Not good that you’re paying extra and the hydromassage beds and other amenities aren’t working

OK, the gym in Hanson ma is lovely..
However, all of a sudden the Hydro Massaage beds are down. And they’re not able to get maintenance out there to fix them. What’s the point of having the black card if all of the extras are down. I also noticed because of the large number of people who use both the planet fitness in Hanover and the one in Hanson that the machines get broken. I totally understand that but they should be fixed right away. The other Jim, I used to go to in Kingston always had somebody on it almost immediately. Come on people you can do better but especially if you’re going to offer those massage tables and Hydro massage beds. You need to have them up and running for the people that are paying for it so get on this place and get on it now.

Planet Fitness no longer takes cash..Sigh :(

I recently went to my local Planet Fitness which I have been a customer for years. I wanted to purchase an item behind the counter but was told they no longer accept cash, only digital payments. Well, basically I will no longer be purchasing anything inside Planet Fitness if I even choose to maintain member ship status. I will bring my own water, and/or tanning supplies. They will be getting zero $0 add-ons from this customer. I'm extremely disappointed in this company. I'm already sharing my frustration with whomever want to listen. One of my room mates, a female says she cancelled and is inquiring at Club Genesis for an alternate workout place. It is quite likely I may do the same.

Planet fitness - St. Vital

My hubby and I have been black card members at Planet Fitness for 5 years. We used to go to the Regent Avenue location. We moved about a year ago and now go to St. Vital location. This is a newer location and it's a lot nicer than the Regent location. After we work out my hubby and I like to do the massage chairs at the same time. The staff are so amazing and will hold a chair until the other is done, if one is in use. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The change rooms are nice and kept clean. It's nice to get a "Goodbye, have a good night" every time we leave. I would recommend this location.

Jack & Elijah

First and foremost, I haven’t been to the gym in months due to a broken arm 💪🏼! That being said I absolutely appreciate & love the staff especially Jack! He greeted me & welcomed me back like I never left & for someone like myself. It’s very difficult to even go to the gym, convey overwhelming, especially when you take time away bc I lost the motivation. There’s a new staff member who welcomes me right away, Elijah, who Is extremely knowledgeable when it came to answering my questions regarding protein, drinks, and basically coming back to the gym. Thank you so much.❤️

I will be canceling my membership due to the fact that they let men into the the women’s locker room that is disgusting how could anybody do that and make these women feel so uncomfortable? What kind of company would have a policy like that?

Disappointed

My family and I have been loyal customers of PF for years, and I’ve always appreciated the convenience and flexibility of your locations. Unfortunately, my recent experience left me very disappointed.

I was only able to use my membership twice before I had to move. During that short time, I was charged two monthly membership fees as well as the annual fee. I canceled before my next billing cycle, but because the cancellation was made one day after a separate cutoff date, I was still charged for another month. I called the corporate office and was basically told "well, that's too bad"

I understand policies are in place, but I had hoped there would be some consideration given my long history as a customer and the fact that this was a unique situation, not a repeated complaint or issue. A small courtesy adjustment would have gone a long way, especially during a difficult time financially and personally.

I stayed with PF primarily because of the ease to start and continue, and accessibility of the locations, even though the gym itself did not offer the fitness classes I prefer. I had fully intended to restart my membership once I got settled after moving, but this experience has completely changed my perception of the company and made me feel like customer loyalty is not valued. Sad they care more about keeping my mere $70 than about my years of customer loyalty and the business I brought from my family. Going to another gym.

Tre and Taylor are always incredibly…

Tre and Taylor are always incredibly attentive and welcoming, making every customer feel right at home without ever feeling pressured. Their positive energy and friendly attitudes motivate me to keep showing up and pushing through my workouts. Whether it’s first thing in the morning or later in the afternoon, seeing their faces always brightens my day.

They’re not only helpful to members, but also supportive team players with their coworkers. Tre and Taylor are truly a huge asset to the Planet Fitness team. I’ve been a happy member for many years, and experiences like this are exactly why I keep coming back.

Black Card Well Worth The Price

As a black card member, I've had the opportunity to visit six different Planet Fitness locations in my area, and the Vernon Hill, IL club is by far the best.

The equipment is modern, up to date and extremely well maintained. The gym offers a great variety of equipment, including free weights, and it never feels overcrowded. The locker rooms are spacious, very clean, secure and provide plenty of safe storage for personal belongings. Parking is ample and very convenient.

