Equipment, price, etc. is fine. The fact that half of the members dont wear masks or wear them incorrectly is troubling. Ground zero for COVID. The Mask mandate never enforced by staff once members are past the front desk check-in. So if you want to remember the good old days pre-COVID when nobody wore a mask, I suggest you stop by. If you want to join a club with smarter and more considerate members and a staff that enforces public safety, Id suggest another club.

There are so many other places to take your business, and please do so! I signed up for a membership here with Sam, and it was the worst experience. The front desk gentleman told me they only had one membership, then Sam told me they had one below it, and finally I realized there are actually a few tiers. After Sam signed me up for the wrong tier, I went back immediately and confirmed the appropriate tier I was interested in. He said he’d “take care of it” and scribbled something on a piece of paper. I assumed he knew what he was doing so didn’t follow up.Come to find out that he had actually added a SECOND membership to my name (obviously to try and hit his target) and I was being double charged the enrollment fee, membership fee and every other fee associated. Eventually Matt (I think is his name) had helped me finally figure it out, I though.Turns out they can only message “corporate” through what looks like a 1994 messaging platform. I called to cancel my membership after a month and what do you know, I have two cancellation charges. Ash was very responsive at first but he has gone silent so clear to say….This place is a NIGHTMARE.

It was good in variety of equipment but some of the machines where not working well like the reverse pec deck. One side was noticeably heavier then the other. Also some of the members take multiple dumbbells and not let others use them.

Review №13

This place is pretty gross. Carpets look dirty no one cleans equipment. People hang out and eat fast food in the lobby. They cannot keep personal trainers so if you buy sessions expect to have 2 or 3 trainers. Trainers are not well trained either... kind of go with the flow of whatever is available or whatever floats their boat. No actual legit plan to help you meet your goals. If I could do it again I would go down the street to FFC or if I didnt want to spend the money and have the same quality of gym I would sign up at planet fitness. I dont really leave bad reviews but have been coming here for almost 3 months; what I share on this review is very consistent every day Im there. The mornings seem to be a bit better, though. Cant wait for my contract to be over... I will be running back to Chicago Athletic Club. Do not recommend Xsport.

I signed up for my brother and later he won’t me to cancel the payment I went to cancel the payment . They are saying since I didn’t cancel it with 3 days I need to callCorporate in order to get my money . I try to all corporate but their lines are busy. They need to let customers no they have 3 days to cancel a plan which in my case they didn’t tell me . I would like to no is there any other way I could get my money back .

Broken equipment. Staff are rude. Locker rooms are dirty. They secretly add fees to your account by “mistake” but there are enough reviews here mentioning that. It’s pretty clear that the erroneous fees aren’t a bug; they’re a feature. They lure you in with low prices, and then hope you don’t read your credit card bill closely.

Review №20

Too pushy with the personal training, told them I will let them know if I do want it, but they kept pushing it asking “so when do you want it” as if I’ve already agreed to it. This isn’t just once or twice but maybe 3-4 times already. I was really starting to like the gym however the workers made me feel uncomfortable coming here. They were all standing in front of me waiting for me to respond. It is extremely rude and unethical by making customers feel bad by not doing any personal training. Don’t get me wrong, the gym here is nice, just extremely unprofessional workers here. Sometimes it smells really bad upstairs too.I like to lift weights and they have a ton to offer, also the pool is usually empty as well. these are some pros.

Review №21

Yesterday was my first day in XSports at said location. I did a walk through.... all the staff except one was professional. I signed up over the ph. The rep who signed me up answered yes to my question only to find out it wasnt supposed to be a yes. I asked if you needed a key to gain entry into the building, he said yes. I asked if he was certain - he stated unequivocally, yes. Upon arrival, I told Isaiah of my ph call and purchased a lock on to find out, this location isnt as I expected. To gain entry, you can get into the door than swipe a card, but not a security card to enter door because staff are present 24/7 at front desk.

