Planet Fitness — Attraction in Yuma

We have traveled from coast to coast and visited many PF’s. We have never felt so unwelcome as we have in Yuma. We (my wife and I) practice Yoga, Pilates, Tai-Chi, Qi-Gong and I am practicing Martial Artist. I order to train properly, many of these practices require that your feet be bare or “naturally covered”…aka..cotton or linen socks. This is a requirement for grounding, stretching, overall foot health and is core to our practices. We begin every workout with these routines. We use the floor pads, pick a spot, remove our shoes (leaving our socks ON!) and do our “floor work”. We have never had an issue until we started coming to Yuma. A member of the staff has demanded we put our shoes on “because it’s the rules”. She has escalated it to the point of threats of banishment. We find this to be highly unusual and discriminatory to our practice. We are reasonable folks, and we understand that shoes are to be worn to protect our feet. Lifting weights, using equipment, all require reasonable foot protection. Our feet require no protection when we are sitting on a padded floor stretching or in a yoga pose, in the Designated Stretching Area at your facility! When we conclude our floor work, we put our shoes back on and hit the equipment areas like everyone else. We have noticed that only 1 Single Employee has taken up this cause. No other employee says a word. Even the General Manager walks by and leaves us to our business. We find Her behavior very disturbing and contradictory to your company’s motto of “no judgment” and “all inclusivity”. We also feel her behavior is discriminatory to “Eastern/Asian Exercises and Practices”. This is behavior is unacceptable. Her demanding, authoritarian attitude coupled with threats of banning has created a hostile environment where my wife and I’s daily health practices are not welcome. We have cancelled our Black memberships to Castle Doom PF. We highly recommend a designated area for yoga and other floor exercise's where shoes are optional. Until PF includes that option and retrains that young lady with some lessons in customer service and humility, we will not be conducting business with...

Came to this planet fitness since I was in town to see the Yuma airshow. Few things about this planet fitness that I was not expecting is the layout of the gym when you first walk in there’s a big foyer and a table for you to sit at the welcome desk is on the left-hand side where you can scan it with either a key type or a badge, usually there is somebody behind the desk. The locker rooms are very well kept there total of 2 1/2 rows of treadmills a row and a half of ellipticals a few rowing machines and then onto seated workout equipment to free weights to Smith machines to the 30 minute circuit area to the abs area to a 360 X area, there’s also a black card spa holder area so if you have a black card, there’s a special place for you to go for you to get your benefits such as: massage Chairs, tanning beds, and so much the coolers are a bit empty. The reason I gave this gym four stars is due to some of the employees. How employees interact with guests is a big portion of my review process. Learning to be open to those whom are different really does matter. Some employees greeted me with a warm and energetic welcome while others ignored me completely, as if I don’t exist Planet fitness yes you are a franchise. However, this is a judgment free zone and that’s what I expect when I come to work out. Other than that the overall experience minus some of the negative things I heard from not only employees but other planet fitness guess the equipment was in immaculate shape. There wasn’t...

I went to this gym thinking I could save some money. They have hidden fees in some cases. You will set up an account to your bank/debit card and they will charge you every month. People seems not serious to this place . 1 day I came in and my wife came in waited in the waiting area with my 2 years old son. The assistant manager with a pair of glasses curly hair rudely told my wife not to bring my son in the gym she’s not even there for 5 minutes. Anyways the gym is stink. No bench press, no squat rack and no deadlift area . Totally a waste of time. I canceled my membership and they even charge me for cancellation. If you guys looking for a better gym for lifting might as well go 4th Avenue gym , MMA gym in downtown yuma or any other just not to this gym. Rules are ridiculous ! It only apply to certain people. Tight restroom not properly clean. I saw the staff cleaning it not even scrubbing the shower floor. And if you want a weird looking trainer that looks not doesn’t life at all then this is the right gym for you. And they do have yearly fees too. I will never again set foot in this gym told my clients how my awful experience to this gym I don’t stop them from going but I do really care about them for they want real...
