Fantastic experience: Love that my Doctor really cares about my concerns and health

Fantastic experience: Nice an clean love the water class I'm in

Fantastic experience: Nice staff

Negative experience: been trying to login to their website so i can schedule to use the pool and its so broken... forgot username and forgot password links error out, website errors out on any attempt to login. no emails sent. at one point I got an email saying my account has been created even though I never attempted to create a new account... so broken lol. zero response when attempting to contact them

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. I've been a member for 6 years

Positive experience: This is a gorgeous gym, and the staff is wonderful. I love the hot tub and the warm swimming pool, and the classes really bring even more value. It is pricer than say a Planet Fitness, but it has so many amenities that I always recommend it to my friends and family. - Edited to add: I still love this gym, but for the steep price point, it feels like the machines and amenities take forever to be repaired.

Fantastic experience: I was the Kishwaukee Northwestern Medicine Wellness Center because it is spacious and roomy you don't feel like you are on top of people when you work out. Also it is a good place to work out at if you do not want to have kids running around.

Fantastic experience: Great place for a workout.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Most importantly it’s always clean! While it might seem like there are a lot of people there it’s so spread out that you don’t notice. There are so many options and the sauna/steam room/whirlpool in each locker room is cherry on top.

Fantastic experience: Helpful staff. Great doctors

Positive experience: Great space/place. Can feel cramped during busy hours. Gym prices are a lil steep, but you have several amenities that make it feel worth it. If youre able to utilize it all.

Fantastic experience: This is a beautiful, calming space for making great progress towards my health and fitness goals. Friendly atmosphere, friendly folk. You don't need to hide in your headphones or avoid eye contact; people are not in a furious hurry here. Also clean and meticulously kept community space. Sauna, spa, warming therapy pool. Unlimited supply of big fluffy towels. And best of all: no forced viewing of propaganda on workout room screens. .All the luxurious things. I love it!

Fantastic experience: Great space, always clean - a little busy at peak times, but overall its very reasonable.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this membership it's not just a gym it's a club and the crew that walks around and helps out with knowledge on every piece of equipment keeps the gum clean and sanitary with the app we are keep in the loop on class changes and new pop up classes the only thing I wish would be that the gym open up at 5am on Saturday instead of 7 otherwise this place is state of the art

Fantastic experience: Professional and caring staff. Never had a problem there.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, super clean facility, friendly people of all ages working out, and plenty of exercise activities to choose from.

Negative experience: The gym itself is cool but if you’re not white the staff will not acknowledge you as you’re coming in or out. Also Cher The instructor is very rude and needs to learn basics communication and respect for others.

Fantastic experience: I love this place. Indoor walking track, pool, hot tub, sauna, plenty of lockers, plenty of equipment, friendly staff.

Positive experience: Well let me begin by saying I was a member at the Geneva location happily for around a year. I had to move unexpectedly to DeKalb and was excited to hear they had a location there as well. I got so comfortable with the Geneva location and the members were all super nice and awesome. I went for my first time to Dekalb location and of course a different layout to be expected. The free weights area seems very confined and congested and the overall layout I found definitely not as nice as Geneva. Seemed like a younger crowd too than Geneva for sure. The men's locker room with the steam room and showers and spa stuff was SO much nicer laid out in Geneva than Kishwaukee location it was integrated into the locker room there. Dekalb it's all separated and even in the hot tub and steam etc they say you must wear a bathing suit?! What's with that we are grown men why would u have to wear clothes in a hot tub in a locker room another negative about Dekalb location Geneva was super chill and relaxed and way classier nicer feel to it. That whole locker room comparison was the most disappointing in the entire experience. They need to take some pointers from Geneva 100%. Bottom line if you never went to the Geneva location I'm sure it's amazing to everyone who goes there. :)

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout

Fantastic experience: Excellent, very worth the money

Fantastic experience: Brilliant facility, great place for adults and all as well. Go get on shape!

Fantastic experience: Staff constantly cleaning the facility. Staff is very courteous. Large variety of exercise equipment with two pools. How can you complain about this place? Absolutely wonderful place to work out. Locker rooms have a “spa like feeling” that offers a hot tub, steam room and sauna along with clean showers.

Positive experience: Nice, new and clean.

Fantastic experience: Un excelente servicio y atención

Fantastic experience: Woderful!!!!

Fantastic experience: Helpful MDs and nurse practitioners.

Positive experience: Nice facility. A must see.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Love the lap pool and they have a lot machines and weights.

Negative experience: Weakest gym hours I've seen. Very inconvenient.

Fantastic experience: I really look forward to going to the Wellness Center! Great Place with Great People to be around. It was the BEST decision to become a member! ❤️

Fantastic experience: Extremely nice and clean facility

Fantastic experience: Clean, not crowded, AWESOME trainers, so many machines, and equipment to choose from, including 2 pools, basketball court, and much more! Get Healthy Now!

