Closes at random times throughout the day/week but still says “open on line/on facebook”. Wont answer phones if you call before making the drive.

Lovely gym with exercise equipments of all sort. Hours are great and its never too busy where one has to wait for his turn to use an exercise machine.

Very crowded place most of the time. During rush hours, no one cleans anything. No paper to clean equipment throughout the floor, no one doing anything about. Gym goers often mean because in the crowd they often lose respect to fellow gym goers.

Why isnt 75% of gym members wearing their masks? Very poor monitoring of the Covid outbreaks. Very dangerous, people are breathing and sweating all over each other. I expect better from PF, other locations are much more diligent in preventing outbreaks. Wear your mask,please!

I've been a member of three PF's and this is a very good one. Great staff, and like your typical PF it has an immense amount of machines, so never a problem getting one. Good free weights and men's locker room. My only wish or improvement is to update the cable TV offerings so you can show Bruins, Patriots, Celtics, and Red Sox games. You would see a HUGE boost in your activity profiles.

For the price you can't do better! This location is extremely clean and the staff are very friendly. Had to wait for stairmaster a few times but not a big deal. In general planet fitness lacks some amenities (towels, sauna) that gyms like bsc gym has but it's 10x cleaner than any bsc

clean and very accessible hours. Would be great if there was a real squat/bench rack but what are you gonna do. Staff is friendly. Only real complaint is that the showers suck; they take forever to warm up and then frequently go cold again. More than happy to deal with it, though, given that its 10 bucks a month.

Surprisingly decent size based on the looks from the outside. Staff is also way friendlier than my "home" PF.

It's just planet fitness. No more, no less. It's open almost 24/7 though, which is a really nice perk for me that many of their locations lack.
