THIS IS THE WORST GYM EVER! A place you go to relieve stress shouldn’t stress you out. I had an incident today with a an employee over some shoes…yes shoes. She came up to me while I was in the middle of running on the treadmill to “inform” me that I couldn’t were my shoes. The shoes I was wearing were ‘vibram 5-finger V-Souls’ which my orthopedic doctor specifically recommend I wear due to me experiencing injury and pain in certain joints and nerves. I was immediately put-off because not only did it just not make sense but I have been wearing them there for some time and also to other gyms without any complaints. This frustrated me because this employee has wrongfully addressed “concerns” with me prior to this and has even apologized for not being correct or factual before. When I asked her to tell me what the dress code policy was she refused and said I should change my shoes or leave. This rude response and faux professionalism irritated me so I suggested she call she cops, reason being I wanted a 3rd party mediator to explain to me the issue properly. The employee called the police and I sat there waiting; as I waited another employee showed me a picture of the policy and it said verbatim “no open-toe shoes or barefoot allowed. The shoes I was wearing were neither(look them up). I’ve been a member at this gym for 3 years and it hasn’t always been the best experience but I’ve remained loyal due to it being tolerable and the closest to home. I’ve had no issues with former employees as they’ve always been pleasant and responded to issues accordingly. Aside from this, this gym plays lewd and indecent music i’m guessing in attempt to appeal to its majority minority (Black/Latinx) population. There equipment is less than satisfactory if it actually works. Wait time for the machines are insane during 5-9pm hours. Never cleaned properly from locker room to machines. Weights and never racked and employees are negligent of that. Do yourself a favor and look else where for an actually decent...

I really like this Gym. It's only a 5-minute bus ride from my house, the facilities are well-kept & the staff there are really nice. I only have 2-complaints & it's more about my fellow gym goers... There needs to be some sort of time limit Or- FRIENDLY REMINDER SIGN POSTED By the Weight bars that it's not a lounge area, you shouldn't hog the area by sitting there- scrolling on your phone & doing a set-every 10-minutes... I've seen people take 45-minutes to 1- hour on those bars & it's ridiculous. My 2nd point is. I saw this guy have a towel on 1-machine, while working on another & he got an attitude when I tried to use a 3rd machine. He literally told me not to remove the bar, he's using that machine. 🤯 This Planet fitness location LITERALLY NEEDS "SIGNAGE" around to remind folks, to be considerate of your fellow gym goers, the equipment is there for everyone's usage... It could get ugly. Nevertheless, I STILL ENJOY going to your Pullman Location. I just go EARLIER & avoid the...

DISGRACE! This Planet fitness is Completely Run down, literally NOTHING works in this building. I wouldn’t even give it the satisfaction of calling it a gym. You will not find a working Treadmill here to save your Life! And the treadmills that are open to use are literally a HAZARD. The belt will literally stop as you’re running. They have no concern for the Members that pay their hard earned money to come here. I honestly take the low quality machines and lack of urgency to fix the machines here as an INSULT. As if the people in this community are in poverty/lower class and do not deserve working GOOD quality equipment. If this Planet Fitness was in a different less urban area (which I have been to) I could assure to you that we would not have this problem. These machines have been broken for Over a Year and I’m sick of it. I am taking my money elsewhere and switching to XSPORTS. Planet fitness you have Officially...
