FitNation

Experiencia fantástica: I've been going to this gym for nearly 5 years and have vistited MANY others like the Rec Plex, Lifetime, Anytime, LA Fitness, Amped, Crunch, & a few others. The best way to describe this gym is that its like a Lifetime Gym but without rock climbing, and bar. This gym is always clean and the staff are always amazing which makes the enviorment really friendly. The only updates that this gym could consider is upgrading the machines in general but overall they have everything except an infinite rope pull down machine and any good seated abominal machine (like one that lets you shift the direction your legs face). This gym is top tier in ther area, the LAs nearby smells, the Crunch is always packed regardless of time, the Rec plex is small, in general the other gyms don't even compete. Ryse is a good contender but only if the teenage steriod theme is what your okay with. Lifetime is good but very far and expensive. My last comment would be the hours, the hours before covid were deluxe like till 11, thats a deal breaker for most people and same goes for the weekends so please bring that back.

Experiencia fantástica: Showers are not as nice as they used to be but overall the place is good.

Experiencia fantástica: Probably one of the best gyms in lake county.

Experiencia fantástica: Great local gym, love the customer appreciation days and gifts. Also the in house childcare (Kidnation) is the best!

Experiencia negativa: Great Gym but horrible membership practices as usual. Can't cancel online and when you call in theyll still charge you zero integrity is just commonplace now

Experiencia negativa: Not great

Experiencia fantástica: They are a little pricey but it is a month to month, so you can cancel at any time (not locked into a year contract). You get a lot for the price and there is a lot of space and good amount of free weights and machines. I haven’t even used the pool or hot tub sauna options yet, so there is a lot for your money.

Experiencia positiva: The gym is good with all the machines.

Experiencia fantástica: I love this gym. Very spacious, lots of machines, and friendly staff. The women’s only room is nice-you have cardio equipment, weights and machines in there. (plz add heavier dumbbells the max is 27.5)

Experiencia fantástica: Been to a lot of gyms and health clubs over many years but Fit Nation is definitely a very well maintained gym with good equipment and a great staff .. and the gym has rules … you just can’t come in the gym and be disrespectful to people or the gym .

Experiencia fantástica: Great park district gym, awesome machines, music, staff is very friendly and nice. They also have a special “women only” area which is great. The kid area is awesome and my daughter loves it and always is sad when I’m there to pick her up lol.

Experiencia fantástica: This gym is the best I’ve ever been to! It has a great childcare, with staff that actually interacts and gives your child individual attention. The gym is always clean, has tons of sanitation stations for gym-goers to sanitize the equipment after use, and the locker rooms are clean too. The gym has a women’s fit room, just for women to workout in private with weights, machines, and cardio equipment. They have posing rooms that are individual and lock. There’s also a pool and basketball, martial arts, and physical therapy located in the building. I’ve never been to a better gym and I’ve gone to gyms all over the US. Super friendly for women of all ages, which is so important to me. I couldn’t be more thankful for this gym. Anyone of any age would be safe and comfortable here.

Experiencia positiva: I like that they have a steam room and sauna and 2 hot tubs

Experiencia fantástica: This is an outstanding gym. Highly recommend.

Experiencia negativa: I liked it better when it was Golds Gym!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place for a workout and end workout using steam room and sauna and a cleansing shower

Experiencia negativa: Hours of operations is horrendous

Experiencia fantástica: Fun place to work out in!

Experiencia fantástica: I needed to join a gym... went over to Anytime Fitness in Antioch first (see review on this disaster). It's a little hole in the wall with nothing much to offer, some gym equipment and 2 unisex bathrooms. They wanted $45/mth for a full year upfront and a contract! RIP off!! Next I came here to FitNation in Gurnee... what a difference! There's plenty of room, tons of equipment, a pool, sauna, steam room, huge locker room, free towel service... all that for $55/mth!! And there's no contract!!... it's month to month, and they also offer classes, and child care, for a little extra money (for those who want that). Totally worth the money! HUGE difference for $10 more! So I signed up!

