Fantastic experience: Great place to build muscle.

Fantastic experience: Best place..

Positive experience: Half of treadmill tv don't work

Fantastic experience: Lots of equipment and great trainers.

Positive experience: Great gym. Dated equipment. Is underground so it doesn't have the best natural lighting. They play newer music and cater to a younger crowd. The locker rooms smell kind of funky. They have a steam room which is a nice amenity. My favorite piece of equipment is the heavy punching bag! I alternate between that and the treadmills for high intensity cardio!

Fantastic experience: Clean gym, friendly staff. They have everything you'd want in a gym and more. They also offer a solid deal for students.

Positive experience: Variety of weight and exercise programs.. Did I mention the juice bar.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere

Positive experience: The boot camp is pretty low key. Probably good for everyday but not an intense workout. Solid equipment and fairly diverse options. Facilities a little worn but perfectly serviceable. From their website I was expecting much higher end.

Fantastic experience: I was able to Disc Jockey a wedding at this facility. Very nice wedding venue. The events coordinator was awesome to work with.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area.

Positive experience: Great atmosphere for a workout. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have a wonderful steam room for a great finish to your workout. The fitness classes are the best in the area.

Fantastic experience: The absolute best gym I have ever been a member to. Friendly staff that talks to you like friends, the manager goes above and beyond to maintain gym cleanliness and customer service needs. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: If you are serious about your workouts, then look no further! This is not a see-and-be-seen gym, but rather for people of all ages (and some of those Silver Sneaker folks can lift you over their heads!) who are looking for a good work out. This is not a social, chit-chatty gym, and that is why I like it. They have great personal training packages and some really great trainers. The best gym in Champaign for sure!

Fantastic experience: Very clean

Fantastic experience: Stopped in to see if this was a good gym for my college daughter. Wow! I wish this gym was in Chicago! This place has tons of machines! About 4-6 of every machine! Also free weights and free weight machines. And a great selection of elliptical, bikes and treadmills. Also, a fantastic, fresh juice bar, Les Mills classes and very nice locker rooms/ showers and steam. I joined for both of us. We got punch cards to use whenever we want. The staff and the members are all like family and very welcoming. This place is a hidden treasure!

Fantastic experience: There is an array of equipment that covers just about any workout goal, mass gain or weight loss. There are 7+ different types of cardio machines, two deadlift stations, 3 squat racks, 3 smith machines, and 3 bench press areas. There are machines that cover every muscle group and free weights that go to 130lbs +.The fresh made protein shakes are great as well as the other drink options. The locker rooms are spacy and showers and a steam room are available. The staff is very friendly as well. Trainers and different classes are available. Childcare can be acquired as well. I have been to numerous gyms in town and the overall package provided at the refinery is the best outside the university.

Fantastic experience: I've been travelling the country trying out multiple gyms in every area in San Francisco, LA, Dallas, Champaign, and Chicago - this is by far my favorite gym. Facilities are top shelf; plenty of cardio machines and free weights, steam room, shake/smoothie bar, classes, even child care. Members are all welcoming, and at various fitness levels. But the best part is the staff. They've got a great group of people running this place. I'll be back whenever I'm in Champaign.

Fantastic experience: Been going to this gym for over a year now and I'm very happy with it. Lots of machines, free weights, staff is friendly and it's a very welcoming atmosphere. Plenty of large flat-screen TVs showing primarily news and sports channels. A lot of the cardio machines have dedicated TVs attached to the machine. I mainly do bodybuilding but there are people of all sorts of fitness levels from casual cardio enthusiasts to competing powerlifters. Smoothie bar is great but kind of expensive. The building has some issues with leaking when it rains hard but the staff is well aware of the issue and working on getting it fixed. Wish they would get another deadlift bar lever/holder thing (don't know what it's called) because there's only one and loading a bar on the ground is difficult. Other than that, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I've been living temporarily in Champaign for a school program and was fortunate enough to find Refinery Gym. It has all of the most important aspects of any gym: the staff is GREAT, the gym is clean, the Machinery WORKs and you don't have to fight anyone for a machine. On top of that, there is a steam room and they make great post work-out shakes! The clientele is a mixture of all age groups and fitness levels. I want to take this gym to my hometown. I'm gonna miss it. This is me!
