Planet Fitness — Local services in New York

I go here periodically when in the Bronx, and about 3 weeks ago, I went at 9:30pm- and when I got back to my locker at 11:30pm, it had been broken into. My brand new MOOSE KNUCKLES coat was stolen, wallet gone, credit cards, I. D and keys, all GONE. They did leave my pants and bag, though. And they even took the lock itself. It was a Master combination lock. So, if you go here, don’t use the lockers.

Incidentally, I went to the gym on w35th the week prior, and I actually forgot to close the lock on my locker and didn’t notice until I returned to the locker room to leave, yet all my belongings were still there!

Well, I the cops TWICE! They never came, so I left. Then 2 hours later, they called and said they had arrived at the gym, AFTER I had to Uber home with a tank top and no coat, on a cold night! No cameras inside the locker room, of course. I did go back the next day and speak to the assistant manager, she was sympathetic. The staff as a whole was understanding, actually. But I was not allowed to view the cameras to see if anyone walked out with my coat on, or to see whose bag may have seemed over STUFFED when exiting. They said only the cops could view it.

BTW, I did go to the precinct and file a police report on my next day off, but I am not optimistic about this outcome.

I had to cancel all my cards, order everything again, replace the locks on my home, since they had my I.D my and my keys. Just terribly inconvenient. Who the F* steals someone’s coat? Will I ever see my SOLD OUT coat again? I’m so happy I didn’t wear any jewelry that day.

Why leave my valuable belongings in a locker, someone asked. Well, why NOT? Am I to carry around a down coat while working out? I’ve been going to gyms since I was teen, and I’ve never had anything stolen from me, or from anyone I know. I haven’t gone to this location since. But if I see someone with this unique coat on in this area, I’m getting my...

Good luck with the classes with the personal trainer. This people do not respect people's times. I scheduled 2 appointments with a personal trainer. When I showed for the first one, he told me he was by himself and that nobody else from his coworkers showed up. My only option was walk out. The second time, I even called to make sure the trainer was there. They told me he was there and that I could go. When I showed up almost 3 minutes before my appointment time, I was told he was on break and I needed to wait about 20 minutes. After waiting a couple of minutes I decided it was not fair and it was unprofessional from the staff to play with the members' time. I told the lady at the front desk, they should not have appointments available during the time the trainers are on lunch. I clearly told her I have to do things on my own or use the workouts routine in the app. If trainers can't make it to some or most of the appointments why do they have them available in the app? You should do better than this Planet Fitness. I used to go to the one on 225 and never had this issue. I am trying this one because I moved to the neighborhood. I should have followed my friend's advice of joining...

The facility is nice and the location is very convenient, but I had to cancel my membership just after one month due to the rude amateur crowd that regularly patronizes this place. It seems to be more of a hang out spot than a gym. People loiter on the equipment for long periods of time not doing anything but fidgeting with their phones, talking to their friends, and not allowing others to use the equipment. Then other people take the free weights and hold on to them like it’s their personal property. They have several bars stacked next to them as if they’re in their own personal home gym. Not to mention that this place already has a limited amount of good equipment and really isn’t a full gym. Complaints to management go absolutely nowhere, because they’re making money as-is. The budget friendly membership fee attracts a lot of teenagers and chatty people who are not serious about working out. If you’re a person that likes to hit the gym after work & get in a nice 45 min or better workout, this location is not for you. For that reason alone, it’s worth it to pay an extra few dollars and go to a gym where the crowd is actually there to workout and everyone who goes...
