Rush-Copley Healthplex

I love it here. All the equipment is up to date and easy to use.

Amazing facility! I have to say this is the best and most complete recreation facility I have ever seen. The amenities here is amazing. I came here for a tennis conference for a couple of days and completely impressed with the offerings here. You get a chance to see tennis courts up in the mezzanine. Wonderful facility joined by the medical school complex nearby!

My husband and I recently joined this gym and we couldn’t be happier with it! The staff here is very welcoming and positive! We also bring our 5 month old to the child care and they are beyond fantastic. The child care staff is extremely personable and they truly care about your child. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone and everyone!

Just finished visiting this fitness center for the first time… one word: Amazing! I’ve been to many gyms and this one is by far the best! They have everything from free weights, cardio machines, three large studios/​classrooms that hold classes like yoga, spin, pilates, zumba, zip fit, boxing (over 20 different types of classes). The coolest part… the track, tennis facility and the pools (for the entire family)!! Seriously… you name it, they have it this Healthplex! No other place I need to go for my fun and active lifestyle!

Great gym. Locker rooms are clean. They have shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, razors, and mouth wash. They used to have Gatorade too ! Lots of open space so you’re not bumping into each other.

This is one of the best high end gyms around. Staff is ready to help in any way possible. There’s a café on the premises. Huge pool, sauna, whirl pool and the locker rooms are immense. You don’t need to bring anything from home. There are towels, shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream, spray on deodorant, lotion, mouth wash, disposable razors etc. classes are plentiful and large area for machines and weights. The crowds are pleasant and rarely do you have to wait long for anything. This place NEVER smells like a gym.

I just joined the Healthplex in October and it’s been a great experience so far. Rob and Kelly were extremely helpful during the sign up process and everything has been great since then. I use the indoor track, free weights, and machines more than anything but I definitely want to start taking advantage of the classes — especially boxing! I hadn’t worked out for 4 years and it’s been great getting back into a routine with the help of the Healthplex. All of the employees are extremely friendly and all of the other patrons make it a comfortable environment — you can tell most people there are just trying to be healthy, it almost never feels like you’re being judged.

Theres no better gym in Aurora. True, some folks call it «pricey», but you get what you pay for. The place is large enough, has such a mix of activities, and has enough parking that finding it «crowded» is nearly impossible… try that at another Aurora gym. Good luck elsewhere, enjoy those «bargain» prices!!!

Love this fitness center. I came from Lifetime Fitness in Warrenville, which did have tons of equipment and services, but it was more expensive and I had to drive around for literally 10min to find a parking space. I was there 4 years. Going to Rush it was different. No crowds, no ‘hard’ people starring you down… very family oriented. They still have the squat rack, free weights and machines I need though. Probably better for families, but my wife and I love it, we are in our 30’s and have been weight lifting for about 5 years. Talk to Rob… he is great. Godwin, Jen and Karl are great trainers too. Been there for almost 4 years and will continue to be members.

Love this center! I work at a different hospital with a different health complex but I choose to come here where people are more genuine and down to earth. The facility is big on tennis but what gets me is their minty steam room! Bring on the winter bugs! No doubt this place is going to keep me healthy!

This place was great this past year when i was pregnant. They have pre-​natal yoga where the instructor tailors the class to your needs. I loved using the therapy pool and attending swimming classes, it’s great to relieve swelling while pregnant.
The locker rooms are very clean and i love that you can rent a locker and keep your things there.
The indoor running track is great way to switch things up with the treadmills get monotonous.

Great place to workout; little pricey, but under $ 100, so I go out less to keep membership. Great free indoor/​outdoor tennis, swimming, much more. Negative is hot tub; always naked older men in there; not enforced and is very disturbing.

I joined this summer and got a great deal, they waved the intro signage fee and it’s just $ 83/​mth. Plus, I got one free personal training appt as part of my package, and since I signed up for three more personal training sessions at the same time of signing up, it was at a reduced rate.
The facilities are top of the art with every single machine you can imagine. There’s also classes being held on two floors in three different rooms. There is an olympic pool, another smaller pool for exercise. There are tons of tennis and swimming classes, for adults or children. There’s tons of stuff to do for kids if you have any.
There are external tennis courts for nice weather, and several more internal tennis courts, surrounded by an internal running track. The internal tennis courts/​running track area isn’t air conditioned, so user beware on hot/​humid summer days.
There’s lots of open houses and other events where you can bring friends and family to hang out and be part of the activities.
The person who signed me up was a sales specialist, so you should do a little research before you sign up so you know how things work and so you get the right answers to the questions that matter to you.
The personal trainer seems a little overscheduled, but has a great personality and has a great knowledge of human anatomy, muscle groups, and the equipment.
This is the third gym I’ve ever gone to in my life, but the one I’ve gone to the longest because I find it a great match for what I need.
Ladies, just beware some oglers at the weight pressing area, if that’s something that bothers you. Some even are so bold as to ask you if you’re having a good workout ;o) Just comes with the territory! It always cracks me up because I’m no beauty and there’s a very obvious reason why I’m at a gym working out.
Check out the Healthplex website for everything you need, including updated class schedules and other information. The only thing I didn’t find on there was pricing for the signup and packages, and the personal trainer listing is extremely outdated – as my personal trainer confirmed.
A friend of mine also comes here for physical therapy. So there’s always that option as well.
There is a little microscopic shop that’s split in half to offer a little café type place with smoothies/​shakes, whole fresh fruit, nutrition bars, and little wraps and such. You can charge things to your account if you didn’t bring payment.
There’s mini lockers inbetween the check-​in desk and the little café/​shop or you can go downstairs to the locker rooms where there’s proper lockers which you can secure with a lock you bring from home. There’s also locker rentals should you need it. I’ve always brought a lock and never had a problem getting my favorite locker for the day.
The showers are really clean, with full-​sized shower curtains that close up well. There’s body wash/​shaving gel/​shampoo/​conditioner dispensers in each stall. There’s as many hot towels as you’ll ever need. There’s also razors near the swim suit spinner. The vanity sinks have almost every type of after-​shower product you can think of: hair products, mouthwash, ear buds, cotton balls, sanitized combs, etc.

