Great fitness club: clean, a lot of well-maintained equipment, classes for every level and type, massage therapy, two yoga studios (Agni and Avani), inside and outside pools, saunas, a separate spa with cafe available for members and public for a reasonable fee. read more

I attended a Gong Immersion event at Avani Studios at Sky Fitness. A gong immersion, or gong bath, does not involve water but instead being immersed in the sound vibrations of a gong, believed to be healing to the body by entering a relaxing or meditative state. I knew what to expect because I had attended a gong bath many years ago. That experience had me falling asleep, experiencing synaesthesia, seeing explosions of light, color and sound, as well as feeling very peaceful and relaxed. This immersion was held in the yoga studio and was at capacity. You set down a mat, and other blankets, with feet in the direction of the gong. (This event had five sound healers and gongs). We started with some stretches and yoga. Then you lie down, palms up, legs uncrossed and listen. It's hard to describe the sound. It's deep, almost like a rumble, kinda like the cymbals, but more than just hearing, I also felt it in my pulse. With five gongs it's almost like a symphony with sounds and vibrations building on top of each other but you don't just hear it coming from the direction of your feet, it seems to be coming from every direction, immersing you in vibration. At this point I went in and out of sleep and certain sounds made my limbs twitch. One certain sound seemed to jolt me awake and I saw yellow or green pops of color (my eyes were closed). After that, I started to get restless and could not stay still and needed to stretch. I think at that point I had enough and it was maybe 10 minutes more (the total gong portion was 75 min?). I felt very tired (perhaps extremely relaxed?) and calm, my eyes were tearing (???), and we then had a short deep breathing and meditation. The gong practitioners were lovely, beautiful souls who promoted peace and healing. I felt at peace and in a more refreshed state of mind than when I started. I would attend another of these events but next time I would bring more blankets. read more

Sky Fitness - Gyms Near Me - Buffalo Grove, Illinois

Went to Skyfitness for the Endeavor Health Warm Water Physical Therapy program. facility was surprisingly nice. huge multilevel broad array of equipment. Pleasantly saw continuing cleaning thru out. read more

Friendly. Clean. Good selection of equipment. Accommodating to out of towners. I work out when I am in town for work! read more

Sky Fitness is one of the few places with a warm water therapy pool. Following physical therapy, I wanted to continue those exercises for my knees. After joining, I met the Executive Director, Larry Heller, who said one thing to me that has kept me motivated. He said, "Just walk in that front door, because once you do that, you'll do SOMETHING (exercise)!" That message continues to resonate and motivate me. There are so many kinds of fitness classes to choose from. Plus, there are no shortage of personal trainers that can help you get started on meeting your fitness goals. The staff are so kind and helpful. It's one of the few gyms where I really feel at home. read more

This gym has everything you could ever want in a gym. Huge variety of classes, immaculate locker rooms , friendly staff , 2 fabulous pools , you name it. The fees are quite reasonable for all you have access to. Highly recommend . read more

I want to commend Sky Fitness on its swimming facilities. The pools, inside and out, are terrific. Both are kept in immaculate condition and are perfect for both laps and water aerobics. Congratulations to the Staff at Sky Fitness! read more

if you are an early morning person who likes to swim, watch out for the pool bullies. They don't care if you are in the lane first, They show up with their speaker, blast music and try to push people out of the lanes that they want for their "class,," which is not an official class, just one that they decided to create. If you are in their way (even if you are there first), they will attempt to block you. Spoke with the director, he talked to them, and they still persist on trying to push people around. Sounds like 8th grade, eh? I am a professional and business owner and would NOT tolerate this behavior. Since when can you have 6-8 people in one swim lane? I love the club, but truly not sure if I will continue to put up with the old bats. read more

I can't say enough great things about this club and its employees. The facilities are world class, and it has a walking/running track that is missing in 90% of the gyms out there. Everyone is so friendly. The equipment is equal to, or better than most. Some negative posts say there isn't enough workout machines, I just can't understand why. There's more than I've ever seen, and there is never a wait to use them. I've been a member for many, many years, and truly look forward to going there. Pricing is equal to, or better than the others. When I bring out of town guests, they can't believe what they offer. Do yourself a favor and check it out! read more

Brilliant facilities, pickleball is amazing, staff is extremely friendly - one the premier clubs in Illinois in my opinion! Love coming to sky! read more

This is the best value for the price. The GYM is clean an nice. The price of 89 $ per month is totally reasonable for the amount of services you get. read more

It's horrible so expensive for the low variety of machines. Locker rooms stink and you have to pay extra for some things. Planet fitness is as good maybe better. read more

Great Gym! Clean facility, crew is always cleaning , indoor and outdoor pool are very well maintained, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi very clean, front desk and trainers friendly and very helpful! Love going Sundays and relax at outdoor pool! read more

