Lincoln Square Athletic Club

Fantastic experience: When searching for a gym, I was worried LSAC would be a bit too...well...gymmy, but I was surprised to see the members come from a wide variety of backgrounds, the trainers are nothing but encouraging and there are a range of classes for all fitness levels. The gym is always clean, has plenty of machines and the locker rooms are roomy. Unless you want a sceney place to scope out a bunch o' hot bods and show off your musculature, LSAC is fantastic place to get in shape!

Fantastic experience: Oh LSAC how I love thee! I enjoy the number of classes offered here and they keep adding on with the demand. I also like the cardio quipment and how they have personal tv's mounted on them. The tv's have cable which is nice because I don't have cable and can catch up on my shows while working out at the same time. The spin studio is really nice. If you're interested in trying spin for the first time go to one of Michael's classes he's great. I'm also in love with Stephanie's Friday night Zumba classes. It's Zumba but not it's more of cardio dance class with Zumba moves. It's the perfect way to start off the weekend! The facility itself is awesome. The owners of Chicago Athletic Club have done a great job of decorating the clubs. One nice thing is the lockers have built in locks that you program with your own code. Which means you never have to worry about forgetting your lock.

Fantastic experience: LSAC has been a godsend to the neighborhood. I rarely make it upstairs to use the equipment and weights because the group fitness options are OUT OF THIS WORLD! Spinning with Brady, Zumba with Miguel and Hip-Hop with Viola are all so much fun you'll forget you're even working out. Well…maybe not. (Don't forget: There's a swimming pool across the street with its own locker room!)

Fantastic experience: I feel very comfortable working out here, going to the steamroom, and showering. There are lots of towels, people are polite, and there are usually machines available to work out any body part. It is the best gym experience I have ever had.

Fantastic experience: I enjoy taking fitness classes, which is why I joined this gym and I LOVE it!! LSAC offers a wide variety of quality classes....Zumba, cardio dance, cardio sculpt, muscle toning, core, turbo kick, pilates, spinning, boxing, 10 different kinds of yoga classes, you name it! The great thing is that there are no extra fees for the classes. You can take as many as you want whenever you want. The classes are taught by great instructors-they know their stuff and are very energetic and motivating. Yes, the membership fee is a bit on the pricey side, but since I take a good amount of classes (about 3-4) a week, it's totally worth it. In addition, the gym and locker rooms are always clean and there was never a moment where I would have to wait for a machine. I love the rain showers and glass tile in the locker rooms; the lockers with the built-in locks are a plus. The steam room I have yet to try, the sauna not too interested in. Also, the staff if very helpful and friendly.

Fantastic experience: the best chain of gyms in chicago is CAC

Fantastic experience: I was a member here for a little over a year and absolutely loved it, only leaving when my new office came complete with a gym. The classes were always excellent (I highly recommend Spinning with Brady or Suzanne), the facilities were always clean, and I rarely had to wait for a piece of equipment. It's not the largest gym, so they don't quite have everything, but there was more than enough cardio equipment and free weights to keep everyone happy, no matter your fitness goals. The pool is a huge plus, rarely crowded and always a great temperature. If you're in the area and seeking a gym, LSAC really is a fantastic choice.

Fantastic experience: Great classes and I love the swimming class!

Fantastic experience: Great club. Excellent selection of classes.

Positive experience: This is a clean neighborhood gym with a nice pool. Staff are polite. Guests seem mostly chill. The studio space is good for yoga and floor exercises. Plenty of equipments and weights. Pool length is 25 yards which seems the biggest here outside of university pools. Aesthetically this place is pleasant. Vibe feels comfortable for men and women. Main drawbacks are group exercise offering is lacking. Yoga is substandard compared to studios and there is not a single prenatal class. Barre classes are only weekday mornings. Also pool now close at 8 or 9 and since lane reservations are hourly if you sign up for last hour you get a short session as they make you get out of pool 15 minutes before closing. Overall this place seems reasonably convenient as an all purpose gym for pool and equipments. I will look elsewhere for yoga and group fitness classes.

Fantastic experience: Love it. Just wish they were open later

Fantastic experience: Always clean, everything works, good equipment, locker room is always stocked, staff is friendly. I could go on an on, it's a great gym and I have no complaints.

