What local businesses do you love, Lemont?

This week, Patch is launching a new "Local Favorites" feature, which gives readers a chance to tell us what they think of Lemont businesses and which ones are their favorites. All you have to do is review the business listings on our site, and we'll determine the Local Favorites.

For our first feature, we're taking a look at local fitness centers/spots to work out (after all, New Year’s resolutions are still in full effect, right?).

The question isn’t just for hardcore gym rats but residents of all shapes and sizes: Where is your favorite place in Lemont to get in a good workout?

Whether you’re interested in burning calories on the elliptical, taking martial arts classes, lifting weights or something a little more choreographed, let us know, who’s your pick for best place to workout in town. 

In no particular order, here are the nominees:

• Cardinal Fitness, 1120 State St.
• CORE Fitness and Aquatic Complex, 16050 W. 127th St.
• Curves, 106 Stephen St.
• T-USA Martial Arts, 1136 State St.
• YK Martial Arts, 1243 State St.

How to Vote

To pick your favorite, simply take a moment to click on each business and post a review in our Places Directory. The “Local Favorite” winner will be based on the reviews received on each directory listing, as well as the comments below.

Reviews posted between Monday morning and noon Friday will be taken into account during scoring.

And Patch fans, let's keep comments constructive and friendly. Obviously opinions will vary, but this feature is meant to highlight the great things about Lemont businesses, not the bad.

We want to collect as many reviews as possible, so be sure to tell your friends to visit Lemont Patch and submit their comments, too.

If you have a suggestion for a future Local Favorite topic or if your favorite business is missing from our list, email Lemont Patch Editor Amanda Luevano at amanda@patch.com.
