MPG Fitness

Great gym. Top notch trainers. Wide range of equipment!!! Very friendly staff that love to help out when needed.

I went to MPG as a guest and got to work out for free. They have an awesome cross-​functional set up and the gym is small but organized nicely. Sadly, there is no sauna. But they do have this relatively new (to me anyways) machine that vibrates and you can do exercises on it. I think it’s called a Power Plate. It had my quads and hams working overtime. You should check out MPG if you are in the area.

I have been a member of MPG Fitness for a little over a year now and a member of various other ‘franchise’ gyms for the last ten years. This is hands down by far the best gym in the area. The staff, facility, equipment, location, quality instruction and challenging classes are top notch. The trainers and staff are all friendly and truly care about helping you reach your individual goals. The instructors are phenomenal and the various programs offered cater to your specific needs based on your fitness level. Coming from running every day I was skeptical about making the change to weight lifting. After a few months at MPG I realized my body truly didn’t need the cardio, I was getting better results from the weight lifting alone. At MPG Fitness expect the unexpected and be prepared, they will challenge your body to a level you have not reached before.

MPG fitness is one of the best gyms to work out at. Unlike other gyms such as Hometown Fitness and Planet Fitness, the staff and trainers at MPG care about all of their members. With a wide array of fitness equipment, there is something for everyone. MPG fitness also offers classes that I have never seen at other gyms. The classes are so distinct and personalized that is impossible to not get the best workout of your life. This gym continues to upgrade and remain at the top of its game. With the cleanliness and comfortable atmosphere, I would only choose this gym.

Went back to Illinois for winter break, and I needed a gym to work out at while I was there. I got to talking to the employees, and they were all helpful and diligent. The gym was very clean, and there was plenty of equipment for the most part.
The only reason I didn’t give the gym five stars is because I’d like to see a little bit more cardio equipment,

Very welcoming, which is what I look for in a gym. I appreciate the variety and quality of the equipment. Some stuff I have never seen before, but they were happy to show me how it works, the benefit, and didn’t make me feel stupid for asking. Much more affordable and approachable than your normal corporately run places. Best part about MPG is that the staff truly cares about helping you and working on your goals, whatever they may be.

MY ONE-​WEEK GUEST PASS EXPERIENCE:
For a few months I’d thought about joining a gym. I wanted to find a place that was close to home, on my way home from work, and reasonably priced (~$ 20/​month). MPG Fitness fit the bill.
Anthony gave me a tour. He is a very intense, passionate, and knowledgeable person. It quickly became clear to me that MPG is not a typical gym. The employees do not mill about, stand idle behind the desk, or chat on the phone. Every time I was here, they were all active, either working out themselves or training with other members. It’s nice to see.
There was no hard sell. They do month-​to-​month, one year, and two year contracts. Their rates are totally reasonable, the equipment is brand new, they offer equipment I’d never seen before AND they will show you how to use it. The gym itself is very clean, it was never crowded; and as involved as they are with their members, I felt welcome to come in, hop on the treadmill and just do my thing.
I wasn’t too interested in the free training session, until I met Lindsey, a very vivacious and friendly trainer who showed me a few new things when I asked her. Then she scheduled a training session with me for the following Monday.
That Monday, (my week pass expired on the past Thursday), she texted me and asked if I could reschedule. No problem, I just moved my appointment to that Thursday, which turned out to be more convenient for me.
Then, on Thursday, I got stuck working late. I texted her, apologized, and asked if I could reschedule. She said she’d get back to me.
A week passed, and I texted her again, asking to reschedule. She said she’d get back to me. I never heard back from her.
MPG is a great place to work out for novices who aren’t completely insecure or intimidated. MPG is ideal for those who are more advanced and looking to change up their routine. Scheduling a personal training session is definitely tricky, but since it wasn’t something I was initially interested in, I won’t let that reflect my rating of MPG.
I do intend to sign up here, but the communication fail to reschedule definitely had an impact on me going back recently. It’s my own problem that I haven’t come back to sign up or work out on my own. You know how it goes — working late, busy evenings, excuses excuses! But I do plan to go back.

Good gym, good trainers.

This place is awesome! The trainers here are extremely knowledgeable and they will help you get results FAST. I have worked with trainers before and they can’t compare. They teach you exactly the correct way to do an exercise so you will get MAXIMUM benefit from the work you are putting in. Of course, you have to actually work, not just go through the motions. Lets face it, who wants to put in the time and effort and not get the most benefit? Thanks to Anthony and Sue for bringing MPG to Plainfield.
