Lakeview Fitness - Vernon Hills, Illinois

Sauna is not hot enough. Have talked to the manager multiple times, but no action.

Many members share this exact sentiment. Tons of heat is clearly being lost below the door, but nothing is done about it.

Apparently maintenance seems to think this gap is required for "proper air flow" ... if they actually knew this much about "proper air flow" then you'd think they would know how to actually make a sauna hot. (that is the purpose of sauna ... right?)

The reality is they probably don't know much, and don't care because they don't actually use the sauna. Everyone who uses the sauna wants it hotter, while those who don't use the sauna ... don't want to make it hotter. I wonder why?

Why have a sauna if you're not gonna make it hot? This is the reason I ultimately cancelled my membership.

Other than this, everything is great. Gym is nice and clean. Staff are friendly. Locker rooms are decent. If sauna was useable, I'd def still be a member.

This is one of the best health clubs I’ve ever been to. They give you free five day membership to try it out. They have cleaner locker rooms that any place I’ve ever been to. They totally put to shame the lifetime fitness brand. Their service manager is also very friendly and they have the best ratesof anyone else in the area.

Hi ! Great complex for Vernon Hills! Newly renovated, very clean and always fresh air! Affordable price for a monthly visit! The pool is warm and very clean water. Yoga is magical!

Not actually a community space.
No kids ever.
"Well. Technically we have two 'flick and float' events per year!"
This is definitely a gym for the assisted living facility next door. It's the kind of place with old men drying their balls by propping up their legs across the whole hall.

Great visit to Lakeview Fitness in Vernon Hills! Polina and Liz made the membership process easy and welcoming. The facility is top-notch. Highly recommend for anyone looking to join a supportive gym community.

I like how this fitness center is low-key, clean, and well-equipped. Great pool. I love the hot tub, especially since it has both seating and standing sections. The staff is responsive.

Yeah it just got renovated and it is beautiful. Did extensive work on the hot tub. Built an outside patio. Received new equipment. Kind of crowded in the evenings but you got to expect that. Staff and patrons very friendly.

This is one of the finest institutions in which I've had the pleasure of membership in my lifetime. The facility includes a great variety of workout spaces and equipment, classes, pools, spa's, teachers, coaches, and lounges. All are clean. My family has enjoyed being members for 15 years since before the park district took over. The park district improved the layout and the programming and increased the variety and the liaison with the Sullivan Community Center to offer expanded class options. We love the staff and teachers and the management. We use the workout equipment, attend classes regularly, and love the jacuzzi, pool, dry sauna and steam sauna. The price is right and we use our free guest passes gratefully. This is a gem of our community.
