    Planet fitness overall is meant to be an entry point gym for a lot of people: and while they do…read moreexpect some people to fail($10 people who don't show up makes up what the members who do pay so they don't have to pay more) and those who really stick to it or have different goals will likely move on at some point(especially if they have kids or want nicer amenities like a sauna, which I'm not gonna lie would be killer) so I'm reviewing this gym as what it is: a starting point. I signed up for the black club membership and have been going for a little bit. The space is always clean, they have people clean equipment between use, and people who at other gyms may be inclined to harass women due to dude bro culture are more likely to think twice(aka they WILL KICK THEM OUT ASAP) Staff will show you how to use any machine if you ask, so the reviews on guests who are annoyed they can't say anything are unwarranted anyway(we appreciate it, but I'd rather not have to talk to most people at 5 am) 30 min circuit isn't often used as it's supposed to be but I'm not complaining: people are typically really courteous about it and are just taking a bit longer than recommended(which means they're getting 2/3 sets in . AWESOME!) If machines are being used all the time: it's probably cuz you're going at rush hour in the evening. I get not everyone wants to get up early but tbh it's easily avoidable. Total body enhancement machine is great: I use it for the light and to warm up and typically feel great after. Hydro massage after a workout is a MUST for recovery. Overall, will I use this gym forever? Probably not. But it's great for me to build my confidence and base skills again for a year or so before I move on. If you're thinking of starting your fitness journey here: just do it.

    I have been a member here for several years, and unfortunately my experience has gone downhill…read moresignificantly. The incident that finally pushed me to write this review happened yesterday. My husband and I came in together to work out. I was fumbling with my phone trying to pull up my barcode, so my husband scanned me in. He accidentally selected our daughter Tess's name instead of mine. I immediately went to the restroom before starting my workout. When I came out of the stall, a staff member was standing there waiting for me. She asked my name, and when I explained that my husband had accidentally selected our daughter's name but that I had my own active membership, she told me I needed to come to the front desk immediately. I told her several times that I had my membership on my phone and could show her. Before going to the desk, I simply asked if I could wash my hands first since I had just used the restroom. She refused and told me, "You need to come to the front desk right now," and then added, "You know I can kick you out of here, right?" I understand verifying memberships, but refusing to allow someone to wash their hands after using the restroom and immediately threatening to throw them out was unnecessary, embarrassing, and incredibly rude. Also, if there is an issue with someone's membership, maybe don't confront them while they're walking out of a bathroom stall. At the very least, wait until they have left the locker room. Being approached in the restroom and then denied the opportunity to wash my hands before being marched to the front desk was uncomfortable, embarrassing, and completely unnecessary. This isn't an isolated issue. Over the last several months, I've noticed a major shift in how members are treated. Staff seem increasingly focused on policing memberships to the point that interactions often feel accusatory rather than welcoming. I've also become increasingly frustrated with the amenities included in my membership. I pay for the higher-tier membership that includes things like massage chairs and tanning, yet these features frequently don't work or are "under maintenance" for weeks at a time. There was also a recent incident where I was told I could not work out until I allowed staff to take my membership photo. While I understand needing photos for identification purposes, refusing to allow a paying member to exercise until a picture was taken felt excessive and unnecessary. At this point, walking into the gym feels less like going to work out and more like trying to clear airport security. I understand verifying memberships, but I don't appreciate feeling like I'm automatically viewed as a criminal or someone trying to sneak in every time I walk through the door. I've been a paying member for years. A little common sense and courtesy would go a long way. Between the constant equipment issues, amenities being unavailable, and the increasingly rude and confrontational attitude from staff, I'm seriously considering taking my membership elsewhere.

    Steve at Inspire Fitness (in Cedar Park, TX) has been my personal trainer for probably around 12-13…read moreyears now. I am currently a 65 year old female and Steve is very well versed on effective training methods for me at this stage of my life and at my current level of fitness. While I have trained with Steve for all these years, I still struggled with managing the 'food noise' and was up and down with my weight. I have several acquaintances on tirzepatide who were seeing tremendous results in both their weight and overall health. Steve and I had a very open and frank conversation about this, and he encouraged me to do my own research if this was an avenue I wanted to pursue because he had already done his and was 100% supportive of me going down this path. I decided to see if this would help me with the 'food noise', and I started on tirzepatide in April of 2025. So far I've lost 98 pounds, my latest labs are impeccable, and know now that I have the puzzle piece that's been missing in my decades-long struggle with my weight and overall health. Steve has been there every step of the way, making sure I get the workouts I need as the weight comes off as well as encouraging me with this GLP-1 journey. Steve is kind, funny, knowledgeable, and very patient, and I cannot recommend him highly enough if you're looking for a trainer to help you be successful in getting healthier and more fit. The Inspire Fitness facility is clean, well equipped, and very well maintained. The owners (and Steve is one!) take great pride in having one of the very best facilities in the Cedar Park area. There aren't enough superlatives to convey my appreciation for discovering Inspire Fitness and specifically Steve. I can't imagine my life without Inspire Fitness!

    I train here frequently, everyone is very friendly and trainers are great. Highly recommend.read more
