Two weeks ago I was shopping for a new gym and I went into PWC. My plan wasn't to sign up but just…read moreshop around. I was greeted by Mary who was super friendly and she showed me around. Mary did such a phenomenal job making me feel welcomed I signed up. I recently moved back to Akron after living in Arizona for ten years. I've been a member simultaneously at different gyms for various reasons. I must say Personalized Wellness Center holds up with the best of them. After being a member for two weeks at PWC and coming in at different times here is my sincere review. 1. PWC has a nutrition bar where they make fresh smoothies and offer supplements. (get a fresh smoothie after/before working out) 2. PWC is open 24/7 so you can work out at your convenience. 3.PWC has free weights,bicycles,treadmills,ellipticals, a track and a ton of machines. 4.PWC also has a daycare for kids,a rehabilitation center and also personal trainers. 5. PWC has a practical and reasonable monthly subscription 6.Mature crowd 7.Sauna I've been to gyms on the west coast were you pay $129 a month and gym's were you pay $19 a month. It's the same workout,whether you pay 10k for a rolex or ten dollars for a timex they both tell the same time. The more expensive gym's, yes did have newer equipment, fancier tv's, state of the art sound systems, big smoothie and supplement stores. At the end of the day your body & health transformation depends on YOU!! You have to go into the gym you have to lift the weights,you have to get on the treadmill and you have to want it. Typically not always but typically those big "franchised gyms' it's more of a social hour and people wearing too much cologne/perfume. That doesn't happen at PWC I highly recommend PWC it has everything a big franchise gym has but yet gives you the at home feel

I joined this gym because I was dissatisfied with globo gym up the street.

What this gym doesn't have is gymfluencers with tripods, lines for the squat rack, and soap dispensers that don't work. The only thing this gym is missing is an underdog dodgeball team!

I don't have a lot of expectations for gyms mainly because I don't gym much. My daughter requested…read morea gym membership while on holiday break, so I bought us a PF membership. When we visited, the staffer was very friendly in explaining how things work. They don't offer pizza or bagels currently, but they're working on getting that action going one or two days per week. We downloaded the PF app and checked in digitally. I invited my daughter as my guest. The locker room was clean, the locker doors are all in tact, and you have to bring your own lock or get one from the front desk. I used a treadmill and an ellyptical for about 45 minutes for my first workout. The equipment worked perfectly, including measuring my heart rate, calories, and time. The treadmills are height and speed adjustable and they face a row of TVs for your viewing pleasure. I listened to my own music, even though there is music playing in the background. You have to clean the equipment each time you are done with it, but not everyone does this and when they do, they don't actually make an effort. But I make an effort to clean the equipment because I understand why we have to clean the equipment. On my second visit, I was able to use some of the weight machines, which I very much enjoyed. This location is not very crowded, so that is my jam.

I canceled my membership in August 2025. I found out recently that I was still being charged. I…read morereached out to my bank and had them put a cancel on the payment. I also reached out to the 800 number and spoke to a customer service rep. This individual was extremely rude, snarky, and not helpful at all. He told me that if I don't make the payment that he would put me in collections, and it would hurt my credit score. He also continued to ask me if I had any type of proof that I canceled my membership. The phone conversation ended up with me hanging up on him. 10 minutes later I start receiving multiple text messages from planet fitness telling me that I owed them membership dues. This was followed up with an email from planet fitness saying that there is a $20 late charge for a membership that I canceled last year. I went to the club and spoke with an employee and he helped to resolve my issue. Unfortunately, this review hits the Copley Fairlawn club not the general customer service of planet fitness.

I am 67 years old and have tried many gyms with and without personal trainers as well as one on one…read moretraining. None of them had a central focus other than cardio, or maybe weight lifting etc. Alloy Personal Fitness in Fairlawn looks at the individual and tailored a program for me. The best test for your current fitness status is a DEXA SCAN (1-2% error rate) which evaluates your fat percentage, lean muscle mass, and visceral fat using low-dose X-ray. Alloy uses "InBody" (3-4% error rate) machine. InBody provides an electrical scan using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to estimate segmented body composition analysis. I've never been to a gym/trainer that provides you with this analysis and helps you tailor a fitness/strength training program to fit your goals. The training staff here is educated and focused on seeing you meet your goals. This place wants you to return every week and misses you when you're not there. I encourage anyone that wants to improve their mobility, balance, stamina, strength and overall fitness needs to check this place out.
