East Bank Club

East Bank Club is one of the largest private health clubs in Chicago, spread across more than two city blocks at Kingsbury Street in River North. Members get four pools, racquet courts, a golf area, boxing and cycling classes, Pilates and GYROTONIC, yoga, personal training and physical therapy, along with a spa, salon, market and restaurant. The club sells memberships rather than drop-in passes, so most people start with a tour. An underground garage at the main entrance takes much of the sting out of River North parking.
