Inspectors have visited Crosstown Fitness seven times, with records going back to 2013. The latest inspection on file is from Oct 16, 2019. High risk indicates the latest inspection turned up problems worth knowing about. Note that Crosstown Fitness's inspection history hasn't been updated since Oct 16, 2019; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around one violation to closer to five violations.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean”, showing up four times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
