I moved to the states in 2023 and joing LA Fitness off the bat but found that it was an environment I didn't feel comfortable in. After joining Planet Fitness on a whim and attending for the first time last night, I feel like I have made the right choice. It was easy to sign up and navigate on my own, the gym was fairly open for the equipment I wanted to use, and I felt safe as a female going at night. I feel like this is the environment I need to kick-start my healthy lifestyle again!
All and all experience is very positive. Way too many ellipse machines.
They take up space and nobody uses them..This is the big one though. You have to find a way to create more space around the dumbbell area. It becomes crowded even when only a handfull of people are there.I have been in the gym when it was nearly empty and still not a lot of room. That is a very popular area in the gym. I almost think putting that equipment ( dumbbells and alike ) in one of those offshoot rooms along the one side of the gym. I speak of the clinton township facility
The facility is clean and well stocked. The employees are easy to find and are ready to answer and all questions. I never have to waitmore than a few minutes for any of the machines, as they have many duplicates, nor for the tanning beds or hydromassage beds. I'm here 3-4 days a week, and have had an issue with anything, or anyone. Even the others who are working out are willing to spot or help you, if you just ask, or obvious you need some help. All in all, a great place, with great people and equipment
