First Ascent Block 37

Rock climbing gym

👍👍 We had a great experience in the first ascent bouldering gym. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The boulder problems are diverse and challenging. The facility in general is in great shape. Overall we had a very pleasant stay with no downsides!

First Ascent Uptown

Rock climbing gym

👍👍 Had a great time here. Lively gym, extremely spacious and clean, felt just like home. On the first level as soon as you enter they have an area for weightlifting and strength training. Moving upstairs to the second level, they have a variety of walls and climbs for athletes at all levels. During the...

First Ascent Humboldt Park

Rock climbing gym

👍 We came here as a group with some who already climb as a hobby and it was my first time. Kate at the front desk was friendly and professional and completed my forms and completed the intro with a video with information about climbing. After signing a waiver and getting Climbing shoes it was time to...

First Ascent Avondale

Rock climbing gym

😐 Editing down to 3 stars, I love climbing, with l my heart. And Avondale is a great location to do it. FA itself though, has a reputation for not having a healthy work enviorment, and not working on employee retention. Because of this, many of the fantastic employees I've grown to love have been forc...

First Ascent Arlington Heights

Rock climbing

👍👍 Updated: to add that I appreciate they communicate well with the membership as to events happening in the gym! We get emails when large secions are being closed for comps or clinics. This is an amazing venue to host competitions and I hope they continue to host them for the community and the youth c...

Adrenaline Monkey West Dundee

Adventure sports center

👍👍 Wonderful place to bring anyone with tons of energy! Facility was extremely clean, plenty of hand sanitizer stations available. Tristan and Cam were extremely helpful keeping my 8 year old safe while also letting him learn how to use the course. Will definitely return.

Vertical Endeavors–Glendale Heights

Rock climbing gym

👍👍 If you like a challenge and want your heart to race, this is the place. As a beginner, the people around me didn’t hesitate to help, including staff. Especially Hannah. She was thoughtful and energetic.

Brooklyn Boulders Chicago: West Loop

Rock climbing gym

Spacious, modern indoor fitness facility with rock-climbing classes, plus yoga & acrobatic yoga.

4.30 (243 reviews) (~40.61 km from centre)

Movement Lincoln Park

Rock climbing gym

😠 They’ve raised prices all while cancelling the fitness & yoga classes that made the price point worthwhile. In addition to this, the cleanliness of the gym has dwindled significantly in the past year. From fruit flies in the showers, showers only having 1/3 products (body wash, conditioner, shampoo)...

Life Time

Gym

🫤 As far a fitness experience goes it is a good place to workout and relax. But the team members really need to keep a better eye on the younger members causing scenes fairly regularly. But really the worst part is the constant price hikes for no apparent reason or upgrades in the gym that I ever see....

4.00 (445 reviews) (~5.37 km from centre)

Life Time

Gym

🫤 Having Diamond Club access, I’m able to check all the Life Times in the Chicagoland area. Out of the 5 I’ve visited so far, this is the lowest ranking one. It’s definitely a dated club. From the mens locker room (dated shower heads, mirrors right next to the lockers) to some of the older cardio mac...

3.90 (518 reviews) (~46.13 km from centre)

Life Time

Gym

😠 Long time member and very disappointed. As a business owner , can say very poor management skills. Very filthy environment, dangerous and not clean and its not improving after multiple complaints. Water filters were wiped off dust not replaced since 2016? Pool area broken pieces to the entrance, c...

Life Time

Gym

😠 I wish I had an option for a 0 star because this gym deserves it. Staff is so rude. They make it obvious they don't care about you or the money you're paying. This location comes up with their own policies on the spot, that no other lifetime has in place, and they're very good at being creative wit...

3.80 (424 reviews) (~19.77 km from centre)

Movement Wrigleyville

Rock climbing gym

😠 I used to consider movement a second home, thanks to its wonderful community, dedicated instructors, and welcoming front desk staff. It has been a core part of my time in Chicago, offering a perfect blend of fitness classes, climbing, and a supportive atmosphere. However, since the yoga and fitness...

Life Time

Gym

😠 I have been to many lifetimes, and this one has one of the most unwelcoming front desk people. They didn't say Hi, not even a smile, you are representing one of the TOP gyms out there in my opinion, make people feel welcome. Just observation from being on the bike for 30 min and not one HELLO I saw.
