    I've had a very frustrating experience with the billing and management at Planet Fitness…read more My agreed monthly payment is $25.05 due on the 17th of each month. However, I am consistently being charged $40.05 on or before the 17th. The additional $15 is being labeled as a late fee -- yet it's being added before my payment is even due. Management claims my bank is declining the payment. I contacted my bank directly, and they confirmed there are no declined transactions on my account. They would absolutely be able to see if that were happening, and there is nothing showing any payment attempts being rejected. The most concerning part is how this has been handled. The manager was rude and dismissive during our conversation. While I was speaking with her about this billing issue, she stopped twice to have separate conversations with other people who walked up, even though she was in the middle of discussing my account. It felt unprofessional and disrespectful. The only solution offered was for me to come in and manually re-enter my banking information, which was already done months ago. That is, confirmed, not the issue. I also contacted corporate and was told there is nothing they can do about the late fees, which now total over $100. I simply want accurate billing and the removal of late fees that are being added before the due date and once that is done, I want to cancel this horrible membership. This experience has been extremely disappointing.

    I've been a member here for about 6 months. I joined specifically to work with a personal trainer…read more(Ron). I had specific goals that Ron understood and drafted a workout and nutrition plan to help me meet those goals. As my fitness improved Ron updated the plan to keep it challenging and relevant. The nutrition aspect of my plan was great as well. He created a long list of foods that matched up with my goals and matched them to the grocery stores I already was using. He also pushed me physically which is what I needed on quite a few early mornings. My experience with Ron was life changing. My job puts a lot of stress on different parts of my body, and Ron has helped my body be much more resilient to injuries. Plus I feel great and more confident with my increased energy and strength. My training sessions ended a while ago but I've kept up on my regular workout routine, which is something I've never been able to do over the past twenty years despite many attempts. I've already referred Ron to several friends and colleagues. As for the gym and its staff: Reagan is awesome. I don't know any other staff because I'm only there early mornings. The gym equipment works fine, but it does seem sketchy sometimes. I've seen loose bolts, broken pieces of trim that stick out and scratch legs or catch clothing, and I've tripped more than once on uneven floor or equipments that is packed too closely together. Another guy and I were talking recently that were shocked the gym owner isn't all over maintenance and replacement of the floor and equipment. Seems like a lawsuit or two could financially ruin the place pretty quickly. I hope that doesn't happen because I really like the atmosphere of the gym. People are friendly. The trainer is fantastic. The equipment and facilities just need to be updated and better maintained. It doesn't need to be fancy. I don't want to pay for a fancy gym or workout in a fancy place. Just a few clicks nicer.

    My rating has nothing to do with the management or staff. The front desk team is amazing, and the…read moredaycare has been wonderful for my daughter--the women who work there are incredibly kind and caring. The lower rating is simply in hopes that the owner will address some ongoing issues within the gym. There are approximately 15 treadmills, and all of them have recurring problems, whether it's a loose belt, clunking noise, self-adjusting settings, or being completely out of service. While repairs are made regularly, the issues often return within a short period of time. Given how heavily these machines are used by people of all ages, from walkers to runners, reliable equipment is important. I've also noticed a significant decline in cleanliness over the past 6-8 months. Dust and dirt have become much more noticeable throughout the facility. I'm genuinely sad to leave because the gym community has been fantastic. Unfortunately, it no longer serves the purpose it once did when I first joined and the equipment was consistently well maintained. I hope these concerns are addressed, as this gym has many great qualities and a lot of potential.

    As a returning member to Orangetheory after several years away, I joined with one goal in mind:…read moregetting back on track with my health and fitness. My original plan was simple--I thought I would stick to the tread classes and ease my way back in. However, that plan was quickly thwarted by none other than Coach Georgia. After just a few classes, I realized that Coach Georgia has created something special. She has built a true sense of community. From the moment you walk into the studio, you can feel her energy--and the energy of the members who regularly attend her classes. Coach Georgia is all about helping members reach their fullest potential. Whether she's encouraging us with her trademark "Come on!" or reminding us to "Add it if you got it," her enthusiasm is contagious. She works the entire studio, making her rounds, sharing information about upcoming events and signature workouts, and checking in to make sure everyone is doing well. I'll admit, I was trying to avoid the weight floor and stick exclusively to tread classes. When Coach Georgia noticed, she gently encouraged me by letting me know that whenever I was ready, she would help me with proper form and selecting the right weights. There was never any pressure--just a genuine offer of support. Her confidence in what my body could accomplish and her willingness to help me get there was incredibly encouraging. And to top it all off, her music is fire. Whether it's a themed playlist like "Drake Day" or "Justin vs. Justin," she knows exactly how to keep the energy high and the workout fun. Between the great music, the laughs, the supportive atmosphere, and the feeling of walking away stronger than when I arrived, Coach Georgia's classes have become something I genuinely look forward to. She's not only helping me enjoy my workouts--she's helping me stay committed to my overall fitness journey.
