Lincoln Park Athletic Club

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym , great people.

Fantastic experience: Lots of fun and gives you a great workout everytime. The staff is one of the best in the city.

Fantastic experience: Though a bit pricey, LPAC (along with its sister gyms in the CACs) is a fantastic option for a comprehensive fitness center. Friendly staff, excellent (and new!) facilities, and a great arrangement in which you can access all gyms in the CACs family at a slightly higher fee.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym in Chicago! I have been a member of LPAC for about about 4 years now and will never leave. They offer so many great classes. I am particularly obsessed with HIIT (high intensity interval training) on Monday and Thursday nights. The instructor is awesome and makes class so much fun! There is so much energy in the room and what a great workout! They offer so many other classes Body Pump, CXWorx, Full Body Blast, Abs & Arms and the list goes on. I don't know what I would do without LPAC and all of their amazing workout classes.

Fantastic experience: Great fitness option in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. Clean locker rooms, up to date equipment (cardio & weights) and a great variety of group classes to choose from. For those with young children, this facility offers a great kids club for little ones as young as 8 weeks old.

Fantastic experience: Great gym but a little pricey. If you are looking for a clean, professional and convenient gym (located right off the Diversey Brown Line stop) then this is a great option. They offer a ton of classes (which are included in your monthly fee), and the instructors are great about accommodating all skill levels. Try Yoga Sculpt on Friday's with Kraig or HardCore with Linda on Monday. They offer a ton of discounts: corporate, couples, roommates and I believe you can even get a special price is you are a nanny, teacher or student. They also have a mobile app that is pretty handy for keeping up with the class schedules and the club hours.

Fantastic experience: Great swimming pool that's not overcrowded

Fantastic experience: The facilities and staff are excellent. Locker rooms are top notch and their classes are led by top notch instructors. I do the boxing class on Wednesdays and it is upbeat, fun, and a great full body workout.

Fantastic experience: Front desk staff is so friendly and informative. The club itself is clean. There is always equipment available. Whenever I have an issue, the staff is more than willing to listen and offer their help. They have a great variety of classes that satisfy any fitness guru.

Fantastic experience: This gym is so new and nice! The equipment is super modern and works well. The people who work here seem really nice and I always have a good experience here. The gym can get crowded around rush hour, but you can usually find a free machine despite that.

Fantastic experience: Enjoyed this gym. Moved to Printers Row and unfortunately there are no locations in the area. Hope they think about expanding to Printer's Row / South loop.

Fantastic experience: Idk why Lincoln Park Athletic Club has 4.1 stars. The facility is amazing and the staff are truly wonderful. It can get crowded but what do you expect with a gym that is in such a central location. Locker rooms are well kept and clean, there is a huge variety in classes, and everyone respects each others space (no weird youtubers recording their workouts here). Would also highly recommend Julie's Sports Training class!

Fantastic experience: Great club. Excellent classes. Great location

Fantastic experience: I recently became a member and I am really happy with the Aqua TBT class on Sunday and the Bodypump class on Mondays. Very nice and clean locker rooms, showers and pool. It is really a pleasure coming in. My only request to the manager is to add more Aqua TBT classes in the afternoons or evenings during the weekdays or maybe on Saturday. I am sure that many of us will gladly have Aqua TBT classes few times a week and not only on Sunday.

Fantastic experience: Great to workout .

Fantastic experience: Friendly and helpful where they make you feel welcomed! Best gym I have ever been to!!

Fantastic experience: I recently joined here and love the ability to do a thorough workout without being limited. There’s two separate studios and the second one has tons of dumbbells, step ups, bands, kettle bells, TRX, etc! I love going there away from other people to work out sometimes. The weight area has a lot of cable stack machines, new dumbbells, new benches, etc. bonus is the dream and sauna. So happy!

Fantastic experience: LPAC is a great gym. Easy to navigate, well organized, clean, and not busy in the mornings. Would highly recommend Blane for personal training as well. In 6 months, I’ve seen such a huge improvement in my overall strength and wellness by working with him. As someone who is not very athletic and has not spent time in a gym, he is very approachable, friendly, and intentional about reaching the goals of his clients.

Fantastic experience: I'm in love with my gym all over again. Great lifting equipment, huge space, great amenities and affordable for getting all of the amenities. I'm so so happy treating myself to a membership here!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been all over to several different gyms in Chicago and I have to say that this one is my favorite! I especially love the fact that there’s a steam room I can relax in after my workout! Speaking of which, I decided to invest in myself and get a trainer. The trainer I was paired with has also been great! If you’re looking for someone to help you reach your goals, I recommend Chad Dixon! He listens to what your goals are and creates a routine for you to get there. I’ve had several sessions so far and am already noticing positive changes. I will also say that I have a bit of a crazy schedule, and he’s always very understanding and flexible with my availability…which has been extremely helpful!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Been going for about a month now. Very affordable! Super caring and friendly staff. Not crowded. Fully recommended!