Kinda disappointed, first time paying for a personal trainer and she never replied back to reschedule. Just stick to reg membership. Trainers here aren’t worth the price or wasted time. Plus they won’t let u cancel so they just want 1000$ for doing absolutely nothing. Thank god for bank getting my money back.

Xsport is very annoying once the have your contact info, they will ruthlessly send texts and emails if youre not currently subscribed. If your account is active, in the facilities they will annoyingly try to sell you training. Possibly if it was much cleaner they could have more members.

Review №25

UPDATE: How does Matt have any authority over corporate policy???????? Because I wrote a poor review, they wouldn’t let my husband use his guest pass the next day. This place is unethical to the MAX. If you are looking for a gym membership at X-sport, avoid this location at all costs.Worst customer service ever. The staff is extremely sexist, especially Matt. I signed up for a guest pass online to try out the gym and it was offered via email and they rejected me inside and said I had to pay for a month even with proof of residence. They let my husband use his free 7-day pass right after me. I would rather walk to a further gym than ever pay for this one. I will be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau

Employees here are so rude and so unprofessional. Everytime I want to workout I get dirty looks, rude responses, smirks, and just bad vibes. Will be going to another location and a different gym since Xsport cant hire people with basic manners and customer service.To the front desk workers - IF YOU DONT LIKE DEALING WITH PEOPLE AND BEING DECENT HUMAN BEINGS DURING YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH THEM PLEASE GO FIND ANOTHER JOB. BAD VIBES AND BAD ENERGY.

The gym is pretty decent. There’s always some one cleaning... but the staff... not friendly at all...I think there’s like two people at the front that are decent. The rest are rude.. they don’t make you feel welcome. And are a absolutely not there to help.

Ive been trying to cancel my membership and I still keep getting billed. I sent the a via letter to the address the website provides for cancellation request. I tried calling but no one ever answers. I recently got charged $138.85 last week. Not sure why that ridiculous amount!! I need Xsports to cancel my damn membership. With people losing their jobs and corporate places like Xsports don’t care they just want to take your money!

Review №47

I called for simple question, “can I bring a guest here”? The front desk associate said “I don’t know”, and attempted transferred me to another employee. I was on hold for 4 min until I hung up and tried a new call. I called again and another employee said “hold on, give me 1 second” put me on hold for 7 min, picked up the phone, and hung up right away. It took the third call to get my answer to a simple question :)

Review №55

If you are going to ask members to pay $50 a month to have access to your spa services why not ensure that the rooms are actually kept in clean condition. Dont promote safety & sanitation if you do not practice it! In this era you should be ashamed of your business practices at your south loop location.

Ca
Review №56

Good variety of equipment and classes, though more early morning options would be appreciated. Kept relatively clean and staff is attentive. Validated parking (2 hrs daily) in garage attached to building is essential for the location and appreciated. However, I am annoyed that spa services (massages, etc.) were abruptly removed at the South Loop location and the remaining massage package I purchased now has to be used at locations that are not convenient for me.

Review №57

For the price, it is a decent gym. However, there is a chronic issue with them fixing anything that is broken, whether it is broken mirrors, paper towel dispensers, machines, etc. Additionally, the managers are never upstairs to assess their staffs professionalism (wearing masks, returning weights, wiping down equipment, etc ), conditions, or customer behavior (including playing loud music on personal devices without headphones, no facemasks, not wiping down equipment, and returning equipment).

Fr
Review №58

Don’t leave your items in the locker room. Mine was stolen last night, and the lock too. I called the manager this morning, and the first thing I hear from him is “ we have sign everywhere we are liable for anything loss” that’s not why I was calling for, or to get anything free. I’m calling to make sure you guys are doing your job which is to provide the guess with a secure environment, Is that too much to ask?????????

