Why did you join?
Planet Fitness was one of the gyms i was able to recognize and i would get access to any gym across the state! Worth it!
Would you recommend it and why?
This gym is one of the best you can get for the lowest price! I am able to a workout anytime i want because this location is almost always empty!
What could be improved? cleanliness, equipment quality, classes, locker room, etc
More security in the locker rooms would help out because i always hear stories about using cheap locks means things will get stolen!
How much progress have you made since joining?
As an active member, i have been able to drop nearly 4% bodyfat.
Tell us about your experience with any instructors
The trainers are to try hards and i wouldn't recommend it unless you want to be sore for weeks ( Sore doesn't mean progress, it means injury!)

Why did you join?
I joined because chicago has bad winters. Winter isn't the best time to get a workout outdoors, so i have to work out at a gym.
Would you recommend it and why?
This gym is near the west loop and offers the best amenities for the price. I recommend it because they offer summer pricing
What could be improved? cleanliness, equipment quality, classes, locker room, etc
Adding more equipment could help out alot. It's always packed here durring peak hours.
What are your goals and how is it helping you achieve them?
My goal is the stay fit, i like working out and listening to music, it's relaxing

Ken
Why did you join?
I joined because I need a place to work out during the winter seasons. This place offered the cheapest pricing out of all the other gyms I've visited
Would you recommend it and why?
NO! I wanted to cheap out on a gym because i thought i would be okay with the minimal. This place is not worth it.
What could be improved? cleanliness, equipment quality, classes, locker room, etc
If they could update their equipment, fix the AC so it isn't hot in the summer.
What are your goals and how is it helping you achieve them?
I run a marathon every year and i just want to stay in shape. This gym helps me get my work out in

Joseph
Why did you join?
This gym provided me with the necessary equipment and locker room essentials for a low monthly cost.
Would you recommend it and why?
I would recommend this gym to others. It may not have every piece of equipment, but it does have what you need to make a difference. The equipment is very good and of high quality.
What could be improved? cleanliness, equipment quality, classes, locker room, etc
The locker room could be expanded on and they could invest in a bench press, but other than that this is a very good gym.
What are your goals and how is it helping you achieve them?
I aim to stay fit and healthy. Planet Fitness helps me do this.
Tell us about your experience with any instructors
I have no experience with any of the instructors since I work out alone.
Tell us about the signup process. What kind of commitment was required?
The sign up process is very easy. Simply speak to one of the member services employees and ask about their memberships. I believe they have three with the main one being $10 a month.

Viola
Why did you join?
I joined because I was only here for the summer and needed something affordable and short term.
Would you recommend it and why?
I recommend Planet to anyone. They have very fair prices and if you get a black tag membership, tanning is included and that is very important to me.
What could be improved? cleanliness, equipment quality, classes, locker room, etc
This specific location did not have AC, I think it was being improved though. I also go to the one in Addison, IL and there is absolutely nothing I could offer to improve that one because it is so new and the facility is amazing.
What are your goals and how is it helping you achieve them?
I just wanted to do a lot of cardio and they have a stair stepper and an elliptical which is what I personally needed and the tanning for $20 a month.
Tell us about your experience with any instructors
I did not have any experience with the instructors.
Tell us about the signup process. What kind of commitment was required?
The sign up process is very easy and fast. I had to cancel because I go to school and don't need a memebership at school and it was an easy cancellation too- no fee.
