If time and efficiency is important to you and you want a proper quality workout with strength training and cardio... Give Poe Strong a shot. It's like having your very own personal trainer...because you do! My Bride and I have noticed a a difference in our shape & strength (previous injuries are now not an issue) for a fraction of the time that I would need to spend at a gym. My clients have mentioned that I look like I lost weight. If you do the strength training & cardio it will not take more then 15-20 minutes!!! You can at least spare that to yourself, otherwise, you'll be spending time on your illness! Ask yourself if you are worth 15-20 minutes...three times during the week! Glad I (we) made the commitment! All the best in your personal journey! Cheers!

Finally, a gym that truly feels like a community! The diversity here creates such a welcoming…read moreenvironment--you never feel uncomfortable or out of place. It has the warmth of a mom-and-pop shop, where the owner or staff greet you genuinely, chat with you, and ask about your day. Kaylie was especially helpful in getting me set up with my membership and walking me through the machines. The atmosphere is judgment-free, with no invasive cameras, so you can just focus on your workout and feel completely in your element. The equipment is incredible--like being a kid in a candy store, amazed by the cutting-edge machines that are designed to target exactly what they're meant to. Membership fees are very reasonable, especially compared to bigger franchise gyms, making this an all-around amazing place to train. Highly recommend!

Lifetime Fitness at Lake Zurich has been a fantastic part of my fitness journey…read more Over the last three months, I have lost close to 30 pounds, become much more consistent, and feel stronger, fitter, and more athletic. The facility is excellent -- from the strength training equipment to the cold plunge, steam room, sauna, swimming, and pickleball. It is a place I genuinely look forward to visiting. A special thank you to Daryl, who has been simply fantastic as a coach and trainer. He is knowledgeable, encouraging, and has helped me stay focused and disciplined. I also had the privilege of working with Kevin, who has been excellent with his coaching and support. Both Daryl and Kevin are outstanding. I also want to recognize Emmanuel, who is always supportive, attentive, and takes great care of members. He is a brilliant young man and a real asset to the team. And Kim at the reception is fantastic -- I keep wondering how she has so much energy to greet everyone with such warmth and enthusiasm every day. Beyond the fitness facilities, I also love the overall environment -- the café, the bar, and the positive energy throughout the club. It feels clean, professional, welcoming, and motivating. Kudos to the entire Lifetime Lake Zurich team. You have built a great place with a great culture. I truly appreciate the role you have played in helping me get healthier and stronger. Thank you.

This is proof that people do leave good reviews when deserved and its time I give credit to this…read moreplace for turning my experience from once difficult into now "Amazing" Have been a longtime member of Midtown, originally in Willowbrook when I was married and live close to the Club. After divorce , I moved to the northburbs with the kids joined Midtown for several months, and ultimately had to move to Wisconisn. In moving I had a lot of trouble exiting the contract, but this was several years ago. When I moved back to Buffalo Grove in 2022 checked out other area fitness clubs, Sky Fitness, LA Fitness, etc... and yes Midtown in Palatine which is a 15 min drive. I was most impressed with Midtown again, the remodel was excellent, the new locker room, new steam room, outdoor pool is huge and amazing, the fitness equipment is new and always available and never overcrowded, the personal trainers are longterm employess of the company, and very professional and experienced as a result, the food in the cafe is affordable and delicious and the gals in the cafe work hard and are good cooks, the new work area with tables with ports for your equipment is set away from the cafe and worlkout area and perfect to work, eat, then head to workout, and it all starts with the entry desk. Nick and the girls upfront are truly amazing, always greeting everyone with a friendly smile upon when entering and exiting the facility, they give you a real sense of belonging..... I'm very happy that I rejoined Midtown, the experience far exceeded my expectations!!!

I would pay this much money just for access to Bridgette and Katya's boxing classes alone. Not to mention the gorgeous and clean facility, the lovely cafe, the weight room, and all the other classes and amenities. I never once have to fear I'll get ringworm or MRSA here cuz it is CLEAN!

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!
