It's a very large facility, - I took a day pass,l as I was traveling to Chicago and though it was pricey at a 100$ a day, it was surprisingly worth the experience. Steam and sauna were very well maintained too.

Lifetime has been a core part of my health & wellness journey. I joined this Lifetime right as it opened up and my experience only continued to improve over the years. I've made friends and I've been challenged but nobody has had a bigger impact on my fitness journey than personal trainer Wes Patterson. Wes is exceptional 10/10. He's knowledgeable, kind, funny, supportive and an overall good person. He has pushed me when I need to be pushed and encouraged me when I needed it. He created nutrition and weight lifting plan that worked around my busy corporate schedule and he educated me on how to properly use machines. If you're afraid of the gym, weights, "gym bros" or just nervous to get back into or start working out GO FIND WES! He will meet you exactly where you're at and go on the journey with you to where you want to be. Thank you Wes, you are truly a cut above the rest!

Lifetime was a huge part of my fitness journey—I loved the amenities, the people, the cleanliness, and the staff. But after relocating to the city, I was told my only options were to cancel or upgrade from $150/month to $300/month plus a $200 upgrade fee. As an 18-year-old who had been a loyal member for over a year and a half, I asked if they could waive the fee or work with me on the price. The answer was no to both. I reluctantly upgraded—big mistake. On my second day at the new location, the cold plunge was down, the water was murky but still open, and the pool license looked expired. Its ridiculous parking isn't included, and was never told the outdoor pool was extra. I also noticed that the water pressure in the showers are always low. For $300/month, I expected a premium experience. Instead, I got extreme disappointment. I’ll be canceling my membership and finding a gym that actually lives up to its price tag!

I joined this gym over the summer excited by what seemed like a great facility and experience. Unfortunately, over time, a number of issues have made me reconsider the value of my membership. When I first signed up, I was told by the salesperson that both of my roommates could be added as co-members on my account. However, when we arrived together, I was informed that only one additional person could be added—completely contradicting what I was originally told. This felt like a misleading sales tactic and was very frustrating, especially since one of my roommates was then unable to join us. The equipment is decent but nothing extraordinary—I’ve been to other gyms with much better setups for a fraction of the price. While the amenities are visually appealing, they don’t quite justify the high membership fee. That said, I will give credit where it’s due: the café is a really nice touch and one of the highlights of the facility. What ultimately led me to write this review was arriving today to find the gym completely closed due to a power outage. There was little communication about the situation, no clear timeline for reopening, and no word on whether members will be prorated for the days missed. For a gym of this price point, I expect better transparency and customer service. Overall, this gym has potential, but the lack of consistency and communication makes it hard to recommend at the current cost.

This newly added location in Chicago, belonging to the Lifetime brand, is truly exceptional. The gym floor's vast expanse is impressive and magnificent, featuring all the standard Lifetime sections and more. Additionally, there's an indoor and outdoor pool available for an extra fee, and the club remains open 24 hours in Gold Coast Chicago. The views from both the gym floor and the pool are splendid. Conveniently, there's a Whole Foods store on the ground floor, making it a comprehensive facility. However, there are some drawbacks. During weekend mornings, the gym floor can get incredibly crowded, often dominated by college groups or unknown gatherings, which can be bothersome for those trying to use the machines and bars. While they offer amenities like a cold plunge, sauna, and steam room, there's a need for better signage to educate members about proper behavior, such as not leaving towels everywhere. Furthermore, it's important for members to rinse or shower before using the hot tub or cold plunge, as wearing underwear or sweat-soaked sport shorts can introduce unwanted elements into the water. This practice can compromise the water quality, potentially remaining unchanged for an extended period of time.
