HERITAGE

My dad opened Midtown Chicago with his father in October of 1970. The Chicago club was our original location, and over time we grew across the continent. When I joined the business, my father had already built Midtown into the country’s premiere tennis club chain.

In 1988, after eighteen years as tennis-only clubs, we decided to grow our hard-earned expertise in tennis into new areas, including fitness, wellness, and lifestyle. Then, in 2017, we transformed the business again. Boutique fitness studios were changing people’s relationship with exercise and wellness. We saw an opportunity—to rebuild our clubs as ‘sports and wellness resorts’, taking the best

ideas from boutique fitness to create unique signature experiences at Midtown. We did the same for tennis, focusing on our experiential programming for beginners and experienced players alike. We also expanded the breadth and quality of our resort-like environments, like the café, pools, social spaces, and locker rooms. And we put it all under one roof.

Welcome to the club, Steven Schwartz,

MIDTOWN'S STANDARD OF CLEAN

The moment you first walk into the club you will notice what makes us different: our higher standard of clean. We took inspiration from hospital ICUs to develop our industry's most innovative cleaning protocols and technology.

AIRPHX

AirPHX (pronounced “Air-fix”) technology provides 24 hour sanitization of ambient air plus all exposed surfaces, including fitness equipment, weights, turf, rubber, wood and tile surfaces. Viruses and bacteria don’t stand a chance.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

Our cleaning protocols ensure we don't miss a spot. This includes high dusting, raising the treadmills to clean underneath, turf sweeper machines to properly clean and disinfect the green turf spaces, and specialized deep cleaning projects every week. Our nightly deep cleaning staff does a complete locker room clean every single day.

WE TAKE CLEAN SERIOUSLY

We hold ourselves to the highest standards when it comes to keeping your club clean. We believe it is every Midtown associate's responsibility to help in this effort. That's why we say: "we are all cleaners".

So much more than a place to get fit.

SOCIAL AND FAMILY

Midtown is a place where memories are made, bonds are formed, and life is enjoyed to the fullest. So bring your family, tell your friends, and dive into the Midtown lifestyle.
