Ive been going here for over a year, some positives and negatives. Unfortunately there are a lot more negatives than positives. Positives: Staff have always been really friendly. Cheapest price of any gym around here, (which it should be.. lol). A lot of equipment to choose from. Open 24 hours. Negatives: Something is always broken, whether that be the cardio machines, water fountains, doors, or other equipment. That is there biggest problem IMO. Its always very dirty in there, staff should clean machines/floors etc. more often. Bathrooms are always disgusting, and half the time paper towels arent in there to dry your hands. Ofcourse they call it "the judgement free zone" but you should expect to be judged by half the douchebags in there everytime you go to workout. The water from the water fountains is always disgusting, 75% of the time the water is warm and 99% of the time tastes like straight metal. Negatives I cant really blame the gym itself for: There are a lot of highschool toolbags that think they are cool and tough, sometimes 4 or 5 of them will be using 1 machine the whole time Im there. You also have those a-holes who bring dumbbells by the mirrors and dont put them back after they are done, or the a-holes who dont throw out there garbage, but staff should be walking around at least every hour to put back equipment in there right places and throw out garbage. There are loads of people, usually older folks who sit on a machine for 20 sets, I mean seriously? Do your 3-4, max 5 sets and move on so someone doesnt have to wait a half hour to use the machine. I gave this an average rating, regardless of how many negatives there are because its cheap, open 24 hours, and the staff is really friendly. Regardless of the negatives, they shouldnt all affect how well your workout is, thats up to you. My workouts are just fine.

I have been a member for two years and never had a problem with the staff. The staff has always been polite no matter what time I come to work out. However, I noticed that the place is not thoroughly cleaned on a daily or even weekly basis. Whenever I worked out I noticed dust in the corners on the floor and trash in the cup holders in the elipticals and treadmills. The womens locker room is ok, but could have more attention paid to them. Another issue that I have is the type of people that work out at this location. A lot of people there dont know anything about gym etiquette, such as not yelling on their cell phone while theyre working out next to someone or using the 30min express work out area properly. There are a lot of young members at this gym like another reviewer pointed out. I stopped going at night because a lot of the younger members are obnoxious in the gym and hang out in the parking lot blasting lousy music. Speaking of the parking, one time I found a used condom discarded on the ground in a spot relatively close to the entrance. The price isnt bad, but I would highly recommend enrolling at another location to avoid the nuances you will encounter at this particular gym.

This is the worst gym in the entire world. I am actually mad that I had to give it one star because it is not even worth that. If you want to get into shape and get strong this is the last place I would workout at. The dumbells only go up to 80lbs, you cant deadlift, which is the best muscle building exercise you can do. Most of the people who workout there are abnoxious high school kids who walk around the place like they are jacked but are actually small and weak. They call it the judgement free zone but I have never been to a gym where I actually feel like I am being judged by every single person around me. If you want to get into shape and be healthier please dont make the horrible mistake of joining this gym!!! If you only want to join it to use the treadmills and cardio equipment, I still urge you to just walk, run, or cylcle outside, and you can do that for free. I rather run outside in 15 degree below zero weather than run on a treadmill at the most evil place in the world called Planet Fitness!

I give it a 3 because it definitely can be worse. Its open 24 hours has enough equipment, most staff is friendly except the guy i assume is the manager, i am not fond of him. But onto the next points, it smells in there, which i expect because its a gym but some of the actual machines i used today smell themselves. Sometimes they feels gross. Locker rooms smell, again seem dirty. Always an odor in the bathroom. While i see people clean the floors of the gym i dont see people clean the bathrooms. Im sure they are cleaned at some point but maybe with all of the people in and out they could be cleaneda little more often. Planning on continuing to go there but if an option that was similar priced came across id definitely consider the alternative.

Im giving it a 3 and not a 2 because its $10 a month. If you like using strictly machines its a good gym but there is no floor space for stretching, free weights, lunges, dead lifts etc. The "free weight" area is taken up my smith machines which are always taken. You have to find a space between machines and people. You have to walk sideways with weights so you dont smack into anyone. The stretching mats accommodate only 3 people at a time. I always feel awkward when trying to find a space to do squats or deadlifts. A couple of times I have circled the free weight area looking for room and then giving up and leaving when there wasnt any.

The bathroom renovation is finally done. Otherwise, as always, at $10 or 20 per month, what is not to like? I go to many PF locations. Here, the machines are all new and top of the line. The layout is good. Contrary to what someone wrote, there is more open floor area for stretching than usual. The cardio area is split up which i think is nice. The freeweight area is fairly spacious compared to some locations. Desk people have been courteous. I havent noticed it being dirty. I dont expect it to be an Equinox or a Rebock or some other highend place that can cost 8 or 20 times as much. Im going to give it all 5 stars.

I was planning on joining this week but wanted to check reviews. I do not like the issues of dirty bathrooms and unsanitary/broken equipment. I am not going to join for friendships with the staff so they are doing their jobs by being nice to customers. There also is not enough information on what is offered once you sin up. Is there anyone there to teach a novie how to use machinery? I can only see photos of equipment. Page needs work and maybe fixing the place up too.. IDK. WIll drop by and see for myself.

I dont like going here but go to spend time with my best friend. They do not fix their equipment. Everyone one is always unadjusted or managed properly. If you tell an employee they will say "oh we will fix it" but before I leave I check to see and they didnt even put a sign on it! The bike always has broken petals. My friend pays for the black card and his yearly fee but I can tell it isnt being used to keep up the equipment at all. Glad I still pay 50 bucks for the YMCA that is always on the up and up.