I find this to be a very good value...very clean...many machines so I've never had to wait...sauna is great...very large and serene to relax after a workout...there is nothing negative to possibly say about SKY Fitness...I believe any negative reviews are from competitor TBH... read more

Have been a member of this club for a couple of years now. Facilities are terrific, clean and always being improved. Many classes and programs to keep the workouts varied and interesting. I especially enjoy the pool with dedicated lanes for lap swimming. And the golf studio is pretty cool with the trackman equipment. In addition to excellent facilities, the staff is wonderful. Always friendly and helpful. Many thanks to Larry & Stacy for a smooth operation. read more

Kate Malcolm is a phenomenal professional trainer. When she left her prior position in Libertyville to go to Sky Fitness I made the decision to follow her to Sky Fitness. The facility is clean, spacious, not intimidating (one clubs are). Kate knows how to work with her clients making sure that the client follows good form, avoid injury, make steady progress towards their fitness goals. She is extremely personable, knowledgeable and a joy to work with. I look forward to each session. The facilities are great including the locker room. Very clean. read more

I joined this gym for a month using a month pass on Groupon for a little less than $50. My biggest fear was there'd be more people than equipment during the busy hours of 05:00-07:00pm but that proved not to be true. Never once have I ever had to wait for another to finish their set. The equipment is all well kept. The lockers and showers are clean. And while I never took a class, they do have a good variety. The average age here is definitely on the older side. A lot more middle-aged to elderly people than younger. Have not seen any gym rats. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

Worst gym ever, very kids non friendly!!! Is it possible to give them 0 stars?!? Will never go there again... save your money and time and never go there read more

I have been working with Justin for a couple of years and find that he really respects his clients. I like how Sky keeps adding new equipment and not stagnant with the same old. read more

UGHHHHHHH. Used to come here all the time, but since the management change... things have gone way downhill. The executive director is rude to members and ignores their requests completely. Customer service does not exist at Sky Fitness, which is ironic because it's their customers who keep them in business. I would NOT join this club. read more

This is the best club in the midwest in my opinion....awesome pool.....extremely clean...super friendly staff...and they are building an awesome outside facility...which includes a pool...restaurant....and spa.....should be open in a few months.......larry the executive director is 1 of the nicest guys you will ever meet!!! read more

Extremely clean and conducive environment for getting in a fantastic workout. The staff is super helpful and easy going. Have now been a member for 5 years and couldn't ever say I'd go elsewhere. read more

I used Sky Fitness for a month using a Groupon and I'm very much impressed with the services this gym has to offer for a slightly higher rate than LA Fitness. Sky Fitness has a heated pool, Steam, Sauna, Jacuzzi, Basketball court, track for running and rooms dedicated for yoga, aerobics, etc. The gym occupies a spacious two storied building and 2nd floor houses the cardio and weight equipment. They have a variety of treadmills and everything is in working condition - unlike LA Fitness where things lay broken for weeks. The entire facility is well maintained and dressing rooms are clean. Would recommend this gym over LA fitness any day. read more

I really liked this gym. I am extremely reluctant to exercise in general due to the fact that I have little stamina, but the overall atmosphere here has changed all that. Let's face it, the most important part of selecting a gym is whether we will actually end up going regularly. I think what sets this place apart is how incredibly clean it is, it is the sparkling clean factor that makes me feel like this place is more reminiscent of a spa than a sweat filled torture chamber. The gym is never full, the lockers are country club style, and the pool is just amazing ( actually, all the exercise equipment is as well). The membership price is steep, but I think it's well worth it for what it offers. read more

I came for the restorative living soundtrack yoga last month with a friend and it was so amazing (and free!). Natasha and Rich were great, really helpful. It is easy to get to, so I decided to do some other classes and eventually joined. The facilities are really nice and clean, plus all the instructors have been awesome. It has been great getting back into strength training. It is worth checking it out, I think they have a restorative yoga session every month. read more

Great gym! Clean, friendly staff & wide variety of equipment & classes. I've been going to yoga classes for 18 years ( both at gyms & studios) & their yoga teachers are some of the best. My husband & I are happy to be members! read more

The customer service is literally horrible, no one is on the same page and the people at the front desk are always providing conflicting information. Not the way to run a business lol literally horrible read more

Great place to workout. Tons of new state of the art equipment. Helpful and knowledgeable trainers and staff. New addition will offer huge outdoor pool, restaurants, dedicated pickle ball courts, luxurious Spa and other top of the line amenities. Sky Fitness is the place to be. read more

Do NOT join this gym. Just take a look at the other reviews that discuss their management which I agree with completely. Clearly these owners do not know how to deal with people whatsoever. They honestly do not care about paying members and potential future members. Don't let the nice facility fool you. You're better of going somewhere else. Probably anywhere else honestly! Have integrity or hire new management read more

