Pretty solid gym, lots of room to try all the machines. The team there has been friendly to me. I think it’s important to be graceful to them because it’s a small staff. Only thing to note is, the cleaning could be a bit improved, I say that graciously. Anyway the smoothie bar is cool and the calisthenics space is always available.

PLEASE READ. Scam. Extra Fees NOT AS CHEAP as advertisedYou’ll get charged a bunch of extra fees. Can’t leave without getting charged. They never tell you this or make it seem like you don’t have to. Make sure you read all fine print and do not just listen to what is said.I literally went in and asked what we had to do to cancel and was told “turn in your fob and thats it. You will stop being billed and your account will be closed at the end of the month” Until I was billed out of nowhere. Luckily its only $125 to cancel so not even worth my time to argue.SCAM.Seeing the replys to the negative comments, kinda proves everyones points. And shows how they run their business.

Came in to sign up for a membership. Nobody was at the desk so I walked around looking to see who I could talk to about signing up. An employee came out of nowhere thinking that I was trying to get on for free. Tried to talk to him about a membership but he had a very “get out” attitude.

This gym charges too much for what it’s worth . You can find way better deals elsewhere

I registered to the gym for a month, to try it out. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of equipments and ambiance. In another gym where I used to be a member of (outside Illinois), it was always crowded , and unorganised. Staff is welcoming, good equipment (I don t have to wait to use an equipment), good community of members and clean facility which is what I look for as a customer.I am currently considering to extend my membership (hoping for a good rate I heard they run promotions from time to time, fingers crossed there will be one before my month ends).I also like the fact there is a juice bar where I can quickly grab my protein shake before walking out. I definitely recommend to try both services.

I have been a member for more than 8 years. I have always enjoyed my time spent at the club so much that I usually work out twice a day. The new club on North ave in Oak Park is state of the art. There is new equipment and plenty of space between machines to comply with covid protocols. Lynn and Don are great club managers who are both Very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to any concerns you may have. I love the juice bar!!! Club is well ventilated, always clean with cleaning supplies located near every workout area. It is number ONE on my list of gyms to attend. GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!! YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH THIS ONE!

I like this gym!! My fiancé and I have been going for two years now! This gym is well cared for and they listen to your concerns. There’s usually not a huge crowd which I also like because it’s limited capacity. You can only get in with a member key fob and I feel very safe. Also some of the people that work out here are some of my favorite people I’ve interacted with. I’m naturally introverted so that’s a huge plus for me. Their smoothie bar is absolutely fire, sooo good. If something isn’t working right or missing it’s usually replaced or working again the very next day. I’ve started bringing in guests because I’ve enjoyed the environment so much. This place deserves none of the hate it’s gotten in the reviews. My one recommendation is that Bodyworx should have a member pet night out in the parking lot one of these beautiful fall nights! I love Lynn’s dog popcorn so cute!

Very unprofessional business practice. Membership is ridiculous for a non 24 hour gym.. $80 startup fee and a annual maintenance fee of $100.00. And you only have access to certain areas of the gym. And equipment look very generic. I was there on a Monday evening. I counted like eight people in the whole gym. Which really isn't bad. I don't like crowded gym. It just tell you something is wrong. The staff is very arrogant and offensive when you ask hard question.

((((((never saw an establishment gets so belligerent over a review you can't handle criticism))))))) NEVER SEEN A BEWARE!!!!! Place is a JOKE, I was set to join until they said it's a $80 start up /enrollment fee. what a scam and if you cancel at anytime there is a $150 fee. This is the worst gym I have ever seen so far. They run a fraud company. They have tons of hidden charges that they will never let you know. They will only advertise $20.22 charges but additionally you will be charged annually for maintenance, cancellation and many more, so your total gym fees will be like $200 or so. They have tons of hidden policies and when you ask them about it once you are cheated they will have no answer but to say “you will have to go to court for that”.Their equipments are old and you will definitely get a better gym at a good deal somewhere else.

This gym was a decent facility to use during the pandemic because they are rarely busy. However, after a few months of steady attendance, I grew to regret my decision of joining this gym. I knew something wasn't right when the manager, Lynn ran through all the random fees they have while I was signing up. However, I bit the bullet and joined anyway because my husband was a member.-God forbid you forget your key fob, they will make it very difficult to get in because there isn't a consistent person working during the open hours. I accidentally forgot my fob and Lynne was very rude when I called about the situation to try to get in. This gym seems to be ran by people who want to own a business, but don't want to really do the work that it takes to run a gym AND provide quality customer service.-They initially advertised as a 24 hour gym, however, they close at 9pm during the week and 5pm on weekends.-Men and women share a small locker room, which is rarely cleaned and most of the locker doors are broken.-They have a smoothie/sandwich cafe that is open during the day, but the hours are very unpredictable, depending on when the employees want to work. This cafe is actually the best part of the gym because the food is really good, but again, good luck trying to get someone to actually work to make something.-I have belonged to several gyms and have never seen employees walk around and tell their patrons what to do with the equipment. NEVER. People might forget to put weights up, or drop them if they're heavy. IT'S A GYM. Don't even think about laying a jacket down in the gym area.-Oh and they have so many fees if you decide you want to cancel which I haven't experienced at previous gyms that I have been a member of. Why do you need a $150 cancellation fee for a gym membership with no contract??? That seems like a contract to me.BUYER BEWARE: You get what you pay for.Update based on the business's response: Clearly the response below is a specific representation and further emphasizes the lack of quality customer service and management's inability to receive and professionally respond to constructive feedback. I won't waste any more time refuting the response line by line, but my main piece of advice would be to really go through the contract and fees with a fine tooth comb before you join. Don't just look at the low monthly dues because you will end up paying in the end. There are several other reviews below that mention concerns with the contract and fees.Both my husband and I had separate concerns that we wanted to share, but that doesn't make us bullies. This forum is meant for users to share their honest thoughts, so I left a constructive review. I have never violated any of the gym policies, so that statement simply untrue along with other statements in the response. My favorite sandwich is actually the chicken on the torta bread. Never had the steak. Thanks for the extra promo towards my review! It’s clear they are lacking in customer service but also in understanding how consumers utilize Google reviews.

I have been coming to Bodyworx since March of this year 2021. I have had a great experience. Before coming here I was a member at planet fitness for 3 years but needed a change. It was always over crowded. But here it never gets too crowded which is great! I like that they have an oxygen bar, you can order smoothies and food. I will eventually try one. The manager Lynn is super nice. Everytime I call she answers my questions and concerns politely. She was very informative about the oxygen bar. When I had an issue with the restroom it was taken care of quickly. Only thing that needs to happen is getting new equipment hence the 4 stars. But just having a gym that is not crowded, has great staff and in a convenient location is 5 stars.

The gym is big, clean and has all of the machines and free weights you need to hit a good workout. The staff is friendly and their protein shakes and smoothies are amazing. Some of the machines could stand to have their cables oiled up and some of the dumbbells' need to be replaced but for the price per month you definitely get more than you pay for.
