This branch is giving illegal medical advice and practicing medicine without a license in direct violation of state law, planet fitness policy and WHO recommendations.They are literally forcing customers to wear masks WHILE running. I actually went to medical school and can tell you that this could lead to acidosis. Someone will eventually pass out and get injured or die because of the staff’s personal policy.This is what happens when the most ignorant people among us are the ones trying to make the rules.World Health Organization (WHO)“Can people wear masks while exercising during COVID-19? People should NOT wear masks when exercising as masks may reduce the ability to breathe comfortably.”Planet Fitness Policy“No, members and guests are NOT required to wear a mask while actively working out but must follow all local restrictions. But remember, members and guests must have a mask unless they are actively working out (and in accordance with all local restrictions) such as when individuals are entering and exiting the facility, cleaning equipment, and while walking on the gym floor between exercises.”Mass.gov“Require face coverings for all workers and visitors, except where unsafe due to medical condition or disability, or when engaging in strenuous fitness activity”.I also called the police and they said they will not come, enforce or side with the staff on this issue if they are called.Staff can ask you to leave and/or cancel your membership, at which point you have damages you can sue for. This will turn into a class action lawsuit. But you DO NOT have to accept what they say are fact. Challenge them.

I have never been to any PF gym before. When I was looking for a local gym, I was scared by the general negative online reviews about PF, worrying that it might not be hardcore enough. However, when I visited there, I was impressed by its cleanness and completeness. It has equipments for exercising all parts. People at different levels all work out there. So I signed up and have been happy about my decision so far. I think it's an excellent choice for your daily workout need.

Decent cardio gym for the $$$, this is on the small side compared to other planet fitness ....they only have dumbells for free weights.

Always clean, always friendly staff, and they keep the machines in good working order. I go to this branch even though I have one within a minute of my house.
