Also, The hours suck for people who want to work out on sundays or at night the rest of the week. I got a membership at planet fitness just for the availability. The one thing I liked about this gym was the sauna. It's the only sauna in town as far as I know. Usually it's pretty dark in there but today I dropped my water bottle and turned on my flashlight to grab it and became very DISTURBED! Nicotine packets on the wall. Black mystery substance on the floor on top of old laminate tiles that they just placed the sauna wood on top of. I'm honestly scared to come back to the sauna and that's a bummer.

The free pizza/bagels or whatever it is isn't really any different than getting that stuff at work and newsflash: NO ONE IS MAKING YOU EAT IT. Geez, some people just like to whine to feel better about themselves. Now on to the actual review. I like this PF in Mishawaka because it's 24 hours. I was a grad student when I joined and having a gym with 24 hr access was important to me. The nice thing about this one is that it's always clean, never gets too crowded (peak hours are after-work rush) and the staff is generally friendly-although there seems to be a high turnover as of late, a lot of new faces recently. I've gone to workout at a variety of hours, from 6am, to 2pm, to after 8pm. I'd say the 6-7:30ish window on weekdays is probably the most crowded. On the weekends the place is pretty much deserted. What's nice though is that no matter what time you go, you can always see employees cleaning up. (Although I will say as of late that this seems to have dropped off a bit during evening hours. Not sure if this is a policy change or due to an understaffing issue). Recent problems I've noticed include: paper towel dispensers at the designated locations only have one full at a time (on repeated visits this has held true), I'm assuming this is due to efforts to minimize waste (and the bottom line), but during peak hours this is kind of annoying. I also noticed at some point earlier this year they removed the scale from the women's locker room, which I think is just silly. It was in there for years previously and there was really no reason to remove it. If people don't want to use it, they don't have to. We're all adults and responsible for our own decisions. I also will say be careful in the parking lot, some people drive through there like they don't have a brain. td,dr; Clean gym, cheap fees, open 24 hours, plenty of parking out front.

The facility is amazing with so much to offer, including daycare! They even allow you early access to the facility an hour before business is open, and late access until midnight, even though the main part of the facility closes at 9pm. With a member key card you can continue to work out on the machines, track, and free weights until Midnight. They have a plethora of classes going all the time including spin class, Pilates, and my absolute favorite workout... Cardio Drumming!!! Mostly I have been using the Pool and have made some great friends with regulars. If I do nothing else, I at least do the pool. There is a 4 lane lap pool, a therapy pool, and a large hot tub. They even have water aerobics classes. There is literally something her for everyone! The atmosphere is chill and inviting with a sense of acceptance for everyone. I have seen people using walkers, canes, and wheelchairs to navigate the facility, and the services provided, and... that includes the pool area. They are very equipped for disabilities and special needs of all types. The cost of Membership is right on point for what they offer. Did I mention there's a complementary coffee and tea bar, dining area, and they even have nutritious meals you can opt to purchase. No cash on hand - no problems you can add it to your tab.

So, here I am, almost six weeks here at Orangetheory Granger and many of my misconceptions have…read morebeen shattered. The fallacies I had were as follows: 1. Orangetheory is for elitists, the fit of the fit. Listen, I often refer to my body as an "elevator" body. I wouldn't walk up or down a flight of stairs if the building were on fire. I would rather stand anxiously at the elevator door for a good seven minutes to go up one flight. Don't judge me! So, what I expected to see was a bunch of extremely fit people, in their Lululemon coordinated outfits, who would look at me in disgust as I try to join their club. I was certain I would feel like I was in high school again with the popular clique looking at me with distain in their eyes. With a slow, deep breath, and a long exhale, I entered. I was greeted by Katie, trainer extraordinaire. She walked me through the program and what to expect and now it was time for the rest of the class to join and they were amazing. There were people of all shapes and sizes. I soon found the only person judging me was me. I learned very quickly that with the heartrate monitor you are only competing with yourself. No one gave the perception that I didn't belong there, in fact, it was quite the opposite. 2. Orangetheory is expensive. Well, frankly, it is compared to other "gyms" it is, however, this is no gym folks. I have had a Planet Fitness membership for three years and they haven't seen me in two so I suppose the most expensive membership is the one you don't use, kinda like the treadmill that now serves as decoration in my basement. I have only been going for six weeks but for these six weeks I have gone five days a week. At five days a week I am paying approximately $9/class, not so expensive when you break it down, right? It is also important to understand the value the trainers bring. They correct your form and push you, it feels like you have a personal trainer and I am certain personal training is far more than $9/hour. They want you to succeed and attain your goals, these trainers really care and relish in your success. 3. Orangetheory is a gimmick. I mean, seriously, heartrate monitors. Come on, just one more way to charge me for something. And yet here I am, six weeks later, and all my measurements have changed and, happily, for the better. It is harder for me to get in the orange and my resting heartrate is lower so maybe there is something to this science. I am not looking to be a fitness model, rather, I just want to feel good in my skin and Orangetheory Granger is helping. I still have cellulite on my thighs and batwings but for the first time in years I will wear a tank top and shorts. The confidence I have gained is unprecedented and I cannot wait to see what another six weeks brings. On a side note, my seventeen-year-old daughter joined shortly after I did. She plays high school lacrosse and is fit yet she is sore after every workout. My husband is now a member as well and he really enjoys it. I would like my son to come but as with many fifteen-year-old boys, I have lost him to Fortnite.

At first I loved coming here two years ago before it became really popular in the area. But the…read moreproblem now with this location is that there's so many people. I feel like I have to book classes a week in advance and then cancel last minute because something comes up. The class times really are not conducive to people who work 8-5's--which is so frustrating. Each time I go the class is completely full. It's obnoxious working out w someone less than a foot away from you. When you're rotating from weights to the rowers and back you're never really sure if you're sitting in a puddle of sanitizer (which I imagine isn't great for you) or a puddle of someone else's butt sweat (which I imagine is even worse for you). There's so many people that there's not enough time for the sanitizer to dry between rotations. I watch my heart rate go up on the rower not cause my workout is so great but because I'm uncomfortable about the fact I'm sitting on sanitizer. I talk with friends who live in different cities where class sizes aren't completely full. And they have a completely different experience. If their station is 5 on the treadmill, it's also 5 for the weights and rower and they're the only one using that station the entire duration of the class. If you don't get to the class super early, the treadmills are all taken. And I find I get the best workout when I start with the treadmill. It makes me so sad that I had to cancel my membership. I used to feel so refreshed and energized after workouts. (I question if I ever even really worked out before an orange theory class) but recently I've just been overwhelmingly annoyed. Adding fuel to my fire, I purchased a heart rate monitor and it's never once worked properly. I kept holding on to my membership to try and recover my $100 or whatever I spent but it's just really not worth it.

It's such an obvious ploy to prevent customers who want to cancel from cancelling. They claimed they do this to prevent "he-said/she-saids" but who commits fraud to cancel a membership? I understand the argument someone may commit fraud to open a membership, but the argument they'd do it to cancel makes no sense IMO. Fortunately, the employee I spoke with was helpful and sent over a PDF I could edit. Still massive overkill to not let you cancel online with your account info (i.e. your account username and password).
