Clean. Professional and helpful staff. Kathy is particularly personable and always remembers my name. Abundance of equipment and rarely have to wait. Massage equipment is particularly appreciated.
Well, first of all, I hope Kristian still works there. I was there yesterday, and there were three new faces at the desk. I haven't been there for a while because I was on vacation. Anyway, Kristian is one if the few staff members who smiled and was genuinely glad to see me. The ones who were there yesterday, didn't speak or seem very friendly.
I like coming best earlier in the day while there are very few people there.
I also like the fact that there is room for my padlock on the locker.
PF is affordable, convenient, the staff is friendly and accessible, the place is clean, the equipment is quality, plentiful and in-service. The TV's are a nice touch. I like it there for the most part.
I wish that cell phones were restricted in the weight areas. Too many people waste others' time, hogging inclne benches by placing their phone and water bottle on them even while they do squats or lunges or standing curls and presses etc. nearby,. As though they are reserving it's use or sigmalling their intent to use the bench at some point, while others are actually waiting to use it. Usually you get major a eye-roll if you ask to use the bench. Worst are the people who scroll their phone endlessly between sets on a bench, Smith machine or other station, oblivious to others who are having to wait or work aroiund them. You don't need 5 minutes' rest between sets; it's not even a good fitness practice.
Also, people will remove dumbbells from the racks and carry them to another part of the gym (like the stretching area) and then leave them there until they are done stretching (or visiting or scrolling). No one else can find the weights.
Lastly, the water from the drinking fountains is usually warmer than my shower water. Please fix the water coolers.
Thanks for asking.
It is good except for one thing. The tvs displaying different channels were messed up for a very long time! Management said they had an order into PF to fix them but it took several months!
Now there are just two tvs that need attention. The two tvs, side by side, are both displaying ABC. Initially one tv was ABC and one was HGTV. Also, several of these tvs don't have the closed caption on so we can read what is being said. Other people I know have complained about this also.
I have been with Planet Fitness (Grand Ave in WDM) for 1 year, 8 months. I am older and I enjoy watching tv while I workout. It improves my experience, it helps me stay focused and workout longer.
