The Garage Chicago

The Verdict on The Garage Chicago

This gym suits athletes who want coached strength and conditioning in small classes, with a separate space for mobility and recovery work. Before you go, note that the official pages list no drop-in price, and the intro offer found online comes from a third-party source.

Best for: Strength and conditioning athletes

Pricing Notes

The official pages list no drop-in price, open gym price, weekly pass or monthly membership. A Google AI Overview (third-party, source 10) reports a two-week unlimited intro for first-time visitors at $99, a first-time personal training session at $99, and one free guest pass per month for members who create an account. The same overview says a drop-in starts around $20, but it gives no source for that figure. None of these were confirmed on the gym's own site.

Coaching

The gym describes its classes as small, with high-level coaching (source 1). Personal training is offered for one-to-one coaching (sources 1 and 5).
