    Is it even worth updating a review if you're going to give the same number of stars? Let's find…read moreout. I took a break from Planet Fitness during peak COVID. I rejoined in January and visit almost daily. The good: -It's reliably easy to find open, available equipment. -The hours are good. -The music mostly doesn't suck (but I still bring ear buds and my own playlist). -It's close to home. -I can't beat $10 a month (though they've raised rates for new members). The less good: -Overall upkeep of equipment isn't fast or great. I have to check treadmills to see if they're level before starting a workout. It took months for a soap dispenser to be replaced in the women's locker room. The scales were removed (with no plans to replace them) from the locker rooms. -There is absolutely *zero* enforcement of the rules unless you complain to a staff member. People are constantly FaceTiming or listening to their music without ear buds. Staff members will walk by and not address it, which sucks for those of us who don't want to be on camera with someone's BFF or situationship or listen to someone's going out playlist from 2003. I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon, so clearly the cheap monthly rate and tolerable atmosphere has a hold on me, but it would be nice to see some actual engagement from the staff in making this a better experience.

    The turnover rate at this location is completely out of control. It feels like every six to eight…read moreweeks there is an entirely new batch of front-desk staff. You barely have time to learn an employee's name before they abruptly disappear and someone new is being trained. The reason behind it becomes obvious very quickly whenever the female manager is on the floor. The tension shifts immediately--the employees look visibly stressed, walk on eggshells, and seem genuinely miserable working under her. When she isn't hovering or micromanaging, the staff are decent, but you can feel the low morale the moment you walk through the doors. A gym that brands itself as a "judgment-free zone" shouldn't feel like an uncomfortable, toxic work environment for the very people running it. If staff cannot last past the two-month mark, the issue isn't the workers--it's management. Corporate or the franchise owner needs to look into how this club is being managed before they run out of people willing to work here.

    FIT Boutique encompasses the key qualities anyone would look for in a personal training gym: Great…read moreWorkouts, Knowledgeable and Friendly trainers, and a Motivating Environment. Almost 3 years ago, I was recommended by a friend of mine to check out FIT Boutique and immediately decided to purchase a ten-session package - the prices are very fair. The gym was a new environment for me; there was so much to learn, and I was just a beginner. The owner, Jim, made me feel comfortable and welcomed whenever I stepped foot in FIT Boutique, answering any questions I had regarding exercise. As an all-around very friendly and knowledgeable guy, Jim really motivated me to continue pursuing strength and good health for years to come! My goals when signing up included building muscle, endurance, and strength. My trainer, Shane, instituted growth in me through a vast amount of exercises that helped me reach my goals, and after just the first 2 sessions I was beginning to see the results I wanted. Throughout the process, he motivated me to push myself, and also made sure I felt good after each workout. Needless to say, this was a life-changing period of time for me as I gained skills, perfected form, and I continue to learn exercises. I definitely recommend you check out FIT Boutique!

    I have never been to a personal trainer, but I am a big fan of Fit Boutique. I came for the 8…read moresessions for $100 and have continued on because of the results that I have seen. After my first session, the first time working out in way too long, it was difficult pressing the button on my garage door opener. Since then I am no longer destroyed after my sessions, but know that I have had a good workout. Jim, the owner and my trainer has been cool and flexible with my schedule and has provided just the right amount of motivation without making things unpleasant. The price is a bit expensive, but you are paying for good equipment in a convenient location, and one-on-one time with a professional. When I am there, the gym is not crowded and the music has been good. Try it out - as far as I know, the $100 for 8 1 hour personal training sessions is still going.

Now I am stronger and have a whole new shape! AND more muscle increases metabolism and strengthens bones. I have gone off my bone medicine because of this place. :-) The trainers here are all great. My "regular" trainer is Sharon. But I have also used JulieAnn, Michelle, and Vicky. All are great and very professional. Do yourself a favor and call for a trial appointment.
