At first I didnt mind this gym and I didnt mind the price I thought it was very fair. Than they remodeled and 90% of the equipment became cardio like treadmills and ellipticals and made it impossible to get on any weight machine or bench because they are always packed with people. After a while too I started to feel like the "judgement free zone" wasnt so judgment free anymore because anytime i would start to work out really hard I would just have people staring at me like I wasnt suppose to be there because I was being a "lunk" or "gymintating" as PF likes to call it. So at this point I felt Ill just move on to a new gym and cancel my membership here. Well in order to do that I have to pay a $58 cancellation fee for the more expensive $20 black card membership while the $10 membership you can cancel at any time no cost and also that cheaper membership doesnt have an annual fee of $40. Speaking of that annual fee which I thought they were gonna charge right away and on the anniversary of my membership was actually charged on a month of their choosing which just so happened to be in October which they did not inform of. So now Ill recap: Pro. Not a bad price for what you get. (If you get the $10 a month plan that you can cancel anytime you want with no fee) Cons: 1. 90% of the equipment is cardio machines which makes it hard to do anything lifting related. 2. If you actually want to work out hard you will be judged in the "judgment free zone" 3. Annual fees are taken out at a time of their choosing and they dont care to tell you when that is. 4. Must pay to cancel a membership that you already pay more for than the cheaper one which is backwards from any other membership I have ever heard of. End Opinion: Planet Fitness is a hypocritical gym and I will never go back even if it was free.

This is a good place for the average persons fitness needs. Its also good for above average needs. Reasonable prices and a few nice amenities for Black Card members. This is also a great choice if you are looking for national access to gyms. However, if you are an advanced athlete, or looking to be very hardcore this place *may* not totally suit your needs. If you are local, I suggest browsing around a bit. While this is a reasonably priced gym with a *good* variety of equipment; we have a lot of excellent choices in town, depending on your needs and budget. The Black Card is worth the bump IMHO as you can bring a guest whenever you like (nation-wide) and gain access to massage tables, massage chairs, and tanning beds, as well as discounts on *some* merchandise. Low pressure attitudes and fairly good and varied classes are available to all members as well. Well-kept lockers/bathrooms with showers too. However, I wish their filtered water dispenser dispensed cooler water. Lastly, Google Maps provides excellent live data for how busy the place is. Although, Ive rarely had to wait for most of equipment Ive used. Free trainer available for group classes and workout planning. I was pretty impressed with the trainer. He definitely knew his stuff and could tailer exercises to be harder and suit specific needs. Also, he was attentive to all members of the class and gentally pushing me to do my best. Bring a drinking cup ;). Good place to strive to do your body good "Tumbs Up"

Im an OTR driver who uses PF locations all over the country. In town for a few days, I was apprehensive after reading some of the negative views, here. Im on the road for several weeks at a time, & need these gyms to stay healthy. The verdict? Some people just like to complain... This location is clean (bathroom couldve been a bit cleaner, but was fine), has all standard weight & cardio machines, & is staffed by friendly folks. The machines are in like-new condition. I use PF locations all acrossed the country. Ive seen nicer ones, but also plenty of ghetto ones, too. This site is a bit crowded, in places (lots of machines crammed together), but not overly so. My one gripe: some weight machines are placed right in front of treadmills. That means that anyone on a treadmill while sick (including asymptomatic), will be spraying their filth all over you :-/... I dont go to gyms to get sick, or fight w/stupid people who dont properly cover their coughs. I only hope the gym remains almost empty during early AM hours. If I lived here, this one thing could easily become a deal-breaker for me. Other than that, its a fine gym.

Its very cheap membership and because of that, dont expect much from it. Some of the staff are friendly because its required. Others seem to hate working there. Its generally clean. The whole judgement free mentality is good for public relations, but its a gym. Have more mirrors and more free weights. They have signs by the locker rooms saying cell phones are prohibited, but then they display pictures of members who obviously took their selfish photos in the locker room. If youre looking for a cheap membership, definitely check this place out.

I like the perks of the gym of being a black card member. The only down part about this gym is that there is no place to weight yourself and keep track that way its easier for members to reach goal. every gym ive been to has one but for some odd reason this one doesnt. good part is they have great massage beds, chairs and their beauty angel is great.. towels would be nice too for those who forgot instead of spending $14.99 on 1 towel.

I have been going to this gym for several years. I have always been impressed with how clean it is and how friendly the help are. There is plenty of equipment and I have never had trouble finding a machine to work on. I dont know where else I could get this kind of workout for $10.00 a month! I dont want a pool so Im happy I dont have to pay for something I would never use like I need to at other gyms.

I love this place! It may not have all the free weights Id like or a squat rack but this place provided me with the tools to help me lost 85lbs. The staff was always friendly and the members Ive never felt out of place by. Theres a couple that are bobbleheads but youll expect that from ANY gym. This place is amazing. My only regret is not having the time Id like to go as much as Id like!

I love this gym. I just dont like some of the other members there. The guys are very uncomfortable to be around, they are always staring at me and they take over the benches area. Hard to feel relaxed and comfortable in that area. But I love everything else. I pay $20 for the black card and I think its worth every penny.

I love the fact it is so cheap. Been going to PF since 2009. I just moved to Fargo and transferred my membership. Still very pleased with this gym. It would be nice to have some other amenities besides machines and free weights. It would be great if they offered cheap classes as well.
