Great gym in heart of west loop! Has great mix of equipment and overall very clean. Even during busy hours, I can find machines, weights, and treadmills to use. If looking for training sessions, I would highly recommend Lola as a trainer!! She is awesome and tailors the program to exactly what you’re looking for. She takes the time to ensure it’s the right program for your goals and time. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!!!

This gym is great. It’s smaller with a more intimate and modern feel on the inside that definitely tries to cater to the people living in the city. Was the $40 day pass a little expensive? Yes. However, true gym goers only buy day passes when they need to pay for the convenience of being able to still get in a lift when they can’t go to their own gym. This gym was great for me because I could walk 15 minutes from where I work and it was significantly closer than any other gyms in the areas. It’s a smaller space but there’s PLENTY of equipment to hit your essential lifts. It’s downtown Chicago, so don’t expect the size of an LA or Lifetime. This is just a PSA for anyone looking to use the showers. The one on the left (if facing both showers) did take quite a few minutes for the water to get hot. Multiple factors could have played into this and I ended up just sticking it out and taking a cold shower due to time constraints. It DID get hot eventually. Overall, this did not impact my experience at MODE whatsoever. I would go again if I needed to and would recommend this location to anyone who needed a quick lift if they were in the area.

Stopped in while in town from, Cedar Falls Iowa, to get my KILO workout. Mode Gym had a great setup, clean, and well-equipped for serious training. Ruben at the front desk was super helpful and welcoming, got me squared away quickly and made the whole experience easy. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a solid spot to train in Chicago.

Best gym in Chicago and one of the best gyms in the world! It has everything including weights, bench press, punching bag, mirror room for dancing, classes, Pilates, anything, squat rack, and I could keep on going. Moe and the staff are great, the vibe is awesome, it’s a great place to pump iron and get your exercise in.

I tried the guest pass. Staff was very welcoming and even assisted me with some workout forms. I personally prefer this low-light atmosphere over LA Fitness and even EBC in downtown Chicago. The women’s locker room is well maintained and provides towels and hair dryer/straightener after your shower.it also included a steam room, so bring your own sandals if you want to step inside. Check this gym out if you are in Chicago. You won’t be disappointed.
