Planet Fitness in Walnut Creek provides a welcoming environment for beginners and casual gym-goers. The location at 1697 Mt Diablo Blvd is well-kept, with clean and sanitized equipment and friendly staff who are eager to assist. While the facility boasts a good range of equipment and specializes in cardio, some users note the uneven ratio of cardio machines to weightlifting equipment.

The new Walnut Creek location is a welcome addition to the downtown area. There are friendly staff and patrons.

Awesome staff, clean & working equipment, but small size and difficult parking combines to drop it to four stars.

Nice people on the desk. Basic but clean and well cared for weight machines. Good vibe from those working out.

This is a nice facility but the squat racks are all crooked. They’re facing the mirror so you’re looking at yourself but you’re slightly turned to the side… they should all be straight. The staff also doesn’t enforce the no bags rule or re-racking weights. Plenty of people leave their weights everywhere.

Good stuff and only $10/month? Of course yes!

great gym, good air conditioning and clean place. It should be 24 hours a day like Concord and other branches. On the weekend they close at 7pm too early

The Walnut Creek Planet Fitness is new and clean. Plenty of machines and (so far) not too crowded. Most customers wipe down their machines after they use them (unlike 24 Hour) and an attendant is also wiping down machines. 🎉That said, I did manage to get a fierce cold from there (a common risk at any gym) so I've reverted to masking and keeping my hands clean and gloved. Call me wimpy. I can take it. I prefer that any day to getting sick. 😋There is a huge bank of large TVs (about 12?) that are viewable from the treadmills and ellipticals, clearly marked with their stations. They include: ABC, NBC, Fox "News", HGTV, CNN, but no MSNBC (alas). Because they are assigned I don't think they change them on request, unlike 24 Hour.The staff is friendly. There are free mini-Tootsie Rolls at the front desk too. 🍬The locker room is clean. The lockers are very shallow so don't bring a big workout bag. I have to really stuff my regular 20" workout bag into the locker to get it to fit. 😮‍💨 There are only two benches for changing. 🙁Parking is easy during the week but you may have to park upstairs on the weekends. There is a three hour limit on parking which is more than I need to wear myself out. 🥵
