Best Gyms with Saunas near West-springfield, Massachusetts

I’ve been a member here for over a year now, and the thing I love most about Healthtrax is that there’s such a variety of ways to workout and stay active there! I do think there are a few machines that have been in need of a fix for a little while now. But that being said, the over all environment at Healthtrax is very welcoming, especially the coaches! My coach is Dan, and I’ve been working with him since I joined. He’s got such a natural ability to make people excited to workout! He’s always coming up with new activities to do and he’s really boosted my confidence as a gym goer! Plus, he’s always having fun, which makes the people he works with have a great time too! All of the coaches are wonderful, and I know I can go to any of them if I’ve got a question about a certain workout move or machine. I recommend Healthtrax to all of my friends, it’s definitely the best gym environment I’ve been in. If you’re looking for a fun and inclusive gym, Healthtrax is the way to go!

I love this gym. It definitely has many options and opportunities for their members including sauna, steam room, and a pool. The staff and the trainers are amazing, knowledgeable, and very friendly. The only thing that stops me from giving this gym 5 stars is I wish they offered more benefits to their members and the maintenance could be a bit more on point. Other than that, great gym. Way better than PF.

I’ve been a member for just over a year and have gone very regularly during that time. Things were fine up until the past few months. It suddenly seems like sooooo many machines are starting to break and soooo much equipment is falling apart. I now have to be strategic with which ellipticals or treadmills to use, just to avoid getting stuck with a bad one that either makes loud clunking noises or (in the case of the ellipticals) doesn’t increase the intensity past a certain point for some reason. Also, only 1 or 2 of the stair masters actually work at any given time. Some of the treadmills and weight machines have straight up been taken off the floor, so the amount of usable equipment is decreasing. I’ve also noticed lately that the roof has been leaking A LOT, which ends up staining the carpets (and probably leads to mold growth). Additionally, throughout the entirety of my membership, the women’s showers have been a sad situation. It’s always dirty, the curtains are sketchy, and the water pressure is basically like spraying a hose in your face sometimes. A facelift to upgrade the shower stalls with doors that actually seal (no more 1 inch gap) for privacy and new shower heads would make a world of difference. In short - the gym is really starting to fall into serious disrepair. It just seems tired, dated, and dirty. I am very much considering taking my membership elsewhere to a gym that has plentiful working machines and overall clean facilities. Which is sad, because the location is convenient and there’s a lot of potential for this to be a much better gym if it cleaned up its act. I see that other reviewers have mentioned some of these issues and management has responded saying things are getting fixed “soon” - yet more reviewers continue to mention it. Take pride in your business and fix the place up instead of offering empty promises! The fact that this gym has a pool, sauna and basketball court sets it above other basic gyms - now, if it were actually clean and had newer working equipment, this could be an amazing gym with booming business! UPDATE: As of 9/1/24, Healthtrax has abruptly increased their monthly rates by $2. This change was made without notifying members and no improvements have been made throughout the club. It’s unclear how this increase will directly benefit members - if at all. I will be taking my membership elsewhere.

My favorite aspect of the gym is the personal training program. My trainer, Jim, makes the sessions challenging, but not past my limits. He’s probably the only reason I show up to the gym most of the time. I have enjoyed and appreciated all the help Jim gives me with teaching new exercises and showing me stretches after the workout. I would highly recommend training with Jim to anyone, no matter your skill level. When I first joined, I was newer to strength training/going to a gym. But none of the sessions are intimidating and I know there’s no judgement from him if I have questions. I’m looking forward to continuing to my progress.

Although it’s not my home gym, I’ve come to Healthtrax West Springfield many different times now. Each time, the space as a whole (gym, locker room, sauna) is very well-kept. The overall layout of the gym is made in such a way that even during busier hours, there’s still space to do my workouts. Overall, no complaints with this location!

I don’t go to PF but my husband and daughter do. They only transferred to PF because the hours are better than our previous gym. The reason for 3 stars. However, they have complained way too many times of people going in, taking multiple machines at one time and to make matters worse, they take 15-20 minute breaks in between each rep and sit on the machines while they’re playing on social media. How is this allowed? GET IT TOGETHER PLANET FITNESS!!! There is no way anyone should be aloud to take over multiple machines. This is not their personal home gym. And to sit and look through your phone for 15 minutes or more while other people would just like to get their work out done and keep it moving. Some of us work, families, obligations, oh and a life!!! We don’t have 3, 4, 5 hours to be at the gym waiting for people who are just there playing around. We pay for our memberships just as they do. You need to have staff that will walk around and put a stop to this nonsense! Someone literally walked up to my husband to tell him he had to put his bag in a locker but you allow people to just chill on machines that other people would like to make use of, while they scroll through their phones??? And don’t even get me started with people who have to record themselves and get pissed of God forbid someone walks through their video. PF…you need better rules and regulations!!! All this crap about “We are not a gym” and sounding a lunk alarm. What you need to do is make sure your GYM is a place people can go in and get their work done, PERIOD!!!

I really liked this planet fitness in West Springfield. It was so spacious and they had so many treadmills , weights, racks and elliptical equipment. And I liked that they also had 3 different areas to workout separately to do a 30 minute workout, a specialty room for 360 members and a stretch area. I was greeted very nicely when I went in and when I left. And I tried the massage chair for the first time and that was so relaxing! The bathrooms & shower area were big and so clean.

Alexis was very friendly and supportive even as he worked a late-night shift. He went above and beyond and the other staff was friendly as well. This is a great planet fitness and I’m excited to come back!

Absolutely love it. The best place for a working person like me. It is 24 hours a day from Mon to Fri. Well maintained, clean, friendly environment. No fears and no tears at all.

Definitely had one of the... WORST workouts here. I mean, how am I supposed to do a chest day when ALL OF THE space here is taken by... treadmills. This location most likely only needs 15 max or even less at times. The staff are unknowledgeable when it comes to lifting and clearly are only there cause it's an easy paycheck. Even on the (okay quality) machines, there's just not enough of them to even have a workout in a mannered time. I DEFINTELY HIGHLY DO NOT recommend this location for lifting, as there's a more soulful gym not that far away!
