Great location off of Route 1. Friendly staff, very clean, usually not too busy when I head in (weekday mornings/evenings), and they just upgraded most of all their cardio machines to newer models! It's not a very large gym but they pretty much everything you could need and for $10/month, you can't complain much!

I’ve had a membership for the last few years and have suggested it to my friends and family. I got a Black Membership for me and my son so we can travel and use the many Planet Fitness locations around the country. The staff is great, the equipment is new and readily available whenever I choose to work out.

Good place for a workout, but staff need to ensure that members clean equipment after use. Too many times I've witnessed members showing no regard for hygiene. Staff need to start enforcing by being on the equipment floor instead of behind front desk.

The gym itself is good for the price. Has everything I need. The rating is for the employees. This is the second weekend I am here and I'm assuming an employee is late and the gym is not open. It is almost 8am and still noone. Complete waste of my time. This isn't too mention how miserable most of them are all the time. The place needs more accountable and personable employees.

I just wanted to take time and thank the manager Mr. David (sorry If i spell the name wrong). I had a situation where I had to switch my club back to here at Alexandria. I understand that it was not a easy process as it hasn't been three month yet with my recent club. Mr David not only instructed me on what to do but also he personally called the manager of my recent club and regional manager to get my work done. I am just impressed!!!!I would like to thank Planet Fitness to have a such a kind manager to help people like us....

A decent Planet Fitness. The Staff is top notch. Greg was super helpful with my transfer to the Germantown Md. location. Made a lot of friends while training at this gym. If there is any down side to this gym, it is the size of the place, and lack of some equipment and they only have 60 lb dumbbells.Too bad PF doesn't put in squat racks

This was my first visit to this location. The staff was very friendly and helpful. This location is clean and equipment works. Plenty of equipment to use during your workout routine. I just wish they had more hydromassage beds. Parking lot offers free parking directly in front of PF.

Decent clean gym with a good amount of stuff to use. Staff is always super friendly. The only issue I had was peak hours being super crowded and it being hard to find space to work out what I wanted to work out. Go before 3:30pm or after 8:30pm.

Not typically a gym person but this place is great. All machines in good working condition. Clean. Great low monthly price for all they offer. I just visited FL and was able to use my membership there. I highly recommend, especially if you travel often and like to keep up on your exercise!

Very clean location. The staff is very friendly. Thete are people even at extremely late hours on Saturdays. I usually do morning and its slightly busy then. One suggestion is that barbells would be nice and bosu balls/tension ropes. Otherwise the people are pleasant enough. I isually come in to get my workout in and head back out. So not really social for an opinion on that. Bathrooms do have pipe leaks...seems to be a trend at all of the planet fitnesses in the area which is very weird to me.
