Planet Fitness

Planet Fitness is a gym that aims to provide its members with a positive and energizing fitness experience. With over 2,400 locations, Planet Fitness is known for its "Big Fitness Energy™," which is designed to help people overcome the "down-and-ugh feeling of too little pep and not enough steps." The gyms are often praised for being clean, spacious, and well-equipped, making it easier for members to work out comfortably. The staff is generally friendly and welcoming, with front desk employees greeting members and wishing them a good workout, which adds to the positive atmosphere. However, some concerns have been noted by members. There have been reports of long wait times for popular machines, and safety issues such as theft inside the locker room, with one member sharing an experience of their lock being broken and their car keys stolen, although the staff was helpful and kind. Additionally, some members find certain features, like chairs and shakers, hard to reserve without being physically present, which can be inconvenient. The indoor environment can sometimes be uncomfortably hot, especially when ceiling fans are not on high, leading members to drive further to other locations with better ventilation. Overall, Planet Fitness remains a good choice for those looking for a spacious and generally clean gym environment, with helpful staff and a motivating atmosphere, despite some safety and comfort concerns.
