The Godfrey Hotel Chicago Fitness Room

Traveling can make challenging to stick with your fitness routines, but The Godfrey Hotel Chicago is here to help.

Take a look at the new photos of our gorgeous 24-hour fitness room, complete with the latest equipment, free weights and more.  Plus, the extra space in our fitness room allows for exercise enthusiasts to stretch out before or after they’re finished exercising.  Guests can reach their health and wellness goals while having a great time when traveling for business or pleasure.  With the abundant food options in Chicago (deep dish pizza, anyone?), this is the perfect way to maintain a balance on the road.

Our brand new treadmills, ellipticals, and exercise bikes will help you work up a sweat!
