Planet Fitness — Local services in Hermitage

Planet fitness serves an effective purpose in the fitness community and this particular PF is rather inviting. If I was new to the gym it would be ideal. It's big, with lots of room to move around from machine to machine and has been clean every time I have visited. The only issue I find is with the actual planet fitness theme of being judgment free. How can a place that slaps stereotypical labels on people who have worked for years to build muscle & strength, call itself judgement free? They have an alarm used to draw attention to people as they are kicked out for pushing the limits of their strength, aka - trying to advance themselves. I wear an oversized hoodie in every planet fitness I visit to essentially hide that I look like the people they discriminate against and usually only do cardio or some light active recovery. If I actually want to lift weights, I go some place else where I won't be thrown out, set off alarms, judged and discriminated against because I have big shoulders and squat 500 pounds. Also, I've worked out in some of the worlds most elite and infamous gyms. The notion that if you are new to a gym you are being judged by those more advanced than you is simply fear mongering.

I recommend getting the planet fitness black card. There are several planet fitness is in the surrounding area, Austintown, Butler, Newcastle. Niles, Boardman… take your pic! With the black card you can choose any planet fitness worldwide. You can bring guests, use the tanning bed, use the massage chairs and you get 50% off of drinks. The gyms are clean with plenty of equipment and free weights. The lockers are in good condition, and the toilets and showers are maintained. Bring your headphones plug them into the machines, and there are several televisions you can choose from through Planet Fitness provided Wi-Fi. Do not forget to take your lock to lock the locker while you use a free locker during your time of visit. When you leave, don’t forget to take everything with you from the locker. Associates are helpful and very friendly. So don’t worry if you want to joint and need help because you don’t know how to use a piece of equipment, they will come and show...

Edit update: I increased to 3 stars because the manager actually greeted me today. And the bathrooms were finally cleaned. It’s still disappointing that I had to resort to a Google review to get a clean bathroom. But I will take it. Hopefully it keeps improving.

I am highly disappointed. I suffered for 2 months with cold showers they finally got that fixed and now the place is so dirty. The showers look like they never get touched and today when I went to shower so I could head to work, I quickly changed my mind when I found all kind of trash all over the floors and the shower was so slimy. I ended up being late to work because I had to go back home to shower. Looks like I need to find a new gym to attend. I guess this place is just going down hill. The manager is constantly on her phone and doesn’t acknowledge people coming or going. And I’ve complained to her several times about the cleanliness but I guess that doesn’t matter to her. So...
