Been going here for a little over three years now. The gym is fantastic, the staff is friendly, and I haven’t had any issues while working out there. I prefer going early in the morning on the weekends, and it’s usually not busy at all.

We visited Classic Bodyworks while staying in Chesterton for a couple days to see the dunes. Getting a day pass was easy as the gym had staffed hours outside the normal range, allowing us to come in a little later in the afternoon. It is huge! It was clean, well organized, with a very extensive range of equipment, machines old and new. Awesome place. It was pretty busy but we were there between 5 and 7 pm. The music was great too.

Stopped in for a day pass while traveling and couldn’t have been happier. I have been to many private and military gyms throughout the world and Classic Bodyworks easily ranks in the top three. If you know equipment, you will know they have nice stuff. Texas and Rogue deadlift bars on both platforms. Rogue powerlifting bars in the racks. The only downside is they don’t allow chalk. I know it’s tough to clean, but those really nice bars are made for a chalked grip. That’s minor stuff, though. This is way better than a big corporate, chain gym. Support a local business that is really nice!

I've been coming here for years. It's a great environment with numerous weight machines, free weights, cardio equipment and a lot more. It's a very friendly and family oriented establishment that is open 24hrs, 7 days a week. They also have free child care during the day and a fair priced membership!! Definitely recommend!

Honestly the best gym around for the price. It's open 24/7, 30$ a month, and the atmosphere is extremely motivating, and gives off a different vibe than most franchise chain gyms. It's great for beginners, as well as seasoned athletes and gym goers. If you're looking to get access to more equipment, and take things to the next level, or just start out with the best place possible to meet your goals, this is it.

All the new 1 star reviews are spam of one girl's negative review and not reflective of how the gym actually is-- nor are they from actual members. As a woman who's been a member for years I've loved this gym more than any other I've been apart of. Locally owned and has all the stuff. 10/10 recommend.

The best gym around amazing people that own it and the people who work there I’ve been going there for over 4 years now everyone has always been very nice and helpful there they have a ton of machines and equipment there everything you could possibly need always very clean it’s just the best one around you will never find another gym comparable to them! If someone’s on a machine that you want and you ask if you can get your sets in in between there’s no one has ever had a problem with that very nice people there there always willing to spot you if you need a spot or if you need help with anything they are always willing to help out I could never ask for a better place it’s like family there everyone has everyone’s back love this place will never go anywhere else I always refer them to lots of people and they feel the same way amazing place and people! Thank you Al for having the best place around and letting us all share the amazing experience there your a wonderful person and we all love you and thank you for that 5 plus star you deserve!!!

This is what happened to a friends wife.
Yesterday a man approached my woman in the gym about her getting on a machine that was not in use. He was talking with his friend 20’ away without a bottle or sweatshirt left behind to hold a place then proceeds to demand to keep using the machine she just got to.

The gym acknowledged after reviewing cameras his approach was aggressive and inappropriate, they acknowledged this shouldn’t have happened. They also said that my woman’s response was aggressive and she should’ve just let him run all over her and to not have defended herself basically.

As a woman being approached by a man who clearly is on steroids with eyes bulging out in an aggressive way she’s supposed to back down and leave so he can do what he wants to do. This man was intimidating not only her but the worker was laughing because he didn’t know what to because he was young and intimidated as well.

We asked the owner of the gym for his membership to be canceled because my woman does not feel comfortable working out there after the incident. it is the gyms stance that even though he was wrong they will not cancel his membership. I stated he could’ve went on talking with his friend for another couple mins while another person could get a set in, but instead he acted the way he did. Despite his inappropriate actions nothing is getting done.

We left with my woman balling her eyes out for the second time and my shoulder soaked from holding her in the parking lot. I walked back in to cancel and the owner was laughing about it to his worker at the counter until he saw me. He made it clear that he wasn’t going to do anything about it and that he was ok with us leaving, my friends leaving, and my family leaving. I started a membership there 12 years ago roughly and have never had an issue with anyone there until now.

The owner stated It’s a male dominated gym and they’ve made it clear it is going to remain that way.

Edit - don't let the people reviewing today have any Merritt on what you think of this gym. One person had a bad experience with another gym member, NOTHING ABOUT THE GYM and they shared on FB, now people are spamming negative reviews. Classic is awesome, best gym around.

Al and the whole staff really care about their members. Gyms don't get better than this!

Great gym with plenty of machines and friendly staff. Prices are also affordable. I started there years ago when the fee was only $24/month. Prices have gone up a bit since then, but not necessarily a deal breaker. The best thing is that the gym is open 24 hours, so you can go workout anytime. Plenty of cardio machines and three squat racks. They also have two deadlift platforms, which is truly awesome. The only bummer is that they only have one bathroom stall, which in some circumstances can be problematic. Overall a great gym.

Be careful.... they don’t tell you the contract is binding to the point that if your company relocates you or you move and just are no where close to the gym, they won’t let you cancel. They also make no mention of an 80 dollar maintenance fee they charge every year. Oh and when you call to talk to them they never get back to you like they say!!!!! Terrible gym and terrible people especially for claiming to be Christians!!!!!