Fantastic experience: Always clean and the staff is friendly. Very on top of COVID protocols which makes you feel safe. Before COVID, had attended their SPIN classes and loved them. Looking forward to attending again in the future!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Lincoln Park athletic for close to 15 years now. I live here in Chicago and also in Los Angeles so two years ago I had joined equinox where I belonged for the past two years. I have to say, out of all the Chicago Athletic Clubs this is the one I like the best. The Lakeview location reminds me of going to a gay bar. I like the Lincoln Park location because it’s a clean cut, classy group of people that are respectful to each other and to the cleanliness of the machines. The gym is immaculate, the staff is great and the locker rooms are always clean especially the men’s locker room ~ completely fastidious. Considering I was paying almost $200 more for a luxury club, I would say this is pretty close in regards to equipment offering and space to Equinox ~ the only difference is, the walls aren’t all black and there is not marble floors in the locker rooms and steam rooms but other than that there’s really no difference between this and Equinox.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Lots of space and has pretty much everything a fitness enthusiast would need. Equipment of note are: Plate-Loaded BootyBuilder, 5 Squat Rack/DL Platforms (although you can DL off the platforms since the floor is all turf), Rock-climbing treadmill, 5+ Dual Cable machines. Only thing missing is a Smith Machine, but really who needs that lol

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out and super affordable...

Fantastic experience: Favorite gym in Chicago

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities in a modernized old building. Airy studio for strength training. I haven't tried classes yet, but a huge number of machines are available whenever they are not used for a class. Treadmills, rowers, stair climbers, ellipticals, etc. Nice pool for lap swimming. Clean nice locker rooms. And free parking! Great trainers, friendly staff, reasonable cost. Yes, I love it.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Good patron energy, genuine staff, clean facilities, awesome assortment of weights and machines…

Positive experience: I do love this gym and the environment. One issue is the hours. It closes at 7:00 PM or 9:00 PM depending on the night but it would be so much better if they returned to their original schedule and closed at 11:00 PM.

Positive experience: Staff is great, facility is nice, people that go here are also nice, nobody tries to show off or be conceited about their bodies. Only reason why I deducted a star is because they close way too early PERIOD! They should increase their hours of operation.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of the Chicago Athletic Clubs for nearly seven years. A great club with excellent amenities and instructors.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. I have been a member for many years! Weight room is clean, bright and open. Great instructors/classes as well! Pat and the LPAC staff work hard to maintain a professional atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Nice gym with a bigger free weight lifting space than the one in Bucktown. Decent value for the money (especially if you take advantage of scheduled classes). Staff and other gym goers here have been great in my experience.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Great service and classes. It feels like a community gym that the members and staff are proud to take care of. Best gym in the CAC network.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym and classes

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. I was notified of the 30 day termination notice also. Pros: Can go to any other gym location Sauna and steam room are very nice Walk in yoga classes Stellar gym equipment Open space concept is very cool. Doesn't have a dimly lit gym feel! Beautiful gym, great classes, good facilities, not ridiculously expensive Cons: Can get crowded in the evenings after work hours (pretty typical at a downtown gym) Considering the fact its a larger gym in the city, that's to be expected, I don't see why that demotes it to a 1 star gym. I would argue it's crowded because people like it.

Fantastic experience: I love this place, and have continued to enjoy my workouts with the new & necessary safety protocols. I just saw a review from someone named Emily Owen and kinda wanted to balance out her ridiculous review...I've personally interacted with Susannah at LPAC and she's always been a complete delight! I had a similar issue with the payment processes during the quarantine, but it was resolved and I very quickly understood what happened and how I'd misunderstood the situation. I think Emily must be mistaken, or simply doesn't understand how to talk to people/how businesses work. In any case, she seems like a totally unpleasant person (look at her past reviews) and is besmirching this good company & Susannah's name because, it seems, she messed something up. Talk about a Karen, totally unprofessional.

Fantastic experience: To everyone ripping into this place for the number of members, yes, if you go during typical gym hours it will be crowded. You should expect this when living in the city. The facilities are great. The equipment is clean and works well. Their hours offer you a more flexible workout schedule and I love going here.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic cycle classes. Been going for close to 17 years

Fantastic experience: Great gym and staff. Have a lot of cardio and weight training machines. Can get really crowded Monday-Wednesday around 5-6PM. Slightly outdated, but still a good time.

Fantastic experience: 1st time. The right time .Early afternoon. Not crowded. Great machines.

Fantastic experience: The best way to describe LPAC is to compare it to a pub. It has a homey feeling about it where everyone comes here for personal improvement. LPAC has complementary parking in its lot that is maintained my friendly staff which is a necessity if you are commuting by car. The upstairs weight lifting area is extraordinary as it opens up and feels much larger that it looks from the outside. All the equipment is brand new. The classes are at convenient times and are offered for just about everything: yoga, cycling, weight lifting, water aerobics, boxing, rock climbing, etc. Well worth the investment! Sometimes I go just to relax in the sauna, steam room, or the hot tub.

Fantastic experience: excelent

Fantastic experience: The facilities here are excellent. The people who work here are very nice and do an excellent job of giving you all of the information. It is more expensive than let's says an LA Fitness, or Xsport. However, the equipment, the multiple locations through out the city, and the fact that there is free parking is well worth the price. Also, if you work for a non-profit, they provide an excellent discount!
