Significantly nicer than the location just slightly further south on 27th street in Franklin. The Franklin location is dark and dungeon-like, whereas this location is open and well lit. The locker room is clean, stocked with soap and paper towels (a problem at the Franklin location), and has hot water. Nice value for the price, good range of equipment. read more

Planet Fitness - Clean locker room - Gyms Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Whoever was working tonight was the kindest guy ever. He was very informative and able to help me. Had a great attitude as well.

Yet another gym that lies to get you to sign up. I asked for a free trial while I was in the area for a week so I could sign up at the location by my home & was told they do not do trials but I can transfer my membership anytime. No, you can not transfer anytime. Be aware before signing up, this is not the type of place to ask questions about the membership, they won't be answered honestly. I'm not a fan of this business model. read more

Clean, clean, and clean! Huge appreciation for how clean they keep this place. The locker rooms have everything that I need. There is most of the workout equipment that I want, and then some! The employees are helpful, if you need them. They are willing to show you anything that you are not familiar with. Only complaint is the lack of workout programs. It seems there are a variety of programs, bit they are offered at the same time everyday. A little variation would probably make it available for others. I've found some grumpy patrons make this place a little gloomy at times, but that can't be credited to PF by any means. I like this place and you can't beat the value for the cost of the membership. read more

Planet Fitness is in general a good deal, and the locations are conveniently spread out over the region. This location has a couple of drawbacks. FIrst, oddly, some of their clientele actually look like the Planet Fitness commercials of the sorts of meat market gyms that Planet Fitness wants to be different from. I have looked at that sentence quite a few times and I know it's not grammatically correct but I just can't fix it. Every time I've been here there are muscle bound steroid bullies checking themselves out so hard that they don't notice the sexy workout model wannabees in lots of makeup not working out but bending over a lot, I feel like I'm intruding in a dance club. The staff here is less enthusiastic and friendly than the other locations, and the locker room isn't as clean. Parking is problematic much of the time, however I do realize the hypocrisy of complaining about walking a long way to work out. I'd say the biggest problem is air circulation. This gym smells like...a gym. read more

Planet Fitness - I guess I shouldn't complain about a long walk to workout but at 6pm there's no parking nearby. - Gyms Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This gym is closer to my house than Gold's but it's in the hood so don't expect a quality crowd. I drove my G wagon there and found crumpled up paper towels on it when I finished my workout. The equipment looks new when you tour but then you realize most of the machines have missing grips and the ropes are gonna snap at any second. There is not a single bar bell or dumbbell over 75lbs. Most of the staff look like they haven't ever touched the equipment aside from wiping butt sweat off of it. No one in there has a clue or really cares about what they do, so expect to go in, scan your card, and know what you are doing so you can get out as quickly as possible. The bathrooms are usually pretty clean, but the benches aren't so your shorts will smell like a$$ after every workout requiring a lot more laundry to be done. My advice; look elsewhere because a further drive is worth it. read more

I have no complaints about this place. For ten bucks a month I get to work out any time of day every day of the year. Yes please. I tend to try to go during less busy times but even when that can't be avoided I never have to wait to use the equipment I was hoping to. This is definitely an "entry level" gym for newbie workout people. That is the whole pitch of Planet Fitness. If that isn't what you want than PF is not for you. They keep their costs low by eliminating a lot of the typical gym perks like child care, swimming pools, saunas, hot tubs, etc. However, if you pay a slightly higher monthly fee you have access to tanning beds and massages or something like that (not entirely sure what the pricier membership includes). There are showers and blow dryers and things but you have to bring your own lock with you if you want to use a locker. Staff has been friendly but not always exceptionally helpful. I have a session scheduled with a personal trainer (included for free with the monthly membership) so I'll update after that to let you know how it goes. I think my favorite thing is that this place is not filled with a bunch of hard core fitness people. it is NOT intimidating at ALL. There is no judgement. In fact, I can definitely stand to lose a few pounds and sometimes working out here simply encourages me because most of the people working out have a lot further to go than I do. (That's probably a terrible thing to say but it's true so I'm just gonna leave it there.) It's actually encouraging to see so many people trying to live a healthier life. So there you have it. Cheap and gets the job done. read more

