Wicker Park Fitness

Fantastic experience: Wicker Park Fitness is a great neighborhood gym. Staff is great and greet everyone that comes in the door! Equipment is in good order and well maintained. Always have workout towels and apples at the front desk.

Fantastic experience: I really do love WPF. I have been going there for a year and a half and I re-uped again till August of 2014. I love Scott the bootcamp instuctor. Jaime, Lee and Terry are also very good instructors. All very knowledgeable and engaging. The front desk staff is also always helpful and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and helpful staff who seem like they liked working there goes a LONG way to help patrons feel at home. This gym is on the small side but also without the trainer upsell or the crowd that usually accompany a larger gym. Prices are beyond reasonable and they have very flexible contract terms.

Fantastic experience: I've been working out at Wicker Park Fitness for almost three years now and have never been unhappy. The prices are very reasonable for Chicago and staff is very polite. While they do not have the large scale facility that some gyms have in the area, they do have everything you could possibly need to get a good workout in.

Fantastic experience: After researching many gyms in the area, Wicker Park and Southport Fitness are easily the best gyms in Chicago for the price. Always clean with well-maintained equipment, and have everything you could every need at a gym with a great variety of cardio and resistance training equipment. The gym is also 24/7 access for members, which has been greatly beneficial for me. You simply will find no better place to train for your money than at these 2 locations. In addition, the personal training deals are also unbeatable compared to any gym in or out of the city. They offer 3 sessions of personal training for $99 which is a price that no other gyms in the city will even come close to. Would recommend this personal training service and the gyms in general to anyone!

Fantastic experience: What a great locals! Only gym. Open every day of the year, 24/7. Got tired of my rate continually changing on me at Wicker Park athletic club so I came here, havent left (that was 5 years ago!) Place's cleaned twice a day too, which is unheard of in the gym world. Great training, great staff, everything you need and nothing you don't. Can't recommend this enough

Fantastic experience: I love this neighborhood gym! I’ve been a member for a couple of years. It’s the best prices in the area and they really accommodate to make sure everyone can afford to join the gym. They have lots of equipment and there’s always plenty of space to workout.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Wicker Park Fitness for a few months now and love it! I tried a few other gyms in the area and (despite being more expensive and bigger) their equipment was run down, the weightlifting areas were always packed full, and their hours were worse. I'm not sure what it is, but the members at Wicker Park Fitness are so courteous and never hog the equipment. Even though the gym is smaller, I never have trouble doing all of my workouts. I also love that it's a 24 hour gym so I can drop in very early or late at night on a busy day!

Fantastic experience: A solid no nonsense gym. Good mix of equipment including 3 squat racks and a clean/deadlift platform! They pack an impressive amount of functional equipment in this space. The hours can't get better and it only seems crowded at the peak after work hour. It has 3 different rooms and plenty of space in the locker rooms. A great value too with flexible plans.

Fantastic experience: The gym is very clean, convenient, and easy to use! It's 24/7 so I can go workout whenever it fits my schedule! The staff are very friendly and helpful and the facility is well maintained!

Fantastic experience: This gym has a lot to offer for an affordable price! They have a great new member personal training deal with awesome staff. The gym is 24/7 and there's another location! They even have a hanging bag and a deadlift platform!!

Fantastic experience: Great clean gym and has all the needed equipment! Highly recommend plus reasonable price

Fantastic experience: Great pricing, everything is explained up front. There are no hidden fees. No high traffic like other gyms during peak hours. Easy to move around and the staff is extremely friendly. Very clean as well!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a gym with great accessibility look no further then Wicker Park Fitness. With 24 hour access, I even managed to get a workout in after Thanksgiving dinner this past year! No frills gym with exactly what I need to power through a great workout. That’s the point right!? Busy during the usual peak hours but I always manage to seamlessly accomplish my goals while people respect the facility and the other members around them. It also boasts one of the cities most talented Personal Trainers, Martin. Him and his team have improved the wellbeing of my body and my health in a dramatic way. His skill is unmatched on so many levels from knowledge, form, nutrition.. really the list is never ending! Don’t walk… RUN… to WPF and their talented PT’s!!!

