First: I AM NOT A MEMBER!!!!! Second: I'm not going to become a member. Third: Nice clean gym with adequate equipment. I waited 10 minutes for someone to say -"How can I help you" from behind a glass partition! When I said I'd like to tour the facility they wanted to sell me a membership--ARRRRRG. I saw the facility a week ago but saw construction going on!!!! Postscript--I applaud the PROMPT customer service response from corporate inviting me to talk to a GM at the location, but by difficulty leads me to believe that poor management may be the issue--I have a number of friends who are happy here, but no need to ask again as I just ordered a $7,000 LifeSource treadmill and $1,100 Schwinn AirDyne. I'll work out at home read more

Good: Available Hours Bad: Customer Service, when standing at the counter usually no ones available. However if someone is behind the counter they do not acknowledge you when they are assisting another customer. I've literally have stood there for 6 minutes with no acknowledgement trying to sign up for message chair but ended up just walking out. read more

Easily the MOST unorganized PF I've ever been in. The weighte are never where they're supposed to be.

This planet fitness is truly one of the best gyms on the south side of Chicago, however they just hired a new customer service rep whose attitude is stinking up the spot !! There's an old lady that works there now named Tanya. (My apologizes if she identifies as something else I'm not sure) She not only was rude and disrespectful, she continued to try to attack me after I got someone else involved. Trying to be tough with customers won't get you far. Customer service just isn't for every one and it's unfortunate that one bad apple can truly ruin the bunch. read more

Not even going to lie. This is one of the best planet fitness I've been to out of all the ones I've been to. The one in oak lawn is in my top list but also is this one. I prefer this one and the oak lawn one over the one that's downtown and the one on 47th. I like the fact that it's very spacious. The air feels clean unlike the small planet fitness on 47th and downtown. People are friendly . I was working out last time and this guy gave me a tip on how to work on my shoulders which was cool! Last week I took turns with someone using the smith machine cause he seen I was waiting. I've been coming to this one for the past 2 weeks and I intend on coming back! Highly recommended ! read more

So, I walked in the cancel my membership over a year ago. I just saw an annual fee deducted from my account in the amount of $39. When I called, Noel was rude and told me my account was on a freeze and that I had signed off on it. I walked in to cancel my account, not freeze it. An employee not doing their job properly is not my issue. I recall being asked to sign the credit card reader then went on my way. The whole exchange was no more than 5 minutes. I'm a member elsewhere and definitely have not considered this gym since moving back to Chicago. When I asked for Noel's position, she said "I don't have one." Don't go here. Staff and members are ghetto. She told me to speak with Jeanette on Monday since no one was in today who could help me. Today is Wednesday. Looking for a number for corporate now. I called the location back about an hour later and spoke with a gentleman who said that Jeanette would actually be in today at 11am. Called back around 1pm and Noel answered. I asked for Jeanette and she said she would be in around 2 (after telling me that she wouldn't be in until Monday when I first called). read more

Super uncomfortable with employees who are hitting On you while you workout. He went as far to catch me leaving out of the locker room to tell me I look good. It was around 11pm yesterday, I'm a female and I appeared to be alone since my friend worked out in another area. I expect creepy behavior (him waving at me while I deadlift and gazing at me from the corner) from other gym members BUT NOT THE STAFF. I fear for the safety and comfort for other female members working out alone. He was tall, dark skinned with a low box shaped cut. I would say he's 6'3. I was too scared to get more information and had to run out to safety. This was my first time at this location in years. read more

I had cancel my membership back in February of 2020 due to my back injury and I was told that I couldn't workout until I completed therapy. Planet fitness is still coming in my account taking money out. I have not step one foot in this gym. When I called up there I was told my membership was not fully cancel cause I had a balance of $63 for the months of June and July of 2020 Mins you I cancel my membership back in February. I want all of my fees back that was taking out of my account after February of 2020. It shouldn't be such a hassle to cancel a membership ‍ I Will be also giving this info to BBB ASAP! SMH read more

83rd S Holland location: Clean, well managed, and friendly staff. Best PF in the city and suburbs. i've been to 6 locations and this is the best so far. next best is 130th ashland calumet park. read more

This is a review of the 83rd and Holland location. Everything is fine except that they allow this one individual to have exercise classes and they take over entire sections of the gym and are really loud. It is intrusive and annoying. The facility is not set up for classes. Also, I am sure that I have seen signs that say "no training". So why is he aloud to do so? One other concern is that people sometimes sneak past the check in desk. I have seen it happen on numerous occasions. Other than that, the facility is nice, clean and operational. The staff is very cordial and nice. read more

Although a great and clean gym the staff sucks their lazy and do as less as possible. I will never come to this location ever again. I wish I could give a negative star read more

