Northbound Fitness Club - Spring Grove (IL)

austin bennett been going here consistently for a while now, don’t see the reason for any negative reviews. the workers are constantly cleaning throughout their shifts and are very friendly people. there’s more than enough equipment to get a solid workout in for every body part. for $25 a month there’s quite literally nowhere that can compete. any review saying that “half the stuff doesn’t work” sounds like operating errors because i’ve only ever came across 2 broken things and they were both fixed within 2 weeks. if you have reasonable expectations, this place will check every box. the improvements have continued to happen and make me even more hopeful for the future. (if you smell BO “all over the gym”, invest in some deodorant).

rich osten Friendly staff. 24 hour access.

Hannah Rutzinski Love this gym. Never too busy when I go, all the machines you could want, easy entry and super clean. Well maintenanced and they have a shower if thats your jam.

Jamie Lindquist To the Amazing Midtown Willowbrook Tennis Coaches, I’d like to start by saying I had never played tennis before—but something about the ad for Spring TNT caught my attention. I’m so glad it did! Coach Pete was incredible from day one, even though I missed half the classes. His kindness and encouragement made such an impression that I immediately signed up for the summer group classes. That’s when I met Coach Mana—also fantastic! I had to make up a class and ended up in Coach Jim’s session... wow! I had so much fun that I signed up for his class too. He’s been such an inspiration—without even trying. As the summer went on, I noticed how much weight Coach Jim had lost, and that motivated me even more. I’ve now lost 25 pounds! My journey didn’t stop there. My husband saw the changes and joined the club too. Now we’re both signed up for the next Fall TNT class with Coach Pete! Each coach has left a lasting impression on me, and I’m so grateful for the positive impact you’ve all had on my health, mindset, and overall lifestyle. Thank you, Midtown Willowbrook Tennis coaches—you’ve changed my life in the best way!

Ty 1 YEAR UPDATE: I left. They didn’t change or improve anything. 6 MONTH UPDATE: Free weights are still never organized by staff. Most of the time you see everybody working there sitting at the front desk when you come in. Also I’ve mentioned to them about broken equipment (treadmills) and lack of cleaning spray anywhere and neither item has been addressed/fixed. On the positive side you can always get on the equipment you want to even if it’s busy. Original Review Overall it’s a decent place for the price and not much waiting around for equipment. They have so much stuff stuck in the gym it’s hard to walk around and I’ve found stuff that’s broke that hasn’t been taken out of service or marked. They don’t go around and keep the weights organized (see picture). Also the guest passes are a joke, just throw them out. You can’t take someone more than once or a friend from out of town. Chicago is a place my friends would like to visit. I’ve never seen so many restrictions on one. Might as well not even have them. The person that signed me up didn’t inform me of any of the restrictions on the guest passes and was like “here you and your buddy can come together a few more times”

Nicholas Brown This is not a name brand gym. It is a place where people come to work hard, accomplish their goals and boost everyone around them.

jordan kapetanis This gym has a very friendly environment. The workouts range from beginner to experienced. Lots of equipment for a variety of workouts. Marc is a very dedicated and knowledgeable coach. He’ll be there to motivate and help achieve your goals. Drop in and come workout with us!

Natalie Osowski Best gym around McHenry County. Clean, excellent ownership, and always looking to do more or add more to a small town gym. Also very spacious and organized. Excellent spin class in the morning too! Thank God for the new ownership. Someone who cares and goes above and beyond.

Billy Bass Was a good stop in for some fitness while I was driving back from Chicago the Superman girls on the wall of the workout room were a really cool touch and the visit was free. They even have a sauna.

Amy Brooke Upchurch Awesome facility and awesome staff too! Ben is one of the best trainers I have ever had. Highly recommend personal training with him. If youre getting over an injury, want to challenge yourself, or just want to get in shape Second Chance Fitness is the place to go.
