I was a bit skeptical about joining PF near campus after reading all the reviews on here. So before joining I got a 3 day pass at lifetime to compare and I was previously a fitness connection member. Since I am student I couldnt afford payig 30 a month at lifetime so I decided to go with planet fitness. I must say it exceeded my expectations. Gym is very clean staff is very friendly and informative. They answered all the questions I had prior to joining PF. I have been going there for a week now and I absolutely enjoy working out there. My experience there has been great so far. You see very diversed crowd in there. I normally go when the gym is not so busy to get a good workout in. $10 a month for clean gym that has all the equipment to stay fit is a steal. I hope this helps anyone who is contemplating about joining PF near campus.

I don't go to the gym to make friends. As far as the crowd, I'm a 4:30 AM guy, and there weren't many people there. The gym was clean, so I don't get the other reviews on here about it being dirty. I did find it annoying that the cable machine attachments did not have a rack. They were just lying on the floor. They have a perfect empty spot for a rack too. Also they didn't have the mid-weights, like 17.5, 22.5, 27.5, etc... They also didn't have individual TV screens on the bike machines, but instead, large TV's on the ceiling. Maybe this feature is just something I'm used to at my gym. Just an FYI...The ab circuit area is very nice. Overall I was impressed with this place.I'm visiting from NY on business and found this gym to be very nice. Didn't interact with the staff, but they seemed friendly enough. I still think my hometown LaGrange NY PF is the best, but this was a decent home away from home.

Great Planet Fitness location! Was a member for years before I stopped going to the gym for personal reasons. This facility was always clean and the paper towels always full. Staff was very friendly and they were always packed. Being 247 allowed me to go whenever I wanted. I never really had to wait long to use a machine even during peak hours. For the price you cant beat it. And you get unlimited tanning with the black card.

I love Planet Fitness! The staff is extremely friendly at all hours. I love hearing "Enjoy your workout. I'm at the facility at all hours and have yet to have a negative experience. Wondering if they hire senior people for employment as well.🤔 …

I have been a member at this club since it has opened. They have a lot of turnover. Some of them are pleasant and others act as if we are doing them a favor by coming to the gym. The woman's bathroom toilet seats need to be changed. They are so old at this point. They are probably the original ones from the day it opened its doors . The free WiFi is not so free. It hasn't worked in months. It doesn't work in any of the guns around town because I do frequent different gyms during the week.

Pros: they just renovated the front half of the building so the ab/stretch area is bigger and the front desk is much nicer looking. The tanning beds are nice and the equipment they have is all in good shape.CONS: They apparently do not have all that the other PF clubs have, and that makes me sad. Their weight collection is lacking, there's definitely a HUGE emphasis on cardio equipment instead of weights and strength. The bathrooms are smaller than most gyms.FINAL: it's a really nice facility for what it is, and memberships start at $10 a month so you REALLY can't beat the value. But it might not be for someone who wants to really advance in their trainings.

I have been going to this gym for 5 years and I have always found it great! The staff has always been super nice and pleasant to deal with and I have never found anything disgusting or unsanitary about the equipment. I tried the hydro message beds for the first time last week and the woman who ran the front desk showed me how everything works and was very kind. The only negatives to this gym that I can find is that it is a VERY busy gym. Lots of people go here and it can become quite crowded. They don't really seem to enforce any of their dress code standards so be prepared to see lots of girls in sports bras and guys in muscle tanks. Lastly there is usually some equipment that is "out of order" which can be frustrating but what can you expect them to do with so many people using there equipment. Overall I think they do a great job here and I enjoy my workouts

For some reason there always seems to be 1 person working when I come in or no one at all. I have actually seen people walk right in and start working out since there was no one at the front desk. If someone is there they are on the phone asking whoever on the other end what they plan to do later that day. They also don't aknowledge the customers standing at the desk with questions. Other problems include the circuit areas. Which seems like a lot of the customers don't follow the rules and don't wipe down the equipment. The staff says they will keep a better eye on it, but how can they do that if there is only one person working?

I love this gym. As a woman I was intimidated by weight training but they have a personal fitness instructor on site that is willing to coach you. I try to be considerate of those around and follow the simple rules of wiping my equipment with the material the gym provides. It is a basic gym and not as nice as the other "newer" planet fitness but the helpfulness and motivating atmosphere makes up for it! I've been going 2 months now and this is the longest I've stuck to working out. I've been to a lot of gyms but I love this one best. It's the people that make the difference.

This gym is the worst ever!!! I have only came a few times and only because my university is located in this area. The staff is extremely rude and they never smile. I pulled a mat from the front to use it in the ab room and I was rushed by 2 bodyguard staff members. I felt like I was about to be arrested. I didn't know I couldn't move it and I was treated like a criminal. Totally rude people in this place. The napkins are never filled. The ladies bathroom is disgusting and it's overcrowded. Management at this location needs in depth coaching ASAP. Please hire some friendly, mature individuals who don't mind cleaning!!!