Easy check in . I can workout at times when it's not crowded. It's kept clean and I observe patrons doing their part to sanitize after their workouts. There could be more info on how to use the machines. While you can use your phone to scan a machine and get details, I don't want to carry my phone throughout my workout. This being the digital age, I know that's an easy solution but it minimizes interaction with staff who should be paying attention to patrons to see if they are doing things right. Staff is helpful when you ask for assistance. read more

Only reason I come here is because it's close to my house. But my goodness! TV's never work, machines are broken, ALWAYS VERY VERY HOTTTTTTT, sigh the list goes on read more

Planet Fitness - Gyms Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have gym memberships at several fitness chains and am in multiple gyms every week. Out of all the gyms I go to, this particular gym is by far the cleanest. That means a lot to patrons like me who live in gyms. Other gyms may have better equipment, but I'm in constant fear of contracting something even with wiping down equipment before and after use. If this sort of factor is important to you, then rest assured, this is a great place to workout. Additionally, the staff on all shifts, 7 days a week, are friendly and welcoming. read more

I've been a guest for a little while and this place is disgusting it's always something wrong. The machines are always broken and the manager is always just looking spaced out when I complained to her the few times. I will Not Be signing up for a membership and I'll also make sure to tell everyone I know not to sign up either! The staff is usually fine so no complaints there. I come in the mornings mostly and sometimes the evening... You guys need to step it up chatham read more

Planet Fitness - Gyms Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've been to about 10 different Planet Fitness locations in the past few months and this is by far the best one! Great staff, awesome energy, and not to mention the cleanest I've seen as well! Even the showers were on point (the water pressure feels amazing!) Genet and John deserve a raise and recognition. 5 stars well earned! read more

Great customer service and friendly employees. Very Clean and working and functioning equipment. Clean locker room.

I really enjoy my gym membership here . The facilities are very clean the staff is courteous and the equipment is state of the art I don't have to wait for a machine probably due to the time I come but I have no complaints really read more

Planet Fitness - Gyms Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I choose this gym because the Charter Fitness close to my house closed. It was first time at a Planet Fitness. The employee was nice enough, although I had to ask for a tour. When the younger employees are at the front desk, they are on their phones and don't look up to greet you. The restrooms and lobby could be a little cleaner, but overall it's a good gym. There are always machines to use. read more

This location has no security there have been 34 car break ins in their parking lot. The desk staff told me "oh there was another one" I have canceled my membership I have been there for 5 years, There is no caring in the staff. I hear that other locations are ran MUCH better but in this community its ran poorly. Now i have to go out of my location for better and safer service - very sad read more

Dishonest business practices and deliberately misleading about billing. Outdated cardio machines with poor controls. Poor selection of strength equipment. read more

Staff is nice, gym is clean but has roof leaks if it rains. Friendly environment with patrons helping other patrons get in shape.

I came in to get my membership renewed and to my surprise I had a balance that had to be paid. The balance was more then what I had expected to pay for an membership that day. The staff was so courtesy and concerned that I got what I needed. Anica was the nicest and when she could do exactly what I needed she went and got Eijuawn (I think that's the spelling) who worked to make sure I was able to get my membership. I really appreciated the way they made sure I was happy and made me feel like I would want to gone there and workout. This was a mouth ago and even when I see them while in the gym they are always up beat and very courteous, making the gym not seem so bad but welcoming. Keep up the great job guys! read more

This location and planet fitness in general is a joke. They take your money off your card whenever they want and won't let you cancel even when you don't even access or use the gym. The manager at this location is name Tameka and she is never there especially in the morning when a lot of people like to do business. I don't recommend this gym to anyone. Oh and don't call planet fitness corporate that can't help resolve issues either. You are better off paying more for LA Fitness or XSport, you can cancel anytime whether you owe a balance or not u like PF. read more

Been working out for a couple years decided to try Planet Fitness X member of LA Fitness I would just like to say the staff on 83rd absolutely wonderful the gym is always clean a special thanks to the manager Daniel for being so polite so inform about the workout machine and helpful and not making me feel intimidated by his expertise after standing on my feet for 8 hours working I still look forward to coming to Planet Fitness on 83rd to get a good workout in thank you so much and thank you for your wonderful staff keep up the good work Daniel and staff read more

I like this gym because it's empty during the times I go and and it's clean. The staff (not all) sucks. As usual they are rude for no reason. The manager Jeff, and an overweight female employee are the worst. You be lucky if you get the moronic staff, who aren't as asinine. read more

I just became a member, the gym is nice and clean but it is slightly limited as far as bench free bar weights go. I was a little surprisd by that but besides that its a gym and I'm a gym rat so loving it is going to be an always. read more

I Like the Gym it is affordable and the staff is friendly and helpful the gym is clean all the equipment in great shape everything works for me as a beginner gym person read more

This is a gem in the community. Its clean and smells nice. I can even say the staff is pleasant and helpful in dispute resolution.

