Hi all, was wondering if anyone knew of the best hardcore gyms in downtown Chicago(gonna be there for work for a couple of weeks). Ideally someplace where I won't get yelled at when rack pulling or squatting heavy.

Quads in Calumet City. There is one in Chicago itself but Cal City is the real hardcore.
Lances Gym is somewhere on the westside.

Awesome, thanks! I totally forgot that Lance's was in Chicago. I've always wanted to check it out.

Are there any decent gyms out by Schaumburg? I get out there on business a few times a year and haven't found anything worth a shit.

Yes, usually by the Woodlands Mall. There is a Bally's and a Lifetime. They are ok but it would be nice to workout with a more hardcore crowd.
