Planet Fitness — Local services in Goshen

I love planet fitness. This is my family's home fitness location. I LOVE the corporate emphasis on non-judgemental fitness and welcoming atmosphere: a good place to get reinforced for your efforts to become more fit. The only reason that I docked one star is that this location, which is only one month old, is still being sorted out. I look forward to being able to increase my rating soon.

Edit: our local club is substantially sorted out. We use it frequently. Its open 24-7, with Sunday morning one of the busiest times. There are two levels of membership. The standard membership grants access to all of the exercise equipment (a huge number and variety of machines): treadmills for walking or running, stair climbers, ellipticals, both upright and recumbent bicycle trainers, a wide variety of weight machines adaptable to a very wide variety of body types, sizes, and abilities. They have free weights if you are in an "old school" mood.

A separate area grants a thirty- minute workout by progressing around the circuit when prompted by light signals.

The other level of membership is the "Black Card Club", which for a small monthly premium, grants access to all of the above PLUS access to the Black Card Spa which provides tanning and massage chairs services. In addition, Black Card members are granted discounts on beverages and other products sold at the club's control desk. Go and talk to the staff, tour the facility, and soak up the "no judgement" culture (including a "lunk alarm" prohibiting grunting or slamming weights down in an effort to show off) and I'm sure you will want to join, too!

The member charges are quite reasonable at both levels, and can be suspended or cancelled by the member if circumstances or tastes lead the member to...

I will actually start with the good. Clean and new equipment in an overall clean environment. That's about it. First, there is one heavier set woman, that is rude and ignores people sometimes when they come up to the desk. I have already seen other reviews in here that I'm pretty sure are about her. Further, I'm not a personal trainer, but I have been working out for a long time. There are a lot of people that are not lifting correctly and you cant say anything to them because you'll be a lunk. You have to be careful pushing yourself higher because if you fail and slap the plates or grunt a little bit, you're a lunk. It offers you a reward of candy, pizza, and bagels just for finishing a workout even if you just walked around and hurt yourself more with bad form because no one will correct you. This was really hard for me because I had to lose a lot of weight to go back into the military. I dont really want to blame this specific location, it's just a planet fitness issue overall, but it really impedes improvements for the moderate or advanced lifters and can hinder even beginner lifters. I cant really say I support the gym as a...

I came in renewed my membership and the shower was ice cold, then when I got to the desk Noone was there. I wanted to buy some Eyewear tanning lotion and use the massage beds tanning and the red light thing but all their beds were broke. I just walked out and waited for my friend I was so discouraged. We pay extra for the black card, and that's supposed to be available. I just...don't know what to say. I talked this place up to my friend and I feel stupid. Maybe I'm just used to the ones in sb and mishawaka. Seems rundown and lacks maintaining of its equipment. I just sat in my car for an hour waiting on my friend to get done qith their workout. I didn't buy the products, and I'll give it one more chance before I go to another location where they do...
