Planet Fitness — Attraction in New York

As a black card member I've been traveling to different planet fitness locations and this is my favorite so far. The overall location of the gym is great. It's located within a shopping hub by a sporting goods store, mini mall (where you can find parking), supermarket and there is a White Castle across the street that sells black bean and veggie burgers. I like going to this location because it has a real easy-going pleasant atmosphere, I can run errands, get something to eat before or after my workout. I find that during their high traffic hours there are ppl of all ages and ethnicities, really mixed and diversed group of gym goers. Mondays after work (5pm-8pm/9pm) seem to be the busiest. The only two cons are: -Not enough space for floor/free weight exercises- which I find is the case with most planet fitness locations -One massage chair isn't fully functionally The massage chair, located farthest away from massage chair entrance, buttons arent fully functional, so you cannot change the massage settings and intensity, its stuck on 1 (tapping) and low intensity. I have encountered quite a few times a wait to use the massage chair because everyone (including myself) prefer to use the first massage chair that is fully functionally. It's been that way for quite some time hopefully they will get that fixed/replaced soon. #BlackCardMembersProblems (I know) Other than that I really like this location! Staff is really nice! Plenty of machines, in great condition. It's not noisy, its clean, smells REALLY nice and very fragrant most of the time. There can be a hint of gym funk at times, which is to be expected after all it is a gym but there is never an OVERWHELMING smell of gym like most locations I've visited. It seems like a very small location at first glance while inside, but once I start working out, everything well... workouts. The lay out is great: convenient, small but not cramped. The only readily space to do floor exercises is in front of the windows. Some people have expressed dislike for this fact, it doesn't bother me personally. What I like about the floor exercise space is that it is away from any other foot traffic which I find to be the opposite case in other Planet Fitness locations. Also the area is small and in close proximity of alike exercises (free weights and stretch machines) which is a plus not only for convenience but the close proximity of alike exercises makes it a good place to wind down alone or spark conversation. There's an ample seating sitting area by the front desk that also provides a good space 2 meet before or after workout or to just...

Started going after the real gym (Richie's on Junius) closed. Not enough free weights, so I also go to LA on Linden. Not impressed that a '24hr' gym closes early the 3 nights I'm awake the latest. The last time I was there they gave a warning 15 mins before closing (fine), turned the TV's off 10 mins before (ok), 5 mins before the lady at the front desk started yelling "sir, SIR, SSIIIRRRRR!!!". I was on an elliptical right by the door and turned around to see what the problem was. She was yelling at me to leave. I did not need to go to the locker room, I was 5 steps from the door and there we 30 other people, many of them all the way in the weights section in the back. Unnecessary, rude and facety. Most employees there are nice, but after that experience I will probably be canceling...

Lol....clean? Good employees? Spacious??? I don't know why these people are lying about this facility. Its never clean believe me I go numerous times in a week and use the showers bc idk when you work out you should clean ya azz....anyway this place is dirty af. Nasty gym with nasty acting employees. I can say for sure there are two people who are nice here. A light skinned dude who is usually there in the mornings and a short lady with short blonde hair those two are very nice. Everyone else is awful. And this place seems like a pick up joint. Nobody trying to hook up with these gross ass random. I come to actually get my work out on. Always have to come with someone so I won't get harassed. The one on Rockaway Avenue is way better, much cleaner and the staff is way...
