Most affordable gym you can go to while also very large.Cons: cant bring guests at night. Huge con for me.Location is far from me (not their fault obviously)Fees were never explained to me both times I signed up or when my friends have signed up. Cancelling membership requires mailing a written letter.No belts.No dip belt/pull up belt.If other gyms werent so awful, Id give this gym a 3/5. Comparatively, its the best though.
I have nothing but good things to say about this gym. All their equipment is nice and clean they have plenty of options. All the staff that I came in contact with are great Brian will greet you by your first name even before you get fully thru the door and that’s a great feeling and Reina is amazing for advise. She truly listens and understands. Thanks you guys for making me feel welcomed.
I trained with Tammy, she is very knowledgeable on fitness and helped me with correcting my form. I had a herniated disc in my spine and she taught me a lot on correct posture while exercising. Great experience, thanks!
Lots of equipment in a small location. Very helpful staff. Lots of classes and trainers available at a variety of levels.
Its OK, it isnt even close to a top gym that I have been too. They really care about selling anything and everything which I hate pressure sales tactics. I was disappointed in the upkeep and lack of updating to contact free towel dispensers, faucets and soup dispensers.
Been a member here since 2013. Great location but its always so dang hot in this location. Equipment and locker rooms are always pretty clean and functional. Stuff breaks regularly, but they seem to get it fixed within a week. Solid gym, great pricing! I love that theyve made pricing easily understandable on their website recently!
I LOVE this gym. The staff is very attentive and encouraging. Thank you for such a great experience!
I dont know what kind of gym allows members to throw weights and medicine balls across the gym while tackling and play-fighting with the staff, or climbing the pull-up bars like a junglegym for 3-year-olds, but its not the kind of gym I want to belong to. I seriously get second hand embarrassment for these dudes desperate for attention.Once my membership is up in a month Im out. Dont join here, you can do better.
I LOVE this gym. The staff is very attentive and encouraging. They absolutely want to see you succeed in achieving any of your personal goals. I recently started personal training with Tammy who I was matched with by the manager who took the actual time to assess what I personally needed. She is amazing. I was terrified at first but she truly pays attention and somehow knows EXACTLY what works for me. Thank you for such a great experience!
I have been trying with Tammy for a few months now and she is amazing! At my fist session we discussed what my goals of training were and every session since has been working to achieve them. She pushes me to work harder and do things I would’ve never done on my own, but she also listens to my concerns and modifies when necessary. If you are thinking about getting a personal trainer I would highly recommend Tammy.
I had a really great personal training session with Pat. Pat showed me a great chest workout routine and watched over me, making sure I was doing the exercise correctly. In addition he had also shown me how to stretch out my chest with the bands as well as bench pressing with the bands wrapped around the bar and also taught me how to decline bench press, both of which I hadn’t done before. End result was a absolutely great pump. The facility itself is really great, lots of motivation around you, wide variety of machines and free weights. All around awesome!
XFight class got me seeing Jesus, 10/10
Very nice facility and location. Personal training with Tammy for the past few months have been wonderful. She pushes me to do my best and is always friendly. I also attend her yoga class every week and she is excellent at instructing the class and creating a calm environment.
I have always enjoyed fitness group classes at gyms but this is the first time I am enjoying personal training. Tammy is really great at what she does. She pushes in increments and sets the right pace. When I joined I had constant leg pain for which I had visited multiple doctors, with the muscle strengthening and leg exercises, I don’t have any pain. I have also improved my diet with suggestions from her. I highly recommend the gym and especially Tammy for her help!
Childcare is dirty and never open on time. When someone does show up- they are on their phones and less then happy to be there. Tanning is never clean either and rarely working or system is down. Spin bikes are broken and have been for months with no rush to fix despite months of follow up emails. I highly recommend you don’t waste your money here.
My monthly bill is $10, Xsport charged me $50 for no reason on April during Covid. Couldn’t reach anyone over the phone, had to cancel my card. Carefull people!!
I train with Pat at XSport. Ive trained with him for over a year and a half and Im in the best shape of my life. He really pushes me and helps me get the results I want. I highly recommend. Thanks, Pat!💪
I have been going here for years. I am impressed on how clean and well managed the club is. I feel Jordan gets it together for all members.It was runned down prior to him taking over management!!!
