This is probably one of the worst gyms I have ever been a member of…read more The facility is consistently unclean. There is often no soap available in the showers, the sauna and spa areas are filthy, paint is peeling throughout the facility, many of the machines are old and outdated, and the pool has not been properly heated for months. The pool was originally scheduled to be closed for maintenance from mid-March through April 16. However, as of May 29, it is still not fully operational. The heater remains broken, leaving the water uncomfortably cold. Throughout this process, members have repeatedly been told the issue would be fixed "tomorrow," "next week," "over the weekend," or "today." We were also told they were waiting to locate a pool heater repair specialist. Unfortunately, the promised timelines have continually come and gone without resolution, leaving many members frustrated and disappointed. After months of dealing with the pool issues, I began raising my concerns with management. The blonde manager who works the front desk during the late mornings was kind enough to refund my April membership dues due to the ongoing problems. However, when I requested a refund for May, I was told she had gotten into trouble for issuing too many refunds and could no longer assist me. At that point, I decided to cancel my membership. I do not believe anyone should have to continue paying for services that are not being properly provided. I contacted corporate, filed a formal complaint regarding the pool situation and refund request, and closed my account. I have since joined the YMCA and have been much happier with my experience. Until significant improvements are made to this location, I would strongly encourage others to consider alternative fitness facilities. Hopefully management will either invest in meaningful upgrades or take the necessary steps to address the many ongoing issues affecting members. What is most disappointing is that they were apparently willing to lose a paying customer rather than refund $39.00 for a service that has not been fully available for months. In the end, that decision cost them far more than a single refund--it cost them a member.

This is the place where I really formed my love of working out, and every time I go to another gym it just never can compete with how good this one was. This is what a gym should be in every way. The people were always great, no matter if it was the morning, afternoon, or evening I always enjoyed being in there. The equipment is all well-maintained. This place truly made me love lifting, and I hope there is a day where I can return just to have the feeling this place gave me return. In my year of going there I learned a lot from the people, who really got me into powerlifting and strength-training in general. I can safely say I don't think there is another gym which can replicate the feeling this one has. I genuinely contemplate living in Kennesaw or Acworth again just to go to this gym. Best gym in Georgia, maybe even the South-east hands down. Will try and drive the 90 minutes there sometime soon, just for the nostalgia and good lifts.

Absolutely love dancing and exercising to high energy music. All the classes here are small... Less than 15 people. No need to come early! Deborah: Medium energy, medium intensity. We were chatting and she told me that the people who go to her class are mostly beginners and have a little more difficulty following her moves, so ///if you're the type to modify the moves to be higher intensity, then make sure you stand in the back///. She said its ok to modify the moves to be lower intensity though and she's worried about other people watching people other than her. People look at whoever they want regardless of where you stand...since the mirrors reflects everybody? I like Deborah's class though because her music gives the potential to modify for a high intensity workout, but because of this, it'll probably be harder for me to come back to her class. I like to have high intensity workouts to make the most of my hour and this class won't allow it. Otherwise good workout! CYCLING I've only attended a handful. I'll update instructors as time passes but I do love it.

And you can expect for your coaches and fellow gym members to have your back throughout the process. After graduating college and entering into professional work, I missed the motivation and camaraderie that came from being a part of a team in the fitness world. At Strongside, you are part of an amazingly supportive team that you don't ever need to leave! People from all backgrounds and all walks of life are welcomed with open arms.

Planet Fitness - Member Experience & Leadership Concerns…read more (2/5) It is deeply concerning when paying members who are experiencing housing insecurity are subjected to harassment within a facility that markets itself as a "Judgment Free Zone." Whether driven by rumors or predatory behavior, targeting vulnerable individuals who are simply trying to utilize a gym they pay for is unacceptable -- and the response from certain members of leadership has been equally troubling. Staff should consistently uphold Planet Fitness's core values: friendliness, non-judgment, cleanliness, and professionalism. When members feel empowered to approach staff demanding that someone be removed solely because of their housing status -- and leadership entertains those complaints rather than protecting the targeted member -- it represents a serious failure of both culture and responsibility. To be clear: an unhoused paying member who is not violating any policies and is minding their own business has every right to be there. Anyone who harasses them should be the one whose membership is at risk, not the other way around. I have witnessed and heard accounts of certain managers threatening memberships against individuals who were themselves the victims of harassment. That is not sound leadership -- it is a liability. Harassment without cause can carry legal consequences, and when leadership enables or ignores it, they become the liability. Not everyone is equipped to lead, and those who are not should be retrained or repositioned accordingly. The same applies to staff who mirror poor leadership. Planet Fitness has the infrastructure to be a safe, welcoming space for everyone. But when predatory, slanderous, and dangerous behavior goes unchecked, that mission is undermined entirely. Accountability must start at the top.

I use the spray tan booth. I usually go the Suwanee location which is close to my work and have been going to that location for a year. Unfortunately, at the store in Kennesaw, the spray tan does not develop. The last 3 times I have gotten a spray tan at the Kennesaw location, my tan has not developed normally. I always use the dark solution and mix with iolite. When the tan develops, it is barely a tan at all and what tan there is fades away in a day or so. I do not have this issue at all at the other location in Suwanee. I am used to developing a dark bronzy color that looks fantastic. I sadly cannot visit this location anymore and I do not recommend it to anyone. As well, I am a premium member and am supposed to get a 20% discount on products, specifically the bronzer solutions that you add to the spray tan solution, and this location refuses to give the 20% discount. I was told when I signed up with PBT a year ago that I would always receive the 20% discount at any location. Not the case in Kennesaw! Sadly, even if they did decide to give me the discount, I can no longer visit the most convenient location and have to drive 20 to 30 minutes to get the closest one to me, because the spray tan booth does not work.
