** 10/15/07 Edit - To clarify, I am referring to the Whitehall Planet Fitness in Charlotte, NC. This particular gym is in a sizable office park and was built new as a Planet Fitness - it was not a Gold's gym prior. I am currently on the $10, no contract, ...

I tried the planet fitness in Greece New York. I have some family and friends who are new to working out who recommended it to and told me it was 10 a month. For that price I didn't expect much but figured that it was worth a try. I didnt get a ...

Pros: Pretty Yellow and Purple Colors LOL
Cons: Planet Fitness = Hypocrisy Personified Membership is only valid at locations under the same owner

Pros: Clean Facility. Cheap in price.
Cons: Cheap quality. Lightweight machines. Staff not knowledgeable or polite. Nothing beyond the absolute minimums.

Recommended test: Go to the planetfitness web site. Try to find the email address for the corporate offices. (They don't list one.) When you find the email form, send them a message - something generic like, "I have a problem with the XXX gym." See ...

Cons: Too JUDGEMENTAL,stupid dress code, not enough equipment, non-motivating atmosphere.

My World Gym in Colorado Springs became a Planet Fitness on July 1 - the whole thing was kept a secret until the Saturday prior to the changeover. I read the reviews on this site, so I was somewhat prepared for what I was going to encounter - but words ...

Pros: Inexpensive.
Cons: Focus on high volume/no service memberships, poor attitude toward good fitness and fitness goals.

This Springfield, MA location was previously a Gold's Gym. Although the gym appeared to struggle financially as a Gold's, the overall attitude of the management and the members under the Gold's regime was positive and geared toward fitness-related ...

Pros: cheap,free pizza 1 day/month, some kind of roll on some other day,free tootsie rolls,no contract
Cons: At least 1 gym has called the police to remove a grunter (prison guard)

That is what the owner of the new Mechanicsburg, PA gym told me as the reason why the gym has very few mirrors. "People are uncomfortable when they see themselves work out." So I commented "if all that was needed was to read a few mags then no coaches or ...

Pros: Nothing. The worst excuse for customer service and company policy I have ever heard of.
Cons: See the review and DO NOT JOIN PLANET FITNESS.

I was a member of Planet Fitness in Anchorage, Alaska for 2 days and will NEVER go back. The $19.99 monthly fee sure was enticing, the gym appeared clean, it's close to my house and other gyms in town are at least $50 a month. I signed up this past ...

Pros: Dirt cheap membership, flexible hours, not too crowded.
Cons: Bad parking, broken mirrors, filthy facilities, corrupt owners.

Pros: Large number of cardio machines, but only 3 different types: more variety is needed!
Cons: Rude and incompetent staff, no classes, not "judgement free"

I signed up for this gym in October because I wanted something different from what I was used to, but after a while it got very boring to work out there. Yeah, it was great to get to watch TV while working out, but I had to stop going. The people who ...

2.  Clean
3.  New equipment
4.  Convenient
Cons: 1.  Piped in music - LOUD

Pros: None
Cons: No longer being judged in the judgment free zone.

QUESTION: When is a ski-hat not a ski-hat? ANSWER: When it’s on the head of a black man, then it becomes a do-rag. I terminated my almost 20 year membership and friendship (I thought) with David DiSabato, the owner of the Planet Fitness Gym in ...

Pros: -price-amount of equipment-diverse crowd-clean
Cons: -could use another water fountain-need dumbbells heavier than 75 lbs.-'lunk alarm' is annoying

I see a whole lot of negative reviews for Planet Fitness, and I really don't understand. Maybe I'm just lucky to have a good location, but I've always thought it was a great place to workout for somebody such as myself, who doesn't need a bunch of ...
