Updated review: unfortunately, after writing a glowing 5-star review for this place in the past, I decided to update it as a result of steady and continuous deteriorating conditions when it comes to maintenance and cleanliness/hygiene. In the last few months, cleanliness has become a serious issue here. In men's showers, for example, I hardly ever see the bathrooms and showers fresh and clean anymore. The toilets always stink. The shower curtains and other areas in the showers are full of mold, which is a health hazard. Some showers don't even have hangers or have broken shelves. I took it upon myself to bring this to several staff members and multiple times. Instead of thanking me and taking my comments seriously, I noticed a couple staff members actually displayed a very unfriendly attitude as if we customers have no right to ask for cleaner facilities. I have also recently heard from an insider that this branch has failed hygiene inspection, which speaks volumes. I won't be updating this review until I see serious changes when it comes to cleanliness/hygiene, which is the single most important criterion about any gym.

Been to about 40 different locations this year. This one has the worst staff I've experienced. Save yourself the aggravation and go to the next closest location

Staff member named Errol, especially works weekends nights, is EXTREMELY unprofessional and rude. I personally think this guy is suffering from some type of mental crisis. It’s absolutely PATHETIC to see reviews about him that are over a year old and the management still haven’t done anything about it.

My experience here has been terrible. The bathrooms smell terrible and are unclean. The employees are apathetic and rude. The membership was cheap but not worth it.

I love everything about my Planet Fitness on MLK Blvd. in Durham, NC. They do an awesome job keeping the gym, tanning beds, hydro beds and massage chairs clean and disinfected. The staff are always friendly and attentive. You cannot beat all the services they offer at the price they ask, a great trade/good deal!!

It's usually busy. The staff isn't attendant. However, for what it is, it's a nice gym. Just make sure you are not there when it's busy!

Love this facility. The staff here are very friendly and this facility is very clean and organized. All the loose hand held equipment and mates are in there respectable places.

This PF is above average. Gym floor is oversized and very spacious. Bathrooms are also better than most other planet fitness’s.

It's a good gym for someone new to the fitness world. The instructional videos through their app are helpful. They have plenty of cardio equipment. They do lack some of the more advanced equipment for serious lifting. Finding an open Smith Machine during peak hours is difficult. I haven't had any issues with cleanliness other than trash cans overflowing. I'm not a fan of all the rules.
