I go here with my friend out with him in this pretty small but comfy gym and I love the no judgement zone here. A really good place for you too come and work out for a cheap price.

Great assortment of gym equipment. Management keeps up with the maintenance. Clean environment. Must come early though. Nights are very crowded.

This planet fitness is nice but the manager there is unbearable. Their ID policy for guests is BS. They require minors to have an ID, what 14yr old has an ID? My son is home schooled through the k12 program, his student ID is online and they wouldn't accept that, only a passport or state ID if he doesn't have a student ID. When I had LA Fitness i was never asked for a guest to produce an ID, I didn't even have to give them my ID to sign up for my membership at Planet Fitness but my 14yr old son has to have one to enter as a guest? No exceptions? Dumb policy. I was embarrassed and left. Will be cancelling my membership. My son was treated like an illegal alien by a gym manager, not worth it. Good bye Planet Fitness, I'll be going back to LA Fitness.

I have been going to this gym now for a few months. I have tried to come in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. On several occasions, after walking in, handing my card to the front desk person that doesn't say a word to me, I have turned right back around and left since there is not ONE machine, mat, dumbbell etc that is free to use. If you come here, between the hours of 5pm thru 10pm, you will have little to no access to any of the equipment your workout requires for that day. If you can, and you come in the mornings, plenty of cardio machines are available but no weights or resistance machines. So far, the best time is around 2 or 3 or on the weekends. It's truly frustrating to be paying for a gym that I cannot have access to any time of day as advertised... and then add to it that the staff doesn't walk the floor to make sure other members are freeing up machines- lots of people sit on the machines to text and frankly therr are usually 3 ppl ag the front chatting with each other, i think one of them could walk the floor. Also, the paper dispensers and water fountain tend be habitually broken. I agree with other members, gym is clean, but it has that pungent gym sweat smell that could go away if they had windows that open.Overall, it's a sad two stars for rude, apathetic staff, and overly crowded gym.

Staff are awesome and I haven't seen many people just sitting around the machines which is awesomer. Small gym feels very cramped in peak hours

Workers are friendly and they have a variety of machines to get the best workout one can possibly get. I would give it 5 stars but the only problem is when it gets crowded

It was a good gym the time I was here however when I had to cancel my membership they continued to keep charging me even though the statement I got said I had to pay nothing at that time or in the future. What's worse is the number doesn't work or there's nobody working there because they don't answer calls. I am completely disappointed that it wasn't a good establishment.

The place is always clean, the staff is always friendly, the patrons are considerate, the equipment is quickly repaired, big parking lot with security. No complaints. Location is being run perfectly.

The machines and premises are great but the girls are EXTREMELY RUDE! I honestly feel so unwelcomed, when I signed up I wanted to ask about the machines and all the good stuff they had and they made me feel stupid like if it was common sense and I was bothering them, Im gonna be cancelling my membership this month dont feel like seeing theyre rude stare any longer.
