Planet Fitness — Attraction in New York

I saw a few of the other reviews, i have to disagree.. i am not being a hater.. the fact is this is first an formost a buissness and its all about getting your money!!

a "gym" that gives away free pizza every week, right there in the gym while people are working out???? a " gym" that gives candy treats at the counter?

a " gym" where 90% of the people "working out" there, are doing exercises incorrectly, and no experienced trainers going around to correct and help?? i am a fitness instructor and have worked in and managed a few gyms in the past, when gyms were gyms.. ( they were all bought out by the corporations ) i have to give this " gym" and the other one on forest ave, a bad review, because and most importantly, NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE MEMBER! its run and operated by KIDS! kids going to college who just need a some money.. they dont do anything. the up keep of the gym is poor, the bathrooms smell, and are always out of paper towels. the dumbells are not put back where they belong, and you have to look for them when you need them. there are spray deoderizer or air freshners spraying out on the members because they are mounted in all the areas where people are working out.. so people get sprayed.. the workers are not in shape themselves, and cant help anyone anyway. but there are a few kids working there that like to work out themselves while working.. so i stopped going because all of these things annoyed me.. this company attracts people who just want to pay very llittle to belong to a "gym".. and thats just what you will get! ...

Do to a job change on mine, I came into the South Ave. Staten Island NY location over 2 years ago and signed a paper to cancel my membership. Since then this gym has been charging my card- I have called and asked many times for them to please stop. (I paid my CC not to be put into collections while I attempted to have them stop) I was told I had to come in again to cancel bc the employee at the time must have "forgot" to scan in my paper. The employee incompetency is costing me over $600. I was told to produce my copy from over 2 years ago and was basically told by the manager Danielle Schechtman that I was lying. She is very rude, condescending and laughed while I stressed to her that I did cancel my account. She said there was nothing she can do for me. I never had an issue with this gym until I attempted to cancel my account. They have been fraudulently charging me over 2 years and claim I never followed their procedure to come into the gym to cancel when I know I did. I am now fighting them with my credit card company. It is not fair they can keep charging you based on a paper that an employee...

Plantet fitness used to feel like a family kinda place with staff especially the manager David, always got greeted with a big smile and always said goodbye when leaving, during the hours he was there the gym was always clean, he always ran around wiping things , sweeping or taking out the garbage... during the hours he is not there the girls bathroom is dirty and cans full of garbage ... the new staff on hand have zero personality, not friendly or inviting.... they act like you are bothering them, they hang out behind the desk like it’s a hang out on their phones ... since David is no longer an employee there I am considering not renewing my membership, big mistake not having him there since his personality is what got ppl to sign up , that’s how I ended up there! #bringdavidback On a side note , some machines need upkeep and since the remodel some machines are too close, one bench press machine is right under the light it’s like looking into the sun and how bout a change in music since the same loop plays every dam day at the same...
