About
This isn't a scene-focused gay gym but a mainstream LA Fitness in Uptown that draws a solid gay crowd from nearby Andersonville. The equipment is good, with a big free-weight loft, and staff are helpful. However, it's a smaller club overall, and the pool and hot tub are quite small. The cardio area gets packed weekdays from 5 to 7pm.
You'll find a mix of gay and straight clientele, and the facility offers spinning and pilates classes, plus a juice bar. Hours are long: weekdays from 5am, closing at 10pm or 11pm. If you're seeking more space, Cheetah Gym is another option in the area. For a quiet workout, avoid peak hours or come on weekends when it's less crowded.
LA Fitness is located in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, near the gay-popular Andersonville area.

“Hit the Gym in Uptown - Ravenswood”
Excellent location on the north side close to the gay-friendly Andersonville area, solid equipment, large free-weight area, diverse crowd with many local gay men and heterosexual members. It's a smaller gym though, the cardio section gets very crowded on weekdays between 5 and 7pm, and the pool and hot tub are quite tiny.
