Planet Fitness

Planet Fitness, home of Big Fitness Energy™, is a gym with over 2,400 locations. A reviewer describes it as a "not bad starter gym" with fair cleanliness. The gym is appreciated for being always clean, affordable, and having friendly staff. Members enjoy the tanning beds, contrast therapy machine, and hydro massage, which contribute to a positive experience. The gym is especially suitable for cardio enthusiasts and beginners or intermediate exercisers. Equipment maintenance has improved, and staff members are helpful and engaged. However, the hours are not 24/7, with weekends opening at 7 am and Monday at 5 am, though staff usually arrives on time. Some equipment, like barbells for squatting and deadlifting, is missing, which is understandable since it is not a specialized weightlifting gym. The facility is rarely crowded, and the free massage chairs are a favorite feature. One suggestion is to upgrade the water fountains to better accommodate water bottles, as the current older models require bottles to be laid to the side while filling. Overall, the gym provides a friendly environment with a focus on cardio and wellness activities.
