Best Gyms with Functional Training Equipment near Shakopee, Minnesota

I have been traveling since 2018 and in recent years have worked out at dozens of Planet Fitness locations across the US. This one sets the bar high for cleanliness, equipment availability, use of space, and professional staff. The Black Spa area is phenomenal, with more options than any other PF I've visited. The gym is busy but never felt crowded because of the layout of all the equipment and specialized training areas. I do want to mention one staff member (Bill) specifically because he is a total rockstar. He is constantly moving through a variety of tasks: checking in members, cleaning, stocking, helping with questions, and signing up new members. He is non-stop! In the week I've been going to this gym, I never once saw him standing still, on his phone, or distracted from his work. He is focused, friendly, and professional. He is the gold standard for the frontline team at PF and should be in some sort of training position. I will definitely visit this location again if my travels bring me back to this area of MN.

Shakopee Planet Fitness is Awesome! The Manager is amazing. He has his team energetic, joyful, helpful, and in great shape to make working out clean and comfortable. I appreciate the fun vibes! Great job to all the Employees!

Great location and easy to get to. There's more than enough safe parking for this Planet Fitness. Staff was awesome, courteous and attentive. There is more than enough equipment for both cardiovascular and weight training even if it's crowded. This is definitely one of the best and largest Planet Fitness locations to check out.

Marcus has trained and helped me to get into proper shape for the army basic training. Thanks to that I feel more confident going now. He's good at motivating and pushing one through an exercise but also listens to requests and adapts. I really appreciated that. I can genuinely recommend him as a very good trainer.

The hours could be better. Bill was not a nice guy. I don’t know what I did but I just felt very unwelcome during my recent visit. He watched me like a hawk scan in and had me scan again when I asked to use the massage chair. That may sound normal but the night guys are a lot nicer and they don’t have me scan my card right in front of them to use the massage room stuff. A bad experience all around. I’ll likely not come again during the day. He might be a manager but he didn’t have to make me feel uncomfortable about it.

I just recently started using Anytime Fitness as my primary gym, and I absolutely love the small town feel of it and how engaged the trainers are! So far, I've had short sessions with Sam, Andrew, and Brandy. Each one of the trainers has their own unique style and strengths and pushed me, teaching me exercises that I now use in my workouts on my own. Thank you for being so personal and engaging each time I've walked through your doors!

Amazing staff to work with! Andrew is super knowledgeable and friendly. He can help anyone with their goals, whether you are new to the gym or have experience. I highly recommend working with them!

This gym has definitely changed for the better. Offering an updated feel (very spacious, and tons of mirrors), newer bathrooms, tanning, and a plethora of new equipment. Seems to me it will only continue to get better from here on out.

I have been a loyal member of Anytime Fitness Shakopee for over 5 years, but my recent experience has left me extremely disappointed. When I came in to cancel my membership, I was met with a poor attitude from Kayla that was completely unsatisfactory. After years of dedication, I expected a more respectful and professional interaction. This experience has truly tarnished my perception of this gym.

Earlier this year I wanted to start going to a gym to get into shape for a physically demanding national service position. Swayed by the inexpensive base price of Anytime Fitness and the initial friendly encounters, I started attending this gym regularly. I explained I would very quickly (2-3 months) be moving across the country for this position, and they excitedly asked me about it most times I went to the gym. I was then convinced to sign up for personal training sessions by Sam. Apparently, the only agreement for training sessions is a 6-month contract, but I was explicitly told I would not be charged all 6 months but just for the few weeks left before I departed and also be gifted free sessions. After I completed my term, I saw that I had been charged all summer (hundreds more than I ever agreed to pay). I brought this to their attention in early October (I cancelled my membership in May). After over 2 months of back and forth, them rescheduling nearly every phone call and email the day of, telling me I'd get refunded in full, blaming it on corporate, they are now offering me less than half of what they already told me I would get refunded and claiming they are doing me a favor by not charging me an additional several hundred dollars for cancellation fees. Their current solution is for me to continue to buy their services with the money they stole even though I do not live there anymore and have not since April which was clear and discussed since the day I started my membership. The few training sessions themselves were enjoyable enough, and I had fun working out with the other members of the gym and even brought the trainers gifts from work. However, my expressed goals of learning how to make my own workout plans and learning more about how to use the equipment were not met, and I did not receive nutrition advice besides a single recommendation for a protein bar. I feel completely taken advantage of and scammed. I was blatantly lied to. I will actively recommend against going to this predatory gym. Edit: cannot respond to owner's comment, so here is my response: Sam has told me he has been working with you for the past two months, and you have not reached out a single time until now. A great way to have a good reputation is by being honest and upholding your agreements.

I love working out here! The music and personal challenges keep me going harder than I ever would by myself. The coaches are encouraging and professional. Worth the money for the supreme health benefits and camaraderie.

This place changed my life. The workouts are stellar. After having kids I didn’t want to have to think about and plan my workouts. I get all of that here and more! The staff is wonderful! The coaches know their stuff! 🩷

I love this place!! No matter your fitness level they got you! Stacy and Trish are such great coaches!!

I've been going for a couple months now and am so glad I joined! It's a really efficient 1hr workout, with cardio (treadmill and rower) and floor weight exercises. You can work at your own pace - push yourself as hard as you want, with guidance and encouragement from the coaches. The coaches are definitely a high point here - knowledgeable, motivational and upbeat. I'm already seeing benefits to my speed, endurance and recovery.

I was really nervous to attend classes at first but everyone-coaches, management, staff, and other members are so welcoming and supportive of each other. I like how classes are structured so I don’t have to think too much about planning out my workout. I also like how inclusive the coaches are and how they offer modifications as well as demo them, for different floor exercises! I’m definitely hooked!
