Planet Fitness and its LaGrange, NY franchise in particular are perfect examples of a company whose…read moremission statements pay lip service to ideas like diversity, equity and inclusion, but in truth doesn't care at all about these things. Approximately 15 to 30 percent of the US population (52 to 103 million people) suffers from high sensitivity to stimuli like noise, light, and emotions, yet every Planet Fitness I've gone into (especially the LaGrange, NY franchise) has dozens of TVs playing a cacophony of news and other stations, and the music is SO LOUD that you, the gym member, can't even block it out with expensive noise-cancelling headphones. I joined Planet Fitness the first time in the summer of 2024 and endured the excessive stimuli for a year. During this period, I repeatedly requested the music be turned down (especially at 4-5 a.m.; seriously!?), and sometimes the desk person accomodated me, sometimes he didn't. A week ago, I joined again, thinking (stupid me) that they might have listened to my and other members' complaints about the excessive stimuli and made some changes. They hadn't. In fact, they are now playing the music SO LOUD that I can't even block it out with $400 headphones. People like me want to work out to REDUCE stress, but this isn't possible when LOUD, obnoxious, cacophonous music is playing, and dozens of TVs are showing nothing but bad news. For a long time, I wondered, "If someone asks them to turn down the music, why don't they just turn it down? Why don't they accomodate people with special needs like HSPs (Highly Sensitive People)?" Well, today I realized why they don't do it: 1. Because they know that 15-30 percent of their members are HSPs, and if they can DRIVE THEM AWAY, they'll be able to pocket their monthly membership fees without those members putting wear and tear on their equipment. AND 2. Because they WANT their clientele stressed, on edge and pumped full of cortisol so they won't lose weight or get healthy, and thus keep paying their membership fees. They want to get people ADDICTED to the gym. (Here's an interesting tidbit: the LaGrange, NY franchise keeps a BUCKET of Tootsie Rolls right at the entrance. Why is this? Could this be another insidious manipulative technique to keep people addicted to the facility?) Over the year that I was a member, I complained to the manager about the excessive noise half a dozen times, suggesting they offer low-stimulus hours, but my requests and suggestions were ignored. The bottom line is, all the manager and staff of the LaGrange facility needed to do to keep my business was turn down the damn music when I asked them to. They refused, so I wrote this review instead. Not smart, guys. And to any LaGrange, NY managers or corporate executives who are thinking of replying to this review: Don't bother. I don't want to hear your disingenuous "we care," "we're all about inclusivity" blather. The fact is, everyone knows what you're doing is diversity washing: trying to make it look like you care and you're doing something about the problem when we all know you're not. Just shut up. Shut up, shut off your TVs, and turn the damn music down. Tomorrow, for the second (and last) time, I'm cancelling my Planet Fitness membership forever. To quote another member, Tina P., from her Yelp review: "F-ck this place."

Let me first start by saying that I am a regular gym goer, and also have a membership at Crunch…read more Years ago, I used to be a trainer myself, and it's amazing to see how much the field has changed. There's so much more knowledge in exercise science/physiology, to which I am eager to learn and apply. Thus, Warlock is a great new gym for Crossfit and Yoga. The trainers are so knowledgeable, and equally challenge and educate me each workout. The gym is atypical, so if you're expecting amenities other than than top equipment, perhaps Golds or Crunch would be better. This gym has top of the line Rogue equipment, in a setting that is conducive to a great workout. In other words, show up ready to work out with your trainer and other crossfitters. There's a bathroom and some cubbies for your things, but plan on showering elsewhere. I'm new to the Crossfit environment, and Erik and Chris, the owners, have allayed any fears I had about hurting myself, and squashed any stereotypes I associated with Crossfitters. There's no key tag or sign in. Everyone knows you, and you just show up for your class. There's a workout on the board, so if your familiar with WODs, then your all set. If you're like me, a beginner, Erik takes the time to scale the workout and teach you the correct form to improve each week. I opted for the charter membership, which gives me unlimited classes throughout the year, including yoga. I'm hopeful that they'll also include mobility classes too. If you read this before November 1st, you can still sign up for that plan! In sum, I'll admit that I was close minded towards Crossfit, Crossfitters, and the stereotypes/ lifestyle associated with it. It isn't like that at all... It's what you make it and I'm happy I gave it a try. Warlock is for those 18 and up only (at the moment). Also, the music is phenomenal...

See, if you go to crunch, or golds, there's a thick meat fest going on, and the fellas like to hold down the squat rack for hours at a time. So, you have to work around your squats, which can ruin your flow. At Taconic, however, maybe 4 people actually do squats, so it's never a problem. Walk in, and B line it right to the squat rack. Sweet! It costs $44 a month, which is almost twice what most places charge, but you get that private feel for the extra cost. Well, it only costs me $25 a month via health ways program for being a Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance carrier. ($25 gets me in all the gyms BOOM) People apparently wait to take the worst smelling dumps ever recorded in human history at this place. I feel bad for the employees who work at the desk which is connected to the men's locker room door. Cardio equipment, free weights, cable machines, and various push, pull, ab and leg machines. A nice sized room for classes, stretching, sleeping, farting, staring at yourself in the mirrors, snorting pre workout, having a sneaky dart, etc. Staff is super friendly, although small, tiny, and weak af. Dan, Dom, and Paul are probably the weakest people you'll ever meet in your life. Don't let that fool you, it has nothing to do with the weights! The weights are perfectly fine, they weigh exactly what it says on them. Mostly, it has to do with them being extremely loose, flapping vagina holes. Seriously, go there. Support the place. It's nice to be able to lift without being surrounded by dozens of stacked ass body builders deflating your sense or accomplishment, because your a scrawny twig with horrible form and no rhyme or reason.

I've never been able to maintain a consistent work out routine, but Fit Social has changed that. I have fun in every class and I actually look forward to working out. Now, thanks to Fit Social, I am the strongest I've ever been. They also have a super convenient and yummy smoothie bar to get some post work out fuel. I recommend this gym to anyone and everyone.
