Planet fitness' business model relies on the "low energy" crowd. No personal training, no grunting, and the giant wall plastered "Lunk alarm" attempt make it an inclusive atmosphere, but most gyms are like this. With the exception of awful people, we all like seeing new people in the gym.No pool, no room for group activities, but everything else is good. I don't see this being a permanent gym, but for its price it's acceptable.

I go everyday to Fremont location. Needs help with noticing detail with cleaning locker rooms. Management staff are young. Need more training. Locker rooms should be cleaned more frequently. Floors are a mess. Shower get used a lot and are nasty at times. Staff say they 9nly clean once at night. NASTY..I HAVE COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES. Sanitation spray runs out employees should not have to be told to refill.

This place is solid especially for the price. I am not a cardio user, so I don't know about the treadmills etc. But the lifting machines, the weight set and the free body machines all feel brand new. If you are looking to put on some muscle mass or even tone-up this place is perfect.About 4 out of 5 members are super nice, friendly and courteous. Unfortunately if you come during the busy times, you will most likely have to deal with the 1 out of 5 who ruin it for everyone. There are people there who are extremely wasteful. What do I mean by that? Well, there are a limited number of machines and lots of folks wanting to use them. Some folks (1 out of 5) will not let you use "their" machine in between sets. In between sets they will sit on the machine and block anyone else from stepping in. That's just plane selfish and rude. Even worse, one day I saw a guy sitting in one of the machines. He was sitting for like five minutes watching something on his phone. So I walked up to him and kindly asked if it would be okay for me to step in while he was resting. He said "in five minutes, I watching the news"! The dude wasn't even working out. He was not even between sets. He was just using the machine to chill in the seat. So I thought to myself, what kind of perception would lead to this kind of behavior? It dawned on me that this individual probably feels that because he is paying $10 per month, he has the right to use any piece of equipment any way he wants. So if he wants to use a machine to sit in its tiny seat for ten minutes and watch You-Tube, he feels that is his right.But honestly 80% of the folks here are awesome and if you go off-hours you will enjoy the people and the equipment.A message for the staff - It would be awesome if you could put up a sign saying words to the effect of "Please be courteous and let others use the equipment while you are resting" because unfortunately not everyone is familiar with a culture of sharing, fairness and working together.Addendum 2019-04-15: Today it happened to me again. Someone was using one of the (bodyweight) machines and in between sets they would stand in front of the machine and lift dumbbells. I walked over and kindly asked if I could use the machine while they were doing the dumbbells. They said "I'm using it". I said "Why don't we alternate between sets?" They put up some attitude and reluctantly said "okay fine". After their second set on the machine i went in for my set and they refused to move out of the way and instead told me to go use another machine. Why? Because they did not want to move 20 inches to the side to let me use the machine. This person is paying $10 / month like the rest of us yet feels that PF is their home gym. They feel it is okay to lock up a machine for twenty minutes because it is their right. Like I said, not everyone comes from a culture of sharing, fairness and working together. PF could be twice as awesome if people learn to share and allow the community to use the machines efficiently. An idle machine is a complete waste.To the staff: All you have to do is put up a sign saying:"Planet Fitness tries to maintain a high-quality gym at low cost to our members. To keep this place alive and healthy, please share the equipment with your comrades. When you are resting in between sets, let someone else use the equipment."If you do not explicitly write this down the bottom 20% of the culture-ladder will not get it on their own.

Not packed in the mornings and love the 30 min circuit. I'm new to weights so it made me comfortable to explore more. They should put up a sign to let people know to wipe down the equipment not spray it down because they leave it wet.

Been working out here with family and friends for awhile. Very nice staff, helpful and economical for improving health. During renovation it was tough but after renovation ,it's been great. Even more so, my doctor approves of my progress from a temporary setback last year . The staff was helpful in guidance including the trainer. I was at 24 hrs fitness years ago. Their membership was not economical for family memberships. We're happy here so far. We would recommend PF.

4 stars instead of 5. Because they have janitorial cleaning the bathrooms. Takes them over an hour just to clean the mens. They won't let you in if you wanna shower and grab your stuff and leave. I always come from 11:30 pm - 2 am and I leave late because they take their sweet time cleaning. Other than that the gym is great!

Great place for work out and cheap. If you are really in to work out only and not other amenities i.e pool, racket ball etc this is the best place

Not too busy at the times I visit. No real frills but the equipment is good and there are enough machines/free weights. Would like to see a squat rack with an free bar but I know it's not their MO.

Planet Fitness what can I say if you're just starting out working out it's a good place to start to see if you want to stick with it no sense getting into an expensive contract if you're not sure if you can give the attention your workout needs the place basically sucks the staff basically sucks and now they're doing a remodeling so the showers don't work you have to shower Outback in some tiny little dirty trailer which they don't even clean what can I say 1-star isn't low enough they should go into negative digits or negative Stars
