So we came out to meet a fellow married couple (we are both child-free by choice) and the girls went to work out together I ended up at Fox Fitness with no Guest Pass so my friend worked out alone as I am super cheap and refused for either one of us to exercise, I am able to run around the block and get my "fitness" in I am a member of Equinox for the pool so why would I bother with this dump with rude service? read more

The Vaughn Athletic Center is awesome! I've belonged to Lifetime, XSport, and Cardinal, and this is by far the best amenities, and best value. They have a large amount of cardio and weight machines - never waited- even right after work. Wide variety of classes including Pilates and Spin, there's a ton of other features I don't use. The only down side is the hours...only open until 7pm on weekends, and 10pm during the week. read more

Great classes for kids and adults, very nice modern facility, cool indoor playground! Nice outdoor playground too. Dance studios, basketball courts, gymnastics, etc. So convenient, right next to an Aurora Public Library branch. A nice break from the rampant commercialism found virtually everywhere, and the children are much happier than at, say, the kiddie videogame arcades. They host kids' birthday parties too. read more

love this place!! I enrolled my 2 yr old daughter in a class that gets them ready for actual preschool. I was scared considering she doesn't get around other kids but her teacher (miss Laura) is ahhhhhmaaaazing. My daughter can't wait to go to "school" and its an hour long so I get to puts around the library down the hall while I wait. The whole facility is very clean and the staff behind the desk are friendly and actually know what they're talking about. I plan on joining the fitness center this spring but I highly recommend the classes here. I will definitely be enrolling my daughter in more, and for the price it can't be beat! read more

The value is good, you get what you pay for. However, I will never again bring my kid to the childcare. They didn't even check to make sure I was taking the right kid. Why have a bracelet system if you're not going to make sure the kids are going home safe. read more

The Vaughan Center is very dirty (disgusting) - many machines are broken or constantly used by "groups" that monopolize them and I am too intimidated to tell them to move on. The yoga and Pilates classes are lacking and usually taught by older women, which is not helpful for a true workout. Teenagers run rampant through the private locker rooms and sauna/steam room. Until this becomes better managed with rules strictly enforced, I will not renew my membership. read more

Yes, the Vaughn Center does have alot to offer, the drawback, they are EXTREMELY overpriced. I can't go there and take a quick class for a few weeks lke most park districts offer without joining for a year at an In Residence fee of $400 a year. YES, $400!!! And that's for 1 person! We pay alot in our taxes for the nice benefit of "Fox Valley Park District" but then have to dish out more money to USE the facility. If you live within this park districts boundries, you're better off joining a Health Club in the area - you'd pay less and get more. Hours at health clubs are better . Residence should really question - what are we paying taxes to this facility for ? We're not rich living in this park district area - Batavia and Geneva which is known for having larger houses and areas with better income levels offers reasonable priced classes for their residence at their park districts. So Sorry we moved into this Park District. If more people protect and NOT use the facility or go elsewhere, maybe they will get the message and rethink their prices! read more

I am a charter member at the Vaughan Fitness Center and we have the Family All inclusive membership which is great for us and the kids. Kids 14+ are able to use the cardio and fitness machines (under a certain age they need to be with an adult) and they do offer many classes that are available for adults (step, spin, kickboxing, piloxing, yoga, pilates, zumba) with what seems to be more being added for kids ( I hope they add more for kids!) They have quite a bit of cardio equipment and machine weights, could use more free weights for those who are serious lifters. They offer personal trainers though I don't know what certifications they hold. Like the other person posted, the down fall is the hours. They just changed the hours so that they close at 5pm on Sundays (BOO!!!) and they are open only till 7pm on Saturdays, while they open at 5am, I really wish they would open maybe at 4am. The kids daycare area is nice and kept clean, the pools are nice though because they are park district sometimes they have to close down the lap lanes and therapy pool for classes. The tracks are nicely kept (upstairs track you need to be 14+ to use) and the field house is large and is home to many community sports but there are some open gym times. It offers a good value so long as you don't mind the limited hours. That would be the ONE thing I would change..open a little earlier and stay open later on the weekends. read more
