The club has updated machines, Is large and therefore you have access to the machines and free weights you need. It is clean and bright inside.

I wish I could shoutout specific employees, but I do not know them by name. Instead, I know them as the smiling faces that welcome me and my dad to the gym everyday! We have gone to several locations Forest Park, Schaumburg, and Hickey Hills to name a few, but the Melrose Park location has them beat! All the employees are super friendly! Each facility is very clean! However, there is not a day when I don't see an employee cleaning at the Melrose Park location! The MP location is definitely our favorite! (Not to mention that prior to joining Planet Fitness, I was a member of XPort, also in MP, and there was no sense of comradery.)

Great facilities. Everyone in the family can find something they enjoy doing here. I prefer group fitness classes while my family prefers the pool and free weights. Staff is professional and polite.

My son and I are regular there and always have a good experience. There is plenty of variety of machines and they are always in good working order. Also, the staff is very friendly and do a great job of keeping it clean. So I feel safe there working out.

It's always crowded at the Melrose Park Planet Fitness. I don't think they have enough machines for the crowd they get. It's hard to get on the Smith machine. There's always a long wait. The gym etiquette is bad here. People use their phones while they operate a machine. Or they pause a long time between sets. Usually I walk out and never get a chance to use the Smith machine.

This review is from a guy that’s been coming here for 9 months now, so I know what I’m taking about.If you are wanting to use the treadmills then they have plenty, but if you are trying to bodybuild good luck, the only times they aren’t crowded is in the early morning (before 11am) or late night (after 10pm) try to work out there at any other timeframe and it’ll be overcrowded. The bench press/deadlift machine is never free and the workout beds are also never free. Meaning this is a wait to workout gym. (Perhaps since this is my first gym my expectations aren’t in line but I assume that waiting for extended timeframes isn’t the norm.) This location has too few machines and too many people fighting for them. Not only that the people will constantly be dumbbell hogs with one person taking 3-4 sets of dumbbells for themselves or hiding them somewhere. The bathrooms are well maintained though, and I doubt there are any thieves you need to worry about. The crowd is mostly Hispanic with a few black and white people, but most of them are kind, the staff aren’t knowledgeable but are nice and do a decent enough job keeping the place tidy. Weekend crowds are SLIGHTLY lighter but still heavy. When I say the gym is overcrowded I’m not referring to the place being packed like crazy (unless it’s at 6-7pm which is peak hours) rather I’m talking about all the body building machines and any equipment needed to build muscle is ALWAYS taken and you’ll have to wait to do anything from 5-25mins, if you have a series of 5-10 different workouts to do you’ll be there about an hour longer than if it wasn’t crowded. This gym is for people who are patient, like to workout mornings or late nights, or who only do cardio. For anyone else I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU COMING HERE! Also the crowd meter in the app is not helpful, anything above one notch means a wait ESPECIALLY for the bench press/deadlift machine, which is always taken! Keep in mind that this is a beginner gym, it simply isn’t equipped with the needed heavy weights for powerlifting or advanced body builders. The stronger you become the less useful this gym is for you. You will see 97% of people with average to decent physiques and 3% with impressive physiques. The variety of equipment is decent but not great. Lastly, half of the entire gym is taken up by cardio machines, there’s too many cardio machines and not enough bodybuilding machines. There’s been atleast 3 occasions where the crowd was so heavily crowded that I just left out the gym without even working out. The nickname for this gym is planet wait-ness, because you’ll wait about 25-50% of your time here during crowded times. DONT BOTHER COMING WHEN ITS CROWDED.

It's still a great gym, although some of the machines were a bit older and some were not operational. Staff is great as usual. I will go back.
