Reach Fieldhouse

Great gym for the price! I've been a basic member for around 4-5 months and couldn't be happier. You get a keychain for 24 hour access. Equipment is always available, even during typically busy times. It's never crowded and I can always do my workout quickly and efficiently. The other members are polite and conscientious. Overall very positive vibe. The appearance of the place is not exactly polished, but it is kept clean, especially the washrooms. They tend to fall behind a little on maintenance but they quickly address any member concerns. Some of the exercise equipment, particularly the stuff with built in electronics, doesn't always work well. If a particular cardio machine is central to your routine, check with the staff before you sign up. This hasn't been an issue for me since I mainly use the weights. I haven't taken any classes but they seem to be popular. People come from all over town for the boxing lessons which I do want to try out sometime soon.

When I first was looking to move to Chicago – a boxing gym was one of the primary requirements I had followed by location and so forth. Over the last 2 years or so this gym has drastically improved with full changing rooms, lockers, a place to flip tires and so much more! At the same time this gym is perfect for women and men. Plenty of classes where it’s a mixture of both. To add on – a lot of legitimate boxers come here to train and it’s fun to see what you could be one day. The owner and staff are really nice to everyone and coming here feels like everyone after time knows your name. Coming here is like joining a new family that all support you. They also have a lot of trainers available if you want a one on one but at the same time those trainers have no problem to just give you a couple tips here and there. They are looking to enhance the gym even more. The downstairs is fantastic as well – so much room and at feels often like you have the space all to yourself! They are pushing for more cross fit options and classes. Overall if you would like to work out and actually learn to box (not just hit a bag for the sake of cardio) this is your gym. I have tried many and this wins by far none!

Looks like a cool facility from outside. Tried to sign up but no one was ever there during their staffed hours and even when I called no answer or return call.

I’ve been a member here for years. I want to like this gym so badly, but the equipment and the building itself are visibly falling apart in real time. There have been multiple ceiling cave-ins during my time here and there are posted signs to not drop the weights—not because of the noise, but so it doesn’t cause the floor to collapse. It feels unsafe to be here, and is often physically uncomfortable due to the temperature inside and building debris and broken equipment strewn about. Equipment that breaks is not repaired or replaced, and sits broken or missing for months on end, which is frustrating (even acknowledging the affordable monthly membership fee). I hope management takes some proactive steps to get this place into shape, because the people here are lovely and it has the potential to be a great community spot.

This is a great gym if you know how to do your own thing with crossfit related equipment. Sadly, it is an old building and people upstairs keep dropping their weights ignoring all the signs telling them not to do it, the reason this review is low is because this is not enforced proactively and i'm afraid the roof will come down while working out in the basement. Tech bros really need to be told or else they'll literally bring the roof down
