Planet Fitness

Unfortunately, this is not my favorite gym. The biggest issue is that it often feels very warm inside, almost as if the air conditioning isn’t working properly. The gym also seems to have too many cardio machines and not enough strength-training equipment. A large portion of the floor is dedicated to treadmills, while the selection of weight machines is fairly limited. Another thing I don’t like is the cleaning system. Instead of having convenient disinfecting wipes available throughout the gym, you have to grab paper towels and spray them yourself, which feels less convenient than what many other gyms offer. The biggest downside for me is the lack of free weights and barbells. A proper barbell setup is one of the most important parts of a gym, especially for anyone serious about strength training. Overall, the gym may work for basic workouts, but it doesn’t meet my needs.

This is an awesome gym. I wouldn’t say it’s perfect but no gym is perfect. And perfect would be boring, which is why we as humans go to Planet Fitness—because we’re not perfect yet strive to be, even though we know we will never will be. It’s that drive-and-strive that makes you feel alive. I think I just unintentionally did a corny rhyme 😬. But I’m gonna roll with it, like I do in my 64. 🚘 Just kidding. I drove a Toyota Camry. Speaking of that, the club is easy to access. The parking lot is a little wonky, but that’s fine. As far as the inside goes (more important than the parking lot when it comes to gyms), I’ll give you the good and bad. Good Tons of equipment. A lot of Smith Machines (I had no clue this would be the key to strength gains the whole time 🤦‍♂️). Plenty of cardio equipment. Six stairclimbers 💪 ! A stretching room (I don’t stretch but still cool). Three cable opportunities for chest. An insane amount of equipment for back (I go light on back to avoid injury problems and it’s a boring workout for me since no pump but still a plus for others). A light dumbbell room. Many barbells. Two pec decks (one needs WD-40). Awesome staff. Always kept clean. Usually good music (not always). Chill workout people (mostly). Bad One of the paper towel holders is broken. As you can see, the good greatly outweighs the bad. This gym is more enjoyable than the Mooresville location due to more space. The Lincolnton location is enormous with 5% the amount of people so that is a cool spot but it doesn’t have as much energy. And the Newton location is also pretty cool but not as big as Lincolnton and not as my energy as Cornelius. Btw, people are complaining about this gym for $15/month. Bro! Or ‘Bruh’ depending on your age. Highly recommended!

I’ve been a loyal Planet Fitness member for over five years, paying my monthly membership fee along with annual dues. While I appreciate having access to the gym year-round, it’s frustrating to see that every summer teenagers can work out for free for several months while long-term paying members continue to cover the full cost. I understand the goal of encouraging young people to stay active, but it feels unfair that loyal members who support the gym financially all year receive no comparable benefit or recognition. During the summer, the gym can become more crowded, making it harder for paying members to access equipment they are helping fund. I also have three boys of my own and this generation has little to no gym etiquette. I value Planet Fitness and enjoy working out here, but I think the company should consider offering some type of perk, discount, or appreciation program for long-term members when these free summer programs are offered. Loyalty should count for something too.

Update, they fixed the shower and got some.equipment in, now they just need to learn how to lay out a gym, keep arm equipment near arm equipment, but it is an improvement that is why i bumped his them to 4 star. location has a little more equipment than some. Men's room needs attention. Also if it is your 1st time here you need a photo ID , I thought was stupid

Planet Fitness is a solid gym for anyone looking for a clean, affordable place to work out. The equipment is well-maintained, the atmosphere is friendly and non-intimidating, and I never feel out of place, no matter what time I go. My favorite part is the hydro massage chair—it’s the perfect way to relax after a workout.
