Great gym in the Lakeview area. Plenty of equipment and a very welcoming owner.

Walked in to ask about a membership. There was no one at the desk and the worker decided it was more aprioriate to yell across a tiny gym. I could tell it was not the place for me.

Great little gym. A bit cramped but has all the equipment. Special mention must be made of the chest press machine, which allows for a really deep stretch. The $10 drop-in fee is great for visitors.

Visited the city for a few days and found this gym with 1 day pass for 10$ in cash.Paid 20$ because the worker there did not have change to give back and agreed I’ll be back for another workout. Went back the next day and asked for my 10$ back since I couldn’t workout again, but the worker said he cannot authorize a refund. Waited for the manager and he said he had no change and the network was down and cannot refund my credit card. He did not seem frank.I feel like I was robbed. Would not recommend.

Go to check out other gyms before wasting your money on a tiny gym and a owner who doesn’t want to put in the time to accommodate for his failure to have back ups.

Jerry runs a great local gym - never too crowded and has all of the machines and floor space to get a good workout in. If you are looking for a gym that is affordable, welcoming, and clean, this is the spot!

Was visiting nearby and this gym allowed me to get some day passes for a reasonable price. It's small, but they've got a LOT packed in, from cardio equipment to free weights to weight machines. VERY clean and organized. The equipment is all in very good condition! Staff is friendly and helpful. LOVE this place!

There is a fantastic vibe and energy at the Number One Gym. The front desk people greet you with a smile and know your name as you sign in. The trainers are professional, outstanding and encouraging.

I was super excited about the reviews for this gym. It looks like most people have different experiences than I did.I did a couple months here and had to pay month to month so it was ~$70 a month, though the other plans might be a bit cheaper. The equipment was really old. For that much money (or close to it), you could go to one of the Chicago Athletic Clubs or another gym with better equipment and more space.The old equipment has a couple other consequences. The owner watches everyone like a hawk making sure everyone is gentle with his equipment, which I understand to an extent and while being gentle and controlled is important, with more serious lifters and heavier weights you’re bound to have a weight come down a little harder and don’t deserve to be literally yelled at for it. On a near daily basis, you’ll see the owner move around the room watching people and scolding them for how they treat his weights. I don’t want to hear anything about how it’s more about ‘watching out for the gym-goers and their form’ - it’s an excuse for him to not have to shell out more money on equipment. It might be a good idea for the ownership team to invest in some weights (maybe the rubber coated ones..?) and other equipment that feels higher quality so that they don’t have to scold patrons.Another note - Fox News is on every single night. This feels really gross in a city as progressive as ours and a neighborhood as gay as ours…Overall it’s not the worst experience I’ve ever had. But for the money, you can find better. I’d take your money and support a friendlier place where you aren’t watched like a hawk and flooded with alt-right propaganda each night.
