Planet Fitness — Local services in Streetsboro

2019 or so:

Great staff. Great selection weight machines (best reason to come here). I do not like the cardiovascular with only a few programs, and no keypads (good for beginners though). TVs for every cardio machine, but remotes do not work with them (use the buttons on the side). The shopping area parking lot is too dark at night.

UPDATE September 2025

This place has really gone downhill. Years ago, I left Stow for here when Stow seemed to be 85% cardio machines. The Streetsboro experience was great. Better machines.

It started to go south. No selfie signs appeared. Yes, on the day that sign went up, my sarcasm made sure I took a selfie with that sign over my shoulder. Next, other signs threatening membership appeared when the management claimed selfie signs were being yanked off the wall. I soon found myself return to Stow.

Later, the news suggested a car jacking in the Streetsboro parking lot, and no weapon signs appeared at the Streetsboro club. Feel safe walking to your car at night?

Today, I visited Streetsboro to see if it had changed. Not for the better, that's for sure. No truck parking signs. No public restroom signs. Still no weapon signs. Multiple "you only get one warning signs" in the club.

When I have visited other Planet Fitness to look around, all I had to do was scan my Planet Fitness app. This was not the case today. Escort required.

Planet Fitness is mostly an easy going place. This is not the case here. Bad location. Bad policies. If I live a block away, I am driving to a...

Bryant at Streetsboro is a fitness saver. I am grateful that this location finally got a trainer. After the Kent location lost Kate, I floundered. My reasoning for joining Planet Fitness was based on having the trainer to hold me accountable and to workout with others. Covid sent my job home full time. Having a trainer and classes, my time at the gym gives me the sense of team effort, support, human interaction, and encouragement. It is more than just using the machines and doing what I can. I have been working out with Bryant both one on one and in group sessions for a few weeks. I am very pleased with his routines, occasional on the fly changes, and his alternate exercises when someone has limitations. I know of at least 4 others that have transferred their home gym to Streetsboro from Kent since Kate’s leaving. She was an amazing trainer and her decision to move on did not come easily. We all understand that she needed to go where she could earn a wage that supports the cost of living for a family. It is my hope, as well as many others, that Bryant is recognized and acknowledged by your organization as he is by those of us that appreciate his help. If I wanted to work out alone or via an app I could save my money, stay home and use the equipment I own. I enjoy the Planet Fitness experience over many other gyms I have gone to. The equipment and facilities are on a higher level. Having the ability to visit other gyms while I am traveling is a...

I have been going to this gym for 3 years with no issues. The New general manager at this gym is constantly is harassing people as they workout . I was given a warning on wearing crocs she then kept following and watching me through the gym and many others around corners came up to me a staggering 3 more times at one point physically poking my shoulder during a set . (Every interaction was extremely rude and spoke as if she was a teacher and I was a child )despite still being calm she came up to me again After saying I was kicked out for wearing crocs . All in the same day! I was not the only customer being harassed by this woman she was coming up and yelling at many others . When I politely asked what her name was and her position and I would like to not be apart of a gym where I cannot focus in . She replied by dangling her General manager keys in my face asking what that says and was bragging about knowing the owner and nothing can happen to her . The most insane reaction I’ve ever had with a human being . She then refused to let me cancel . On the way out came yelling NO . Which in turn finally agitated me . Highly recommend to let go this general manager. She has no idea about anything gym related in her life or the dangers of distracting someone lifting heavy . Talks down to people and should be replaced with someone with more of a customer service...
