Planet Fitness — Local services in Waldorf

Mind blown!!! went here on a Sunday, for the first time ever.

I needed an emergency gym because all my regulars didnt open til at least 0800. All I can say is, how can you call this a gym? The front desk was cool enough to let me workout for free because I was interested, after I asked about a day pass. I'm so glad I didnt buy one! I wouldn't have bought a pass if it was a penny. After I walked around the gym to checkout the equipment, I couldn't find the bench press.

I smiled and asked two guys who were doing bicep curls, and they laughed at me saying "bench press?". It was at that moment I realized I was in a pathetic adult daycare center masquerading as a gym. I noticed the ridiculous "judgement free zone" propaganda, the asinine "lunk" alarm, the lack of any strength training equipment, the "Monday night pizza" and "Bagel mornings", a free BUCKET of tootsie rolls at the front desk.

I worked hard to get the body I always wanted. Pizza, tootsie rolls, and bagels are exactly the obstacle to such a thing. This place is diabolically deceptive.

it is so obvious what's going on here. The business model is simple. "offer a price thats low, so people will join; Keep them from getting in shape, discourage advancement". The sheer hypocracy of "judgement free zone" is evident by the "lunk" alarm. Seriously!? How can such weak pathetic snowflakes dare call this a gym?

NO ONE, and I repeat NO ONE, will ever achieve any significant strength gains from this baby center. Yes it's obvious I won't be back. The main reason I'm so upset, is because I thought it would be a great gym to join so I could rotate another gym into my workout regimen. I guess if all I ever wanted was cardio, maybe. Or if I wanted to maintain a Walmart body.

If you are considering a membership here, know this. Cardio is 80% of their equipment. Cardio NEVER gets you lean or strong. In fact, cardio will bring you to a plateau, and keep you there faster than lifting free weights without ever increasing the weight. Pushups at home will get you more results than this place. Sordidly...

I have been coming to this gym on and off for the past 10 years. This time around of me having my membership with this location since March of this year has indeed been the worst. The younger staff is rude and has no professionalism whatsoever. They are disrespectful to people at the desk as well as on the phone. The renovation process was horrible and honestly didn’t improve the gym. I feel it’s lacking more now than prior. The space feels tight and cramped, you removed a lot of the machines that people actually used and didn’t even place them with newer machines or equipment.( ex. Assisted pull up machine) No emails was sent out to members stating that over the renovation period, we could go to the laplata location. Now the upsetting thing is that not only were we not notified, we were still charged for the entire month when our home location was closed for 3 of the 4 weeks during the Reno, the laplata gym hours are not the same as the Waldorf location, the Reno was still going on when they reopened, and yet again equipment was not in positions to be used or were removed entirely. The billing and payment is trash! 🚮 I know payments come out automatically but I’m mostly upset that I referred someone to this gym and you get one month free. They used my one month free the month they were closed for 3 weeks out of the month! When I contacted the manger about this, they did nothing to fix the issue. I would like to have my one month referral award during a month you’re actually opened!!! This was literally it for me

I would cancel my membership if this wasn’t the only gym in Waldorf that is opened before 5 am on weekdays. That is literally the only reason I stay. But honestly I’ll probably cancel in the new year because this gym just keeps playing folks more and more as...
