About Planet Fitness
Planet Fitness is a popular, affordable gym known for its accessible equipment and "Judgment Free Zone" philosophy, making it suitable for beginners or anyone new to working out. The facility is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of cardio machines like treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals, as well as a decent selection of strength-training equipment. Members have plenty of room to work out without feeling crowded, and the gym is kept spotless. The monthly membership options include basic access or a "Black Card" membership that offers perks such as access to any Planet Fitness location, guest passes, massage chairs, and tanning beds. The gym also features a "30-Minute Circuit" workout area, which is helpful for quick, structured workouts. The staff is friendly and responsive, with employees like Zane, Shamayla, Jeremy, and Adrian standing out for their excellent service. The locker rooms and shower facilities are usually clean, and the app helps members see how busy the gym is, which is often quite accurate. However, some reviews mention that the gym lacks heavy lifting equipment like squat racks or barbells, which could be limiting for more advanced lifters. During peak hours, the cardio machines can get busy, but the wait is generally manageable. Overall, Planet Fitness offers a clean, safe environment with good equipment for cardio and lighter strength training, making it a great choice for beginners or casual gym-goers. While it may not be ideal for those seeking heavy lifting equipment or advanced training, it remains a good value for affordable, no-pressure workouts.
My Personal opinon after many months of training daily. These are my observations and I stand by them. This location should be The Standard when it comes to providing a clean, safe, friendly and purposeful gym experience. I'll start off by saying Cara, the Manager, is an absolute model of customer service. Cara has the unique ability to articulate well, provide knowledge and information to customers, develop relationships with clients, all while mainting the highest level of proffessionalism. It should go without saying that this is displayed in her employees as well. The Staff Cara has built is incredible. These young men and women are shining the same light and are all models of customer serivce and personability. Zane McCann is an extremely down to earth person who can answer any question or help with any situation that may arise in a gym environment. He is proffessional and eager to help. Shamayla is an extremly pleasant young woman who maintains proffessionalism and politeness no matter how rude a gym client may have been (Have seen this first hand) Jeremy is an outstanding personal trainer and I've seen him work with many clients, all who are excited and engaged. He always has a smile on his face, greets everyone, and his positive attitude is infectious. Adrian has been an outstanding placement in the Team Lead position as he displays a willingness to get the job done and lead others in doing so. He is very capable of working under pressure and maintaining professional behavior Im sure Im leaving out a few staff members here, but it goes without saying that every single member of this team are exactly what an employer should be looking for. My personal opinion is that Planet Fitness should pay attention to this particular location and take notes on how well this location is employeed. This should be THE model location franchise wide.
One of the closest locations to my house. I alternate between here and the garner location. I love them both, garner is just super crowded, most mornings, even when I go at 5am. Which is fine, I have no issues with it, it just requires waiting around to use equipment occasionally, but I love planet fitness. The hours are most definitely convenient and the equipment is up to date and simple to use!
Different than my normal home base planet fitness but still great.
