I took a free class in July 2025 before going out of town, and even then, I knew I wanted to join…read more When I returned, I was ready to commit because I missed being around people and had grown bored with working out alone. I completed the on-ramp classes with Coach Craig. I had done CrossFit back in Chicago in 2018, so I definitely needed a refresher. Coach Craig was amazing, he took his time explaining each movement step by step, provided accommodations when certain exercises didn't work for me, and used great analogies and perspectives that helped everything click. He has a great spirit and makes learning feel comfortable and encouraging. In October, I started running again by joining the run club, completing 3.41 miles at my own pace. I used to run years ago with a group of women running on the Lake Shore Drive and really enjoyed it, so it felt good to get back into that space. I currently attend the 5:00 a.m. class so I can stretch afterward and still have time to get home and get ready for work. I've also really enjoyed the 6:00 a.m. class with Coach Estefani. She always greets you with a smile, asks how you're doing or how your weekend was, reviews proper form, and gives helpful feedback. She consistently pushes you to go harder and lift heavier in the best way. Estefani encouraged me to join the run club, attend DEKA training classes, and even sign up for my first DEKA race. Even when I give her the side eye during certain workouts or tell myself I can't do a move, she always reminds me to try first or offers a modification. I also love hearing her fitness and race stories they inspire me and make me believe that maybe I can do those things too. The other coaches are great as well. Overall, this gym has an amazing community where people genuinely encourage and support one another.

Coach Sable and Coach Katie were the two most dedicated coaches when all others came and went. They knew each of us, our strengths and weaknesses, and knew when and how to push us.

My husband and I recently started Orangetheory at the end of May and originally signed up at the…read moreOrland Park location. Since then, we've been alternating between Orland and the Frankfort studio and both locations are equally amazing! The coaches at Orland Park are next-level. Sable is an absolute beast! she knows exactly when to challenge you and will have you adding weight if she knows you can handle it (and somehow, she's always right!). Her classes are tough but incredibly motivating, and I always look forward to them. We also recently started taking Katie's class, and she's just as amazing. Her style brings something fresh and challenging, and we really enjoy the variety between her and Sable. The mix of coaching styles across both locations keeps things exciting and helps us stay committed. Everyone at this studio, from the front desk to the coaches, is friendly and welcoming. Orland Park is just as top-notch as the Frankfort location and we're so glad we decided to join!

I recently visited LA Fitness Tinley Park as part of preparations for an upcoming launch…read more Unfortunately, we weren't able to accomplish the work we had planned because we couldn't access the areas we needed during our visit. We were informed that the necessary keys were unavailable at the time, which prevented us from completing our preparation. While that was disappointing, I hope processes can be put in place to ensure access is available for scheduled launch and project teams in the future. Better coordination would help avoid delays and allow everyone to make the most of their time on-site. I appreciate the staff who tried to assist us and hope the next visit goes much more smoothly.Be back mid July!

DISRESPECTFUL STAFF the gym has many different workout rooms…read moreand more of a variety of work outs to choose from. but the staff... I normally go with my friend thru his pass but I created my 3Day Pass. I went & the lady at the desk was nice & took me to their little office era where another younger girl was. she begin activating it and asking questions "do you have current gym now" i do not. not since December then she said " so you don't have any goal or plans you just plan on coming in for 3 days that's it ? " that right there... was out of pocket & unnecessary. the way she word it & the faces she made was very disrespectful and not appropriate for customers. that was NOT A FRIENDLY WELCOMING. then ended it off with a fake smirk. they need better staffing that's not 19-21

Genesis Barbell is an amazing gym that I cannot say enough about…read more Short story... fantastic owners, great facility, location, equipment, programming, and community. Long story... My wife and I have been members for over 8 years now and after visitng many gyms both local and across the country, nothing compares to what Genesis offers and provides. I have personally trained at Genesis for a variety of fitness challenges including Marathons, Power Lifting, and Hyrox competitions. Whatever your goal is, Genesis can help you reach it. The owners obviously care very deeply about the gym and their members. They are frequently updating the gym, equipment, and always keep it spotless. They listen to their members and try and help everyone reach their goals. They even became a Hyrox affiliated gym due to the interest some had in competing and wanted to ensure everyone had a better chance to not only get in but also succeed in reaching their goals. The faciltiy itself is in a great location that enables outside running to be included in workouts. One loop around the block is almost exactly 1KM which makes it perfect for Hyrox training. They also have curved treadmills/runners inside if its raining or extremely hot, which brings up another huge perk; air conditioning! This is pretty rare for this style of gym and really is a huge benefit during the summer. Another perk, is the kids room at the front of the gym that includes toys and a tv. Genesis has all the equipment you could want including runners, bikes, skiergs, rowers, specialty bars, and everything else you would expect at this type of gym. The programming is top notch and is all done in house. The workouts aren't just random, varied workouts. They are thoughtfully constructed, planned out, and run in cycles. They can be as hard as you want and are great for all levels of fitness. The coaches always have alternative movements ready if something doesn't work for you. The coaches all know their stuff and have the credentials and certifications to back it up. They also offer custom programming for a variety of disciplines including Power Lifting, Bodybuilding, Hyrox, etc. Another unique and great feature of Genesis is they allow you to do other WODs or even your own training during all hours. You aren't forced to only off hours, open gyms, or only 1 hour sessions if you want to add more or take a bit longer on the workout that day. Overall, Genesis is a top notch gym with everything you need to get stronger, healthier, or more competitive in whatever your sport is.

The worst gym I have ever been to. The gym itself is okay but the hidden fees and the cancellation…read moreprocess is purely criminal. The owners of this company should be in jail. To warn everyone who is looking for a new gym DO NOT sign up for this gym. Just to let's everyone know this gym charged me every month while it was CLOSED due to COVID and still charged me every month the gym was shut down. On top of that I cancelled the membership 3 different times and the first 2 times I was told by their finance company that they never received any payments even after I provided bank statements and basically told me to kick rocks and continued to charge me. I had to go as far as to cancel my credit card due to the never ending payments. Fact is, don't waste your hard earned money with crooks like Charter Fitness. They are a sad excuse for a fitness club.

Been a member with them since they were known as Cardinal Fitness and it literally couldn't mean less to these con-artists. Nothing has ever been replaced in 10+ years. Extremely bare-bones. Steer clear at all costs.

Don't sign that contract! They make it impossible to cancel, especially if you're from out of town…read more I forgot to cancel before I left town around this time last year, so I called to cancel and they told me I had to physically sign documents. Came from California to end this nonsense a year later, just to get told I can't cancel my membership because I owe $250 even though they've been charging me for the last year. Since November of 2024 they changed the charges to $45 and started charging me bi-weekly. So how do I owe $250?? The lady told me the charges never went through but the money was taken from my account. Then I was told my bill is with collections and I can pay half of it with them but it would still be with collections. What a mess! Build an at home gym for you and your friends! Avoid the headache
