In the west coast, at least, PF doesn't have a good…read morereputation so I was hesitant to try them here... but wow, I was amazed at how huge, modern, and well kept this gym is. There is plenty of parking, the staff are attentive when you need them, and it is not a bad gym at all. The machines are hardly ever out of order, they recently added new equipment, and it's not dirty at all compared to other places I have been to. The price is great, their in-store items are reasonably priced, they're open 24 hrs... just great honestly. It is nice to see all ages and athletic levels coming in to workout; it is also a very diverse spot. Yes, it gets busy, but I never had to wait more than 2 min for a machine. Lastly, you can cancel online if needed now... that alone is a great perk nowadays. Overall, I'd give this PF location a 9/10.

While traveling for work I checked out this Planet Fitness. It's not the biggest one I've been to…read morebut I do think it was one of the newest and cleanest. Not sure I even saw everything as it's a 2 story building. All the equipment I used was clean and in good working condition. I only had minor wait times and it was a peak time I went in (5:30 PM). The staff was friendly and helpful as a newcomer I didn't know where things were. I would highly recommend checking it out and I will be going the rest of my week I'm here in Lexington and most likely during my future trips.

Big Blue Strength or BBS is a rare gem. I have been a member for more than a year and the team has…read moremiraculously made this really out-of-shape elderly nerd feel very comfortable. For this, I could not be more grateful. They will patiently and expertly adjust to your level and needs. There are now four youngsters from my extended family benefiting from BBS. Members range from true beginners to super jocks and yet all blend in smoothly. The owners and trainers are genuinely passionate about their mission to turn you into a healthier individual. I highly recommend this affordable and collegial no-judgment zone. Truthfully, sometimes I have to reluctantly drag my sorry rear end there but I always feel so much better after my group or individual session. My next goal is to try their much praised Pilates classes. Again, give BBS a shot, you will not regret it.

My family and I have been going to this gym for over a year. It's perfect for our needs. It's…read moreamazing, clean, and has a very friendly environment. ABOUT THE GYM OWNERSHIP AND MEMBERSHIP: This Gym is called Genesis now, but it was previous known as "Esporta" before they were acquired over a year ago. They honored all old memberships before changing their company, which we really appreciated. Their Facebook and website is always updated, and they are always VERY open and clear about how much their monthly fees are, what the rules are for other local locations, and so on. ABOUT THE CAFE: Other than a few vending machines, their previous cafe that WAS here is now CLOSED. I dont know what they plan to do with their little kitchen spot near the front doors, but it seems like they are just keeping the vending machines stocked for now. ABOUT THE POOL: Recently re-done! They completely redid the bottom of the pool, cleaned out the water, and they have a clip board sheet at the front desk about what times what lanes have been claimed. They also offer classes although I am not too plugged in to what kinds of classes they can do. I often see swimming classes in the mornings on the weekends there, however. ABOUT ME: I am going to speak more from the angle of a person who is here in the mornings, lightly works out to maintain fitness and health, and walks and runs the circular track upstairs on the 2nd floor all the time. I have gotten nothing but friendliness and kindness from the entire staff here. I always read the previous negative reviews of a business before I post, and all I can say is that I never ran into a billing issue or anyone who mumbles. They seem to rotate staff a bit frequently, perhaps... but in any event, showing up in the mornings to speak to a manager instead of showing up in the evenings after work, when more helpful people are unfortunately more likely to not be around, has probably been a major bonus for me getting great customer support. THEY HAVE A DAYCARE!!!!! It was closed when we first joined more than a year ago, but thankfully as my toddler began aging into his hyperactive wildness, they opened it back up!!! Finally after "Covid". Heaven, what a blessing!! HERE are the daycare hours: Monday: 8:30am-12pm, 4pm to 8pm Tuesday: 8:30am-12pm, 4pm to 8pm Wednesday: 8:30am-12pm, 4pm to 8pm Thursday: 8:30am-12pm, 4pm to 8pm Friday: 8:30am-12pm ONLY Saturday: 8:30am to 12pm ONLY Sunday: CLOSED So basically, this means that there is a several hour gap of NO daycare employee in the MIDDLE of the day Mondays through Thursdays, and Fridays and Saturdays they are only open in the mornings, but then Sundays they offer no daycare at all. The morning daycare staff IS different than the evening daycare staff, too. And wow, these people are ABSOLUTE SWEETHEARTS to my Autistic Boy . Such amazing energy! My son never wants to leave, and there is NO TIME LIMIT for him being here? The assurance and relaxation I get from their ability to call me or find me if there is an issue makes my workout just that much more peaceful. Overall, give it a try! If you are looking for a place to start off, then definitley go with the month to month or 6 month trial. Billing has always been on time, and again, managers always seem to be there in the mornings in their office when you first walk in, just incase there are any issues.

I hate leaving bad reviews, however, I have given LAC several months to make this right and they…read morehave been unprofessional and have lied to me multiple times. My husband had a membership at LAC, and when we moved in December, he went online to cancel. The cancellation tab was not working (website issue) so he called LAC to figure out how to proceed. The employee told him to email a specific address and request cancellation. After doing so, he called back to ask if there was anything else he needed to do. Another employee told him there was nothing else for him to do and that his membership would be canceled. In January, we received a charge for him membership. He called LAC and inquired about the charge. They told him that his account was still open and that they would close it and cancel the charge. The charge was never canceled. In February, we did not receive a charge. On march 6th, he received a call from an employee named Lizzie, who told him that they made a mistake and didn't charge him for February, but that his account was still open and they would be charging him for February and March. Over the span of several calls with Isaac and Jordan later that day to dispute this, we were told that "the best way to cancel is to come in person". We had been moved out of Lexington for months at this point and it would have been extremely inconvenient for us to make a trip solely to cancel his membership. We explained this to them and they said they would cancel it. We asked for a refund for January- March and they said they would get back to us. On March 10th, I called to check in as I had not heard back. I was told that the health department was there that day so they were unable to help me? Isaac told me to forward the emails that we had sent back in December to his email. When I sent them over he replied "oh yeah, it makes sense why this was never seen. That guy left shortly after this was sent." Poor management on their end for this to be the answer we were given. Isaac told me that he would talk to Jordan since he dealt with issues as such and that I'd be receiving a call from him. I was never called, so I reached out again on March 22nd and was told Jordan was not in office. I reached out again the next day and was told by Jordan that he would report the issue to corporate. And when he looked at our account, he said it was still open?? After several conversations about getting out account closed it was still open?? He said he would escalate the closing of the account, whatever that means? Anyways, we were told we would be hearing from corporate soon. Fast forward to today, I still haven't heard back, so I called and was told by Isaac "great news! Your account is finally closed!" This was frustrating to hear as it should have been closed months ago. I told him that I was actually calling to inquire about my refund and see if corporate had gotten back to them. He acted like he didn't know what I was talking about and said that would have to be managed by them. He told me he would talk to Jordan and get back to me. I'm sure I won't hear back from them as they have not initiated a single call that they have promised. Aside from management, the facility was not wonderful. My husband had also signed up for swimming lessons through one of their instructors. The communication leading up to the lesson was horrible, and then the instructor never showed up? He called and no answer. She called back several days later with no apology or explanation for her no show, and rescheduled. My husband said she was extremely passive aggressive during the lesson. My husband and I are not the type to complain- we try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and find the good in each situation. However, I am so frustrated with this facility. The monthly membership is far too expensive to be treated like this.
