Loyola Center for Fitness

Fantastic experience: Best fitness club in the greater Chicago area. Newly renovated locker rooms.

Fantastic experience: What a pleasure to train at a place where people are focused on quantifiable results and health, whether they are med or nursing students, hospital staff or patients pre or post op. Everyone minds their own business- yet they are friendly and offer encouragement. The staff trainers are approachable and knowledgable and very precise in their coaching since there is a full range of circuit equipment to leverage, and a plates room, cycling and a fabulous lap pool. Perhaps most important in this age of COVID-19- the facility is not overpopulated, people are respectful re: wearing masks and the protocol re: wiping down equipment before and after use (although I noted an increasing # of men probably 30-45 years old must view themselves as "invincible" as they don't clean the equipment before or after use. The women are much more attentive/ conscientious about the hygienic requirements.) The women's locker room is clean and comfortable, and again not over crowded. I haven't taken any of the classes yet but I will, and once I complete the two month pre-surgical program, and do a second 8 weeks I will sign up for membership. I allocate several hours to warm up, circuit training and cool down- mind-boggling I can spend close to three hours exercising and not get bored! I live within a quarter mile of a private tennis/ fitness center, and 1.25 miles from Lifetime fitness, but willingly drive out to Maywood for this facility. I only wish the facility was closer, but it becomes like a quest or pilgrimage traveling 12 miles or so to get there, and another 12 to return home. The membership rate is a bargain at about half the cost of a ritzy club AND this facility doesn't have children running around, doing cannonballs into the pool etc. Thank you Loyola for having a medically relevant, well managed facility where we can improve our Selves.

Fantastic experience: Marissa Rodriguez provided incredible guest services to me. I was about to get in the lap pool and noticed that I had lost my googles. Marissa was walking by the pool and offered to go to their fitness store and get some goggles I could pay for on the way out. She brought two pairs for me to choose from. I was blown away by her incredible hospitality and kindness! By bringing the googles to the pool, she helped me from having to leave the pool, get dressed again, and go out to the fitness store. Incredible service!!!

Fantastic experience: Love the facility. Great amenities and rooms. The shampoo and conditioner could be better. The cafe has delicious food and every Monday this yummy sugar cookies come in that i buy for my kids.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this fitness center! It is clean and spaced out so everyone has their own safe space for a workout. I am a huge fan of the hot tubs that they provide, especially the one that is in the women's locker room. The jets are just what I need after working out. My best friend is in Roller Derby and i am aerialist so this place is just what we need after we are sore from training! I was looking for a place like this for a very long time. Thank you to the warm and friendly staff who make this such a nice experience for us every time.

Fantastic experience: Just joined a couple weeks ago and love it so far. All new equipment and always clean. Not too expensive either. Just what I was looking for. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic experience: I enjoy coming here. They need more BEGINNER YOGA classes with Micki and more MEDITATION classes! Most of the classes are included with membership. The center is big so even when it is busy it is not crowded. The facility is beautiful and clean. The locker rooms are big, provide: hair products, dryers, styling tools, towels, toiletries, whirlpool, steam room, sauna, shower, vanities, swimsuits dryer. This makes it easy to go to the gym before work or an event. The lap pool and warm pool are clean. Everyone ,staff and customers, I have encountered have been helpful and kind. It is more on the expensive side but is 100% worth it for everything you get. If you are in a high stress career I highly recommend coming here multiple times a week for good self care and to relieve stress. The only complaint I would have is there seem to be a lot of things that go out of order like the steam room, coed whirlpool, locker room whirl pool and swim suit dryer are the things that have been out of order in the month I have joined, maybe this is a normal situation of a large fitness center that gets used frequently? They seem to be pretty on top of it though.

Fantastic experience: LCF has a great variety of equipment and amenities. The staff are all incredibly polite and helpful. The weight machines are kept clean and there are no long waits. As far as cardio goes you can swim, run on the indoor track, treadmill or hop on a spin bike, elliptical or row machine. There is also a basketball and a racquetball court as well. Afterwards you can reward yourself with the steam room, sauna and whirlpool.

Fantastic experience: Joined a year ago and we love it. We came for the pool but the entire facility has so much to offer. Lots of machines, jogging track, racket sports, basketball and plenty of classes to choose from. Staff is always available for help with training or health evaluation. Therapeutic massage available. Attached to Loyola University Hospital. Great for physical therapy and handicap accessibility.

Fantastic experience: like all fitness centers/gyms, you get out what you put in. unlike all others, this place has a great staff that will help you get more out of what you put in. this place has everything you need which makes it worth the higher price. but the real quality here is the people. great trainers, classes, massage, etc. it's really the knowledgeable, caring staff that sets this place apart and above all other places i've tried. you will never regret joining.
