Clean facility, friendly staff, plenty of space and variety of equipment. Can get busy around 5 during the week but it’s never overcrowded. Whether I want to do cardio, strength training, or just stretching/yoga I’ve had everything I need. It’s always a crowd of really nice everyday people and I don’t get intimidated. And, bonus, I’ve never been harassed or hit on, as opposed to every other gym I’ve been to.

Great value for the money.If you already are into working out and fitness, this gym is great. A lot of modern equipment, not very crowded, good setup. The only downside is that there aren't any extras...no towels provided, no juice bar, nothing like that. But for the price, it's great.

Walking in you can see plenty of trash in the small portion of grass. It has been there for a while. The interior of the the facility may be clean and is very cheap compared to what else that's out there: ie: LA Fitness, Anytime fitness and Snap 24/7. They offer plenty of equipment to use. But come on, why don't the people who come into their fitness center treat the property with respect! Shame on you members!

I was driving through the heights of the Columbia district when I came to this fitness facility. I walked into the planet fitness and noticed it was a consistent height and not curved as the district led me to believe. It has a nice height …

Love the place, there are plenty of machines available all day every day. Staff is friendly, everything is clean and well stocked. My singular issue is that there are no scales. I get the judgment free philosophy, however some of us wish to know how far we have progressed.

I love this place! I am a fit guy who works out daily. I had a membership at Lifetime at one point but wanted to try somewhere less expensive. It is a judgment free zone here even for me. I had seen and heard about other PF judging bigger guys for lifting heavy but it has not happened to me here! The only thing I wish is that they had a few actual squat racks instead of only Smith machines and adding some landmines and a shrug machine. And they hired a personal trainer named Rich who is great! He is very personable and has a great attitude and personality.Over all a thumbs up.

Extremely clean. Staff isFriendly and helpful. Great equipment. Their hydro water massage chair is worth every ache or pain earned from pushing yourself from a hard workout. Great place to work out. Quietest times are my favorite time to go and thats, late night.

Love this gym! It is large offering a ton of equipment. I like that they have double weight machines so there isnt an issue with someone else using a certain machine because there is another one next to it. The locker room is nice and clean with 4 showers. There is also a quick 30 min workout section that I find fascinating and helpful. A light changed from green and red letting you know when to switch exercises and each machine details what to do. If you get the black card membership (23$) you get to use the hydro chair/bed (Fantastic! Especially after a workout) as well as tanning beds and red light therapy (major pro for me). Also great gym if you travel. AND you can get unlimited guest pass! Overall I am really happy with Planet Fitness and this location.
