    I really like this location! I switched here from a previous gym, and I've been pretty happy I did…read more There are a ton of cardio machines from rows, to bikes, to treadmills. I've never had an issue of waiting for a treadmill like I have at other places, so I like that they have so many. I've never experienced any of the machines being broken either -- cardio or weightlifting. I like how many variations of each machine they have. For example, they have two variations of the leg extensions, two of leg curls, and about a million for bicep curls lol. The staff is pretty nice, and I've been satisfied with the conditions of the locker room/bathrooms. Parking is also free for the first 2 hours. Only down side is that it's too hot in here! No matter the time of the year, summer or winter, it's hot!

The locker rooms are consistently dirty, there are often no paper towels or sanitizing wipes available, and much of the equipment feels old and poorly maintained. For a "Signature" club, this location falls far short--it feels more like a Bally's from 1995 than a modern fitness facility. Really hoping to see improvements, but as it stands, this will likely be my last year as a member. Do better. Either upgrade, discount or close this location.

    Great facility!!!!! The administration isn't the best but the classes and instructors are AWESOME!…read more Before my job relocated, I signed up for the fitness center here. What attracted me was the price and that the gym was well equipped but not overly crowded. Everything was well maintained and clean. This past spring I signed up for High Impact Aqua Aerobics. To my surprise we had a staff of handsome, athletic young men as instructors. My, my, my just beautiful eye candy. If this wasn't the best motivation, I just don't know what else there is. They worked us hard and kept it professional. No matter how hard the women tried to flirt they remained friendly but focused. This was one of the best classes I've ever taken. It was high impact and they delivered. Unfortunately the summer session was full before the spring was even finished so i couldn't sign up again, but I will make sure i try for the fall. Besides those instructors were assigned to the lakefront beaches as lifeguards for the summer, so I'm not really missing out on anything ;) The only criticism I have is the office staff. This place has set hours to register, which makes no sense to me. I can't remember but its something like 10-12noon and 2-4. So i came on my lunch at 1:00 (this was before I knew of the set time) and they were like you have to come back, i was like I'm on my lunch and I don't get off of work until 5. After going back and forth with the lady for a minute she finally let me register. This was so irritating because registration takes less than 5 minutes, so what's the problem. Then the park supervisor is always just sitting in her office on the phone, practically every time I come in. She isn't friendly and seems to care less whether people sign up for activities or not. But I'm glad I didn't let this deter me because I'm here to workout and get healthy.

In 1893 the Chicago World's Fair was held right in this area. The north end of the fair is now the Museum of Science and Industry and this harbour borders the south end which is near a replica of the Statue of the Republic which was made famous at the World's Fair. The replica was made in 1913 and is awesome and represents America's freedom and it's pioneer spirit.

Is is that no one wants to do their job? I signed my son up for a program and wanted to find out what More they offered. I was asked my sons name then told they didnt have him registered. Now the Only reason I gave my sons name is because I was asked His Name! After a few minutes I was told they didnt have him ... I told her his age , Yes he Is a minor. I told the nice lady she left me a vm saying to pick up key cards. Once i play the vm. She then tells me he cant pick up key cards??? Hes not 18. OK! Then she says, its under my name BC he is a minor. Well then Look Under My Name First! Then I ask about any more programs b4 summers done. Her: well u can bring him but I suggest u stay or he is supervised. Me: I just stare blamk faced. I didnt get my answet. Now i dont know what parent just drops off a 13 yr old at the bank of Lake Michigan, but it aint Me! So then I ask about the children out there in the water now. She tells me that its a sailing program but its full. GREAT UPSALE! Now they do put on a few actvities like movie nite, food, but i was asked am I getting the emails. I AM RIGHT ON FRONT OF YOU. WALLET IN HAND, NOT ASKING FOR FREE. Just wanted to know about how we can benefit each other. Oh I forgot, i had been sitting outside, waiting for someone to talk to for 33 min By Myself! When the people who work came from out the lake, do you Both of these 2 Grown indivduals didnt acknowledge my presence! Just walked right by. I then stopped the sista & asked if there was anyone available to talk w me. Now ofcourse I asked another individual whn I got there if anyone was available but i was told they were all un the water, thats why i waited patiently. BUT THE WHOLE TIME HER WAS UPSTAIRS. (HER=Someone in charge) Thanks JPYC. Is this one of the reason all the boats are now on 31st. My son really would have enjoyed some edicational hands on learning from some professionals since hes going to be a Marine Biologist.

Gyms have always felt scary to me but covid just changed my life perspectives and I was ready to go out of my comfort zone. Nevertheless, most of gym programs follow a one-size-fit-all approaches and require a lot of homework and self fine-tuning to make them work. At Anthos, the program is individualized down to details of every single exercise and every muscle group. I am getting a enough attention during every exercise as Cliff and Shaka always make sure I have the proper form. And I feel very valued when Nick checks in with me every time I am here and asks me about how the program is going and which areas I want to focus on. For example, I wanted to get back to playing soccer so we did a lot of explosive exercises. After I sustained an unfortunate knee injuries, we shifted to more low impact exercises that strengthen the proper muscles and accelerate the recovery process. The exercises have been working well; I managed to reduce my body fat percentage and gaining strength. Anthos also provides extensive nutrition guidance for those who need it. Overall, I highly recommend giving Anthos a try if you want an individualized workout program guided by science in a safe space.

I am also training for my 4th marathon and 1st triathlon. Working with Miguel and Shakka has been amazing. I am getting faster and stronger. I told them what I was looking for and I am getting exactly what I asked for (professionalism, motivation/encouragement and accountability). They provide a fun and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend!
