I had a good experience here, but the free weights were always tied up so id always have to change up my routine. It's a good gym for the cheap monthly price. The facility was pretty clean and the staff were helpful. Members also did a good job keeping the equipment clean.

Ive always been able to get a machine when I want one, but people can be rude AF there, especially when it comes to the circuit workout area, where you're supposed to move constantly at intervals. People just kind of park on machines and don't care, and management doesn't do anything to enforce its own rules about it.

I find this gym not only to be the dirtiest gym I have ever been to but the staff seems to be totally uninterested in cleaning the gym. I believe it is a two part problem. The women that go there are obviously dirty. They throw toilet paper on the floor after they have used it toilet shields are thrown on the floor the little dispenser in the stalls that are for used tampons are always overflowing. Personal used dental floss sticks are left on the sink counters. These problems are created by their customers however they know their customers are not clean and tidy, so because clean is good for all and it's good business their staff should take the extra time and clean as much as necessary. They have the staff to do this but the staff spends most of their time socializing with one another. The staff has no work ethics. They are nice but they could care less about working in a dirty gym.

Seeing as I travel alot, planet fitness is a good fit. However, this location is by far the most nastiest place I've EVER been to. As a professional, it's an embarrassment to have such a wonderful business and sorry employees. This is the 2nd time I've came to work out and there's 3 plus employees behind the counter and the women's changing facility isn't up to par. It makes no sense to me as a owner to pay all this money for rent and have a half sorry staff. The profit could be doubled here If someone cared. Equipment is pretty standard, like most, but the cleaness is disgusting! Take more pride in your establishment owners!

The blow dryer in the women's locker has been down since April. I've talked to 8 different staff members whose response are they will let their manager know. I later find out the staff removed the one and only functioning blow dryer and leave the one that's not working here. Seriously how unprofessional can you be?Did you guys not check the hair dryer before you removed it?I know other members have complained.Please get this fixed by the end of the month. Please remove the nonfunctioning hair dryer and replace it. Please replace the one that was working!!!!

Always machines available, friendly staff, and mostly welcoming environment. Drawbacks may be that dumbbells and stretching area can get congested at time. And yeah, parking lot could be cleaner...Overall– bargain deal, nice location and happy customer.

It gets busy after work hours but there is at least one machine left for you to work out on while the crowd dwindles down into the evening. Casual setting. Moderately clean almost all of the time. Not much to complain about.

A very clean and welcoming atmosphere to work out in! Every staff member I've interacted with has been very warm and helpful. It does get very busy at this gym but it's because the rates are excellent and equipment is legit.

Affordable, clean, good machines, not a meat market. Get your workout in without being hassled or annoyed. Staff is constantly cleaning & maintaining equipment, which is a vast improvement from my previous gym. It can get crowded at peak times, which can make it harder to find space to stretch or work out in a corner, but if you can time your workout, you'll be fine.

This gym is my favorite! Everything is always clean, and the guy who signed me up was kind. However, there is one female worker in the morning on weekdays that is selective about who she greets. And once, when I asked to sign up for a massage bed, she rolled her eyes at me. Other than this worker, everything about this place is great.
