Decent equipment but no one and I mean no one puts weights away. I watched a number of trainers leave multiple plates on equipment. Their is one young woman who works every day and cleans up, she does a great job but the good look times stop there.

I go during the day so it isn’t too crowded …. But management sucks! They allow their own employees to not clean up…. I will never last here

Ai support, if you are regularly buyer, you get flagged that you are a repeat check-in person by their algo, and oh and have front desk lady who doesn’t understand and get the context for “oh dude is not trying to trigger their system” but get instead told off to “check in” when you start getting items before check in because apparently that’s “wrong”. This isn’t my primary and hours late are nice, but beyond hours - screw the place, most staff are nice, but hearing that is ridiculous. And stupid ai support too, u get what you pay for. Will find another 24/7 and call it a day.

I find it unacceptable that people are allowed to enter the sauna and steam room wearing dirty, sweaty clothes and shoes. The smell makes it almost impossible to stay inside, and it’s completely unhygienic. This should not be happening in a professional gym. Who is responsible for monitoring this and making sure everyone uses clean indoor footwear?

Be aware of their "scam-like" cancellation rules!!! I feel that my money was robbed!! I have to relocate to California due to work and was planning to transfer my membership to California because I want to keep going to the gym after I move to California. I reached out to their customer service. First of all, their respond was very slowly. I waited for an hour for someone to chat with me. The representative said that they don't have a location in California and asked me to cancel my membership and pay for $59.9, which includes next year's rate guarantee fee and next month's membership fee because of their 30 day notice period rule. Essentially THEY ARE ASKING ME TO PAY FOR SERVICE THAT I WILL NOT BE USING! I said I don't have a choice I am relocating to California for work and would love to transfer my membership to California, why sounds like you are penalizing me for extra money and force me to cancel just because you don't have a location in California? The representative said I can keep my membership but there is no location in California. How ridiculous is this? They just want me to continue paying without using their facilities. Keep in mind that please don't relocate to somewhere else or you will go through this nonsense.

Staff is 3/5 good but nothing memorable. They sometimes stand in the front when there's weights every where that people left so that would be nice. But my main gripe was i had a portable charger stolen from the squat area. I dropped it on the floor and came back and it was gone. They said I had to file a police report in order for them to look at the cameras? Kinda nuts but I'm not stressing that hard over a 20 dollar charger. But from what I heard from other people is that getting stuff stolen isn't t anything new.

One new thing is that you have these "bros" in tank tops and backwards hats park their crotch rockets near the entrance on the side walk revving LIKE PICK ME LOOK AT ME I NEED ATTENTION ILL CRY IF YOU DONT LOOK!!

Machines 4/5 some decent ones, but could've used some better picks for the ones they got currently. (The hack squat is a terrible machine)

Weight area 4/5 the only reason its knocked down is that the benches constantly get taken out of the area then there's people waiting for a bench. But shocked to see 150lb dumbbells

Weight lifting area 3/5 its great they have a lot of squat racks and platforms but some of the wood isn't properly bolted down so you get some good movements. Also the bars are all deadlifit bars?

Grass areas good stuff nothing crazy

Saunas: 4/5
It is CO ED! Just be prepared if some guys come in without a shirt and underwear leaving squat puddles or laying down taking up a bench inside.

In the end they let us through without checking her ID or having her sign the waiver people usually sign. She is definitely not coming here again.

I recently transferred from LA Fitness and have been really impressed with VASA so far. The machine variety here is excellent — tons of squat racks, benches, and bumper plates, which is a huge plus if you’re serious about lifting. All of the equipment is in great condition and clearly well maintained. It’s also nice to see such a clean, modern fitness area — everything feels fresh and new compared to what I was used to.

Their hours are also better than LA Fitness, giving me more flexibility in my routine. I haven’t tried any of the classes yet, but the dedicated class spaces look clean and hygienic.

A couple things to note: the sauna being co-ed is a bit odd and the smell isn’t the most pleasant — but honestly, that’s likely just what happens when you have a space full of sweaty people without masking it with artificial fragrances. Not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of.

For the price, this is probably the best value gym you’ll find in the area unless you’re willing to spend $150 per person per month at Lifetime. VASA offers nearly everything you’d need without the premium price tag.

As for some of the complaints I’ve seen about teens in the gym: maybe instead of blaming the gym, we should focus on raising more respectful kids in our community. It’s not VASA’s job to parent them, and I’m sure the custodial staff is doing the best they can.

