If you're torn between the Champaign or Urbana locations, the only real difference is size, with Urbana being somewhat smaller. Still worth the price of admission.

All the things you want in a gym: very clean facility, equipment that works, helpful staff. Above and beyond with fresh flowers in the ladies locker room. The best!!!

We are very happy that we joined Planet Fitness. Staff are friendly, there's plenty of diverse equipment and it's very clean. We're sad they are closed right now, but totally understand.

Generally, it's a good gym. Despite that they're trying to cultivate a culture that's not intimidating beefcakes and fitizens, I overheard one of the assistant managers, a female, tell one of the staff that 'ellipticals and Arc Trainers are worthless.' I think for her, being that she looked athletic, may have rung true, but it's clear she doesn't fit the model or demographic that actually go to that gym, nor does her attitude seem to suggest that she's there to help. My point being some people that go there can't do high impact workouts like stair climbers or run on the treadmill, so any activity is better than nothing.To clear the air, get your work out in however you can within your means and comfort level. Don't let beefcakes and fitizens like this person intimidate you from doing something good for yourself.It's inexpensive. They've got pretty well maintained machines and it you need something to eat, they have pizza and bagels on certain days of the month. I only broadcast that last piece because we're in a college town in a more impoverished side of Urbana, so, some people need a meal and to get a workout too. No shame in that.

It's VERY clean, the staff is friendly, the equipment works and there's never a wait, appreciate the inclusive & body-positive environment, fresh flowers in the women's locker room, and the cost is very reasonable. It's a great gym.

The managers do a good job of reporting when things need repair but the hydro massage needs repair and the technicians don’t fix them. #4 is everyone’s favorite but #5 has had issues for weeks and still today. One massage chair has been broken for weeks and the other has no massage in the seat area - only the back. The place is very clean - no issue there. The technicians need to fix things faster. Another club just closed so more joined and it would be nice for everything to work!