Great place to work out at! Friendly and welcoming place from the moment you walk in. My personal trainer, Pat, is a man of his word and I see results on a weekly basis. I am always looking forward to my work out classes!
So I joined Xsport since it seemed like a decent training facility despite their pushy used car salesman staff. Wow was that a mistake! The gym is filthy, their equipment is not properly maintained, the group classes were horrible, and their staff is rude AF. I should have trusted my gut when the staff was pushing so hard for the sale without addressing my concerns from the other reviews. Then I tried to cancel three days after joining and asked for a refund which is legal due to the lemon law. They refused. They told us if I had a problem to call their corporate office. DO NOT JOIN THIS CLUB! They only care about taking your money and will lie at any cost to do so. No customer service. AVOID THIS PLACE. Im going back to my previous club.
Good variety of equipment and free-weights, and the best personal trainers in town.
If you like a dirty smelly gym this place is for you. Ive asked about cleaning and it simply rarely happens. Walk in and smell the place. Ive contacted management and nothing has changed.
I started a training program with Tammy, for my son who has some learning disabilities. She is doing an awesome job with him. He is engaged, happy and improving his physical appearance. He will be more than ready for high school both physically and emotionally when Tammy has completes her work with him. (P.S he just turned 14 with some balance and coordination issues).
Clean, good selection of workout equipment. Some machines are older than others, but all are functional. It would be nicer if the staff actually did something or spent their time organizing the weights instead of just sitting near the front desk on their phones
I have been a member for almost a year now. This place is always clean. I have the most amazing personal trainer Amanda. The entire staff is super helpful and friendly. My daughter has the best time in the child care. They have the sweetest daycare staff.
I attend yoga classes with Tammy as our instructor. She makes sure we challenge ourselves at our own skill level. Great teacher as she explains each move and what benefit it has. Each class may vary in pace and moves which keeps it interesting and new! I have learned so much. Thanks Tammy!
Been going to Xsport for a couple of years some of their machines are old but still good, a great gym to go to for training. Ive been training with Tammy for a couple of months and shes helped me change everything ik about fitness. Shes wonderful and really knows what shes doing. She can train anyone from old to young. Hands down the best trainer there
I have been a member of XSport fitness for a few years and was convinced to step things up a notch with personal training. Tammy offered a complimentary first hour and I have been training with her twice a week for many months. She is very good at creating a customized workout and in tune with body limitations, previous injuries, and age. Her knowledge and experience come through in her always changing workouts. A great personality! It wasn’t until I started this training that I noticed a real change in my body definition and fitness level. Nice going Tammy and thank you for your care!
Dont go here much covid is a problem
Glad to see the management stepping up their game on the night shift employees, Isaiah is by far the best the young man is always cleaning asking how we are doing, always in a happy mood and ISNT sleeping or on his damn phone like a zombie like the last guy. Ive seen him wipe down the weights and put them back in place from others leaving them around and even spotted me a couple times! Hopefully he stays around great job guys!
Love the variety of machines! Is it possible to remove the carpet from the drinking fountain area? Smells so bad! Can members please put your weights back! Cool that you can put 6 plates on each side!!! But put your plates back!!!
I train with PAT in Xsport Darien. BEST TRAINER EVER! I used to weigh 60 pounds more and started my weight loss journey with just dieting and lost around 45 pounds initially. I had a lot of saggy skin because of this and did strength training for another year and a half, but not much changed. I started training with Pat after this. I saw more changes in just 2 months, compared to all training I had prior to that with other trainers. I started lifting more weights, toning up pretty fast and got to know how strong I actually am both physically and mentally! He recognizes your strengths, weaknesses and factors affecting your workouts and trains you harder so that you get the best possible outcomes. Id highly recommend him.
I have been attending “Toughen Up”, “Pure Strength”, and “Barreless” classes, taught by Tammy L. The classes are fun, challenging and never boring. Tammy is very encouraging and also watches carefully for good form during all exercises.Thanks Tammy!
