I stumbled across this gym by happenstance. I own a gym in NYC but sometimes I just want to workout…read morewhen I'm at my house in NJ. The check in process is easy and efficient. They offer a good variety of protein drinks and sugary snacks to power through serious workouts. It is a "powerlifting" gym, but honestly anyone could get a great workout with the types of equipment they have, which is a great variety of dumbbells, bars, row, lat pull downs, seated row, hammer strength, chest flys, kettlebells, cables, bags, ropes and a sled. (I might be forgetting some stuff). If you ever get frustrated because you can't squat or bench due to crowds, THEN THIS IS THE GYM FOR YOU. They have like a million bench press stations, deadlift and squats. Which is honestly the best part. The atmosphere is really kind and yet serious. The culture seems to attract strength goal lifters and not tic toc queens, high school phone scrollers, attention seekers etc. Everyone is also very helpful and I don't get any judgment vibes. The mix is also 40/60 women/men. Yes I'm observant. My goals change from size, to strength to cut to performance based on the time of year and this gym works for all of them. Kudos to the owners for putting together a great place.

I have been eyeing this gym on Instagram for quite some time but I haven't gone until today out of fear of not fitting in. First of all, I was welcomed and a lot of the members introduced themselves which I thought was really dope. I'm really spanking brand new to lifting and so the owner, Michael gave me a ton of pointers that helped me PR. ALSO, with every lift you have an army of folks cheering you on which is always an added plus. I haven't joined quite yet but if you're considering doing so definitely go for it! You won't regret it.

I like the new gym!…read more So I came here because my gym in Clark closed unfortunately and I decided to see what the new gym in Springfield was looking like. The setup is pretty much the same type of set up as every other gym- the only difference is that the main floor is upstairs while the studio floor and swimming pool is located on the lower floor when you walk in along with the locker rooms. When I got upstairs, there was all types of equipment some new- others the same. The gym itself wasn't a lot of people since I came somewhat late. However, the basketball court was pretty live. The cardio machines are facing the windows so it's a pretty nice touch to look out the windows during the day while you are getting your workout on. There is plenty of parking outside- which is great because this gym seem like it could get pretty packed. The only "issue" is that this gym is located on Route 22 which could be a gift and a curse depending on the time of day you go and traffic. Overall, beautiful gym, friendly staff- I would come back!

I'd really like this gym to succeed and gain more members, but I do have to admit the 2nd reason…read morewhy I'm joining is because there are hardly any people in there. I love to work out without too many people around, I feel comfortable, plus there's no wait for any machine. The only hiccup I foresee is the fact that I didn't see more than 1 pair of 5 and 10 dumbells. So if more than 1 person is using one of those weights time could be wasted. Plus there were no 8 or 12 lb weights. There were only 5, 10, 15lbs. Sometimes 10 is too light and 15 is too heavy. A 12lb dumbell would do nicely. The main reason I'm joining is because it's open 24hrs and close to my house. I'm a busy mom of two, who works in the city, has to leave at 6am to get to work and return at 6/6:30pm. Joining a regular gym with regular hours wouldn't work for me. It's slightly pricier than other gyms but for me this works. And I can't wait to try out the classes!

*Must Read* Review from a daily gym goer…read more  Appearance - Clean Gym equipment - All equipment needed, good luck finding at times, scattered all over the gym, they need to enforce re-racking and/or have the staff assist in getting the equipment back to their proper location. Locker / Upkeep - Staff - Maintenance needs to be worked on. Often out of toilet paper. Sometimes flying little bugs in the shower stalls. Locker / Upkeep - Members - Etiquette - pretty good Members / Locker room behavior is okay - You always have some just walking around nude for too long. Gym equipment availability - Barbell's and dumbbells are left all over the gym like if children are at play. Good luck finding the weights that you are looking for. Overall: I decided to go to the other gym down the road at half the monthly cost. Too many don't understand gym etiquette (leave stuff all around/don't re-rack, hog (3) machines/stations at once (happens daily, while they play on the phone for an hour). They try to sign you up fast before you notice all the issues. I highly suggest you do a week free trial before signing up! If you mostly use the pool and/or need a place for your kids while you work out then, this may be the place for you, if not, then you should look elsewhere. So disappointing.

At approximately 6:33 pm today, after checking in a billboard caught my attention so I decided to…read morewalk back to see what it was about, when I walked back my BAG accidentally knocked it over so I gently put it back where it belonged. After that I thought I heard a guy laugh at me so I sped walk because I was embarrassed. An employee "Risa" if that's even her actual name, ran to me yelling at me aggressively and aggressively grabbed my shoulder pulling me towards her. I was confused at the fact that she laid her hands on me. I understand they might've saw the situation differently but she had no right to grab me like that and after I told management she put her hands on me she denied it. Staff was rude and unprofessional aside from the guy who scanned my ID he is always kind to me and my friends. Management didn't do anything to correct her or try to stop her from the continuous insults that she kept yelling at me. I am a non confrontational person so having someone grab you, yell at you and continue to throw insults at you while sticking up their middle finger an EMPLOYEE at that is scary. Not once did I raise my voice at her or any of the staff as I tried to explain the situation, nor did I insult anyone. I even asked management to pull up the footage from the cameras but he refused to stating he had "already spoke to her" (as she continued to interrupt the conversation between the manager and I). For someone who pays monthly to be able to work out at a gym in peace, you would think that the company would have a standard for the type of behavior they expect from their employees. An employee should never lay a finger on a paying customer, especially one who didn't even raise their voice at her and reacting like that over a billboard accidentally being knocked over and picked back up is concerning. I hope LA Fitness can do something to prevent this from happening to anyone else in the future.

Trainer comes up with attitude that I'm using the space despite walking away for 30+ minutes. Came really disrespectful specifically to me despite others also using the space. Came up mid set of mine and only placed a ball down and told me I can't be using the area. What irks me is that there were two people also there using the cable machine. And I've seen other people using it. There was a 30-1hr gap between his clients in which no other trainer was using the area. I was already using it for a while completing 4 sets prior too. I don't mind moving if you have a client but just gotta lmk since I don't see any schedules posted. Otherwise a good gym with good equipment

The gym floor was immaculate and clean and fresh smelling. The bathroom was the same immaculate fresh smelling and clean the equipment however was extremely old and outdated and broken. Every piece of equipment that we tried to use was visibly rotted and rusted broken handles on tricep push down pads, broken on seat seats, and the equipment was not spaced apart enough so that a person could extend their arms to give themselves adequate space to work out. It seems as though this Planet Fitness hasn't had their equipment exchanged in quite so many years, very outdated and very broken and it's a shame because it's really a nice gym.
