Disappointed today when I returned to PF after 9 month absence. ( Cedar Falls, IA) All the equipment I used was gone and replaced with new more complicated equipment. A learning curve I will be able to conquer. Then I noticed they must allow street shoes to be worn in the gym. I remember when I joined 10 or so years ago, we were to wear gym shoes in the gym, not street shoes. All the equipment and floors were covered with dried water salt stains. Its winter here! I was there when just one person was on duty. She was very friendly and helpful. Suggested I come in mornings ( this was a Sunday afternoon) when more people are scheduled and someone can take me around to the equipment I choose to use and give me the basics. I plan to do that. Cleanliness seems to have gone down hill since last summer when I was last there. Reason for 4 stars. read more

Their hidden fees overdrew my account this month so my $20 gym membership ended costing me $93 this month!!! I called in to find out what was going on and every employee I talked to had the same response ...whatever you were charged was covered in the fine print of the email we sent you when you joined :( This was the final straw for me. I've had the membership for over a year and have had numerous issues with employees not being consistent, managers being less than friendly about simple stuff, & being charged more than I was told up front. read more

My last review was several months ago and nothing has been resolved. The "response" I received was to bring my issues to management so that they could address them. I'm now addressing these same issues to the newest of the last 4 managers and have been told by all of them that they bring the concerns to their superiors but are told that there are specific repair people and "their hands are tied". I gave my contact information and asked that the owner or district manager contact me. This was 2 weeks ago and still no call, text or email. My main issue has been the same for the last 2 years - 16 TV's but only 1 works. It looks like they all work but only 1 has audio. A new member asked if she was doing something wrong because she couldn't get the TV to work. She was surprised when I told her of the situation and remarked that no one told her about this problem when she joined. The weight machines were supposed to help replaced last fall. The workout mats need to be replaced or deep cleaned - they smell really bad. I'm sure I'll receive another AI generated response again. read more

Very, very good gym - especially as it's still new. If you aren't looking to do a lot of heavy lifting and don't need a lot of interaction with employees or trainers, this place can be a good place to sign up. It's close to the mall and Hy-Vee too (easily walkable), so it makes it easy to bundle all of your errands at once if you're in a time crunch. This gym definitely seems focused on the "fit as much equipment and availability into this space as possible". PROS: -This is a brand new location, so EVERYTHING is so shiny and nice. The machines are new, the floor shows no wear and tear, everything works perfectly, etc. I have no idea if they'll keep up this level of quality, but it's a new gym, and it definitely shows. -I've never had any problem with any of the machines. Everything, including cardio machines, has worked perfectly. -Neat mixture of patrons. They do have some bro-lifting types around, but I've never been bothered or annoyed when I'm lifting. They also have lots of younger people who seem like they're here to do their regular gym routine, and there's even older adults as well. It's a very nice mixture of different types of people there for different goals of fitness. -Signing up is definitely a breeze. You'll be right into your workout within 5 minutes of getting into the gym doors. -Lots of machine-clean stations hanging around. You never really have to walk more than 10 feet to find multiple rolls of paper towels and cleanser sitting around for you to clean the machine you just used. Like most gyms, some people seem to do it religiously after they're done while others seem to take a more lenient approach. -AMAZING amount of cardio machines. If you just like to use a treadmill or stair climber and find your usually haunt has them full, you won't be worried here. Probably over 50 cardio machines here. An insane amount of treadmills, 4 stair climbers, some reclining bikes, and some ellipticals. Rows upon rows of TVs playing various shows/news in front of the cardio equipment too. -Good amount of weight training equipment too. They're designed for beginners, so each one has diagrams and information about how to use it. Some of the more-popular items have two copies of the machine, but most of the machines only have a single machine here. Great way to get into strength training if you're new. They also offer guided programs if you want help getting started. -Planet Fitness uses two separate, optional programs. They have a 360 fitness program and a 30-minute express program. The 360 is 360 seconds of hardcore, intense exercise and weight training. The 30-minute express alternates between steady-state cardio and weight training. Both don't require an instructor, so you can just do them when you come at your own pace. Be aware that lots of people seem to use the 30-minute interval section for non-30-minute programs, but it's because the gym seems to use some unique, not-found-elsewhere machines in there. Everybody is usually respectful of others who are using things, though. -If you have their Black Card upgraded membership, they have massage chairs and tanning beds for unlimited use. I could seriously go for a massage right now. CONS: -They use paper towels at the fitness cleaning stations. There are a plentiful amount of cleaning stations around (you rarely have to walk more than 10 feet), but all of the stations use paper towels. That's a TON of garbage at the end of every day. I'd really prefer to see them using reusable rags; when I bring my own rag, I can use the same rag the entire day, rewetting on occasion, with no problem. It would cut down on a lot of waste. -No Olympian bar. They have quite a few machines, free weights, and a Smith press, but they don't have a lot of the free weights that people who get into heavier lifts tend to prefer. -Location isn't open 24/7. It's open 24/5, though, which should be enough for most people in the area. -Cardio machines are tight together. You might feel a bit close to your cardio-machine neighbor, but as I've never come during peak times, I usually have the option to choose a machine further away. While the weight machines have a decent amount of room around them, the cardio machines are close enough that you could easily touch your neighbor. The machines at the Cedar Falls Rec Center provide much, much more space around them. read more

I have never had to wait to get on a treadmill, even at 6:30 am which would be considered "rush hour" in most gyms. Employees are super courteous and friendly; everything is spotless. I would love to see this gym lending real towels out instead of having those abrasive paper rolls...not very environmentally friendly. read more

Overall PF is a good gym and a good value. I do wish they would find a way to make the sound function on the TVs. For MONTHS now only one channel has sound. I have spoken with management and staff about this many times. I have been told that they have a work order for this issue. Really wish this would get fixed. read more

Alonte great guy!! Amazing !! Just amazing one of the cleanest gym I've ever been in my entire life and all the weights were always where they needed to be !! read more

First time ever going to this gym. Upon walking in it was HOT I mean beyond bearable HOT. No real place to do mat workouts, no mats to use. No towels for face (which were needed since it was SO HOT). A machine I use for a different purpose was pushed up against a wall so I couldn't use it. Did I mention how HOTT it was?! read more

Planet Fitness is convenient, clean and the staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

Clean and every machine was working. Sunday mornings are pretty empty so I'd recommend going then if you want to ensure machine availability and maximum privacy. read more

I go in early morning, still busy. The staff is generally Shawn when I go. Shawn is all over the place. Always cleaning, sweeping, refilling paper towels. He always has a smile on his face and ear ready to listen . I was surprised when I was there after 8 one morning and 3 more staff showed up. I had to wait along with another person at the desk. This person finally walked away. I was looking for Shawn and he was wiping machines down. The staff got off the overhead computer and I felt like I was bothering this staff because I wanted to use the hydro massage. She looked up to make sure I was a black card member, which was fine. She walked me back and turned on the machine and before I could say anything she said"Your welcome" In a not very pleasant tone. I am confused as to how I get better service with one person working then 4 . The gym itself is good but sometimes the staff has something to be desired. read more
