I really enjoy…read moreMauricio's Zumba classes, but there's one ongoing issue that honestly should be addressed by the gym staff. Some members constantly save large sections of the front row for friends who don't arrive until class is about to start. Today, Friday class for example, one lady used like 8 water bottles to reserve spots for people who showed up right as class began. Meanwhile, people who actually arrived early couldn't use those spaces. It's honestly surprising to see such territorial behavior from grown women in a fitness class...embarrassing. I understand saving one spot for a friend, but this has become excessive and very territorial. The classes get packed, and some of the behavior feels less like a fitness class and more like auditions for Dancing With the Stars. We get it... everyone has their favorite spot, but don't be selfish. The class should feel welcoming and fair for everyone. I hope the gym staff will address this so all members can enjoy the classes equally. I can also see how new clients could feel discouraged from trying these classes when faced with this type of behavior.

You'd have to go at least two days in a row somewhere in order to get a balanced workout. I think a better model would be to have a mixture of classes per day so we can pick which one we want and have more control over our schedules and fitness goals. Other than that it's a nice, safe, setup. The app needs to be a little more user friendly as it does not allow the clients to cancel membership or pause. If you mistakenly choose repeated appointments, you are not given access to cancel them on your own. So you'll get billed until you physically go into the office and they manually take you off automatic bookings.

I wanted to share some thoughtful feedback that I believe could elevate this location even more. I've visited other Planet Fitness locations, like Long Beach, and noticed they offer a slightly wider range of equipment. It seems those locations attract strong engagement from members who are looking to grow in their fitness journey. I completely understand and appreciate that Planet Fitness aims to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment. That's what makes it special. At the same time, I believe there's an opportunity to gently evolve in a way that still honors that mission while helping members progress. Introducing a few additional pieces of equipment--such as a squat rack, a hip thrust machine, and even something like a spotlight mirror for progress photos--could make a meaningful difference. These additions don't have to be overwhelming; starting with just one of each would allow members to gradually become familiar and build confidence over time. For many members, growth comes from small steps outside their comfort zone. Providing access to these tools in a supportive environment could actually help reduce gym anxiety, not increase it. It creates a space where members feel empowered to improve at their own pace. I truly believe these additions would bring more positives than negatives, helping members become their best selves while also strengthening the appeal of this location. Thank you for continuing to create such a welcoming space, and for considering feedback from your community.

Today is February 20, 2026. Yesterday I walked into The Carlsbad Planet Fitness to see if I could…read moreuse my Medicare Silver Sneakers benefit and start working out at that location, just a mile from my home. The person at the desk told me I had to get my silver's sneakers membership number so I left. Today I was going for a walk and I noticed one of my Apple earbuds was missing and Apple Find My app said it was at the Carlsbad Planet Fitness. I drove down there and walked in and asked if anybody had turned it in. The Apple Find My app and it says it was in the Planet Fitness location, but it was not indicating it was at the front desk. It also said somebody had found it and reported it and was in the building. I asked if I could walk around and locate it with my app. George, the power hungry, condescending big guy at the front desk who had major negative attitude issue said "no". I looked at him and I said I wasn't going to work out, just take a walk around to locate my $200 earbud. I was out within three minutes the app was not able to find it. I asked George if I could leave my name and number and he said no. I said why not. He said "I told you couldn't walk around to find your earbud and you walked in anyway." Well, I'm a 70-year-old senior citizen looking for an expensive Apple earbud. It was an unreasonable restriction not to be able to walk in and see if my iPhone can locate it and it was even more unreasonable not to take my telephone number in case somebody turned it in. I looked at him and I said that's too bad because I was going to sign up here. And now I'm not. And I don't think you should too. Even though I wasn't a current customer, I was going to be, and George certainly lacks compassion, understanding, and sympathy for senior citizens. Bad combination for a manager type who is full of himself, and doesn't give a hoot about others. My apple earbud is still in the Planet Fitness and I have no way of getting it back now. Thanks George!

