Planet Fitness

I just recently moved to Chicago and was very excited that I could walk to this particular gym. Plus there is a large parking lot for parking. It is next to a sports complex so on the weekends parking can be hard. Walking into the gym was not pleasant. On 5/23/23 I walked into the gym to find two of the associates seated in the hand chairs playing on their cellphones so I had to self check in. Most PF gyms staff checks you in and greet you with a smile. Not here the equipment is in good condition and the gym was not that crowded which made me have a smooth workout. Sadly the gym was filthy and not one associate seemed concerned enough to clean. The floor was very sticky and trash was all over the place. Around 08:30 a tall light skin associate arrived and did an assessment of the place. When I was leaving around 09:15 the two associates were still on their cell phones one in the hand chairs and the other in the black card lounge area. The tall lady had a bucket and some spray bottles so I’m assuming she was going to try and clean up the gym. I would really like to use this gym but not with it looking like this.I gave 3 stars only because the gym is never crowded and the machines are always available

If i could give this place a 0 stars i would. It’s convenient for me because i live in the area but I’d rather jog around parkway at 3 o’clock in the morning with 5 million dollars hanging out my pocket before i step foot into this gym again. I’m a gym goer so i don’t mind planet fitness at all but this one is disgusting. It’s dirty as hell. Equipment is all over the place and no one wipes it down or puts anything up. The mirrors literally are filled with finger prints and the bathrooms/locker rooms smell like sewage. The only good thing is the manager Devon. Great energy and always working. But this place needs a huge transformation. I’ll definitely be cancelling my membership and driving downtown to XSport instead. Get it together.

The gym is on the small side but considering the location and floor space they have a very good variety of equipment. The staff is friendly and the locker rooms were very clean but the showers and gym could have been cleaner. It’s also really really hot in the gym floor but the locker rooms are a good relief. I appreciate the members, everyone minds their business and cleans up their equipment after use. Nobody is playing music over speakers or sitting on a machine texting on their phone. Solid spot filled with ppl working out and moving on about their day.

This gym is in a great neighborhood who can benefit from this gym, however the parking lot is always DARK. how can you be 24 hrs and don't make it safe for your members to walk in. Please put light in the parking lot. Get better staff who don't sit around on their cell phone or face time. last but not least get better equipment. The location was the old Ballys and you had to be a special member to join and the equipment was great and parking lot had light.. Do Better
