My “home away from home” for training when traveling for work. Clean, good lighting, great equipment selection, nice staff and the perfect vibe! Also they are staffed at 5am weekdays so I can get a day pass and lift in hours before other gyms open.

This a great gym if you love cleaning up after other people. It’s infuriating how careless members are with regards to putting weights away. The pictures were taken in the same week and reflect what happens on a regular basis.Don’t get me wrong, Brickhaus has a really solid selection of equipment. The issue is that management turns a blind eye to members who trash the place. As a result, the gym is consistently a mess and members are left unaccountable.It really is disappointing because Brickhaus could be an awesome gym.

Old-school Iron pump house. Im Active Duty and Was in town for the holidays, and they took care of me. I intentionally drove 35 minutes for this kind of atmosphere and was not disappointed. Definitely my daily goto gym when I'm visiting my hometown.

I love this gym, the people here and the equipment. I forgot my headphones though today and the music is killing my workout. 80s hair band ballads non-stop. Jesus man.Still 5 stars though.

I was traveling through the Chicago area and stopped by Brickhaus Fitness for a workout. The staff was very friendly and the gym had good equipment for serious lifters. This is a bodybuilders ideal gym. I had a great workout and highly recommend this facility!

This gym is a decent gym. It has its pros and cons.Pros:-- There's a lot of equipment. There are really no complaints I have about the gym lacking machinery needed to work out a certain muscle or muscle group. The gym absorbed the equipment from Retro Fitness when it closed, so it has a variety of machines. They even have an area with punching bags, which is nice, even if I don't use them personally.-- Hours. While the gym isn't open 24/7, the hours are still nice, being open until 11 pm on weekdays and 10 pm on weekends. Although I wish they'd stay open till 11pm on weekends.-- The gym is big. The gym has two main areas connected by a hallway; the front and back of the gym. There's also a small room with some exercise equipment in it.-- Locker rooms. The gym has decent locker rooms with locker storage, showers, and toilets. These are a newer addition to the gym, and not having them before wasn't the most convenient.-- Location. This really only applies to me, but the gym is a block away from where I live, so the proximity is convenient.Cons:-- Very crowded certain times of day. The high occupancy usually dies down in the evenings after 8 pm or so. Weekends are less crowded than the weekdays.-- Lack of maintenance. The machines are constantly dusty, the padded parts of machines and benches are ripped or torn frequently, and the walls of the gym below the mirrors are busted up with holes and nicks all over the place.Two machines were previously missing their pins, so to use them you had to steal a pin from another machine, causing the pinless machine to rotate throughout the day. It was that way for several months and no one that worked there ordered new pins (makes me think no one was maintaining the machines otherwise it would've been noticed) so I ordered my own and brought them in. You're welcome Brickhaus.Cable machine clips go missing a lot too. People like to remove them and throw them where ever, making it hard to find them when I need them. I would appreciate the gym maintaining the machines by zip tying the clips to the cables so that they can't be removed. I also had to buy my own and bring them to the gym because I was tired of not being able to find clips in order to use the cable machines. Again, you're welcome Brickhaus.To be fair, though, when a cable machine breaks or a padded part of a machine completely tears, the gym is pretty quick to get it repaired, which is nice.--Lack of supervision/Culture. Male teens and twenty-somethings often take off their shirts and flex or work out shirtless in the back area of the gym. It wasn't a problem until a few months ago. People started doing it and realized there were no consequences, so the frequency of it happening increased. Went from once in a while, to once a week, to now almost once a day. A lot of people go shirtless in the locker rooms or the small side workout room, which is fine. However staff does nothing about people going shirtless in the main areas. There's only one person running the place and they sit at the front desk, out of view of the back of the gym, unaware of what's going on.People also record themselves a lot on their phone, tripod, etc. so you may end up in someone's video in the background.

Awesome gym, clean and excellent equipment, this gym need to be back 24-7 so we don't have to see high-school kids, weight 110 lbs with broccoli haircuts, walking without shirts, thinking they are Mr.Olympia.

They have a ton of quality equipment and many uncommon implements to vary your workouts. The space is not huge but there are rarely instances where you cannot find a spot to complete your exercises.
