Unfriendly staff
The customer service skills of the early morning staff at the Planet Fitness in Clinton Township Michigan leaves a lot to be desired. It's rare that they are at the front desk if you have a concern and when they are the level of customer service is extremely poor. I do understand that bubbling over with enthusiasm isn't a criterion for the front desk, but...
Read full review of Planet FitnessAbby the Area Manager
Abby from Planet Fitness on bonita beach road is always so direspectful and has no customer service skills all she does is be mean
Not helpful and always has her boyfriend around at work while people are waiting for her help.
She is rude when you ask her a question and says false informations i had two problems with her already i had to cancel my membership twice going to the gym for a while already
And she always give me.prpblems and false information. I believe she should be fired because that is no way to treat a client.
Very dissapointed in her and the treatment i get from an area manager makes planet fitness look bad.
Membership cancellation
I started a membership back in October or November of 2022, I went a couple of times and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately six days before Christmas I lost my Dad, on top of that my Grandmother was sent home with hospice and needs someone with her constantly which is myself that takes care of her. I called and explained the situation as to what had happened...

My husband who is a stage IV cancer patient went into the Nine Mile club in Pensacola to cancel his membership. It was not cancelled but put on hold, which is not what he asked for at the time of cancellation. They started taking the fees out again, so he went back to the club to cancel only to be told the computers were down, twice in a week. They were...
Read full review of Planet FitnessFox news
How is it that all the channels from planet fitness tune in to fox news? I have been a black card member since you guys opened here in Columbus GA, I get tired of seeing Fox News on all TVs. Do Fox News own Planet Fitness? TVS should be at least 50-50. Political views should not be forced upon people that do not want to listen to it or hear it. What does that say about planet fitness?
Desired outcome: would appreciate a response: Cheyenne [protected]@yahoo.com
I believe I was targeted by a customer service representative
Hello Planet Fitness,
I encountered a situation on July 31st, 2023 at 6:00 a.m. where a customer service representative at the Albany, Georgia location made my unexpected interaction a very trumatic experience. I felt as though I was targeted by this customer service representative. Upon entering the Albany Georgia Planet Fitness location, I was experiencing technical difficulties with the "app" being able to stay open for me to check in. I didn't think that it was a big deal, but upon attempting to proceed into the facility, the attendant that was not behind the counter when I entered the facility, came out from a room behind the check in location and stated that they saw on the camera that I had not checked in correctly. That in itself is strange because most customer service representatives are behind the counter at any given time throughout the day, if not out and visible in the gym area on break eating the lunch. The attendant at this time was very adamant on being rude and stated that I would have to go outside and refresh the app to check in. As told to do so, I proceeded out of the facility into the parking lot area and refreshed my phones screen and app to log in. As usual my app proceeded to the check in screen and the gears started moving. When I entered the facility for a second time to log in, again no one was behind the counter. I placed my phone over the check in scanner and heard the beep as I normally do confirming that I had checked in. As I proceeded into the facility, the previous attendant again came to me stating that I had not checked in. I told her that I had just heard the beep and I did check in. I did not have a screen to view as the customer service attendant was looking at something that I did not have access to. The customer service attendant stated that after telling me that I did not check in, now it showed that my access was declined. I had been frequenting this location for well over a month and had never before exceeded any check in protocols. I had just come back from the beach and did not think about any issues occurring while attending a location other than my McDonough location in the Metro Atlanta area. The rude and aggressive nature of the customer service representative at this location along with them "giving me the hand" stating that this was their way of telling me that they were "Done talking to me", was unprofessional and unnecessary. The attendant also threatened to send an erroneous report against me to my home location. I am not threatened by this individuals "lies" and disrespect. I also know that this nature was in direct opposition to "Planet Fitness" motto of a "Non Judgmental Zone". This is just a fraction of the report that I am submitting before I forward to the local press.
Assaulted by staff
I was approached by a staff saying that I need to put my bag away in a locker instead of beside me, I said I do not have a lock at the moment so she said this time is fine but next time I need a lock. Within 5 minutes the manager came to me and said I need to Put my bag away or leave, I tried to tell her that her previous staff said it’s fine for today, she...
Read full review of Planet FitnessI joined and then cancelled - and still got charged
I joined mid-May of 2023, to try out PF, with the introductory fee. - at the local Gym in Hendersonville, North Carolina.
My doctor in the meantime, recommended I do physical therapy instead.
So when I tried to cancel my membership, I still got charged the yearly fee.
I sent a letter to the local Gym, to finalize the cancellation AND sent a Registered letter to Planet Fitness in New Hampshire of my desire to get a refund AND please Cancel. IT was returned.
I just found out, that the address listed on PF's website was wrong.
Did you just recently move?
Barbara J Leo

