Score
Woman's Athletic Club of Chicago appears in inspection records 21 times, starting in 2010. The latest inspection on file is from Mar 31, 2026. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around four violations to closer to eight violations.
“Physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing 15 times across the record.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
