I've been a member of Planet Fitness about 7 months and have been to probably 25 locations across…read morethe country in that time. At first, this Monona location was one of the worst (bad lighting, felt cavernous) ... since the remodel 3 months ago it's one of the nicer locations. I know people find all sorts of reasons to complain about a gym. I'm quite satisfied and thankful.

After trying a ton of fitness options (i.e., hot yoga, barre, pilates, open gyms) I felt really…read morelost about what worked best for my body and also what my actual fitness goals were. I contacted Luis and we were able to setup a meeting that same week at my gym. My first impressions of Luis were that he was extremely friendly, professional and truly cared about all of his clients. At our first meeting he wasted no time in taking an evaluation of my current fitness level and abilities, we discussed any prior injuries I had, what my diet looked like, and what my short- and long-term fitness goals were. Luis was always very attentive to my form and limits, but consistently pushed me to go harder or farther than I did the week before. If I ever had poor form or was struggling, Luis would instantly catch it and show me a modified exercise that would allow me to maximize my workout without compromising my form. His knowledge of fitness exercises is seemingly limitless. It doesn't really matter what your fitness goals are because Luis will work hard to tailor a regimen that fits YOUR needs and goals. Highly, highly recommend Luis!

During COVID-19 they do not require masks or require their members to practice safe distancing…read more They say they do, but when they are shown that some members have masks on the top of their head for the entire workout (yes, like a hat!) and/or under their chin for the entire workout, they DO nothing about it. Since there is video throughout the club---it's a pretty simple task to handle if safety was even something remotely a concern. Not. It's apparently all about the monies. Sad. For social distancing, most younger members do not respect the '6 feet' recommended safe distance in any shape or form. Some do, but most don't. Most are too busy with their phones stuck in their face to have any consideration for the health of others. Sad. Pretty much most/all the older club members (50+) have disappeared from the club ....and I doubt they will be quick to return, if ever. Sad. Staff members are now only one day a week (Wed) from 12-7pm. Consider some place else.

Don't have the time to get it checked out. It's so difficult trying to find a staff member. I have a friend who wants to try the gym to then become a member. But we never catch a staff member there. We call, nobody answers. Then we go in the morning. Nobody is there. We call the 24 front desk at another location. We are told to come back in the afternoon. I asked for specific hours, since we have jobs that are morning to evening. They said "they stay for a couple hours". I asked again, sooo you don't know when someone is here. They said, yea, and to try calling later. Help me to help you.....

I love how this gym is bright, clean, and open compared to other places I've worked out in the past. Group classes keep me motivated and the HIIT class is awesome. Dakota does a great job challenging and encouraging everyone. He gets to know everyone individually and helps modify the exercises if needed. I definitely recommend working with him as a personal trainer or trying out the HIIT class. There are also fun events and challenges they do at the gym and around town, they stay active in the community! Also they have a mini fridge with cold brew and other goodies from Crescendo coffee which I absolutely LOVE. Can't recommend this place enough.

I simply asked if they allowed tours of the gym before purchasing a membership and he immediately called me poor and I'm better off at planet fitness. Genuinely was shocked at this response. He also claimed he's one of the owners there. Honestly just weird behavior and I would not recommend this place to anyone!

The staff truly cares about helping each individual meet their fitness goals (be it rugby or any activity). I think the public might think that Crossfit is only for some.

Our old boys club side, affectionately known as the V.O.M.I.T.s (Veterans, Old Men, Idiots & Twits) chose CrossFit Sanctify for their awesome facility, staff and affordability and will continue to have them keep us staying strong and getting around the rugby pitch like we're 15 yrs younger.

The weights on the bottom near the boxing ring are mainly free weights,pulley systems, and some machines. All the equipment are pretty close to each other but I didn't mind it. When you first walk-in there are more open racks and a small field to do tire flips or walking lunges etc. the top half is mainly machines and cardio equipment. I was able to use the treadmill and watch some boxing matches which was pretty cool! The men's bathroom/locker room was pretty standard and clean. I went on a Wednesday evening and it wasn't too crowded. I was able to use any machine that I wanted to without waiting. Overall a really cool experience and well taken care of gym.

The gym itself might come across as a little intimidating to those of us who aren't frequent heavy lifters, but once Jenn showed us around, it was much more approachable. She build our workout around everyone's different levels so that everyone felt included and able to get the workout done. We tried machines I would never have tried on my own like the PitShark and the weighted sled. Other members of the club were focused on their workouts, but also super friendly! They have a vending machine of protein shakes and snacks, lots of selfie stations to make videos of your form and personal accomplishments and great music. I really liked that they have a garage door out back that they open when the weather is nice to keep it nice and bright inside as well as getting fresh air in there. I really wish they were closer to me in Milwaukee, but I also appreciate that Jenn does a virtual training plan for me based on my tools at home and skill set. If you need a spot to find your best self and be encouraged and supported to feel like a badass, this is the spot to do it!