Very clean!!! The locker room always looks like it's been cleaned recently and everyone is super friendly that works here. Definitely my favorite planet fitness in Milwaukee read more

Overall, I started seeing the customer service of the staff decline. I sometimes feel the staff can be quite unprofessional in person. Over the phone, they are even worse. When I called on the phone multiple times, the staff ignores phone calls...I had to talk to them about a discrepancy about billing but they would just put me on hold for 30 min, multiple times. One time, I called with my friend who called after. My friend inquired about new membership...And they proceed to keep me on hold, while they spoke to my friend! I guess the only way to access the staff is say I'm interested in new membership. From what I hear, Blast fitness has more options for weights. But this doesn't say much since Blast in West Allis is known to be one of the worst gyms in the area. You pay the same amount ($10/mo) BUT you actually have access to free barbell weights (not only machines or smith machines), a squat rack, and weight benches. Ending my membership was inevitable read more

This is a difficult review to write! I was a member at Planet Fitness for about a year and a half. I was lured in by their low monthly fee and their obviously convenient hours. However, in the long run I came to realize this gym really wasn't working for me. Things I liked: Tons of treadmills--never had to wait for a machine here! Ample parking available. Clean locker rooms. Price Things I didn't like: Staff is unprofessional. Often eating lunch/dinner right at the front desk. The personal trainer was often visible on the floor but I tended to notice he only approached female clients. I noticed here on numerous occasions that homeless people seem to congregate here. There were a few times I noticed people asleep in the massage chairs. Staff seemed to be aware as they would walk right past them, but would never intervene. I had the black card membership because I like to tan occasionally. Unfortunately I felt the equipment wasn't really maintained. The controls were difficult to use/didn't work, and the standard tanning bed pillows were absent. Not really worth the extra monthly cost. In the end, I decided to join a smaller and more expensive gym that could offer more of a personal experience. I think PF is a great option for some people....just not me :) read more

I love Planet Fitness. This location in particular is the best in the metro-Milwaukee area. The employees are nice and everything is kept squeaky clean. It's never too crowded and people are always friendly if you do share a machine. I need a lot of motivation to get to the gym so I'm happy to know this PF can be one. read more

I have the "Black Card" for $20 a month. It includes: Reciprocal use of all Planet Fitness® Franchise Locations Unlimited guest privileges at any Planet Fitness location Unlimited Hydromassage Use of Tanning Unlimited Total Body Enhancement Unlimited Use of Massage Chairs 1/2 Price Cooler Drinks (Restrictions may apply) PF Black Card T-Shirt PF Black Card Key Tag Unlimited Fitness Training The Hydromassage, Total Body Enhancement, and massage chairs are awesome! (I don't use the tanning because I don't want cancer or to look 50 when I'm 26.) The staff are courteous. The gym is not crowded. There are plenty of machines. It's very stress free and easy going. read more

I'm not sure who's running this place but it has continually been declining. The ladies bathroom area is filthy more often than not. One door stall latch has been broke for months. Clearly it's more important for staff to congregate at the front desk than clean. The club smells like awful body odor, I get people are sweating, however it's not a normal gym scent. Funky. The Wi-Fi is hit or miss, most of the time the connection is bad. Half the equipment tv's do not work. And finally they are constantly out of paper towels. This decline has been fairly recent so I do question if there has been a change in management? Very disappointing. read more

It has been awhile since I have been here until recent and I have to say it is much better than then years ago. No matter what hour I go in someone is cleaning something at all times. Cleaning equipment, ceiling fans, floor and even under equipment. As with any gyms it does depend on the hour you go. It can be full with people on most of the equipment and sometimes empty. They have squat bars, pull a bench up and you can bench press, multitude of olympic weights. You can load the bar up and bench or squat almost any weight you wish. Not I, but you can. They have a good assortment of curl bars and a ton of dumbbells. I can't remember totally but in think I saw the dumbbell weight up to 75lbs or so. Someone wrote a review and said there is limited weights but there is not. Also they said no bench press or squat bar but there is. The 360 area is pretty slick with all kinds of workouts you can do for HIIT or Crossfit. Every gym is different but for $10 or $20 a month it is a great gym with many options. read more