Overall, VASA is a fantastic gym with great equipment, a clean environment, and solid value. Highly recommend.

I was forced to sign up on first day because my kid was with me and even though on phone they said he could go to kids care while I workout they said when I got there that we would have to sign up first as members for him to use. All in all spent a ton of money for only two months. Definitely regret. If they would have worked with me on the fees I wouldn’t have made this negative review

I was looking for a fitness center to join but just wanted to view the facility. The premises used to be a Jewel grocery store. They asked me if I wanted a tour. I said yes. They then told me they required me to sign a release agreement on a tablet in case I was injured. It required a lot of personal information, not required for a release. Birth date, cell phone number, etc. Outrageous invasion of privacy! All that’s required for a release is to view your ID and your signature. How dangerous is their accompanied tour!!?? The employee then spoke to the manager who explained this was a privately owned business and they didn’t want to be sued. If a guided tour of a health club requires a release to just walk around the facility, then why doesn’t your grocery store, the CTA, your hairdresser or barber who have scissors in their hands, and every other health club? In short, it’s a lie. They want your personal information, customer or not. And if they lie to you before you join, wait until you sign their contract. But don’t believe me. Yelp their other locations. These people aren’t to be trusted. There’s plenty of other health clubs. I walked out the door….quickly….but making sure they didn’t injure me as they apparently have that fear. You should too. You just don’t know how yet.

UPDATE June 2025. They no longer do this silly thing. If you ask for a look around, they just do it. No longer require waiver or your personal information. So I upgraded from 1 star to 4 stars. One star off because they had instituted it in the first place.

This gym is just okay. It has most of the equipment you’d expect, but it gets way too crowded. Waiting around for machines is annoying especially for a group of teens messing around and kills the vibe. The real issue is the hygiene. The locker room constantly smells like poo. The women’s bathroom always reeks, the steam room has had toilet paper and trash sitting there for a week, and the sauna smells like feet. Clearly, they don’t clean these areas often. I got the membership mainly for the sauna, but between the co-ed setup and the disgusting conditions, it’s just not worth it anymore. Major letdown.

So Ive been coming to this Gym since right after Christmas of 24’. I love the staff, the atmosphere and the community within the gym. It’s very positive, uplifting, they play good music, it’s pretty clean considering the volume of people that they see every day. - But Tonight 6/2/2025 ; I had just gotten out of the shower and was putting my suit back on to Leave and go home, But then I heard an individual use the N-word several times while on the phone with someone. I got pretty upset considering I am half black- And confronted this person verbally, they ignored me and hastily left the locker room. Almost immediately after they left; two staff members JONAH and MOHSIN came rushing in to see what was the matter. I explained to them what had just happened in the context behind it. I could tell they were concerned for the way I felt, I wanted to make sure that I was emotionally sound after this incident. They left the locker room and went back out to the front. Much to my surprise, As I was leaving; They made me aware that they had identified the other member and we’re making a report to attempt Action against this person. I had to take the time to let them know how much that meant to me that they were just as concerned in perturbed by this person’s behavior as I was. This is the kind of staff and environment that you want out of your gym. Staff and members the share simimlar moral values in general human decency. But this isn’t the first time both of these gentlemen have exploited complete professionalism in my experiences with them. They consistently communicate with members and other staff on the upkeep Of our gym, In our constant source of knowledge for anything regarding workouts, gym operations, etc. They’ve always been extremely friendly to me and allowed myself and other members ample time to exit the gym after closing. I told them their efforts and professionalism would not go unnoticed so I wanted to make sure I left them this review. I truly hope Upper management will consider them for promotions in the near future.

The gym has great machines but unfortunately, the cleanliness is terrible. The sauna, steam room, and bathrooms have a horrible smell, making it really uncomfortable to use them. The music is way too loud, and the machines are always left with weights on, so you have to re rack your them yourself and at certain hours, it feels like a zoo—completely chaotic.

Looking at other reviews, many people have complained about the same issues, yet nothing seems to change. I also suggest to provide paper towels in the bathrooms and throughout the gym.

