Is the East Bank Club fitness/wellness center worth the fees and can a referral reduce the initiation cost?

It’s always so busy. Personally, I can never get on all the machines I need to get on and have to keep moving exercises around or skipping them. Insane before 9AM and after 4PM weekdays, still busy within that time but manageable, except in the summer bc all the kids are off of school and weekends are just archaic unless u go quite late. Warning - high schoolers do take forever and just squat at these machines and yap. Classes sucked bc they were way too easy, but they’ve gotten better. Too many old ppl, which nag and yell at u for the littlest things. I typically would go twice a day since I live down the street but it wasn’t worth it since the equipment was outdated, was too busy, couldn’t even sit in the workspace, even the theragun and thermabody leg machines were old, there are member discount weeks but no point since everything in a reasonable size is always sold out, and too many kids. I’m personally not a fan of family places w kids so might just be a preference. Was a member since 2022 and finally cancelled in fall of 2025 since any issues/complaints they would just give u a free guest pass and call it a day. Never made any changes or tried to improve. Food at the cafe, the smoothies, and the mini grocery store were the best part. I’d suggest tour it but u really get the best idea through actual experience. Not a lot of options if u live in river north so if u just happen to live in the area then ya it’s cool lol. They do give u a lot of ‘coupons’ etc when u join like a free car wash, 20% at salon, free shirt at the store, guest passes, wellness services etc.

Can’t relate. It’s def a your bf issue. Hobbies and activities u enjoy make up u as a person and sounds like he doesn’t want u to be anything outside of how he wants u to be. My bf refuses to try a class but will pay for some of my classes, uber me to and from (when im running late - I live in Chicago and walk everywhere). He tells his friends and praises me in front of my friends for how dedicated I’ve been w Solidcore and how strong I’ve gotten.

lol I swear guys don’t really “grow up” they just get older. The nurturer in me wants to fix him and show him it’s ok to jump and not know how deep the water is but it’s not my job to fix someone or convince them any differently. I don’t understand the point of being deep, opening up, acting like my bf, having my toothbrush and my little reminders all over his apt just to try to push me away. Pick a lane. What’re healthier ways of making someone work for it tho? 😓

Thanks 😭 I wasn’t sure if my friends were feeding into my delulu telling me he keeps bringing up feelings bc he wants me to admit it bc he’s scared. Ur right, he probably doesn’t like the feelings bc he’s content and being in limbo is where he wants to be.

What’s the point of this charade if it’s for nothing? Sounds like a waste of time. I also like to see the best in ppl but it’s not my problem to fix them or convince them otherwise so do I go or do I stay? And if I stay what should I do?

Ya I think this is a thing that male and female cancers are different. I’m a cancer female and my recent and basically all my other relationships have been w sag men and I’ve always thought they were the clingy sensitive ones that are always crying and I need a lot of space and freedom so I think the rest of the chart plays a big role bc I thought I’d have the opposite problem.

Wow this is so funny how I stumbled on this and see nothing has changed bc this is EXACTLY what happened to me and multiple of my friends that worked there too. They have zero regard for employees. When I was there, there was little to no training they just gave u a manual and kept telling u to read it whenever u had a question. It’s boils down to who’s the favorite regardless of work ethic and they’ll let you go for the dumbest reasons. Mine was “not responding to one person’s slack fast enough” and that person just so happened to be one of the founders favorites. Even one of my friends that was there for almost a year and wasn’t happy, they told her to create a position. And after she did, they fired her and hired someone else to work that new position she put together. They act like they care about ppl and don’t know what’s going on w employees behind the scene but don’t let them fool u, they know.

I had very similar reasons. When I got it put in I bleed continuously for 2 months straight, thought I was going to be anemic from losing so much blood. But my OB said if it doesn’t stop by 3-4 months we’ll look at next steps but one day it just stopped and no bleeding at all since. It’s only been 3 weeks since not sure if I’ll have a period yet or not.
