East Bank Club

Fantastic experience: The East Bank Club is a great place to work out! It has SO MANY work out facilities! You honestly could live there your whole life and not even leave that building! I wish all my friends had memberships so we could hang out there. Also, the couches are incredibly comfortable :)

Fantastic experience: Really great place to hang out for the day. Love the roof top pool. Great with a large or small group. Food is really really good.

Fantastic experience: This gym is my guilty pleasure. I call it a cruise ship on land! I honestly go there and don't feel like i am in downtown Chicago. It is my escape from the busy world and I love it. People may judge because it is an $ monthly fee, but it is well worth it. If you go 4 times a week it is the same price of being a member of a yoga studio + you get the benefits of all of the gym. My one piece of advice is not to charge money on your membership card for food etc. Just pay as you go!

Fantastic experience: Why I joined: I loved the interior architecture, the Art all over that shows many Chicago Artists at the Active Figure finest and funniest (the "Trying" guys above Maxwell's Bar!) the members & guests who actually wear the clothes one sees in shops, the food that is deeelishus and good for you, and after 9 membership years, the intelligence of the interior spaces...the thoughfully chosen materials, division of spaces, furniture, just get more of my admiration. These are important environmental reasons that envelope the person and make me feel better before I even exercise. I can vacation 365 days a year @ the EBC Resort !

Fantastic experience: This is the place to be if you want to meet the hottest gold diggers and Chicago's finest strippers and bottle girls. If you're married and looking to trade up to a newer younger model come by and bring your tax returns and they'll tell you what you qualify for. Be prepared and ready to strut around like a peacock for attention though. You must talk loudly about your sports cars and boats to get any attention. The weights are okay if that's what you're looking for.

Fantastic experience: I always have a great experience going to East Bank Club! Machines are always available. Locker rooms are fully equipped!

Fantastic experience: Such a nice atmosphere in there. The cost to apply is alright but its always worth it. One of the best gyms in Chicago

Fantastic experience: This review just pertains to the nail salon - they cannot remove dip nail polish but otherwise provide great services.

Fantastic experience: This is for the Salon, Tierra does the best fades I’ve had thus far. She’s also conversational if you want to talk and okay to let the silence ride if you’re in a quiet mood. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Very big and cool looking place. I had a great tour with Scott

Fantastic experience: Love ebc! It might be old, but it's big and mighty! Yoga glasses are A+... more challenging than many Chicago studios. The app is easy to use and very convenient. Parking is affordable when validated. So many good things to say about east Bank!

Fantastic experience: the best. new spin studio is really great and love the new workspace on the second floor.

Fantastic experience: This place is one of the best Gyms I have been to. After working out for four years and starting at planet fitness then going to xsport this place is just in a different league. Besides having the best equipment if you’re looking to network this is the best place in the city.

Fantastic experience: One of the best health club facilities in Chicago. It's huge, so no crowds and they increased air flow to ensure good air circulation, meaning lower chance of Covid infection possibility. And have good cleaning regiment in place.

Fantastic experience: I just rejoined after 5 years away. The workout area is incredible as always. What has impressed me the most honestly is the hustle and passion of the employees in the dining areas (and overall). I was in the second floor dining area just ordering some lunch to go and the workers were borderline running through the kitchen trying to get everyone their food as quickly as possible while maintaining a friendly attitude and taking time to ask people how their day is going to build relationships with the members. Couldn’t be happier returning to the club.

Fantastic experience: Best club in Chicago! By far the most put together. You won’t find a better managed club in Chicago

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place. The staff is extremely friendly and courteous. The facility is always clean. There are so many things to do you can spend quite a few hours there if you desire. The classes are average — if you’re comparing them to a class only gym like Studio Three. It can get crowded, so if you want to workout and move on, I suggest going early in the morning. I try to avoid the old staring men crowd that is there between 7am-9am. Sure there are some people who are there to be seen, but whatever. During the summer there’s also a very strong over 50 my kids are gone couples crowd that really likes their alcohol.

Fantastic experience: East Bank Club is top-notch and world class, certainly second to none in Chicago. Everything from top to bottom - service, quality, amenities, up keep, value, etc. - is superb. A special shoutout to Tierra in the Salon who is just the absolute best. Nothing but amazing things to say about this place, definitely a must join. Covid precautions were thoughtful and reasonable, but so was their promptness of alleviating mask requirements in accordance with CDC guidance. Love the EBC!!!

Fantastic experience: Unparalleled facilities in River North. Discounted membership rates for 20 somethings, couples, spouses, and families made it accessible to my wife and I. Terrific hours (5a-10p weekdays), great staff, amazing food, and all around a total lifestyle changer...for the better.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Best physical facilities in the country, actually nothing is even close. Staff is outstanding. They have done a great job reopening with covid. Grill is great quality food and reasonable.

Fantastic experience: It's a wonderful fitness club with a great staff and amenities.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality You get what you pay for. Yes its expensive, but the service & amenities are top notch! Rooftop pool in the summertime is the best. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: yesterday I returned to EBC after a year hiatus. I have always been very impressed with the quality of care and service at the club. The way they have adapted to covid is downright inspirational. This club is one of the best run hospitality businesses that I have experienced. I have been a member since 2001, I'd guess that about half of their current team was there when joined. This level of tenure allows for a consistency that is special. I love east bank. If I could give them six stars I would.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality I used the indoor pool today,as a guest. I have neve been in a pool that has stainless steel on the board sides. The walls in the pool were good for flip turns, know problems there. The entire facility is big and nice. I was impressed.

