?? Awesome, gym- crossfit, Olympic weightlifting, personal training- plenty of open gym hours too! Don’t let the grunge looks fool you- they are welcoming, especially to furry friends.

I’m so thankful I joined this gym in 2022 as the community is incredibly welcoming and supportive. All of the coaches are very knowledgeable and bring their all to make it fun, always helpful in figuring out how to make a workout work for you. Everyone encourages each other and has a sense of humor, which makes helps me keep striving even when a workout feels challenging. I appreciate how I can accomplish several different goals within the same community - I attend olympic weightlifting classes with very detailed coaching and programming, attend CrossFit classes that are challenging yet scalable, and then come in pretty much anytime for open gym time when I want to move at my own pace. I’m also very thankful that my teenage daughter feels at home in this community and has benefited from personal training, customized workouts, and classes that have met her evolving needs as an athlete.

I go here for personal training and am really impressed with the coaches. My trainer Kris, is not only excellent at developing a plan and helping me stay motivated by making it interesting and challenging, he is kind and compassionate. I don’t do cross fit but feel very comfortable here. The people are so welcoming

SLSC is one of the greatest things about the south loop if not Chicago. There is a stereotype that crossfit is just flinging your body in an unsafe matter that is not the case at all. Coming in fairly new I started with elements to help me understand the basis of lifting and movements and was later integrated into classes. I have now been a member for 6 months and love it. Every single instructor is knowledgeable, present, and professional. Seriously I have never felt safer in the gym. The staff is damn near the Justice League. The community is friendly and the equipment is well kept and you never have to worry about quality. Everyone who is there wants to be there. If I could give infinite stars I would. Thank you so much for providing a safe and warm environment to workout!

Great gym with excellent staff. I use for personal training three times a week. Kris is an amazing coach who has helped me tremendously. I can not say enough good things about gym and staff.

I was teaching a summer program at UChicago and decided to venture into the city to try out South Loop. The facility is spacious, well organized, and the staff/members are extremely warm and welcoming. The coaching staff was knowledgeable and clear. Truly enjoyed my drop-ins there!

Best gym in midtown/edgewater. High energy and busy but never too packed that you can’t get a great workout in.

This is an excellent gym with ample space and every piece of equipment you’d need for a great workout. Great staff, great space, great equipment, and friendly and welcoming people. If you’re looking for one of the best downtown gyms in Chicago, this is your spot. Oh, and the bathrooms are great too!

The coaches and people are friendly, highly motivated, and great to workout with. Gym is very open and well circulated with high quality equipment. Classes are taught well with efficiency and push you harder than you ever would if you were to work out alone.

While attending the 2022 American Geophysical Union Meeting in Chicago, I was fortunate enough to have this facility available to work on my Weightlifting. The facility is clean, well-stocked, and well-run. Moreover, the people I met, particularly Kris, Mike, and Taylor, were welcoming, kind and encouraging. Though an outsider, I felt right at home. Is CrossFit or Weightlifting your shtick? Are you looking for a place to get a quick workout during open gym hours? In that case, I cannot recommend South Loop Strength & Conditioning enough.
