Planet Fitness

I worked out a Planet Fitness prior to a tripled bypass Heart Surgery and people, friends and coworkers when I first tell them about my experience, cannot believe I had such an experience.

The place is alright. Women, be aware there is a regular male here who is African American, 5’2, scrawny built, typically working out in jeans with a “supreme” beanie and drives a black Mercedes that walks around all the weight areas giving unsolicited lifting advice to anyone that’ll listen and stares at you until you give him attention. If you tell him you’re not interested in his advice he’ll call you out of your name in the gym & parking lot. I let the front desk know and they said they’ve had continuously received complaints about him but didn’t say if they would do anything about it. Just be aware of this creep.

Planet Fitness is clean, friendly, and offers a variety of ways to exercise and stay in shape.I had a knee replacement on November 22 and PF became my Physical Therapy studio. I started coming 5-6 days a week, and I am recovering at an amazing rate. PF has all the equipment my Physical Therapist uses and then much more.I've lost 6 pounds, improved my arthritis, and my knee is doing great. The location is convenient, parking is usually good, and I feel safe.All in all, PF has been a welcomed place for coming out of the pandemic and getting back into living healthy once again.Oh, and you can't beat the price!

The gym is clean for the most part. Really crowded at times. Most people wipe down the machines after use.

Everything about this gym sucks. Equipment to staff. It’s super small so if you want little to no equipment options come here. Def not a place to do legs only cardio and abs. Oh you just also be extremely quiet when working out as you might disturb or scare the staff. They call it the “lunk alarm”.Also, you can’t jump rope according to staff as you aren’t allowed to bring in your own equipment. Well why not provide it then?Better off paying more and going to 24 hr fitness.Update:I came 9 months ago, came back a few times recently and I’m still unimpressed with staff.There is a young latin manager, she’s rude/angry, always, you know who she is because she always has a mean face on. She chased me down angrily because I forgot to key in (let’s all remember it’s a $5 membership not equinox) and today she decided it was a great time to have her staff move all machines around to deep clean, during peak rush hour. Not only did I have to fight people but also my allergies as alllll the equipment that was moved had a huge accumulation of dust bunnies. She couldn’t have waited for a better time to clean? I’m really trying. You guys need to really train your staff properly.

This gym is usually clean, and I love the layout. The only downside is that staff members are too lax and are letting almost anyone into the gym. My locker was broken into by a non-member who was let in by staff. My stuff was stolen, and there were no proactive follow-ups regarding my case. I gathered evidence and took them to small claims court. We did not go to trial after agreeing on a settlement. If something similar happens to you, please take them to court.Funny enough, the regional manager who joined me in court mentioned that they "encourage members not to use the lockers." Then why have it in the first place? 😂

I had my things stolen twice here. Cameras are everywhere, but stuff is not willing to check them.

This is gym has a very attentive staff. Cleaning supplies are always restocked, bathrooms are clean and equipment is clean. You get what you put in. You don't need a big fancy gym that overcharges you. Now if we can only get some of the customers to stop using their phones and work out more...Alas, I work out around them.

They went outside as I’m getting ready to come in and started taking pictures of my truck then I come in and I asked them what was the reason for them taking pictures of my vehicle and the girl got agitated and started yelling at me. I walked off and she started bad mouthing me as I’m walking away and I turned around and ask her what she said and it turned into an argument. Next thing you know I’m upset and nothings getting resolved and I don’t have any answers for why they’re taking pictures of me in my vehicle it was a really bad experience. I’ve never been to this planet fitness before but I felt so uncomfortable to even work out at this gym. Two of them started tag teaming I said I’m gonna start recording them then their attitude changed they were getting ready to kick me out for no reason. This is one of the most filthiest planet fitness is I’ve ever been to here are some pictures. This is the name of the girl who is yelling at me. This is at 4055 MacArthur Oakland California. By the way the people at the front desk blamed the manager for taking the pictures and the manager wasn’t there.

There are a variety of machines and equipment to use and have a great workout each time! I also appreciate that the facility is typically clean. The membership fee is unbeatable!
