Bucktown Athletic Club

Fantastic experience: The best!

Fantastic experience: Membership is super helpful. Lots of open space to stretch and do less tradition work outs too.

Positive experience: One of the smaller locations, but still clean with plenty of equipment.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: Fantástico

Fantastic experience: Has every thing and more that i was looking for.

Positive experience: A great gym, part of the Chicago Athletic Clubs. I only attend the group classes that are offered but all the instructors that I've had there are very good: Bodypump, yoga and spin.

Positive experience: Not quite enough equipment for the number of people. There is often a line for the racks. It is kept clean and COVID protections are in place.

Fantastic experience: Very clean gym with friendly staff and members. Only downside is limited space for weight lifting that gets really packed after 5pm.

Fantastic experience: Feel very safe here with Covid-19. Good teachers, very clean.

Fantastic experience: GREAT PLACE

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym. Very clean and well maintained overall.

Fantastic experience: A bit busy right after work but very clean and organized.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for the price!

Fantastic experience: Awesome old school gym, with pretty much all you need. Pricing is very reasonable, and no cancellation b.s!

Positive experience: Three levels, love the stretching area, the cardio floor is well equipped, the workout floor is big and has decent amount of machines. Only down side is no guest passes offered with membership and purchasing a one day pass is unreasonably pricey.

Positive experience: Really enjoy the gym and convenience of location. Very clean, front desk is extremely helpful. However the classes are sub-par. Previously went to FFC and the quality of the instructors and classes offered were far above. Would suggest more 45 minute classes and better instructors.

Positive experience: As a CrossFit gym for CrossFit people: 5 stars, good facility with knowledgeable coaches, plenty of class times and class options. From the perspective of a non-athletic person: Can be intimidating and coaches can come off as non-empathetic. I think they care. I think they've often been athlete's most of their life so it's hard to understand how deep the uncomfortable goes. Maybe I'm a skewed perspective? - I want to please my coaches so badly I might overdo it when they push hard. - I'm constantly afraid of being hurt - I came from a gym that was very friendly to newcomers and people without athletic experience. That gym had a consistent "bootcamp" class that made that crowd of folks feel much more comfortable and gave them a good place to grow more confident with their bodies and the movements. We moved into CrossFit classes at our own pace. Bucktown uses a 6-week program that quickly integrates you into regular CrossFit classes and using the barbells. Pairing this with the common coach response of, "You can do it, it's fine, tough it out", I have often left class and cried. I understand their philosophies behind why they do this but the mental stress is more than I want.

Positive experience: Very well equipped gym, has three levels! Only down side is a guest day pass is very expensive. $30 per day! Opt for the week pass if you will be there for a few days, a bit better value at $60 but still the most expensive I’ve encountered in my travels in the USA - even NYC was cheaper!!!

Fantastic experience: This is a nice gym. Very happy with the classes and the equipment. The locker rooms are nice too. I don’t have any complaints.

Fantastic experience: gym is good again!!!

Positive experience: Really clean enironment and up to date machines - just gets a bit crowded after work due to strange building shape. In a perfectionist though so it’s probably not that noticeable to most. Enjoy!!!

Fantastic experience: New equipment, friendly staff, always upgrading the gym. Good place to workout.

Positive experience: Somone made the executive decision to put all the weights on a floor that can't support dropping them . Also, deficit of space and equipment for strength training, mostly for the sake of excess space for classes. The turf area would be redeeming were it not so small. strength/field athletes beware Good cardio equipment of all types Can't speak to the classes

Fantastic experience: This is probably the nicest gym I've been in. Price is good because the classes are free and you have access to other locations. Staff is friendly and play decent music!

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym that I have been a member at so far in Chicago.
