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 gave me incredible customer service. I was about to jump in the lap pool and realized I had forgotten my goggles. Marissa was passing by the pool and offered to go to the fitness store and get me a pair that I could pay for when I left. She brought two different sets for me to choose from, and I was amazed at her hospitality and kindness. She saved me the trouble of having to leave the pool, get dressed, and go to the fitness store myself. Her service was remarkable!

Fantastic experience: I really appreciate the facility; the amenities and rooms are amazing. Although the shampoo and conditioner could be better, the cafe has amazing food and I always get my kids the delicious sugar cookies that come in every Monday.

Fantastic experience: I am totally enamored with this fitness center! It is spotless and well-organized, so everyone has their own personal area to exercise. I'm a big admirer of the hot tubs they have, particularly the one in the ladies' locker room. The jets are the ideal thing to have after a workout. My best friend does Roller Derby and I'm an aerialist, so this place is exactly what we need after strenuous training! I have been searching for a place like this for a long time. A huge thank you to the friendly staff who make this such a pleasant experience for us each time.

Fantastic experience: The most outstanding fitness center in the Chicagoland region is without a doubt. It is easy to get to, tidy, and has all the necessary equipment. It never feels overcrowded. The trainers are informed and the massage therapists are miracle workers. It is reasonably priced, has a tasty cafe, and the personnel are friendly and accommodating.

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.
