Friendly, easy going gym in classic Planet Fitness style. It’s never busy when I go between 10am and 3pm. There’s always weight machine and cardio equipment available. Go and get your workout on!

Damn! This gym definitely gets 10 out of 5 stars, not only for the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness of the gym equipment and the uber relaxing massage beds, but also the hella hotness of the clientele, men and women! Hubba hubba sign me up for a lifetime membership asap Kassie! 😂😋 Lollol …

This place is pretty nice for the most part, the equipment is well maintained and the staff are nice. However the parking lot could be better if they cleaned it up a bit as there are bits of shattered glass in certain spaces.

9 out of 10 staff members are very personable helpful and understanding of course there is always that one that's extremely rude and disrespectful young lady avoided me when I was asking a basic question about using the massage chair was talking to herself and using profane language a young man came over her shoulder apologize to me for her and assisted me with what I needed I explained if she doesn't feel up to dealing with people at a customer service job she should have a quitter go home young lady about 5 ft 2 light brown skin hair pulled back in a ponytail usually never says anything to you when you come to the door every other staff member has been exemplary

No business should make it this hard to cancel your membership. Don't sign up, it's a trap!Update: Went in today to cancel and the "friendly" online response was nowhere to be found in person.Here's the bottom line. You can sign up online, but you can't cancel online. You can't even cancel by phone. They tell you can either come in or send a letter if you've moved like I have, but I sent two letters and they claimed both most have been "lost in the mail." So even if you've moved you have to come in person. And then they'll still give a hard time, no acknowledgment what soever of the difficulties they put in your way to let you keep your own money. There are so many more better places to go workout!

Edit: 6mo later, no changes. People just camp out with their whole lives at weight racks, gathering all the equipment in the gym like hoarders.Meh. It's a typical gym. All the hidden fees and difficulty in cancellations of any other.There are a lot of choices of equipment but very limited free weights so there will be bottlenecks for barbell or full bar workouts. I've seen broken equipment get fixed within 2 days so they're on that.The employees are... Varied in care/skill level. When I signed up, no one seemed to know what was going on and seemed shocked I wanted a tour. Most of the process was done on my phone though so difficulty was minimal. Maybe just Covid woes.

After going to this gym for the past year almost every day, I've finally decided to write a review.This Planet Fitness gym has been great to workout at for the past year. The staff; Jeff, Romello, Gabby, and the other staff at the front desk are always welcoming, pleasant, and supportive. Even when they are out on the floor, they're always willing to answer any question I might have. I've gone mostly during the day on my lunch breaks and I always see a staff member or multiple staff members cleaning and organizing the equipment/facility. Other Planet Fitness members do the same in regards to wiping down the equipment before and after their usage. At least most do. Some of the members that I've met at the gym have been friendly which makes for working out here very comfortable for me. I really like this Planet Fitness gym and will plan to continue working out here for some time to come.

Read this if you don’t want to pay this club for the rest of your life. Go to 24 hour fitness or anything else if you want to save your money.This club will make sure to steal your money. They are stealing my money for a year already. I moved to NY last year and called them asking to cancel my membership. They gave me their email saying that I can’t cancel by phone only by email. I emailed them but they kept on billing me. I called again, they said that I can’t cancel by email now only by mail. I mailed them, they kept on billing me. I also asked to send me a copy of a contract, they promised but never did. I asked my bank to stop their charges because I don’t use their service and they don’t want to cancel. Bank stopped charges from checking account but they figured the way how charge my card l, not an account. I am putting together evidence to sue them. And I really recommend not to deal with these fraudsters. They were billing people even during pandemic when the club was closed.

Pros:Good amount of equipmentEverything is cleanCalm environmentCons:No power racksSome people giving bad advices(Saying this from experience)A lot of cardio machines than weight lifting machinesNo turf areaNo punching bagI personally, prefer to go to Fitness 19. It has more weight lifting machines, it has power racks, good amount of equipment, has a turf area, has a punching bag, helpful people with good advices. It's a whole different gym vibe (which I like).But, not all gyms are perfect. Fitness 19 gets crowded at certain times unlike Planet Fitness
