    I was a member at another big gym in Melrose Park and their showers were always gross. I am very impressed with how clean the showers are in PF. The staff is always very nice, the gym is always clean, they provide each member with a bottle to disinfect the machines b4 and after use!! Looove that! All the positive quotes around the gym. Everyone complaining about this gym, go to the other big one in Melrose Park and see how quick u come back to this location!

    I really like Planet Fitness in general. My go to place to work out, judgement free. I felt very confident going on different machines despite not feeling like a gym ā€œpersonā€ if that makes sense. This location in general was good. I prefer early morning as crowd is low. Weekends the crowd changed a bit and didnā€™t love that vibe. Generally very clean location and visibly see staff deep cleaning machines but people often left the brown paper (used to wipe down machines after use) at the machines. Like in the cup holders on treadmills. Which I didnā€™t like. But there are so many machines so I just chose a different one when that happened. I met with a trainer for 30 minutes one day and got a personal plan. that made me feel more confident knowing which machines to use. Overall I like the staff and machine variety.

    Love this gym. I was not expecting of how nice and complete exercise equipments they have. I thought to start here before i go to more expensive monthly fee gym, but after 3 months of exercising here, i think I'll stay longer. Many if not all, sanitize the equipments after use. And i feel so comfortable of the vibes of the members, they are seem friendlier and kinder feel than the gym members i used to go too.

    The staff routinely cleans the equipment, floors, materials, and restrooms. The staff are very friendly and greet you, and are totally cool with you asking them any questions and for help. Pricing is great.

    Despite all the regulations and challenges following the virus, this gym continues to be well maintained, clean and safe. The staff is friendly and the owners are very involved

    I'm very surprised this location only got a 3.8 rating, tough crowd. I travel for work and go to Plant Fitnesses all over the country so for this area and Chicago (I'm originally from here), this location so far is the best I've been too. For various reasons; such as, the first time I came here I forgot my gym lock and the employee was nice enough to hold my bag behind the counter for me so I wouldn't have to run back and forth out to my car in the cold. Also, the layout here is open and well laid out. I like how the equipment isn't cramped together. Plus the equipment is nicer than other locations, now don't get me wrong I realize each PF is privately owned. It's very clean here, all the employees were cleaning during my entire hour and a half workout. They're very polite and courteous as I've mentioned earlier with my bag. And the best part for me personally is the lifetime fitness Stnrgy 360 multiple workout cage (training zone) There's kettle bells and ropes perfect for those wanting a little extra in their workout and CrossFit individuals. I know this location is far from the inner city but it's so worth the drive. I honestly couldn't ask for anything more from a PF location. If you haven't been this is definitely a location to check out! Keep up the good work guys!! I'll definitely be back when I'm in town!

  • 3/5 ozeal ā€œadreamboiā€ D. 9 months ago on Google
    This review is from a guy thatā€™s been coming here for 9 months now, so I know what Iā€™m taking about. If you are wanting to use the treadmills then they have plenty, but if you are trying to bodybuild good luck, the only times they arenā€™t crowded is in the early morning (before 11am) or late night (after 10pm) try to work out there at any other timeframe and itā€™ll be overcrowded. The bench press/deadlift machine is never free and the workout beds are also never free. Meaning this is a wait to workout gym. (Perhaps since this is my first gym my expectations arenā€™t in line but I assume that waiting for extended timeframes isnā€™t the norm.) This location has too few machines and too many people fighting for them. Not only that the people will constantly be dumbbell hogs with one person taking 3-4 sets of dumbbells for themselves or hiding them somewhere. The bathrooms are well maintained though, and I doubt there are any thieves you need to worry about. The crowd is mostly Hispanic with a few black and white people, but most of them are kind, the staff arenā€™t knowledgeable but are nice and do a decent enough job keeping the place tidy. Weekend crowds are SLIGHTLY lighter but still heavy. When I say the gym is overcrowded Iā€™m not referring to the place being packed like crazy (unless itā€™s at 6-7pm which is peak hours) rather Iā€™m talking about all the body building machines and any equipment needed to build muscle is ALWAYS taken and youā€™ll have to wait to do anything from 5-25mins, if you have a series of 5-10 different workouts to do youā€™ll be there about an hour longer than if it wasnā€™t crowded. This gym is for people who are patient, like to workout mornings or late nights, or who only do cardio. For anyone else I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU COMING HERE! Also the crowd meter in the app is not helpful, anything above one notch means a wait ESPECIALLY for the bench press/deadlift machine, which is always taken! Keep in mind that this is a beginner gym, it simply isnā€™t equipped with the needed heavy weights for powerlifting or advanced body builders. The stronger you become the less useful this gym is for you. You will see 97% of people with average to decent physiques and 3% with impressive physiques. The variety of equipment is decent but not great. Lastly, half of the entire gym is taken up by cardio machines, thereā€™s too many cardio machines and not enough bodybuilding machines. Thereā€™s been atleast 3 occasions where the crowd was so heavily crowded that I just left out the gym without even working out. The nickname for this gym is planet wait-ness, because youā€™ll wait about 25-50% of your time here during crowded times. DONT BOTHER COMING WHEN ITS CROWDED.