24 hours 365 days a year! You can’t beat that especially with gyms closing at 8 or opening at 5. It’s perfect for anyone with a crazy time schedule! Great selection of equipment (where I gained my gains 💪🏿💪🏿), a protein station, supplements to purchase, swimming pool, saunas, aerobics/cycling/etc classes, rock climbing, a basketball ball court, and a spa 🧖‍♂️ (barber service too). It’s plenty to do to stay active and at a great price! Check it out for yourself

Review №62

Great gym for in and out work. Not the gym you would want to shower and change in. Much less step in the pool or steam room. That’s even if the steam room works. Customer service made me take 2 more stars away !!! Spa service was set up as a promotion for 30 days and subscribed obviously if not cancelled. Cancelled after 3 sessions because InfraRed Sauna was making me break out. To this day they have yet to refund me yet have the audacity to continue to contact me about Spa Deals. Again for quick workout in and out it’s great compared to other places. Other than that join another gym !!!

The gym is decent, a little dirty at times but it’s Because it gets busy the only thing that really gets on my nerves here is the staff, they just see every member as a dollar sign and are really aggressive pretty much trying to open your wallet for you to grab your credit card. They missed out on me for that so I went to pipers alley location where I was told about different discounts and gave me a better price so I signed up over there but still visit this location because it’s closer to my home.

Review №71

I went to this gym on 7/5/19 with my fiancé. We’re from out of town and just needed a day pass. Although it is a great gym with just about anything you could want, the front desk crew was enough to make you not want to return. As a former general manager of two gyms, if my staff operated like what we experienced, I’d had a heart attack. Your front desk staff is the face of your gym. These folks were rude and couldn’t have been less interested that we were there. No smiles, no hellos no personalities. If I lived here, I’d have no interest in becoming a member. It’s a real shame too because the gym is really nice. The owner of this gym would do well to look into some retraining with regard to customer service. Trust me. Your sales would increase.

Sam deserves a raise. He was super helpful when all of the other workers at XSport that I encountered were incredibly unhelpful.Sam listened and gave me options. The other workers either didn’t know what to do or told me to come during regular business hours (Mon-Fri from 9am-6pm). I have a regular job, there is no way I can do that. Thank goodness for Sam.

Generally a great gym, though it does need some improvements and to that end its getting a few renovations. The trainers and rest of the staff are fantastic, I love the workout classes and my personal trainer is the best. As a swimmer the indoor lap pool is a great asset, and the whirlpool is lovely. They have great spa and self-spa services that I use frequently. Pricing is very reasonable for membership and amenities, and theyre always doing deals.

Extremely pushy sales manager. I signed up for a trial and was told I had 2 hours of parking. I was forced to tour the gym for the first 45 minutes and then was badgered for the next 20 minutes about signing up before having a chance to even try any of the equipment and stating multiple times that I would not sign up until I had experienced the gym as I have been tricked before. Tons of great equipment, however, there were almost no bottles of spray to clean off benches and the bathroom was disgusting.

Review №92

I don’t know why this gym offers a day pass. I was in Chicago for a short time, and had a month to look at gyms to work out upon being in town, and this one caught my attention because it looked like my home gym. Once I arrived, I mentioned to staff that I had filled out a day pass, I showed my ID, expecting to sign a waiver only, but their whole policy on a “day pass” is nonsense. Apparently you cannot work out unless you are sure about signing up, although I mentioned I was only in town for a couple days. I had to pay $20, of which I will most likely never use because I don’t spend a lot of time in the city, for parking. My final verdict was to not work out here. If you’re a potential member, I highly suggest looking for a better gym.

Surprisingly not as busy as you would expect a downtown location to be during those times. The basketball court is never waxed or clean so you slide when playing on it.

Don’t pay for personal training here unless you’re a hot girl. Signed up for PT about a month and a half ago and got one session due to the guy constantly canceling on me. The personal trainer I had Phil canceled on me one day but I decided to work out anyway. I walk in and he’s training some girl. Where is the professionalism here? I asked for a different trainer and he canceled on me as well. Save your money or go somewhere else. Will not be returning to this gym!

Youd think that since this is a major location theyd equip it with the best of the best personnel. Sadly - that is not the case. Im lucky to even get eye contact when Im there. Generally speaking, its pretty dirty (like most of the cheap gyms). The only reason I keep coming back is because of the location and that I need a place thats open 24 hours.Best time to go is around 9:30pm (minimal crowds)
