Planet Fitness – Springfield – Wabash Ave

Seems they heard the crowd speak. Staff much friendlier. Do enjoy the no grunt thing.

Totally clean and upbeat club with low membership fees. Very friendly and professional staff. Low cost. While it is true there are not that many free weights, there are plenty of alternatives. Its really a cheap shot to say people don’t work out but simply sit around. Most people are dedicated, they follow a routine and, unlike at several other clubs, you don’t have to be annoyed by grinders and screaming aerobics instructors

I joined Planet Fitness in December for the main purpose of using the 30 minute express workout as well as bikes and treadmills during winter months. I found the staff VERY friendly, the facility impeccably clean, and the 30 minute express room well set up with machines and cardio step stations to get a great strength/​combo workout done.
It was ruined for me because EVERY time I went, there were continually those who would come in who were not doing the workout which totally interrupts keeping heart rate elevated as workout is intended. The sign indicating that the room is only to be used by those doing the workout AND regularly monitored is very small. Each time I ratted out an offender, while very apologetic, it continued.
Instead of feeling energized and full of feel good endorphins from a good workout, I go out frustrated and ready to blow it on having a beer to chill out!!!
Especially disappointed that there is no other option in Springfield. The Curves locations are all closed now, and if I wanted to join the one remaining in Chatham, I expect the price would be way higher than PF.
Epic Fail, PF!

Better than LA Fitness.
