James and Kyle are both awesome trainers that are really helping me achieve my fitness goals. Love this place. The staff members are always very friendly and the place is maintained and very clean. Showers are really good here too if you need to clean up before work.

Been a member for over a year, when I first joined it was always clean and the overnight staff were friendly and helpful. In the last month service has gone downhill quickly. They ran out of soap and hand sanitizer, the bathrooms are not cleaned and the staff is always different and usually from another location. Serious improvements and measures need to be taken to ensure it is clean and friendly.

The price/value and all the perks of being a black card member are totally worth it! Love it all and it is very clean/people are pretty good about cleaning after themselves. And the staff is always polite and helpful. Even during peak busy times I feel like the machines I want to use are still available.

This gym is clean and has great amenities like hydro massage chairs, tanning and tons of equipment. Staff is always friendly and rarely do you have to wait to use equipment.

Lots of weight training amenities! Great tanning beds & hydro massage. Being a black card member means you can work out at any PF in America! My boyfriend and I use the showers while we travel in other states if we have to kill time before hotel check ins or travel long distance. Bloomington in particular is always clean. Every time I’m here the staff is always cleaning! Peak hours are 4-8 so we always come later so we can access all the equipment.

The only thing good about this gym is it’s prices. I started a membership online and was sent a welcome email stating I would get a warm welcome and tour of the gym. I got to the gym and the girl at the front desk had a terrible attitude. I didn’t know where anything was so I’m walking around lost finding things on my own. I was also not aware that I had to bring my lock for a locker.

I have been in the fitness industry for a little over 8 years so I wouldn’t call myself an expert in the artistry of “gym squatting” but I have experienced my share of athletic gyms all over the country - due to my husband’s service in the military ..My husband and I happen to be in Bloomington visiting a friend and we stopped at this PF.When we first entered, the staff happily greeted us. It looked like the kids behind the desk actually wanted to be there. Which is awesome to see.The locker rooms were clean and I didn’t feel like I needed to tiptoe. (Note: avoid fitness gyms in France unless a dirty locker room is your jam.) The fitness equipment was clean and while I was benching, I didn’t have every bro come over and ask if I needed help. HaMy husband was busy running so I asked who I assumed was the manager (she looked legit so..) how to use one of the cardio machines - literally the weirdest looking machine I have ever seen. She laughed and assured me that I wasn’t crazy and it was a fun but hard workout. She even got on the machine and gave me a few tips. I really appreciated her human connection. Then I got on that machine and lasted 11 minutes. HahaMy husband also randomly high fived a PF employee- obviously he was doing something awesome. HaBut seriously, true story.. we really liked this gym. I told my gal friend that we will come back to visit but really it’s just to go to the gym. Ha joking.

An actual review, not someone praising Hanna, then Hanna giving 5 stars.Went in on Monday a couple managers were on site so people were on top of things. Signed up on Tuesday, but apparently only a few are able to do that as I was handed off.So Wednesday morning went to work out and use enhancement machine.Go in, get ready for machine, not working, go out 2 people waiting for clerk, hes like " oh I forgot to turn on" went back still not working, came out and just gave up.Did treadmill and headed to stair machine. There is no one running front desk. Very understaffed. 3 different people came in to workout during my time doing stairs, I simply told them they'd have a long wait haven't seen anyone in a while. They laughed and proceeded to enter and workout. 4th person waiting to be able to use tanning.Also for a new club, several machines out of order. And one of their booths says eyeware required but front desk says it's not.Bottom line I'll be going a little farther for a staffed place and working machines.

I pay for the black membership which includes tanning and unlimited massages. I work second and third shift each time I go in to workout the services that I pay double for are always unavailable because the employee Rob can't handle all of his duties. That would be putting the timer on tanning so I can enjoy what I pay extra for. He also goes in the women's changing room with no reguard to privacy of other females present so he can carry on with his cleaning duties. When I confronted him about the tanning he responded with "This isn't a tanning club" WTF AM I PAYING EXTRA FOR!!!! The fitness center is great until you interact with the particular employee, which turns the entire experience into a complete embarrassment

I have had nothing but good experience at Planet Fitness Bloomington. Every new thing has its kinks to work out but I’ve never had a problem with an out of order machine or the staff. I’m greeted every time I go in and out. Plenty of treadmills and ellipticals, and they provide multiples of the most common workout machines so I haven’t had to wait for anyone. Maybe the club fee info wasn’t very clear at the beginning, but when I signed up in October, they were clear about the fee coming out in November so no surprises there. No complaints here! In my opinion the best value you’re going to get at a gym in BloNo. $10/mo. and a huge space. Great job Planet Fitness!
