A health club by any other name would smell equally sweaty, and such is the case with the former Multiplex, now known as East Lakeview Fitness Formula Club. But for all the sweat involved, the place remains sweet as ever. Between the vast selection of classes and services, a semi-private cardio room for privacy-seekers, a four-lane lap pool and a coed whirlpool, the gym offers something for everyone.

Classes: Aside from a few exceptions—such as Pilates and "Bootcamp," designed to quickly kick your arse into shape—the membership fee allows you take any fitness classes. The yoga room is thoughtfully set apart from the rest of the gym so peace of mind is readily achieved…except when a spinning or cardio kickboxing class is thumping next door. "6-pack Abs," a lunchtime and early evening quickie, will keep you ripped for beach season, and top-notch yoga and Pilates instructors consistently pack in a solid student base.

Extras: Attractive perks include steam rooms, free two-hour parking and 24-hour accessibility Monday through Friday. Nutrition and wellness assessment, kid care and massage therapy are available at an additional cost. Procrastinators and penny-pinchers may want to wait for seasonal discounts as the initial fee rakes $350 from your wallet. Monthly rates start at $80; couple and corporate rates are offered as well.
