Planet Fitness

Great place to work out!! Friendly staff. If you get the black card you can use the hydromassage, chair massage and tanning as well as the total body workout. I feel like a new person every time I walk out of this place

Missing some equipment compared to some more serious gyms, but that's really the point of Planet Fitness. It's intending to be the opposite of bodybuilding type gyms.There are multiple options for each muscle group, from dedicated isolation machines, to free weights on a sliding rack, to dumbbells. There are lots of different cardio options, and plenty of them, so there shouldn't be a wait.For those who use the gum religiously, $10/mo is a steal. If your usage is more spotty, with weeks or months off sometimes, it's so inexpensive, it's hardly worth freezing your membership.For an extra $10/mo, you can get a "black" membership, and use it at any PF location in the country, which is great for business travelers. You also get to bring guests for free, including your kids 14+ (some stipulations), use of the massage beds/chairs, tanning beds (aren't they still unhealthy?), etc.The staff in Reading are always friendly, and they're constantly cleaning. It's a great fitness club for the casual to moderate workouts for all ages.

Great gym, nice new and clean equipment, BUT I signed up FEBRUARY 28th for $45 down, theirs a deal that started MARCH 1st for $5 down, the lady who signed me up is named Gina she didn't have the common courtesy to tell me that a deal starts THE NEXT DAY, im not a complainer but I think she should've mentioned the deal to me, I feel like I've been taken advantage of, I bet she gets commission for that, I'm a 19 year old kid who has bills to pay and doesn't have the highest paying job I find it very rude that she didn't think to mention the deal to me. I would've been very glad to wait ONE day to sign up and save $40. Very disappointed and kind of shocked that she couldn't be a good person, a good employee and think of other people. I cannot wait to see her working again so I can let her know how I feel. I am disgusted.

Great place to work-out at your own pace

This is a clean gym with good equipment, it's a shame the staff has gone downhill in the past several months, especially the evening staff.

Hi Will, I was the 57th person to join your club and have been very committed to going. At first and for quite some time I admired how clean your team kept up the place but I think with the shifting of personnel you need to reestablish a few policies. Every morning I have to run around and collect weights and bring them back to the bench area. I find most of the weights in the stretching room. It is a full blown pain in the ass and you have lost 14 people because of this issue. Buy a purple 4 wheel wagon and mandate that your evening personnel put the racks back together or buy enough weights so that moving the weights is not noticed as much. So you are wondering how I know 14 people recently left your club? Golds Gym just opened up where the Reading Athletic club was and when I went there on their Grand Opening there were the 14 people I see often working out at PF. When I asked them why they were at Gold's most said they were tired of chasing down weights to workout. A few others said for the short bump in cost they got Cycle Studio and workout classes. I will keep my PF membership for convenience purposes. Don't lose anymore folks over a simple fix to this issue. Also I do not know if your franchise agreement allows you to change layouts but if you could consider moving the Abs room to the Stretching room and make the ABS room a Cycle Class room. It would be a huge win!! Mike

I love Planet Fitness..it has just what I need (equipment for a good price). They even have pizza the first Monday of every month, which kind of defeats the purpose of working out..but I love pizza so I don't care. The only negatives for me are that they close early on the weekends (it'd be great if they had longer hours, or even 24/7) and that they waste a lot of paper towels.

I love this gym, it's always clean and the staff is always friendly. I really really do wish the owner would consider putting in a couple of stair masters like the Woburn location did. I go to the Woburn location to use the stair masters and it's just dark and depressing in there and there bathrooms are horrible. It would make it the perfect gym if it had a couple of stair masters! Please and thank you!

Staff is friendly, but seems to always be loitering around the desk, sitting on counters and leaning on things. There is never an issue with overcrowding and the location is maintained very well.

This Planet Fitness is by far the nicest I've been to out of the many PFs I've frequented in my time as a customer.The area is spacious and maintained very well. There is just about every type of equipment a PF could have, which means all of the cardio machines, weights, and weight machines you need. The staff has always been very helpful and understanding, and it's never too crowded.Two big thumbs up, would run in place here again.
