Local Favorites: What Gym Do You Head to for a Workout?

Where is your favorite gym to workout at in Naperville?

Have you ever joined a gym thinking it was a good fit only to find, the match was not made in heaven? I once joined a gym, which seemed nice enough until I started going and found many of the gym goers appeared to be one foot out of the grave.