Ive been coming here for years and while I always get a good workout in the staff is very, very bad when it comes to restocking paper towels, toilet paper, etc. Every day that Im there theres either no toilet paper in the womens bathroom or theres a paper towel dispenser thats empty. Sometimes theyre empty for days at a time before someone actually refills them. It gets old walking all over the gym to find paper towels or having to switch bathroom stalls because theres no toilet paper available. There are always plenty of staff members around so its strange to me that simple things like that arent getting done.
Let me start by saying the staff here is great, very friendly for the most part. However, I don’t know how it is so dirty! There is a moldy smell to the whole place too. I get that it’s a gym, but come on!
Just started a new membership about two weeks ago and also decided to sign up for a trainer, I met the new training manager Micheal and his team and it has been an awesome experience so far, Micheal has been 100% with helping me hit my goals, I started at 151lbs and within the The two weeks I’ve already lost 4lbs! Super excited and glad I made this decision and to keep moving forward :)
Jack M is probably one of the best trainers there is at Xsport! He’s absolutely amazing and knows exactly what he’s talking about when is comes to nutrition and workouts! If you are looking for a trainer you need to have jack!
Excellent place I like it
Worth for $10 per month.
This is an extremely affordable gym, however you really get what you pay for. I run into the same issues time after time: no paper towels in the dispensers to wipe down machines, spray bottles for paper towels always empty, smelly weight area, especially by the free weights, no soap in the showers, etc. To summarize, this place is usually always under maintained to a certain degree and feels grimey. I suggest management create a better hourly maintenance routine which allows for members to feel they are working out in a clean establishment. If they cleaned the place up and made sure cleaning supplies were stocked, I would have no problems with this gym.
This is the second time I’ve been had a problem canceling my membership with them. It shouldn’t be this stressful. And they refused to refund the full amount taken from my card after canceling.
Worthwhile work out facility that doesnt attempt to be more than advertised. It lives up to the hype. Often surpassing, but never claiming
Same as any other Gym..oh yeah they NEVER close! Parking and crowd acceptable. Annual reasonable. Did I mention you will never be thinking..oh its 7 on a Saturday and my LA fitness is closing in an hour..
I do personal training with Tammy and also attend some of her strong fitness classes. This is my first experience personal training and I am glad Tammy is my trainer! She helps motivate me and shows me different workouts/stretches that I can do on my own. I feel like I have learned a great deal from her and am more motivated to attend the gym. I absolutely love her boxing class! I get to release so much stress from the day by punching/kicking it out on the bags! Overall, I have had a great experience personal training with Tammy and would recommend it to those who need a kickstart in motivation to attend the gym!
Great gym - love the group fitness classes, especially Zumba!
The air in this place is stale. Seems like there is not good enough air circulation because most of the times as soon as you walk in you cant escape the smell of sweat.
Not busy, the usual sunday crowd is not here, clean but the staff have to enforce masks. 2 young men came in not wearing masks.
Coach and people there are great, but as with all the gyms the devil comes out when you try to cancel. You have to mail something to corporate and corporate just keeps asking for more and more stuff, not to mention 10-15 minutes hold times. On top of that, they ask for everything to be sent by mail, you cant fax or email. Just intentionally trying to make it painful to cancel.
I’ve been a member at x-sport fitness since 1996( formally powerhouse) I’ve worked out at several locations Downers Grove * Laura is awesome!Emily at Naperville works in the spa and she always remembers my name and has my appointment all ready for me. Bolingbrook, State Street, and pipers Alley all great!This morning I went to Darien at 5 am and was greeted by a very energetic Julian. He was enthusiastic to welcome me at 5 am and smiling. Jordan is the new general manager and since he’s been there the gym has friendlier staff, it’s clean, organized, equipment is working and the spa area is inviting.If your looking for a great gym check out X-Sport FitnessOpen 24/7 365 days.
Lots of weights. Good equipment. Down side it can get packed sometimes and not a lot of room.
The reason im giving 5 stars is solely due to Two people in particular here. Tammy (personal Trainer) and Jordan (general Manager). Jordan is always greeting members and guests with a smile and a upbeat personality. Always accomodating and willing to help.Tammy- is without a doubt THEE most KNOWLEDGDABLE and PERSONABLE trainer taht they have on staff. She is beyond well versed in all aspects of fitness, yoga, pilates, speed, agility, strength etc. I am a competive bodybuilder and with out a doubt would go to her IMMEDIATELY for help. Shes been able to correct my hip and shoulder ROM and Mobility, provide cues to perform lifts better, and jsut over all CARES ABOUT HER CLIENTS. She DOES NOT play with her phone, she DOES NOT talk to members while witha client (people forget the word PERSONAL in Personal Training). There isnt one negative thing i can say about this lady. Shes one of a kind. Dont just read my review, go see for yourself and getyourself on track to a better you !
