UIC Sports & Fitness Center

Positive experience: UIC Sports & Fitness Center is hands down one of the best gyms I’ve ever used. It’s got everything you could ask for: top-tier equipment, a running track, racquetball courts, and even a pool. I’ve been using it for a few months now, and it's been well worth the membership fee (around $25/month for students). The staff is super chill, and the space is always clean and not overcrowded. I can get in a solid workout without feeling like I’m fighting for machines. If you’re a UIC student or faculty member, this gym is a total win.

Negative experience: If you are looking for a local gym with pool keep looking. It was closed a significant part of last year for staffing issues. It has been closed for the last 4 weeks for maintenance of a filtration system and announced to be opened today, December 16th. I was told this morning it is still closed and scheduled to open on December 26th, a day the SFC is closed. It’s a very unreliable fitness center.

Positive experience: As a UIC student, I come to the gym six times a week, and I’ve met many people here who, like me, love going to the gym. Overall, we like this gym, especially with all the recent equipment upgrades. However, I have a few suggestions to make the gym even better: 1. Increase the number of incline benches: Right now, the gym only has one incline bench, and people often have to wait a long time to use it. 2. Add more cable machines and reduce the unnecessary cardio equipment: For some reason, a few of the cable machines are always broken, and during busy times, people usually have to wait. But there are way too many cardio machines in this gym!

Fantastic experience: Great facility. Tons of machines, swimming pool and sauna. Racket ball court, basketball court, ping Pong room and they have special 360 functional workout room. They have several workout dance yoga cycling rooms too. This blow away many of the chain gyms

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility for fitness and recreation. Staff are friendly and helpful

Fantastic experience: As it is for students, mostly it is packed during regular hours. Would suggest going there early in the morning.

Fantastic experience: Been going for over 8 years. Quality equipment good service and they provide towel service

Fantastic experience: Lots of equipment for a good workout.

Positive experience: Decent enough if you’re a UIC student on the west campus, but not without its frustrations. Sometimes the hours change suddenly and there are no signs forewarning you so you can plan ahead to build in a study break; if you’re here at the end of their shift, know that the employees will most likely turn off half the lights in the locker room five minutes before closing (as somehow this is supposed to make us get dressed more quickly;) lastly, the sheer amount of days they’ll go without refilling the soap in the mens restroom on the workout floor is astounding—it was like this before the pandemic and apparently after the pandemic, hygiene is not a priority at the SFC. Overall, this gym definitely makes you want to graduate faster.

Negative experience: Its too warm inside

Fantastic experience: Very clean and well maintained fitness center. Feels a little smaller and slightly congested center. But great staff and good equipments makes it good experience.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Wish the hours went later on Sundays though!

Positive experience: solid gym. you can get most everything done. the hours of the gym could be better especially for people that like working out late night or super early. But overall it’s a very good gym. It’s clean, most people rack their weights, not too much chit chat going on, it’s just a good place to get work done.

Fantastic experience: Twin'in! B'ball with the twins'. What a Great time! ❤

Positive experience: Smaller and quieter than SRF on east campus but that can be nice. The facilities are good as well. The only thing is sometimes the pool has been closed here, but its a good facility

Positive experience: Workout machines are in dire need for an upgrade. But it gets the job done.

Fantastic experience: It’s usually quite these days due to covid. Best time to go would be early morning. Great staff.

Negative experience: Why is it always a sauna here

Positive experience: Nice facility convenient for working out if you work or go to school at uic wish it was open 24/7

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: Was a member for a while it's a good gym equipment is pretty up to date

Fantastic experience: This gym isn't as infested with UGs as the gym on the east campus

Fantastic experience: Overall a solid gym. It has a couple basketball courts, a pool, and 2 or 3 racquetball/squash courts (sorry, I don't know the difference). It also has a walking track and a separate running track. This gym is meant for people who want to get in and work out, and it isn't really the same big gym that you find on east campus where people seem to hang out. It has everything you need, but it does not have some of the bigger things like a rock climbing wall that you can find on east campus. It gets crowded in the late afternoons/early evenings, but still it never gets as busy as the east campus gym. The biggest thing I don't like is that the running track is extremely small (1 mile is like 20 laps), and the track is just hard plywood, instead of the typical "track" material that is softer on the knees. Otherwise, I have no complaints about the amount of free weights or machines available.

Positive experience: This gym is okay. It's not big at all, but it's a great place if you want to come in for a quick workout before/after class. They offer some free group classes too. It gets pretty crowded during peak times & you might have to wait for available machines. Swimming pool is only a lap pool.
