Turns out she is incredibly nasty. Tried to cancel my membership today IN-PERSON and she kicked me out of the gym. Mind you, this has been going on since August. I been trying to reach out to cancel my membership via phone, online, and in-person. Kept getting charges every month. Wouldn't be surprised if they try to charge me again next month lol. I ended up canceling my credit card so they can't get another penny out of me. My honest assessment of this club. It's clean, kind of small but has pretty much everything you need. The members there get along. Everyone does their best to maintain the place. Only problem is the new owner!

The party package we chose was the Grand package. This covers up to 12 kids. Upon arriving on the party day, they had fun activities all set up for my 5 year olds party. All we had to do was bring in the cake, and any other supplies we brought for food and drinks. Phoebe and Sarah did everything! Throughout the party, they introduced new activities such as a bubble machine, obstacle courses, a giant bean bag swing, and kept the attention on the Birthday boy. My son was smiling the entire time! This was by far the best venue we have celebrated any of my kid's birthdays in. All the parents of the little party guests loved how fun it was for the kids. Best parts: Cost effective. Continuous entertainment. Little to no work for the parents. Phoebe and Sarah made everything run so smoothly without any hiccups! Worst part: I should have opted for the 2 hour upgrade.

I want to share my disappointing experience with Randy, the owner of Metro Fitness. I moved In July…read moreand was committed to investing in my health before starting a really stressful job. In July, I purchased a $700 pass for 10 personal training sessions as part of a "summer special", with the promise that a master's-educated trainer would be available. Unfortunately, that trainer never started working at the gym, and I was not informed of this until late September--months after waiting and following up. Despite knowing my schedule, Randy repeatedly suggested trainers who were already fully booked. He then set me up with an unqualified intern who worked at the front desk. When I expressed my concerns, he acknowledged that this wasn't acceptable and offered Pilates as an alternative. However, that turned out to be another false promise, as no sessions or teachers were actually available. After months of back and forth and empty promises, I requested a refund, as it was clear I was not receiving the services I had paid for. Randy initially agreed but then delayed the refund, citing financial excuses like needing to wait until after the "metro gala." By November, I still hadn't received my money, and he stopped responding to my calls and texts entirely. Now it is mid January. This has been a frustrating and disheartening experience, especially as someone in a low-paying position after completing graduate school. I share this in hopes of warning others about this gym and Randy's business practices. If anyone has advice on handling situations like this, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. As an aside, I had a bad experience with a trainer there who was really creepy and asked extremely personal questions. Most of the gym is dedicated to the personal training space. There are never wipes or cleaning supplies convenient or restocked to clean equipment after use.

At one point I signed up to train with their personal trainer.

Planet Fitness was founded in 1992, in Dover, New Hampshire, when Michael and Marc Grondahl…read moreacquired a financially struggling gym and dramatically reduced prices to compete against better-known brands. Their low-cost business model focused on the needs of occasional or first-time health club members, rather than more experienced members. In 1993, the Grondahl brothers hired Chris Rondeau, Planet Fitness' current CEO, to work the front desk. Rondeau and the Grondahls recognized that there was a greater opportunity to serve a much larger segment of the population if they changed the gym environment, both in attitude and format, by creating a non-intimidating, low-cost model. Planet Fitness then became known as the "Judgement Free Zone," aimed more at the average user than the bodybuilder type of fitness enthusiast. As a fat guy, Planet Fitness is the kind of gym I want to go to. It's cheap, stocked full of plenty of equipment, and while their "Judgement Free Zone" gimmick can be a little hokey, they do tend to be patronized by people of average fitness levels just looking to get a quick work out in, as opposed to extremely serious fitness fanatics who spend hours a day at the gym. Anyone feeling self-conscious will feel welcome at their gyms, as it has always seemed to me that patrons aren't very interested in who else is at the gym or their fitness levels. The club's two membership levels are $10 and $21.99 per month: the $10 per month level includes access to cardio and strength equipment, unlimited group fitness instruction and pizza and bagels once a month; the $21.99 per month ("Black Card") level allows members to bring one guest per day at no charge, access to all Planet Fitness locations, and access to extra amenities, such as tanning booths and massage chairs. This location on Rt 11 is one of the smallest locations in the area, but one of the nicest. They recently replaced all of their equipment with brand new, much nicer models. They definitely have the best and nicest machines in the area now, and on top of that, have a couple extra machines that the other locations don't have, such as elastic cord rowing machines and stairmaster-type machines. This location also has the nicest, cleanest locker rooms of all the locations, and generally clean bathrooms. The smaller spot can tend to get busy, with less room for people to spread out, especially since it is in a pretty busy area on Rt 11. It's in a plaza, so there's plenty of room to park, and easy access to highways. It's also one of the HOTTEST locations, as it tends to be pretty full, has very small fans on the walls, and that many people working out in that close of quarters means a ton of body heat. Despite the small area, it's still one of my preferred locations.