Ive been to multiple fitness centers, and Xsport in Darien never gets old. At times it gets busy, but there is plenty of room to improvise and still get your planned workout in. If you are a committed to working out, the staff will remember you making your experience even more pleasant.
A decent gym. The price is not too bad. Some of the aerobic exercise machines need to be replaced.
I love working at the gym and it’s the best job i had at Xsport
Just nowI love seeing Julian as soon as I walk through the door he has a huge smile and makes me feel absolutely comfortable I love coming here to workout and then speak to Julian to free my mind from the darkside of life.. I ❤ Julian he makes xsport
This gym is great, especially the staff. Everyone offers a friendly greeting and smile when you walk in. If you have a question about the equipment they are happy to help out. I really enjoy going to group fitness classes, especially Tammys 11:15 Monday morning TRX class. Id love to see more lunchtime/afternoon classes during the week. Also, take advantage of the Strong program. I go jump around to a few different Xsport Fitness locations and Darien is the only location where Ive seen it. Small groups = harder work outs and more accountability. The Strong instructors that I work with, Amanda, Donnie, and Tammy, are incredible; youll continue to feel these work outs days later.
When they get youre credit card info they keep charging it long after youre membership expires. ..I had to cancel the card after many promises to correct the charges,scam city baby! Check your statements. Also smells like sweaty armpits, needs a good remodel as well as fumigation process
Have been with Michael Lazzari who is a manager and personal trainer at Xsport in Darien and I absolutely cannot be any happier with my decision on getting a personal trainer at this location. It has been a few weeks now since I have started working with Michael and I am seeing much more progress in my physique and also learning how to properly count macros as well as learn proper form when training. Best decision I could have made and love working with my trainer! Def recommend!!
Julian was a great help and made my gym experience great
Canceled my membership multiple times, went in and sat down with the manager who assured me the membership was cancelled. However, according to my account, the gym is still charging me. Now, they have a new manager. Great. I am now sending my second letter to corporate (this time certified). Its ridiculous that this place makes it so hard to cancel.
The worst. Cancelled my membership today. This location is a ghetto as it gets for health clubs. The men’s locker room smells like a toilet. The facility is a mess and falling apart. Employees are too busy looking into their cell phones to take interest in customers. Final straw was today, only one drinking fountain in the whole dump and it was broken.
I love the TRX class on Monday at 11:15am. It is called something else now, so it won’t say TRX. Tammy Lusk is the instructor and she designs it for all levels, working at your own individual pace.It’s a wonderful class because the whole body is targeted. This class creates great muscle definition without stress to the joints. Everyone there is friendly and always welcoming to newcomers.
I joined Xsport Darien a few months back. I followed Kim Hardy when she got hired here. Iv been taking her classes for years. She is one of the best instructors out there. I love her classes. I love her Muscle Strength class/ her amped arms, abs and butt/ and now most recently her Boot Camp class. She is friendly energetic and gives you one of the best workouts out there. You will definitely feel sore from taking one of Kim’s classes. She is a great addition to Xsport
Clean and organized, helpful staff.Not too busy if you don’t come during rush hours, which is good!
The great thing about a big gym is the abundance of equipment. The downside is that at peak hours, its a bid crowded. I remedy this by using the gym at weird hours. The membership is pretty affordable.
I drove 30 minutes to go workout using the 7 day free trial. I called ahead of time to make sure I didnt drive out there for nothing. They confirmed I could use it.When I arrived they said they had no more passes to give and said they couldnt do anything about it. Even though there was hardly any one there, they still wouldnt let me work out for the day even though I drove all that way.Dont give this business your money.