Fantastic experience: Excellant very clean well equipped facility. We like it very much.

Fantastic experience: We did join this center based on the posts here . It’s fantastic. It really is a place where 50+ aged folks finally feel welcome. A Quiet and serene environment that invites peaceful wellness. This is where other fitness centers fall short. Here There is no blaring music or TVs, yelling trainers or unmanaged kids running amok. Space between equipment gives that private moment to work hard without feeling judged or endure other peoples sweat splashing on you (happen to me at more than once at other fitness outfits). NW makes taking care of yourself a pleasure instead of a burden. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic experience: Been here for over a year and its always been kept clean and tidy. Gym is rarely filled to the point where you need to wait for equipment. All equipment is cleaned and ready to use, never had a bad experience here. Pre covid-19 the steamrooms and saunas were always well kept and ready to use at a moments notice. They scan your temperature every entry & require a mask to enter the building and common area. Many treadmills, pull and pull equipment, and benches. Also have the misc equipment such as kettlebells & free weight dumbbells up to 110 lbs i believe . Basketball court has a pickelball net and equipment & is well maintained and in good condition aswell. Not to mention the staff is very nice and welcoming. I've also been offered a spot by one of them aswell. Definitely worth the money you're paying to come here, even just for the simple workouts , its not like LA fitness where you have to wait for a bench and whatnot. Edit: been here for over 2 years almost 3, and it's been wonderful. Only downside is that it gets busy here around 4/5pm, but the people aren't on the machine/bench for usually mire 30 minutes at a time.

Fantastic experience: I love this place! I mainly need a therapy pool but they have so much more to offer. I live in the sticks so a 25 minute drive to my happy place is worth it. This place is never crowded so I have access to everything. They offer classes and nutritional assistance. The best part though... NOOOOOOOOO KIDS! So go enjoy yourself without distractions. (YMCA is next door if you have kids )... Still the best!

Fantastic experience: Procedure went well , Dr Goldman and the nurses were great!!!

Fantastic experience: I go there for physical therapy. Clayton is nice and professional. Caring also. They do offer memberships. they have exercise equipment, pool, and other classes to offer.

Fantastic experience: Excellent patient care.

Fantastic experience: Great facility with many different amenities, classes, and equipments. There are clean locker rooms and a four-combination lock pad on each locker. Snacks and drinks you can add to your account. Friendly, helpful staff and people that go here. It’s worth the cost!

Fantastic experience: The gym is absolutely amazing. Everyone is nice, the staff are awesome, haven't had time to use the pool area yet. It's super clean, definitely worth taking a look into if you're looking for a new gym to workout at.

Fantastic experience: Northwestern

Fantastic experience: So impressed from the moment I came in for my tour of this facility! I had no idea of this hidden DeKalb gem with state of the art equipment and all the amenities one could imagine. Stephanie Winter, Sales Lead and my tour guide was above and beyond AMAZING! She helped coordinate my membership to recieve over 100 off with membership AND private training. All classes are free and they have over 10 a day. I am so surprised how affordable it was and no long contract to get hooked into. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Ask for Stephanie!

Fantastic experience: Staff is awesome. Facility is more than I was hoping for. Here's to getting in charge of my health and wellness again.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful weight room, lap pool, basketball courts, and locker room. So glad I joined! Also staff is incredibly nice.

Fantastic experience: Liberty here

Fantastic experience: Wide variety of machines. Staff are very friendly I endly and knowledgeable. Upper level has the machines and a 3 lane track. One lane for walking one for jogging and one for running Lower level has spinning rooms, the locker rooms and pool. Each side has a steam room and sauna as well as as hydrotherapy tubs. Place is very clean. Sanitizing wipes are supplied for cleaning the machines when you are finished using them. Plenty of parking.

Fantastic experience: Friendly people and love the warm pool

Fantastic experience: If you need to get fixed up this ER is typically get you seen by a Dr quickly.

Fantastic experience: Have been going because of referral from my doctor before surgery. So far I have had a great experience!

Fantastic experience: Best and cleanest gym I have ever worked out at. Serious folks. Not a hip hang out. Just really efficient and friendly.

Fantastic experience: I love Dr. Mathue office. His staff is super friendly and the office has a beautiful scenery. Dr. Mathue is the best!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility! Dylan was great to work with getting signed up!

Fantastic experience: Rudy was amazingly helpful to my mother and I. He listened to our needs and gave us great feed back. Thanks you Rudy for helping us start our journey to a healthier life

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout, walk , exercise. Great staff. And it has a clean facility

Fantastic experience: Great facility. Very clean, knowledgeable staff regarding your health and wellness.

Fantastic experience: They are very nice in the physical therapy area.

Fantastic experience: Great place, top shelf equipment, properly staffed and safe !

Fantastic experience: Workout areas are social distanced and are kept clean. Staff still are helpful with any questions you have.

