Of the few Planet Fitness gyms I've gone to, I like this one the best. It's pretty clean, open 24/7, big parking lot. Only thing I always have an issue with is that there's A TON more cardio equipment than weight lifting equipment.

I started using the planet fitness gym at little village, after I moved to the Chicago area a few months ago. My experience has been nothing short of amazing. They have the most friendly staff and Jonathan, the personal trainer at the gym is fantastic. Among other things, he took the time to create a custom workout plan specific for my goals and the results over the past few months have just been amazing! Try this gym if you get the chance, and ask for Jonathan the personal trainer. I promise that you will also sing his/their praises!

Really clean and nice place to workout. I actually thought about leaving due to moving but I started working out with the trainer Johnathan and he have been really worth the stay. He’s attentive and very helpful when it comes to what I want to approve on as an individual. The group session are also a lot of fun mixed with a hard workout, which completes a perfect workout.

Nice and friendly place. Staff is friendly and helpful. I like the fact that the gym is open 24 hours every day. They just updated the cardio machines and also added a stairmaster. The stretch room is very comfortable, and the hydro massage bed is amazing. I still give the gym 5 stars, but (no fault of the gym owner) I don't like that fact that the gym doesn't have a bench press and a squat rack. I hear that some Planet Fitness do have that equipment, and it will be nice if they added both machines. Still a great gym to go to.

The service here is great. It is always clean and not too crowded. I have the black card membership so i go to workout, tan then enjoy a massage. The hydra beds are AMAZING! Stand up tanning beds give great results. They have lockers and showers. Bike racks available outside which i love because i usually ride my bike here. Convenient location as well.

The planet fitness have plenty of parking the times I've been here. I've worked out in the mornings and every time it has been clean. The personnel are always claiming and making sure everything is running smooth. The place has plenty of workout machines and I've enjoyed them on my workouts.Also there are plenty of TV's to watch your favorite programs, I wished they had Closed caption so I can read what's going on TV while listening to my music. People are focused on working out and when done you can taste a shower and leave clean.I'll keep coming back when I'm near.

This is my favorite PF to go to. The employees are friendly, the spot is always clean, the bathrooms are always clean and stocked, you forever see these people cleaning and restocking. There are always plenty of paper towels and spray. A+ gym!

Don't usually write reviews, but this really couldn't be ignored. Not a bad place. Just know what they're about before you sign up. The whole "we don't want people who have muscles to scare people who don't"...I get it. If people need that to feel comfortable at the gym, great. Whatever works.BUT...This huge space and they have and no benches no squat rack. I'm no body builder or even a particularly big guy, at all. But these are essential to some very key lifts that are a big part of weight training. They have 3 Smith machines, which seemed great. But anyone looking to bench press, military press, bent over row, rack pull, dead lift, squat, or any number of other lifts you do with a free bar, are going to be in line to use them. Even outside of peak hours you are gonna be waiting. Treadmills as far as the eye can see, with no one using them...but if you are lifting you have to wait (and usually a good while).There is more than enough room in this place. I get they don't want big muscle men intimidating people by working out. But when regular men and women can't get a full workout in because they cut out essential equipment to basically any lifting routine, I think that's pretty silly. 2 benches and a squat rack would SERIOUSLY upgrade an otherwise decent gym. Staff is nice. Members are cool. Just obnoxious having to wait so long everytime or alter my workout. It's to the point where I have to reconsider membership....which sucks.
