In terms of quality and equipment, this gym was sufficient. The interior was probably too colorful and clearly catered to the lowest denominator in terms of fitness, but as that was part of their mission I cannot fault them on this. There was no "reverse discrimination" or lunk alarm business as listed in some other Planet Fitness reviews, but their business practices were/are certainly shady. Stay away from these guys. I moved from upstate New York to Connecticut for an internship and immediately signed up for a monthly membership at Planet Fitness since it was the closest gym to where I lived. I had no problems while I went there. In October of 2011, I was preparing to move back to Rochester, NY so I went to the gym and verbally told the manager to cancel my membership, which he agreed to. I have recently (January 2013) found out that they NEVER STOPPED CHARGING ME, and after multiple phone calls refuse to without meeting in person or receiving a signed letter. This is, again, after cancelling in person and receiving verbal confirmation of that. In other words, I have already performed the action stipulated by them. They continue to refuse to cancel my membership or refund the 15 months of membership fees they have charged since I cancelled.

AN ok gym - good for the price. BUT i had to quit because i was moving away. So I walked in and canceled my subscription. they said "sorry" but that was it. Come to find out almost 2 years later i am reviewing my bank info and find out theyve STILL been taking money every month. This is hundreds of dollars. I call them back, they take the info down. Tell me its taken care of, but they cant refund my money. Fine whatever, Im done with it. Two months later i check and sure enough there STILL TAKING MONEY out of my bank account! When i call them (very angry now) they tell me they would have never done it over the phone - you have to go into the store you signed up at to do it. I told them i live almost 2 hours away and i cant make the ride. Well after talking to the district manager, i FINALLY got it straightened out. But lost hundreds in the process. Im not the only one i have heard from many other people that have had this happen to them too at different locations. My final point: DO NOT GO HERE! Pay the extra 10 bucks and go someplace nicer like LA fitness or whatever you want.

This is the WORST gym- not because of its obnoxious colors but because theyre theives. I walked in wanting to sign up in July but didnt have my debit card. I was assured no action would be taken until I returned to provide my debit card information. The manager had me fill out and sign the entire application (which was stupid on my part- I thought she would actually be an honest person). I had previously been a memeber in the Charleston, SC location and cancelled when I moved here. I never returned to the Bristol location because I changed my mind and didnt want to work out there. Mysteriously my debit card was charged... but I never gave them the number. Pulling my card information without me bringing it in to actually authorize it is called fraud and is illegal. This is worst gym ever and I truly hope they close down. The best part is my bank wasnt even surprised- my rep told me "Yea, Planet Fitness does this a lot but well take care of it for you. We side with our customers."

The Planet Fitness in Bristol is easily one of the best gyms that Ive been to. Heres just a few of the reasons why: 1. Equipment The quality and quantity of the equipment here is fantastic. The machines are all modern, easy to use and adjust, work well, and are always clean. There are at least two of every type of weight lifting machine, so one never has to wait long to train with the machine of their choice. 2. Atmosphere I was skeptical of PFs claim to be the "Judgement Free Zone," at first, but after going there for a few weeks, I can see that they mean it. The gym isnt frequented by bodybuilders or people with a "holier-than-thou" attitude that make those of us who are out of shape feel uncomfortable. In addition, the staff is very friendly, and greets every person who comes in with a smile. 3. Price Who can argue with only $10 / month for a gym membership? And $20 / month gets you half price drinks and access to any PF location in the country. Totally worth the price.

I love the environment! the facility is clean with only occasional untidiness. The staff used to be very bad and you couldnt bother them to greet you or stop texting for a minute but it appears as if the have re staffed. i am only a guest but i come often. I really enjoy the weekend staff! especially the young African american lady. she is very sweet! the rest of the staff is nice too! i highly recommend this gym. the way i see it is yes they have the rules about no grunting or weight dropping( i dont see why one would drop weights anyways) but i see plenty of very fit and athletic people just as much so as would be at other "brand name" gyms and they dont have to be obnoxious. From other comments it says that they believe its a gym for self conscious people...well people have to build confidence somewhere. i think this is the perfect gym for anyone the only reason im giving it 4 stars is because i wish they would expand.

Sometimes gets crowded from 5-7 on weekdays, but other than that its a good place. Has enough weights to build muscle and get stronger.. this coming from an athlete. Enough cardio bikes and tredmills, and good environment. The only bad thing is parking.... behind the gym there is very minimal lighting which I do not feel safe leaving my car there. But there is also parking spaces in the front of the gym.

Always nice to work out here. Even when busy you dont feel crowded. Staff is always nice and the store manager is always willing to work with you whenever there is an issue with your account or billing. I hadnt even started my membership but the staff called him and he allowed me to work out anyways since there was an issue that would require him to resolve. All around a very comfortable place to go!

I highly recommend this Gym. The crew behind the front desk are making it happen. Having managed a climbing gym for four years, the folks that greet you as you walk in the door set the tone for your workout. Kudos to the Bristol PF morning crew, Joe and Amber for that Hi Mike each and every morning.

The space is huge, a lot of equipment (most of them youll have multiples) plus they have a free weight leg press - bit of a rarity among PFs. The usually very friendly staff you can expect from PF and a good mix of crowd. Space is so large even during the busy hour it doesnt feel cramped.