Fantastic experience: The Wellness Center is an absolutely wonderful fitness center! They are clean, beautiful, state of the art, spacious, supportive, interactive, and caring. They have all of the exercise equipment one could ask for, one on one and group coaching, drop in classes, therapy and lap pools, a spa area, and a court. As a pro for me that could perhaps be a con for others, this center is for adults only. I appreciate the quiet and focused atmosphere, but it's understandable if others are looking for something more family inclusive. They do have a day care for very little ones though. I highly recommend checking out the Wellness Center though if you want to get serious about health and wellness.

Fantastic experience: Very nice facility. People are friendly & very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: So far so good, I really enjoy swimming in the plunge pool early morning and watching the sun come up. After a good workout I play some basketball. After a sauna and shower I can watch some ESPN while I cool down before I head to work. It's a great way to get my day started on the right foot.

Negative experience: Facility was great when they had daycare. I will have to switch to somewhere else if they don't bring it back.

Positive experience: Love working out but wish the kids area would be open so I can workout more days a week instead of 2 or 3 days a month

Positive experience: Has a nice Wellness Center that considering it is part of Northwestern which is part of the hospital is odd they don't take insurance

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff and facilities. Always get a decent workout in

Fantastic experience: Great place, pool, gym, machines, freeweights, super clean, friendly staff not a single complaint

Fantastic experience: Big, airy, great for exercising while social distancing.

Fantastic experience: So clean and there is always equipment available. The classes are all great and every instructor is welcoming - no matter your level of ability. If you’re lucky enough to get personal training with Megan, that’s what brings the experience to a full 5/5. She is fun and pushes you to work hard. Highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: Love the locker room with hot tub

Fantastic experience: Dr. Was very nice, and the nursing staff was very nice

Fantastic experience: Love, love, love the therapy pool!

Positive experience: I would give 5 stars if 24/7. Equipment and building is good the schedule they have is not the best

Positive experience: Good place, good staff (one or two exceptions) . I would say it's a little overpriced, that's the only reason I won't give 5 stars

Positive experience: Love the gym overall

Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility. Lots of different group exercise classes offered.

Fantastic experience: Just wow. Having this facility in our community is a true blessing. The amenities it offers could have me spending the entire day inside. From the staff to the cleanliness, I don't think I could go anywhere else to look after my health!

Fantastic experience: From the sales representative to the nutritionist and trainer, I have been completely satisfied and I am glad I joined

Fantastic experience: The facility is beautiful and I enjoy the classes.

Fantastic experience: The place it's just always nice clean it's worth it.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly stay, clean facility, lots to do and lots of options. Love it.

Fantastic experience: I don't usually like working out at a gym, but I love this place! The equipment is great, and the facility is beautiful.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Dekalb and Sycamore and it’s not close.

Fantastic experience: Love being a member here... So many workout options, friendly staff, comfortable environment - trainers available, but not pushy about getting one. Great nutritional seminars also!

Fantastic experience: Great facility!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Mathen is awesome!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Dekalb and Sycamore and it’s not close.

Fantastic experience: New and clean

Positive experience: A few bumps in the road as they get started: they've had a bit of trouble with the pool heaters but I expect that to be all on track soon. Otherwise, a wonderful experience. The therapy pool has been amazing for my arthritis and a lot less expensive that PT copays! Was magical to watch the first heavy snowfall of the season from the warmth of that warm water pool. (5 stars when there are no more missed swims due to the heater)

Fantastic experience: Totally impressed, everything i expected and then some. Find the staff excellent...working very hard to smooth out the problems of a new facility and to serve the members to their expectations. So glad you are here in the community.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility, locker room with spa and whirlpool is wonderful. Can't wait to use the 85 degree therapy pool. As promised when I signed up, I received an email with the soft opening date and hours for members, they gave us a week before opening to the public, which was great. I am excited about this facilty .

Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility! I signed up over summer and I'm so glad I did! I was able to come in during their member only soft opening to get familiar with all the equipment. The staff has been so friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a fitness center with all the amenities I highly recommend this place.

Positive experience: Yes, the opening of the facility was a bit rocky and could have used improvement but overall it's a pretty sweet place for self improvement. If the staff can get on track (and they will), I expect to upgrade to 5 stars.

Negative experience: Had such high expectations for the new facility. Became a member over the summer well before the opening. At the time of my enrollment the sales team were not exactly sure what date the actual opening would be. But assured me that I would get an email and a letter notification of the opening. I received neither. Unaware that the facility has been open, I renewed my membership for this month at my current gym. I was told today by some random person that NW had infact opened. When I called to see if they would move my Nov. Paid membership to Dec. I was offered a refund. Molly the representative had no interest in keeping me as a member. Way to start out NW. Customer service is a Joke!!! I will chalk this up to being brand new. My advice to anyone thinking of joining, know they will tell you anything, expect little.
