Think of this as a "Gym Of The Month" contest. Except here, a jury didn't get to choose who gets what. This time, we allowed all the 2,702,217 people living in Chicago to be jurors by picking up various signals they created, including reviews, online & offline sentiment metrics, citations, Google search result rankings, links between websites, brand mentions, social media activity, and more.

Essentially, this competition focuses on the desire to combat rising obesity rates, promote healthy lifestyles, and empower people to take control of their health. We discovered and reviewed all 179 gyms in Chicago, then shortlisted 64 (regular fitness centers, health clubs, yoga/pilates/martial arts studios, etc.). Finally, we ranked them based on their membership cost, facilities, equipment, amenities, customer feedback, and overall impression.