It's always crowded and most members don't wipe down the equipment after use. Also the weights aren't properly put back in the weight rack

I had a membership for four months but cancelled due to my moving. I told their employee when I joined that I planned on leaving in a few months and she signed me up in a way so that it would be cheapest for me. Canceling was also extremely easy and hassle free. As for the gym itself, absolutely great! So many cardio machines and treadmills, and the bathrooms are always surprisingly clean. I'd go in the afternoon and there was always a worker cleaning somewhere. Staff was extremely friendly. Great experience with this gym, and got more than my money's worth. read more

At PF Southgate the fitness equipment etc is usually well maintained but other equipment such as massage chairs usually aren't and you'll end up waiting for months to see it fixed and usable again... I always feel like I need to go to the downtown location to get stuff that works and that management cares to fix things promptly, which is annoying cos I live around the corner from Southgate and DT is 20minutes away. Because if this I don't feel like I get value for money at Southgate. read more

Planet fitness in southgate is always super clean. The employees always friendly and ready to help. Plus they have a trainer, Danny, who is fantastic. Danny takes his time he gets involved 100% in your training and will work with you no matter what level you are on. read more

I joined Planet Fitness at the end of January, knowing it was going to be a busy time since it's after the holidays and New years so everyone is trying to hit their goals. I have been continuing to come here regularly and it doesnt matter if it's 5am or 5pm, 9am or 9pm it is always PACKED! I didnt mind at first because I love to see everyone bettering themselves but now its to the point where I cant find a spot to even lay down a mat. Im always elbow to elbow with someone so I dont even bother. I move to a machine, I have to wait for one to open up-which again is fine but the second I turn my back the machine is in use by someone else. It's frustrating when you're trying to get a good workout in and you cant because there are SO many people. I think another location needs to open up somewhere so there isnt so much overload. I do have the Black MemberShip so I drive about 25 minutes to a location that is less crowed instead of this one that is 10 minutes from my house. read more

I've been a member of Planet Fitness since it opened. It has always been clean and the staff is very friendly. I currently started with the personal trainer Renaldo, (aka Sean) where he challenges me to push myself to achieve my wieght loss goals. I started with him the first week of January. This is my fourth week with him and I went from doing 5 pullups the first week to doing 9 this week. I feel im getting stronger with his help and motivation. Renaldo is a great personal trainer, he will help you reach your fitness goals and acomplishments. I have lost 6lbs so far in my weight loss journey and plan to continue on with a biggest loser competition. I cant wait. Check out Planet Fitness.. You won't be discouraged. For only 10.00 a month and you get so much. read more

I joined Planet Fitness in November 2011. After not working out for many years, a heart scare got me motivated. I chose the "Southgate" site because it is closer to my house then the Franklin one. I get off work at 1:30 in the afternoon and I use to go to work out then. It is alittle crowded and noisier at that time. The parking lot at this time is TERRIBLE!!!!!! People drive 30 miles an hour in the lot!! It is CRAZY!!!!!! Plus there was a young Mexican girl who has a bad atitude that works second shift and who needs that???? Anyway I started going early in the morning before I start work and I do mean early, It is WONDERFUL then!!!! There are only a few people there and the third shift staff are AWESOME!!!! Juan is a cute, hard working young man and Jess is a lovely, friendly young lady.There is another young lady who works third but I do not know her name yet. Even the third shift cleaning guy is a sweetie!!! Plus the parking lot is empty at this time so I don't have to worry about some non insurance type person hitting my car in their haste to get to Payless!!!! I have been to the Franklin one and it is nice but alot smaller. My friend goes there and he said that they were having a problem with someone breaking in the lockers!!! Geez, that is so ghetto. Anyway I recommend PF at Southgate especially if you go late at night!!!! read more
