Chicago Barbell Compound - #1 Workout Gym

Fantastic experience: The best

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a cookie cutter gym that wipes your tears between sets, this is not the place for you. Long live the compound.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Chicago, hands down! This gym has all the weights you need. The clientele is also very friendly and accepting, so whether a you are beginner, intermediate, or well-seasoned lifter, there is a high level of support, unlike at some commercial gyms. People will also walk up to you and start a conversation. Overall, great place to train!

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym. I always get a great workout at all of their classes, and the instructors constantly push you to reach your maximum potential. I cannot say enough great things about this gym. The staff is super, and they are also very involved in the community.

Fantastic experience: Holly Molly first workout! And let me tell you this is not a ordinary gym this is a hard core gym ! Definitely love this gym old style really cool

Fantastic experience: Hardcore!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality This is a fantastic gym. I’m an early bird, so having 24/7 access is a great plus. Getting to the gym early in the morning and having all the equipment I need is great way to start the day.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym! No BS! Straight up hardcore gym for serious athletes and beginners.

Fantastic experience: Every size weigh

Fantastic experience: Haven’t been here for a while, place changed a lot for the better. Place for real training it’s not planet fitness.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the Chicagoland area!

Fantastic experience: I love everything the Chicago Barbell Compound represent. From the second you walk in, you know you're going to have to turn it up a level. Then you start to realize that you're surrounded by record breaking powerlifters and Mr. Olympia level bodybuilders and feel that there's no way you can go back to a commercial gym. Everyone is so nice too that you can pick their brains and change a few things about your technique that can help you increase your gains. This gym lives up to its reputation and you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: As a strongman competitor this gym is great, one of the best in the area for strength athletes

Fantastic experience: Has everything you need and the doors are always open. Signing up and cancelling is easy because the owners run an honest business. They never nickel and dime you over cancellation dates which I really appreciate when you compare it to how other gyms force you into unfair contracts.

Fantastic experience: Best of school gym. Tons of equipment and machines. Friendly atmosphere. Cross fit right next store by same owner. Owner was great to talk too and super knowledgeable of fitness and training. I was in for the week and will only go there when I return to Chicago.

Fantastic experience: Come here if you want to lift!

Fantastic experience: This gym is a safe haven from all the madness out there!

Fantastic experience: Easily the best gym in Chicago if you are looking for a serious experienced gym.

Fantastic experience: Very affordable barbell club, great community

Fantastic experience: Excellent hard core gym CONCENTRATION & FOCUS

Fantastic experience: This is a great hard core gym. And about to expand the gym again and open up another room. If you are looking for a gym that has great equipment and atmosphere look no further.

Fantastic experience: This is the perfect place to workout at. It has everything you need and the owners are great

Fantastic experience: I had a rather rigorous workout. No other gym compares to this place. It's like stepping into the strongman's tent at the circus freakshow, they have old and new machines alike, and every one is massive and effective at what it does.

Fantastic experience: Good

Fantastic experience: No hex plates

Fantastic experience: Love the community atmosphere in this gym. Lots of speciality bars (safety squat, cambered, football, duffalo, texas squat, etc) for people wanting to change up their training.

Fantastic experience: While in town for NPC Jr nationals we were looking for a gym to get a workout in. The barbell compound was suggested by a friend and it was the best suggestion we could've received. If you are in the Chicago area and want a gym you can train in and bang some weights like the greats always trained in this is the gym for you. Upstanding people and an awesome environment, I will be returning every time I am in Chicago to train.

Fantastic experience: Love all the free weights and the atmosphere is great.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with amazing people. We need more places like this. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: This facility is the grittiest in Chicago hands down! Raw, aggressive, but also a place where people work together to get stronger as athletes and human beings.

Fantastic experience: Lawrence has awesome trainers and I would recommend every athlete to join Chicago Barbell Compound. They are a true hardcore gym that cares.

Fantastic experience: Probably the best gym in Chicago, if you live on the north side and aren't training here you are doing yourself a disservice and leaving gains on the table. The atmosphere, the people, their mindset towards training, and the community they've built is unmatched.

Fantastic experience: Place is now Chicago Style Fitness

Fantastic experience: 24/7 access makes this place great for any schedule. Lots of great equipment. Definitely worth dropping in to check this place out.

Fantastic experience: A no nonsense gym with great equipment, 24 hour access, and a supportive community of lifters.

Fantastic experience: Authentic and real. Atmosphere here is incredible!!!

Fantastic experience: This place is 10x better with the new management. The place is clean and well organized with some of the best equipment. Most hard core gym in the midwest.

Fantastic experience: Hard core

Fantastic experience: Literally one of my favorite gyms in the country. And I've been to the east and west coast Mecca, armbrust pro gym, destination Dallas and more- and this gym just cuts into your soul and makes you push weight. Shout out to he owner Matt for bein a cool ass dude and always hooking it up when I'm in town competing!!

Fantastic experience: Can't wait to tear this place up some day! Personally have not been to your facility YET but have had some of your BIG BOYS come down to Miami during Bodybuilding Nationals week and they were the real deal! Much love to our HARDCORE community from your IRON FAMILY down here in Miami.
