Planet Fitness — Attraction in Lake Forest

I’ve been working out at Planet Fitness for a while now, and I have to say this location is one of the cleanest and most well-organized gyms I’ve ever seen. The equipment is always wiped down, the locker rooms are spotless, and everything feels professional and welcoming. The staff here deserve a lot of credit — they are friendly, respectful, and always ready to help with a great attitude.

I’d like to kindly suggest to the management team to consider adding a Prone Leg Curl machine (also known as Lying Leg Curl) to the gym. This machine is highly beneficial for strengthening the hamstrings, which play a crucial role in supporting knee and hip stability. Strong hamstrings reduce the load on the lower back, improving overall balance and helping prevent strain and pain — especially for those dealing with chronic back issues like myself.

Not only does this equipment help reduce compensatory stress on the lower back, but it also contributes to better lower body stability, which can lower the risk of injury. Of course, proper form and core engagement are key when using this machine, but its benefits for back health and injury prevention are well-known among fitness and medical professionals.

I believe adding a Prone Leg Curl machine would make the facility even more complete and support members in building strength safely — especially for those of us focused on rehabilitation or preventing lower back pain.

Thank you for maintaining such a great environment, and I hope to see this addition...

Brand new Planet Fitness in Lake Forest.

Opened 4-07-22.

Great location and amenities.

Only $10 a month for basic membership to this location only.

Upgrade to the PF Black Card Membership for $22.99. It is well worth a few bucks extra. With PF Black you will have access to the VIP lounge where you can relax in a Massage Chair, Hydro Massage Bed, Tanning, Red Light therapy and more.

The Black card gets you loads of extras like use of Any PF Club Nation Wide! You can bring a friend every time you go and so much more.

This is great for Over The Road truck drivers or full time RV'ers or people living the #VanLife as a place to get a hot shower in a clean and safe environment. Couples can share one PF Black membership and just always bring your Significant Other as your plus one as your guest as long as you enter together you'll only need one membership.

I love that you can signup on their website, install the Planet Fitness app and be ready to go.

The app includes your scalable member bar code. Just scan in from the app when you arrive and your all set. Great for minimal contact with staff.

Check the Planet Fitness website for membership details.

This new location is great. The bathrooms with full showers were clean. The equipment was new and I constantly saw employees wiping down equipment.

Happy to have this new Planet Fitness location near me. Thank you.

Please give me a thumbs up 👍 if my review helped answer any questions about this great Planet...

Planet Fitness Lake Forest I was a member of this gym for about 6 months. I noticed a few months in that I was being overcharged ($40.03) each month when my membership rate for the PF Black Card Plus membership is only $24.99.

I contacted PF support and they let me know they cannot help because it is a franchised business. I emailed the specific gym and could not cancel online or get refunds because I’d need to sign in person.

I went in to the gym today and showed the staff member my recurring $40.03 charges and my membership page in my app showing that I should be paying $24.99. He let me know that this happens because when initially entering my payment information, some typo or error occurred and the system went ahead and charged my backup payment along with a late fee. There was no email to let me know that my backup payment was being used, nor that there was a late fee being assessed. The staff member confirmed that it happens all the time and gym members don’t get notified about this issue but need to go to the front desk at the gym when they see that they’ve been overcharged to get their payment corrected. I kindly asked if there was anything I could do to get a partial refund and he said no.

It’s a bad customer experience so I wanted to let others know to keep an eye out and go to the front desk right away if the payments are off. Don’t bother with PF Corp.

PS. Gross water puddles in the women’s showers and...
