Best sports program: Lakeshore Athletic Club-Lincoln Park

Sports nuts, this is your gym. In addition to traditional classes, Lakeshore offers adult and youth tennis programs, racquetball teams, squash courts, a kids’ gymnastics program, a boxing program and fencing courts (it’s extra to play), as well as specialized trainers to help improve your game. Lakeshore also offers youth sport programs by the boatload, ranging from individual classes to full-on summer camps. Adults looking to amp up the social aspect of sports can do so as well. Want to get to know club members off the court? The gym hosts periodic sports parties where members can play games of squash or tennis, then mingle with teammates over refreshments.
