Planet Fitness — Local services in Rutland City

Disappointed with Declining Standards When the Rutland Planet Fitness first opened, it was a fantastic gym—clean, well-maintained, and open 24/7 as advertised. The staff was friendly and attentive, constantly cleaning, running the floor cleaning machine, and keeping the locker rooms spotless. However, over the past year, things have taken a noticeable turn for the worse. Due to staffing issues they are no longer 24/7. They now open at 5AM. Typically the opener arrives 2 minutes before 5AM and doesn’t open the door one second early. Unless it’s a day like today and the opener doesn’t show up at all. It’s incredibly frustrating to plan to start your day at the gym at 5 AM to be met with locked doors and no communication. If an opener doesn’t show, there should be a backup plan in place, whether it’s a manager stepping in or an emergency contact being called to ensure the doors are open at 5AM. Additionally, the cleanliness of the facility has drastically declined. Floors are constantly filthy, especially during the winter months, with salt and debris left for days. Monday morning the trash can in the locker room overflows with paper towels, showers are often dirty, and leftover shampoo bottles and hair sometimes stays in the shower for days. This is a stark contrast to how things were when the gym first opened. While I have shared these concerns with management, nothing has changed. It’s disappointing to see what started so strong decline so much in such a short period. With limited options in our area, I am hopeful our Plant Fitness will find staff that want to work and take pride in their facility and I will happily...

Like a lot of folks in town, it's nice to see a gym that offers so much but doesn't cost an arm and a leg to join. I think it's a great asset to our community. I have noticed two flaws since going. One is an easy fix. There is a Relaxation chair that offers guided meditation, breathing exercises and other guided features. While in it, I could hear the hydromassage bed going off and the fluorescent lights should be dimmed for a better ambiance that reflects what the whole purpose of being there is about. Those seem to be easy fixes, dim the lights and have people go when the hydromassages are not in session. Now the hugest flaw I see which is a major safety risk and as someone who goes much later in the night, the main door is wide open. It is great to be welcoming but that offers no security to patrons as everyone knows the plaza is a very active area which doesn't always invite pleasant interactions. Overall, I am so happy we finally got with the times in our city and love we have a modern affordable gym...

This is the best gym in rutland, equipment for free weights, assisted racks, treadmills, rowing machines, ellipticals, hiit and functional training room with ropes and pull up bars, health and wellness, like hydromassage. It's a good size so even when crowded it feels open and accessible. I have been to 2 other gyms in Rutland that are tiny and way more expensive, go here for any fitness level and access to modern equipment.

I also wanted to add, a lot of the negative reviews seem like people that have a personal problem and would rather complain about being offended than workout, if you enjoy a good workout and aren't a judgemental self absorbed skinbag you will...
