Best Gyms with Free Weights near Plantation, Florida

The gym itself is great! It's open 24/7, which I can say is more than most gyms in this location. There are a variety of machines, weights, deadlift spots, etc. The cards and app they provide is also great to make access to the building easy. My biggest issue would be the male staff and their general treatment of you if you're not a girl. They're very dismissive from my experience besides the manager. Also, theres a weird lack of staff past 9pm due to their policy. Without staff they use an automated software to determine if someone snuck into the building with you. The issue is specifically is that the automated software gets it wrong most of the time and threatens you with a $50 fine that you have to attempt to dispute The gym is usually popular but that comes with the downsides of people taking full on photos and videos for their social media right next to you with a professional camera or camera-man. As a normal gym goer it can sometimes be uncomfortable to be around that. But it's usually harmless and somewhat rare I also would say that the bathroom is not always well cleaned. It's usually dirty in terms of toilets

Edited: original review below. I’m increasing this to three stars because the door access has been working the last couple of months. I do think that this is a great gym. Some of the things that I do think could improve our most people do not react their weights if it’s in the women’s area or by the glutes area, and I think that they should have to wipe down the machines versus rag that multiple people use. have been holding off on reviewing to see if the growing pains of opening a new gym would improve. The gym is gorgeous however being unsure if I can get in the door or not is a problem. I would love to stay a member at this gym but won’t be able to if I can’t get in when needed. Luckily when I have gone there are trainers who have opened the door. I drive about 18min to the gym. I am playing a guessing game when I leave my house at 745 if I can get in. I can’t work out during 9-9 staffed hours that’s why I picked this gym. Happy to update this review if the door is fixed and working. I recommend this gym posting on their social media daily updates so it’s clear when members can use the gym and be let in. There are several responses from the gym on one star reviews that the problem has been resolved but it has not been resolved. As of 1/9/24

I visited this gym with my friends before choosing to join. I love that they are open 24 hours and the place is relatively clean. What i do NOT like about this gym is the fact that NOBODY re-racks their weights, and then NOBODY cleans up after themselves!

The gym itself was nice but they sell your personal information. I came for a day visitor pass and the next day I got a lot of texts from various scams and staffing agencies. One company in particular that contacted me was "manpower staffing" a local company in plantation Florida. So if you do decide to go with them just know your info is being sold.

I really have loved this gym so far (staff is friendly) but my issue is currently that the gym is too hot, around 78-82 degrees during winter months so I’m so frightened for summer when outside is in the 90s. Health professionals agree gyms should be between 68-72 so I think it’s an ineffective AC system. This could be understandable if there wasn’t that $50 annual fee for maintenance on top of the monthly fees. The cleanliness isn't what it used to be. There seems to be dust and dirt in more places. I tried a shower due to evening timing and the shower did not drain. I did not have this issue at YouFit. If this is resolved, and sound system lowered to not be so loud with ADS?!? - I’ll be excited to change this review to the 5 stars this gym deserves when I’m not scared of heat stroke, scabbies and having to listen to ads through my headphones during my workout. Attached are photos from mid-March through May, when outside temperature was under 86. The set temperature is under 70, but it only cracked 75 once. Its also cooler upstairs Update 6/6- speaking with gym staff; they are aware of the issue but management seems unable or unwilling to make additional changes. It’s 82 on the AC reader; I’m unable to finish workouts Update 8/20 It was 87 on July 3rd. It was 83 on 8/5. I’ve just been going at night which is still too warm. Will be cancelling once I find my replacement. Disappointing

I like that the gym is clean, the hours I go to are not usually crowded. You have a variety of equipment you can use to work out, most likely cardio machines all around, but still nice equipment to train. I like the staff being nice to people, but please have your employees not bothering people trying to engage in long conversations. The less they talk, the better.

A specific shoutout to Steven for the best customer support! He has no only worked diligently on trying to get all the TV Screens back online, but was a lifesaver today and helping me recover a lost item in the gym. Thanks Steven!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Planet Fitness, all thanks to Steve! His professionalism and friendly demeanor made my visit so enjoyable.

AVOID!!!! ZERO STARS!!! See photos : HOW???!! WHO APPROVED YOUR WOMENS BATHROOM??!!!! clear violation of privacy and it disgusts me to even THINK that other women are being consistently disrespected BY THIS LOCATION!!!! If I cannot walk FROM THE SHOWER/TOILET/and/or CHANGING AREA to my LOCKER without risking my morality THERE IS A HUGE ISSUE!!! God bless you but SOMEONE NEEDS TO HIRE AN HONEST CONTRACTOR TO REPAIR YOUR DEPRAVED LAYOUT MISTAKE

Danny was very amazing and knowledgeable another club wanted me to open a black card with them. But with Danny’s awesome rapport I am definitely staying at sunrise. He deserves a raise and promotion. Thank you planet fitness.

I really like this place. Clean and equipment is all in good repair. People are friendly enough. Nice and empty early in the day. I just wish they had a few more tools like a safety squat bar and lifting strap-friendly bars like a neutral row bar. But really, a good gym.

Overall a very solid place. Large space with many equipments, all in good shape. No issue with other patrons. Bathroom and sauna are clean and in good condition. Plenty of classes. The front desk staff is not nice but not rude either. However the HUGE plus if you are a parent: they have a daycare. Now I must give some warning. It is not a “proper daycare” with trained staff. It’s a room with toys and an adult somewhat supervising. I would not recommend letting your little one in there. Why? I have seen the staff letting a baby on the desk, without supervision. That baby could have crawled away and felt, luckily it did not move. I have also seen small pieces from toys that small ones could choke on. The staff looking after children is nice, BUT they are NOT trained professionals. Overall we are having a good experience with UFC FIT and we recommend them.

Absolutely loved my experience here! Flew down from Tennessee and needed a gym, it did NOT disappoint at all! Tyler was so helpful and made the process so smooth! And the lady who made me the oat milk with chocolate in it even after they were closing it down was an ANGEL 😭💚 If you’re anxious about finding a gym, this one is more than worth a try! Thank you guys!!! (Lola)

I had an outstanding experience at UFC FIT, all thanks to Tyler! From the moment I walked in, Tyler was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure I felt comfortable and confident about getting started. He took the time to understand my fitness goals and customized a plan that was both challenging and achievable. His knowledge and motivation really made a difference, and I could tell he genuinely cares about helping people reach their full potential. The gym itself is top-notch with great facilities, and the community is supportive and energetic. I highly recommend UFC FIT to anyone looking to get fit and improve their overall health—big thanks to Tyler for making my experience unforgettable!

Absolutely fantastic gym! The facilities are top-notch, with state-of-the-art equipment and a clean, welcoming environment. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to offer guidance or support. The variety of classes and personal training options ensure there's something for everyone, regardless of fitness level. I especially appreciate the well-maintained locker rooms and the emphasis on creating a positive, motivating atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to work out!
