Planet Fitness — Local services in Marion

This is a great place to work out! They have a machine to strengthen every part of your body. The massage chairs provide a great end of work out relaxation and helps relax your muscles. The tanning beds are great as well! They have built in fans to keep you cooled off and relaxing music plays so your not just laying in silence. The locker room is great and has everything you need from showers, to changing rooms, of course bathrooms, lockers, and even hair dryers. I showered there and they are very clean, really the whole building is. The water stayed hot for my whole 20 minute shower and there was another woman showering before I started and was still showering all through me putting on lotion and getting dressed and she must have had hot water all the way through or she wouldn't have been in there that long. The workers are always very nice and helpful! My first time coming in I asked lots of questions and they answered everything without making me feel stupid. Everyone just works out and does their own thing. You don't have people staring at you or making u feel uncomfortable....

I've been going here regularly for the past three years and the gym meets the needs for my general fitness goals. I wish they had the more practical areas for battle ropes and box jumping that I've seen at other locations, or a Step Mill, but it gets the job done. Definitely not a place for power lifting. Staff in the early mornings are pretty awesome, those in the afternoons when people get off work are hit or miss...especially when enforcing the traditional policies of a PF like no water jugs, which is pretty lame. Overall I like it because I can get in and out when it's convenient for me, but sometimes it gets crowded by noobs that you never see again, but I always try to stay respectful and wait patiently. Locker rooms are always clean, which I have to say is the most impressive part that I see the people in the mornings cleaning very thoroughly...

The staff here are very friendly. The facility is cleaner than most gyms I’ve been to. I can’t think of anything that annoys me too much.

10/16/21 edit: So, after comparing this location to other Planet Fitnesses and other gyms I’ve been to in my life- I have to say that this SPECIFIC Planet Fitness is much cleaner than normal. The staff always seems to be keeping busy cleaning, inspecting equipment, whatever. It seems counter-intuitive that a Marion location is outperforming another locality- but it is a fact. Probably has something to do with the specific Manager or Owner of this location.

Also, ALL the staff is pretty darn friendly but I particularly like the red-headed guy that works here. Not sure if he’s in mgmnt, but...
