I am here at least four days out of the week. I absolutely love it. I have to go on different shifts because of my work schedule and all the staff are friendly and informative

Facility is very clean. staff is friendly. This isn't the kind of gym you have to lose weight and go full makeup to fit in. Come as you are. truly a no judgement atmosphere.

The place is nice enough, and the staff is friendly, but unless you're just going for the cardio, this facility seemed more suited for physical rehabilitation than serious exercise. Moreover, there are significant disadvantages to being in a "judgement-free zone" when you're doing something that, done incorrectly, can cause serious injury. Signing up here would be like picking a doctor because he doesn't nag you to stop smoking.The location has no squat racks, no deadlift station, and no bench press racks. They don't actually have any adjustable-weight barbells at all. When I was touring the location, I asked the trainer, who was clearly in good shape, how he managed an effective resistance training program here, and he told me that he works out somewhere else (where they do have the items mentioned previously).While there, I noticed that most of the people using the machines, dumbbells, and even the cardio equipment were interacting with them in ways that increased their risk of injury. One fellow on a treadmill was having a heated discussion on his cell phone while walking at an incline and speed that was clearly beyond his ability (to do with good form). I'm shocked he didn't fall off.Despite the low cost, I'd personally recommend looking elsewhere.

Great PF location! Lively but not crazy busy all the time. Great updated equipment. Very clean locker rooms. Friendly and helpful staff that are personable.

Nice atmosphere, rules pleasantly enforced, great experience working with Amber, the GM. Staff turns over pretty quickly, but is always pleasant, friendly and helpful. Members are good about courteously wiping down equipment.

I loved how planet fitness was a gym I could go to that I could feel comfortable, was close to home, and was a good price. I went almost every morning with my girlfriend and we enjoyed ourselves greatly. Today I decided I'm never going back to planet fitness again though. I understand the policy and rules so I always try my best to be as respectful and quiet as possible while obeying all gym rules such as never grunting, wearing boots or jeans, slamming weights and I always wipe down my equipment. But one day I was bench pressing and all I did was gently position the bar back in the rack a trainer yelled across the room word for word "God damnit stop slamming the weights!!" Okay everyone has a bad day I understand and after denying he said anything when I confronted him about it, I still apologized because I want to be polite. He came up later and he did apologize when no other gym members where around to hear him. But today I was slowly putting my dumbbell weights to the floor and I lost my grip on one less than an inch from the floor. Instantly a women came over and said " we can all hear you from the front of the counter so you have to stop slamming weights." I don't get it I hate to bring the race card into it as I am Asian but maybe they don't like me for that? Anyways long post but this place sucks. The gym staff are odd. Except Tyler he's always been cool
