This Planet Fitness location in Vernon Hills is definitely the best Planet that I have visited…read more Everything here is so new, remodeled and looks great. All of the machines are modern - for both strength training and cardio. They also have a really nice relaxation area for Black Card members that has hydro massage chairs and a very nice wellness pod (I can't find other locations that have this). Employees are very friendly and helpful - if you're looking for a basic gym that's new and has a few extra amenities for their premium members, I'd recommend Planet in Vernon Hills.

I know most gyms claim they're a judgment free zone, but we all know that's not always true. Being…read morenew at a fitness facility can be EXTREMELY intimidating, but the staff AND clients here are all so warm and nonjudgmental. I've loved every class I've taken, and I know I'm getting a good workout as I leave sweaty and breathless and I'm sore the next day. They have classes for every BODY. It doesn't matter your fitness level, you'll fit right in here! I've yet to use their other amenities at this facility, but I'm looking forward to using their upgraded gym and sauna area in the near future once my schedule permits. You seriously cannot beat the cost at under $60/month membership and $10 drop in babysitting, or $30/month babysitting for during your workouts (see schedule, as they're only able to offer babysitting during certain times).

It is a commercial/franchise gym, so don't expect a family-oriented and personalized attention…read more It's pretty busy, and everybody minds his/her own business. PROS: * The biggest PRO so far was that THEY LISTEN: the moment I asked/suggested their manager, Alex, something about their sauna, they instantly took care of it, and he is always very friendly and always listens, and the rest of staff is always courteous and friendly. ATTENTION AND CARE IS A HUGE PLUS! * Very affordable. Many gyms are 2x, 3x, or more expensive but offer same or less and worse. * Spacious/roomy, and good equipment and free weights variety, esp. for the price. EQUIPMENT VARIETY IS A BIG PLUS. * Constant cleaning (a man and/or a lady is always vacuuming, mopping, and wiping floors and other surfaces). * Pool, sauna, and jacuzzi/whirlpool. * Drinking water/fountain is always cold, which is good. * Variety of classes, large aerobics, spinning, etc. rooms. CONS: * Many members are on their cell phones while using exercise equipment/machines, and many don't get off machines (while on the phones), but you can always find your way around that. * No paper towels. They would come handy, but it's no big deal, and I can deal with that and bring my own, esp. for their low membership price. * Only 3 pool lanes,.. but, again, it is what it is, and many gyms have no pool at all for higher price. So, again, overall, I am pretty happy.

I honestly did not experience any of the negative things mentioned in some of the reviews and was actually surprised by them because I thought this place was fantastic.

Joined this boot camp class two weeks ago and it's the best boot camp class I've been to so far. I…read moreattended boot camp classes in Park Ridge for a couple months prior (plus one in Vernon Hills), but this class still kicked my ass. I nearly died of exhaustion my first day and had to take a break because I was close to throwing up. I have slightly gotten better with the next few classes, but it's still very challenging. I always leave super sweaty and disgusting, just how it should be! I mainly attend the 6am class, and everyone there is friendly and supportive. I will say that I am probably the youngest one there and also the slowest one there... which actually is very motivating for me. I've only attended one night class, and the crowd there was very friendly as well. I like that the instructor, Larry, actually pays attention to the attendees and corrects form or tries to push you if need be. I've had instructors in the past that just casually run the class, regardless of how small the class size is. Some important notes to mention is that the class takes place at Libertyville Sports Complex, and you have access to the showers and locker room (bring your own towel and lock). This is big for those who do not live nearby, as I do not. I will also say that the locker room and showers are always very clean, which is a big plus for me. All in all, highly recommended!

I have been going to VIP for years because Meko has created a 30 minute intense exercise program…read morecustomized for me that has seriously turned me from a couch potato into someone who exercises 5x a week. I've lost weight and gained definition. I'm always working and I can't commit to working out for an hour, but I have no excuse when it's only 30 minutes. Meko and his positive encouragement makes the sweat and hard work worth it. He definitely pushes me harder than I want sometimes (he's kind but tough), but I know it's because he wants me to achieve my health and fitness (and weight loss) goals. He's a gem and I'm lucky to have been referred to him from a friend who also works out with him. The facility is private and there is a bathroom and a place to shower if you have to go to work right after the workout.

When we started this adventure 70 pounds ago, neither of us wanted a gym full of perfectly fit folks watching us workout.

Give it a spin! It's well worth the investment.

This gym had been a nightmare. They are month-month and supposed to allow you to cancel at any time…read morewith no charge with a 30 day notice (according to my contract) and they not only have been incompetent at canceling my membership the day I made the in-person WRITTEN request that I was moving and no longer wanting to be a member, but they have continued to be charging me 2 months past my official cancelation form was verified which is fraud and they refuse to refund me. I keep getting told to talk to the general manager who is never there or available. I will he reporting this gym to BBB and to corporate. To add, the staff are never even at the front desk. They're always working out or in some back room. The gym isn't professionally run. They should have filled out my cancelation for them very day I requested to cancel and they gave me a run around by not giving me the cancelation form till the next month when I got charged and they claimed I "never canceled" even though I was told I was all set in person. The staff doesn't know what their own procedures for canceling apparently. So I filled out that cancelation form and I am STILL 2 months later being charged by charter fitness. Fraud.