Tatyana and David run an awesome ship!! Working on trying to find my pre-teenager's body again! Finally the boys are old enough to work out too and let Mom be!! Great to have such a well run facility so close to home! I will post pics when I am sexy Momma again!! read more

In short, the customer service is in dire need of improvement. Upon coming in on multiple occasions, the desk staff stares you down until you speak to them and upon leaving no one bothers to say goodbye. The Pullman location is nothing like this. They greet you, say goodbye and even make small talk if you're near the desk, anticipating any need that you may have. The Chatham location needs serious work in the customer service department if they want to maintain their clientele. read more

No toilet paper in any of the br and broken machines. Worse pf I've ever been to. Woman at front desk too busy flirting. Instead of ringing me me up for a water read more

The parking lot is a maze . There are no lines to separate each individual parking space. The parking lot is like a free for all, just park your car anywhere at your own risk!!!!! read more

I've never been a "gym" person. But I was thrilled to learn of the opening of the Chatham facility. I don't need the "frills" or the expense associated with most gym memberships. The membership fees are affordable and the facility is great. I take advantage of the Personal Training sessions as much as possible. The proximity to my home takes away the excuse not to work out because I have to travel across town to the Evergreen Park location. read more

I was thrilled to see they opened a location of Planet Fitness near my house because I was driving to Evergreen Park where I originally signed up at. This location is not only clean and has friendly staffers and especially Cordell who started out in the Evergreen Park location and then was moved to the Chatham location. The gym is still getting up off the ground since some areas are still in construction. Some Planet Fitness locations have on site hair barbers where VIP black card members can get free haircuts, but this location doesnt have that, but they do offer the use of massage beds and chairs and tanning beds. They do enforce the NO gymtimidation rule and that is you come to exercise not to show off or pick up people which seems to be an issue at gyms like LA Fitness and Formula Fitness where people come there to pick up someone instead of working out. I like how you come there and nobody bothers you. I also like how Planet Fitness stays open 24 hours in some locations, but I would like to see this location stay open later than just 24 hours Monday through Thursday and Friday hours from 6a to 9pm and 7a to 7p on Saturdays and Sundays. Overall the gym is top notch on standards and what I like is the free personal training for their black card members so take advantage of that because personal training sessions are charged extra at other gyms. This gym is not in Roseland when it comes up it's located in the Chatham neighborhood. read more

I will never recommend these people! I came here to cancel after it no longer became convenient for me to travel back and forth by bus with my new apartment location by public transport. These people had the nerve to not only to charge me a fee of $58 because I have the black card member (which I ironically got for the convenience), but the regional manager of this franchise lied to my face about how it was my fault it didn't read the FINE PRINT because she always read the terms of agreement. What a liar! The fact that she could lie with such ease to a paying customer is disgusting. I have never heard of such a fee this high for a gym that's name isn't the east bank club. I will warn everyone I see from now on about planet fitness and their shisty, money grubbing ways. They wouldn't even let me speak to the owner of the place (after they stupidly told me the one downtown would be closer to my Hyde park apartment, 15 minutes, so not only does the regional manager lie to my face but doesn't even know where Hyde park is and its relationship to downtown. Why would I go all the way downtown to work out by bus and train? not everyone has a car!) customer service was COMPLETE garbage. No one was helpful in the least as they smiled in my face while telling me to get over it. Never again. Even if they are the last gym if earth, NEVER again. I see why they have a trash rating with BBB. I wish I had known about their ratings with them before signing up. Don't sign up with them. I think it just awful how to treat people who pay more than everyone else for a membership. I mean I was paying DOUBLE and this is how they treat people. Not only has this turned me off planet fitness, but it turned me off gyms in general :( P.S. And you know what's crazy, I planned on COMING BACK to this planet fitness because I don't particularity care for Hyde park like that. But AFTER I moved back into the area. Now I'm just done. That is a ridiculous fee to pay and no one told me. IT should be company policy to tell every new member of that fee. They don't even give you an option to suspend the membership. It just upsets me because I really wanted to stay. Now, not so much :( read more

VERY clean. Very cost friendly. I only wish there was a larger stretching area. Everyone in this gym is always nice and the patrons are pleasant. Definitely a much needed gym in the area/community. 24/5 operating schedule. read more

this gym has come a long way since they've gotten a new manager. All in all im glad its improving!

Some of the staff is very rude for example the staff member Sydney is very rude, very unprofessional, very nasty with an unpleasant attitude. This person will repeatedly try to argue with customers, which is very terrible for business. Who ever trained this individual needs to be fire, because there customer service skills are terrible. Not to bring up race because I am an African American male, but it is very sad that these African american managed businesses such as the Chatham Planet Fitness and Chatham Walmart has terrible customer service and very rude staff. I will be reaching out to the Planet Fitness corporate office concerning my complaint. read more

I do not like when your told that the black t-shirts are coming in and just come up and ask for it. I was promised a black t-shirt with my black card membership. They never have a shirt for me when I ask for it. I want all the amenities of my black t-shirt membership including a shirt. read more
