Planet Fitness – Naperville

Limited in size. To be fair, it is currently under construction, but as of now no area for stretching. You feel like you are always about to run into someone else. Not a bad location, and staff seems to be kind. Hopefully after the remodel is complete things start to open up.

Whenever I come visit I go here to get my gym grind on and its great for a good workout. They have all the equipment you really need, clean, big enough, not crowded, and really nice people who work there. I like it! As a visitor or a member. I got a free T-​Shirt outta it: D

Hard to judge the «judgment-​free zone,» but I will try. Nice staff, well-​maintained, never too crowded, cheap. Gotta love PF.

This gym is a great bargain for people looking for a gym and to save some money. You can get 2 people in for $ 20 plus an annual fee and go to any Planet Fitness location which is a great deal.
I’ve been to several other Planet Fitness location, and this one has to be the least impressive. Most of the machines are a bit old; the treadmills have been updated in the last year. Much of the equipment needs to be replaced, and it seems when something breaks it is not fixed. The hip adductor machine was broken for several months before it was removed, and never replaced with a new one.
The staff have always been friendly and helpful, just the gym needs an update. The Planet Fitness franchise is a good idea and the prices are very fair, just this particular location is not as nice as others. If you are looking for a good deal, no frills gym, this is your place. It’s hard to beat the cost, but sometimes you get what you pay for.

You can’t get a better deal on a local gym than Planet Fitness … ten dollars a month? I don’t know how they do it … but, I just hope they stick with the formula. Recently they updated the TV monitors to flat screens … and you can actually see the screens now, it’s incredible!
Sure it’s a no-​frills gym but, it’s got everything I need to workout. Not to mention the first Monday of the month … it’s free pizza night! Reason enough to join!

The other reviews are generally right on. Great value. I wish they would update/​improve the showers and flooring in the dressing room… but otherwise they do a great job and provide good value for the fee.

This is a great gym if your looking for the following: free weights, decent machines, treadmills, ellipticals and a price that won’t break the bank. We all know there are nicer gyms with more equipment but that’s why you pay 3, 4, 5 times the price. Let’s keep it real here people and compare apple to apples not oranges and apples. Some people with there reviews need that perspective because they don’t have it together. If you like Globo gym go to XSport or LA Fitness. If you like Average Joes come here. Now remember the 5 rules or dodge ball. Dodge, Dip, Dive, Duck and Dodge.

This place needs to be renovated for sure.
If you have never been to any other gym and have nothing to compare it to, planet fitness will probably be a good fit for you. Its only ten dollars a month ($ 20 if you do the tanning package also) and it is a judgement free zone… meaning no trainers are going to be bothering you or correcting your form or telling you that you need to increase your weights or run faster. No spaghetti strapped tank tops or sports bras allowed. No grunting and acting a fool. Just average joes trying to get their exercise on.
I will say that the staff are extremely friendly. They are always going above and beyond to help members and answer questions. One time I thought I lost my keys there and the guy at the front desk looked for a good long time before I realized they were in my purse. I was annoyed with myself and he certainly should have been annoyed with me but he didnt show it! Great staff. Below average gym.

I enjoy working out at PF for a number of reasons:
It is bright and clean. It only cost $ 10 a month!!! The front desk workers are helpful, friendly, and greet me by name. The trainer met with me multiple times, free, to develop a fitness plan, teach me proper form on each machine I use, and proper adjustments settings I need to make on each machine according to my height and strength. This information is recorded on a form. I like the 30 minute circuit room with a red light/​green light indicating when to move to the next machine. The gym promotes a nonjudgmental attitude which makes me feel comfortable. Once a month the gym treats members to free pizza and on another day free coffee and bagels from Panera. I wish I had found this place sooner.

Nearly every other visit to the gym, over the past few months, one employee is vaccumming or cleaning, which is great to see! Locker rooms are always clean, no trash on the floors, counters or benches.

I recently transferred from the Melrose Park PF to this location in Naperville. I loved how close the location was then the other one to me.
The staff is extremely friendly, and I always love chatting up the late night people they are fun! I love it because it’s clean, and not too big. Also it isn’t very busy which is awesome for me, I am not fighting for equipment. I absolutely love it there … definitely worth my $ 10 a month for an awesome gym with awesome people!

This place is amazing! Great price, clean, and friendly!
I am a black member aka I pay the extra $ 10 per month so I can bring a guest, tan, go to any planet fitness, and get discounted drinks. I rarely use the extra services but it is still worth every penny.
The staff is really nice and keep the place clean and maintained. The music is at the perfect volume so you can listen or chose to listen to headphones.
I will definetely be staying here for a long while!

Terrible gym. It smells like an elephant’s rectum, they don’t have enough good weight lifting equipment to go around, the locker rooms are grimy, the staff is rude and it’s always packed with high school kids. They also have free pizza sometimes which I find very strange. Who wants to eat pizza while they work out? Can’t they get fruit and veggie platters instead?

I switched to Planet Fitness after Lifetime increased prices (AGAIN!). SO GLAD I made the change. Yes, it’s bare bones– they have cardio equipment, weight machines, free weights, some ab bences, and a few stability balls. No classes, no pool, no sauna/​whirlpool. So they don’t have the stuff that you pay extra money for and never use. They only have what you need to lose weight or stay fit, for $ 10 a month.
It truly is a friendly environment for working out. The staff is friendly, the morning guy knows my name and number and types it in before I even get in the door, and he always greets me by name.
The same customer crowd is usually there in the mornings, and many people have a friendly smile and hello.
I’ve always found it to be clean and well maintained. I see the staff wiping down the machines regulary, and broken machines are repaired within a reasonable period.
I will work out here for as long as it is in business.

