Nothing makes us prouder than seeing our Urban Athlete family out there ccccrushing it 👊! Huge congratulations to Coach Neddy, Coach Chris, Coach Caroline and the entire Urban Athlete crew who braved the snow and cold at this weekend's F³ Lake Half Marathon & 5K at Soldier Field. Watching our community push through challenging conditions and cross that finish line is what it's all about.

Chicago fitness apps are great for variety, but they’re pretty bad for actual progress.

If you’re hopping from studio to studio in Lincoln Square or Andersonville, you’re getting a workout, but are you getting better?

You need a coach, not just a credit rate. At UA, we accept ClassPass and Wellhub, but we treat you like a full member the second you walk in.

Grab a Free Week or book that PT 4 FREE session. Stop “trying out” gyms and start training at one. 🏠💪
