I've been holding off on doing a review because I wanted to keep this as my little secret, but I…read morecan't be selfish :-) I was searching for an affordable gym that wouldn't be overflowing with people before and after work. I wanted a gym that gave me the feeling I used to get when I first started working out using the gym at my apartment complex, and I wanted the freedom to access it at almost any time. I had tried PF and The Y, but they were always crowded and I often had to wait to use certain equipment. I happened upon Goins Strong Fitness by way of a Google search. It was after business hours when I called, but Jessica picked up and answered ALL of my questions. I signed up on the phone, she emailed me the final documents, and I was there the next morning. The gym is open from 4 in the morning until 10 at night, which is a lot more flexible than most gyms in the area. There are 6 different areas that are filled with all the equipment you want, including multiple treadmills, ellipticals, stair masters, Jacob's ladder, stationary bikes, spin bikes, free weights, weight machines, steppers, jump ropes, and more! There are separate locker rooms for men and women, as well as a sauna and showers. The price is half of what I paid for my Y membership and there aren't any contracts or annual fees. Bradley and Jessica are not only competitive fitness champions with bodies to prove it, they are also some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. I absolutely LOVE it there!!! (...and I live in Gastonia, which is a 12 minute drive from the gym. Not sure why it says California.)

Not crowded and plenty of space to work. It's an open layout. Plenty of free weights, machines, and treadmills. Clean and friendly staff. Recommended. Since this the first time I had a First Review on Yelp, I bought a cake at the nearby Publix to celebrate. Always looking for an excuse to buy cake. Darn good cake, too! There goes my workout.

Pretty impressive that they're able to keep the gym running 24/7 while controlling entry with fob access. There's even a shower in the back. Membership options come in monthly, 12 month and 24 month options with access to gyms worldwide after the initial 30 days. There's also a discount on the biweekly dues if you sign up for EFT using a checking account.

I had a duplicate membership that I paid for for over a year and…read moreinstead of getting help I was told to sign a paper and it relinquished my rights to legal action against planet fitness and I was told "it's already done you can't do anything about it". so I cancelled my active membership in person. I tried calling corporate and they laughed at me. But alas I didn't learn my lesson. I got a membership again. after canceling it I found out I have been paying for a membership for over a year. And once I issued a stop payment I started getting collection calls about the membership I had already cancelled. stay away from planet fitness it's not worth it.

Made trip to do just that and the kid at the counter told me it was done. Planet Fitness took close to $100 out of my account so I called and was told by an Asst manager that they would refund the money, but Manager today refused to stand by her Assistant Manager and told me it was false information and was rude and absolutely refused to refund my money or take my bank account information off the computer. There is no way out of this. What a horrible way to do business. Beware Beware Beware

I was once a member at the Y in a different county so I was doing a lot of comparisons to see if I would like it before I committed. I found the staff to be friendly. The facility was clean. The locker room to the pool needed to be cleaned and the shower curtains need to be replaced immediately. The equipment was clean and neat and the floors look very nice. The boat area was neat and the path at the lake was nice. There were a lot of people working on and watching the football games as this was a Sunday. There were a few teenagers inside but the majority were grown adults. Not sure it will be the same during the week but I'll see. The parking lot was neat and no crowds of people. Seems like a mature crowd was there. I saw older seniors and millennials working out. Middle aged men and women. I saw a lot of younger adults in the yoga room. So, I look forward to beginning my workout journey at this facility.
