About Planet Fitness Olympia, WA
Planet Fitness in Olympia, WA, is a well-equipped gym that provides a respectful and friendly environment. Most members maintain cleanliness, and the facility is generally accessible, except during busy weekday evenings. While the free weights area can feel cramped, the gym offers ample floor space for stretching. Some equipment, like the seated rowing machines, may not accurately simulate water rowing, and the cable machines can give a misleading sense of weight lifted. The showers require a few minutes for hot water to warm up, and temperature control is limited. Despite these minor issues, Planet Fitness Olympia offers great value for those seeking a straightforward workout routine without the need for large classes or additional amenities. The gym has received mixed reviews from customers. Some have praised the friendly staff and the overall cleanliness of the facility, while others have reported issues with non-functioning machines and a concerning incident involving a guest defecating in the shower instead of using the restroom. The staff's ability to handle this situation has been commended. Additionally, a customer has raised concerns about the television sets being tuned to CNN, which have reportedly gone black and have not been restored, raising suspicions about the gym's political neutrality.

I typically run cold temperature wise (I’m the type of person that always keeps their coat on indoors) but I am always wayyyy too hot here. The few times I’ve done cardio I felt like I was going to die (maybe not quite that bad, but still, it’s not fun). So I normally stick to weights and walking on the treadmill, but even then I’m so warm that it makes me not want to come. Pretty please keep the temperature cooler! I’d love to be able to do cardio at the gym! The tiny fans on the treadmill aren’t enough. If it’s too cold for the staff with a lower temperature, might I suggest getting...read full review