Terrible management. The upper management doesn't treat people right and rather than acknowledge their shortcomings, they try to delete bad reviews. read more

What an incredible facility! The staff is friendly, everything is clean and beautiful. VERY affordable, as this place often runs promotions. I love coming here and enjoy relaxing "water massage" (they have a great jacuzzi with strong flow), steam room and sauna. Nice weight lifting and other equipment. Highly recommended! read more

DONT TRUST THEM! I bought a package for daughter who attends there. Was re-assured when purchasing it that her card would not be charged next visit and she would be given receipt to show the 5 training packages bought. Was told that even the trainer would know. BUT NO they don't tell her they charge her card! I call the SAME DAY they charged my daughters card to Void the transaction so it will not hold fund like refunding does then was lied to repeatedly. First the front desk said no manager was there. Then she said so could call the manager. But instead someone saying they were Justin gets on the phone and was RUDE. Yes I was angry because I was being told nothing they can do until tomorrow but then it will take 3 to 5 days to show up on credit card. So basically DON"T TRUST THEM WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD! And DON'T TRUST THEY WILL DO WHAT THEY SAY THEY WILL DO. NICE FACILITY. BAD STAFF. read more

The owner of this gym is a scam artist! He told me that I owe them for $152 that I already cancelled my membership. He told me that if I did not pay him the $152 that he would send the bill to collections. These guys are the biggest crocks of shit, management thinks they are untouchable and can do whatever they want! You can take my $152, but I truly hope this review hurts your business. Your gym is nice overall, but your management is the worst I have ever seen!!! read more

Do not wear a bathing suit you care about in the warm water therapy pool. On 12/31/12 or 1/1/13, I wore a 2-piece bathing suit in this pool and it is now completely bleached out. The director claims I am the only person to have complained about this problem. Sorry, but I don't believe that for a minute. He is going to do absolutely nothing about my complaint. When my membership expires the end this February, I will never go back. Sorry, Larry, but your lack of customer service has cost you a member. Hope you are happy about this read more

Sky Fitness has been my "go to"place for Cardio workouts as well as stretching and weight work since it opened. Sky was gone though a major renovation giving our club the look and feel of 2017! I find the staff friendly and always willing to help. I'm an 8 year survivor of a heart attack & I believe in large part due to their fitness trainers and super facility. read more

I would definitely NOT recommend this gym. Called weeks in advance to reserve a spot in a yoga workshop and then drove an hour to find out that my reservations had not been written down. Absolutely ridiculous. Do NOT come here. read more

I had a membership for a little over a year (had to switch gyms because this location was no longer convenient for me) and overall I had a really great experience. The staff is friendly and helpful and the gym is really clean. I really miss coming here! read more

The club changed a lot, the new owners are trying to fix the problems. But the quality of remodeling is extremely poor, looks cheap and looks dirty already. They brought in new equipment but the classes are very limited and a lot of them cost extra. The most frustrating part is hours. They close at 6 on the weekends and 9 on Friday. Sad. read more

It's taken me a little over a year and a half to realize and appreciate all Sky Fitness has to offer and my only regret is that I didn't figure it all out sooner. Do yourself a favor and try something new at Sky. You'll thank yourself for stepping out of your comfort zone. And, the best part is, most of these classes are included with your membership! The yoga and hot yoga instructors are amazing and there's a large variety of classes to fit everyone's needs. Movestrong classes lead you through functional movements to make your whole body stronger. Swimming and Water classes in the pool. A large gym area is also at your disposal. Upstairs, you'll find some amazing group classes like Tabata (20 second high intensity intervals), Group Power (weights), Group Ride (Spin class?), Group Centergy (pilates/yoga combo), Group Fight (kickboxing), Ball Conditioning (core stability and strength), Aerial yoga, Pilates and so much more! You'll also find the latest and greatest machines, track, and free weights if you like to workout on your own. There are trainers available to help you get started with machines if you're unfamiliar or uncomfortable. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Other members are friendly and courteous. The whole place is clean and well kept. Large locker rooms with updated showers, sauna, steam room, and whirlpool to help you unwind after an awesome workout. The gym itself is quiet and well run, even with a lot of activity going on in the various areas. There are so many amazing, talented instructors and trainers, I couldn't possibly name them all. I feel fortunate to have crossed paths with so many wonderful, knowledgeable people. They've raised the bar for my own fitness goals and help keep me motivated and striving for more. I'm stronger and more fit than I ever thought I could be. Whatever your fitness goals are, there's an instructor, class, or trainer to help you along the way. This is definitely the hidden gem of the North Suburbs. read more

This is by far the best gym I have ever worked out at. Great clean facility with new equipment and the staff is very courteous and friendly.
