Usa Gym & Fitness Ctr & Co

Owned and operated by professional bobybuilder Chuck Sanow, this is not a ""pickup"" joint. It IS a gym. Tons and tons of weights, numerous benches and racks, a cardio area, tanning, posing room and more. Pros: Professional training, Roomy, VERY reasonable $$ Cons: Limited showers more

This is by far one of the best, back to basics, hard core gyms in the Chicagoland area. Membership fees are a bargain whether it's daily, monthly or annually. The gym is well equipped with plenty of weights and cardio gear to get a great workout. Tanning is available on site too. USA Gym is owned by Chuck Sanow, one of the countrys top amature bodybuilders and Illinois chairman of the NPC. The staff is friendly and helpful and not shy to strike up a conversation. Most members are dedicated regulars, men and women of all ages and walks of life who take their training seriously. Parking is plentiful. A little hard to find off of 100th and Harlem, but well worth it once you get there. Pros: Great membership fees, Easy parking Cons: One shower, small locker room more