It’s a very big gym and I like that but unfortunately none of the staff could answer my questions, they must have staff that speak different languages ​​and no one could translate for me. Even more disappointing was that the guest pass only allows you to bring them twice a month… I chose to get the studio membership because I have my partner and my eldest son and because I have a 3 year old son, I was excited because I said omg I finally found something that I like and something at my disposal, because I could work out while vasa daycare takes care of my son, that was great but the most disappointing thing is that my son and my partner want to come to the gym with me but they disappointed me when they said the pass is only allowed twice a month, that made me really disappointed. I am going to cancel the membership, I think in my point of view they should think about a family package where the whole family is included and they can come in as many days as they want without any problem, planet fitness and xport fitness have that package of bringing your guest every day without any problem, I don’t understand why vasa being one of the best gyms can’t include that too.

Checked this gym out a few months after they first opened because I was thinking about joining. Was really nice clean and not many people were crowding it. Came back again only to find what was basically a diabolical night club. The entire place was filled with what seemed to be fog or smoke. As soon as you walk in you get what smells like sweat and old clothes that sit in water and never dry. They have one person working at the front during their peak hours not hour, hours 🤣 seems like this place is always packed. You’ll have to wait 10 to 20 mins for people to get off their phone in between sets just so they can leave their weights and you can start your workout. The people they hire at the front desk is just about anyone. Some of the guys will completely ignore you some are stuck up and one guy just says “What do you need?” like you are his friend or something. They don’t want to help you. They got kids coming in here and smoking inside during their workouts. The speakers blasting music louder than a rock concert. The only guy working will come on the microphone and say “guys please re rack your weights” no one actually listens to him though. The benches are dirty got some sticky juice that never dries 😂 be careful. Locker room and bathroom is really dirty so just be careful you don’t slip and fall because somehow the tile in there is always wet so it’s pretty easy to fall got lots of hairs and pubes all over the floor I’ve seen gas station bathrooms cleaner smells like un flushed waste in there too. Oddly not many lockers in there either for the massive crowd they have in there. Random people who don’t even go to workout go to use the bathroom and leave LOL. They keep saying we will work on this issue asap but I think they have so many issues unfortunately this place may have gone to far. Hopefully there will be a nice turn around.

Update 3/10/25
I am updating my review from four stars to three stars until they add paper towels in the bathrooms because the fact that they don’t have any sort of paper towels in a GYM and just have bacteria infested air dryers is ridiculous. So Vasa reps if you see this better make a change…

In my opinion, the gym is not entirely lacking in quality. However, a common issue that many members share is the excessive level of congestion. While this can be attributed to the reasonable pricing, which makes it accessible to a wide range of individuals, it does create a challenging environment for those seeking a more tranquil workout.
The contemporary location and architectural design of the gym are commendable. Nevertheless, it is imperative that the gym management invests in hiring a professional janitorial team to ensure the maintenance and cleanliness of all equipment.

Update: the yoga classes are just bad and one of the instructors accosted me. She tried to force me to put my stuff in the locker of her choosing, yelled at me for having my phone (in the locker space), was so completely nasty in her tone, and then put her bare foot on my yoga block to move it closer to me during class. When I complained, the staff did nothing.

The instructors are poorly trained and the only well-attended classes are the free Zumba classes led by a manager. Yoga is rarely even half full and shouldn’t be 4x the price of the base membership.

Sauna and steam are co-ed and have a glass window where all the bros in the weight room can stair at you as you walk over. Plus, it’s alway guys in there and it smells like body odors and farts. Disgusting!

If you look them up on Reddit, they have pissed off a lot of people by overcharging them.

————-—————————————————-

Update: Cynthia, manager at Vasa, has gotten a quick two star bump purely because she is so lovely and dedicated to making the gym experience a good one. She asked about my concerns and has been beyond dedicated in making sure things are smoothed out. She even reviewed each of the different instructors and which might be a good fit for me. Honestly, Vasa is lucky to have someone like her to smooth out the rough patches of a new gym.

And the yoga classes with Ava have been great. Excited to try some of the other instructors and classes as well.

Overall the gym is clean, not too crowded, and the front desk staff are pretty friendly and helpful which makes.

Previous review:
I got up early to get my Flow (yoga) on. The 6-7am class was done by 6:30 and then we laid there to recover from the easiest “flow” class ever. Not sure why you have to pay more for a 30 minute class that’s barely a workout.

We started 5 minutes late, and overall we went through two rounds of amateur hour flow, which probably only lasted about 15 minutes total (if even).

Really disappointing.

