High Risk

Across the available record, Xsport Fitness has 11 inspections on file, the first dated 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on Oct 31, 2019. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones. The most recent inspection at Xsport Fitness is from Oct 31, 2019, and nothing newer appears in the public record.

Recent visits have produced comparable findings, with counts hovering near three violations per visit.

“Refrigeration and metal stem thermometers provided and conspicuous” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing three times across the record.

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.
