Vaughan Athletic Center

The only bad thing about this place is that it’s too pricey for my budget. The good part is that the vaugh center has every class that you can imagine. The classes alone are worth squeezing your pennies together to pay for the gym membership. I haven’t ran across any gym that equals up to the Vaughn center except for Lifetime fitness, and they are equally expensive.

Me and my boyfriend just moved from Downers Grove to Aurora and since there is no xsport near us we joined the fitness center here. He loves that the weights dont stop at 100 lbs and I love the variety of cardio machines and huge selection of group classes offered after work. Never had to wait for someone to get off a machine. The water park looks like so much fun :/​only if I was 5 years old, oh well. When we went to sign up for our membership the sales staff left for the day so we both got a free week pass to try the fitness center out until we were able to come back at the same time to sign up since we wanted a couples membership.

Love this place huge and has alot of options. I worked here 4 years in the childcare and I still use this as my gym. Very clean. I also really like the track so I can walk in the winter.

I love working out at this place. Like many modern citizens, I’m preparing for an inevitable zombie outbreak and/​or the end of the world in any other way, shape or form.
So when I started running and saw others run much faster and longer, it was great motivation for me to keep going and get better. I didn’t want to be the slowest, after all, and get eaten.
I ran my first 5K just weeks ago, and am proud to say there were at least 50 people slower than me. Thanks Vaughan! Thanks to you I’ll not be the first to die in the pending apocalypse.

I haven’t been a member in a couple of months, but I enjoyed working out here.
The Equipment is pretty modern and clean, although I occasionally spotted some people not cleaning off their stuff when they were done.
I like that their indoor track is right on top of the volleyball and basketball courts, giving you something to watch as you went by.
I did a few yoga classes here too, and really enjoyed it. Although, the hours of the class always interfered in my work schedule so I was never able to 100% commit to it.
The reason I am giving this 3 vs 4 or 5 stars is that having the pool separate from the gym membership makes everything super expensive. For a park district gym, they charge the same amount as some of the bigger chain gyms even without the pool.
Also there were times I was not able to use the indoor track because a bunch of kids decided to race and held up the entire track. Nobody did or said anything.
Also the parking lot is usually pretty full.
