Hands down the BEST GYM I've EVER been to. I'm not saying this to advertise or help make sales:…read morethis place is just that good. This gym has a machine for every single muscle group, no joke. You will definitely walk out sore in the best way. The open windows and natural lighting keep it from feeling like a dungeon, and honestly make you want to work out longer. I've been to a lot of gyms, and this one is absolutely top-tier. The staff is amazing too--there's a lady who walks around cleaning like it's her own home. The place is spotless. And the crowd? Only serious gym rats show up, which keeps the environment focused and legit. Those super low-cost gyms that take anyone just don't compare--they lose that true workout atmosphere. I love my gym!!! Now I just need to find a sauna to complete the setup!

I was interested in checking out this gym because it looked really cool, especially since I had…read morejust left my previous gym. I called to ask if they offered a free trial for one day, and the person who answered (I believe it was the owner based on the way the conversation went) said they don't offer one. I had absolutely no problem with that, but the way he responded to my question was unnecessarily rude and condescending. He said, "It doesn't matter if it's your first day, second day, fourth day, or last day, you have to pay," with a pretty dismissive attitude. Obviously, I understand that gyms have policies and I'm completely fine with paying for a membership. It was really just the way the question was handled. Based on that interaction alone, I'm glad I got a glimpse of the customer service before signing up. Dodged a bullet here.

Planet Fitness. This location needs some serious attention!…read more I've been coming to this location for 3 years. The gym has went down hill and went down hill fast. I will be canceling my membership. The gym is filthy. Equipment seems to be always broken and the staff seem to be more worried about enforcing petty rules instead of focusing on what is important. Equipment takes weeks, sometimes months to fix.The bulbs for the tanning beds have been laying in the same boxes they were delivered in for 6 months without being changed. All while the bulbs that are in the tanning beds are old, have past their life expectancy and don't work. The gym locker rooms are filthy. Feces and urine throughout. Dirt and grime that cover all exterior surfaces. Feces, urine, mold, and dry boogers on the walls. In corners on the floors, hair in the sinks, trash throughout on the floors, etc. Need I say more?! Nothing seems to be cleaned on a regular basis. Planet Fitness, What are we doing here? Can you not do better for the customers who have paid good money for the expected value? This location is a pig stine. It's disgusting by any standard. This location needs a full makeover, deep cleansing or needs to be shut down entirely. Do better.

Planet Fitness started in 1992, when founders Michael and Marc Grondahl purchased a struggling…read moreGold's Gym franchise in Dover, New Hampshire. They eventually closed that original location and opened a gym called Coastal Fitness. They added a third partner, former CEO Chris Rondeau. In 2002, they purchased the rights to the name Planet Fitness from Rick Berks who had started his own Planet Fitness gym in 1993 in Sunrise, Florida. He got the name from his daughter's school project, Fitness Planet. Today Planet Fitness is chain of gyms with memberships as low as $10 a month. It has more than 7 million members and is one of the fastest-growing health club franchises in the U.S. The company has around 2,600 clubs making it one of the largest fitness club franchises by number of members and locations. The company majority is owned by private-equity firm TSG Consumer Partners. This Planet Fitness location is in the Planet Fitness Plaza on Powerline Road in Pompano. This isn't my usual gym so I enjoyed checking out another Planet Fitness to compare. Pompano seemed larger and more open than my gym. The equipment was set up in similar locations so I could find what I wanted. Some of the machines that get backed up in my local gym were more available here. They also had four of my beloved iFIT bikes compared to the two my gym has. The only thing I didn't like was it felt very hot in here. I would have appreciated lowering the AC. Like my gym, the Pompano location is also 24 hours which I love. Sometimes I like to come very late on the weekends when the gym is empty so I can feel I little more free in trying new things. This location also has the Black Card area for the $25 a month members with tanning beds, hydro beds, and massage chairs. I barely have enough time to work out never mind lie around so this has not been an appealing upgrade for me. The locker room has showers but that is another feature that I don't care to use. Overall I have been happy with Planet Fitness. I have been going on a regular basis for a few months now and can see the change in my body. The hours are great and I can pop in for as little or as long as I have. The machines are easy to use and they have videos on You Tube and QR codes on the machines so you know how to use them. There are so many ways to work out that I am never bored. I try to learn a new machine each time I come and I incorporate both cardio and weights into my workouts. Whatever part of your body that you want to work on, there are numerous ways to get there. Best of all this gym is not intimidating for beginners but is equally great for the hard core fitness fanatic. People stick to their own thing and you can feel comfortable doing yours in the "Judgement Free Zone." You can download the Planet fitness app that makes check in a breeze, tracks your progress and workouts, and where you can even find home workouts. The app also lets you know how crowded the gym is. I like that it works with the Apple Health app on my watch. So far this is the longest fitness routine I have stuck to and it has seeped into other areas of my life like a better diet and more regular visits to the doctor to keep up with my health goals and to think it all started with the first time I stepped through the door of a Planet Fitness.

I renewed my membership again for another year. (I have lifetime membership so I only pay once a…read moreyear) got the lifetime back in 1986 when it was Ballys and got grandfathered in when LA Fitness bought Ballys. (History lesson over) although prior to Ballys it was Jack Lalane . So I will tell you why I renewed for another year. LA fitness, especially this one keeps evolving. They have a big green artificial turf with trx bands, kettlebells, sleds. Big tires, jump boxes and ropes to keep up with the small boutique type places. Their weight area is superb and the establishment is well lit and machines are in good working order. People are friendly here. I go at a much later time than most. I get in and out in 30 minutes. I wipe down my machines and there are supplies around to assist us. The pool and basketball courts are also open. Check the hours before you go. This LA fitness closes at 9pm on Fridays (prolly a holidaze thing)

I have been attending this gym since February 2022 and never had an issue. The only issue was the…read moremirrors were not clean. They seem to have improved. The other issue is some people taking their pet into the classes. Some people have allergies. This guys claims it is an animal support pet then they should stay in the back to be mindful of those with allergies. She's very rude and spiteful by barging into class before the prior one is over and puts mats down and gets confrontational. Clarification is needed. I received clarification that LaFitness allows service dogs but not emotional support dogs. All of a sudden her Yorkie is a service dog. I feel it is up to the management of the individual facility to take it upon their discretion to ask what service the pet does and to be respectful of the space between guests when working out.

If you prefer circuit training Ryan's got plenty of tricks up his sleeves to keep your heart pumping. It's a smaller gym, but boasts a great atmosphere and great people.
