This review is long overdue!…read more I've taken classes at both the Montrose and Glendale locations, and I truly can't say enough great things about these studios. After trying several other Pilates studios that felt impersonal, Motivate was such a breath of fresh air. Every single instructor is fantastic, but a few deserve a special mention. Odet is incredibly knowledgeable. This girl knows fitness! She knows exactly how to challenge and motivate her clients. Christine's positive energy, smile and genuine kindness make every class such a joy. Alin is also another amazing and motivating instructor. And Courtney somehow delivers an amazing workout while keeping everyone laughing, it's like getting a comedy show with your Pilates class! I can go on and on about each and every single instructor. Both studios are true gems for the Montrose and Glendale communities. The instructors, the atmosphere, and the workouts are second to none. I genuinely look forward to every class. Five stars simply aren't enough!

Terrible experience with Odet. She was rude, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. I felt…read morejudged rather than supported, and the sessions were a waste of time and money. I would never recommend her to anyone.

I've been a member at this Planet Fitness in Glendale for close to a year now, and I honestly think…read moreit's a good gym. A lot of people criticize it, but I don't really get why. It's also very clean, the staff is genuinely friendly, and the overall atmosphere is welcoming. That said, I do think management needs to address one issue. There are people--young, old, and everyone in between--who sit on a machine forever, and all they're doing is texting on their phones. I don't care if you send a quick text between sets, but when you're sitting on a machine for 30 or 35 minutes just texting, that's a problem. I've seen it happen way too many times. That shit has got to stop so other people can actually use the equipment. management needs to walk around and tell people I know it's not easy but it needs to stop.. I would've given five stars if it weren't for that Thank you for responding to me, but I will not go up to the desk. I do not want that confrontation with any of the fellow patrons. I suggest that your people walk around and say something to the people that are on their phones continuously it's pretty obvious like I said every once in a while, I don't care. I watched a guy on a leg machine yesterday for 30 minutes and barely worked out, but was on his phone the entire time I've seen an older guy with a cane who sits on machines and just plays with his phone.

I have been a member of this Planet Fitness location for over a year, and this was by far the worst…read morecustomer service experience I've had. Yesterday, I trained wearing the exact same outfit and sandals. I completed my entire workout, and not a single employee said anything to me about violating any policy. Today, I came in wearing the exact same outfit. After I had already entered the gym, the General Manager, Johny, approached me and told me to come with him. He informed me that I could not work out wearing sandals because of their policy. I calmly explained that no one had ever informed me of this rule before, especially considering I had trained the day before in the same outfit without any issue. I simply asked if they could make an exception this one time since the rule had never been communicated to me. At that point, another employee claimed she had already warned me previously. That statement was completely false. She has never spoken to me about sandals or any dress code. Instead of handling the situation professionally, Johny immediately escalated it. Rather than allowing me to change my shoes, explaining the policy respectfully, or simply asking me to leave for the day, he told me they wanted to cancel my membership, gave me two minutes to leave the gym, and threatened to call the police if I didn't. I was shocked by how aggressively this situation was handled. After being a loyal member for over a year, I expected respect and professionalism, not intimidation and false accusations. Policies should be enforced consistently. If sandals are not allowed, then that rule should be communicated clearly and applied equally to everyone--not ignored one day and turned into a threat of police involvement the next. This experience completely changed my opinion of this location. I hope Planet Fitness management reviews how members are treated, because no paying customer deserves to be treated this way.

Rebecca varies our workouts to keep things interesting, and has also been very easy to schedule with as my work schedule as been highly unpredictable of late. She is also knowledgable about nutrition and has given me many useful tips on snacking, grocery shopping, and meal-planning. I feel great after my morning workouts with Rebecca--she knows exactly what we need to be doing, and tailors workouts to my goals. I have more energy, am much healthier, and have more discipline than when I first started working with Rebecca. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a fantastic trainer!

I highly recommend Troy for your personal training and here's why…read more I'm a cancer survivor twice who also suffers from chronic RA pain. I was in great pain inside out and frail like a twig after my surgery. Yet, I'm the type who would rather bury herself in the library or in the garden than step into the gym. Well, my sister insisted that I see Troy during the COVID lockdown and I grudgingly complied. We have the training on Zoom. Troy articulates very well and explains clearly; this is very important, especially when it's done on Zoom. He would provide alternatives when I couldn't do certain move due to pain. He is also very observant to correct any wrong move. With his help, I became stronger each day; I was even able to cook the Thanksgiving meal this year for my family, which I haven't been able to do for a few years now. My family was happy. Troy is very friendly, encouraging, patient, and knowledgeable. If he doesn't know, he'd tell you. He would research it himself and enrich my knowledge of my own ailment. I highly recommend him.

I approached Troy one day when my shoulders felt so sore and tight after overexertion that I could…read morehardly walk let alone lift my arms. Troy immediately got to work and I was feeling completely better by the end of the session. He knew the right questions to ask in order to pinpoint the source of my shoulder pain and applied the perfect therapy for my specific issue. He also taught me exercises and movements that I can do at home to help prevent and deal with future shoulder issues. Troy is always seeking to improve his practice by learning from the best practitioners, and he really has a multi-disciplinary approach to helping his clients. He is the first to tell you that no two persons are alike. He creates a custom solution for each individual and I have definitely benefitted from his expertise.

I called and set up an appointment with a trainer, and it turned out to be Armando. He asked me what I was looking for, which, for me, was gaining strength and muscle. Right off the bat in my intake meeting, he knew what to target. There are a variety of workouts, and no session is ever the same. I've also had the pleasure of training with his partner Cat, and she is amazing as well. They both do a great job of explaining the purpose of each exercise and are very patient with beginners. I've been going there for 4 months and will continue to do so. In addition, the gym is very clean and a comfortable place to work out. If you're looking for a 1:1 trainer experience, this is the place to go.

The EoS acquisition of Gold's gym locations proves, on the daily, how quickly a mega corporation…read morecan run a successful gym into the ground. The maintenance of their facilities has gone downhill at WARP speed. By cutting corners on maintenance staffing and shifts and leaving their broken equipment is states of disrepair for weeks on end, they are showing the clientele the complete disregard they have for their gym experience and satisfaction. The absolute IRONY of their corporate poster at the entrance bragging about the money spent on upgrades (basically repainting the locations with their new color palette) while the state of the gym is being neglected and run into the ground is not lost on me. Please see the photos below of just some of the issues/failures I witnessed yesterday. If I had done a complete walk through, there would be a lot more. Management needs to address this immediately and if "their hands are tied"then I'll take it to corporate. This is a disgrace to the reputation that Gold's built and EoS should be ashamed of their low standard of care for their customer's gym experience.