If you are looking for basic set of equipment like treadmills, cardio and regular weight workouts ‘at a cheap price’ I guess you should sign up for this.
They don’t have too much fancy stuff like sauna/​swimming pool/​zumba or yoga but hey its only $ 10 a month.

$ 10 a month ($ 35 yearly fee) Good.
They have Dumbbells from 5lbs to 75lbs at 5lbs increments which you can use with multiple kinds of benches.
They have barbells which includes, I believe, two 7ft bars, 2 6ft bars, 2 ez-​curl bars, and I think something else. They now have a weight tree right next to it so you don’t have to cart weights or bars all across the gym like you used to years ago. That’s cool.
I’ve never seen the lunk alarm go off, which I think is also good. People can do deadlifts and whatnot, but nobody grunts that loud or drops the weights excessively, so I’m glad they let us. I know some locations don’t allow this.
They have a couple leg press machines.
There is also all the treadmills and whatever cardio machines.
PLEASE ADD!!!
One thing to give it 5 stars for the price is if they add at least one power rack. They’re fairly cheap and you can do real squats and bench presses on them without issues and they come with bars so you can have a safety and not need any spots for either exercise. I see people do bench press and squats in the Smith Machines as have I and it is just awkward. I bet people would use it. Please add a power rack. Heck, you can go cheap and get a good one for $ 350 if you didn’t want to go heavy duty and the one I’m thinking of has a 600lbs limit.

Yeah, I don’t go as often as I should. Oops.
First, the few negatives: a lot of the equipment looks like it is on the verge of destruction, or is actually out of order entirely.
Secondly, it is unbearably hot in the summer. Can we have a little AC?! I’m moving a lot of flab around in there…
Finally, the staff is hit or miss. Some are incredibly non-​judgmental and friendly, while others are clique-​y, unhelpful, and a little cold.
Now, ALL of the positives: for the most part, the clientele truly does not judge. Some people, dare I say, smile.
Also, if someone DOES judge (or some show off drops a weight, or does some other exercise in jackassery) the staff is totally willing to hit the «Lunk Alarm,» an actual alarm that sounds throughout the building to let you know someone’s being a jerk. It’s nice to have a little comic relief when you hit minute 43 on the elliptical.
The aforementioned friendly staff truly are friendly — wishing you hello and goodbye, asking if there’s a problem, etc.
The place is ALWAYS clean. The TVs are varied, functional, and always on — the magazine selection could be worse, and the strength training equipment is fantastic.
And finally, the price. You canNOT beat the monthly rate. LA fitness and Lifetime (both very nearby) cannot even come close — they both charge more than double the price.
I wish they could fix it so an alarm sounded each time I didn’t bother to come in for a workout, but I guess nobody’s perfect ;)

I love it. Open, clean, lots of equipment, be it cardio or weight machines. Also 24 hours during the week. 7 – 7 on the weekends. Perfect hours.
I do wish there were more free weights, maybe on the other side of the gym.
I dig it. I have yet to try the 30 minute workout room, similar to what «Curves» does, with a cyclic room with a stop/​go light.
One downside, no wifi… which I think is very important for smart phones.
Check out pizza night and bagel morning.

I’ve been meaning to try Planet Fitness for a while because my friend has been going here for a few months and he’s always been telling me that I should check it out. So, I checked it out and I can honestly say that I’m a fan of Planet Fitness.
As soon as I walked in I saw signage that promoted a «Judgement-​Free Zone» which is awesome because I don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to working out. I also saw a sign that said free pizza on the first Monday of every month – I’m not sure why a gym would do that, doesn’t eating pizza defeat the purpose of working out?
Anyway, Planet Fitness is a clean place with free weights and plenty of machines for you to get a full body workout as well as get your cardio on. Just make sure you’re there at a good time because, depending on the time of day, it can get pretty packed in there.
For $ 10 a month and an annual fee of $ 30 you get to access to the gym & tanning beds from 12am Monday through 9pm on Friday and 7am to 7pm on the weekend. Sounds like really good deal to me!
I highly recommend checking out Planet Fitness if you have a friend that is a member because I think members are allowed to bring a guest for free.
Oh yeah, I ran into Howard L while I was there. This is the first time I’ve run into a fellow Unilocaler outside of the Unilocal events! I wonder who I’ll run into next!!!
Holla!!!™

Is this where Willy Wonka works out? Planet Fitness in 4 words: no frills, candy colored.
Picture purple walls with motivational quotes painted in yellow. Purple and yellow machines, purple and yellow railings, purple and yellow everything! You can even grab a handful of purple Tootsie Rolls on your way out. Trippy.
Loud and bright colors aside, a monthly membership here costs a slim $ 10. WHAT?! I’m willing to go near color blind for that. Deal! A one day pass runs $ 20… though I hear there’s an activation fee for beginning your membership in the first place. Can’t beat the value for the number of cardio and weight lifting machines here.
Be advised that you’ll need to bring your own towel (s), lock to keep your belongings safe in the locker room, and headphones if you want to plug into the treadmills to tune in to the tvs hanging off the ceiling.
