Ryse Athletic Club - Gurnee, Illinois

I don't typically write reviews, but I could not hold myself back from writing this one. Let me start by saying Gurnee doesn't have a lot of gyms in the area so I was extremely excited to try this one. From their website, to their social media and pictures other people shared this place seemed perfect for someone who loves the gym. When I went in, I was given a short tour of all of the equipment and was explained how it is currently under construction due to them expanding the gym, I did not think anything negative about it at that point and gave it the benefit of the doubt. I signed a 1 year commitment, and after my first time going in... I instantly regretted it. I started my workout in the women's area upstairs and it was disgusting. The floors look like they have never been cleaned, it is dusty which triggers my allergies, the equipment is rusted and broken, and the garbage cans were over flowing with paper towels (probably from people trying to clean the dirty equipment). I broke out in rashes and I left the gym feeling dirty/ itchy. Since September, when I opened the account I probably have gone in 2-3 times trying to give it a chance. But, every time I am there the same thing happens itchy skin, bumps on my skin and a horrible workout and unsafe equipment. Unfortunately, due to the year contract I am not allowed to cancel the membership, but I no longer am I going there. So, if you're looking to sign up please be more observant before you commit and be aware of the uncleanliness of this place.

Ryse has change my life completely I love going into a gym that has all the equipment I need to get a good workout. Employees are so nice and very professional and polite and they keep the gym very clean. And the owner Justin Maki is world class very awesome guy and a motivation to everyone that has dreams and goals in life and with hard work everything can be achieved. The sky is the limit .Overall a great Gym. Great atmosphere. I highly recommend it

I can’t say enough good things about this gym! The equipment is top-notch and really enhances my workout experience. What truly sets this place apart is the management; they genuinely care about the members and create a welcoming atmosphere. The community here is one of a kind and everyone is supportive and friendly. If you're looking for a gym with an amazing vibe, great price and great facilities, this is the place to be!

Gym is pretty good, most of the equipment works well and it's usually not too crowded. Being open 24/7 is a nice feature too. What brings it down for me is that for one the music is WAY way too loud, it's like a club, I can barely hear my own music through my headphones. Also more importantly there are no ab machines, which I find very strange for a gym not to have. They need to add a couple immediately.

This is what gyms should be! This place is an absolute diamond. Different areas, tons of machines and free weights. Plenty of open space. Lighting is perfect, temperature is perfect, every single aspect of this place is 👌🏼👌🏼. Day pass to try it out is too expensive, actual membership is dirt cheap for what you get.

Can't say enough good stuff. Thank you Ryse!

This gym is honestly amazing. It is expanding and updating constantly. And the owner does so by listening to what the members want and need! The staff is incredibly friendly. And the culture amongst members is awesome! Couldn’t recommend this gym enough!

I absolutely love this gym! From the moment you walk in, you hear loud music to set your mind right to train! The owner puts money back into the gym to give his members the best experience! The gym culture here is also amazing! Best gym in Lake county!

Great club, especially with the recent additions! You’ve got everything you need to lock in and get right here! Owner (Justin) is engaged and personable. they have an exclusive upstairs training area (for the ladies), basketball hoops, brand new Huge turf area. Definitely my new favorite place to be