Wish I could give zero stars but it won’t let me. The people here are impossible to work with. My company transferred me two hours away and when I contacted this gym about it to see what could be done with my contract they never would get back to me with an answer. So now I’m stuck paying a gym membership for a gym two hours away and the people here don’t care that I am unhappy with their services. I will never recommend this gym to anyone and I will personally never be going back!

Best gym in NWI hands down. Alan started Classics, as an old school Powerhouse Gym and built it ground up. A place where all are welcome and everyone blends together as a family. Best place to to train or exercise. Check it out.

Updated review:

My previous review lamented that the only option for membership was a 1 year commitment that could not be cancelled early, regardless in change of living situation (specifically, moving out of state). The business owner promptly responded to my review, letting me know that there was also an option to pay in full for terms shorter than a year. I do wish I had been informed of that when I called as I have already signed on with another local gym. Three stars for courteous and prompt, albiet sadly too late, response.

I signed a contract with this gym. I was new to the area. I went on the tour. I thought it was a cool gym, not very modern with their equipment but I liked that it was a Christian gym. Felt good seeing my favorite scriptures on the wall. Usually, I stick to big chain places like xsport and la fitness but most people I met recommended it, so I gave it a try. Big mistake. 3 months go by and I had to move because the landlord couldn’t fix the heat in the apartment I was renting. There isn’t another classics gym near me, i am now about 60 miles away. I called and explained this to the person at the desk and I was told someone would give me a call back. Weeks went by, no call...so I called frequently but seemed to always get a voicemail. I left detailed voicemails with my contact information and nature of my call but my call was never returned. A few months go by and I’m still getting charged. Today, January 20,2018 I call and finally reach someone different. She explains regardless of circumstance i am still bound by this contract. She stressed that it was explained that it was a binding unbreakable contract. Who would sign that, if that was actually explained. After some back and forth, I requested to speak to the owner because he laid out, if I have any issues feel free to talk to him... I was told that he will just pass on the matter to someone else and won’t contact me lol. So much for being a good Christian. Business is business. Wow. Confused, I explain, there is no way I can frequent the gym that is so far away and there isn’t another gym owned by classics near me. Xsport and la fitness have this clause in their contract, if you have to relocate and there isn’t a gym in a reasonable traveling distance, you are released from the contract, so I was confused to learn why they didn’t. In total, I am liable for 9 months of a gym I no longer have access to. I’ve decided to just pay the rest of the contract and be done. Take it as a lesson. I advise readers to stick to what they know. There are other gyms that are modern and offer better amenities. I strongly suggest you choosing a bigger chain. Not very Christian bro but Proverbs 26:11-12. Thanks for the lesson.

really shoddy gym with terrible management, the managers will dodge your questions and be condescending. The place looks and feels dirty with old equipment. when things break other old equipment is used to replace it

The equipment is fine however the staff and management is terrible, I tried paying my fees in cash so I could avoid late fees from my bank and two managers told me I wasnt allowed to pay in cash. When I asked one of the managers to speak to the owner she said I couldnt talk to him about it and that he was getting ready to work out and that if I wanted to pay cash she would cancel my contract and charge me an extra 50 dollars(even though this wasnt part of the contract, she just didnt want to deal with me). After getting late fees that I was trying to avoid in the first place they tried pulling money from my account everyday and tacking on 15 dollars a day in late fees not to mention my overdraft fees. I finally got a more level headed employee to take my cash but I had to pay the for the whole year in cash and all the late fees at once. Avoid these guys at all costs they just want to give you fees and take it straight out of your bank.

I travel a lot for work and find it difficult to find well managed gyms in the areas I go to. I was extremely happy from the time I called to see if they give one day passes to the time I got done with my workout there. The general manager was very professional and nice. They have a good dumbbell, freeweight and hammer strength type machines there. They also have a good selection of cardio equipment. Everywhere you look there is motivation on the wall. When I was here there were a wide variety of people. Not just the everyday lifters. So it's no intimidation to anyone new to the fitness life. I 100% recommend this gym. Get to a better you!

The Good: Sufficient amount of equipment that is usually maintained. Friendly staff.

The Con: I stopped going to Classic Bodyworks because I was relocated for work. Before I left I forgot to cancel my gym membership. Two months later my credit card on file expired. Classic called me to let me know that my monthly payment was not processed and that I have to come current or face collections. I called several times to cancel my account and pay for the month that I was late, but only received voice mail to which I left several messages stating that I want to cancel my membership. The next month I received another message from Classic saying I was two months behind. When I called back, again I was only ready to reach voicemail. When I finally got ahold of someone they told me I had to complete a written cancelation form in order to cancel. I provided them the cancelation letter and was required to pay three months membership (that I didn't use) and two NSF fees in order for them to cancel the membership. Without making payment in full, they would continue to charge my account monthly. Reluctantly I paid the balance due because I was told they would not process the cancelation until the account was paid in full. Classic tries to hold themselves out a Christian business, but they have no compassion in their business practices. I wouldn't go back.
