The staff here is always welcoming and kind. The equipment is clean, well-maintained, and always working properly. I often see custodians cleaning while I’m there, and there are plenty of wipes to sanitize the machines. They also have showers and a sauna (steam room), which is a nice bonus after a workout. There’s a good variety of equipment, including a Booty Builder machine and a belt squat machine (the one with the chain and belt you connect at your waist for squats). Both are perfect for targeting glutes and legs, and it’s nice to see equipment you don’t find in every gym. I usually see many of the same faces each time I come in, and it’s clear that the members here are serious about their fitness. This gym feels different, people focus on their workouts, move respectfully from one machine to the next, and create a positive, motivating vibe. There are also several trainers available if you want more personalized guidance. I also love the dim lighting, it gives a comfortable, private atmosphere so you don’t feel like everyone’s watching. Overall, it feels safe, welcoming, and perfect for people who are truly committed to getting fit. They also have plenty of street parking or validated parking.

Great gym in heart of west loop! Has great mix of equipment and overall very clean. Even during busy hours, I can find machines, weights, and treadmills to use. If looking for training sessions, I would highly recommend Lola as a trainer!! She is awesome and tailors the program to exactly what you’re looking for. She takes the time to ensure it’s the right program for your goals and time. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!!!

I had an amazing experience at this gym today! From the moment my friend and I walked in, we felt so welcomed… The owner was incredibly kind and made sure we had a great experience. The reception staff was also very friendly and professional.. The gym itself is absolutely beautiful spacious, well-organized, and equipped with high-quality machines!! The cleanliness of the bathrooms and the entire facility was impressive.. Everything about this gym exceeded my expectations.. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier fitness experience! :)

One of the best gyms in Chicago. Always being cleaned. Weights are organized and in the right place. The community is strong and welcoming. The owner is present and brings good energy. Lighting is phenomenal. If you want to level up, this is the place to go.

This gym is great. It’s smaller with a more intimate and modern feel on the inside that definitely tries to cater to the people living in the city. Was the $40 day pass a little expensive? Yes. However, true gym goers only buy day passes when they need to pay for the convenience of being able to still get in a lift when they can’t go to their own gym. This gym was great for me because I could walk 15 minutes from where I work and it was significantly closer than any other gyms in the areas. It’s a smaller space but there’s PLENTY of equipment to hit your essential lifts. It’s downtown Chicago, so don’t expect the size of an LA or Lifetime. This is just a PSA for anyone looking to use the showers. The one on the left (if facing both showers) did take quite a few minutes for the water to get hot. Multiple factors could have played into this and I ended up just sticking it out and taking a cold shower due to time constraints. It DID get hot eventually. Overall, this did not impact my experience at MODE whatsoever. I would go again if I needed to and would recommend this location to anyone who needed a quick lift if they were in the area.

I tried the guest pass. Staff was very welcoming and even assisted me with some workout forms. I personally prefer this low-light atmosphere over LA Fitness and even EBC in downtown Chicago. The women’s locker room is well maintained and provides towels and hair dryer/straightener after your shower.it also included a steam room, so bring your own sandals if you want to step inside. Check this gym out if you are in Chicago. You won’t be disappointed.

What really stood out was the community vibe. Even as an out-of-state visitor, people there were friendly and welcoming, and it was easy to feel comfortable getting my workouts in without any awkwardness. The equipment selection was solid — a good mix of cardio machines, free weights, and resistance gear — so I didn’t feel limited during my sessions. Thanks Ruben!

Stopped in while in town from, Cedar Falls Iowa, to get my KILO workout. Mode Gym had a great setup, clean, and well-equipped for serious training. Ruben at the front desk was super helpful and welcoming, got me squared away quickly and made the whole experience easy. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a solid spot to train in Chicago.

Best gym in Chicago and one of the best gyms in the world! It has everything including weights, bench press, punching bag, mirror room for dancing, classes, Pilates, anything, squat rack, and I could keep on going. Moe and the staff are great, the vibe is awesome, it’s a great place to pump iron and get your exercise in.

Best gym in Chicago in my opinion. When I visit my family in Chicago coming from my current home city Miami, I find it hard to find a gym with a cool ambiance, inspirational vibe, good music and quality machines. I’ve hopped around to a few body builder gyms in the city and this is BY FAR the best if you are looking for the things I mentioned. Commercial gyms don’t inspire me at all and this gym here is far from that. Very good job here! Setting the standard for the city of Chicago where wellness and fitness appears to not be the trend. Thank you Mode gym! I’ll be back again and again when I’m in town!
