I applied and I didn't get a call back. It soured my relationship with said staff and what made me didn't appreciate our last session was that he had a late night and hangover, meaning he was unfocused towards my progress in our training. I will say, the gym itself was great. Showers and locker rooms are clean, there's just about every machine and weight you can think of, and there were plenty of space. It's unfortunate that I was swindled out of my buck, especially by someone who didn't care about my job situation.

From what I'm told this is an ongoing issue. There are instructors who would cover classes if childcare would open earlier, but the park board will not open even 30-minutes earlier to accommodate their best instructor. Obviously they don't care about their paying customers.

Staff is nice , however no one goes out of their way to help.

Beyond that, don't expect much.

Against my better judgement, my wife joined. 3-days…read moreafter paying, working with their Manager AND a guy from "Corporate", they won't let her in to work out. SHE TOURED WITH THE MANAGER!! Still the restrooms are a mess, lockers always full, occasional raw sewage on the floor in the locker room, steam room NEVER works and at least the equipment is always broken. How hard is it to replace a carabiner or a simple roll of toilet paper for peak hours? There are two rolls on the fixture, can we have ONE that has TP on it and a locking stall would be nice. On the plus side, they keep the locker rooms open while the sewer backs up. Classy. Kudos. I have worked out at gyms all over the country. This one could be OK. Many Genesis clubs are nice! Just a complete lack of caring is endemic of this location. Like it's cursed.

Some of the equipment were a little older, but no tear or wear, just solid. The locker room, the pool, the hot tub, the steam room, and the shower were all very clean! I will definitely come back to use the gym again when I'm in the area.

This is not a gym w/ all the bells and whistles (sauna, CrossFit stuff, etc), but it also comes w/o all the expense! This franchise is relatively new to Springfield and another location is currently being built in town. There is tons of cardio equipment - treadmills, steppers, and elliptical and decent amount of weights. There is also a "circuit" type area set up off to the side. The massage bed and tanning (if you tan) are added perks. If I lived in Springfield, I would likely join.

I wanted to…read morepurchase an item behind the counter but was told they no longer accept cash, only digital payments. Well, basically I will no longer be purchasing anything inside Planet Fitness if I even choose to maintain member ship status. I will bring my own water, and/or tanning supplies. They will be getting zero $0 add-ons from this customer. I'm extremely disappointed in this company. I'm already sharing my frustration with whomever want to listen. One of my room mates, a female says she cancelled and is inquiring at Club Genesis for an alternate workout place. It is quite likely I may do the same.

This is it, the gym that has something for everyone!…read more Convenient location downtown, both on and off street parking, and very secure (member key fab required for entry, cameras in public areas, etc). Your first impression will be receiving a friendly greeting from their staff at the counter. When they aren't helping welcome members in, they can be seen actively cleaning so everything is spotless from workout areas to the bathrooms and locker rooms. I don't know how many square feet the facility is, but the layout is great in that workout rooms are divided out so it's not so open and intimidating as other big box gyms I've been to. Whether you want to workout on your own, work with a personal trainer, try CrossFit, powerlifting, or even body building, they have you covered. It feels like a family environment to be greeted by name by the friendly staff. I enjoy feeling welcomed and not intimidated like other places I've tried. Get down there and try out a free session. Or join them at one of their community events or competitions. We recently enjoyed their CASA fundraiser and loved seeing their small business give back to their community

Weight room is bigger than some, with 3 racks plus Smith, a cable machine, leg presses, etc. Only thing I didnt see was an EZ curl bar, but no big deal. They also have bumper plates and rubberized mats on the floor for deadlifts. (They also have lots of sign threatening charges for "dropping weights," not re-racking your weights, or "leaning weights against the wall.") So be warned, I suppose. I haven't had much interaction with staff here, but from what I can recall, they've been friendly. It's not the shiniest or prettiest AF I've been to, but it's got it where it counts. They've also got a vending machine with drinks. Would definitely come back.

I tried hitting up some other gyms but when I made it clear I wasn't interested in joining a cult or taking out a second mortgage on my house they quickly lost interest in me. The manager here was super friendly and willing to take the time to speak to me without undue pressure. The free weights and cardio machines were adequate for my use but the place is probably geared more for the casual user than the gym rats who want to grunt, groan and slam weights around like Neanderthals. So if you don't need a river of testosterone flowing around you but rather a pleasant place to work out without being judged by how many tires you can flip over than this is the place for you.

They have fitness classes daily and open swim times in their basement pool. It's really great the way it is divided into different levels depending on what you are looking for. Most of the weight machines plus free weights and indoor rock climbing are in 2nd floor. The 3rd floor has a track which goes around the entire upstairs and mainly has cardio equipment. The weights include the only four way neck machine I have seen at a commercial gym. They also have a deadlift platform, power racks, pull-up machine, dumbbells to 120 lbs. Plus they have too many extras to mention. It's a great place that does a lot of good for the community with kids activities and a true health focus. I live close enough to walk and feel very fortunate to live so near. Highly recommend!

While it is true that I am the one investing the sweat equity, I simply could not have moved from where I was to actually enjoying working out on a regular basis.

This place is good for me and I have learned to love it more and more each time I am here.
