Best gym in Chicago, hands down! This gym has all the weights you need. The clientele is also very friendly and accepting, so whether a you are beginner, intermediate, or well-seasoned lifter, there is a high level of support, unlike at some commercial gyms. People will also walk up to you and start a conversation. Overall, great place to train!

This is a great gym. I always get a great workout at all of their classes, and the instructors constantly push you to reach your maximum potential. I cannot say enough great things about this gym. The staff is super, and they are also very involved in the community.

I love everything the Chicago Barbell Compound represent. From the second you walk in, you know you're going to have to turn it up a level. Then you start to realize that you're surrounded by record breaking powerlifters and Mr. Olympia level bodybuilders and feel that there's no way you can go back to a commercial gym. Everyone is so nice too that you can pick their brains and change a few things about your technique that can help you increase your gains. This gym lives up to its reputation and you won't be disappointed!

This is a fantastic gym. I’m an early bird, so having 24/7 access is a great plus. Getting to the gym early in the morning and having all the equipment I need is great way to start the day.
