The people that work there are super nice, the machines are always clean. They were doing maintenance the last time I went. I dread going there on Wednesdays though because of this specific class. There's two ladies, one in particular who is really entitled and a bully to people there. Especially to one of the workers. She should've been kicked out the first time I complained to the boss but she's still there causing trouble it seems. The boss said that they talked to her but it just takes time before something bad happens. Hopefully not to the wrong one.

I used to go here with my dad a lot. Always very clean and the staff is always polite. If you want a gym that feels a bit more beginner friendly this is a quality chain for that. (They even have a section that explicitly tells you what to do and when, for timed reps that it times for you. If that's what you want.)If you can drop the extra money I highly recommend the hydro massage beds in the members-only area. They're customizable to your hight and you can focus more intensity on various areas. Only massage device I ever tried that didn't just hurt me.I can't say I've had good experiences with the other patrons here but that isn't the gym's fault!

The convenience of 24 hour availability is wonderful. Having a black card membership allows me to bring a guest every time I come; I have been able to begin training multiple friends who have ended up joining PF themselves. The full size lockers in the locker room are nice and the large walk-in showers are a life saver when I have to go somewhere immediately following an intense workout session. Heavier dumbbells would be nice, but the sizes available are good for starting people down the path with good form. Staff members are very friendly and attentive to members.

When I can get to Denton I stop in for the PE@PF trainer assisted classes. Y'all hit the mark when you hired Brandon. He's the best I've seen at any PF! Thumbs up for sure! I'd love to clone him and put the clones at some of the other locations closer to my house. He runs a great class and genuinely cares if you improve your fitness. All around Awesome person! All the staff is nice, the place is clean and things work!!

They only have Smith machines, which makes getting a decent barbell workout impossible. They don't have a scale for you to weigh yourself before or after your workouts because they view that as fat shaming. This gym could be so much better, but they're more concerned with being anti "lunk" than they are with you actually bettering yourself.They give out free tootsie rolls and have pizza parties often, which kinda proves they don't care about your health.It's cheap though so there's that.

Very nice and clean gym. Only one issue with the "judgement free zone" policy. I am as boxing training with some friends. We weren't even physically fighting. Just hitting the flat mitts. A couple of girls said they felt they were in danger, and the staff made us stop. Doesn't sound very "judgement free" when people are forced to stop working out.

Planet fitness Denton is a lot better than most planet fitness gyms. It feels a lot more relaxed than other planet fotness locations. It is very clean and the staff is always helpful and polite. Cancelling my membership was even a simple process, unlike anytime fitness and some other gyms I've been to. All around great gym and would continue to be a member if I wasn't leaving.

I got my black card membership a day ago and love the experience already! I love that it is cheap, and mostly full of cardio equipment, which is what i am best at. PF gets a lot of bad rap for not being like other gyms, but it honestly is as long as you have the restraint to not give in to the pizza and bagels i hear they offer. A gym is a gym, and you cant beat cheap.

The environment at Planet Fitness is very inviting and comfortable. The staff is amazing and I never feel ashamed for asking for help on how to use the equipment. It's a great place to workout, regardless of what level one is at.

I've been a member for a year now and I have the black card membership so that I can bring in a guest and get other perks. It's definitely affordable but read the fine details in your contract. There is annual fee and like most gyms, it isn't advertise much. I will have to admit, if you want the simple necessities of the gym, this is the gym for you. I love that it is 24 hours. There are tons of cardio machines and free weights. They don't have squat racks but they have smith machines. The gym is also really clean. I feel like the staff is always cleaning and the only con to that is that It can get annoying/distracting when they clean and vacuum an inch away from you during your workout lol but I would rather see that, than no one cleaning at all. This gym isn't bad for paying half of what other gyms would normally charge you a month.
