Charter Fitness Opened its Doors in New Lenox

The sign may not be up yet, but Charter Fitness opened the doors to its newest facility Tuesday on Route 30 in New Lenox. The new facility is supposed to take the place of two other Charter fitness centers. The other two, which were previously called Cardinal Fitness, are now closed. The gym at 2465 E. Joliet Highway and the one at 800 Laraway Road now stand vacant.

The new facility at 1325 E. Lincoln Highway is more than double the size of it old facility at 2465 E. Joliet Highway, said owner Ray Grzesiak.  

The new facility has expanded hours, updated equipment and lots of parking, he said.

"We have updated cardio equipment and an outside running track," Grezesiak said. The track is currently covered with stone, but it's soon to be paved. The center features a group fitness studio, a members' lounge that's soon to have free Wi-Fi access and a mezzanine for floor exercise equipment. On-site child care is provided as well. He boasted that the locker rooms are bigger too   

All total, the new fitness center has over 85 pieces of cardio equipment, including elliptical, Stairmasters and bikes along with an extensive weight area.

The new facility at 1325 E. Lincoln Highway is more than double the size of it old facility at 2465 E. Joliet Highway, said owner Ray Grezesiak.  

Charter Fitness is open from 5 a.m.-11 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 5 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday and 7 a.m. -7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
