I stumbled across this gym by happenstance. I own a gym in NYC but sometimes I just want to workout…read morewhen I'm at my house in NJ. The check in process is easy and efficient. They offer a good variety of protein drinks and sugary snacks to power through serious workouts. It is a "powerlifting" gym, but honestly anyone could get a great workout with the types of equipment they have, which is a great variety of dumbbells, bars, row, lat pull downs, seated row, hammer strength, chest flys, kettlebells, cables, bags, ropes and a sled. (I might be forgetting some stuff). If you ever get frustrated because you can't squat or bench due to crowds, THEN THIS IS THE GYM FOR YOU. They have like a million bench press stations, deadlift and squats. Which is honestly the best part. The atmosphere is really kind and yet serious. The culture seems to attract strength goal lifters and not tic toc queens, high school phone scrollers, attention seekers etc. Everyone is also very helpful and I don't get any judgment vibes. The mix is also 40/60 women/men. Yes I'm observant. My goals change from size, to strength to cut to performance based on the time of year and this gym works for all of them. Kudos to the owners for putting together a great place.

I have been eyeing this gym on Instagram for quite some time but I haven't gone until today out of fear of not fitting in. First of all, I was welcomed and a lot of the members introduced themselves which I thought was really dope. I'm really spanking brand new to lifting and so the owner, Michael gave me a ton of pointers that helped me PR. ALSO, with every lift you have an army of folks cheering you on which is always an added plus. I haven't joined quite yet but if you're considering doing so definitely go for it! You won't regret it.

I'd really like this gym to succeed and gain more members, but I do have to admit the 2nd reason…read morewhy I'm joining is because there are hardly any people in there. I love to work out without too many people around, I feel comfortable, plus there's no wait for any machine. The only hiccup I foresee is the fact that I didn't see more than 1 pair of 5 and 10 dumbells. So if more than 1 person is using one of those weights time could be wasted. Plus there were no 8 or 12 lb weights. There were only 5, 10, 15lbs. Sometimes 10 is too light and 15 is too heavy. A 12lb dumbell would do nicely. The main reason I'm joining is because it's open 24hrs and close to my house. I'm a busy mom of two, who works in the city, has to leave at 6am to get to work and return at 6/6:30pm. Joining a regular gym with regular hours wouldn't work for me. It's slightly pricier than other gyms but for me this works. And I can't wait to try out the classes!

At approximately 6:33 pm today, after checking in a billboard caught my attention so I decided to…read morewalk back to see what it was about, when I walked back my BAG accidentally knocked it over so I gently put it back where it belonged. After that I thought I heard a guy laugh at me so I sped walk because I was embarrassed. An employee "Risa" if that's even her actual name, ran to me yelling at me aggressively and aggressively grabbed my shoulder pulling me towards her. I was confused at the fact that she laid her hands on me. I understand they might've saw the situation differently but she had no right to grab me like that and after I told management she put her hands on me she denied it. Staff was rude and unprofessional aside from the guy who scanned my ID he is always kind to me and my friends. Management didn't do anything to correct her or try to stop her from the continuous insults that she kept yelling at me. I am a non confrontational person so having someone grab you, yell at you and continue to throw insults at you while sticking up their middle finger an EMPLOYEE at that is scary. Not once did I raise my voice at her or any of the staff as I tried to explain the situation, nor did I insult anyone. I even asked management to pull up the footage from the cameras but he refused to stating he had "already spoke to her" (as she continued to interrupt the conversation between the manager and I). For someone who pays monthly to be able to work out at a gym in peace, you would think that the company would have a standard for the type of behavior they expect from their employees. An employee should never lay a finger on a paying customer, especially one who didn't even raise their voice at her and reacting like that over a billboard accidentally being knocked over and picked back up is concerning. I hope LA Fitness can do something to prevent this from happening to anyone else in the future.

I had a horrible experience with this LA fitness location. I'll admit at first they were great,…read morethey had flexible plans for a reasonable price which I appreciated. However this gym is not great for any one who actually lifts. The equipment is bad and due to my height some of it didn't even work for me, which is expected for a few machines, but not to the extent of this gym. There is no place to do exercises with a barbell besides bench and squat. There is only ONE squat rack in this gym that is adjustable, the other two, you cannot adjust the safeties which wouldn't work for the exercises I wanted to do. No deadlift platforms or bumper plates. Dumbbells are a mess even on the weekends when it's not crowded. For the cable machines they are little attachments available to choose. For these reasons, I chose to cancel my membership as I realized it be unsustainable for me to complete my workouts here. Trying to cancel this membership within the guidelines of my contract was a nightmare. I was well within my rights to cancel my membership within 3 days of registering. However when I tried to cancel my membership in person they said I can't do that unless I come back when the operations manager is there from 9 to 5, Monday through Friday. For me and most people this does not work as we work those same hours. Additionally, in the contract it says nothing about contacting an operations manager. It explicitly states you can go to the gym you signed up for and cancel your membership. I had to ask for the operations manager phone number, which was just the phone number for the gym. I called the next morning during business hours and was told the operations manager was in the middle of something and when I said I was going to refer to the contract that says I can also cancel by calling, the person at the desk hung up on me. I called back and let them know that I would like the operations manager to call me when she was available and was told that they would tell her but she usually doesn't call customers. Luckily, I called back an hour later and a different person answered and I was able to speak to the operations manager and she canceled my membership in less than two minutes. I would not have been as upset if the people at the front desk did not LIE to me and would actually abide by the contract signed! A business cannot expect their customers to abide by a contract when they will not. Other reviews echo the same experience. I can not recommend this business to anyone and would suggest to go anywhere else for this reason.

And I've seen other people using it. There was a 30-1hr gap between his clients in which no other trainer was using the area. I was already using it for a while completing 4 sets prior too. I don't mind moving if you have a client but just gotta lmk since I don't see any schedules posted. Otherwise a good gym with good equipment

It seems as though this Planet Fitness hasn't had their equipment exchanged in quite so many years, very outdated and very broken and it's a shame because it's really a nice gym.