Fantastic experience: I started Wicker Park Fitness to train with Martin after seeing some of his amazing transformations on Facebook. Firstly, the space is just the perfect size with no frills, just the equipment that is needed which I tend to lean more to when looking for a gym. They have plenty of weights and we never have had an issue grabbing the ones we need throughout. A problem that I have encountered at other gyms. Martin is an amazing trainer. He is very knowledgeable about everything to do with fitness and really works with you and your needs and goals. He has taught me a lot with our weekly sessions and I have gained a lot of muscle and tone. During our training hour, he always respects others that are in the gym working out, making sure that he doesn't take any machine being used by another. I even added an additional session with him monthly. I have trained with many trainers in the past and I enjoy the workouts Martin customizes for me to achieve my goals! I highly recommend Martin if you are looking to get real results, but you might want to hurry as his schedule fills quickly!

Fantastic experience: Although I've moved away from the area, I still highly recommend this gym. Martin, the personal trainer I was matched with there many years ago, is top notch and is an extremely attentive and experienced trainer. He takes a very methodical but diverse approach to helping people reach their fitness goals, going well beyond the role of personal trainer (eg nutrition, trigger point massage, flexibility/mobility, and general advice on wellbeing). It's a smaller space than many gyms, but the price is quite low, especially for wicker park. The equipment is all good quality & the people that there were always typically very friendly and laid back.

Fantastic experience: The location is on point! Division street is a great hot spot in Wicker Park. I enjoy how clean and attentive the staff are. I really like that the gym is 24/7 as well. They have a great personal training deal and a hanging bag! You should check it out if your looking to join a gym! :) Rooms : 5/5 | Service : 5/5 | Location : 5/5 … More

Fantastic experience: Great location, price, and equipment. Has everything you need in a top tier neighborhood gym. Staff is helpful and friendly. Plus it’s 24/7!

Fantastic experience: A great gym that is clean and never too busy. All the essentials to get a great work out in. Check out Southport fitness too!

Fantastic experience: I dance, and it's so nice to have a mirrored practice area. The Southport location (Southport Fitness) also has a mirrored room where the ceilings are higher, however the benefit of the Wicker Park gym is that the mirrors are on all four walls. This is really helpful for checking alignment in yoga and dance.

Fantastic experience: Gym is amazing, clean, staff is friendly and helpful. new ownership made this place much better.

Fantastic experience: Very chill gym. A lot of value for a good price. The location is also great! I did not know this before I became a member but the gym is actually open to members 24/7. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a gym in the neighborhood.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Extremely clean, the staff is friendly, and the pricing is fair and has no hidden fees etc. like a lot of other gyms. Love that it is a neighborhood gym and the set up is pretty cool. Staff is constantly cleaning even when the gym is busy, which is awesome! Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Good hours available for working out. Also I lost my credit card and forgot to update my info for a month so they called me to update this info and didn't make me pay the last month saying, "Everyone is going through hard times right not." Now that is CLASS. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Just moved to the location and found my everyday gym after testing out a couple other gyms in the area. Wicker Park Fitness stays on top of keeping the facility clean and the front desk is very informative. Also they have a great deal on personal training sessions. 3 one-hour sessions for only $99 and a handful of the best certified trainers in the city of Chicago!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Clean gym, friendly staff, fairly priced, all the weights you need for a successful workout. For the price you can’t ask for much more.

