Machines seem a bit outdated compared to those at other PFs (canāt connect Apple Watch to cardio machines, a few machines consistently have broken or malfunctioning features, tanning beds look like older models, etc.) and during the summer it can get very hot in certain areas of the gym (oppressively so). Other than that itās clean - despite the number of people who canāt be bothered to wipe their machine or read one of the many signs about it - the staff are very nice, and they donāt serve pizza (why on earth do some locations serve junk food???). The staff might be the best part of it, honestly. Give them and the person who hired them a raise! Note: Iāve been a member here since it opened and the above has been the case the entire time. Itās not a bad gym, but if I lived closer to Daniel Field or Bobby Jones Iād absolutely be going to one of those instead. All three, however, pale in comparison to some of the PFs Iāve been to in bigger cities.
Also - this is not a criticism of this location specifically - but i really miss my late night weekend sessions. I get that closing for the night saves on labor costs, but some of us who work in the service industry rely on 24/hr businesses because of our work schedules and it used to be the norm for PF and many others. Unfortunately, it seems, that is no longer a target for post-pandemic businesses besides gas stations and Waffle Houses⦠and you canāt lift weights at Waffle House. Trust me, I got some weird looks for that (at least they donāt have a...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI would like to State first that I've been a member of the North Augusta location for over 5 years. Today is first day that I would not recommend this gym to anyone. Usually you're greeted with a smile. Hi hello today checking in. No one at the counter was greeted with disgust and a sense of thanks for interrupting my phone time. I get that working at a gym can be boring with nothing to do and the fact that a phone is accessible to scroll during lulls of no apparent work is easy to fall victim to. But when a blackcard member notices full trash throughout the gym and emptying paper towel dispensers a long with empty disinfecting spray bottles that makes me feel that your employees could care less about the health and hygiene of the gyms patrons. There's also a case by case basis on the policing of PPE for the tanning beds 6 months no qualms about going in with no eyewear, but today I'm chastised about not knowing something that wasn't made apparent from the get go. So to address this I asked for a managers card to which they apparently have pretty sweet hours where they are able to forward their work calls back to the gym to deal with such warm and receiving front desk staff. Thanks De'Twan Lamb you and your employees professionalism was far from credible and was severely lacking. Was severely disappointed in my experience today and definitely questioning my further...
Ā Ā Ā Read morePlanet Fitness North Augusta is a great gym. The staff are curteous and friendly. Any questions or requests are always handled promptly. The gym and locker rooms are immaculatly clean. The equipment is always in good working order. When something breaks a sign is posted taking the piece out of service and usually it is repaired within a week or so. Three reasons I did not give PFNA a score of ten is as follows....1) There is a problem with the Air conditioning system. Of the four units cooling the building I suspect only 3 are operational. This keeps the gym area unusually warm. Especially in the summer. I go to another PF location during the summer months as it gets miseralble there with the heat. 2) A new Goodwill store opened next door to PFNA and it bring all sorts of undesireables and homeless people to the gym parking area. It can be unsafe, especially at night. I advise caution and to be aware of your surroundings "especially" at night. Finally the Summer Free Passes for high school students. I and other members resent these students. They come in and take up all the equipment and leave a mess ....for free. They pay nothing as I understand it. At least make the students aware they are guests and paying members have certain privileages that they do not while working out. Otherwise, you can't beat the gym for...
