I wanted to like this place. They have a basketball court, great employees and a friendly gym.
But I've been a member of 8 gyms since my 20s, and I've never found a gym that considers it acceptable to have malfunctioning cardio machines.
The Roos has four treadmills. At first, I wondered why no one would use them. As I started training for a 10k, I realized that not a single one of the treadmills was digitally functional- the led lights were out on every single one of them to the point that you couldn't read a single tracker; calories, distance traveled etc.
I've since spoken with and realize that they have no date where they are expected to get new treadmills.
Unfortunately, I'll have to find another gym because at 26 dollars a month for residents, functioning treadmills (or at least one or two???) should be a given. This is the state of the gym in 2024. If they fix these, it could be a great gym, but if you're missing "B" in the "A B C" of a proper gym, it's not a complete gym yet.

They don’t allow full court basketball in the gym anymore. They keep one of the rims up just in case. Even if there are exactly ten people who all agree they want to run, no bueno. They also prefer if you don’t run fulls on the side rims. No pay to play, you buy a membership or you aren’t getting in. Don’t understand why they built a walking path outside when one already exist outside. They should’ve taken that money and expanded the gym because now if you do decide to come for basketball, half the court is for other activities. You get 3 rims for a bunch of people. That sounds fair.

I think it's great that staff members can order food delivery and expect good service but a driver can't simply use the restroom after dropping off their food because the driver isn't a "member". Your delivery drivers appreciate your kindness so much. Strongly Consider making a change. Spoken on behalf of all Chicago market drivers.

DONT COME HER UNLESS YOU ARE WHITE!!! walked in at 5 am and i was asked for 3 forms of address "verification" from the black man at the front so inappropriate considering he didn't ask the 2 clearly white caucasian walk-in's for any forms of ID FOR PAYMENT. clearly they are trying to create a racist and nationalist divide ONLY allowing white and black people clearly. I literally showed the front deskman my lease and Comed billl, AND EMPLOYMENT LETTER and he was so rude. gym is tiny and there was TOO many people for 5 am. LIKE BE MORE RACIST AND BIAS TO OTHER RACES PLEASE!

Love this recreation center! If you’re a resident, it’s about the same price as planet fitness, or has a great gym and pretty solid set up of weights and cardio equipment. The skate park and outdoor workout area are really cool as well, and I love the massive park district space.

Best gym for its price and for what it has. Has all the basic lifting and cardio machines you need. Very nice basketball court also.

My son and I made the switch from Planet Fitness to the Roos, which is closer to our home.It's small, but when doing warm-up stretches, you can take the mat into the gym and spread out.It's clean, cheerful. Clean up after using the equipment. And wave at the little girls in the ballet class, if you go on Saturday mornings. There are lockers available as well. All in all, a good workout in a clean facility.

The machines are too close together and facing the opposite direction of the tv, makes no sense.