Fantastic experience: This is my favorite gym. Great personal training and extremely clean facilities. The equipment works well and there are a lot of different weights.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at this Gem of a Gym for over 10years. I give it a full recommendation to anyone who views a gym as place you go to workout. If you view a gym as place that has a barista, steam room, and carpeted locker rooms - WPF ain’t your place! WPF offer all the essentials for cardio and weight training and for low membership fees. Staff and management have been super friendly since day one - and always show care for their members, and the gym’s facilities. Only crowded during the 5:30-6:30, but rarely have to wait for any station I want to use. WPF is offers a super in-and-out experience for those aiming to make the workout the top priority of a trip to the gym : )

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to this gym for a few years now and I love it. It has a great neighborhood vibe with friendly staff and members. The gym is definitely on the smaller side, but for the price and equipment selection it doesn’t get any better.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for a great price in a great neighborhood. On the smaller side but it has every piece of equipment you could want. Plenty of room to grab a mat and do your own thing if you're not interested in using the machines. Staff are friendly, gym is clean. Numerous classes offered.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! I had two different gym memberships prior to COVID (one near work and one near home). After COVID hit, trying to pause my membership with the big chain gym near where I worked was a nightmare, while WPF has been communicative, transparent, and helpful. This is the only membership I’ve kept due to the stellar way they’ve handled COVID. It may be a small neighborhood gym but it’s well-maintained, super clean, the staff is friendly, and I can get a great workout in without compromising my health. Personal training sessions with Kenzie have also been fantastic – he’s understanding of my limitations put still pushes me to better myself. I definitely recommend them if you’re looking for a new gym.

Fantastic experience: I have never felt more welcome at any other gym in my life! The staff was absolutely was wonderful and inviting. Super clean, and the staff was constantly sanitizing the equipment. Its always open with a super kind atmosphere. Also, Colin the owner is super kind, and really listened to me regarding my disability. 5/5 I wish I could live here.

Fantastic experience: This gym is exceptional - friendly staff, everything you need, nothing you don't. Dollar and change a day, cleaner than any gym I've ever been a member at, and classes/yoga and a free hour of personal training included! They even let ya cancel by email! Staff's great, members are even better! Check it out, they give you a free workout (during staffed hours, which are on website).

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Wicker Park Fitness for a little over a year now. The gym has a great vibe, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this gym to anyone who lives in the area. Not a huge facility but has everything you need for a neighborhood gym at a very affordable price!

Fantastic experience: The gym is very clean and organized. Not too crowded. Well kept machines and equipment. As if that isn’t enough for me and most gym goers, the yoga classes really are the icing on the cake.

Fantastic experience: I love Wicker Park Fitness gym. It is a great neighborhood gym. The vibe in the gym is friendly and not pretentious. Anyone can feel comfortable working out there. They have absolutely everything that you need in a gym plus some. You rarely have to wait to use any equipment which is so nice. love their fitness classes and instructors. I highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: Great neighborhood gym with excellent customer service. I had to cancel my membership due to an unexpected move out of the neighborhood and there was no hassle. Most gyms require you to jump through a million hoops to close out which is the most annoying experience ever. The WPF team was super accommodating and used my email alone as confirmation of cancellation. I highly recommend this gym to anybody in the neighborhood.

Fantastic experience: I have been a $30/month Yoga Unlimited member of Wicker Park Fitness for approximately 7 months. The instructors for yoga are incredible. Each teacher is a little different, but they all care about your form and technique and will assist you if you have any difficulties or limitations. Every teacher knows me by name and plans the lesson out beforehand, making the class go smoothly so you can slip into breath to movement. They also have relaxing or upbeat playlists depending on the type of class. It's great! I definitely recommend the $30/month unlimited yoga class and the rest of the gym looks great as well. The gym go-ers and the staff are so friendly and helpful! The locker rooms are clean.

Fantastic experience: You get what you pay for. A gym so close you can walk there in a few minutes. You can bench press there unlike Planet Fitness. I'm not paying a thousand dollars a year for WPAC, nor am I interested in driving all the way to Planet Fitness. Obviously it's a tight squeeze and crazy from 5-7 but common sense should dictate that. Most people rerack their weights at this gym. I moved and go to LA Fitness now and it's like a scavenger hunt trying to find matching dumbbells. Almost all of the 1-star reviews come from people with the same last name, which means they come from a family of complainers or happened to all be there on this gym's one day that things weren't on point.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of several gyms, this one meets all of my needs - it is clean, bright, secure, well-equipped, very accessible 4:30am-12am! reasonably-priced, with friendly staff experience and super conveniently located!

