Planet Fitness — Local services in Athens

I have been a PF member for years. I have never experienced any issues until tonight. I waited at the desk for 10 minutes waiting to be assisted. (I didn’t mind the wait because it was 11:30 at night) but usually the staff is always so nice and welcoming. My experience on 9/18/19 at 11:42pm was less than welcoming. The girl walked up from it looked like she was cleaning. (Which is what I figured why The desk was unattended.) She did not say hello or even crack a smile after I said hello and smiled. I work weird hours so having PF that is open 24 hours is a major perk for me, and I enjoy the amenities I get for $20 a month. I choose PF over my free gym at my apartment. I love PF in Athens, but the girl working tonight was not pleasant at all.

I might be spoiled by our home planet fitness in Lancaster, but this was my first and only time I’ll stop by this location. The gentleman at the counter was friendly, the lady looked at me like I had 2 heads when I asked a question(because it is set up differently for black member benefits). The locker rooms were gross.

I’m sure most of the issues are the patrons. No one was cleaning equipment and no courtesy for others. They would sit and have entire conversations while sitting on machines (There aren’t many as it is a smaller gym) Honestly I left before I usually do bc it was an awful experience. I do however highly recommend Lancaster! Super clean! Plenty of equipment and you can’t beat the...

I have been going to Planet Fitness for years now across the country as I Travel. As I understand they are a judgement free zone and they pride themselves off of that. I am a fitness major and know the challenges for people getting back into living healthier life styles. I came in as a guest to check out this new facility. I was using the Smith Machine to Squat and lowered the safety bar to the floor. The safety handle slipped out of my sweaty fingers and dropped MAYBE 5 inches to the floor. To my surprise the" Lunk" alarm was buzzed and the whole facility was staring at me. I then had 3 employees following me around watching me the rest of my workout. I have never felt so uncomfortable in any gym. I am no "Lunk". I am 5'4' and 125lbs. I find this judgement free zone NOT so...
