They have decent hours to come workout. The locker room is also kept nice and clean, and has lockers that you can self-program daily so you don't need to bring a lock! I have showered there- the water is hot and the pressure was good but the curtain is way too small for the shower! There was no way to have full coverage so I ended up doing a little dance to stay hidden the whole time I showered. I don't think many use the showers so it wasn't like I was seen by anyone, thankfully. They do not offer towels, so bring your own for showering! They offer some good classes with nice variety too- arrive early to guarantee your spot! (You will get a colored ticket to claim your spot in class). The fitness studios, though, get way too cramped due to the popularity of classes. I would think they should just offer less tickets to class or try to move them to one of the park district studio areas or basketball court! It's a great place overall and a great deal on price per month too.

Mark and Becca and all the other trainers were amazing! ***The cons: the manager specific to the la grange location- she has been discussed here before and, I'd agree she definitely needs to be retrained in people service skills. I understand that the rules are important and that you can only cancel with 8+ hrs notice or be charged an additional fee if 12$ each time.... but I could not always do that with my schedule and family life and I paid the extra fee quite a few times over 18 months without complaining or pushback bc I understand the rules. However, the manager likes to make people feel like they've done something quite wrong even if they pay the fee. The attitude is what made me cancel my membership at OT LA GRANGE! I love OT and I'll be joining elsewhere possibly but the manager there was condescending and had few people skills. She instead couldn't t read the room or situation even at the holidays. She sometimes she acted more like a parent scolding you than a customer service manager... She scolded me about a few various things over the months... for example while I was cooling down after class one day (and the trainer told us to stay in as long as we like), I took that to mean I could cool down from my run for a very quick 3 minute slow walk. Well, she suddenly turned off my treadmill and everyone else's before everyone had gotten off. She did this a lot. She seemed to do this quite often in the evening near the end of the class even if there were no class behind us. One day during OPEN GYM with only one other person in the gym, I had pulled out my phone to open my OT app specifically and check my heart rate and progress during my open gym workout. the large screen was not showing heart rates up on screen in the gym. I was only one of 2-three people in the gym yet she runs in and lectures me while I'm on the treadmill and tells me to put my phone away. I complied but I tried to explain I was just checking my heart rate bc it helps me stay on track during OPEN GYM. She just continued with this hardline about how you can't have your phone out anytime in the gym even if you're not on it, and it's a rule to keep everyone focused on their workout....I said ok, sure.... But then can we get the heart rates put up in the above monitor? She said "no we don't display them usually during open gym..... ugh." But now I noticed the DO put them up during open gym which makes much more sense. It was about the way she ran in and spoke in a scolding manner. ***Another time I came in and was stretching at the end of my workout- it was right after the noon class and Mark told me I could stretch. The manager, same person, turns off the lights in the workout area from somewhere over in front, but- hmmm not very welcoming. I have no idea why she did that they didn't lose electricity and the gym was open. Not to mention the attitude she displays for canceling a class even if you request just to switch to a later class the same day. It seems to be a big deal for her (not others) and even if you pay for the top unlimited membership, be aware you still can accumulate 12$ up charges if you have a busy schedule and can't cancel before the 8 hr mark... if my work needs me late or a kid gets sick I'd usually eat those fees. But the attitude from the manager is just silly and ridiculous. Another time she scolded me for walking into the main area with my street shoes on. They were clean but it was winter and wet outside. I obviously understood I had to clean my shoes but she ran over and asked me why I hadn't brought a second pair to change into bc I was supposed to do that each class. I had never heard that and had never been told that honestly. I had been a member for about 2 months when that happened. She claimed I definitely had been told this before. I honestly NEVER been told that and rarely saw other change their shoes before going into the gym but often during rainy days people would wipe the bottom of their feet with clothes the team had put out. But again her attitude was condescending and silly. I decided even though I love OT classes and trainers, I'm done with La Grange. Hope the next OT manager I join with will have better reasonable attitude to keep everyone feeling great about their workouts. I was able to manage the cost while still getting strong but I know others may find the 8-12 hr cancellation policy difficult m. I'll go further to get what is appropriate for me. Attitude is everything.

I personally loved coming to yoga, enjoyed every class and interaction I've had. The reason for the…read more1 star review is due to their policy which I suggest the company rethink. I just found out 2 weeks ago I am pregnant, I am physically ill when I tried doing classes and decided it would be best to cancel my membership, I spoke to customer support which told me due to their policy I would still be charged for the next month since I did not cancel on time. I am physically not able to power through a class and was not offered a resolution, account credit does not work since I won't be able to come in any time soon and who knows after pregnancy if I will have time the first year. No compassion for human life. I'll make sure to highly discourage friends and family to obtain a membership at a place that will not care for their students, and look elsewhere for a yoga membership. This interaction felt like a total scam and at this point I am coming to terms that I just gave Core power 150 dollars just for the fun of it since I am not able to come in for the classes any more.

Now imagine practicing yoga in a place that has a city feel in the middle of the suburbs. That's Core Power LaGrange in a nutshell. No drugs, dirt, or stank :) This is such a cool studio. Its located on the 2nd floor of the building at the corner of Lagrange Rd and Burlington Ave, right next to the Metra. Parking is available for students only behind the building off Burlington. There are two rooms- one for really hot stuff, and the other for warm yoga. Each room has a cool view out onto downtown LaGrange. The rooms are really large and never feel crowded. Teachers are the same as all other locations, so the yoga itself is always uniform (and fun). The guys locker room is good sized- at least I never feel like I'm tripping over people, and they are nicely stocked with grooming stuff. Overall another awesome CorePower location. Definitely one of the more unique ones, and the location is perfect.

I gave it 4 stars only because I like a bit more direction in my Pilates class, and although Jill was amazing and sweet, I love when an instructor is kind and encouraging but also provides corrections. I am also a fan of music during my workout classes but if you like more peace and quiet, Jill's class will be up your alley. Despite those two minor things, I am still very interested in going back!

Hector is phenomenal! His patience is through the roof, he is more than willing, calm and collected well demonstrating what and how to achieve the best results. Whether it is an introduction to a new move, or going over something that I forgot. It is very affordable, I have the unlimited class option. Should also mention that I enjoy all of the events and gatherings too besides classes. I'm never up early enough to experience class with Laura, but whenever I have met and spoke with her, she to make the experience enjoyable. I could not wait to get back to CrossFit after the quarantine phases were elevated. I love absolution CrossFit!!!

They also offer a ten punch card so you can try out the gym before you make a commitment. Those who workout at Elite seem to be connected members of the local community. I find that the clientele is friendly, respectful, and fitness-focused. Lastly, the gym is located in a very cute area of Western Springs.
