The Lincoln Park location has a private boxing room that adorably allows users the option to mute the music that is pumped in to every other room The Gold Coast location features a junior Olympic-sized swimming pool. The gyms offer multiple group fitness rooms, full-service spas, fancy shampoos and an array of cardio and weight training equipment. We did, however, get an excellent workout in an immaculate facility.Įquinox is engineered to feel luxurious and sexy, from its racy ad campaigns to its almost-creepy personal training marketing-copy, which asks readers to "donate your body to science." Equinox has four Chicago-area locations, and as far as high-end gyms go, Equinox is a gold-standard. We did not see anyone at Equinox's Lincoln Park gym using the stair-climber in heels or pumping iron in lingerie. No, working out for a day at Equinox did not make us want to go swimming in our underwear, eat paper money off our chiseled abs, join a cult, forget to put on a shirt before leaving the house or steal a cherub-like garden statue. Lakeshore Sport and Fitness is located in Lincoln Park at 1320 W. Also of note: Everything in the gym is orange, and we're told this is because the owner is a Princeton alum. The family-friendly gym has special membership prices for families, couples, single parents and young adults. Lakeshore's gyms have a lot to offer in the winter, too, thanks to indoor pools, the aforementioned rock climbing wall, and running tracks.

The rooftop pool and lounge area is mega relaxing and great for events our editor attended a college alumni mixer up there and came away convinced she needed to start a trial membership.

The four-story Lincoln Park campus stretches over 3.5 acres just off Fullerton Avenue, where guests can get a workout in, bring their families along for some kid-friendly fun and order food at a posh rooftop restaurant. The Lincoln Park location, for example, features 8 indoor tennis courts, 3 rooftop tennis courts, 2 outdoor paddle courts, 2 squash courts and one racquetball court. Lakeshore Sport & Fitness feels like a summer camp in the best way possible: indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a ten-story rock climbing wall (located at the Illinois Center gym downtown), a gorgeous rooftop deck (at the Lincoln Park location), and more sports courts than you can shake a tennis racket at.
