The staff doesn't seem to understand what a day pass means! Paid 10 bucks to workout out but it was busier than I thought it be. Thinking I could come back to work out again later I left. When I finally decided to go back they told me my clear as "day" written "day pass" was nothing more than 1 entrance fee. Total waste of time and money. People working there were also very condescending and rude after I explained my situation. NEVER AGAIN! read more

Planet Workout - Trainers Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Came here to partake in a Zumba class. I called to find out information as I have a women's group on Meetup so I needed to make sure I knew exactly how to pay for the class. I was told on the phone by one of the employees that you need to pay through their website as the woman who runs the class rents out the room so I need to pay her directly which is through the website. So I logged onto their website and paid for the class which was $16.95 including tax. Let me tell you, I am so glad a few of the girls couldn't make it that night because Planet workout would have had a big problem to deal with. I will get to why it became an issue later on in my review. So I show up and I'm standing in front of the desk waiting for someone to acknowledge me. Their are two employees behind the counter, one checking his phone and the other chatting to a trainer. The trainer noticed me and asked me if he could help me with something, so I told him I'm here for the Zumba class. He told me I can just walk through to the class. So I proceeded to the class. As I walked through I observed that the place was really outdated and looked like a dump. The washrooms were gross with outdated toilets from maybe the 90s and the sofa in there needs a good cleaning as it had stains all over it. So I then proceeded to the class. The instructor is very nice and man can she move! She interacted very nicely with us which was fun. It's really sad that I had to give this place one star because I really enjoyed the Zumba class and would have come back weekly but because of the way I was treated by the other employees, I won't return. So come the end of the class, the instructor asks me for the money for the class. I looked at her surprisingly and said I paid online? I showed her my receipt and she told me that you don't pay online you per her in person????? Are you kidding me???? Btw the class is $12 so I was overcharged by $4. She told me to go to the front and sort it out. So I walked back to the front. One of the employees (male with blond hair) saw me walk to stand in line. He turned his back to me and ignored me for a good three minutes. When he eventually turned around he greeted me with "what's up"?????, I asked him, is that what you normally do when a customer is in line? You turn around and ignore them? He responded with I thought you were on your way out.... ooooookkkkaay???? Really bizarre.. I told him about the situation and he offered no help. He told me never do you pay for a class online. You pay her directly. I asked him why would one of the employees forward that information, he couldn't answer. I showed him my receipt and he didn't even offer to refund the difference. I really don't have time for hassles, but like I said earlier, their really lucky I didn't have 6 women with me because it would have been a big problem. I will never return to this dump which is sad because the Zumba class is awesome. NOTE TO MANAGER: Your employees are very rude and unprofessional. You will continue to lose business, I suggest more training and a lesson in manners. read more

I have been going to this gym for about 2 years now and paying 33$/month for 24/7 access to this gym. Over the years I have seen the gym extremely busy at times, and extremely empty at times. Since it isn't the largest gym around, it can sometimes get fairly packed in there and you have to wait to use equipment. One thing I was surprised to see was that there were only 2 squat racks - one in the main area and one in the personal trainer area. I know that they got more equipment a few months ago, but imo they need a couple more squat racks. They recently renovated the men's changeroom. Repainted the lockers, did the bathroom up, and redid the steam room (which I have still yet to try after the renovation!). My biggest issue with this gym is the parking - which is fairly limited. If you go at rush hour or when there are other classes going on, you will most likely not find a parking spot and are forced to park elsewhere. This can be a pain sometimes especially in winter. Overall, this gym provides good value for the price. It's a monthly membership, there's a steam room, 2 basketball courts, a spinning room, boxing equipment, free wifi (which is flaky sometimes) and a good amount of equipment. I will continue to go here as long as I live in the Mississauga area. read more

I really wish there was anything close to equivalent to Planet Workout in Toronto (24/7 gym, fair membership price clearly advertised with a no contract option, big equipment selection, classes included)... alas, no longer work in the area and cannot take advantage of Planet Workout anymore. The gym is located in a small plaza, with most of the equipment in the huge main room with rows of cardio equipment facing a row of TVs and comprehensive offering of weight machines and free weights. I have seen quite a few bodybuilders and female fitness models work out here, so variety and size of weights, both machine and free, are good (but there is definitively no douchebaggy attitudes around like at most Extreme Fitness locations). Equipment is not the latest (no treadmills with individual TVs with cable here) but not too old either - but there is a large selection and there is practically no waiting even during 'busy' times. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful, but trainers are never in your face or 'working the floor' trying to get patrons to sign up for personal training sessions. Music playing is not loud/intrusive (usually it's 102.1 The Edge on the main floor). However, in the separate smaller room for ladies only, they have a set up where patrons can pick the radio station or play their own CD - every time I've gone in, it was the usual Top 40 crap being blasted so I generally avoided working out here if at all possible (though for some of the machines, smaller increments are only available in ladies only room). Did I mention classes are included? Well, yoga, spinning, cardio kickbox and bootcamp are, and Zumba and muay thai kickboxing are extra. You can use the boxing room on your own though at any time, and there are even some boxing gloves around (but do you really want to absorb other people's sweat?). Bootcamp with Ian is intense, and you get personal attention as, even though everyone in the class does the same exercises, each person does the exercises at their own pace. Ian will show each person (or whole class if you are there on time) several exercises that are done on a mini-circuit basis (one set of each for a prescribed number of times), and then show you the new set of exercises when you are done your previous mini-circuit. If you are doing something wrong, your form will be corrected, and Ian will also push you if he notices you are starting to slack off on your exercises. Completely amazing whole-body workout - yes, you will be completely sore, but also feel great and (oddly enough) super-energized! Bootcamp incorporates primarily free weights and body resistance exercises with a bit of pure cardio sprinkled in... but even when you are doing resistance exercises, due to the quick pace you will also be getting a cardio workout at the same time as your heart rate is kept up throughout. Ladies, don't be afraid of weights - you cannot get toned without them and they will not make you 'bulk up' (despite some popular myths around... women simply don't have enough testosterone for this to happen). Gentlemen, this is certainly not your mom's aerobics class - if you push yourself and grab heavier dumbells, you can build muscle AND get a cardio workout at the same time (you know you hate the treadmill!). Yoga with Devon is a great way to improve flexibility and get some deep stretches into your routine. Since it's at a gym, expect basic/intermediate level. She is a great instructor and provides instructions throughout for beginners and modifications for those with injuries. Yoga studio itself is nice and very clean - only downside to relaxation is when there is a Zumba class next door in the basketball court and you can hear the music. Planet Workout also offers free childcare during certain hours. Overall, highly recommended. read more

Went here for some ball runs and cardio and turned out pretty good. However rush hour can get really busy. Be prepared to wait.

Best bang for buck gym in Mississauga. Sure equipment are old but still fully functional. Sure it's small and cramped but they have lots of machines and hardly ever busy(when I go at least). They got a basketball court, room for boxing and such, spin room and a circuit type room which I love. The price must have something to do with LA fitness just about to open but the competition is great for us consumers. read more

DON'T COME HERE . NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY Owner is rude and disrepectful, nor does he ever listen or try to resolve issues with the consumer. All he wants to do is make more money and charge you extra on top of your membership for some made-up regulation. the gym is run down, some of the equipment are broken and remains to be broken. The place is grimy, dark, and a place you do not want to be at all. read more
