Morton Grove Park District

I went there for the first time yesterday to sign up for the fitness gym. The front of the house guys were knowledgeable and funny. The gym was surprisingly clean. Maybe because there’s not a lot of patrons that use the facility which is a plus for me. Space is a little tight, but its great. If you’re looking for a spot to do the power moves — squat/​deads/​cleans go to the next room, mymistake for not looking around. They only have the basic machines, compared to xsport or la fitness across the street. Complete set of DB’s, ample BB’s. Lots of attachments for cable exercises, they have a mini running track that goes around just like at LA fitness in morton grove.
People that ive worked out so far seems good and nice, they return weights to. its proper place (pet peeve of mine) they seem to know each other as well which is a good sign.
Overall, if youre looking for a clean, quiet community gym to lift and run and dont want the hassle of other people’s BS. Cant stress enough that this gym is cleaannnnn, lockers are spotless, and its the freakin men’s locker room im talkin about! What more on the womens side, you probably can sleep there lol.

My wife and I have been members of the Fitness Center for several years. It is convenient to our home. It is never too crowded. You can always get to a machine or weights. The recent remodeling has given almost every machine a personal TV. The only thing they don’t have is a swimming pool. They have a sauna but no whirlpool spa. People are very friendly.

Long time Club Fitness member. Very clean and well equipped health club. Staff and members are friendly and supportive. Recentl upgrades added new TM’s, ellipticals and stair climbers. There are clean locker rooms as well as a stretching area. Small track is okay for walkers. Very reasonable rates and there is ample parking.

My husband, Kurt, and I are both members and love working out here. Its very clean and the new renovation looks great and the equipment upgrades are very welcome too! the staff are very friendly and welcoming but not over bearing. its a nice mix of age ranges and not a meat market!!!

After long break I am back to Morton Grove Park District gym. In the meantime gym is upgraded; there are a lot of new machines. Gym and locker rooms are clean and well organized.

I’m a MG resident so maybe I’m biased but this park district is really excellent. Their programming is diverse and they have family friendly activities throughout the year. My daughter loved the ballet class and the Halloween celebration there because she received a bag of goodies, had her face painted, played games and took part in a spooky storytelling show. We participated in the world’s friendliest community garage sale last year. They are in the works for completing a new outdoor pool, which in plans, looks fantastic. The actual park outside the district is great for toddlers because it has size-​conscious structures and a sound installation. So much fun.

Took a Zumba class here, it rocked! Was only $ 60, and the instructor Katie was really good, and knew what she was doing. She allowed flexibility in the class, and gave suggestions on moves for those who couldnt keep up, or had difficulty doing some of the moves.
I just wish the room wasnt full of mirrors, I dont want to watch myself or anyone else for that matter!

awesome place for a party. They setup the room for you and the price wasn’t bad.

This Park District is on par with the
Skokie Park District I would say. Their pool rates are cheaper but not
as much to explore (Skokie has 3 giant slides and other play areas as
well as their pool) However, if you’re looking for a quality summer
program for you or your kids, you ought to look into Morton Grove’s
karate classes for instance. Once a week classes for different age
groups, fantastic instructors and always a comfortable temperature to
work out in. During all seasons do they have programs running, some of
course, due to weather close after winter or summer (like swimming
etc.)
They do have some great family programs and special nights out that
may give you something different and fun to do with your kids.
Campouts for example. They also have year round puppy training which
is good to know. I haven’t first hand experienced their classes but a
friend of mine had said they were really good with their pup. During
the summer season only they provide a preforming arts camp. Now there are other places to do a preforming arts summer camp (Northlight for instance) and better places (Piven is the top of the line) but if you
don’t want to travel far, or pay a LOT of money, this is a great
opportunity for your aspiring thespian or movie star kids to stay busy
out of trouble and have a lot of fun.

My younger brother has taken numerous summer classes here. They have lots of programs for little kids, from sports to art classes. Its a great place for kids and the rates are really reasonable if you are a Morton Grove resident. They have a few classes for adults. But I think a better option is their fitness room and their swimming pools that are part of the membership.
