At Lakeshore Sport & Fitness, we’re proud to be Chicago’s #1 destination for sport, fitness, and fun—but what truly sets us apart is our people. From our youngest members in childcare to our most competitive athletes, this is a community built on energy, excellence, and connection.

We lead with our values: Professionalism, Quality, Team, Ownership, and Celebration—and we live them daily. Whether it’s launching a new kids camp, stepping in to assist a family at the front desk, or recognizing a trainer’s impact, we show up with care and high standards. Our facilities are impressive, but it’s our team culture and commitment to a seamless member experience that make this a truly special place to work and grow.

Lakeshore is more than a place to work—it’s a place to lead, connect, and create memorable moments. Our team members don’t just manage programs—they shape experiences and foster community. We take pride in the details, jump in where needed, and believe that when we show up with heart, everyone wins.