Fantastic experience: Great neighborhood gym. Staff are friendly and helpful. There is a good selection of equipment and rarely any lines. The steam room and sauna are top notch as well. All covid guidelines are followed as well by patrons and staff - I’ve been coming on a regular basis since before 2020 and have never seen someone working out without a mask on. The wifi is very strong.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym. After reading past comments I was worried about signing a 12 month agreement, but once I got a tour of the gym and talked to Megan about the policies in place for Covid, I felt so much better. Megan was very attentive to all of my questions and was very thorough to explain the process of signing up. The classes are included in your subscription and they are amazing; you sign up virtually on the app. The teachers are very knowledgeable and want everyone to have a good/quality workout. They also give pointers and advice for those who are just starting in class, whether it’s on weight size or height for a bike in the spin class. I live about 12 minutes from the gym and walk everyday. It’s very accessible and clean. There are wash clothes stationed around the gym with hand sanitizer and cleaning product to spray down equipment before and after use. They have a cleaning crew come around and refill the hand sanitizer or the cleaning product once about every 45 minutes. They also have air purifiers and have the cleaning crew go to each room after a class and fog the room. They also have 6ft placements of the bikes or on the floors in the studios. A mask is required and I have seen them enforcing this rule. The staff at the front desk are always so nice and helpful! 10/10 recommend.

Fantastic experience: Nice, clean and reasonably priced

Fantastic experience: Great staff, clean facilities, reopening in a good safe way, good classes. Great pool and showers/locker rooms.

Fantastic experience: The staff here is outstanding. They're taking extreme precaution with COVID, every time I've gone I've felt safe. Mariana is always available for questions or concerns and she got me a great deal on my membership! Highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: Ive been a member since they opened. It's always clean, the cleaning staff seem to never leave. It gets a little crowded during peak times but you can still wiggle your way into a space. The pool across the street is nice as well. I can't speak to the group classes outside of yoga and pilates but they seem very popular.

Fantastic experience: A good mix of equipment and very helpful staff. During busy hours (right after work) you may need to wait for some of the weight machines but turnover is generally pretty quick. I’ve never had to wait for a treadmill or bike. Classes are good and it’s pretty easy to jump in as a newbie

Fantastic experience: Great club all around!

Fantastic experience: I love this place! I’ve been a member for a year and the staff is so friendly and the facility is one of the nicest gyms I’ve been to (while having affordable rates). My personal trainer, Gaby, is the best! She’s so fun to work with, scheduling is easy, and I love her training/training philosophy. I had a billing question and Mariana was extremely friendly and explained everything so well. The problem I had turned out much much better.

Fantastic experience: Good gym. Clean, spacious, great location. Friendly staff. Other customers have been courteous so far.

Fantastic experience: Very clean facility/clean locker rooms. Group classes can get a little crowded during peak hours but there is always space on the cardio machines. Highly recommend small group training sessions. Egle is a great personal trainer if you are looking to learn about weight training or interested to learn more about running. Another selling point for me was the steam room and sauna if you want to relax after your workout.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to LSAC for about 6 months and it’s perfect for what I want in a gym. They have cardio equipment, weights, classes, and a sauna and a steam room! I’ve been to gyms with more and less amenities and this place has it just right for what I actually use. Their personal trainers are phenomenal too! I’ve been seeing Andrea about once a week for a few months and I’ve gotten so much more confident with my workout routines and physical health in general.

Fantastic experience: I love the pool! So clean. I feel safe at LSAC and my trainer, Egle, is amazing! So very glad to be a member!

Fantastic experience: Great place! I’ve recommended it to many of my friends.

Fantastic experience: Great neighborhood gym; clean, lots of equipment, and a fairly diverse class schedule.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym. It's beautiful, has an incredible variety of classes, and I always feel at home here.

Fantastic experience: We love the kids swimming lessons here. They seem much friendlier the other locations. Our son is definitely less stressed and enjoys the instructors much better.

Fantastic experience: Super clean, friendly staff, GREAT classes (which is why I joined), new machines. I never have trouble getting to the weights or machines, and I normally go around 6pm on weekdays.

Fantastic experience: Great location and a lot of classes to choose from.

Fantastic experience: Great classes and lots of cardio equipment

Fantastic experience: Great pool

Fantastic experience: This is really a great gym to work out at...it smells great and they really take pride in their members a must if you are in the area, you will not be disappoint...
