Good beginner gym for those learning how to build and progress through basic beginner/intermediate workouts and establish a workout routine. As is typical of commercial gyms, they lack most traditional powerlifting equipment, such as standard Olympic bars and bumper plates. That said, PF has never tried to sell themselves as a powerlifting gym, as indicated by The “Lunk Alarm” which goes off whenever weights are dropped too hard. This location has enough treadmills that I’ve never worried about availability, even on their busiest days. They have 5 smith machines, which can make finding one available when you need it difficult as most workout plans will require it for at least 1-2 moves, so everyone will be trying to work it in at some point. I’ve found it necessary when working out during peak hours to move the lifts around in my workout plan while waiting for one to become available; not a huge inconvenience but worth noting. Similar story for the leg press, which they have one of. Layout wise, the place is huge. Plenty of room in the dumbbell area to do even the most egregious workouts. Locker rooms are clean and spacious, and they also have smaller lockers by the front desk that I use to hold any valuables as they can be locked with a custom code. Additionally, it is located across the street from a substantial running/walking/biking trail system which connects to the track by GCPD (2...
Read morePlanet Fitness is Planet Fitness. However, there was a lady at the front desk around 40, I guess. She's kind of rude. My 1st visit. A biracial girl walked in and was wearing some revealing clothes and she (the front desk clerk) kind of looked at me with a smile to see if it would make me uncomfortable. I'm a Muslim woman. I promise, I do not care. I'm biracial too and I do not care. This is America the Melting Pot of the World. It doesn't bother Muslims for the most part because we understand we do not share the same understanding. It is what it is. I asked for a lock, and she said they didn't accept cash and then informed me that they could charge my card on file. She was saying things that was perceived as condescending. For instance, she was speaking to me like I wouldn't have enough money for a 5-dollar lock. When the payment was made, she said something along the lines, wow it went through. I spoke with her multiple times (don't really remember what she said), but she just appears to smile and say slick things in the guise of customer service. Weird and very condescending.
I requested to transfer my membership to Summerville. She said that other people were trying to do the same, but it wasn't going through. That it was probably the billing cycle which is tomorrow. Just left like a lot of BS.
Will be transferring as soon as possible. I rather Summerville get my...
Read moreI joined this gym, but they wouldn't let me sign up because I had to download the app. I said no, I don't want the app, and then they told me I couldn't provide a description. I asked for the supervisor and they told me there wasn't one. However, they signed me up and gave me a blank card, and I paid for the Black card. A few days later, I bought some protein juice and paid $2.00, with a 50% discount, as required for members with the Black card. But 2 days later, when I bought the same protein, they wanted to charge me full price, $4.00, saying that product wasn't eligible for a discount. Obviously, I didn't want it! I asked for the manager to clarify this situation, but they again told me there wasn't one! I showed the receipt from 2 days earlier, and they told me it was a mistake. I pay for the Black card, and it includes a 50% discount on all products in the refrigerator! What's the correct rule? Another thing I don't like is that, whether you like it or not, you have to listen to the terrible music they sometimes play. This music is awful, annoying, and often not to my taste! Furthermore, it takes away my concentration during workouts, I'm forced to use...
