I have got excellent trainers since when I joined the gym in 2024. Fred, Morgan and now Jelena. All helped , mentored, trained group of us professionally. I could see significant improvement on overall strength and fitness. I would definitely recommend PF to anyone I know.
It has been great working out at the PF Duluth facility. Crowd size has never been overwhelming and the facility is usually pretty clean (especially compared to Crunch). Two things that would make my experience even better are: more than one Fly/Delt machine and fixing broken equipment within a few days - not weeks. Because of the size of this PF, when one piece of equipment is broken, it does make it more challenging to use the one that is working.
The quality of the the gym is determined by the quality of the manager and employees. We really really like the employees. This is a neighborhood gym and we spend 7 mornings a week at the gym My husband and I have found a change in the way the gym is being abused. The noise level has tripled between the grunting and the banging of the weights and weight lifting machines. It’s like they don’t care if they are destroying the equipment nor to they care if they are disturbing other people More and more people are talking out loud on their phones while on treadmills and bikes. I don’t want to have to listen to other people talking or watching videos on their phones. I have ear pods for a reason but it does not block out the amount of noise going in lately. Specially on weekends
The staff is wonderful! The place is clean. No influencers, just a blend of every day people trying to get in shape.
PLUS I love love love love love being able to go to different cities and work out at the local franchise, with a guest, for free.