Love it so far, clean, plenty of machines for cardio, lots of free weights machines, vending machine available, good costumer service, the locker rooms and the showers are amazing. Bring you own lock, recovery room is available with fitness membership.

Update 02/13/25:

Its been over 6 months and the gym is still nice and well kept, my only complaint is that this location doesn't have a pool and then next nearest location that does a have a pool is like 40 min away from my home😔, bathroom sometimes are unattended they should probably work on that a little more. Other than that i wish this gym opens more locations around the suburbs that will include a pool and tanning area, and all of the things that are described in the website.

Nice facilities. I go 9:30 to 10:30am everyday for Zumba class. Besides Cynthia , all other teachers finish class 10 min early. Sometimes They have sub teacher from other section, they will finish 15min early. Today, that teacher finished 20 min early. Apparently most teachers don’t take class seriously except Cynthia. Hopefully they can hire more teachers like her.

Had a day pass and loved the gym! It was excellent! Super clean very big and roomy, not stuffy. There’s a ton of equipment and areas to do workouts. I love that the squat equipment is all in one room with platforms and a lot of space! Membership is reasonable. They also have a recovery area with massage chairs that were super relaxing! Highly recommend!

Club is a nice size and has all amenities. I visited the club as it is not my home club. While there it had a distinct odor of mold or mildew, like a damp basement. Also saw people working out shirtless which just seems trashy. Will not be returning to this location and hope it is not the future for my home location.

Hello, my name is Erick. I joined Vasa in September 2024. I’ve been to other gyms, but nothing compares to Vasa. What really stands out from other gyms is the wide selection of fitness coaching. Vasa offers a wide variety of personal training targeting each individual goals. Shout out to Joey for helping me around when I first showed up at Vasa. Big thank you to my coach Mark P. for the support, knowledge and motivation on keeping me pushing the weight. Front desk staff are always there to answer any questions and show you around the gym as well. Vasa #1!

I had a guest pass and I was hoping to see what kind of memberships they offer and to show me the amenities the gym has but instead, the young guy at the front just looked at the guess pass, looked at me, and kept talked to 2 young girls and just told me to go in, he didn’t even bother to show me the gym or anything, neither he offered any membership at all. Very disappointed.

VASA WILL CHARGE YOU EXTRA AND MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX!

The gym itself is fine, but the customer service and billing are terrible. I had issues with declined payments, hidden fees, and slow customer support. They kept making everything my fault and failed to resolve anything. Expect to pay way more than you signed up for, and good luck trying to get help when something goes wrong. Avoid VASA if you don’t want to deal with constant headaches!

Been to most if not all commercial and park district gyms in the area. If you want value, a clean and open space gym, you can't really beat Vasa. I tried it out today during lunch and it was more than what I expected to find. They had dumbbells that went to 130 or more which is hard to find. There is a ton of weight benches and dedicated lifting areas, from functional fitness, to leg day torture-in a good way. Some machines here I have only seen in expensive boutique gyms like a jammer, belt squat, and numerous others I didn't get to try. There is a shared area with both a sauna and a steam room. The sauna was a little weak temperature wise to be honest but the steam room was just right. Staff were pleasant and seemed to care about keeping it clean and organized. Will definitely be looking forward to return. Very well thought out gym. Hope they keep up the maintenance and cleanliness.

Spacious work out area but tiny locker room area. Don't wear winter coats or boots to the gym. There is no space for that. Low prices attract low standard of care from management and clientele.

I am giving Vasa 3 stars because it is a terrific facility and has absolutely everything you need for a great workout whatever your workout style. I am deducting 2 stars for the very loud, unpleasant music and the crowds in the evening hours. I understand that it will be a busy after work hours, but that is when I work out. Unfortunately, during that time the gym is overcrowded with groups of young men (seem like highschoolers) that gather in groups, blocking access to much of strength training machines. The music is a genre that caters to that group and is so loud that I cannot drown it out unless blasting music on my headphones. Very disappointed because I live walking distance to the gym and I was very excited to be among the first to join. I will be looking for a new gym as soon as I am able to cancel.

EDIT: On another note, LOTS of staff hanging around while no one is actively attending to keeping the gym clean and properly stocked.

