I have been a PF member for 18 months now in Portland, OR. And as a Blackcard holder, I can visit…read moreany location. On vacation this gym is the closest so I opted for my workouts here. The gym isn't as new as far as the equipment that mine offers, so I had to take a star away for that. And IMO PF should upgrade this location. It's clean, with plenty of parking and a great staff. This morning, around 5am, I was doing the circuit, and had 2 machines left and the final "cardio" block. When two people entered and started going backwards, so I thought. But they weren't. They were sitting on the last two machines just switching off between one another. Now at my home gym, I use the circuit around 4:30am and have NO competition for anything but know the rules if it's busier and always insert myself around someone else's workout so I don't interfere. Well these two clearly didn't care about interfering. There were 4 other people on the circuit and no one else was breaking the rules. Everyone was being cognisant of the other people and respectful. I went over when the light turned red and said I'm on this next for the circuit. The guy said "okay," and when he got up I moved to get on the machine when the woman said she would be "a few minutes." So I waited one more cycle and again said "I'm doing the circuit, and waiting on this machine." And the lady said "yeah we are too" I said "no, actually you're just taking over these machines and no one can continue their workout. You're wasting my time and cutting into my workout." Then she said "you're wasting MY time." At that point I was DONE and walked over to the desk. I let John, who was working, know that there was an issue. He came RIGHT over and actually addressed it. He was firm but polite. They were extremely rude to him and he never lost his cool. I was super impressed by his customer service skills. Obviously they favored me, but I FOLLOW the rules and respect other people working out around me. Anyway Planet Fitness Corporate, please update these machines. The ARC trainer machines are rusted they're so old!!!! The staff is great and they deserve the upgrade!!! ***Update - the awesome guy who helped me out on the circuit was John. And he IS the manager. Well deserved then! This club is being run well which explains why it's so clean and equipment gets fixed so fast. Because management here CARES. And after a week of workouts, seeing a machine get fixed (the tricep or bicep on the circuit) within the week I was here, and interacting with staff, it definitely deserves 5 stars!)

I had the great fortune to find Dara through Yelp reviews as I was searching for some…read morephysical/mental/emotional help after losing our son on this earth to a car crash when someone ran a red light and killed him instantly. I had gained a lot of weight due to the stress and cortisol that was released in my body along with not getting much good sleep at all for months. I knew my son would want me to grab a hold of my life and get things a bit back on track. I interviewed a few people and once I talked with Dara over a phone consultation I knew she was the perfect person to help me. I am now 3 months in and am the strongest I have been in years thanks to our strength training. I can lift my own luggage up into the overhead bin with no soreness. I can get up and down stairs fantastically now (even though I had a partial knee replacement 2 years ago). My mental health is more aligned with my goals of navigating this grief journey with moments of joy along with sadness. Dara is fantastic at adapting my workouts to my limitations and age. I know that the clothes will fit better and better as I continue the good work with her. I feel that if I had not had 6 additional deaths since the loss of my son eight months ago that I would be even further along in my toning and conditioning; however having to fly to funerals has set me back but Dara stays right by me, coaching me along, and being my biggest cheerleader and advocate. At the age of 63, I have made the best investment in myself that I could possibly make at this time. Her in-home studio is filled with all types of equipment so that my workouts are varied and effective. Her outside studio is fun to tackle on the Florida days that allow outside workouts. I have learned so much about nutrition, our body's chemical makeup, and more from Dara. BEST MONEY SPENT EVER on me!

When wedding day came around I had lost about 20 lbs. and toned up! I felt so calm on my wedding day. I believe my workouts really helped to manage my stress leading up to that day and Dara was always there to keep me focused and encouraged! She won't let you give up! I am not going to quit now that the wedding is over. After the honeymoon I got right back on schedule. Dara wants her clients to be happy and successful. She is positive, encouraging and adept which only fuels your desire to improve!