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym!

Experiencia fantástica: The place is always clean and nicely organized. Bathrooms always spotless lean.

Experiencia positiva: Nice place. Overall I think it's great but it's too expensive for me. The pool is nice but it's a little shorter than a regular pool. The sauna and steam room are both great and the locker room is in good condition and clean.

Experiencia positiva: The gym and amenities are awesome! The front desk staff aren’t very friendly, otherwise 5 stars.

Experiencia negativa: Do we get reimbursed for all of the days the pool or hot tub is closed? It's getting to be ridiculous! I joined for those two things alone and there is something wrong too often! Now thinking about switching gyms. This one is starting to be not worth the money since you can't use what you joined for. Come on!!!

Experiencia positiva: I go to Athletico the gym seems nice the pool area the place is clean

Experiencia positiva: Clean gym I like the variety of the equipment. Would be nice if the staff were a bit more nice when they are greeting. Nice to meet people and be courteous of others time when using a machine overall good place to work out.

Experiencia fantástica: Very clean gym. Great staff. Phenomenal selection of equipment.

Experiencia positiva: I have not yet used the facility, but the tour was thorough, and the staff was friendly. I would like there to be weight machines, but lots of classes are offered that I'm looking forward to trying.

Experiencia negativa: Loved this place until they started letting men work in the locker room no warning or otherwise I don't want dual memberships where I need to worry for my teenager or myself

Experiencia fantástica: FitNation is the best gym in the area. I have tried several in my 7 years of working out. The cleanliness, organization, friendliness and efficiency is un beatable. Shoutout to Alex and Cary who are selflessly willing to help in any question or issue that arises. Alex has helped up several times and goes out of his way to deliver exceptional customer service and resolve whatever issue arose. Thank you FitNation staff!

Experiencia positiva: The staff is great. The people who go there to workout, not so much. They cannot seem to throw a towel in the bin, clean up after themselves in the shower or steam room, close a locker when they're done with it, or get off their phones while others are waiting to get on the machine they are not really using. Seriously, what is wrong with people. A little common courtesy and some thoughtfulness towards the staff would go a long way.

Experiencia fantástica: I wish I had joined sooner. I think the price point is completely reasonable considering the type of equipment you have access to, the customer service, the towel service, the amenities (pool, spa, nice spacious locker rooms). People actually put their equipment back and clean up after themselves. Yes, you pay nominal fee for classe and daycare, but it ensures the quality and continuity of both the classes and daycare, while not burdening the median gym goer. The daycare is great and the hours are fantastic. We transferred to here after trying out LA fitness, ESporta, and XSport. Everything was a hassle with these three...nobody had gym etiquette, never put stuff back, equipment falling apart, overcrowded, not clean, broccoli haired teenagers crowded around equipment, late opening their doors for LA and ESporta, and daycares that were abysmal . Don't listen to the randos regarding customer service or men in the locker room. I've had nothing but a pleasant experience since day one at FitNation .Everything is clean and everyone's friendly and they actually say hi when you enter. Never had any issue with staff. They have male and female crew.

Experiencia fantástica: I like working out at FitNation.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place, great group classes!!

Experiencia fantástica: Constantly being kept clean even with hs jocks working out. Lol

Experiencia negativa: Rude staff especially blond women at front desk I’d spend your money with another fitness center

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely the Best fitness facility!! The staff are Top Notch! DuMel is the Best!!

Experiencia fantástica: I love the Fitnation Gurnee location. However, I really missed the Exercise classes at the HuntClub location. Please bring them back.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Fit Nation they have so much to offer! Working out here is great we also love the pool and all the additional amenities such as: women's workout room, classes, basketball

Experiencia positiva: I've been coming to fitnation since September 2022. I really like all of the staff, amenities and group fitness classes. I wish there were more group fitness classes offered in the evenings and on later on the weekends.

