STREAMWOOD IL - No weekend couch potatoes allowed! ANYTIME FITNESS in Streamwood, Illinois, is taking over your Saturday nights with dance meet-ups that are open to the public! On alternating Saturday evenings, Anytime Fitness members watch their 4,000 square foot fitness studio transform into a night-club style dance floor. The lights are dimmed, café tables with white table cloths and candles are set up and then a disco stage light show begins as the professional DJ fills the room with music energy.
