🥉We’re honored to share that The Rough House has been named the 3rd Best Fitness Center/Health Club in West Suburban Living’s Best of the West Awards 2026.

What makes this recognition especially meaningful to us is the company we’re keeping.

Many of the gyms and fitness centers recognized have multiple locations, larger staffs, and significantly more resources. We’re a small, independent gym built on hard work, relationships, and a community that believes in showing up for us and one another every day.

This recognition belongs to everyone who makes The Rough House what it is—our members, parents, athletes, supporters, and especially our incredible trainers.

The knowledge, passion, and genuine care they bring to the gym every day are what make this place special. We couldn’t be more grateful for the team we’ve built.

Thank you for voting for us, supporting us, and helping us prove that you don’t have to be the biggest to make an impact.

We’re incredibly proud to represent Lombard and grateful to be recognized alongside some of the best fitness facilities in the western suburbs.

❤️ Thank you, Rough House family.

P.S. We’re incredibly grateful for 3rd place...

But if anyone wants to help us move up a spot or two next year, we won’t argue. 😉💪

🚨 New Rough House Rundown 🚨

Supplements.

The topic you’ve been asking about for months.

The topic we kept putting off because we knew it was going to be a long one.

Well... it’s finally here.

We cover:
✅ What’s worth taking
✅ What’s complete B.S.
✅ How much to take
✅ When to take it
✅ The brands we actually use

No hype.
No nonsense.
No “Ultra Mega Alpha Test Booster 9000.”

Just practical information to help you spend your money on things that actually matter.

🔗Check out our most recent Rough House Rundown at the link in our bio.

And remember: supplements should supplement good habits—not replace them.

Big congratulations to Marypat for winning our Local Love gift basket during our Lilac Time promotion! 🪻💜

During the promotion, members could bring a friend to workout for free and earn raffle entries for a basket filled with gift cards and goodies from amazing local Lombard businesses.

We couldn’t be happier that Marypat’s name was picked. She has been such a huge supporter of The Rough House since the day she became a member — always spreading the word, welcoming others, and bringing positive energy into every workout.

Anyone who knows Marypat knows how supportive she truly is, especially when it comes to the people and businesses she believes in. She’s kind, encouraging, and always fun to workout with.

Thank you, Marypat, for being such an important part of our community. We’re lucky to have you at The Rough House. 💜

We were recently invited to host a Stretching for Gardeners Workshop at The Morton Arboretum — and saying yes was an easy decision for us. 🌱

At The Rough House, we care deeply about functional movement: helping people move better not just in the gym, but in everyday life. Gardening is physical work — bending, reaching, squatting, lifting, twisting — and taking care of your body matters if you want to keep doing what you love.

It was such a fun opportunity to share practical mobility and recovery tools with members of the community.

Big thanks to The Morton Arboretum for having us out. We loved every minute of it. 🌿

💜🪻May’s snack theme has officially bloomed! 🪻💜

In honor of Lilac Time in Lombard, we decided to fully lean into a floral theme this month… which has definitely been a creative adventure!

This month’s lineup:
💜 Lavender Lemonade (let’s just say we learned that a *little* lavender goes a long way!)
🪻 Lilac Blossom Cookies
🍋 Lemon Lavender Bundt Cake
🌺 Hibiscus Berry Mocktail

Some recipes have been instant favorites, some have been “learning experiences,” but that’s half the fun. We’ve loved trying something different this spring and sharing it with all of you. 🪻