The gym itself is great but don’t trust these people with your credit card. I paid for tanning for 2 months and decided to cancel back on July 7th because I wasn’t using it. Checked my credit card statement in August to find out they have still been charging me for it. So I called up and talked to the manager Jordan Poremba who said he would take care of it and Makesure I got a refund. I emailed him a copy of my cancellation sheet and he said he would do the rest. He didn’t do anything about it, I’ve been charged 4 times since cancelling and Jordan just chooses to ignore my emails. I loved the club and the equipment but I’ll never go back or spend another dime with xsport after this. It’s a very unprofessional way of handling business Xsport.
Great honeycomb hideout....All the staff are very welcoming and helpful..... So far best xsport here in Darien
When i brought my guest, they helped him a lot so thats the good part . Overall, I paid a dollar for the spa deal which never happened, instead I got charged extra for that each month. I had to call four times to get my refund and never got a dollar refund for my spa situation .This was a highly upsetting experience. I wasnt verbally told that there was a ten dollar cancelacance fee either .I wouldnt recommend this gym to anyone who may not want the stress of cancellation process. Make sure that youre checking your debit or credit card!!!
This is my first xsport . Great gym and very clean. Could be bigger.
The smell!!! Omg I know its a gym but please do something about the god awful smell in here! I think there is some kind of mold infestation or its just poorly ventilated. Ive never been to a gym where the air is heavy with a rancid smell. It is off putting and makes it hard to breathe during my workout. I think its a health hazard. No complaints about staff & machines. I also need to cancel at the end of the month and am anticipating it will be difficult, per every xsport (change the policy please).
I dont know where to start. Today I went at the gym and there was no one to watch the kids at the play area. I asked the manager are they going to have someone and he said that assistant manager will stay with the kids today, he got certificate about it. I left my 10 months old baby at the kids play area and told to the assistant manager that she is little and to watch her to dont pick up something from the floor( because there is always food, the carpet is never clean, beforeI signedmy membership Lucas told me that they clean the kids play area 2 times per day- LIE).Also before I left, I told him is she starts crying to let me know.After one hour I went back to pick up my kid, I was shocked!!!!! The person that was taking care of the kids was on his phone and my baby girl ( 10 months old) was eating crayons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!All her face and mouth was in different colors. I am afraid the she will get poisoning.He didnt even notice what she was doing.I wanted to talk with the manager but he was bisy, I gave the call at the gym again trying to talk with him, and they told me he is still not available.I dont know what to do, only good thing about this gym are Kims classes!I regret that I paid my two year membership.( sorry for mistakes and misspellings)I am still in shock!!!!
Understaffed and extremely dirty. The bathrooms are a complete disaster. And the paper towels are always out. Machines of out of order will remain unrepaired for weeks. The only good things are friendly staff and reasonable price.
Love Xsport and have happily been a premium member for years- but this location is disgusting. I expect it to be less clean than the nicer locations in Pipers Alley, Naperville and Downers Grove - but this place is filthy. Often no toilet paper in women’s locker room, out of paper towels for 2 days now, dust bunnies so big you can see them across the locker room and garbage that’s been on the floor for 2+ days. The gym itself is also dirty. 2 days ago the front desk attendant was sleeping when I came in. This place needs new management. Gross.
This gym taught me that there is no free lunch. Be careful with the 30 days money guarantee. If you dont like it, do not sign for the gym at all.
Everyone was extremely helpful when signing up. I just wanted to switch to a 24hr gym with 130-150lb DB. They were very accomidating on pricing and assisting me. Highly recommend this location over the findley one. Million times better experience and cleaner location.
Rip off! Stay away! The locker rooms smell like a decaying corpse is hidden somewhere + try to add Maintence fees to my Membership! Bs.
Equipment is okay, can be pretty packed during the day. Definitely gets the job done.
Falsely accused and banned of fighting with a sales person on a Monday afternoon working 30 miles away. Reached out to the corporate office and resolve the matter and didnt even get a response. I cannot recommend this gym or company.
Xsport has really improved their service. Even though their sign on is slightly misleading. For 10$/month, and $50 yearly fee (even though this is charged 2months after signon). For what you pay you get good equipment and a decent changing room. Some machines break but the always have others of the same kind that are working.
Good selection of equipment and spread out well, the place is usually clean including the locker rooms, which are nice albeit small. However, its usually very crowded and as of recently there are limited guest hours, which is annoying.
Great club. Kick boxing class on Tuesday evening rocks.
