Conviction Fitness and Martial Arts successfully combines conventional fitness programs such as weight training, alternative training, cardio, cross training and aerobics with martial arts.
Conviction's fitness center is comprised of a renovated warehouse with 14,000 sq. ft. that combine areas for weights, cardio, martial arts (including boxing ring and grappling mats), fitness class room, indoor track and locker rooms. We opened November 1st 2009 and average 80 new members per month and currently have over 1000 members. We anticipate approximately 3,000 members after the first two years. Monthly memberships start at $39/month to $59/month.
Conviction offers a fully-equipped weight room with specific areas of the room dedicated to "upper body" equipment and another section dedicated to "lower body" equipment. The weight room consists of over 20,000 lbs and over 50 machines.
Conviction offers the latest in cardio equipment such as treadmills, ellipticals and stationary bikes. In addition running and swimming access to Welles Park which offers an indoor swimming pool and over ½ run around the park.
Also included is a state of the art aerobics facility, men's and women's locker rooms, indoor running track and a “Dojo” (martial arts area) complete with mats and kickboxing ring. The Dojo has heavy bags, speed bags, focus pads and we offer classes in MMA, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Karate and Wrestling.
Combine all the above with Lincoln Square’s unique blend of sights and sounds and Welles Park and you now have one of the premier fitness facilities in Chicago.
