West Loop Athletic Club

Fantastic experience: Great gym, location is extremely accessible and the community really friendly and personable. only thing I miss in a gym is an indoor track. It has everything else you could ask for: saunas, basketball court, pool, hot tub, classes. Absolutely love this gym.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym, which is part of the CAC Athletic Club family. Great facilities, great employees, great hours and unlimited classes. Oh, and did I mention free parking? Can't ask for more in my opinion!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! There are a ton of classes and the staff is so friendly. Definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a new gym.

Fantastic experience: I work out here a few times a week. This place has everything which I really like. i don't feel confined to one area or feel I don't have a lot of options of how I want to exercise. Really like this place.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely LOVE this gym! I have run the gamut on gym memberships, from Planet Fitness to local gyms to XSport Fitness to Anytime....this is by far the best I've ever been to for several reasons: LOVE taking group classes and not only do they have a TON every day and a wide variety, but they have them in "prime 9-5er hours," meaning people who work typical work hours still have plenty of early morning or later evening options. Almost every day there is a class that doesn't start until 6:45 which is plenty of time to get home, change, and get to the gym. The staff and instructors. They're all amazing! Front desk workers are always friendly, helpful and welcoming. Instructors are personal, passionate, and know how to push you just hard enough :) Locker rooms are always clean and spacious. Have participated in almost all the classes: TRX, Heavy Hitters and Spin are my favorites!

Fantastic experience: Great club! The gym is clean and instructors are the best!!! A lot of classes!

Fantastic experience: My favorite of all the 'west side' athletic clubs. It's the oldest but most spacious and obviously the parking lot is a gem.

Fantastic experience: My favorite gym in the city. Sure, it's not as plush as an Equinox, but the size, staff, and classes make up for it. They still have a sauna and steam room, so I'm happy. The instructors appear to really love what they do, and stay on top of current (reputable) fitness trends. Evenings between 5-7 are pretty crowded like anywhere else, but after 7:30pm the place dies down. It is easy to feel at home, therefore easier to look forward to my workout!

Fantastic experience: This is an extremely well-maintained, organized, and friendly facility that has many options for physical exercise. There are tons of cardio options, an outstanding machine inventory, and a beautiful pool with a jacuzzi. Cannon is an excellent employee to work with and takes time to make all members feel welcome. I hope this gym continues to thrive in the West Loop and expand to other neighborhoods.

Fantastic experience: My Second Home; Always Clean, Tons of Clean Towels, Attendants always courteous. Lots of Rooms and a swimming pool, Weight rooms; Dancing & Yoga Studios, We are just missing a game Chess set…

Fantastic experience: Great location, modest crowd, always good work a solid workout.

Fantastic experience: WAC is by far the best gym I have ever had a membership at. Clean, spacious, and the staff are awesome. I also recently started working with one of their Personal Trainers, Michelle Atkins. She is awesome! I look forward to our sessions because I learn SO much, get a great workout, and have fun at the same time. 10/10. Highly recommend hitting up Michelle for personal training sessions

Fantastic experience: I express my gratitude to the team of this gym, especially to Nathan Williams. Always friendly staff and ready to help. Only a few wishes: The equipment in the cardio zone. Would be great to have a feature that allows connecting equipment to the mobile application like an Apple health via Bluetooth. And put a more powerful heater in the sauna.

Fantastic experience: I really love CAC gyms are very clean compared to most. The staff are friendly and helpful the space is great! The locker rooms are always clean. It’s aesthetically pleasing and the equipment is pretty well maintained and up to date. Aside from these great factors I love the energy of the environment. People are there to get their workouts in and are mindful (respectful) of others. Noise levels are moderate but always respectful and that is exactly what I need. No one is in there to intimidate or challenge you (with the exception of a few bad apples SCREW THEM) 99% of the people there are focused on their goals. I moved out of Chicago and I am struggling to find a gym that compares. The price is a fair charge for what you get. CLEAN SAFE NICE ENVIRONMENT

Fantastic experience: This place is one of the best gyms I have went to. I think some people have trouble cancelling the membership or letting them know ahead about the membership ending period, so they dont come as a surprise. Gym wise, love the space it has. And is well maintained.

Fantastic experience: This club has the best swimming pool, a 25 meter 5-lane pool, of all the CAC's that I know of. Unfortunately, there is so much development surrounding it that is likely to be eaten up or that at some point parking will be impossible. Enjoy it while you can.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member here for 10 years and counting.

