He claimed that my key fob had been blocked but did not bother to call me or mention this to me beforehand.

They claim to have zero tolerance for racism & discrimination but fail to actually prove it.

I got introduced to Edgewater Athletic Club via a swim program they host…read more Pros: - They have a nice sized pool that has several swim lanes for beginner swimmers and more advanced swimmers. - The staff member at the entrance was very nice. He was always willing to loan me a towel every time I visited. - The swim program is setup every well! It took me a few rounds to land a spot because it's very competitive but it was worth the wait. The instructors are very knowledgeable and helped me feel more comfortable in the water. Cons: - The pool is cleaned monthly and you can really see the difference of it being recently cleaned vs collecting whatever in the pool. - The locker rooms could use an update and a deep cleaning. I wish they had a mix of short lockers with the full sized lockers so we don't have to stuff all of our items into multiple lockers when it gets colder outside.

The staff member who was there when we visited was always friendly and charmed by my little one (not the only reason I liked her!) and always had a mask--in June 2024 when most people have abandoned masking.

I started working out here the summer of 2020 during a time fraught with uncertainty, and since then, I've been working out here since. It has what many commercial gyms lack... a community. This past year I moved away from the Rogers' Park to the suburbs so I haven't been able to come here as regularly as I'd like, but it's because of this gym as well as the community of RP that I am moving back in a couple weeks... that speaks to how special this place really is to me. I cannot stress the importance to bring awareness to small businesses. It's what makes Rogers' Park so unique to other neighborhoods in the city. Thank you Nestor and Lana for keeping this gym for us and the community. It truly is an amazing place and I will always support these guys!

For me personally, I've found that working with a trained professional helps keep me motivated, but most importantly, focused on my goals. Muscle maintenance is only one part of the equation. Preparing my body for and embracing changes caused by the ageing process is why I continue to work out with a trainer. I've trained with Jorge from Bezz Training Club for about a year. Our workouts are a combination of strength maintenance, flexibility, range of motion, stretching and balance. The space is as comfortable for a one-on training as it is for any of the group classes offered there. Bezz Training realizes that all people learn differently and at a different pace. As a classic kinesthetic learner, my trainer has to demonstrate and allow me to participate at the same time. If your form is off on a few of those reps, rest assured, you will be corrected! The culture of Bezz Training Club is solid ,cohesive, and non-judgmental. Staff all have a passion for fitness, are enthusiastic, dependable and motivational. And last, but certainly not least, BTC offers free parking in the building. This is the place you want to train if you're serious about getting results

If you have never considered working out with a personal trainer, I highly recommend it. I was skeptical at first but quickly found what a great motivator it is to have someone expecting you at the gym and there to lend their expertise and undivided attention. Once they get to know your limits you will have the best workouts of your life. We never challenge ourselves as much as a professional who knows what we can do and can't do. There are many group classes however, I've only taken advantage of the candle-light yoga, which is something else that previously was not in my comfort zone but have really enjoyed.

Since joining, I have lost 20 pounds, have built strength and am seeing noticeable definition I did not have before. I am extremely pleased with the results I have achieved so far.

Everyone there, trainers and fellow clients alike, want you to succeed. It is a terrific environment. Scheduling sessions is easy on the app and I think the monthly cost is extremely low given the fact that you can participate in as many sessions, most 30 minutes, that you would like, each month. Thank you to Paul, Dan, Jason, Robert, Nichole, and Ford - you are all AWESOME. I should add ... I am a 57-year-old man, proving it's never too late to get in shape.

I was very hesitant to go back to a gym but I knew I wanted one on one training to get anywhere. After a rave review of Orange Shoe came my way (and discovering I'd gained about 20 lbs this year) I decided to reach out for a free consultation. I'm skeptical always of gym culture but I was immediately at ease chatting with Ford about what I was looking for and what we could do! I started the NEXT DAY one on one training with Ford and I'm converted.
