I felt so welcome and surprisingly I did not feel judged by anyone, employee or member. It was clean and all the machines have instructions on how to use and which muscles that particular machine worked on.

I have never joined a gym before so all this is new to me. The staff is friendly, the place is clean and the other members just do thier own thing. Exactly what I was looking for.

I needed to change my membership to a new location in my own town. I called first on the phone and talked to a young girl named AJ. She also waited on me at the Hawkins location. I just wanted to let the facility know that this girl was phenomenal!She not only went the second mile to help me, but was just a pleasure to be around. She helped me and answered all of my questions and acted happy to do so. In todays world it is not always easy to find someone who really tries to help you out. She never acted like it was “just her job”. I believe in “Credit where credit is due.” AJ is an asset to your facility!Kudos to you AJ!

I went to this planet fitness location the other day and the facility was very clean and well maintained! The locker room area was very nice and their fluorescent mirrors make your photos look great! It was not too crowded which I liked- I went around 4:15pm. However, there was quiet a bit of of cardio equipment out of order which caused me to have to be on equipment directly next to someone else and which is why I am giving them 4 stars. The treadmills were very hard on my knees as I was running, there was very little bounce to them. Other than the equipment being out of order- this location is clean, easily accessible, and not too crowded!
