I stumbled across this gym by happenstance. I own a gym in NYC but sometimes I just want to workout…read morewhen I'm at my house in NJ. The check in process is easy and efficient. They offer a good variety of protein drinks and sugary snacks to power through serious workouts. It is a "powerlifting" gym, but honestly anyone could get a great workout with the types of equipment they have, which is a great variety of dumbbells, bars, row, lat pull downs, seated row, hammer strength, chest flys, kettlebells, cables, bags, ropes and a sled. (I might be forgetting some stuff). If you ever get frustrated because you can't squat or bench due to crowds, THEN THIS IS THE GYM FOR YOU. They have like a million bench press stations, deadlift and squats. Which is honestly the best part. The atmosphere is really kind and yet serious. The culture seems to attract strength goal lifters and not tic toc queens, high school phone scrollers, attention seekers etc. Everyone is also very helpful and I don't get any judgment vibes. The mix is also 40/60 women/men. Yes I'm observant. My goals change from size, to strength to cut to performance based on the time of year and this gym works for all of them. Kudos to the owners for putting together a great place.

I have been eyeing this gym on Instagram for quite some time but I haven't gone until today out of fear of not fitting in. First of all, I was welcomed and a lot of the members introduced themselves which I thought was really dope. I'm really spanking brand new to lifting and so the owner, Michael gave me a ton of pointers that helped me PR. ALSO, with every lift you have an army of folks cheering you on which is always an added plus. I haven't joined quite yet but if you're considering doing so definitely go for it! You won't regret it.

I like the new gym!…read more So I came here because my gym in Clark closed unfortunately and I decided to see what the new gym in Springfield was looking like. The setup is pretty much the same type of set up as every other gym- the only difference is that the main floor is upstairs while the studio floor and swimming pool is located on the lower floor when you walk in along with the locker rooms. When I got upstairs, there was all types of equipment some new- others the same. The gym itself wasn't a lot of people since I came somewhat late. However, the basketball court was pretty live. The cardio machines are facing the windows so it's a pretty nice touch to look out the windows during the day while you are getting your workout on. There is plenty of parking outside- which is great because this gym seem like it could get pretty packed. The only "issue" is that this gym is located on Route 22 which could be a gift and a curse depending on the time of day you go and traffic. Overall, beautiful gym, friendly staff- I would come back!

I had a horrible experience with this LA fitness location. I'll admit at first they were great,…read morethey had flexible plans for a reasonable price which I appreciated. However this gym is not great for any one who actually lifts. The equipment is bad and due to my height some of it didn't even work for me, which is expected for a few machines, but not to the extent of this gym. There is no place to do exercises with a barbell besides bench and squat. There is only ONE squat rack in this gym that is adjustable, the other two, you cannot adjust the safeties which wouldn't work for the exercises I wanted to do. No deadlift platforms or bumper plates. Dumbbells are a mess even on the weekends when it's not crowded. For the cable machines they are little attachments available to choose. For these reasons, I chose to cancel my membership as I realized it be unsustainable for me to complete my workouts here. Trying to cancel this membership within the guidelines of my contract was a nightmare. I was well within my rights to cancel my membership within 3 days of registering. However when I tried to cancel my membership in person they said I can't do that unless I come back when the operations manager is there from 9 to 5, Monday through Friday. For me and most people this does not work as we work those same hours. Additionally, in the contract it says nothing about contacting an operations manager. It explicitly states you can go to the gym you signed up for and cancel your membership. I had to ask for the operations manager phone number, which was just the phone number for the gym. I called the next morning during business hours and was told the operations manager was in the middle of something and when I said I was going to refer to the contract that says I can also cancel by calling, the person at the desk hung up on me. I called back and let them know that I would like the operations manager to call me when she was available and was told that they would tell her but she usually doesn't call customers. Luckily, I called back an hour later and a different person answered and I was able to speak to the operations manager and she canceled my membership in less than two minutes. I would not have been as upset if the people at the front desk did not LIE to me and would actually abide by the contract signed! A business cannot expect their customers to abide by a contract when they will not. Other reviews echo the same experience. I can not recommend this business to anyone and would suggest to go anywhere else for this reason.

Trainer comes up with attitude that I'm using the space despite walking away for 30+ minutes. Came really disrespectful specifically to me despite others also using the space. Came up mid set of mine and only placed a ball down and told me I can't be using the area. What irks me is that there were two people also there using the cable machine. And I've seen other people using it. There was a 30-1hr gap between his clients in which no other trainer was using the area. I was already using it for a while completing 4 sets prior too. I don't mind moving if you have a client but just gotta lmk since I don't see any schedules posted. Otherwise a good gym with good equipment

It seems as though this Planet Fitness hasn't had their equipment exchanged in quite so many years, very outdated and very broken and it's a shame because it's really a nice gym.
