I’ve been a member at this gym since 2017 and it’s such a great place to workout! I’ve spent time at their sister gym in Ravenswood as well. The staff and trainers are all very knowledgeable and friendly. They have great classes (I’ve attended both in-person and virtual ones too). What I really love about these gyms is they offer great services and variety of equipment while also providing a comfortable environment. What I’ve disliked about other bigger gyms is how loud it gets (from music and people talking). This gym is great at playing music but not so loud that it’s overwhelming. Even when it’s busy it’s not loud with people chatting. Everyone seems to be non-judgmental and respectful :)

Love this gym. Exactly what I needed. Exceeded my expectations for a neighborhood gym. Tony the manager was very knowledgeable and helped me on my first visit. He also continues to show me different work out options. Barbara at the front desk was also very helpful and kind. There is a workout space adjacent to the weight room that has mirrors and solid surface floors perfect for cross training. Although I havent attended one yet it is my understanding that the classes are great. I recommend it highly.

Nice and clean workout place. Great swim instructors

Everything was good. Good customer service.

The space is airy, bright and clean. Latest equipment which is el maintained. The classes/instructors are brilliant. Everything offered from HIIT to yoga. The staff are all just so lovely- friendly and helpful. I enjoy everything about the gym and would recommendI also appreciate the flexible membership offers available.

Its a great gym. They are the doing the best they can with all the covid-19 modifications.

I just got off the phone with Chris about an awkward situation: I have been with the gym for years but have recently experienced financial hardship and needed to reevaluate my budget. It was a hard conversation to initiate for me, because I LOVE this gym. The classes are amazing, and I typically take 2-4 classes a week. Chris understood my situation, saw from my membership profile that I frequent the gym a lot and have been a member for a long time, and offered to give me this month free. I cannot tell you how kind and generous that was!!! I’m having to cut back on a lot of things, and the thought of cutting back on this gym was really bringing me down. Chris said that he saw that I go to a lot of classes, and the last thing he wanted was for me to lose my exercise routine. This small business is taking a hit for me, and I’m really humbled by their act of generosity. While it’s embarrassing to publicly write about my unexpected financial hardship, I feel it’s important to share that this gym is run by people with heart. They really care about their members. And Chris is smart! His kindness will absolutely keep me loyal to this gym, and I hope my new budget can still maintain my membership. By giving me a month to figure things out, Chris is helping me stay committed to this gym and my well-being. He ended the call with Ill give you this month free, so promise me you will still come to class! Thanks from the bottom of my heart, Chris.

Been a member for 2 years. Excellent gym with large variety of equipment and everything you need for a good workout. The staff at the gym are super.

I was a member at this gym for 3 years before moving out of the city. I loved my time there and miss this gym. The facility is kept clean, it is rarely crowded enough to be a bother, and the rate is very reasonable especially considering all of the classes that are included. All in all, this is just a great neighborhood gym.

I am moving out of the area soon, so I have to leave this gym, and I am so sad because it has been the best! Your membership gives you access to this location along with the Ravenswood and Lincoln Park locations, which I have used, also! While I do wish there was more space in the free weights area, the neighborhood atmosphere and awesome classes (which are included in the very-affordable membership price) make up for what the gym lacks in space. I have gotten so much stronger and feel so supported working out here, and would recommend it to anyone in Edgewater!

I love that it’s small. The prices are great, staff is friendly and approachable. Good, well kept eqiupment. Clean locker rooms and facilities. It’s perfect for me and my needs. No frills and to the point. Their classes are solid too with enthusiastic instructors. My only complaint- the timings. Closes too early especially on Friday to Sunday’s and shuts for various holidays. Makes no sense to me. I have tried to workout at times and they’ve been closed or closing.

This gym is great! Never too busy when I go, which is what I prefer. Great service and friendly staff;

I love Edgewater Fitness Center. The classes and instructors are excellent. There is a great variety of equipment that is well kept. And the staff are very nice!

Been a member for about a month now, and I go almost every weekday. Amazing place filled with the friendliest folks.

Love my neighborhood gym. People are friendly and it’s rarely too crowded. My only complaint is that I don’t see enough people wiping down their machines and weights after working out.

A gym for everyone who is tired of the posers and pretenders whose main objective is to get that vain selfie they just must post. This is the place for all the normies who just want to work out.

A great, small gym in the heart of Edgewater. The always seem to be a few people working out - just enough to keep the place in business, but almost never where you feel it is crowded. Classes are included with membership (such a rarity these days) and class sizes are small.

This gym is a great, local place frequented by neighborhood people. Theyre regular, nice folks that are friendly and not intimidating at all. Im usually reluctant about fitness centers because sometimes the hyper-fit people can leave the average joes feeling like outsiders. Thats not the case here.There are plenty of classes and plenty of equipment. It never gets overly crowded, either. The prices are reasonable and many people will qualify for deals if you sign up with partner or are a student, for example. The location is also incredibly convenient, whether you live nearby or stop in off the train or bus.

Love the energy of this gym! The classes are incredible and the gym is always super clean!

1. Friendly staff2. A lot of classes3. convenient ( next to the El, good food places nearby)4. Though its small compared to a corporate gym, so far, Ive never had to wait for a machine.

I love Edgewater Fitness. Ive been impressed with the classes, the equipment is always available, and the staff is very friendly. Great bargain!

Really affordable, especially when you consider most classes are included! The front desk staff (at least the ones Ive encountered) are super nice and helpful, especially Maddy (Maddie?)

The perfect neighborhood gym. I’ve been a member for 4 years because of the low prices, awesome staff, and INCREDIBLE group fitness instructors. Bootcamp with Lamont, Pomsquad with Brooke, and Tabata with John are classes I will rearrange my social calendar to try to take! If you’re looking for an elitist gym with lululemon and juice bars, look elsewhere. If you’re looking for a no-frills gym with great people, awesome classes, and good equipment at a price that doesn’t make you cringe, check out EFC.

A bit small and can get busy after 6pm. However, early mornings and weekends are the best

This is a small neighborhood gym, but it has all the essentials and group classes. Reasonable prices and a month to month option.

Outstanding staff, trainers.

Small but has everything a small gym can offer

Great Neighborhood Gym with a lot of classes and programs.

My local gym, good prices, very small tho.

Clean. Great friendly staff.

Pretty comfortable and clean

Awesome👍
