The staff is nice, the weights are in pretty good shape, the machines look pretty new, and it has everything that you would want to work out. Not to mention, it has a few racquetball courts, a pool, locker rooms, and even a basketball hoop. I'm not sure of the price and that is something to call about. Luckily, I get in for only $5 due to my profession. Overall, it's great.

This chain of gyms was bought out by Lifestyle Fitness…read more That's when things started going down the drain. I have been treated rudely several times by the employees. Either they are not trained properly or they follow the owners' directions (even worse). The employees (and probably the owners) know absolutely nothing about gym etiquette. Seems like they just bought this business w/o a clue of what a gym should be like to have satisfied customers. First of all, I have never heard of a gym opening at 10 o'clock, same time that the first class starts! Not even the courtesy of opening few minutes earlier to get the people in so they can do some warm up and take care of various business, like getting dressed!! They used to close at 8:30 M-Th (the earliest of any gym I've been), now they close at 7!! Incredible, never heard of such a thing. Oh, okay they sell 24-7 cards. So, I guess you're kind of steered that direction. That's pretty crappy. The monthly fee is as high as I've paid anywhere else. But now, I've not seen that monthly charge reduced to compensate for the shorter hours. They have all kinds of rules posted around the gym. You can actually walk around just to look at all the signs to entertain yourself (done that myself few times). And the funny (?) thing is that their own trainers don't follow them!! On two occasions I personally saw a woman trainer load the leg press with 4 45-lb plates per side and just leave it there ... for the next one to unload. I've been called a "ghost" by one of those working at the desk. I've been asked "to leave with me" by a woman at the desk when it was approaching 5 min. to closing. The same one that, when I pointed at the sign showing closing time half hour later, called her boss to complain because she would have gotten stuck there another 30 min. They immediately got rid of that sign and put a new one up. Every gym I've been, there is a courtesy of giving people 5/10 extra minutes to complete their workout. Don't expect that here!! Part of a gym's etiquette is to not bother someone while he is training. Don't expect that here!! I have been interrupted few times and once when I actually was under the weights! I see my review is getting pretty long. More on next installment.

It is a very small gym and you can absolutely hear everything, especially on the elipticals and treadmills. There were two women on the elipticals, having the time of their life talking (again loudly). I was on a nearby machine trying to listen to a book when my husband told them they were disruptive. As we were leaving the owner told us to never come back because my husband had actually talked to one of the women. The also said that he wasn't going to say anything to them and WE were the disruptive ones. We were equally entitled to be treated respectively as we also were PAYING MEMBERS of this gym. This is a very social gym with a LOT of talking. But hey! We found a great gym with with more amenities, machines and welcoming staff the very next day. So, thanks Stan you did us a favor.

Overall, my experience at Planet Fitness in Kingsport was.... Average…read more Cleanliness - the facility was very clean and tidy. The locker rooms are small but well kept up. This was a highlight of the visit. Staff - the staff was friendly and greeted me upon entering. I had some questions never having been there before, and they were answered quickly and politely. Even while they were walking around cleaning, they were talking to people and creating a friendly environment. Selection of equipment - there was a wide selection of equipment of free weights and machines for people to use. While there was a steady number of people there I never noticed a significant wait for anything.. Quality of Equipment - this is where the biggest opportunity for improvement is. I went four days last week and there was at least two or three pieces of equipment that were out of order each day. In addition, there were several machines that seemed to be on their last legs and needing some tune-ups. Overall, it was a positive experience and if they were to get their equipment functioning better, it would move into the 4 to 5 star range.

Went in to quit the gym last month (March) The guy at the front desk, tanner, told me that if I…read morewaited one more month that it would be cheaper to just make a membership fee payment then to cancel that day and pay the $60 cancellation fee. He told me to come back in the month of April after I made my April payment to come in and cancel. Here it is. After my April payment I go in and they tell me that I need to come back in June in order for that to happen!! This really sucks because no one documented that I came in to cancel my membership and this guy gave me false information having me give the gym an extra payment on top of the $60 cancellation fee. Since the new owners have taken over this gym sucks! And the two girls that help me at the front desk were both managers! Glad I cancelled!!!!!

One of the perks of joining is the pool and Aquatic Center are included in the price. Everything looks new and is kept very clean. When the medicine ball was falling apart at the seams it was replaced.

This studio was…read moreminutes from my hotel, had easy parking and I could walk through the cute downtown after for coffee and brunch. I took two different classes of different styles and really enjoyed them both. The studio was quite a bit smaller than I'm used to so I had to take care not to whack a neighbor, and the use of a microphone (especially in such a small space) threw me off. I loved the tunes on the playlists - I can never get through a silent class (I actually actively avoid them). The instructors were were respectful of those not wanting any hands-on corrections and the encouragement and energy was palpable. The bathroom was really big and had several showers available, which I made use of the second morning to save time. And the instructors were kind enough to direct me to amazing coffee and brunch both mornings - much appreciated! I wanna go where the locals go! I'd definitely take class her again. Very enjoyable.

The traditional classes, which are few, are only hot yoga.