Experiencia negativa: Bogus Gym. The people here have poor gym etiquette. I was injured here and the gym didn’t help me at all. They wouldn’t reimburse me for the remainder of the month after the injury. They didn’t care at all, they just made sure they weren’t liable for the hospital bills. Management doesn’t care at all. Most of the older ladies at the front desk are rude. Most of the equipment is old and rusty. If I could give 0 stars I would.

Experiencia positiva: I just joined fitnation. I was referred by a friend, who's already a member. I spoke with staff, prior to signing up. In email I was advised that there was a discount for 1st responders. When I arrived to sign up, I was told there was not. It was a little frustrating to have mixed messages. The gym itself seems very well set up. There is an abundance of equipment, plenty of amenities as well. The gym space is large, with plenty of cardio equipment. I do think the price for a membership is a bit high. I'll try the gym out for a month, and see how I like it. I'm also a member at xsport, which is significantly cheaper. Normally I wouldn't pay the extra price for fitnation. However, they are about ten full minutes closer for me than xsport. So far fitnation is a solid 3 stars. Potentially 4. I will update my review after testing the facility for a few weeks.

Experiencia fantástica: I finally found a club that is clean, open and expansive with working machines and lots of good reviews. It has everything you should expect in a quality health club, including a pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, clean locker rooms and even drink vending machines. They even have a senior citizen discount, which several of the store front places do not. The front desk area is almost as big as some of these storefront places. They do provide towels and have clean showers . Please tap on the thumbs up and follow me with my many reviews.

Experiencia fantástica: Always clean, not too noisy, sauna, steam sauna, spacious hot tub, plenty of machines, broken machines get fixed in timely manner, lots of water bottle fillers, plenty of sanitization wipes, friendly staff, friendly people working out... overall worth the price! (Just wish they were open later on weekends)

Experiencia negativa: Customer service seems to be non-existent at this establishment. The staff should be replaced with workers who actually care to be employed at a gym. I’m appalled at their treatment towards customers. Also, some of their equipment is rusty and should be replaced to avoid injuries. Management should really look into all of these issues before losing more customers and penitential customers. The truth spreads quickly within our community, which is why our reviews are so important to share.

Experiencia positiva: The facility is nice and spacious but the membership price is high for no reason. If you want to participate in any of the classes you have to pay $12 more on top of what you’re already paying which is ridiculous, $55 a month and we cant even get a couple classes a month for free? On top of that there are no guest passes and if you bring a guest they have to pay $15 for a pass. So you really gotta ask yourself what exactly are you paying for? I would happily pay $55 a month if it came with more amenities and perks but it doesn’t.

Experiencia positiva: Good gym. Clean facility and things are mostly kept up. For the price we pay, 55 a month, the equipment is getting kinda dated. My local community center has top of the line 2021 equipment at 12 bucks a months. You can actually see the weight numbers on all their machines; many at fit nation are so old all the numbers are wore off. I'm Curious how gurnee park district utilizes our membership money.

Experiencia fantástica: This is a great gym. Staff is friendly and polite. Usually good quality basketball games in the evening, but not too high intensity. The equipment is new and nice. Classes are diverse and difficult. Locker rooms are clean. It's a good place to be a member.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice place to work out at your own time and level

Experiencia positiva: Offers weight systems and free weights plus group fitness.

Experiencia negativa: I'm changing my review for fit nation since I just found out that it's not kid friendly gym. You can't even go and shoot some basketball with kids here unless you pay a trainer. Not goid

Experiencia negativa: Where do i even start? After being new to the area we stopped by and signed our 7 year up for swim lessons this summer. They charged us the fee, asked us to pick a day based on schedules to show up to class and we were good to go. Come Wednesday (first class) she isn't on the roster but they went ahead and let her participate. Fast forward a day and I get a wonderful voicemail saying that the classes are "overbooked", they are refunding the fees and she is effectively kicked out of the class. Let's start with there was no option for a different day, no problem solving at all, just a "you can't do it". I of course asked for a call back, and of course, haven't received one. If this is the level of customer service that FitNation provides i worry about the gym. I understand issues come up, training isn't complete and hiring a staff is tough right now....but they aren't the ones that have to tell a 7 year old that they can't participate in the program and no alternative was provided, ie. later in the summer. Fortunately we found a place in Libertyville that she will start lessons at....just really disappointed in FitNation and the Gurnee Park District as that level of service reflects an organization that doesn't care, which seems to go against the intent of the group. Oh well, i guess i'll just take my money elsewhere and avoid anything that the Gurnee Park District puts in place.

