are all free for members.
Personal training with any of our highly qualified trainers
costs less when you are a member. You also get a free
fitness assessment with one of our certified trainers as part
of joining.
Cell phones may only be used in the lobby and the cafe
areas of the facility. For the protection of our members’
privacy and safety, use of cell phones in any other areas of
the Buffalo Grove Fitness Center is strictly prohibited.
TRX® Suspension training, Warm Water Arthritis, Pilates
Reformer and Taekwondo are just a few of our specialty
programs offered as a way to introduce new and exciting
forms of fitness to your exercise routine. Get started this
season! Registration opens November 4.
Once per calendar year, you have the opportunity to suspend
(“freeze”) your membership for any non-medical related
reason, (“non-medical freeze”). Non-medical freezes may
not exceed 4 months and must be taken consecutively. A
$10 fee will be charged upfront for each month of your
non-medical freeze. New members must remain active for
the first 3 months of membership before qualifying for a nonmedical freeze. Alternatively, you may freeze for unlimited
months at no charge with a medical freeze. Medical freezes
must be accompanied by a physicians note at the time of
the freeze request. Your safe and healthy return is important
to us; therefore, reactivating your account after a medical
freeze will also require a physician’s note. All freezes must
be taken in monthly increments, but can start any day of the
month. Freeze requests must be submitted in person at our
Guest Services desk.
Kids Club offers child care services for ages 3 months
through 12 years in a fun and secure environment. Tutoring
services are also available for school age children. As
a member you can pay per visit or purchase a monthly
unlimited pass. Visits are limited to 2 hours. We just ask
that you make a reservation 24 hours in advance.
Unlimited facility usage is only allowed for members ages
16 or older. Exceptions include members ages 13 - 15
that have completed our junior weight training tutorial and
the consenting parent or legal guardian is a member of
the Buffalo Grove Fitness Center. Nonmembers and guests
below the age of 16 may only use the facility during family
hours and must be accompanied by an adult member at
all times (see family hours rules and regulations for more
details).
Online registration is available for all classes that have a
registration code. The Buffalo Grove Park District registration
system requires you to first set up your online registration
account. You can begin the process to setting up your
online registration account by going to the registration page
at bgparks.org. Once you receive your account code
information, you can register online.
The primary member on your account receives 3
complimentary guest passes per year to use for guests ages
16 or older. An entry fee of $15 will be charged to all
guests not using one of the 3 complimentary passes. The
third Friday of every month is free guest day; and, you will
not be charged one of your 3 complimentary passes or $15
on those days. Only one guest per active present member.
There is no fee to cancel; however, in order to cancel your
membership without incurring further charges we require
all cancellation requests to be submitted in person at our
Guest Services desk no later than the 25th of the month
prior to the cancellation occurring. Cancellation requests
submitted after the 25th of the month will not be processed
until the following month. Charges incurred due to improper
or late cancellation requests will not be refunded. A $100
fee will be charged to anyone who wishes to rejoin within
12 months of cancelling their membership. This is not an
enrollment fee or a cancellation fee. This is simply a charge
to cover the administrative costs of re-instatement.
Members, guests and participants of programs at the Buffalo
Grove Fitness Center permit the Park District to take photos
and videos of themselves and their children for publication
in the program brochure, website and additional uses as
the Buffalo Grove Fitness Center and Park District deem
necessary unless the member, guest and participant
expressively file with the Park District a written objection as
to photos or videos of themselves and/or their children.
If you lose your membership card there is a $5 replacement
fee to issue you a new one.

At Athletico, an athlete isn’t defined by your ability to move a 5 foot snow drift or digging your
car out. For us, it’s defined by your desire to do the things you love. Whether you’re sledding
with your family or enjoying a cup of cocoa by the fire, pain shouldn’t slow you down.
