Planet Fitness – Madison – Mineral Point

For $ 10 you really can’t complain about much. Nice big area with lots of newer machines and equipment. I wish they had kettle bells. They have WiFi but its pretty slow. Staff is usually friendly and they are always cleaning something.
They do get busy around 5 o’clock. I try to avoid it then because you cant really get a spot near the weights and there are a lot of, what they call, «lunks» there at that time. Guys in muscle tees, dropping their weights, chugging their protein shakes. I once put a weight down at a bench and then went to go get another one and one of them took my bench I was obviously using.
If you avoid this place around their busy times it not bad for what you pay for.

I recently started to go to Planet Fitness. I mostly go to the Mineral Point location, but my membership allows me to go to the South Town location as well. The staff is very friendly and willing to help. The machines are well maintained and it is never overly busy. The first thing I noticed about this gym is how clean it is! The bathrooms/​shower area is always spotless. I love that it is open 24 hours a day! The hydro massage beds are amazing after a long work out.

I’ve been a member here for about 6 months now and really have no complaints. It has the essentials for my workouts so it’s perfect for me. There are obviously certain afternoons that are busier than others, but even so, it never feels as packed the gyms I used to be a member of in L.A.
The staff is great – always saying hello and «have a good day!» Every time I walk by the fitness trainer and he tells me to have a great workout, I may push myself a little more on the elliptical.
I enjoy coming here any time of day, really. No obnoxious meat heads and the women who weight train? Inspiration!

Very very clean! New equipment and super friendly staff!
Love this gym although it’s been pretty crowded since January 1^st but I’m sure that’ll slow down.

I signed up for Planet fitness here after being a member for a few years back east (though I didn’t go as often as I would have liked.)
The gym is the same, though this one has a great 30-​minute workout area, and you can pay as little as $ 10 a month. That’s about the lowest price available anywhere.
Everything was clean and despite everything being decked out in purple and yellow a nice place to work out is provided. Also included in access to a fitness trainer who will set you up with a workout — and is also the reason I left.
How it worked back east: The trainer sat down with you, discussed goals and what’s reasonable and what isn’t, and went through a workout program with you on the spot, setting up exercises, weights, reps, and a timeline for a review.
How it worked here: The trainer talks to you about your goals and what’s reasonable and what isn’t, and sets up a workout within a day or two that makes no sense for your goals and other trainers can’t even figure out what exactly what the point was.
For example: my custom workout didn’t include sets or reps which is kind of important. In addition, one of my goals was to be able to do 30 pushups. Pushups require mostly chest and tricep strength. Not one exercise for triceps. Not one.
Bottom line: if you know what you’re doing then Planet Fitness is the gym for you. It’s cheap and easy and open 24 hours.
If you need trainer help look elsewhere.