Experiencia negativa: I cancelled my membership on jun. The person I spoke through the phone told me that I would still have the rest of the month paid if I wanted to join. All was fine till I realized I’ve been charged for the last 3 months. Until now I’ve never got a cancellation email.

Experiencia fantástica: Love working out here. Especially that you have a trainer helping you achieve your goals. I strongly recommend it

Experiencia fantástica: Fitnation is my Second Home and I love all the group excercise classes

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym, 5 stars all the way.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this gym! The workouts are always a good challenge and the coaching staff is energetic and so informative.

Experiencia fantástica: Good place Better than ryse gym

Experiencia fantástica: Nice gym a lot of equipment!

Experiencia fantástica: I have always been scared to go to the gym because I have always been on the heavier side but here I feel comfortable. I don’t feel like I’m getting judged. I feel like everyone there is helpful and supportive.

Experiencia fantástica: The minute I signed up and took my first class, trainers and other participants were so friendly and encouraging me even when I couldn’t do much of the workouts. Now I’ve been a member for going on three months and I love it.

Experiencia fantástica: I rejoined FitNation just about a month ago after a 2 year hiatus. That hiatus put 30 pounds on my frame and now, since March 27 and a month at FitNation I am down 20 of those pounds. FitNation is clean, the staff accommodating and the equipment - awesome!

Experiencia fantástica: Over the past few month of going she’s definitely held me accountable for when I miss class or when I don’t push myself. I leave every class in pain but feeling great mentally.

Experiencia fantástica: The FitNation facility is impeccable. In spending over an hour 6 days a week watching the care taken by the staff from maintaining the equipment, lighting, towel service and cleaning everywhere, I am thankful to have became a member. I know it's difficult for many to make it a habit to of working on our physical being, the recognition and greetings by the front desk staff makes one feel like this is the place you belong. When you get the call to join a facility, to address your physical needs, the cost value comparison of FitNation is money well spent. Thanks for better health, physically and mentally.

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym! Very huge and lots of equipment!

Experiencia positiva: Nice gym a lot of equipment! Down size is no family plan makes it very expensive if you have children that would like to use the club!

Experiencia fantástica: I love it! Great place to work out.

Experiencia positiva: The Precor treadmills have all been needing repair for months. Some have been inoperable since July! There’s only one of the twelve that fully functional.

Experiencia fantástica: Were not clear about the kids memberships , was kinda of a waste of time. My kid has gone alone paying the daily pass , but when I tried to get him a membership he needed and adult to go with him. Not sure how that works but ‍♀️

Experiencia fantástica: It was my first time back since the pandemic started and I really appreciate the practices in place for maintaining a clean workout area and social distancing. Everyone followed the rules and it felt very safe. Plan to try and make more time again to workout safely.

Experiencia fantástica: Bonnie, the Hydrofit instructor for aquartics on Mondays and Tuesdays ROCKS! Her class is a WORKOUT from 9-10 with little downtime in between exercises. That down time is filled with jogging in place. I appreciate her enmcouragement and options for folks with limited mobility. Thank you, Bonnie!

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym! Clean. Equipment is up to date. And Pedro the gym owner is very accommodating. Thumbs up!

Experiencia fantástica: Everything is good so far, a part from the schedule, the gym should close at a much later time. 1 am for example or better, open 24 hours.

Experiencia fantástica: 100% back open. Great environment, great equipment no excuses get there and get right.

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym!. Thumbs up!

Experiencia fantástica: Athletico is my destination. The facility is nice. Physical distancing is practiced. Friendly staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place. Nice and clean...doing a great job during these tough times!