Fantastic experience: Attended a business event, the meeting space was very nice. Food was very good. Underground parking at venue is extremely convenient.

Fantastic experience: I'm not a member but I'm there every Tuesday and Thursday for classes with the kids I nanny. Great tennis coaches and swim teachers! All very knowledgeable and great work kids. Customer service over all is awesome!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been members for about a year now. We LOVE East Bank for the tennis, the facilities, and amazing variety of classes. Recently, they have definitely lead the charge for other clubs reopening during COVID-19. The management team is clear and concise with new guidelines, and they seem to be common sense practices. Great Work!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful health club that genuinely cares about members and employees. This club has just about everything if not everything to offer. Great services, Great atmosphere and most of all clean and safe place

Fantastic experience: I’m 73 years old and have have belonged to health and country clubs most of my adult life. The EBC is, without question, above all the rest. Not only are the facilities and equipment more and far superior in quality, they continue to always update and improve the club. Special mention must be given to the management team and employees. They are always friendly, polite and very responsive to all members. If you want to be a member at the finest health, exercise club in the country join the EBC.

Fantastic experience: This place is great. East Bank Club is probably the most iconic gym in Chicago. The most amazing equipment. Love East bank Club.

Fantastic experience: Good food. Friendly service.

Fantastic experience: My dad has been going here weekly for over 25 years now. I’ve been able to come and be a guest a couple of times and it’s absolutely wonderful.

Fantastic experience: Love the studio room! Instructor is awesome for bodycombat!

Fantastic experience: Search no more - this is the best gym/ health club will ever find! Sad to leave EBC but only doing it because I’m moving. They have everything you need -lifting area, endless cardio machines, several pools, several courts of multiple sports, outdoor track, multiple restaurants, sauna, steam, hot tub. You name it! Also very kind and helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic club. The most amazing amenities, huge rooms and tons of equipment. So many floors to work out and stretch that you never feel crowded. The locker room is massive and has two steam rooms, saunas, many showers. Restaurants, retail, hair salon, convenience store... you name it. Absolutely recommended.

Fantastic experience: This place is great has everything you could ever want in a gym! I can golf, have my car washed and clothes dry cleaned.

Fantastic experience: East Bank Club is probably the most iconic gym in Chicago. The facilities are amazing -- borderline absurd at times (there are four pools!?!?). The sauna and steam rooms are a great way to relax after a workout. They are also always renovating and upgrading various parts of the club, so things continue to get better and better. There is an indoor 1/4 mile track with a great view of the city, which I really enjoy. My only complaint is at peak hours it can get very busy. Overall an awesome gym and I'll happily continue to be a member!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of EBC for about a year and have found this to be one of the best facilities in town. The personal service is amazing. The trainers know thier stuff too. Best to go here midday because night get crowded. Lots of cardio equipment and free weights. My favorite gym in Chicago by far.

Fantastic experience: Amazing restaurant open to the public. A hidden gem in the middle of the city.

Fantastic experience: I was not sure what to expect at the East Bank Club (since it as a fitness facility). I thought .. a wedding reception at East Bank Club .. really? It was excellent!! They have a cute room next to the river and the cocktail hour is up on the roof/pool area with outstanding views of the city. Fun location and it works perfectly. Management keeps everything moving smoothly and the food is delicious!! Great place to have a reception and/or party. Ray – The Connexion Band

Fantastic experience: Get a pass from your hotel several have them. Lay by the pool, work out and eat excellent food. Sexy women and hot bodies all over the place. Enjoy I was a member there when I lived there worth a visit for sure.

Fantastic experience: The best of the best. We were hesitant to join because it is not inexpensive but it truly makes you want to be there. The service and facilities are top notch. We love the pools, there are always machines available, we also love spending time at the grill or in the business center. In addition, the spa and salon are so convenient and great. Also had a tremendous experience with Ian, the Aquatics Director during an open swim clinic in preparation for the chicago tri. He was so knowledgeable, patient and helpful. Would strongly recommend anyone work with him if they are looking to improve their swimming.

Fantastic experience: I just need my bed to wanna live in this place. Best time pamper myself and also having fun with live groups and great food! Strongly recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: Been here for quite a few years and really enjoy the facility. Staff and trainers are really nice too. The only complaint is the very pretentious members who all are "very important". If you want to work out, be a little social, this is the place to go in Chicago, but remember; the pool is not vegas in the summer so leave the high heels and skimpy swim suits at home!

Fantastic experience: This place is incredible. The service is top notch, and the food is absolutely delicious. Best gym experience in the world!

Fantastic experience: Been a member for a year now. Moved from Equinox and it is hands down the best gym in Chicago.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding gym Downtown. Facilities that cater for every need, outstanding equipment and pools, professional staff. Hard to ask for more!

Fantastic experience: Best health club in the city. 400+ machines in the cardio room create an energetic vibe few can match. The difference of working out here vs. other gyms is like the difference of watching a game at the stadium vs on TV.

Fantastic experience: This place is incredible. Being outside on the sun deck on a nice day surrounded by such a picturesque city is difficult to describe. The staff is warm and welcoming. The food is quite dependable as well. Always look forward to spending my days at EBC.

Fantastic experience: This is not a health club - it's a country club. Great 1/4 mile rack with nice window views of river and city. Multiple basketball courts (and plenty of balls so you don't need to bring your own), Seven indoor tennis courts! One of the few clubs in the city with squash courts. Very nice pools indoors and out with huge sundeck on roof. Great food options, excellent locker room with several TVs and clean spacious showers. Very diverse age range, and just a great atmosphere. It's more money than most clubs, but is an incredible value when you consider everything you get.