Desired outcome: I'd like my yearly refund!
Machinery mix
This is not so much a complaint as a request. there appears to be an over abundance of cardio equipment compared to weight training equipment. I will use the gym I go to as an example. there are two cable crossover stations that are constantly in use, one fly machine that has people waiting for it, one seated curl and preacher curl machines that are hardly...
Read full review of Planet FitnessPersonal trainers/classes
6 years ago I was a member of the Planet Fitness in WacoTX. I was able to schedule a 30 minute 1 on 1 with a personal trainer to go over my health, my goals and find out what was the best workout strategy for my goals. I have recently joined the same Planet fitness in Waco TX and was surprised to find out that personal trainer appointments are no longer a thing. There is a "Fitness Instructor" that has direct your own program classes. This to me is a problem on several fronts.
1) these classes during the evening (After I get off work) are few and far between and are always FULL The classes during the day are usually open but then again I am AT WORK! (There are no weekend classes.)
2) I am told it is a basic group class structure which leads me to believe that is is just generalizations on how to plan your own program.
Why were the signups for individual trainers discontinued? I really prefer the firsat meeting with a trainer or fitness instructor to be a one on one because everyone has different goals and needs as far as thier fitness and lifestyle is and what they hope to accomplish.
If there is any way to get a one on one in my local club (ASAP) I would re3ally like that opportunity. Please help me to accomplish what I want to accomplish.
Desired outcome: A personal 1 on 1 session with a trainer/ personal fitness instructor at the Waco TX center wat a time that is convenient for me (Monday -Thursday 5 pm ) by This coming Thursday 7/27/2023 so I can focus on my goals
Membership cancellation
My ex wife got a job at my gym in Langley bc Canada. The manager called me and said I said something rude to her even though the cameras show I never spoke to her. Then They called my fiancé and said she was the one who said something even though the cameras show there was no contact. We joined planet fitness for its convenience of 24/7 and its gym policy of no judgement and helpful atmosphere. So far we’ve had our characters defamed and basically told we are not allowed to fix our health issues there because a staff member falsified a claim and the video proves it. Planet fitness Langley does not stand behind the planet fitness values and we will be taking this matter to the courts.
Desired outcome: I would like my and my fiancé memberships reinstated and a formal apology from the person who fabricated the claim against us.
Langley, BC Branch
Good morning. On, 07/16/2023 @ approximately 9:50amPST, myself, daughter and boyfriend had finished out workout, and proceeded to the black card member room which we do following every workout. There was a new staff member whom had been transferred and was helping my daughter and I check in. Another staff member then came up and told us we needed to scan...

Morning of July 8 2023. Morning of July 10 2023. I am experiencing gossip, I believe, about myself at this location. I am a man in my 50's that works out everyday. I seem to be singled out by some staff members, and friends of their's, on the floor, for some reason. Constantly being started at in a bullying fashion, by others on the floor. Had my workout...
Read full review of Planet FitnessUnethical charges
My daughter opened up a contract for her daughter last year at Noordheuwel.. she does not work and has not for over 6 years, but Planet Fitness accepted her application, with no Employer confirmation, with no proof of banking of 3 or more months except for the Capitec acc she opened with only the amount to open this contract. No background check was done. But you all okayed it! My daughter is an addict and now she has left and we do not know where she is... and my granddaughter is getting messages to settle a bill of R463.84 re LC814328. SHE IS 15 YEARS OLD a school child. I called Noordheuwel last year explaining the situation and was told I must not worry. Now we are receiving this. It is not acceptable.
Your staff should not be in a hurry to get a contract signed but do proper background checks.
Desired outcome: I would like this contract terminated as requested numerous times. and monies owing to be deleted off your books. You cannot hold a 15 year old responsible for an irresponsible adult or staff.
Untrained staff

I paid for Friday, Saturday and...

I’ve been a member for 3years at the same location. I have the black card and have the same guest every time (my daughter). Today i was questioned as to why my daughter isn’t registered? She is.

Inappropriate activity on massage bed
On July 2, 2023 at 10:45pm at the Penn Hills location, I was in the chair massager having massage. A white woman & black man enter the massage area & lay on the hydro massage bed TOGETHER! They were on the bed for approximately 10 minutes. She had her left leg up & the man was on top of her other leg. He was touching her in a sexual way. I went to the front...
Read full review of Planet FitnessBusiness model
Good Morning,
My name is Mark Wandel. I have a "subscription" at the Canton Michigan location. I activated the account in January and have been charged $75 ($25 per month for months january, February, and March) and because of circumstances with my work habmvent been able to actually get in to utilize the program. I contacted the location today since I am going to be able to actually start a work out schedule now and they state that even tho I have never stopped into the establishment I owe over $100 in fees to be current for the months I didnt not use the membership. As I stated...I already paid $75 for months not used. I have no I mentions of paying more for service I never received. This cannot be the business model...but I see that it is. The paying customer that doesnt use the equipment and the establishment is valued because it's free money. Maybe more so than customers that come in to use the machines. What I would like is for planet fitness to waive the late fees and the months I have not used the service...wipe the slate clean, and allow me to move forward from this month. I'll forfeit the $75 paid already. No issue there. But this can not be the way you treat customers...this isnt a winning strategy to essentially say to a paying customer that either you pay for services you didnt use or you can not pay for future use. I am excited to hear back from you. [protected]
Desired outcome: Erase the past due and let me start my membership from july forward.
