I would say that in terms of Planet Fitness at Suntec City being a gym, it would have gotten five stars from me. After all, what is there not to love about Planet Fitness?
There is the great view where you will get a clear view of the Singapore Flyer and the waters while one is working out. For ladies, you get to sweat it out privately at the womens' area where only ladies are allowed there so that we can not appear unglamorous in front of the opposite ***. And at no point of time have I encountered any spoilt machines.
The changing rooms and dressing rooms are superb with a steam room and a sauna for us to get as much out of our slimming regime. Every bathing room is filled with complimentary shampoo and soap. Furthermore, there are hair-dryers and cotton buds to serve us at the dressing table.
The personal trainers are charming and willing to please. In fact, my personal trainer was so nice that he didn't even bat an eyelid when I said that I prefer my slimming regime to be one of where "I can eat a lot and lose weight at the same time." He was also easy to talk to and entertained weird questions from my friends and I about his sexual orientation. (Haha. We were under the impression that all gym instructors were *ahem* ***. Sorry.) Despite all our nonsense, every time he saw us at the gym, he will make an extra effort to make sure we were doing the exercises right.
Also, there were also classes where we could learn things like yoga, dancing and even aqua aerobics at our very own private swimming pool.
So what was the problem?
There were two business service problems incidents which I encountered.
Firstly, as we were students, we were offered a student package which the prices were much much lower than that of a normal package. We only had to pay $60 odd per month. We ought to be happy, isn't it? However, it was long before I found out that another of my friend had gotten a better package deal, one that cost less than $60 and had access to all Planet Fitness gyms from another agent just a week ago. And thus, we were indignant at the unfair treatment. We also learnt that different agents will come out with different offers of packages, so do check the different rates of the agents before signing up the packages.
Another incident would be that the amount payable every month was supposed to be automatically deducted via GIRO and that would save us all the trouble. Unfortunately, for my friends and I, they were late in processing our GIRO forms and payment to the gym was delayed for about three months. In the end, we ended up having to go down to the gym and paid the three months debt at one-shot. And for three months, this problem was never brought up and we had all automatically assumed that money was deducted from our accounts. To make matters worse, there wasn't any explanation offered for the error.
These two incidents dramatically cut short my fitness program at Planet Fitness in 2007.

This is new to me. Didn't know there can be different package prices! Thanks for alerting. Lucky I'm not really a gym person.

Why shouldn't anyone love Planet Fitness @ Suntec City?
The location itself, is close to perfection. Being situated close to offices, exhibition halls and the shopping strip linked within the 5 blocks of Suntec City makes it such an enticing place to visit. Exiting from the lift, the sleek sight of the entrance just makes one feel like dashing right into the gym. Friendly staffs greet you at the reception, before you proceed into the changing room.
It's ironical to say, the changing room is one of the most pleasant place to hang around. Hygiene and cleanliness are two important aspects to me, and Planet Fitness @ Suntec met my expectations wonderfully. Spanking clean and tidy, I really wonder how they manage to keep their changing room and bathing section so well maintained. The lockers are a pleasure to store our bags and clothes, instead of having to worry about dirtying them.
One might feel lost if they were to step into Planet Fitness @ Suntec for the first time. That is understandable. Not only are we looking at a huge hall of workout equipments, this gym boost two levels of workout area. The weight and cardiac training are available mostly on the bottom level, while more treadmills are hosted on the second level.
What makes me fall in love so much with this gym, is the fantastic scenery I can look out to as I work out. Never mind the TVs, even though there are plenty enough all around the gym hall. How many gyms are able to provide this "backdrop"? Honestly, I can't remember any.
One other thing that I am highly impressed, the attention given by their trainers. The very first time I signed up, they took extensive discussions and light tests to determine my abilities and probable training schedule. They were always ready to offer answers, and that only mean they are all appropriately qualified to do so. When they see you long enough, it's a great pleasure to be addressed by our names... more like friends.
No doubt I have shifted my training regime out of their cemented walls and glass panels, I still hold high regards for this particular gym. If you're a beginner in workouts, this is one place you should really go to.
Oh, have I forgotten to tell you, gym members are entitled to use the Suntec Swimming Pool? (Not available to public) The only setback is, you gotta walk a distance to another lift to hit the waters. Otherwise, a small refundable deposit makes it all the more worthwhile. Not to mention, not many people knows Suntec has a windy swimming pool on its roof even.
My verdict? Full thumbs up! A little expensive but worth every cent of it.
