Used to like it, not so much anymore

by maggiemay7125 , Jan 22 '08
Pros: I had too much info here, so I pasted it up top.
Cons: I had too much info here, so I pasted it up top.
I joined the PF in Danvers about a year and a half ago. I loved it. They had huge fans going during the summer, it was well lit and all the machines worked great. I heard that one opened up in Somerville, so since Somerville was about 10 miles closer ...

TOO MANY Members, I've had it.

by renovia , Aug 29 '05
Pros: cheap fees, unlimited tanning
Cons: very busy if you want to actually work out, hope you like to wait.
I joined PF about a year ago and initially was happy with my $10/month fee. It was busy but it thinned out around 7pm. In January, PF got their usual influx of members with new year's resolutions. I figured it would thin out around February. Not ...

Planet Fitness? Never again

by sclifford , Apr 25 '06
Pros: Brand new facility
Cons: No squat rack, no clips on the bars, dumbells only go up to 75 pounds...
I went to PF in Oviedo, FL, with a friend for several weeks until we were told that a gym bag on the floor was a safety hazard and a violation of their policies. This was surprising as there were no clips on the bench press bars. When this was brought ...

PF/Falls Church, VA not worth the gimmick.

by urbanman , Jan 14 '08
Pros: $10 a month membership, cheap down payment, no contract, accommodating hours.
Cons: Parking sucks, owners are lazy, rude management, filthy place.
I've been a member of Planet Fitness in falls church, VA since it converted from its previous chain, Olympus, and paying less money per month might be a bonus for most but it is not worthy putting up with the filthy premises, rude management team, and ...

Planet Fitness-Read Your Contract Closely

by gymguy , Dec 31 '04
Pros: Good equipment Plenty of cardio machines Clean
Cons: Rules not handed out High handed treatment of customers Not a warm, friendly atmosphere
This pertains to my experience at the Planet Fitness facility located at 475 Albany Shaker Road in Loudonville, NY. There may be other fitness locations to which this critique does not apply; however, this has been a disappointment to say the least. ...

Rude and Inept

by aebaeb , Jul 18 '07
Pros: There is absolutely nothing that is positive about my experience about or with Planet Fitness.
Cons: Insensitive, uncaring, money hungry. There is nothing about PF that I want in my life.
Joined Planet Fitness in June of 2006 for $19.99 p/month. I joined this gym because of its mantra of "judgement free zone" and the feeling that they truly cared about me. Within two weeks of my joining I tore my ACL and, per my surgeon, could not utilize ...

No Frills Fitness Manassas VA

by beltpack , Sep 11 '09
Pros: Clean, roomy, plenty of cardio, free weights, cable machines, weight and ab benches. Great price.
Cons: I admit it's hard not to grunt (LOL!).
I'm really happy with my Planet Fitness. It's clean, roomy and well-equipped. The atmosphere is good for FITNESS. I do a cardio machine to start (5 types of machines available, including treadmills) then mostly free weights and cables, focussing on one ...

Won't let me cancel my membership

by barbarian2007 , Jun 27 '07
Pros: cheap
Cons: no classes, child care, no racquetball and basketball courts, over-crowded, can't cancel my membership
I was a World Gym member for years and loved the yoga, spin, circuit training, and cardio classes. I had a personal trainer off and on who helped me with weight training and I was there at the gym 3 - 4 times a week. When Planet Fitness took over ...

Hamden, CT -- SECRET CHARGES

by lkiu4474 , Nov 23 '07
Pros: I thought it would be a good idea...
Cons: Unwelcoming, intimidating, and OVERCHARGING
I joined Planet Fitness because it was cheap, however, they continued to charge me after I terminated my membership. When confronted with the evidence, the impotent store manager could not refund my money because it had already been processed. Clearly, ...

Fees add up Quickly and Quitting is not as easy as joining

by johngalt001 , Aug 01 '07
Pros: New equipment, good hours
Cons: The fee structure increases your real costs quickly. They need to clean more often.
The cardio equipment is high-end, $6K treadmills. They have small LCD TVs in front of each treadmill which makes working out more enjoyable because you can watch your own programs. The muscle building/toning machines are not as high quality as you find ...

For the everyday person, NOT FOR BODYBUILDERS or experts

by nlkflint , Jun 13 '09
Pros: Lots of cardio with TV's.  Equipment and people not intimidating.
Cons: If you are a bodybuilder looking for extremes in weights, not for you. 
A great place for an everyday person to work out.  Barebones.  Equipment. No fluff, no frills.  No classes, no daycare--which is great as I don't need it. The weights don't go very high, so NOT FOR BODY BUILDERS.  More for the ...

DO N OT JOIN!!!

by bobbyb444 , Dec 01 '09
Pros: absolutely none
Cons: poor accounting, too distant to drive to
First, you must pay in advance for the ensuing month ($10.60) There is a hefty fee for missed payments ($10). They do not pro-rate for the following month, so the following month's fee is due. If you want to cancel, watch out...you must cancel a few days ...

Don't go to the Orange City, Florida gym

by bigboy78 , Apr 07 '08
Pros: The equipment is ok.
Cons: Personal trainer is rude and lacks experience-although he would try to convince you otherwise.
Planet Fitness Orange City, Fl the judgment zone!! I joined the Planet Fitness club near my house in Orange City, Florida and I regret doing so. From the very start the personal trainer humiliated everyone by yelling out in front of the whole gym that ...

RIP-OFF

by ucfshorty03 , Oct 11 '07
Pros: not crowded, no one will bother you
Cons: rude, unknowledgeable employees
They lied to me time after time!! When I joined I asked for the $10 plan and was told it didnt exist that I had to do the $20 plan. I recently was told by an employee that when I signed up it did exist and the person who did it is no longer working ...
