    The selection of equipment is great! The personal trainers are incredibly friendly and easy to work…read morewith. The in-body system is very useful. I love the different rooms/sections, it feels super easy to navigate. However, the parking situation is pretty bad. If the Crunch-o-meter says "moderate", you'll have to circle the lot a couple times to find a place to park. There have been multiple occasions in which I've had to give up on going to the gym for a few hours/the day because there was nowhere to park. They also play the music insanely loud for some reason. I'll have my headphones (which are pretty good quality and can drown out people speaking before getting to "damaging to hearing" levels) on full blast, and I'll still be able to clearly hear the radio over my own music.

    There was an irritated comment about parking and having to wait for machines during the late…read moreafternoon/early evening at this gym. The reason that it is packed is because it's the best gym in the area. The most I've ever had to wait for a machine is maybe 10 minutes. I will pay those 10 minutes to be able to go to this facility. The front desk personnel are fantastic. When they welcome you in, it isn't like some gyms where the comment is an afterthought, they really hope you have a good workout. Even though it is a new gym, they do a good job of keeping everything in good shape. The trainers are the best! They have a good variety of personalities so you should be able to find someone who can help you reach your goals. I've worked out with three and seen other trainers working with clients. I haven't taken any classes yet, but friends have said that the classes are really enjoyable. I have done a HIIT workout challenge, which was really needed to help me get out of a rut. Highly recommend!

    I wanted to love this gym but I just can't. They have Fees FOR EVERYTHING. My card got stolen and…read morehad to put a new card on file, they charged me $60 for a "renewal fee". Cancelation fee of $25. No gyms charge a cancellation fee so that's absurd. They're restrooms are ALWAYS filthy They claim to be 24/7 but have recently changed that and are now 6am-10pm. The reason I joined was so I could workout at 5am since that's the only time that works with my schedule, just inconvenient. Smh.

    The only helpful person in this gym is the owner. Unfortunately she is hard to reach and never…read morethere (at least when I would attempt to connect with her). All I have to say is it took me more than 5 phone calls/ plus showing up to gym multiple times to finally get to owner. All her staff (who are the owners friends) are rude and will give u dirty looks. I canceled my membership bc owners employee aka friend decided to take away my friends membership based off the past drama she had with my friend years ago (in HS) and my friend was 28 yrs old at the time of the revoking. In short--the owners employees (friends) are the business' downfall. Not sure why? They must hate on their friends success. I could never be unprofessional, especially if it's someone in my circle's business. FYI--since my review coincidentally there have been multiple 5 star reviews all of a sudden. Within the same timeframe (either 1 or 4 hrs ago). Dont be fooled guys. Make sure you deal with Jackie for any needs!

    Not sparkling clean, but aside from that, it is pretty good, for the price. As others have pointed…read moreout, the equipment that is well used shows it, but I don't know if anyone has mentioned this to staff. The few times whatever bothers me has been addressed as best as the staff can. There are not so may people late in the day and at night, so I can usually find all the equipment I wish to use, perhaps not in the rotation I prefer, but I get to use them all, except one every once in a while. And this is because I get impatient, and just want to leave. The socializing I have seen is half talking and talking, and half, talking while weights are used.

    I i'm not a big fan of this establishment to begin with, but I understand why people get…read morememberships here to planet fitness is in general because they're cheap and because they have a tanning and the massage stuff so I guess it's a good value if you're looking just for a place to go to cardio and lift a couple weights and then get a tan for me personally I don't like them and I'll I'll say why now in my opinion they're always too crowded even at two in the morning there's at least like 5 to 10 people mailing around using the equipment and I'm not really a crowd person especially Gym. I find that a lot of them aren't really that well-maintained, as far as the equipment like when I'm on the elliptical and I'm not that big of a person so they sure shouldn't happen if I'm on it but it'll on some of the ellipticals when you're on them they make like a like a screeching noise and that shouldn't happen like if they're oiled properly and I know that they don't happen another so it's only couple it's only in Planet Fitness I've noticed and also just the crowd that comes in that I've noticed it's a lot of people who like to socialize a lot more than they seem to be into the into their exercise and me personally, I don't go to the gym to socialize that go just to work out so I get kind of frustrated when there's people like that not working out because it's it's distracting when you're just trying to work out and leaveand there's people taking selfies and videotaping them self, and doing all kinds of social media and what not. So yeah, that and this particular gym gets pretty packed at the prime time, it's not a gym I'd chose to work out in.

    One of the things I was looking forward to the most when planning our trip to San Antonio was…read morechecking out Joe's Gym. It's exactly the vibe I look for in a gym: a classic, no bullsh**, weights clangin and bangin, full of people who are putting in genuine hard work. Immediately upon arrival a member helped us locate the owner, Roger, who got us set up with some day passes. That alone blew me away because out here, anyone would have just let us look around lost. I'm getting really bad with names but if she's reading this I want her to know she's so appreciated. Roger was also awesome. He checked in on us once we were settled, chatted with us about what we were doing in San Antonio, and gave us recommendations for surrounding neighborhoods (we were there to check out homes for potentially moving). I always appreciate gym owners who take the time to get to know the people working out with them. It gives you that level of connection you miss out on with commercial gyms. The gym itself is not your fancy commercial gym. It's the same gym it has been the whole time with classic machines, dumbbells, racks, etc. There's plenty of room for a decent amount of people to be there at the same time and still get a great workout in. I'm telling you, if you're in San Antonio, and you want a place where you can put in genuine hard word, go to Joe's. Coming to this gym was hands down one of the best parts of our trip to Texas and I am so excited to go back!
