    Midtown Athletic Club is truly more than just a fitness club--it's a community. From the moment you…read morewalk through the doors, you're welcomed by friendly, personable people who genuinely care about getting to know you and supporting your goals. Upon entering, Holly and the front desk team consistently greet you with a smile, and their positivity radiates. The instructors and trainers are exceptional; they bring so much knowledge, energy, encouragement, and personality to everything they do. Whether you're taking your favorite yoga or barre class (thank you Olga and Christine!), working with a trainer (Deanna is the best!), or are simply looking for motivation, there is always someone there to help you feel supported and challenged in the best possible way. People are encouraging, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see one another. And, it starts the minute you schedule your tour of the facility to see what the club has to offer. My husband and I weren't sure we were going to join, but after spending quality time with Gabi, we were sold. She asked thoughtful questions about our fitness journey and goals, while also making us feel like we were talking to a friend we had known for forever. We knew that showing up and staying committed to our fitness journey was something we were actually going to look forward to, and we weren't wrong! In addition to the exceptional staff, Midtown is a beautiful facility with wonderful amenities. Make sure to schedule a massage with Vanina, and take advantage of the resort like feel of the pools, hot tub, sauna and steam room after a long workout. Grab a meal, get work done in the library between classes, or lounge with a drink in your hand- whatever you're feeling, it's an option! Midtown is a wonderful place to pursue your fitness goals, grow stronger, and become part of a community that wants to see you succeed!

    My wife and I have been members since March and absolutely love the club. Gabi was wonderful to…read morework with and very welcoming during our tour and ever since. Deanna has been awesome to train with and love that I have the service connection with her.

    This a review for the Morton Grove location…read more Our 4 year old son had an absolute fantastic time with sensei Patel in the 4-7 year old beginner class. He looked forward to each class, and was always eager to tell us what he did in class. Sensei Patel did a fantastic job of balancing the class for all ages, not sidelining anyone, and instilling an eagerness in the students to learn more. Occasionally sensei Patel had to reign in, and redirect the energy a bit, however in a class geared towards rambunctious younger learners that is to be expected. For the following session we had him progress to a beginner/continuer 4-7 year old class. We wanted to keep him at the same or somewhat higher level of expectation as in sensei Patel's class. He was by far the youngest student in the class, and the older students were obviously much further down the road with their karate skills. The class ended up catering more towards the older students (6 and 7 year olds). What is needed to engage and motivate a 4-5 year old and a 6-7 year old student is quite different. Also, there are limits to what can be reasonably expected from a 4 year old student. With that said, the instructor was very skilled in martial arts, and for older students I can see him being suitable.

    Our boys have been training with ISKC since they were four years old. Almost 6 years later and one…read moreof them with a Sho Dan, we are still going strong! This place is more than a karate dojo to us, it is our extended family. We are very thankful that we found ISKC through our park district. From the excellent programs (for both young and old), to the top notch Senseis, nothing is short of the best. This organization is teaching my boys not only great karate (both competition and real life application), but also teaches them to be healthy, disciplined and confident about themselves. All these skills are directly helping them succeed in their school life as well and making them into well rounded individuals. My boys have also made great friends through this club that they will keep for a very long while! If you are looking for a karate club, par excellence, ISKC is definitely Chicagoland's top karate club! Highly recommended!

    Parking was tricky (lot full, but also free which is nice) and the concession stand hot pretzel and…read morepizza were a big let down, but otherwise this was a great place to catch a roller Derby event! We cheered on a Chicago-Style Roller Derby bout last Saturday night. The rink seemed to be working for the teams, and we appreciated the rink-side fan seating option, on the floor right up next to the action. The acoustics weren't the best, so we could not discern 75% of what the announcer was saying, the the bout was great and we enjoyed our first visit to Salt Creek Sports Center. Loved that there were vendors present and we picked up decals, t-shirts, baked treats, and some really beautiful watercolor note cards. $20 a person to watch was steep, but I don't know if the facility sets the price or if that was the Derby folks charging $20 a person. Still really enjoyed our night!

    Not sure why this is asking me to post review since I've done this before. Extremely old rink ,…read moreupdated for roller hockey a number of years ago. It's passable nothing great. Recently, they got some janitor closet turned into a women's locker room which it certainly isn't, but that's beside the point because my daughter plays roller hockey there. I will say the rink is tended in a decent manner, always plenty of parking, washrooms are reasonably clean, and they have a decent concession stand with a variety of food and beverages and you can walk in there on a Sunday morning and have the place to yourself. Supposedly across the street the Bears are going to build their stadium at Arlington Park , hopefully it doesn't affect this place since they do offer something that is not around a lot ,and that is roller hockey. Would hate to see something happen to this place since it serves a good purpose.
