    Nice planet fitness! Lots of leg and arm machines, ample treadmills and ellipticals. Only reason…read moreI'm not giving 5 stars is because it's not 24/7

    Formal Complaint Regarding Employee Conduct at Planet Fitness Charlottesville (Wegmans Area)…read more Dear Planet Fitness Customer Service, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding the conduct of a front desk employee, CJ, at the Planet Fitness located near Wegmans in Charlottesville, Virginia, on June 29, 2025, at approximately 7:00 AM. During my visit, I was attempting to unfreeze my account. I asked CJ to please hold on for a moment while I pulled up my app to continue the process. Despite this, he repeatedly gave me information I was already aware of, and I again asked him to hold on while I prepared my request. At that point, he began displaying an attitude and became rude. When I asked him to please listen so he could assist me more effectively, he became visibly upset. He then told me to "calm down and relax," even though I had remained calm, cordial, and quiet the entire time. Throughout this interaction, CJ continued to demonstrate extremely disrespectful and condescending behavior. Further, CJ threatened to "evict" me from the gym, claiming he had that authority. This was simply because I was trying to complete my request and asked him to listen to my explanation before proceeding. I find this behavior unacceptable and believe it reflects very poorly on Planet Fitness. As a paying member, I expect respectful and professional customer service. I respectfully request that this matter be investigated and addressed appropriately, and that I receive a response outlining how Planet Fitness intends to handle this situation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Chris Barnes I appreciate the quick reply, but if I'm being honest, if the employee is not going to be reprimanded for his behavior, then there's no reason for me to call and further explain the situation. I don't like being told what and how I am feeling like he knows what I'm feeling. I believed that I was coming to planet fitness to better myself, not get disrespected and deal with unnecessary attitude

    A very weird experience in a very nice gym. first, the good news: the ACAC location is clean,…read morewell-maintained and has everything anybody wants in a workout. I visited upstairs and did the elliptical, some free weights and a leg press. all worked great. I was disappointed to learn that ACAC as a multi-location workout facility doesn't have a membership tier that is inclusive for temporary/non-residents. it's either, you buy a one-time pass for $25; a three-day one; or a full monthly. nothing in between. Charlottesville itself is known for having a very transient, ever-changing population so this policy doesn't make sense to me. When I was there, some weirdo was on the stairclimber making this god-awful coughing noise about every 10 seconds. look, I know everyone has their workout quirks but spreading your germs around knowingly (in the age of airborne viruses like COVID) is a bad idea. I brought it to the attention of the desk attendant and she did not seem particularly phased by the news. ACAC Downtown is within walking distance of my flat/crashpad so I will go back. but I'm just hoping they either bring back the punch card or institute a program for non-residents to make life a bit easier.

    I started at ACAC from PT and I did not continue after my 60 days. It is a very dirty facility…read more You see women cleaning all the time but I don't know what they are doing. The women's locker room is disgusting, it smells and there is hair all over the floor and on the shower walls and floor. The hot tub is dirty too. The locker room is way over due for an overhaul. The lockers are dirty and don't get cleaned out ever. It doesn't make sense to have kids in the women's locker room either. Have a family area for changing clothes. Also, the pool is always overrun by kids and it's loud. Terrible gym don't waste your time or money.

    You know those gyms that are full of steroids and surliness? This isn't one of them by any stretch…read more I'm in town for a week and needed a place to get some workouts in. I spoke with Bill, the owner, and he was very accommodating and helpful and said to come on over. Briana (sp?) at the front desk gave me a tour and showed me all of the amenities they have in their gym. It's not a huge space but it is very well organized and sparkling clean. My gym back home should see how this place is maintained. All of the equipment is in great shape, they have; free weights, several squat racks, dumbbells, a selection of machines, TRX setup (see picture) and some kettlebells for you hardcore masochists. They provide one-on-one personal training and from the interactions I saw with clients they have loyal followers. I would not hesitate to recommend this gym. They deserve 5 stars.

    Having been an old time iron pumping gym rat for years and years, I got away from training about…read moreten or so years ago when I starting building a house. Over that time, aside from gaining about 20 pounds and loosing a lot of muscle tone, I developed some bad back problems as well as very sore knees both of which were actually staring to interfer with my ability to do things around the house and keeping me from enjoying playing with my grandkids. So I decided to start training again on my own. I immediately started hurting myself... repeatedly! I know this sounds like a commercial but "Thats when I decided to try Success Studio!" In all seriousness, the team there, especially Jana, helped me get back into the training routine guiding me along and making certain that I not do anything stupid to hurt myself. That was last August. Its now January and I have lost ten pounds, my back is strong, and my knees are getting stronger. This just proves that, with the right trainer, anyone can get fit. I heardily recommend Success Studio for any one seriously wanting to get back into shape. These folks know what the're doing!
