Ugh. It's ok. Asi Asi. I left planet fitness and came here because they have classes and a child care center. This is gonna be a long one.
I guess my not so over the top experience with this club started because I enrolled over the phone. Completely my fault.
Issue 1: Staff is not readily available.
My first day, I was lost and confused. I tried to get a tour everyone was busy enrolling people. Ugh. I didn't even know where the locker room was. I'm not a ding dong totally. I found it eventually.
Issue 2: They hawk you for personal training. Like you're a fat little mouse that's dying to be eaten.
Finally I get someone to give me some attention day 2 and I ask for my tour. He's a younger guy I can tell he is there to sell memberships.
So I tell this guy, "I want a tour of the gym, I need to know specifically where certain equipment is so I'm not wondering around while I'm working out." I swear, all this kid heard was "whamp whamp whamp I'm new whamp I never had a fitness test whamp I want to dump all my money into a personal trainer whamp whamp"
He proceeds to tell me in order to get a tour, I need to schedule an appointment with a fitness trainer and get a fitness assessment. I tell him "I DO NO WANT A FITNESS ASSESSMENT, I AM NOT READY FOR THAT, I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHERE THE EQUIPMENT IS" Again he hears "whamp whamp whamp I'm new whamp I never had a fitness test whamp I want to dump all my money into a personal trainer whamp whamp"
So finally like forget it, I will schedule an appointment if that means I get a tour. So he walks me over to Andre who is very nice and not pushy and proceeds to tell Andre that I'm interested in getting a fitness assessment.
I said HOLD UP. "All I want is a tour. That's it." Andre took the lead and said she just wants a tour and the kid is like " I thought you wanted your fitness assessed" like wtf.
He didn't listen at all. Is the point.
Issue 3: Doesn't seem very clean.
This During my first week, I went for 5 days. Never did I see one employee wiping down equipment, I didn't even see available disinfectant to wipe it down myself. Like gross. At planet fitness they were always wiping down the equipment.
The Zumba and Yoga classes are great! I had a lot of fun with Leo. This gym can get pretty busy so beware.
They have some room for improvement and if PF ever offers childcare I will be back there in a heartbeat.