I’ve been to a few other gyms in the area to try them out and they were okay, but after one Studio Red class with Coach Terrence I wanted to join VASA. It’s clean, with plenty of equipment, and so far everyone is friendly. The Studio Red class has been the best. 5 am can be rough, but Coach Terrence makes it fun. He makes sure everyone understands the exercises, demonstrating all of them, and explains things well. He makes sure that we are comfortable and will modify an exercise if necessary for anyone who needs it. He understands we are all at different levels and works with us, which is fabulous! He moves around the room to talk with everyone and motivates us all. His playlist is pretty great too! Highly recommend VASA and the Studio Red class with Coach Terrence!

Anyuria, who also teaches Red classes, is fabulous too. After months of asking, a 5 am was added on Friday mornings with her teaching, which is great. She’s fun and energetic and makes each class enjoyable. She also makes sure we are doing the exercises correctly and checks in to make sure everyone is okay and is aware and helpful if people are struggling or need assistance.

I’d recommend the Flow classes, along with Deep Stretch, and Restore classes with Margaret. She’s positive and her classes are comfortable and easy to follow along with. She answers questions anyone has related to the practice and is very knowledgeable and encouraging. She’s accommodating to all skill levels and no one feels lost if they are near others more advanced. She welcomes everyone and makes sure everyone is comfortable. Restore is amazing, very relaxing and calming.

In all the years I’ve been training in gyms VASA is by far my favorite I’ve been to. However I’m very disappointed at the company as a whole. Today I had the worst experience at the Northbrook location. An older man in the facility got upset with me for something minor and began to fat shame me, call me racial slurs, and told me I should stay home and eat. & to top it off when I reported it to the staff he waved and smiled like what he was doing was okay. it’s sad that you guys let people who act like this in VASA when it’s supposed to be a safe and supportive environment. People like that should have Their gmt membership revoked immediately.

It's a wonderful gym with many great amenities. My only complaint is that the sauna and steam room both smell and should be cleaned more regularly. Perhaps even adding some type of ventilation system that circulates whatever lemon eucalyptus they put on the towels after a great flow class!

Not having towels is crazy, but having a co-ed steamroom/sauna is crazier. How is that even legal?

It is a nice gym though, has everything you need, and is super clean. But I'm not joining unless I can have a towel to shower with. Also you need to bring your own lock for the locker rooms which is wild.

edit in response to their response:
I'm not a member, I used a day pass to workout and check out the gym. I'm looking for a new gym.

place is very stuffy and over crowded with tons of people and seems like the AC doesn't work well or they need better ventilation at the free weights because it feels like a sauna. Also this gym has no paper towels in the bathroom to wipe sweat off your face or if you spill something in the gym no way to clean it up. They also don't give members any Keychain barcode to scan inn when you instead they want you to download their app to scan when entering the gym it's a big inconvenience to members.

Great gym in terms of location and equipment. However, the dirty bathrooms and disrespectful members make this gym incredibly frustrating to workout in. Unless the staff cracks down on members leaving messes and weights unracked, this gym is going to fall down to the level of xsport Arlington heights.

As a 3 year vasa member at another location, I know this isn’t how a vasa fitness should be run. Please employ more staff during the evening hours and come up with some way of encouraging members to flush toilets, put weights away, wipe down sweaty equipment, and keep their shirts on when out on the gym floor.

Best gym I ever been to honestly. Clean, Friendly staff, the environment and layout is sectioned off nicely. The recovery room is so peaceful. Hopefully the gym stays this way and not just because it’s new. I was always against paying $40 for a gym membership but if you’re serious about your fitness and health it is definitely worth every dollar. Unless you’re looking for a pool which is the only thing they don’t have. This is the gym for any lvl fitness person. Even a body builder could use this gym for competition. Or any elderly person just trying maintain there health. 5 stars for me 💪🏾

The gym is fantastic—spacious with a welcoming staff and a wide variety of machines. However, there is a concern with the sauna. A vent inside blows cold air, preventing it from getting hot enough, despite what the settings indicate. This issue should be addressed asap as it seems like there is a design flaw. The door also is not fully sealed having cold air coming in at the bottom.

Massive gym with a dedicated room for powerlifting. They have deadlift platforms and squat racks. A very good variety of machines and multiples of a few just in case one is already in use. There's a functional training corner with a punching bag, kettlebells, and multi-use bands for bodyweight exercises. The layout of the gym is optimal you can easily get around without getting in someone's way. The locker rooms are really nice with showers and an individual changing room. Even with the basic plan, you get a lot for what you pay for.
