Logan Square Fitness
Reviews
I've been a member of wicker park fitness for some time now. I was so excited that Logan square fitness(the sister of my gym) opened because it's MUCH closer to my house. Logan square fitness is undeniably nicer than the wicker location. all of the machines are brand new, it doesn't smell bad, and the bathrooms are so nice. all of the staff is super nice, and about the space issue, Dana, I always use the space near the captains chair and elliptical (there's ample space to spread out) I haven't taken a class here yet, but I'd really like to. I definitely recommend this gym! :)
I recently joined this gym because it's so close to my apartment it would be stupid not to. Super convenient location aside, this gym treats it's women members horribly! First things first, the room for classes is TINY and alarmingly understocked AKA no 5 lb weights (inexcusable that they weren't there on the day the gym opened), no blocks or props for yoga classes. They don't even have a place for their yoga mats! They are just in a pile on the floor, making them unnecessarily dirty and unappealing to use. There is also no place to stretch and I constantly see people struggling to find little corners of the space to stretch. I know it's a small and new gym, but come on! These things are obviously NOT OK and seem to be particularly inconvenient to people of the female variety. I will continue to go here because, as I mentioned, it's super close (they also make you pay the yearly fee up front so there's that), BUT if I were a woman considering joining this gym now I would definitely wait until better facilities for all members were made available.
