Carle Health & Fitness Center

This is the best gym in Blono area, they have everything to make you satisfied and while you work out you can use sauna, chill in jacuzzi, and swim in a two different pools. Also there are tons of programs included in your membership. Also you can have a personal trainer and so on, so far this is the place i wanna be at least 4 times a week. Strongly recommended ❤️‍🔥

UPDATED REVIEWIve knocked the review down from 5 stars to 1 star due to their membership cancellation policy. Why? Its extremely arbitrary. First of all, you need to cancel by the 20th of the month to avoid being charged for the next month. Why? Who knows. I cant think of any reason why they would need to do this. Second, you have to show up in person to cancel. You cant cancel over the phone, via email, on their website, or by carrier pigeon if you happen to have one. I guess youd be paying forever if you moved halfway across the country and hadnt canceled your membership. Seriously what is this - the stone age?Also, good luck with the TPC area if you visit around 5 or 6PM. They have classes with kids going on there that are basically let loose. They usually have some structured class and then are set free to do whatever they want. Youll see kids messing around with free weights, hex bars, and running around causing a dangerous environment. Up in the track area, they will be sprinting around and darting between the different lanes, and I almost witnessed people being knocked over several times by this.Lastly, the fitness coaching idea, while in principle sounds nice, is executed poorly. The coaches clearly have many more responsibilities on their plate than they can handle on top of the fitness coaching. Its impossible to reach them through the app leading you to have to email them, and youll be lucky if you get a response. After switching coaches, the original coach still thought they were my coach - clearly there is zero communication at all within the team at this gym.Yes the gym is clean, yes the gym has good equipment and isnt too crowded, yes the clientele in general are very friendly, but thats about where it stops. There are clearly some management problems here.ORIGINAL REVIEWExtremely nice fitness center. Clientele are respectful, staff is beyond friendly, the gym is VERY clean, and there is more than enough equipment here whether youre doing rehab exercises, machines, powerlifting, or other S&C work. The elevated track is nice and so is the pool.Honestly, if youre considering a gym membership and can afford it (Carle is one of the priciest in the area), then choose Carle.

Ive been exercising/Bodybuilding for 10 years, been to roughly every gym in the Bloomington/Normal area. I signed up at Carle Health and Fitness last Thursday for a change of scenery and I can say its the cleanest, nicest most top of the line gym in town. You get what you pay for!

It is the best gym I have ever had membership with. It has everything a senior would need to keep the old muscles, joints and blood moving. The staff is wxcellwnt!

Cleanest facility in town by far. A medium amount of equipment for weight lifting, but kenny of machines. The staff is the best I have ever experienced.

Carle is the best fitness center in the Bloomington area. Cleaner than all the rest combined and a staff that really challenges you. It’s great for all ages and walks of life to stay healthy. Staff is amazing!

I love CHFC! The facility is always clean, the staff is really friendly, there are so many great classes and machines, I could go on, but essentially this is among my favorite gyms. The amenities and opportunities are amazing.

Friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff. Training assistance is available for as much or little you need. Well maintained areas and equipment.

The worst fitness center I have ever seen. Please dont go for memberships, its a big scam.Why? You need to cancel by the 20th of the month to avoid being charged for the next month.You have to go in person to cancel. You cant cancel over the phone, via email. I guess youd be paying forever if you moved halfway across the country and hadnt canceled your membership.

Great fitness center. I wish it was closer to my home. Loved the atmosphere, people, equipment, yoga, and water classes. Just couldnt afford it and the gas to get there. Great place if you live in Bloomington Normal.

The experience at Carle and Carle Physical therapy is amazing and very comfortable, thats the feeling when around the Therapists, you will feel comfortable and fit right in, its a difficult situation when a person goes for therapy, but these persons there make you feel welcome and you want to be there, The best ever.

Clean and easy to use. Friendly staff are happy to help.

I recently became a member after they allowed me a free week to enjoy the facilities, including the exercise classes, both in the water and exercise rooms. Everything has been great, including the yoga class I took. The womens locker room area includes individual shower areas that each has its own changing area with privacy curtains. Since I am a senior on a limited income, the monthly cost of $53 is something I can manage. Lots more wonderful details make this place an ideal one to get healthy!

Fantastic facility with a great selection of equipment. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Everything is very clean and tidy. Its a wonderful place. The only thing that could be improved is having more options for families. I have children who would greatly benefit from use of the pool, but the opportunities for kids to access the pool are extremely limited.

Amazing fitness and health center. Only in the area once in a while and I Will make sure I pay this place a visit whenever I visit. Love the manual treadmills!

Great and clean gym. Plenty of exercise equipment in both the main area and sport activity center. Love the hot tub, sauna, and steam room. All are always nice and hot and clean. Membership is a bit pricey, but you do get a lot of amenities, a facility that isnt too packed, and free fitness classes. Ive only ever been to the yoga due to my own schedule, but the yoga is great so I bet the other classes are great too.

I love the fitness center because of the great trainers and employees. They are friendly, welcoming and encouraging. The facility is always clean and well maintained. I feel safe when working out and feel that the team truly cares about my health and fitness needs.

CHF offers more than many other fitness centers. Its well-equipped and professionally staffed. I have a customized program and regular follow-ups with my personal trainer. The equipment and locker rooms are kept spotlessly clean. And the sauna and steam room are nice perks! I am very happy I chose Carle Health & Fitness.

I really love this facility! I was not a big fitness person before but this place makes me so comfortable that I don’t mind going! It’s clean and the staff is so helpful and friendly, right down to the executive director who is not too busy and stopped and helped me with one of the exercise machines!

