The Boss

Planet Fitness in general should be given zero stars. Planet Fitness is a joke. The company model is to just sign up members and sell advertisements. The more members the company can get, the more the company can command for ad revenue. The Planet Fitness in Rockville like other locations are not gyms. Planet Fitness is more of a social gathering for fat, lazy, and old people who pretend to workout. The Rockville location has an older lady who is constantly cleaning machines and dusting. I feel so sorry for the lady, she should get a real job and work for a company that would give her something more constructive to do. For crying out loud, the place is suppose to be a gym not a museum where exercise equipment is used and not admired. The equipment is supposed to be dirty because gym equipment when used is dirty. Taking a paper towel and wiping a machine with a spray is useless.You are only spreading germs. A more constructive way is to wipe the sweat off the machine with a towel as best as you can and then use antibacterial soap to wash your hands to kill the germs on your hands from touching various pieces of equipment. I had my reservations about Planet Fitness but I gave the place a chance and was disappointed. Thus, I have canceled my membership. My advice to anyone who is serious about health and fitness, go to a real gym and talk with real trainers and professionals who care about your success and are not just interested in selling advertisements. If Planet Fitness cared about your success, their $10 model will fail because the place would be overwhelmed. Planet Fitness wants fat people who never show up or old people who come in and sat on a stationary bike and talk about how that hate President Trump and never work up a sweat. This demographic will never sweat, break any of the equipment, and will thereby help Planet Fitness increase ad revenue while maintaining a low operating cost. Total joke and glad to be gone.

I am a Black Card member from North Carolina. I attended this facility on Black Friday. The staff at this facility are very friendly, helpful and professional. At one point, a club member threw his weights on the floor. One of the employees respectfully asked the member to refrain from throwing the weights on the floor. The member became agitated and rude, but the club employee remained respectful and reminded the member of club rules. He handled it very professionally. The layout is different than my home club and a little tight, however, a full selection of free weights and machines are available for a great workout. The only room for improvement I found at this club is the lack of soap dispensers in the showers. Of the seven different Planet Fitness clubs I have attended, this is the only one I have attended without soap dispensers in the shower. That being said, overall, I enjoyed my visit to this club and will make it a regular stop on my visits to Rockville.

Wow. Need to scale down your expectations at this price point. Ive been working out here regularly for several months now. The place is always clean and Ive almost never had to wait for any equipment. If you only go at 6PM on a weeknight...of course its going to be packed (Duh), but, Ive still never had a problem getting to the equipment I needed or getting a good workout. For those considering a gym membership, especially for the first time, this is a very good starting point. Youll find the people (staff and members) to be very pleasant and very few of the weird, vaguely creepy guys who are always hanging around the weight stacks (but never seem to be actually exercising). If you want a bunch of barely attended classes and brand name association, go spend the extra money and join Golds (or whoever). If you want a workout with decent, well maintained, clean equipment and few frills, this is a very good choice.

This place only has barebones equipment like what you would find in your apartment complex but they charge you for it... No freeweights, no classes, only two types of cardio equipment, what a joke... The sales woman said they sign up 1000 people a month. A THOUSAND PEOPLE IN A MONTH! Your club cant house a thousand people a year! This place is brand new but with a 1000 people a month going through it that wont last long! They said I have to mail my cancellation letter to their corporate office in a certified letter. I cant cancel on the phone or even in person at the club but instead I have to get a cancellation form, go to the postoffice and purchase a certified letter to their corporate office! So inconvient! Terrible customer service!

I started going to this location around end of June and since Ive had a pretty good experience. The location is small, but you are able to get all that you need done to have a good workout. The trainer Brian is pretty good as well. My coworkers and I have been going consistently each week taking abs, chest, and circuit classes and its grown in numbers since we have started. Overall, I give the trainer and friendly front desk staff five stars. I just hope they eventually plan to expand the gym in size in the future. They have already taken away a wall that has separated the warm up area by the treadmills and it has opened up more room for us. Looking forward to see what else they have planned.

This is a great basic gym. Lots of equipment options, clean environment, and some nice extras. There are four (not two) types of cardio equipment: treadmill, 2 kinds of bicycles, eliptical, and arc trainer. There are many of each of these, and I rarely have to wait for what I want. There are free weights available, but I prefer the machines. There is a large selection of lifting machines that target many muscle groups. Each machine has a written explanation of how to use it and tells/shows you what muscles are worked. I have the black card membership, which gives me access to tanning, massage equipment, and another beauty treatment I havent used yet. I love this gym.

The Rockville planet fitness is the best location Ive experienced in my time as a PA member. The staff members are extremely personable, professional, and have great customer service skills. They are always striving to keep the gym at its best condition be it daily cleaning, maintenance, daily adequate training of new staff members and fantastic fitness instructors. The gym itself is super clean and has a friendly atmosphere. I would definitely recommend the gym and location to any of my friends interested in joining a gym. My only complaint is that there is no water bottle filler at the water fountain.

You have to understand what Planet Fitness is........and is not, to appreciate it. I have had memberships at many gyms in my lifetime, some hardcore, some not (due to bodybuilding past). Now that I am a lot older, and focus more on cardio, I can appreciate a facility like Planet Fitness. Planet Fitness can become crowded, and the staff should tell the gentlemen that do handstands in the middle of the walkway to cut it out, but otherwise, it is good for what it is. Also, the Black Card is a very good deal. My $.02!

PF is a highly recommended workout venue by this senior citizen. Start here - emphasis on sanitation - good. Over the past year, In a noticeable way I have regained my ability to stand on one leg - good. The quality of machines for working out, extensions, etc., are outstanding - good. There is access to a trainer when you have a question or a special something you want to build - good. After my usual 40 minute workout I sleep better - good. Okay? Five "good" marks - five stars.