Fantastic experience: Great location, affordable, great customer service

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Great facility

Fantastic experience: Went today for the first time with my gympass account. Extremely nice front desk staff and the gym has all the equipment you would need (I do advanced workouts). Sure, maybe the equipment isn't brand new but it does have tons of options, plus swimming pool, tons of cardio equipment on the second floor. Not sure how much a membership costs here but very surprised with the low ratings.

Fantastic experience: For the price best gym in chicago, most have parking which is super helpful and the people are not your typical gym bros. Many locations and all are very unique. My wife and i also were able to get the student discount and i received a discount for being a healthcare worker. Love the turf workout areas. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I really love this gym. I've been a member since 2014 and have access to all the clubs but this is my preferred one. It has everything that I need and more: a variety of group classes, lots of machines and a huge free weights area. Additionally there is a 25 meter pool and a Jacuzzi. Clean facilities and a friendly staff are a plus. I don't use a personal trainer but the ones with whom I've spoken are friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: The most beautiful place to feel relaxed and energized in the present moment that we are going through.

Fantastic experience: “Every day, once a day give yourself a present” Inspector Cooper said in “Twin Peaks”.This is my gift to myself everyday. It’s a premium gym comprising of considerate, neat and motivated members who don’t mind paying extra for well maintained equipments along with wet and dry saunas, warm clean towels and great quality overall. The locker room is clean and they provide you the best shampoo and soap. The staff is helpful and informed. Really worth the premium charges.

Fantastic experience: I'm a member of WAC for over 4 years and I love it. Environment, staff, classes, studios, people. Feels like home sweet home.

Fantastic experience: Gigantic gym. I never have trouble looking for a cardio gym at all. The weight area is also big but always seems occupied no matter what time. They have so many cleaning wipes you can use so the gym is always clean. The front desk people can be rude sometimes though.

Fantastic experience: To the guy who finds it way to busy, peak hours are always busy. It's how a business stays alive. If it was empty, they would either have to charge more or go out of business. Try switching up your workout or substitute an exercise on a machine that isn't busy. To the lady that can't find a parking spot, this is Chicago... WAC has lots of parking but yes, not everyone can park in front of the building. To the guy that thinks everyone is on their phones, if you are lifting for bulk, the average rest time between sets is 3-5 min. On a 5 rep-5 set, that means 25 min of down time that people may use to check their emails or social media. To the lady who had problems canceling after a week, maybe you shouldn't have signed a year long contract; that's how contracts work in the real world. To the guy who likes his apartment gym better, honestly, no one reading these reviews cares. We don't all have gym apartments.

Fantastic experience: Very clean well maintained gym. They really know what they are doing.

Fantastic experience: good to work out here

Fantastic experience: They have everything you need along with a cool atmosphere, friendly staff and a clean facility.

Fantastic experience: Enjoy all the CAC gyms- always clean, access to lots of equipment and classes. Like west loop best for amount of space and great pool and hot tub. Free parking too.

Fantastic experience: Clean gym, reasonable prices, and an excellent staff. Brindon was especially helpful in getting me signed up.

Fantastic experience: I was very pleased with the classes and the customer service. Their app is fun to use too! I have gone to this gym during the summers when I lived in the West Loop. I would go there again if I moved back.

Fantastic experience: You get a lot for what you pay for. Under $100/month gets you access to the full gym, a ton of classes and a pool. Most of the gyms in the area charge twice that much for just classes and limited gym equipment with limited access. It may be the times I go but I never have to wait for equipment. There's plenty to go around. The staff seems friendly and if you work out at the same time everyday, the regulars become a little friendly community, not chit-chatty-interrupt-your-workout friendly, just a nod and a smile and help you out if you need it. It's nice.

Fantastic experience: West Loop is a great gym, they keep it very clean, it has excellent equipment, and the staff is friendly. Can't ask for more than that!

Fantastic experience: An extra ordinary gym, lovely staff, excellent facilities, this is your gym if you like thing clean and organised.

Fantastic experience: Pretty dope spot

Fantastic experience: My second home. Extremely well priced for the amount of classes and amenities. The kids club staff is amazing and every class I've taken I have enjoyed. Honestly couldn't believe people left bad reviews. The majority of equipment upstairs is new and they are currently renovating another area. Other gyms I've looked into have crazy enrollment fees but there are often specials where the fee is waived. I joined in April and am so glad I did.

Fantastic experience: Love it

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym
