I wouldn't recommend my dog to come here. It's a nice sale for other things like swimming and stuff, but I don't think they maintain their bathrooms and showers and have enough exercise equipment for busy times get to wait for the machines you want. I will not be back to ever shower the toilets are safe to use much more kept up. I will be back to use the pools and things but never the shower, it's a mold experiment waiting to make someone sick.

The hours are great on weekdays - 530am - 9p but Sundays only 8a-4p - an extra hour on a sunday would be nice. The pools are bright and airy and the competition pool seems really clean. Lifeguards are friendly and seem to be paying attention to safety! CONS - For much of the year, there is a swim team that practices in the competition pool at prime after-work hours (often 4p-7p) and in the fall, there is the GUILFORD girls HS team, so it can be hard to swim after work. (But it is open at 530a for those early birds who want to swim before work!)

The space itself is very inclusive and they take anti-discrimination seriously. Pre-Covid they weren't the most attentive to cleanliness and sometimes ran out of cleaner and paper towels in the gym but that changed during Covid and they are extremely safe and strict on that and mask wearing. Gendered locker rooms, and nice showers with expensive amenities (shampoo/soaps/air fresheners). They also have a refrigerator and a common working space which was a bit utilitarian (read: the seats are uncomfortable), but hey, it existed. Plenty of parking in front and behind the building (closer to Bear's Smokehouse, even though it's a bit of a walk). Staff is friendly, but you may find that many of the people mentioned in these reviews are no longer at DAC. I would come during off peak hours and would be able to mess with the rack (two) or treadmills if I was into that. They have also have two peloton bikes that use the LOOK Delta clips so if you have SPDs, sorry. They also have a TRX machine, but I think you need a trainer with that one. I didn't love it enough to renew my membership because the fitness center is a bit small and completely got mobbed during peak hours pre COVID, but I felt like it offered a better value than similar fitness center style clubs in the area.

Plenty of parking and a friendly staff. A member of the staff was walking around wiping down equipment the whole time I was there. Also a higher percentage of members wore masks.

I debating if I'm going to change my membership to this gym , not sure yet.

This Planet Fitness has got to be the worst location I have been to. I get it is a "Judgement Free"…read morezone but this is what you get when it is the only gym in Easy Haven: bunch of meat heads with no common decency. A) I go here after work. Unlike other Planet Fitness gyms, there isn't a separate coat rack to hang your dress/work clothes on since the lockers aren't deep enough to hold a hanger. You go into the men's locker room & see multiple large lockers without locks. That is until you open each one & about 4 out of 5 have nothing but a sweatshirt in the locker. Really? Do people at this gym not understand that if you don't have at minimum a gym bag & a pair of shoes then you shouldn't be using the larger lockers. There are about 20 large lockers & maybe 12 of them are filled with just a shirt/sweatshirt because ppl don't have any common sense. b) The amount of money these places invest in the ellipticals annoys me. There are already 30 treadmills & 30 ellipticals downstairs so why is there a need for another 30 of each kind upstairs? It seems like this is how all Planet Fitness are. Has there ever been a time where even 30% of them are being used. You'd think the amount of money they could have saved for one elliptical they could install a couple larger lockers. c) And if you are on an elliptical either have a routine programmed into the thing or get off. It gets really annoying when someone is adjusting the levels every 3 seconds for 30 minutes straight. I still don't get how the engineers who made the machines didn't think that would be annoying at all. d) This part of the review goes to PF corporate. There should be more explaining by the employees upon signing up on how you cancel or relocate your membership. I moved last month & I really don't like this Planet Fitness at all & the other ones in the New Haven area are too far from work & home to make it convenient to go to. I was already sick of this PF & wanted to cancel the membership. Was then told that you can only cancel in person or by letter to your HOME gym where you signed up. By the time I wanted to cancel they had already billed me for a $40 annual fee that must have been in the fine print. e) One of the worst things is that the water is awful!!! I have never been to a gym where the water isn't at least somewhat cold. The water here is almost warm. If you don't fill up your bottle at work or home then you are better off not drinking water during your workout. I have been to about 8 PF's & this is the only one that doesn't have automatic water meant for water bottles, but hey I think they need to save money for a 61st treadmill & 61st elliptical. You go here & you think this is Globl Gym from Dodgeball with the meat heads. I am an athletic guy but the East Haven gym is more like a Powerhouse than a Planet Fitness.
