Great little gym…read more Everyone has different workout routines and styles, so what you look for in a gym will be different from person to person. Here's the highlights to help you choose. It's a chain, but not a big one like XSport or Lifetime. So, if you want a big chain gym where you can travel and go to any gym this may not be for you. I know they have several locations but mostly in the Chicago Northwest suburbs. It's not very big, but they have a really good selection of machines and equipment. They don't have big locker rooms, hot tubs, pools, or exercise rooms for classes. I don't need any of that, so I'm glad they don't have it. The focus here is on working out. Even though the big gyms are probably double or triple the size of Fitness 19, they always seem so packed and you have to wait for the machine you want. Fitness 19 is good because you don't bump into people or have to wait a long time to get on the machine you want. With that said, I'll say this isn't a muscle head gym either. I used to work out at XSport, and there were always muscle heads that obviously took something to enhance their muscle growth. Good atmosphere. Everyone seems to be in a decent mood. Perhaps since it's a small gym there are a lot of people living around the area that go here. A lot of people seem to know each other and have a good time. Lastly, it's pretty reasonable for price. I believe I got started with a deal that was either $11 or $12 per month, but I paid for my year in full / advance, and got a further discount. You really can't beat the price and quality of this gym.

Staff is awesome, very kind and informational. Plenty of clean towels, clean rooms and workout area. Pool, sauna, steam room, workout rooms, courts and group classes.

I provided a literal doctors note stating I couldn't work out and they told me they can't cancel my membership because "6 months isn't a good enough reason to cancel". The note had to state "indefinitely". I had to jump through hoops to get it canceled after a physical injury!!! Was penalized for getting injured. And then they were rude to me because I was trying to cancel! Sorry I got injured??? When I first signed up all they did was try to get me to pay more for more classes, personal training, etc. Initially they told me all classes were included to what I was paying and then all of a sudden I had to pay extra for the classes. On top of it, the machines are dirty and so is the facility and the place is pretty small. There's a layer of dust covering the stair masters/treadmills and cobwebs in the corners. I would literally never recommend anyone get a membership here. Spend the extra couple dollars a month and go to LifeTime or LAFitness.

Updated review for 2026:…read more Signed back up to save some money because I do like using their indoor track in the winter. The maintenance staff seems really small still and the building looks completely unkempt, outdated, and dirty. It smells, machines are old and feel scuzzy in the workout rooms. The spare rooms for stretching are fine but the workout schedules seem mostly geared for old people. Cancelling our membership because it feels like things just get worse here, unfortunately. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2021 review: Disappointed post Covid quarantine. They are so understaffed abs there's no childcare help anymore. You must wear a mask to workout in the workout room and all the friendly staff I had formed relationships with are gone. I hope Buehler is able to recover and hire a bigger staff soon but until then I won't be returning.

I recently hosted my child's birthday party at the YMCA, and it was an absolute hit! The birthday…read moreparty room was spacious, providing a perfect setting for the celebration. The highlight was definitely the bouncy house, adding an extra element of fun for the kids. The basketball court, table tennis, cornhole, and treehouse offered a variety of activities, ensuring that every child had something exciting to engage in. The staff was attentive and ensured the safety of the kids while they enjoyed the facilities. There is also a separate play area for babies. There is something for everyone for various age groups. Another nice amenity for a party room is the separate eating area for parents to relax and socialize while the party was in full swing. It created a comfortable space for adults to unwind, chat, and enjoy the festivities from a distance. Overall, the YMCA provided an excellent venue for a kids' birthday party, combining a diverse range of activities with a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!

The water fountain, pitted and also, not functioning #5. Not enough hooks on the wall in the pool or the lockerrooms. #6. The lockerrooms were closed for 5 months-and they look just the same. In Buffalo Grove, there are steam rooms in the locker rooms, as well as towel service, shower amenities, and soap. The sauna and hot tub are kept in working order, as well. #7. The Aquatic teaching staff is top notch. #8. Commercial grade circuit training machines should be used in the weight room: I recommend Hammer Strength, Precor, or Life fitness Dedicated Hip Abduction machine Dedicated Hip Adduction Machine Dedicated Seated Leg Curl Dedicated Leg extension Machine At present there are combo machines that are wobbly, often used, so, a wait is required, and the machines are built for a person of small stature (under 5'5").

Please train more lifeguards of all ages. Be prepared when School Age lifeguards leave for the school year.
