With a focus on Big Fitness Energy, Planet Fitness remains a great option for those seeking a positive workout experience. Additionally, truck drivers will appreciate the limited parking for big rigs, especially during early morning or late night hours. Many find it a good place to take a break from daily routines and focus on their fitness goals.
Great place in the heart of DeKalb/Sycamore to get a workout in. Staff were always great and treated everyone like a family member. If my new residence didn’t have a built in gym I’d be a member for life. Maybe when I move again I’ll get the membership back.
This location consistently opens late everyday day whether 5a or 7a opening. Sitting here at 7:25a, still not open. Pretty frustrating. Maybe we can get some attention to this.
Saturday 4/25 no one showed up until 745a to open the gym that was to be open at 7am.
Sunday 5/3 no one showed up until 7:27a to open the gym that was to open at 7am.
From the moment you walk through the doors, Jake’s presence is immediately felt—not in an overbearing or performative way, but through a calm, grounded confidence that sets the tone for the entire environment. He carries himself with a level of professionalism that most people don’t develop until much later in life. It’s not just that he greets members; it’s how he does it—direct eye contact, genuine warmth, and an awareness that makes each person feel acknowledged rather than processed.