I canceled my membership 2 minths ago at this location and i just saw that money hae been deducted from my busines account.Since i already have all the paperwork as a proof, in the next week or so you ll be talking to my lawyer.
Great location, confusing set up
My mom signed up and cant afford it. So, I took her in to cancel her membership less than 24 hours after she signed up. The first person we talked to said he canceled the membership. He lied and didnt cancel anything. So, a week later I had to take her there again to cancel. This time we walked out with cancellation papers. Now, today she got a phone call from some lady reviewing her cancellation that told my mom she has to visit the gym three more times before she can cancel and also has to write a letter if she wants to get her full refund. Xsport reps are con artists and trying to take advantage of my mom and its really pissing me off. Stay away from Xsport.
Nice place to visit & very good service
Older equipment but well maintained.
Good service and a great place to work out at
We are Xsport New York members and its such a pleasure to visit there Chicago clubs, when we let the staff know we were out of towners they went the extra mile to make us feel at home, thanks Darien Chicago! And thanks to the G.M Ernie, Frankie and the whole xsport team!
I started training with Johnny about a month ago, and I have never felt in better shape.
Love the instructors and classes.
They dont ask questions very nice and amazing place
Go after work all the time, friendly staff and have all the equipment I need. Looker rooms need to be better maintained and cleaned.
To enter the gym for a day is 20 dollars...for the day. Just called the xsport in Lombard to enter the gym is 10 dollars don’t let the employees steal your money at the location in Darien.
175 for membership and another 25 for a quest??? ill quit asap. i ahve a trouble to make that 25 at that time and my friend was force to leave the gym ..they were like: We are sorry there is nothong we cam do..but when its time to collect the money they are real predators . shame on u xsport darien.... i will no longer recommended u to my friends because one of my friend was planning to becone a member but i dont let him do it because ill quit at my next day within 30 Days!!!! SHAME ON U XSPORT
Xsport seems to me like a complete scam. i have the worst experience with them i have ever had with any other company. i honestly think they are worse than Comcast. Thank you Xsport for scamming me out of and taking my hard earned money. Not that anyone elses hard earned money is less important but when your a single mom of 3 and your just trying do the little that you can for yourself to be healthier to take of those kids, that last thing you need is a greedy, for -profit gym taking advantage of you just to get those sales.So i joined on 10/21/16. I was talked into a personal trainer package deal. Yes i am a little bit at fault for being gullible. i had explained i have never actually worked out in my life and i need to get healthy. i was convinced that i needed to learn the proper form and way to do exercises correctly so i get the benefit and dont hurt myself, which sounds reasonable and truthful. that i will not deny. i did explain that i did not want to start right away because i just want to get in the habit of fitting gym time in my schedule. i am a single mom of 3. i was told i should do the 1 free training consult and go from there.i paid a certain amount upfront which was supposed to be the downpayment for the training sessions and my first month membership. a week later i was charged for my monthly memebership, then 2 weeks after that i was charged 9.95, which im now told is a annual memebership fee. i was never even told that there was a annual fee. and it hadnt even been a month since i joined let alone a year.The training sessions i bought a package of 24 because i was told it lowered the price by $15 per session. its supposed to come out in bi-weekly payments. they have been taking them out on the wrong weeks. i talked to the supposed manager 2 weeks ago and was supposed to get a call back. i never did. i call back today to be told the guys name i had written down was wrong i actually talked to a steve not a mike and steve no longer works there and that is why i did not get a call back. now im waiting on corporate. i told the manager mike today i no longer want to do the personal training. he says that is technically a contract and i cant return them! I was never told any such thing. How are you going to charge me for something im not even using? i was never told it was a contract. i was told i was signing to approve the automatic debit from my account for the bi-weekly payments.And i was charged again for today for my monthly membership. which i joined exactly a month ago but have now paid 3 times.Xsport seems to me like a complete scam. i have the worst experience with them i have ever had with any other company. i honestly think they are worse than Comcast. Thank you Xsport for scamming me out of and taking my hard earned money. Not that anyone elses hard earned money is less important but when your a single mom of 3 and your just trying do the little that you can for yourself to be healthier to take of those kids, that last thing you need is a greedy, for -profit gym taking advantage of you just to get those sales.
