My fiancé and I became members at Vaunt Fitness in 2018. Since then, the price has almost doubled. When we received an email stating that the price is increasing by $20 per month again, we had questions. When we asked Sean (the owner) about the increase, he proceeded tell us that if we didn’t agree or see the value, then we are “no longer a good fit” and if we wanted to cancel our membership, “that was ok” with him. We didn’t even bring up canceling! I was taken aback because that is not how loyal customers of five years should be treated. Sean didn’t answer any questions we had. So we made the sad decision to cancel our membership that day but since the dues were already taken for the month of August, we were told that we can still workout there until the end of the month. Then yesterday, when we came in, we were greeted by the front desk staff and Sean happened to be standing with them. We scanned in as usual and when he said hello we didn’t acknowledge him because of the way he treated us during our last interaction. Once again, I was taken aback at his reaction. Sean got so mad that we didn’t say hello to him that he told us to leave and not come back. They claim that we will receive a prorated refund. He clearly does not care about his members. This is a prime example of price gouging and Vaunt or the Home Run Inn Pizza Corp will not get another penny from us. The membership price for the both of us was $135 per month. They have a couple of saunas (that fit about 4-5 people at once) but there are no other amenities. Every gym that I compared in the area is no more than $45 per month. What is he charging so much for? Do yourselves a favor and check out some of the other gyms in the area. We switched to Esporta. They charge $35 per month and have saunas, a pool, a large hot tub, and way more equipment. Also, if you have Blue Cross Blue Shied insurance, they offer a program that costs $25 per person, per month and you can enroll to as many select gyms as you’d like nationwide. Esporta, Planet Fitness, and Anytime Fitness are a few that are part of that program.

The Vaunt vibe is one of a kind! This gym definitely lives up to its definition; to boast about or praise something. Ever since I first joined this gym just over a year ago, it has provided such a welcoming and inspiring environment that I am proud to be a part of. Everyone truly fits in here, no matter your fitness level! The facility is always clean, well equipped and versatile for any type of training. The trainers are exceptional. I've been working directly with Coach Steph who has shared an abundance of nutritional and fitness knowledge with me. She is passionate, encouraging and leads by example. I've seen extraordinary results during the time I've been working with her. I would recommend Coach Steph in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, committed and overall motivating personal training/nutritional guidance coach.

I visit the MDW area often for work and decided to ditch the janky hotel gym and grab a day pass at Vaunt. $25 is fairly pricey for a day pass, but after seeing the facility the price felt more justifiable. Was greeted by friendly staff at the counter and given a quick tour by Lucas, who was happy to answer any questions. It is clear that they continually invest in the facility by maintaining & cleaning their equipment. Will definitely train at Vaunt again the next time I am back in town.

I visited this gym on a guest pass a few weeks ago. The gym is definitely a hidden gem. Equipment appears new, members wiped down machines after use, facilities were clean, and there was plenty of room and equipment for everyone. The manager, Lucas, was super helpful in getting us set up for the day and even touched base with us when we left. I'd definitely come back to train here on our next trip back to Chicago.

Great quality gym with new equipment and even greater staff. The gym is very clean and well kept. The trainers are enthusiastic, engaged, and very knowledgeable! The classes provided are amazing and motivating. You will not be disappointed with this space and your time at Vaunt! Maddie and Patsy are great people to help you.

Vaunt fitness is THAT GYM. The environment is like no other and the members are straight awesome. The gym is for all types of people and fits all workout styles. The staff is amazing and they work insanely hard to make it the way it is. The cleanest gym in the Chicagoland area, ryder the maintenance guy does a fabulous job

Great local gym in the heart of Garfield Ridge. Good to see a lot of people from the neighborhood putting the hard work in to stay in shape and be healthy. Gym has a great layout with a lot of machines and activities to choose from. I especially enjoy the heavy bags, good way to take stress out after a long day at work.

Pat at front desk is very friendly, pleasant to talk with and she has a great smile. Also makes outstanding protein shakes. The gym is just perfect, any thing you want to work on, it has all the equipment you'll need!!! Sean the manager owner, has designed this GYM, that is second to none!!! God Bless CARRY ON Vaunt!!!

I was in Chicago for work and got a day pass. Lucas was at the front desk, welcomed me and gave me a tour of the facility. Enjoyed my lift there - very clean, well-kept equipment and they had everything I needed. When I’m back in Chicago, I’ll make this my go to gym.

This is not your average neighborhood gym. I've been going here for over 6 years. They offer classes that can work for anyone's schedule and personal training. I have personally worked with Coach Steph (Stephanie Johnson) and that is when I

Great Neighborhood Gym! I’ve been to all the gyms in the area and nothing compares to Vaunt. Super clean, equipment is extremely well kept and it’s also kept up to date, and the people there (gym environment) is perfect. New upgrades to the

You get what you pay for, and at Vaunt it’s great service in a high class facility. Vaunt gives you what other chain fitness centers do not. You are greeted when you arrive (always a pleasure when it’s Maddie in front) and you are given a

I am so happy that I joined Vaunt in 2020. It is just what I needed coming out of the pandemic. The staff is always helpful and polite. The gym is very clean and has every piece of equipment you could possibly need. I have done monthly

This is the most friendly gym in Chicago! People like Pat, Chase, and Patsy are so great and treat you like royalty when you're here! They will even put baseball on the TVs for you just to make cardio suck less :)

Fly into Midway airport a lot for work and I’m disappointed in myself for not finding this place sooner! Clean gym with a lot of equipment to work with. Lucas was awesome. Definitely will be back on future trips.

How to use the sauna: Take your dirty shoes off. Use a towel for your dripping sweat. Don’t clear out your nose in there. This isn’t your house. Overall decent place aside from a few bumps along the road.

This gym is super clean and the protein shakes are great! Everyone is so friendly and makes you feel at home. Debbie is amazing, she’s super down to earth and is awesome to work with. Love it here!

Vaunt Fitness is a great neighborhood gym. Truly a staple to Garfield Ridge. Always clean and great friendly staff. Everyone is great, especially Pedro, who always has a smile on his face.

Been a member for awhile now and can say that this gym is community. The staff are friendly and helpful. Lori and Lindsey are awesome trainers and have made my trainings a rewarding

Would give Vaunt 10 out of 5 stars as they go above and beyond for their members. I’ve never been as consistent with a gym routine as I have been since joining the Vaunt community.
