Having worked out at gyms ranging from East Bank, LaSalle Club, Equinox to the local YMCA, I believe that Galter Life Center is a "Diamond in the Rough when it comes to workout facilities in Chicago. There simply isn't a workout facility in Chicago that compares to the breath and scope of Galter Center. Their offerings in programs, their focus on health and well-being, their professional and pleasant staff coupled with their ability to listen and adjust their programming to respond to their members needs is unparalleled. Reasonably priced, professional staff, clean, wide range of equipment without waiting for machines and a very attentive and pleasant staff all make my experience there one that keeps me going back.

If your looking for a gym to preen in, blare loud hip music or be surrounded by only upscale WASP's this is not your club. If you care about your health, embrace diversity and want a diverse, welcoming, professional club: this is it! There's a reason they were named "Best Chicago Fitness Facility" last year.
