University Fitness

The machines are old and often broken down. The place usually smells really bad and is never very clean. The people at the desk are usually pretty nice, though. The membership is cheap in comparison to a lot of places, but the selection of machines (especially cardio and treadmills) really is poor. It's obviously that the owners don't believe in buying new equipment or investing in their business. The place really needs some serious renovation and better upkeep.My only advice is don't expect anything too amazing. After all, you do get what you pay for.

If you're a student or you live in the University district and want to get fit, this is the place for you. This is body beautiful on a budget. It's a no-frills place with plenty of equipment, at least one available treadmill any time of day or night and friendly staff. Bring your own lock to lock up valuables. Showers are small but adequate.

PROS: Affordable for budget as well as calorie watchers
CONS: no frills; pedestrians can walk by and gawk

This is a popular and affordable health club. They have a couple of floors of fitness equipment. Unfortunately, the equipment is right next to the windows so anyone walking or driving along Roosevelt Avenue can see you! The trainers are good and professional. The locker facilities are clean and adequate.