I've seen Anthony the GM truly want to help people reach fitness goals and if having the ability too, give great deals to people wanting to renew or become new members. I HATE salesmen, and tacky gym people trying to up-charge or sell something not needed or wanted. Anthony does NOT give that vibe at all. Very fun and professional attitude. You can even tell in his employees. They all give the presence that they actually like being at work, working for him and it shows how it is translated to the members. Now maybe for the high end gym fanatic they'll complain it doesn't have every bell and whistle to hit your random glute or specific shoulder muscle....for a quality gym, great pricing, really great staff and GM. You cannot beat Crunch Fitness in Oceanside. BONUS POINTS You truly can go there without headphones and be totally satisfied. They play really good music. Great selection of 90's to current R&B, hip hop, and even rock. My example is they went from I Luv Your Girl by The Dream, to Mr. Crowley by Ozzy Osbourne. I'm telling you they curate these DEEP cuts of artist that will have you groovin' all through your workout. A+ place

I tried popular home workout plans and bought a membership to a big box gym, but it wasn't long before I dreaded my workouts due to lack of direction and minimal progress. I can confidently say that I have exceeded any fitness expectations that I previously set for myself, all because of the trainers at 181 Fitness, who are extremely knowledgeable and truly CARE about each client. They work with all fitness levels, to make the workouts work for you, not the reverse. If something doesn't feel right, I let one of the trainers know, and without hesitation they switch it out for a different exercise. Since joining 181, I now feel like each one of my workouts is well thought out and has a purpose. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Whether you are in the group class or the private sessions, a trainer works with you one on one to help meet your fitness needs. They observe your movements to make sure that your form is correct and to ensure you don't hurt yourself while trying to better yourself. Most importantly, the team at 181 is awesome. From Cody, to Jessie, to Tony, to Gabe, they welcome you and make you feel like family. If you've been thinking about "getting back in shape," stop proscrastinating. Make the call, because a year from now you will have wish you started yesterday.

I am so glad I found Nicky. At 68 I have lost and gained 30+ pounds more times in my life than I…read morecan count. Occasionally I hired a trainer, sometimes through a gym, sometimes not, but I never really felt any huge results. I started a walking 5 years ago and that has been good. Changing my diet to low carb and walking regularly, helped me lose 40+ pounds over the last year. Now I needed to build muscle, get toned, and work on balance and posture. My upper body is weak, I lost tone (and my butt) with this last weight loss. As I age I notice small losses in balance. My posture has been an issue most of my life. I did research. The first trainer I hired, who was less expensive, gave me cookie cutter exercises and didn't push me. Maybe he thought I was too old. Then I hired Nicky. She is not easy on me, but goes at my pace. If I can't do something, she modifies it so I can be successful and still get the benefits. I am amazed at every workout with her depth of knowledge. Working together we have uncovered some issues I didn't know I had and we are working to correct them. When I started having a weird issue, we both researched it and she suggested I see a PT to confirm what we both suspect. I like that she researched the issue and also that she knows her limitations. She says, " I'm not a PT. They study for years. But I know training. " I'm feeling stronger in just a few months. My posture has visibly improved. I didn't expect to see a difference so quickly. She takes measurements and checks for muscle increase periodically. It's not required, but I like to see data. I'm pretty knowledgeable about nutrition, but she made some suggestions. I lost a few more pounds, even though that is not my primary goal at this point. I just want to be stronger and more toned. I want to live healthy into old age and I believe having a strong body is absolutely essential. If you want results and not just go through the motions, give Nicky a shout. If you are willing to work and want to work with someone knowledgeable, she's a great choice. Her workouts are tailored to each client. She will make sure you are safe and provide encouragement.

Nicky took the time to go over what my current diet was and how I could lose weight with some pretty simple meal adjustments she help set up a nutrition program through an app and we programmed in a sample day for me to start with. She was able to explain where my current meal routine was way too high in certain macros and why shifting and excluding items would help me to lose weight and be more healthy. Ultimately I would love to get some resistance training done with her but her schedule was full. I would highly recommend her for nutritional advice and the reasoning behind making the right choices!
