| - Planet Fitness is a solid gym. I had/have a few issues and suggestions that I wish were better but overall this place is pretty sweet.
1) When I first signed on I asked the employee if he personally worked out here and if he recommended it. He flat out told me, he works out at Lifetime Fitness and has only used the PF facility a few times. Um, okay.
2) It's $10/month to join but they did try to charge me $20 for a 1 day pass to try it out. (Because that makes sense)
3) The men's restroom/locker room only has 2 stalls. For a good sized gym, you have to wait to use the restroom if the gym is busy? It's a major design flaw.
4) I wish there were 3-5 additional adjustable benches near the dumbbell area.
5) During busy hours, the gym smells like feet. Reminds me of my high school locker room.
Now on to the positives:
This gym is super clean! I can't speak for during the day, but at night the cleaning crew is working hard and the place is spotless. However, the men's restroom floor is never swept.
Planet Fitness really does everything right. Their "no intimidation" motto turns off the meatheads and grunters. There's none of that here which I love! The employees are nice and not pushy. Without the black card membership, the $10/month is amazing! If you go 3-4 times a week, you are paying less than a dollar per visit. Can't beat that. They also have a good selection of equipment and a ton of cardio machines.
There are no hidden fees or troubles with billing that I've run into. They are up front about what to expect. $10/month, no commitment. $20/month (black card) with a 1 year commitment. Black card includes perks such as tanning, massage beds, you can use any PF location in the United States and you can bring 1 guest with you each time you go for free. That's an amazing deal. I personally have the $10/month. The gym is also open 24/7 which took the cake over the LA Fitness near my house that closes in the evening. I can go after work late at night and the place is dead! Perfect!
I love Planet Fitness thus far and I would recommend this gym to anyone looking for a nice, clean, stress free place to work out.