Love this gym, look forward to going 3xweek. Very modern, clean, lots of equipment(sometimes a brief wait if folks dawdle). Everything people need at any level. Indoor track, 2 pools, steam, sauna, machines, free weights, classes and group, advanced training, simply awesome. Love how computer key has my workout, loads into all machines, then tracks performance.

This is a very well designed facility that includes a pool, track, free weights and plenty of steppers, treadmills and bikes. It doesnt have the feel of many gyms, a little slower pace? Ive never found it crowded.

I go here all the time - ever since I had three months of water therapy for severe back pain in 2019 and then another month in 2020. I go to the warm-water pool to stretch and then do a little hot tub before doing machine exercises. Real nice staff.

This is a good fitness center, the staff is friendly, plenty of machines, plenty of classes on the schedule, hot tub, therapy pool lap pool, etc. One thing I particularly like is they have staff to create workouts for you. They created 2 for me, one that I do at the gym, one that I do at home with equipment I already have here.

Equipment and trainers are wonderful. Child care staff are not trained on appropriate ways to work with children. They constantly pull parents out for minor things and never have fun activities to keep them engaged. I could tell at drop off they were never excited to have my son there, which is sad because hes a loving boy. If youre a parent of a child that needs extra reminders you wont get any self care here.

After going through MCO rehab and the Carle Health & fitness intro program I used my credit card and signed up for ONE month. I was told it would cost around $60 total. (senior Citizen or Veteran discount). The employee couldnt give me a receipt. When working out I asked again at the desk and couldnt get one. I WAS BILLED ALMOST TWICE THAT - three total charges on 4/28 & 5/2. Contesting with Credit Card Company. Desk no help. Fraud or untrained employee? BEWARE if you use a card. Filing complaints.

When I offer to share my time, I like to feel that I have made a difference. The time I spent as a volunteer at the Carle Bro-Med thrift shop was wasted and frustrating for me. All other volunteers on my assigned day seemed to enjoy what they were doing and did not encourage me to get involved: i.e. no one offered to train me on the cash register, and I felt like a fifth wheel when it came to customers who wanted to buy items.

This is a great place - especially for seniors! For a reasonable monthly fee, you get the benefits of big array of exercise (including yoga) and aqua classes in wonderful facilities run by the most helpful staff I have encountered in places like these.

Fantastic fitness center. The individual level of attention by the coaches and knowing that this is a medically based facility sets it apart from most other fitness facilities. They are truly interested in your success. Yes, a bit more expensive than others, but their focus is on your success, not just inflating the total membership.

Future of health care is here. A place where medical care is seamlessly integrated with health and wellness. The fitness facility offers equipment, services and classes I’ve only seen before at places like the Cooper Clinic or Brooks YMCA. They’ve got everything you need.

This facility is fabulous! Knowledgeable, friendly PT staff. They alao offer a reduced fee membership to the gym while youre doing therapy.I recently utilized there Dexa technology for a full body fat scan. I have never seen this priced lower than $89 and they were offering it at $25!! I signed myself, husband and mother, lol!It appears they may keep it at that price for a while so def call them if thats something youve considered doing, you dont have to be a patient there.

Clean, open, good equipment, has more than most gyms. More of a premium experience and you pay for it with a high enrollment/sign-up fee and membership cost.

Love this fitness and wellness center. Great knowledgeable, friendly staff! Very clean facility! Locker rooms, showers, pool, hot tub, are very well maintained.

Fantastic facility with so much to offer. Friendly staff who want to see you successfully build a healthier lifestyle. Great hours and many choices of activities to participate in.

Very clean facility. It is rather expensive but the aerobic machines have individual monitors that allow you to plug in your earphones and watch cable TV, YouTube, etc while you workout. This has to cost them money.

Best physical therapy center.

This place is amazing!!!! You wont believe how knowlegeable and friendly the trainers are. This place is clean clean clean clean. You will not be disappointed. Well worth the expense.

This is my favorite place in town. Theyre clean, wide assortment of dumbbell and machines. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Best place for a workout! Period! Friendly staff up front and excellent trainers, teachers, and coaches to help you along your fitness journey!

Very nice people

Love this gym very much- very clean, love the walking track, and great helpful staff willing to help you reach your goals.

By far the best gym I’ve been to! The facility is very clean and well kept, with the friendliest staff!

Everything you need, but pricey. Best health club this town has had in at least 4 years, except for the now defunct main Golds.

Generally, its a great facility and staff. And with Covid-19 going on, the staff has a good response in handling how many people can go in, etc.

Great place for any type of exercise. Free classes like Yoga and Water Aerobics are available with membership.

Very clean well run gym. People are helpful and friendly. Pool is great.

Have used for a year and a half as part of hip replacement therapy and will continue using because of the quality of the experience and good results.

Such a wonderful place to workout without feeling overwhelmed. Love all the classes offered.

This is a top notch facility with top notch people working in every category. Get yourself a personal trainer and find out how to be truly successful with your workout regime.

All aspects of this fitness clinic are five star

It really bothers me that theyre not concerned enough with the safety of members to put safety mats down in the locker room and in the hallway going to the pool its extremely slick and someone is going to get hurt sooner or later but they do not care I have reported this to them enough times its clear theyre not going to act on it

Almost ran out of towels. Some staff didnt know what some machines did.

Outstanding services and health center! Lots offered!

Lots of well maintained equipment. Friendly helpful staff. Clean facilities.

They are helping me get my knee in shape after replacement.

Looks excellent I was there with my Mother-in-law for her therapy

Love this gym! Always super clean and has the friendliest staff!

They have a great day care to watch your kids while you workout which is great for families

Great place, great people, up to date equipment, helpful staff ,spacious nothing but great things to say
