Steenbean or anyone-Gym Rec?

I quit my gym in FL since we moved here, and now I don't have one. 

 I am looking for a gym/studio that has good spinning and or yoga classes and that isn't crowded..meaning if I feel like using any machines at 530, there won't be a wait 99% of the time!  lol...

 
I would prefer a gym, but if you have a studio rec I would appreciate that too!

Oh and if I could pay less than 100 bucks that would be preferable...

 

I live in Lakeview...

 TIA

Re: Steenbean or anyone-Gym Rec?

  • DH and I work out at the Xsport in Pipers Alley.  I know they have a location in Lakeview, but I am not too sure how busy it is at 5:30.

    They had a sign up deal when we joined so we are locked into a lower rate after our contract is over.  However, I think  the month to month rate is something like $45 right now.

  • I'm not sure how far Lakeview is but I go to the Prairie Stone Sports & Wellness in Hoffman Estates. It's way under $100/mo and never too crowded. Love their classes.

  • I really enjoy my gym, LA Fitness in Evanston.  They are a chain, so there might be one closer to you.  Their classes and instructors are fabulous, and I have never had a problem getting a treadmill right after work (around 5:30 PM).  HTH! :)
  • I have a membership at Rush Copley Healthplex which is in Aurora.  Not sure on the rates per month since I get a free membership.  They have their own spin and yoga studios. There are three studios and indoor/outdoor courts and two pools.

  • i belong to a fitness forumula club in lakeview. it is really nice. it is located on pine grove and waveland. there is also one on halstead a few blocks away.
  • I would check out the others' options since they are probably much closer, but I can tell you about the gym I work at. ?Lifetime Fitness is only in the suburbs, I work at the Old Orchard location which would only be convenient if you are near 94 b/c then you can shoot right up. ?It's definitely going to be on the more expensive side in terms of gyms, but there is a ton of equipment, three pools, four waterslides, a pretty good kids club, a spa, cafe, steam and sauna, etc. ?I find it to be fairly kid/family friendly and while it does get crowded, you will never have a hard time finding a treadmill. ?If you do come to check it out, let me know.

    ?

    I am going to get my hair cut with Jennifer today! ?I'm sooo in dire need so I'm pretty excited. ?I'm giving them your name as a rec, so hopefully you get something out of it!?

  • I think it is still there (haven't lived in lakeview for a couple of years) but you should try The Sweat Shop on Broadway and Belmont. It is very reasonable in price and I enjoyed their classes.