Fantastic experience: Joined this gym a few weeks ago, and it's been great so far. Sign up process is straight forward, pricing is simple without any weird or confusing loopholes, cancel anytime. Gym is open long hours with staff, has all the machines you need spaced out appropriately, and is always clean. Most times, outside of the after work rush, it's not very busy, don't have to worry about waiting on a machine or being too crowded. Staff is friendly and helpful. Complementary towel service.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic neighborhood gym, with very welcoming staff and great fitness classes. I have been a member for 5+ years and I recommend it for anyone- no matter where you are in your fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: Clean gym, very friendly staff and great location, it's very convenient to have this if you are near the area. Tried yoga, I will definitely come again !

Fantastic experience: This Gym is super clean and had all the necessary equipment for a great workout. Recently Logan Fitness shut down and apparently cut ties with the other two locations. Wicker park fitness decided to allow us "Refugees" to workout as a guest. I can't thank them enough honoring my logan square membership while this whole ordeal is worked out. Friendly staff 10/10

Fantastic experience: The gym is clean, has very reasonable hours, and the staff is incredibly nice. It's also bigger than I first expected when I saw it from the outside, and is by far the most affordable gym in the area. The yoga instructor in particular is superb! I've taken yoga at a few gyms, but Christine provides the perfect balance between instruction and flow.

Fantastic experience: Joined here a month ago and I've been really pleased. Membership is tiered and affordable and the staff are kind. One time an instructor didn't show up for class but that's the only negative experience I've had. And they were super apologetic about it (someone was pregnant and the sub cancelled). Definitely recommend joining here.

Fantastic experience: Checked out Wicker Park Fitness last night for the first time. I thought it would be much smaller inside but it's actually pretty big. I lifted and actually jumped into the Yoga class at 7:30. By no means is it a "fitness club" but for the price I thought it was great!

Fantastic experience: Being there for 2 years I saw the gym go through many changes including a change in ownership. Wicker Park Fitness isn't a fancy pants top of the line facility but as I've said many times before, it was my home away from home. It doesn't have fancy amenities such as towel warmers and saunas but what it lacks in flash, it makes up for in heart. Many members have become good friends and spend time with each other outside of the gym. Ive made life long friendships there including meeting the love of my life. I can honestly say that the heart of Wicker Park Fitness lies within its members. People care for one another there and you will not find that spending over 80 bucks a month at some big name chain. The personal trainers are top of the line, be it Martin, Samantha, Jaime, Sheldon or Cindy, you will always have them giving 100% effort in tailoring the right workout to fit your needs. I started working out there weighing in at 150 lbs and with the guidance of PT and nutritional advice, I dropped to 120 lbs and am in the best shape of my life. Classes are always a fun time whether its Barre Burn with Jaime, Yoga Fit with Christine, Bootcamp with Martin, or Booty Burn with Samantha they will kick your ass everytime. Last but certainly not least Colin the new manager is one of the coolest guys you'll meet and goes above and beyond to make your experience enjoyable. If you want a gym where you can make friends, learn new things, and not break the bank, look no further than Wicker Park Fitness.

Fantastic experience: A great gym at a great value. They have all of the equipment you need in about the right amounts (there could always be more squat racks I suppose), it's very clean, and the staff are all fantastic and friendly. I also like that you but months at a time instead of a monthly fee: if you gut a6 month membership and don't use it, that's it! You aren't paying for it for another 2 years. I think it's a good business practice, providing value for customers.

Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff, no nonsense gym with the stuff you need to get a great workout. Also, the membership cost is the best you'll find around. Try to avoid going at 5-6PM on weekdays, as it can get pretty busy. Going around 8-9PM is perfect, or in the morning.
