This gym suffers from a complete lack of gym etiquette. I applaud the "judgment free" philosophy…read morebut I also think this attracts many members who have no idea about how to behave in a gym. The Smith machine/weight racks are the worst --my daughter and I the last three times we were in the gym witnessed four people take over the four racks for the entire hour we were at the gym. Some of these people even set their phones and water bottles on the bench to reserve the rack while they went to the bathroom. There are only four racks for the entire gym, and the members I see seem to be doing an entire workout of multiple exercises once they get on the rack. This is excessive as there are only a few exercises that are best done on the rack--i.e. calf raises, three sets, with five-minute breaks in between can be done on the calf raise machine. There should be a time or number of exercises done limit on these racks or buy more racks! The cable towers are also very frustrating. Every time I am there a large man has set up a bench between the two towers and has used two cables at one time--effectively taking up two areas at one time. The two cables they monopolize are the only two of that type so I have had to skip doing my oblique "woodchoppers" every time. The same guys take long breaks between sets while they stare in the mirror and look at their phones. I have seen one man monopolize two cables for the entire hour I was at the gym and he was still going when I left. On the other machines, people do one set, then sit on the machine and look at their phone for five minutes, then repeat this two more times. Have they never heard of letting others work in between sets? Basic gym etiquette. A simple sign telling people not to sit on the machines between sets would easily solve this problem. Last time I was in the gym I went to use the ab slider machine and a woman was in front of it lifting weights in the mirror. She saw me and came over and said, "I am using that machine". I said nicely, "I saw you liting weights, can I do a set while you finish?" She answered that she was "holding the machine". Some basic gym ettiquette rules at this place, such as signs with some simple rules and some employees that pay attention to what is going on would be super helpful and completely elevate the experience of using this gym. It would also be helpful for the members who have no experience using a gym to learn some basic gym manners. The focus of the front desk seems to be enforcement of rules that other Planet Fitness locations do not seem to have--like asking for ID's-- and not allowing anything on the floor around the machines. This is probably to protect the gym from liability for accidents. Much more focus should be placed on making an environment where people can efficiently get their workout in without constant irritation and frustration. Otherwise, this gym is clean and has a decent assortment of equipment. Sad that the place is run so poorly.

After her first class the tantrums stopped.. I was honestly shocked and didn't think it would of helped. I was very wrong. Lol. All the teachers are amazing, and the teacher who handles the toddler class. She is awesome and handles my little one so well, especially because she likes to get up and run away or gets easily distracted. The teacher is super patient. Which I appreciate the most. Can't wait for my little one to continue this journey with all of these wonderful people!

Look no further than Eldridge's ATA Tae Kwon Do! The instructors are friendly and care about the students. The students learn at the pace they are able to without feeling rushed or pressured to move up in belt colors. The students learn actual moves that can help them get free if a kidnapper tries to steal them away. They also get to participate in combat tournaments to burn off energy and build confidence. Boys especially need an outlet for their masculine energy and aggression without hurting others. This is the place to do that! Your child will learn respect as well, addressing instructors as Sir or Ma'am and how to politely shake hands with their sparring partners. Class programs are a little expensive, but think about what you would spend on baseball or soccer for your child. And baseball and soccer aren't going to help your child escape a dangerous situation! I completely recommend this activity for children, especially boys. It will make them more confident, respectful men in society!
