NEW GYM OLD EQUIPMENT!

I stopped attending this PF a little while before the new renovations because after many complaints of faulty and old equipment being ignored I was told about the newly opened planet fitness on Frankford ave. Brand new everything. During my great time at the better location I couldn’t help but see the red lion shopping center being updated and a long line of portapottys 🚽 outside of PF! I heard that they were doing renovations! So my hope was restored but I couldn’t bring myself to attending until it was completed. I thank God that I asked someone (shall remain nameless) if they were finished because the Portapottys are still outside and they said yes it’s finished! So to my excitement I said what a way to start off 2020! A new PF I pay for yearly in “maintenance fees” finally paid off! I can’t wait to take my 2020 PF selfies 🤳 ! I grab some of the new paper towels which are extremely annoying because they remind me of toilet paper minus the softness! Go to the stair climber and what’s waiting for me? The same stair climber that was there before I left! 🤨 this has to be a cruel joke I thought! A new gym with old machines is like putting new clothes on a dirty body. Why Planet Fitness Why!? To make matters worst I said after using these machines at least the massage area looks brand new! I can at least finish on a relaxed note. I walk into the waiting area and I hear this loud running water sound. Not realizing it was their attempt of making the waiting area sound tranquil I immediately thought that maybe one of the managers wore a mic and forgot to turn it off while draining the weasel. Well I was obviously wrong! But it made since! Maybe the portapottys were used so they can get a recording to use for the massage area and put it on repeat? Talk about pissing on our heads and calling it rain! All jokes aside! Planet fitness making more space to make more money makes sense. But the least you can do is put in new machines! Happy New Year! Ps, the planet fitness on Frankford ave is smaller but has brand...

I WONT RECOMMEND THIS GYM TO ANYONE I HAD A VERY TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. Last week someone stole my gym bag from the gym locker got my car keys got into my car and took my work bag and stuff from inside my car. When I asked for a manager at that time there was no manager and she refused to come to the gym even though the cops was there. She told me to come the next day. Next day after my work when I called her she told me she gotta leave at 5pm and told me to come before that. She was arguing with me stating that she cannot wait for me. Then after the argument she told me she can give me 30 mins to check the cctv footage and cops have to be there. The staff is not cooperative and you literally wont get any help and NO SECURITY in this gym. SO YOU PUT YOUR LIFE IN RISK WHEN YOU GO TO PLANET FITNESS. And most of the time the paper towels are not stocked up and most of them are empty so hygiene is also a question. VERY BAD!!! Giving the response that you are not responsible for the locker room and the car parking questions about the SAFETY IN PLANET FITNESS. You gave CCTV cameras in the gym still when an incident happens you are not willing to provide access and drop in upon the police when this happened in your premises. What if someone is shot inside the gym. Still you guys wash your hands and say the simple quotes to CALL THE POLICE. Overall PLANET FITNESS IS BAD and not at all a secure place to go. I believe the manager at that time who is not there now she is the one who took my stuff that's why she refused to come to the gym when the incident happened and I. Cctv footage I saw her carrying a large tray bag. So beware of the staff...

As a former employee this establishment is the worst to workout and work. The management is the worst. I used to work overnight and I would workout during my break at 3:00 AM(eventhough it's only 30 minutes and there's no one at the gym) a little later the manager called me and said that I can't workout anymore and she had to valid point to prove when I asked why. I even asked her that can I lockout for an hour as my break and she still said no and her words were "working out is not a valid reason for you to clock out for break". Couple days later I bought this up and one of the key values planet fitness goes by is to motivate people and what is a better way to motivate people by showing yourself as an example.. the Assistant manager words were "well in another universe it might be possible but not here" She also said that "When new customers walk in and they see a muscular person up front, they will get intimidated and it's bad for the business." That's literally body shaming people especially the employees who is trying to be healthy, and I was wondering to myself as what happened to the "no judgment free zone" that PF is going by... and that was the last thing for me and I quit. A couple days later when I came in during regular hours to workout, instead of downgrading my membership, they canceled it entirely. That is such a immature thing for a management to do. I'm not even sure how they go into a position as they're in now. They already have bad reviews about them couple of comments down. Please don't come here as long as they're the managers. They don't know how to treat their employees or the...