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym ever !

Experiencia positiva: The gym I use, very nice and respectful

Experiencia negativa: Year long contracts only. Besides over priced 10 and single day pass.

Experiencia negativa: Masks are required. In lake county business decades, if they going to require masks or not.

Experiencia positiva: Love the staff + environment is great! Would give it 5 stars if it was open till 9 on Fridays and hours were longer on the weekend!

Experiencia positiva: Front desk staff is a huge hit or miss. Daycare staff is super nice and gym is always clean and towels stocked

Experiencia negativa: Mask mandate is a joke! Numerous people don’t even wear them at all (chin diapers- not covering their nose or mouth) or properly (nosers- don’t cover their nose). It would be nice if the staff actually enforced this… it’s maddening! Members should be at the very least fined for each violation or failing that, kicked out/banned. We are in the middle of a public health crisis folks! I still will continue to wear one because I actually care about protecting myself and others but it’s clear most people that go here don’t. If I continue to see this blatant disregard for public health though I’m gone.

Experiencia fantástica: I've only been to the Nation's Drive facility and it's wonderful! The front desk is super helpful and very pleasant. They always wish you a great workout when you arrive, and they send off with a "Have a nice day", when you leave. Always! The facility is very clean, and I see the staff constantly vacuuming, cleaning, and going the extra distance to keep up with covid requirements so that the place is safe for all guests. All the machines are in good condition and I particularly love the two private work out rooms within the women's locker room. 5 stars, Fitnation!

Experiencia fantástica: I've been a member since the facility opened as Gold's back in 1998-1999. The Gurnee Park district is doing a fantastic job keeping everyone safe. Every member is issued a spray bottle and. Must keep a distance of 6ft. In addition to masks/ face coverings

Experiencia fantástica: Love this gym! There is almost always available equipment and the staff are nice for the most part. Also, the other members aren't very annoying either.

Experiencia fantástica: This gym is covid-19 prep, the staff is awesome, and at this moment of the review you have the option to take off your mask while you workout. They have everything for everyone, just check it out for yourself.

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff, awesome equipment, great, classes and instructors!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent environment for workout. Very economical as well.

Experiencia positiva: Word class facility

Experiencia fantástica: Great work out place

Experiencia positiva: I helped someone with his vending machines. I was working with an owner of the vending machines. No problems with them.

Experiencia negativa: Just FYI - I called the main office regarding a membership question. Whoever I spoke to was not at all courteous, actually asked me "Are you done?" like I was a little kid. Horrible customer service from this team.

Experiencia fantástica: This gym is covid-19 prep, the staff is awesome, and at this moment of the review you have the option to take off your mask while you workout. They have everything for everyone, just check it out for yourself.

Experiencia negativa: The facility is huge and has alot to offer, indoor pool, plenty of machines and a wide variety of classes. The reason for my rating is the customer service. I had every intention of joining this gym but was floored at how I was treated by the staff. The person at the front desk barely acknowledged my presence and had a bad habit of speaking with his hands when I asked where things were. I had to ask because he offered NO information about where to go, location of classes, bathrooms, etc (did I mention this was my first time visiting?) He also appeared busy, which confused me because there was no line. I asked to speak to someone regarding membership....after waiting several minutes for the sales rep to finish she seemed to rush me through the process and did not once offer a tour of the facility, which surprised me since I was obviously a guest. The impression I got was, she either was'nt interested in gaining a member or doubted my intent to join. Again the facility in itself was impressive but the customer service skills were severely lacking.

Experiencia fantástica: I absolutely love this Gym. I switched over a year ago & couldn't be any happier. Best Gym in all of Lake County.

Experiencia fantástica: For the pool the locker room and observation room are clean and the families are a part of that success. The swim instructors are all awesome and care about your child and their safety. Great facilities, great rates too.

Experiencia fantástica: Clean and up to date facilities. Classes and instructors are great.

Experiencia fantástica: Great prices, friendly staff, and the equipment was clean!!