    The club has updated machines, Is large and therefore you have access to the machines and free weights you need. It is clean and bright inside.

  • 5/5 Angelica R. 5 months ago on Google
    I wish I could shoutout specific employees, but I do not know them by name. Instead, I know them as the smiling faces that welcome me and my dad to the gym everyday! We have gone to several locations Forest Park, Schaumburg, and Hickey Hills to name a few, but the Melrose Park location has them beat! All the employees are super friendly! Each facility is very clean! However, there is not a day when I don't see an employee cleaning at the Melrose Park location! The MP location is definitely our favorite! (Not to mention that prior to joining Planet Fitness, I was a member of XPort, also in MP, and there was no sense of comradery.)

  • 5/5 John M. 7 months ago on Google
    My son and I are regular there and always have a good experience. There is plenty of variety of machines and they are always in good working order. Also, the staff is very friendly and do a great job of keeping it clean. So I feel safe there working out.

    The place is great - All machines are cleaned and maintained - The PF crew are great people - The 24hr service is awesome

  • 2/5 Julene A. 8 months ago on Google
    It's always crowded at the Melrose Park Planet Fitness. I don't think they have enough machines for the crowd they get. It's hard to get on the Smith machine. There's always a long wait. The gym etiquette is bad here. People use their phones while they operate a machine. Or they pause a long time between sets. Usually I walk out and never get a chance to use the Smith machine.

    Cancelation process is horrible. When you move you still have to come to your home club to cancel the membership. I donā€™t recommend planet fitness. Itā€™s the worst gym ever.

  • 5/5 Robert F. 1 year ago on Google
    The coaches were really awesome and the community was so inviting! Loved being able to drop-in while in town. Would definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 BIGBOSS W. 1 year ago on Google
    Maybe itā€™s the time I have allocated to go, but love that thereā€™s always equipment available and clean!! I always see the staff cleaning and making sure cleaners and paper towels are stocked !

  • 4/5 Bill L. 11 months ago on Google
    It's still a great gym, although some of the machines were a bit older and some were not operational. Staff is great as usual. I will go back.

  • 5/5 Jose P. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been utilizing this facility for about half a year now and I have to say it's my favorite PF location in Chicagoland. I usually work out early in the AM when there's less people and the gym is often clean 1st thing in the morning. Staff has always been welcoming, curious, and professional.

  • 1/5 Yessie O. 1 year ago on Google

  • 1/5 Gustavo C. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff is great very friendly but beware of your belongings do not leave anything of value in the lockers because they might get broken into and stolen even with a lock

  • 5/5 Margarita L. 1 year ago on Google
    Iā€™ve been going to Planet Fitness for a few months, and let me tell you it is the best place to go to get on your weight loss journey. The bonus is that everyone is very respectful.

  • 5/5 Helen C. 1 year ago on Google
    The gym equipment is new, nice and they seem to keep adding even more. If youā€™re considering joining, do it! You wonā€™t be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Matthew K. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff was super helpful in getting my phone app set up so I don't need the badge anymore. Facility is very clean and well kept, good equipment availability. Other patrons are nice as well.

  • 5/5 Deanna A. 1 year ago on Google
    Cleanest gym in the area! Still fairly new but the equipment is always clean and the staff is very friendly; Plenty of sanitizing stations to go around. Clean locker rooms and bathrooms as well. Starts to get busy after 3pm.