WE definetely don’t have a complex like this around Chicago!
There are I believe 10 great courts, a lot of upstairs viewing room, a large workout facility, badminton nets, a very expensive pin-​pong table, a daycare, and I am sure that I am missing something.
The staff is extremely nice and everything is super clean.
There is a toooon of parking space and many places to eat within a few minutes of driving.
This facility is just awesome! It is perfect for tennis tournaments!

I’ve been going here for three years and mainly play tennis. They have a good tennis program, but ends up being expensive, as you have to pay for membership too.
The fitness center staff is very friendly and are always around to help out.
Generally, a great gym if you’ve got a few extra bucks to spend.

Depending on what you’re looking for, this is a solid health club. After 2.5 years of membership we are giving it up.
Pros:
— lots of classes
— large indoor track
— great open gym space
— one really, really good yoga class (Sandra, Tuesday night)
— generally friendly staff
— childcare (up to a certain age. Didn’t use it but the fact they offered at all is a real advantage, it and the facilities for it were great)
Cons:
— locker room, in particular the showers, sauna and whirlpool were constantly dirty. Showers had fruit flies. I complained several times and saw degrading conditions as time went on. Just gross.
— seems to cater to middle-​of-​the-​road fitness seekers. While there are a lot of classes, most are beginning-​level. If you are looking to be challenged, you are in the wrong place
— certain machines are not replaced or in poor repair. Again, gave information about machines that were not working and week after week they remained in disrepair.
— Staff communication. While friendly, doesn’t seem like people from different departments speak to each other. For example, if you ask the front-​desk people, well, almost anything, they say they don’t know, or at best, direct you to someone who might now. Class teachers don’t really know anything about any other part of the club, and it’s unclear (see above comment) how information reported to front-​desk makes it way to management.
In the end, the cost didn’t make up for the cons.

I’ve been a member for years, and wouldn’t consider anywhere else. Staff seems well trained, and genuinely concerned about my well being. I use a trainer for weights 2x/​wk, the indoor track, and some of the stationary aerobic machines. Always seem to have the right balance of attendance. Plenty of extra activities, although I don’t use them.

Of all the gyms I’ve been a member of, this is my favorite! When I work out, I go to classes 90% of the time. I need a variety to keep me motivated. So many times, the membership department at other gyms (LA Fitness, YMCA) promise a variety of classes, only to not deliver. At Rush Copley, there are hundreds of quality classes, at all times of day. I can try something new all the time, and I never get bored. Also, Rush Copley’s membership team really listen to their customers. When a few members mentioned they would like 4:00 classes… a few weeks later, there were five classes at 4:00 to choose from. When the Zumba classes were getting a bit full, more were added to the schedule. This is a quality gym, with quality trainers and instructors. I also like that there is guest appreciation activities often. There was a guest appreciation wine tasting a few months ago with amazing food and wines. Every month, a basket of fruit is put out in the locker rooms as well. I love this gym!

I joined six months ago l and I’m still as happy as the day I joined. No it’s definitely not the least expensive place out there, but there are so many amenities and the variety of activities is hard to beat. I know that at my old fitness center, new members would be paying close to what I’m paying here anyway and I like it much better here.
The class variety is excellent. The summertime class schedule did not feel pared down at all; I was able to keep enjoying my routine. The instructors have been very friendly and helpful, often going out of their way to learn more about the new faces in class.

This is another giant fitness center, only this one is owned by Rush-​Copley Medical Center, so there’s good integration between fitness specialists and physicians /​therapists. They even have a couple doctors’ offices there, sports medicine, etc.
Tennis seems to be one of the specialties. I’m better at watching tennis, but if I wanted to learn I’d go here. They offer kids’ tennis camps in the summer and I saw a few courts. Also swimming, weight training, cardio, massage therapy, and a big old rock climbing wall! I’ve seen ads in the summer for shorter-​term memberships, but give them a call or stop in to get their current specials.
