    Awesome gym. Everyone needs to see this place. It's definitely old school. But in a fun way.

    A meat head gym- no doubt! This place is typically not staffed except for when a new member needs…read moreto sign up and makes arrangements ahead of time by calling or e-mailing now. You can even get a 1 day pass online and not have to make actual contact nor is it expected probably. For the monthly pass, with no enrollment fees, mind you, you would need to make an appointment the first time around. If you can make it at least 5 times to the gym within the month, then it is worth getting the 24-7 access by the month. Most gyms wanted to charge me an enrollment fee for a partial one month period, and it was just not worth it to do that for me. Most gyms don't have 24-7 access and those that do will tack on this enrollment fee. I was planning to work out manually but then I had thought of this gym and tried asking and glad I did! There are showering facilities which I wouldn't have expected, but it's super nice to know that I don't have to leave sweaty and head straight back home if I don't want to. Definitely a potential incentive to keep working out and makes it feel less like a stressful event. One of the showers doesn't even work currently, but there are two others that do. The toilet paper rolls look worn out and it feels like if they were fixed, some musclehead might accidentally break it again by pulling too hard on it. Another one, during one time I was there, the water was accidentally left on and I turned it off, I could see how one might be in a hurry and not have closed the faucet all the way. You just try to do the right thing with minor things like that. Most clients probably would prefer to drive home and use their own comfortable shower rather than the one provided here. There are also a few bottles of wipes provided, but I was probably the only one who would use them or maybe they would only be used by others if sweat got on the equipment. There's a whole array of apparel from online that can be shipped directly to you and pictures of history and pride of the gym and the owner's past interests and successes. I can't fully appreciate the equipment that is here nor understand how to use much of it. I tried to look what equipment was what and how to use it when I could and sometimes I just did things by looking and feeling them out enough but making sure I could handle the weights and such if things didn't quite go as I expected. The only thing I wish this gym and most gyms could have is an optional local community event to get together and just chit chat once in awhile, maybe like every month or 2 or 3 months. I have run into a few that do this or did this once in a rare occasion to try it out, but it is a way to try to build community so that I'm not just showing up and leaving. Gyms that have classes, as I can't make those regularly, I'm not able to socialize that way. So, the classes have become not a big deal to me. The personal trainers I've tried at other gyms is hit or miss, more miss The trainers I tend to like to work with the least are the ones that have been hired through a mainstream gym because many of these people only want to work with certain clientele and they may do things like not show up to their appointment or put someone else in place when that is not the standard practice at most gyms (and this probably should be the standard practice at most mainstream gyms.) They are trying to go for the "relational" connection building, but most gyms are way too transient for this on both the client and staff sides to be effective. A few reviews have said that one can just ask others for help. While I probably could've, I did feel like as a non-jock, I would be intruding on someone else's workout and if I asked them something, what could I offer them back that they would want? Sometimes, a "thank you" might be enough, but I guess living in this world and how it's changed and socially, not for the better, I feel uncomfortable without more context. Even something as simple as I recognize that brand name on your shirt or something "generic" but thoughtful like that could be enough. I think there are people who are probably really nice, but some that would be super annoyed. You don't always know 100% but you just get that vibe. Even things more in my space and YelpE, and even in things where I definitely level off enough with others, I have not built the tight friendships one might expect. A few people did say "hi" when I was least expecting it, and one person ended up going into the gym even thanking me for "letting him in", but I wasn't actually letting him in and I didn't want to create an unnecessary conflict. I also just wanted to leave the gym at that time too. It was safe to assume he had a valid pass and just wasn't finding his pass or working the system right. This slew of gym types is typically less advertised I believe as a Baltimore friend thought this type of gym didn't exist near him.

    I stopped in a couple weeks ago to check out the gym. The owner Steve was such a nice guy. The gym…read morewas absolutely spotless and it smelled so clean in there. Tons of equipment for lifting and strength training. He also had some cardio machines in the front. I ended up doing a home gym plan because I didn't want to make the drive but if it was a little closer it would be perfect. I just wanted to take the time to write this review because it really is a great gym run by a really great business owner

