Planet Fitness

SHOWERS Lot of fine things about this gym, but I was just there to take a SHOWER, using their 1-day free pass. The service was fine and the whole place was clean, but I'm just reviewing the Shower: - 3 stalls - 1 stall had no shower head (stolen?) - 1 stall had no hang-up hook outside the stall where you can hang your pants and wallet (want to keep an eye on them if you didn't come with at lock to lock your stuff up in one of their lockers (good idea to bring a lock)). - the 3rd (out of 3) stall was fully functional. - the drain didn't work 100%, but at least the shower pan didn't overflow onto the floor. The water backed up about 1/2-3/4 inch deep in the shower pan. - disco music ran mindlessly the whole time - only felt scared once when loud teenagers were making noise elsewhere in the locker room. - the changing stalls has 3-foot stools. How are you going to tie your shoes when sitting on a 3-foot stool? Maybe they want you to change out by the locker (bring a lock); maybe there are proper benches there. - the place was clean (good), except for some 'accumulation' on the shower drain. (Maybe bring your own handful of paper towels to empty the shower drain before shower?) It takes some getting used to, but for a 1st time ever, it went reasonably well and would use again if didn't have a home shower to use. (There are a lot of people in the Van Life/RV community that use Planet Fitness to take showers at.)

Just would like today express my gratitude for management at this location. He has been such an amazing person with when I first came in to the gym till I left the gym. I believe his name is Aaron. He walked me through every step to being a member, to working till I left. He answered all my questions and concerns. He made me feel welcomed and comfortable and wanted in such a very little time. I'm grateful for people like him! Thank you to PF for giving us amazing workers. I do have a small concern to the gym not having a fitness trainer but Aaron did explain the app and options on the app for the virtual trainers and workout classes. This gym and the atmosphere has really been better then my time at blink. Thank you.

By far the worst gym I have ever been to. This place has a high theft issue. They encourage their customers to bring locks to keep their belongings safe but 90% of their lockers are broken making it impossible to secure their belongings. I noticed they also have a rodent issue, this past week there were multiple sightings of roaches in the locker room making it unsanitary and uncomfortable to be in. Furthermore, the staff has a time and attendance issue where the gym has not opened on time on multiple occasions.

Planet Fitness in Sunset Park is an affordable, convenient place on Fifth Avenue to workout. The hours are amazing, it opens early and closes pretty late. For $20 a month you can bring a guest every time. It’s much cheaper than the Y or Crunch, and the guest policy is very generous. The gym is clean and has a variety of machines available. I love the bikes with videos of biking trails. The staff are friendly and helpful. The only thing I would change is that even with black membership, you have to ask staff at the front every time you want to use the massage chairs, and they only give you a small amount of time to use them, even if the gym is empty. They should allow you to swipe your card at the machine or give you more time to use them. Thank you for considering this idea, and creating a great space to workout. I love coming here.

Overall this planet fitness is very good environment. Offering a variety of equipment and lots of spacing. The only thing is that most of the time it’s always packed which makes it hard to find equipment without having to wait for quite a some time . But the place is very clean and well organized.
