Planet Fitness — Attraction in Garden City

Very nice gym. People leave you alone while working out and everyone is friendly. Gym is pretty clean. I've been going here for about 6 months, and for whatever reason, easily the last month the women's locker room has been gross. Toilet paper everywhere, the toilets have blood and poop on them (you'll see the same spot in the toilet for well over a week), and the showers have hair clumps, toilet paper and are visibly gross. Another lady warned me today about using the showers after she saw me trying to find the best-looking one, telling me that she got terrible athletes foot from the showers. I know, because I have it from their showers as well. The picture with the shower that has the large chunk of hair- has been like this going on 2 weeks. A lot of people use their locker rooms, and they need to be swept and disinfected far more often than they are. We shouldn't be seeing the same trash and spots for days or weeks.

Update: 1/2 Will never not be shocked by the status of the showers. From the black mold to the soap scum, it's truly a bacterial wonder. The gym is always clean, locker rooms are clean, even the actual bathrooms aren't bad. But these showers will have the same spots on them for weeks before getting wiped down. The one with the conditioner on the wall has been like this for an entire week and a half. The toilet paper was a nice addition this time around. The light in one of the showers has been out for at least the last month. These showers have to be cleaned at the very least once a week. This is disgusting.

The employees also seem to have plenty of time to do so, seeing as I'm rarely greeted and they seem to buy too busy talking with each other or on their phones. Surely, there is one time during everyone's shift they could do a clean up of bathrooms...

There's plenty of other gyms to use in the area. Ill likely end up going back to axiom or start using my crunch membership I get for free through work. I tried planet fitness for a few years leaving Axiom and really disappointed in the services. No one's ever at the front desk during peak hours. And even on off hours it's hit and miss getting someone to use the spa. I'm confused why you don't just have members sign in themselves to start machines. Staff can add water or thorough clean when they get time. I'm not sure the trade off for spa services beats Axiom classes. Plus I can just tan at crunch. If this happens again I'm definitely cancelling. I'm confused how you can leave a whole gym. Products. Computers. Unstaffed during your peak time. Happened yet again at 6am on a weekday. I worked out watching the front desk for 15-20 minutes. Waited at desk for another 5-10. Where are you? Maybe if your tanning lotions start disappearing and you wake up will it be too late and lost revenue. If no one's there to ring people up it's free I'm assuming?

Update- Apparently, other members I talked to said the employee was working out. Super irritating because I've seen this employee put up the spa closed sign during peak hours (right after checking me in) to go walk around and chat. I get if he's trying to sell training but you need front desk coverage. Your shift change staff should be cleaning and restocking at end of shift so no need to walk...

I love my planet fitness!!!! I love the convenient location and they're open 24/7, except for major holidays and even then they are only closed for a short amount of time so I can get right back to working out!!! The staff here are friendly and willing to help me with my fitness goals!!! I love the televisions!!!! They go all the way across the cardio type machines so I can watch while I sweat and doing that actually makes the time go by pretty quickly!! I did ten more minutes than I intended to one time because I got interested in a show that I'd never seen before. Bring your headphones so you can plug them in and you can choose your channel so you can listen while you work out. That's for the cardio machines!!! I love how clean the whole gym is!! There are lockers out front and in both bathrooms. Speaking of the bathrooms, they're so clean and huge!!! There are showers and a huge dressing area, so you could come right from work or head out without being sweaty from your gym time!!! I really enjoy being a black card member that gets me into the tanning area or the massage chairs!!!! It's such a great benefit that I enjoy very much!! I feel like I get a whole lot for my money at planet fitness! You should come in and talk to one of the staff members about getting your own...
