Looking for a gym, a pool, and other healthy amenities?…read more I've had a membership at 3 local gyms, which I won't name, but you know them. The cheap one doesn't have a pool or a shower. The other one has a shower, but there's too much traffic. The big one has a pool and is huge, but costs more than my monthly mortgage. This YMCA is all you need. It has great family rates, a small but decent gym, a pool, and many other amenities that we havent even used yet. This is the best bang for your buck. My son and I go to the gym between 5-6am and there's always plenty of machines and weights available. The front desk staff was friendly in setting us up and they always greet us with a warm welcome when we come in. We've only had the membership for a few weeks, so if something goes south, I'll update this rating, but for now... it's top notch!

The lifeguards then laughably over-police the tiny space. (think Jim Carrey in SNL over-policing the hot tub) The basketball hoop set up makes no sense. Hoops mismatched and courts mis-aligned. Absolute waste of time to visit this location.

I started at Superior in 2012, the summer before my junior year of high school. I originally wanted to work on my strength and speed as I was working towards furthering my baseball career in high school and college. I saw results after training with Will and Boone for a few months and solidified myself on the varsity baseball roster with the extra power I gained in my arm and my bat. I ended up leading the team in multiple batting categories my junior and senior year and acquired multiple looks from DI and DIII baseball programs. After my senior year, I was accepted to the Coast Guard Academy and earned a spot on their baseball roster while concurrently serving in the military. The strength that I gained from SAA helped me during boot camp and got me through that with ease. Fast forward to 2018, I recently moved back to Chicago and got involved in Olympic Weightlifting. I had a sound basis of the technique that I learned all the way back in 2012 when I first trained at SAA, but I had not trained full time for a while. I wanted to find a program that I could get personal feedback from while having a tailored and individualized workout made for me. I was confident that the coaches could bring me to another level with my lifting abilities. So I decided to take a chance and see what I could learn with the coaches at SAA. I started training with Will and Kurt in August of 2018 and I have seen tremendous gains in my technique, strength, and volume that I can lift. My lifts have gone up various amounts, and I have learned so much about training methods, technique, recovery, and programming with the coaches here. I came in clean and jerking 127kg/279lb, and SAA has helped me get to a 140kg/308lb clean and 151kg/332lb jerk. My squats have increased by 10kg/22lb in the back squat and 15kg/33lb in the front squat. I feel stronger, and I can handle much more volume in training than when I came into SAA in August of 2018. My technique has improved immensely, and I consistently receive feedback on how to lift better. Overall, the community at SAA is hard to beat. Everyone knows each other and motivates one another to reach their goals. The atmosphere is a great place to train and learn in. Everyone is there to help, and the coaches put a lot of time and effort into writing each workout and explaining each part to you. I have felt that if I ever have a problem with any part of the lifts, I can come to any one of the coaches and ask them how to fix it. I am looking forward to the future with SAA, and I am proud to be part of this community.

I dont really do yoga coz it kinda messes up my knees which ia weird right i know! Anyway, being wifh the animals is such a stress relief and so good for my mental health. I did the Puppy Yoga alone and some friends joined me for Goat Yoga. Everyone was great and they even offer to take pictures for you! Ita 30 mins of yoga and 30 mins of playtime. I think if you havent tried this, you should at least once! I definitely wanna try the outdoor one and the Hiking with the goats next! Happy Exercising!

So far, I have only tried puppy yoga here. It was a fun class, and the instructor did her best to…read moregive us directions on poses despite the little puppies running around and occasionally barking. But that was the point, right? I didn't think it was fair that one couple seemed to have treats on their towels, so many of the puppies kept going over there. However, the staff and volunteers from Second City Canine Rescue did their best to distribute the puppies so everyone could get equal play. The class time was 30 minutes of yoga and 30 minutes of puppy play. The only suggestion I would have is that perhaps they discourage people from bringing their own treats so more people get to play with the puppies. Maybe it's just me, but I just thought that was a selfish move anyway, to try and get the puppies to stay by one area. If you are looking to relax and enjoy yoga and puppy time, this is definitely a unique experience.
