A no nonsense gym with great equipment, 24 hour access, and a supportive community of lifters. They have the best equipment I need to help me do what ever I need to do. Always a place where I am happy to be at.
Hard working staff keeps this place great. Over the years they keep expanding the gyms footprint. Many fitness options here (mostly weightlifting based), with a great and supportive cummity

Been hitting Chicago Barbell Compound for a few months now. The gym's got that no-frills, hardcore vibe—perfect for serious lifters. Open 24/7 with key fob access, so I can train whenever. The equipment is top-notch, and the community is welcoming. Only downside is the lack of group classes, but if you're into solo training, it's perfect.

Chicago Barbell Compound (CBC) is a great place to work out. I’ve been a member since February 2024. The gym is fully equipped with a range of stations and machines for every exercise. The people who attend this gym are always respectful and friendly. For example, asking for a spot from another member is always well received. The coaches are especially approachable. The facility is well kept and the cleaning crew is diligent. I highly recommend CBC to anyone in the area who needs a great gym.

Tons of equipment and space for any type of training (except maybe, TONS of cardio. If that’s your jam, just stick to a commercial gym). Signing up is easy, bringing guests for a day pass is easy, pausing membership is easy. Great community of members as well.

Great weight training gym to come in and get your workout in, even 24/7. No nonsense space with all the equipment you will ever need. Everyone is friendly and will even answer a few questions without any attitude. Will definitely be training here from now on

Came here with my personal trainer and loved the atmosphere. Everyone minds their business and is working towards their own goals. Way more machines than your typical commercial gym to achieve those gains. Gym lives up to the hype.

Best gym in Chicago, hands down! This gym has all the weights you need.
The clientele is also very friendly and accepting, so whether a you are beginner, intermediate, or well-seasoned lifter, there is a high level of support, unlike at some commercial gyms. People will also walk up to you and start a conversation.
Overall, great place to train!

This is a fantastic gym. I’m an early bird, so having 24/7 access is a great plus. Getting to the gym early in the morning and having all the equipment I need is great way to start the day.

I love everything the Chicago Barbell Compound represent. From the second you walk in, you know you're going to have to turn it up a level. Then you start to realize that you're surrounded by record breaking powerlifters and Mr. Olympia level bodybuilders and feel that there's no way you can go back to a commercial gym. Everyone is so nice too that you can pick their brains and change a few things about your technique that can help you increase your gains. This gym lives up to its reputation and you won't be disappointed!

I had a rather rigorous workout. No other gym compares to this place. It's like stepping into the strongman's tent at the circus freakshow, they have old and new machines alike, and every one is massive and effective at what it does.

Probably the best gym in Chicago, if you live on the north side and aren't training here you are doing yourself a disservice and leaving gains on the table. The atmosphere, the people, their mindset towards training, and the community they've built is unmatched.

While in town for NPC Jr nationals we were looking for a gym to get a workout in. The barbell compound was suggested by a friend and it was the best suggestion we could've received. If you are in the Chicago area and want a gym you can train in and bang some weights like the greats always trained in this is the gym for you. Upstanding people and an awesome environment, I will be returning every time I am in Chicago to train.
