Club Five Health personalizes wellness journey through a variety services and therapies
Club Five Health in Libertyville has plenty of equipment and services but operators say it’s much different from the traditional fitness center it is replacing as the anchor tenant of Greentree Plaza shopping center.
“We are not a workout club. We are a medical wellness club,” explained Taylor Miller, chief operating officer and partner in the venture scheduled for a grand opening April 6.
Over the past few months the expansive 45,000-square-foot space at 1163 S. Milwaukee Ave., formerly occupied by X-Sport Fitness, has been revamped, retooled and remade to accommodate what is described as the future of wellness.
Its staff includes doctors, nurse practitioners, chiropractors, physical therapists and other providers using modern technology in a collaborative space to help patients reach immediate and long-term goals, Miller added.
“Our providers help patients with everything from Parkinson’s and dementia to pain and other muscular complaints as well as everything in between,” she said.
The facility features an array of proprietary medical equipment and services, designed for specific health or wellness targets as well as a basketball court, sauna and steam rooms, a pool, yoga, reformer Pilates and other traditional fitness elements.
Which and how a piece of equipment or therapy is utilized depends on want you want to accomplish, says founder and CEO Ravi Patel. He grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin and opened the first Club Five there several years ago.
A clinic-only facility opened in November in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Facilities also are opening this summer at the Arboretum in South Barrington and early next year at Hubbard Woods Plaza in Glencoe.
“We’re in an expansion mode at this point,” said Patel, a nonpracticing chiropractor.
The idea is to get mind, body and spirit working together to optimize health, whether the goal is to live longer, manage pain, boost physical performance, balance hormones, enhance brain and organ health, reduce inflammation or lose weight, for example.
The name Club Five refers to the basic tenets of the business: holistic health, integrative health, physical therapy, chiropractic and fitness, according to Patel.
“This is the future of medicine 3.0,” Patel said. “How can we keep our body healthier and attack the root cause of things.”
Equipment and services such as metabolic testing, regenerative therapy, IV drips or wheelchair accessible hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber are designed and used to improve various situations without surgery or medications, Patel said.
During a two-hour initial visit, staff evaluates a person’s condition and determines short and longer-term goals. The result is a comprehensive, personalized plan to optimize available resources, Patel said.
“We’ll combine everything and anything we have customized to you,” he said.
Subsequent sessions are 50 minutes with members accompanied by appropriate staff.
Club Five is membership only. Medical services memberships start at $2,500 per year and adjust up based on treatment, goals and personalized care plan, Miller said.
Insurance is accepted and the membership is a subsidy on services not covered. Limited gym-only access for $125 per month is available primarily for spouses and family members.
X-Sport Fitness closed to the public in January 2025 and Club Five Health was a new tenant less than a year later.
“We’re excited to see some new vitality brought to the center,” said Heather Rowe, the village’s community development director.
“It’s a really unique wellness approach (and) from what we know of the business will be an attraction to customers from a wide circle,” she added.
Club Five Health joins Frunchroom Collective coffee shop and Caravel Autism Health as new tenants at Greentree Plaza.