What truly sets this location apart though, is the staff. Every employee is knowledgeable, friendly, professional and always willing to help.The entire facility is consistently immaculate, and you can tell management takes pride in maintaining high standards.

I especially want to recognize Brandon, Hunter and Heather for their consistently positive attitude, professionalism and outstanding customer service.

As someone who has worked as a corporate trainer in customer service, I tend to be extremely observant and have very high standards. Because of that background, I can honestly say this location does a tremendous job training and developing its employees. It shows every time you walk through the doors.

I highly recommend Planet Fitness, especially this Vernon Hills location. Go with the black card, the spa alone is worth the price you pay.

Staff is generally helpful

Staff is generally helpful. The Pell City location far exceeds the 280 location. Of course, the Pell City location is new. The tanning beds at 280 are old and gross. There is hair sealed into the beds. Even after I clean them they look nasty. When the fan starts up an odor quickly fills the room. One of the beds cuts off at 12 minutes. I reported the problem to staff repeatedly with no resolution. The massage chairs are also old and not very effective.

Niagara falls

I joined planet fitness Niagara falls. I met Nate who absolutely wonderful, friendly,accommodating and I thought to myself well this gym is going to be different from the others. Until today Saturday May 9th I went in and I wanted to use the red light therapy the person behind the desk was very rude he was very annoyed that I didn't finish up my membership which I didn't know I had to do and just overall bad experience with him when he was telling me about my document he never looked at me once he had his head down I could hardly hear what he was saying very rude needless to say I'm thinking of canceling . You want to feel welcome at your gym because we pay their wages without us they would not be standing behind that desk it annoys me immensely that when you're in customer service you should be a customer service person he should not be behind that desk

Stay clear away from this company…

Stay clear away from this company unless you want them to rip you off! Signed up in January of 2026. Injured myself so walked in and cancelled, 2/16/26. They double charged me one on my bank account and the other on my discover. Apparently they were blocked because when Covid hit I was a member and they kept taking my monthly dues out even though gym was closed. So I paid them for the month( actually one time I was there before I got injured). And now they keep charging me saying my membership was closed 3/16/26. Even though I have the contract of the cancellation. But not only the $15 a month but now $35 dollars. Will be taking them to small claims court. For the headache that they have caused plus emotional damages. Do yourself a favor DON’T SIGN UP, RUN!!!!!

Planet Fitness of New Bedford would not give my son a refund on a late fee. First time mistake usually companies or corporations would do that. But not this place. Guess they’re trying to get rich off a 17 year-old bank account. Nice job Planet Fitness of New Bedford do better.

I moved from florida back up to NJ and joined Upper Deerfield Planet Fitness. I believe Carlos is the main manager and I can’t say enough about how awesome he is! He runs the gym so well, it’s always clean, smells clean and he’s very professional and friendly. 2 in my family go there plus myself and we all enjoy U.D. Planet Fitness!

Nest of thirsty birds

I have been working out for over 5 years and I have done both private and public gyms. Planet fitness has always been a nest of birds for me; the men are thirsty and the staff stare and gossip. For example, at the Brampton location near Steeles and Rutherford, the staff members (female) is always chuckling or making a scorning facial expression whenever she sees me. And during my work outs, she always awkwardly watches me. She times my workout. If she see me walking toward the locker room to leave - all of a sudden she would go in there after me to pretend to clean. I had to call her out on it. The other staff members at other Planet Fitness - at Kennedy does the the same gossip b.s. But only its men at that location, targeting and pointing out. Pay attention to the staff.

Long Time Member

Been a black card member for a long time. I've traveled to various locations and they always have the same standards at each location. Great place to get a solid workout and shower!

TOO HOT FOR A PROPER WORKOUT

Even though I had just renewed my annual membership, March 30, I had to cancel. It is way too hot in the gym to work out. The heat fatigues me and I can’t get a proper workout in, and staff at the front desk say they are not allowed to adjust the temperature. I’m a female, but I have to go stand in the doorway of the male bathroom so I can cool off in between my routines. The air coming out of the male bathroom door is nice and cold. I can’t keep doing this. I don’t want someone to think I’m a weirdo so I canceled my membership and I’m looking to see where to go next. I have been a black card member for over a year.
And this is not a one time occurrence.
