off the L after work and catch a quick workout before heading home to my family is very important to me. My family and I love this gym and recommend to it everyone

    This gym is perfect for my needs. I’m beginning a weight training journey and it has all the tools I need to get in my workout so I can meet my goals. I like that it is a gym that is focused on enabling individual workouts geared toward gym users vs offering classes. Patrons are friendly and I don’t feel intimidated as I explore weight training. Overall clean and modern equipment.

    After researching many gyms in the area, Southport and Wicker Park Fitness are easily the best gyms in Chicago for the price. Always clean with well-maintained equipment, and have everything you could every need at a gym with a great variety of cardio and resistance training equipment. The gym is also 24/7 access for members, which has been greatly beneficial for me. You simply will find no better place to train for your money than at these 2 locations. In addition, the personal training deals are also unbeatable compared to any gym in or out of the city. They offer 3 sessions of personal training for $99 which is a price that no other gyms in the city will even come close to. Would recommend this personal training service and the gyms in general to anyone!

  • 5/5 Shane C. 2 years ago on Google
    A super-conveniently located neighborhood gym with great equipment and room to move. All my equipment needs are met here.

  • 5/5 Schindler C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great gym, cozy feel, lot of sun and looking over the Southport Corridor. Has everything you need weight (dumbbells up to 100lbs) and machine wise except a decline bench press for some reason. $50 a month, so a bit more expensive than LA/XSport but worth it if you live in the area and can walk over, esp since you don’t have to deal with the high traffic of the big gyms

  • 5/5 Alexander B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing neighborhood gym! Southport Fitness has all the equipment you need in a clean environment with friendly staff. No hidden fees, great membership options. Highly recommend checking this place out!

  • 5/5 Noah F. 1 year ago on Google
    This was awesome for allowing me to workout here. Incredible gym, super clean, great culture and uplifting environment. Recommend coming here if In the area.

  • 5/5 erie g. 1 year ago on Google
    Great facility at a great location. I can be coming in from Lincoln Square and detrain from the brown line Southport platform and be at my locker in under two minutes and back on another train equally rapidly- meaning a workout at this gym adds less than 10 minutes to my commute! Treadmills face a great window wall onto Southport on the second level so observation is not reciprocal. Gym culture is respectful, I was completely new to the fitness world a year ago, and this place helped me learn so much, and they have specialized gear like the MAG handles for pulldowns and rows. Personal Training with Ken has been exceptional - well worth his price!

  • 1/5 Alan G. 10 months ago on Google
    Do not believe their lies about “easy cancellation process”. They will continually respond to your request to cancel with more and more things you have to do for them to cancel. You will have to go through your bank and have them refuse any charges from this gym. The gym will then try to bully you out of more money by threatening to send a collections agency after you. Don’t believe them. This gym conducts scummy membership policies despite the lies at sign up.

  • 5/5 Albert S. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been a member here for years and have been very pleased. It's a no frills gym but they provide everything you need for a good workout. They have good service also: I got locked out one night after staffed hours and they responded to my e-mail and quickly fixed the issue that evening.

  • 5/5 Colin O. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great locals-Only gym. Open every day of the year, 24/7. Got tired of my tumble weeds of dust and hair and skin at xsport so I came here, havent it left. Place's cleaned twice a day too, which is unheard of in the gym world. Great training, great staff, everything you need and nothing you don't. Can't recommend this enough

  • 5/5 Colin O. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gym at a great rate. 24/7, no nonsense, easy to cancel. Cleaner than Mr. Clean's shiny dome-piece, always open, never closes on a holiday. Love this spot!

  • 5/5 Colin O. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this spot! Great gym, great amenities, cleaned 2x/day. Spacious, never busy, never dirty. Open 24/7, doesn't even close on holidays. 3 1-hr sessions w/ personal trainer got me coming in and I haven't stopped!

  • 5/5 Harrison J. 1 year ago on Google
    Very well kept facility, friendly staff, accessible location and 24 hour access. Not much more you can ask for in a facility. Would recommend to anyone!

  • 5/5 Sophia J. 1 year ago on Google
    Very clean and easily accessible gym! Love that its open 24/7. Has great lifting equipment and a wide variety of cardio machines.

  • 5/5 Julian P. 3 years ago on Google
    Just moved to the location and found my everyday gym after testing out a couple other gyms in the area. Southport Fitness stays on top of keeping the facility clean and the front desk is very informative. Also they have a great deal on personal training sessions. 3 one-hour sessions for only $99 and a handful of the best certified trainers in the city of Chicago!

  • 5/5 Frankie P. 3 years ago on Google
    Staff is very friendly and communicates well. Great customer service. They are up front about their pricing and fees. One of the cleanest gyms I have been a member of. It is comforting, in the middle of a pandemic, to see the staff constantly cleaning during a workout. Great location as well, right off the Southport brown line. Would recommend!

    Southport Fitness is a very convenient, clean and well maintained gym! It's right next to the Brown Line station so it's really convenient to get in and out. The staff are also friendly and helpful!

🫤 You get what you pay for. There’s no AC, pretty dirty everywhere, machines are constantly broken, treadmills are from 1992. They took away all dumbbells. It’s bizarre that a gym doesn’t have dumbbells available. No hair dryer in the locker room. Most of the members are ignorant, they don’t wipe mach...
