Planet Fitness

Pros: Probably the most economical gym in town. I'm coming from a place of having abandoned my athleticism to history & can't really get a full value from a more serious-gym with serious-fee. I managed to get in during a $10 monthly, single location, promotion (comes to about 13.50/mo annually) which is an absolute deal. The staff does make rounds to keep the place clean and wipe down headrests which is more than can be said for many establishments. It's open 24-hrs. Allows use of massage chairs & tanning (hydrotherapy machine i think?) for the $30 monthly which is still low.Cons: Severely limited free-weights. Way too much floor-space dedicated to cardio machines. Minimal staff & minimal classes/instruction if you're into that.Other thoughts: Let's get this out in front - cardio is overrated. Planet Fitness has plastered themselves with the motto, "Judgement free zone" & "No gymtimidation." Fine - whatever, if that marketing works for you; but it has translated into an operational philosophy that has dedicated the majority of their floor-space to treadmills & elliptical machines and completely minimized the amount of scary free-weights because, I guess, they're too gymtimidating.The target audience is primarily a weight-loss crowd & the fact is that those individuals would be far better served by one, weekly, 30 minute high intensity weight routine, than trying to put an hour on the treadmill most of the days of the week. Muscle growth raises the resting metabolic rate, that's where the real calorie burning adds up - the treadmill "burn" calculators are just the gamification of an estimate to make users think they're accomplishing something.Now, whether or not you agree that most cardio is mostly a waste of time for maximizing your benefit from time spent in a gym; after 5 weeks of attendance I've never seen more than half the cardio machines in use while all the free weight benches & Smith-cages develop waits. Even with the gym & membership slant towards cardio-grind; the cardio machines are never more than half occupied and the free-weight sections develop traffic jams.I'd give Planet Fitness 5 stars if it cut the cardio machines by 40%, rearranged the cable lifting machines to take up less space, and doubled the free-weight area & gave members some barbell cages where the barbells had free range of motion (weren't on vertical rails). But, alas, perhaps that would attract "lunks" (PF has anti-"lunk" propaganda).the Bottom Line: Planet Fitness is a good deal if you need a place to start. If you've been weight training continuously for roughly 1+ years you probably will be better suited to a different gym.

It is best gym I go to I like it because it's very clean and quiet

My two favorite things: They are 24 hours every day of the week, and their most expensive membership option is still less expensive than a standard membership at most other gyms. This includes benefits that other gyms don't offer, like being able to bring a friend with me for free unlimited times and tanning. I was a member at GB3 and canceled because their only "24" gym wasn't 24 hours every day of the week. I need to be able to go to the gym during odd hours and PF offers that and everything else that I want/need for a workout, plus luxuries that no other gyms can offer.

This Planet Fitness is always clean, and the staff is friendly. When I go, it is usually pretty empty with a lot of machines open, but I do go late at night like at 10 pm so I don't know how full it is during the day.

This gym is so clean. I legit sorta feel bad for the employees because it seems like they're always cleaning and at other gyms they just kick back behind a counter talking or zoning out on their cell phone. This place is nonstop being cleaned in one way or another. The equipment is also more modern than the "other" affordable gym in town. They cater more to privacy in the locker rooms than other gyms I've been to as well. It's a very good place to work out and not feel like you're being judged. If you're looking for free weights, this place isn't for you. It seems less focused on body building here and more a place to get into(or back into) shape.

Great place place to work out. Staff is awesome, especially Azel, (probably spelled her name wrong). Never too crowded except from time to time in the free weight area. They are somewhat limited on their weight machines but I have worked with less. It’s all about you and what you put in.A few of the machines are in need of servicing. Particularly one of the smith machines needs alignment. Other than that $10 a month and spend as much of as little time as you want. They have locker room facilities with showers.What I like about this place the most is you can come and do what you need to do. Some people never worked out before and that’s fine. I ran into this at other gyms where they pressure you into getting the platinum package with one or two sessions with a personal trainer and if you want to continue with them it’s another nominal fee. I’m ex military. I know what I need to do. This place has given me the facility to do it. Thanks for letting me rock it.

This place is kept quite clean and the staff are nice. Most of the clientele are fat and old people pretending to work out or using machines improperly (doing ego lifts and locking joints). At least most of the visitors just use the cardio machines and stay out of the way of people who actually want to improve. The free weights don't go very high for liability reasons (no more than 60lbs) and there are no squat racks or barbells you can load with weights, just Smith machines with the bar at an unhelpful angle. I've enjoyed coming here as a beginner, but probably need to move on to a serious gym.

They allow guests, which is a pro and a con at the same time. Pro if you are a guest and are dedicated to working out while at the gym. Con if you want to use a machine but it's got someone's "guest" just hanging out on it. Otherwise 5/5!

I feel comfortable working out here... I really like the 30 min workout room, just wish they monitored it like they're supposed to to minimize people just jumping in and getting on machines they could find outside the room. Other than that.. Thumbs up from us.

I have never been to a more worthless place. First time at a planet fitness. Just moved to the area. Stupid girl at the counter wouldnt give me a tour. Asked if i could check it out myself then. Told me it would be $20 for a day pass...told her i guess i will try a different gym. She said olk and walked off. I will never go to a planet fitness again!