    I can honestly say Planet Fitness has become one of my favorite places to be, and it's because of…read morethe people who work here just as much as the environment itself. The gym is always spotless, the equipment feels brand new, and the extra attention to sanitizing makes me feel safe every single visit. But what makes it stand out most are the staff who bring real warmth and care into the space. I'll never forget how Shana took the time to walk me through some of the machines when I first joined she made sure I felt comfortable and confident instead of intimidated. Jasmine is one of the friendliest faces at the front desk, and she never fails to brighten the start of my workout with her positive energy. Then there's Ben, who always keeps things running smoothly and is quick to answer any random question I might have. I appreciate how Triniti pays such close attention to keeping everything clean, seeing her make her rounds gives me peace of mind that I'm in a safe, well cared for space. Rahiem once helped me troubleshoot an issue with the lockers, and he handled it with such patience that it made the whole situation stress free. And of course, Momadou and Mariah both have a way of making the atmosphere light and welcoming just a simple hello from them makes me feel like more than just a member. Each of them has, in their own way, made my experience here truly personal and special. It's rare to find a gym that feels this safe, clean, and full of good energy. For me, Planet Fitness isn't just about working out it's about being part of a community built by some really amazing people.

    Came here during a 5 hour lay over and got a day pass ($20)…read more We (party of 2) had our bags and suitcase in tow and they were kind enough to watch them while we spent 2 hours here. Huge ups to Mamabou and Triniti who were working there for their kindness, patience, and hospitality. I wouldn't be writing this review if it wasn't for them. As far as gym goes, it's your typical Planet Fitness. Heaviest dumbbell is 75lbs and heaviest weighted EZ bar/straight bar is 65lbs, so doesn't go up very heavy. There are, however, plenty of smith machines and cable machines. Plethora of cardio machines. Everything is spread out with lots of room to work out, so it never felt congested even though there were a decent number of gym goers while we were there. Facility is clean and bathrooms well kept.

    While you don't get so many fancy things here, there is enough variation here to get a workout. I…read morepersonally needed 1.5-2 bottles of water here per workout. You get a different HIIT type workout per class you choose. A few of the classes are stretch classes but even those will feel like an intense workout for me. You may get to use plates, a battle rope, the usual weights, jump rope, a mini "track" where you bend down and get back up running back and forth, and semi-gym bike you must balance yourself on. Visiting many fitness centers including this one has helped me appreciate what is here more. My body acted weird with the 12 workouts I had here as I surprisingly never lost weight except for one time when I had 2 workouts on a Thursday and a Saturday, I temporarily suddenly lost 9 lbs. I couldn't do workouts harder than I did as I would get dizzy and I have been checked for these physical reactions already and I am thankfully fine. My stamina rebuilding has been real slow. I do wish there was some short breaks planned because I get worn out and start to hate exercise with the constant pressure to move. Every gym and almost every trainer I have been with has been like this though. You have to try to pace yourself completely :( This is a good place for getting a quality workout for your money's worth.

I looked around and contacted several different trainers, Jeff responded before anyone else. Although I looked at a few others, I picked Jeff because I just liked him. It was an excellent choice. He is dedicated, he knows so much about wellness and more importantly he is always learning. I can ask anything about nutrition, lifestyle or training and if he needs more information, he finds out and then shares with me. The thing that matters most is that here I am, four months past my big day and I still train with Jeff. I am also so happy to say that my husband was so impressed with what he saw and with what I told him, that he now trains with Jeff too. I have been so impressed with the way in which Jeff has modified everything to meet my husband where he is. A very different place than where I ever was, and the results are already visible. Not only does my husband look healthier, he clearly feels better too. It has been such a positive experience for both of us.

Sore abs, chest, legs and bum, My muscles worked from toes to my head. Well, the workout's coming and the blood is pumping, What a surprise, see nobody's running! Didn't make sense not to just have fun, Thirty minutes, and the workout's done. So much to work, I break a sweat Nicest trainers that I ever met. You'll never know if you don't go. Get done so fast, move your muscles slow. Hey now, you're at X-force, get your sweat on, go play. Hey now, somewhat pricey, but you get what you paid. And all that sweat, liquid gold. This workout for sure breaks the mold.... X-Force is a hell of a workout. You don't necessarily realize it as you're going through, but you're working muscles in a way that you can't do with normal machines. That probably explains the hefty price tag. I'll admit: I was writing about the workout, so I was able to try it for free, but I don't think I could swing this regularly. That said, for folks that live or work in Center City and have the money to spend, once a week 30 minute sweat session definitely sounds appealing. AND I was sore for about 2-3 days after. The locker rooms are truly sleek and executive, and the showers are fit for a queen (or king, I imagine). Everyone at the gym that I met was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. I can see why the fans are die-hard!

I have 9 More sessions but I'm hesitant to go back because of a lack of concern for basic health issues around Covid and a disregard or lack of interest in proper form to avoid injury. The focus seemed to me on adding weight like CrossFit.
