Terribly filthy Club. The Bathrooms are never cleaned. The health department would Shut this place down due to how extremely dirty and unhygienic this club is. They are always out of toilet paper in the stalls. The sinks are persistently NOT working and people can NOT wash their hands. The soap dispensers don’t work. The staff is incredibly lazy and lack any willingness to work. None of the staff clean. They all like to stand at the front and play with their phone. None of them clean. The manager is very negligent and a big part of the problem.

Bathroom and showers and changing rooms needs to be moppedOn a regular. By the looks of them I can tellThey do the bare minimum. Old shower gel and hair in the showers . The doors of the changing room haven’t been wiped in how long. Old lotion and hair ties on the floor. It’s nasty . Take better care of this. The WHOLE GYM ! And NOT JUST THE FLOOR WHERE thee EQUIPMENT IS

I spent a week at the beach in Carlsbad for a mid-winter getaway, and wanted to get in at least one or two workouts to offset the restaurant meals and wine I'd been consuming, so it was great to see the large assortment of gyms in the area. I decided to check out this Planet Fitness after having seen many of their TV commercials over the years. I was pleasantly surprised by the space and excellent equipment. The person at the front desk was friendly and helpful, and the gym was very clean, well organized and free of charge for a 24hr first time visit! While it wasn't quite as expansive and equipment-heavy as my gym back home, I was more than satisfied and got a good workout. Would definitely go again. Tips for other newbie/visitors: I was there in the early afternoon on a weekday and there was zero-crowds (a problem at other gyms in the area, so I've heard). And for men, if you want to "fit in" here, it's tee-shirts with either sweatpants or loose fitting gym or track shorts. I'm glad, by chance, I didn't wear my normal tank top like I do at my regular gym, and opted for a cut-off tee instead--lest I set off the dreaded Lunk Alarm . . . LOL!

good luck trying to cancel. I've been trying for several months if and when they do pick up the phone they make empty promises.

Yet another cancellation issue. I found out that despite canceling my membership, Planet Fitness had been billing me for over a year. They made their classic argument to decline a refund. I'm actually an online advertising specialist, so I might have been clicking on their ads, and remarking ads on social media. etc. Remarking campaign clicks are not expensive, nonetheless, it adds up over time. They do not do that many ads on Google, however, if you google 'Planet Fitness', they are bidding for that particular keyword. So each time one clicks on it, it costs them money. Who knows, I might have set myself a reminder to keep on clicking. However, concentrated clicks do not count if spread out using different devices and IPs. Let's see how much they are willing to lose.

Planet Fitness Gym is a good place to get in shape. The employees are friendly and helpful. The hydromassage beds are a great addition and all of the equipment works great. The only downside to this gym is that there are no barbells and the men's bathroom can be a bit dirty. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall experience is still positive.

The women's restroom is always disgusting. Soap dispenser is always broken. This evening there is NO soap at all available. Staff are too busy talking and visiting to make sure things are stocked properly.
