Planet Fitness — Local services in Cerritos

The shower situation sucks here especially in the morning, I have to go to work and there a couple guys here who basically live here, they have legit luggage’s in the restrooms and it’s been an issue for the longest time, it seems the workers don’t care that guys live there and hog the showers for hours on end, they like to take an hour shower there and aren’t considerate of others timelines, its easily more than 3-4 guys that do that and they like to do it at the same time like around 5-8am. And what makes matters worse is that this gym always has issues with showers for some reason there has been multiple instances where one of the shower stalls can’t even be used for any amount of reasons. Once they had a reconstruction issue and now the workers don’t seem to care that one shower doesn’t have curtains so it can’t be used at all, especially when the people who seem to live there happen to hoard the last remaining two for an hour luxury shower. These people should have been given a notice along time ago, I’ve never had this issue with any other gym. I’ve arrived a couple time late to work specifically because of this issue of having to wait 30 plus minutes for a shower to open up since there seems to be only two or more like none because of the homeless there because the lack of workers being lazy to put a curtain up. They better take this complaint and do something about it. Because they are not fulfilling with their agreement of having accessible showers from our...

Arrived around 8 pm to begin my shoulder and chest workout. I have been to many planet fitness gyms, and this one by far left a sour taste in my mouth. I started my shoulder workout with shoulder presses and set my very small drawstring bag next to my foot, a staff member named "Nicko" had the audacity to interrupt me in the middle of my set while I had 70lb dumbbells over my head!! I understand that there is a protocol but do you really have to interrupt me and risk that weight dropping on my head?! Just to let me know that I can't have my very small bag next to my foot. I politely responded and obliged. I then moved on to use the bench press and in the middle of my set while I had weight pushing down on me, here comes Nicko again to harass me and my workout partner... on top of making me a liability to planet fitness this staff member kept staring at us from a distance making me and my workout partner feel extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome. Your slogan reads "you belong," but today I felt persecuted, intimidated and uneasy. The kicker to all of this, is that this kid had the nerve to confiscate my water jug leaving me almost two hours without drinking any fluids(I tend to stay away from water fountains due to issues with filtration). I will not be returning to this planet fitness location and am considering taking my business to another gym...

They recently got a lot of new equipment, which is great, but they also removed some stuff for reasons I'm a little confused by if I'm being honest. There's now only one leg curl and extension machine each, no military press machine or a lateral raise machine, and the new smith machines also feel like a bit of a downgrade. I also haven't seen the abductor/adductor machines yet, but I may have just missed those and I haven't done those exercises in a bit so those might still be there.

On the smith machines, I do like that the bar seems a bit heavier now and actually tells you how much it weighs on its own now. This makes it a lot easier to know how much I am benching or squatting, etc. On the other hand, it feels worse on the initial lift when trying to remove the new hook so that you can lower the bar during the exercise itself. For example when benching, I find that I don't want to lift as heavy as I normally can when pushing myself because it's harder on my wrists to lift, rotate, and unhook the bar to begin my set. I'm not sure if it needs to be oiled or something, but it's just very uncomfortable to do.

The gyms still pretty good though overall, people give PF a bad wrap but this ones really close to me and I've been able to pretty much get done what I'd do at...
