Moving; gym locations?

I%26#39;m moving to Chicago soon, specifically near the intersection of Ashland and Diversey. Is there a good gym near here? I%26#39;ve had a fantastic gym just around the corner for 4 years now, and I%26#39;d hate to get out of the habit. I was also wondering about the closest grocery stores, especially a Trader Joe%26#39;s or Whole Foods. Any input about this, or other things I should know about that will be close to me, would be appreciated! Thanks!



Moving; gym locations?


Take a look at Google Maps. You can see the area that you%26#39;re moving to along with what%26#39;s nearby.



Moving; gym locations?


There%26#39;s a nice gym at Belmont and Ashland, X Sport Fitness. That gym is directly across the street from a Whole Food Market. Parking is free for 2 hours with validation at the Whole Foods garage. There are other X Sports in the city that you can go to with that membership that are newer and nicer, too (if you have a car). One is at North and Wells. Same deal with parking there- free parking for 2 hours with validation at the gym. If you want to pay a little more, there%26#39;s also Lakeshore Athletic Club at Fullerton and Southport or Lincoln Park Athletic Club at Diversey and Sheffield.




Perfect! That just gave me a boost of inspiration to pack some more boxes. Do you have any input as to whether the Lakeshore Athletic Club is worth the extra $$? Thanks!




I%26#39;ve never been in Lakeshore Athletic Club to know if it%26#39;s worth the extra money. My guess is no.




I had an induction to this gym today funnily enough!





You can pay monthly for like $59, or $47 if you join with someone else. However, there is a compulsory $125 ';processing fee'; either way. The gym is pretty awesome though.





I came accross this page because I was trying to find somewhere cheaper!





There are a lot of gyms around the Lakeview / Wrigleyville area:





Sweatshop



Cheetah



World Gym





They all have websites. Check them out
