Started going here a week ago. I was very adamant about not joining a gym because I didn't want to deal with large crowds and waiting to use a machine. I had a treadmill at home but I really wanted to start regaining my upper body strength and buying gym equipment is so expensive.
I have access to a gym at work but I never remember to grab workout clothes and most days I am in a rush to get home. So to drive 20 minutes to use the gym at work after leaving just didn't seem feasible. Plus the showers at work are gross and barely get cleaned. That being said, not only is the gym at planet fitness very clean but so are the showers. Although so far I haven't used them since I only live ten minutes away, its a nice option to have.
The staff is super friendly and helpful. I havn't met anyone who has been rude yet. Using the massage chairs and hydro massage after a work out is helping to keep the soreness down from just starting a return to physical fitness again. Getting the black card made those two options worth it. There are plenty of sanitation stations around to use after a machine which is also nice. I was very surprised to see just how much equipment they really have. Honestly it doesn't look as big as it is from the outside. Oh also the crowd meter might be my favorite in app use. I am not a big fan of crowds to begin with. Having been out of shape for so long due to health issues has made me self conscious and yet the atmosphere at PF has been pretty neutral. I feel comfortable working out here. Overall its been...
Read moreIve been going to different Planet Fitness locations in Pennsylvania and this is one of the most comfortable facilities that I've been to. Customer Service was excellent, Brenden was very attentive to all my needs and requests and was overall a joy to be around. The Equipment there is new and plentiful. The bathrooms and Black Card lounge were in pristine condition and functioning optimally. My only complaint is the thermostat! Ideally on the East Coast during Winter- youd want to come out of the cold and into a Warm environment to prime yourself to begin to exercise. Some like the cold since it motivates them to increase HR in order to warm up, but after intense cardio or anaerobic i end up with a soaked shirt that will get ridiculously cold within minutes. Involuntary ice bath option? Idk. Fix the thermostat! 5/5 bc its not significant enough to...
Read moreGreat place to get your cardio on! Staff are really nice and helpful. Equipment is always clean and in working condition and if something breaks they are quick to repair it. If you pay for the full vip package you also get the opportunity to try out the hydro bed (I would use this after a long night of work than go home shower and sleep. Of course I would work out later that day tho.) Also the tanning booth both the bed and usage of the spray. And than there are the massage chairs... Never can go wrong with a thousand little magic fingers to loosen you up. I give Planet Fitness 5 stars... Only place I really know that you can go to be left alone to burn off tension in the peace of your own music or if you have the VIP you can bring a friend and sweat it out together! Great stress relievers and toning up......
