Planet Fitness

Visited this location for the first time today and let me say this is the biggest Planet Fitness that I have seen in the area. Especially today, it was empty haha. Great customer service and greeting when I first walked in, and I was ready to work out! Will definitely be visiting this location again soon!

I always feel comfortable working out here, never anyone that makes me feel judged. Nice staff and price is pretty good! Wish they were open more on weekends however but I understand that the workers probably have lives as well haha

The space is huge, a lot of equipment (most of them you'll have multiples) plus they have a free weight leg press - bit of a rarity among PFs. The usually very friendly staff you can expect from PF and a good mix of crowd. Space is so large even during the busy hour it doesn't feel cramped.

Always nice to work out here. Even when busy you don't feel crowded. Staff is always nice and the store manager is always willing to work with you whenever there is an issue with your account or billing. I hadn't even started my membership but the staff called him and he allowed me to work out anyways since there was an issue that would require him to resolve. All around a very comfortable place to go!

I like Planet Fitness and feel comfortable working out here. It does get crowded after 5 but most gyms do anyways. I think the best time to go is in the morning. It is affordable and has nice equipment.

I highly recommend this Gym. The crew behind the front desk are making it happen.Having managed a climbing gym for four years, the folks that greet you as you walk in the door set the tone for your workout. Kudos to the Bristol PF morning crew, Joe and Amber for that 'Hi Mike' each and every morning.

This is a pretty descent gym, environment is clean, the equipment is fairly new and the staff is very friendly.

This is the WORST gym- not because of its obnoxious colors but because they're theives. I walked in wanting to sign up in July but didn't have my debit card. I was assured no action would be taken until I returned to provide my debit card information. The manager had me fill out and sign the entire application (which was stupid on my part- I thought she would actually be an honest person). I had previously been a memeber in the Charleston, SC location and cancelled when I moved here. I never returned to the Bristol location because I changed my mind and didn't want to work out there. Mysteriously my debit card was charged... but I never gave them the number. Pulling my card information without me bringing it in to actually authorize it is called fraud and is illegal. This is worst gym ever and I truly hope they close down. The best part is my bank wasn't even surprised- my rep told me "Yea, Planet Fitness does this a lot but we'll take care of it for you. We side with our customers."

In terms of quality and equipment, this gym was sufficient. The interior was probably too colorful and clearly catered to the lowest denominator in terms of fitness, but as that was part of their mission I cannot fault them on this. There was no "reverse discrimination" or lunk alarm business as listed in some other Planet Fitness reviews, but their business practices were/are certainly shady. Stay away from these guys.I moved from upstate New York to Connecticut for an internship and immediately signed up for a monthly membership at Planet Fitness since it was the closest gym to where I lived. I had no problems while I went there. In October of 2011, I was preparing to move back to Rochester, NY so I went to the gym and verbally told the manager to cancel my membership, which he agreed to. I have recently (January 2013) found out that they NEVER STOPPED CHARGING ME, and after multiple phone calls refuse to without meeting in person or receiving a signed letter.This is, again, after cancelling in person and receiving verbal confirmation of that. In other words, I have already performed the action stipulated by them. They continue to refuse to cancel my membership or refund the 15 months of membership fees they have charged since I cancelled.

The Planet Fitness in Bristol is easily one of the best gyms that I've been to. Here's just a few of the reasons why:1. EquipmentThe quality and quantity of the equipment here is fantastic. The machines are all modern, easy to use and adjust, work well, and are always clean. There are at least two of every type of weight lifting machine, so one never has to wait long to train with the machine of their choice.2. AtmosphereI was skeptical of PF's claim to be the "Judgement Free Zone," at first, but after going there for a few weeks, I can see that they mean it. The gym isn't frequented by bodybuilders or people with a "holier-than-thou" attitude that make those of us who are out of shape feel uncomfortable. In addition, the staff is very friendly, and greets every person who comes in with a smile.3. PriceWho can argue with only $10 / month for a gym membership? And $20 / month gets you half price drinks and access to any PF location in the country. Totally worth the price.
