From the reviews
Overall great gym. The staff is really nice. They are updating the equipment right now and have pretty much everything you need. The only thing I really wish they would add is a dedicated yoga/quiet room.
Really cool place with a lot to offer. The basketball courts are big, the gym has plenty of space and equipment, and the pool is really nice. It does get packed sometimes, but it’s definitely worth having a membership. Overall, a great spot for staying active and enjoying different sports. Highly recommend.
Lots of things to do, huge gym, several pools, open early morning till 10pm, indoor track mostly for walking, outdoor 3 laps per mile track at times very busy however nice community feeling. I like the lap swimming available almost any time facility is open. Pictures of well organized gymnastics competition.
A "Perfect Score" Venue for Traveling Sports Families 🤸♀️🏟️ We traveled to Waukegan this past weekend for my daughter’s gymnastics competition, and I have to say: the Field House Sports facility is a breath of fresh air for "gym moms" and travel families alike.
