I am really satisfied with my membership at $10 a month at no commitment which I got during a special. I never feel like there are too many people around because I’m able to accomplish my exercise goals every time I go in. They have quite an array of different equipment for cardio and weightlifting. And the establishment is quite large.I see the staff constantly cleaning and I find them to be a friendly bunch. I only wish I had joined sooner.

This is only after one time there for about 20 minutes, just on the elliptical, so take this with a grain of salt. It was also my first time working out at any PF location.I walked inside and was scanned in pretty quickly. I found my machine fast since the gym wasn't very full. Many signs said to stay masked up, so that's what I did except when I drank water. I noticed several other people not wearing masks while they were working out, though. That concerned me a bit. I wanted to take my mask off too, but I know for everyone's sake we weren't supposed to. Other than the masks not being as enforced as they should've been, according to the signs all around, my experience was fine.All the areas around the gym were clearly marked as expected. I'll likely go again, but I'll be very wary of everyone else around me since many weren't wearing masks while working out.

I enjoy my Planet Fitness facility. The staff are always friendly and knowledgeable, machines are fixed quickly, and the gym is always kept clean and neat. If anything, I would love if a sauna and steam room were put in for black card holders.

I really love the cleanliness of any Planet Fitness I've used, and the price of the Black Card membership because when traveling I can use any facility in NJ, Chapel Hill and Durham. The facility in Durham is HUGE and has a great floor plan with the equipment placed just right because you don't end up so close to the person beside you! The women's locker room is always very clean, smells good and nice size lockers. When I workout in the evening, the parking lot is well- lit & equipped with cameras for safety.I highly recommend a gym membership with Planet Fitness!

I love the place. It's convenient, great hours, great staff, LUV the massage chair and hydro massage. Clean and friendly environment. Great deal for the money - Lots of machines - no waiting! Pizza, bagels and tootsie rolls seem counter productive but to each their own! :)

Nice clean 24 hour gym with plenty of equipment. No waiting for treadmills! Mike is the gym manager and he is so nice, accommodating, and genuinely helpful. Mike not only made it super easy to start my membership, but it was equally as easy to cancel my membership. As soon as my doctor releases me to workout on my own again, I will reactivate my membership at this location. I can't speak highly enough of this gym.

I go to the Planet Fitness on MLK in Durham, NC. The facility is always so clean. There are lots of machines and plenty of variety of workouts. Also, the atmosphere is wonderful and judgment-free. People actually feel very comfortable working out there, at least I certainly do. I know my roommate feels the same way. The staff there are always SOOOOO friendly and helpful. I have never had a bad experience with someone who works there. They are pleasant and extremely respectful. I look forward to going there each day. It's definitely the kind of positive environment you want to be in to get healthy and blow off steam.

I am a black card carrier. Love it! Visited a fairly new location in Durham when traveling.Very nice Planet Fitness. The attendants were very nice. They had new equipment I hadn't seen at older Planet Fitness locations. It had been renovated from an old Walmart Marketplace store. Very clean - like new - not crowded.
