Was a good place to workout before they "updated" the equipment. They greatly reduced the amount of machines to make room for free weights. The 30 minute circuit was removed from its area and now supplements the machines they removed so the gym doesn't look sparse. This means it is almost impossible to complete a 30 minute circuit in time (and keep your heart rate up) because you will have to wait for the people who camp out on the machines to rest between their 3 sets on one machine. The majority of people there camp out on machines texting or scrolling on phones while they rest. It takes awhile to complete muscle groups on machines because of this. Until this location brings back the dedicated 30 minute circuit and adds machines back, I will not return. Joining another gym next month. Sad about management's change to attract free weight body builders by losing members who prefer machines and a quick workout. I really liked it before the change and referred a lot of people there. read more

This used to be a great location, until they "updated". They deleted many machines I used daily, there is no more 30 minute work out room, it's basically unorganized. I will not go back to this location. read more

This isn't it. The entire staff is odd. A few months ago there were a few people that were great but I'm not sure what happened. I went in today to cancel my membership (my complex has a gym). Walked in, no one greeted me even though there were 3 people at the desk. EVERYONE was on their phones. I went up to one and told her I was canceling and she just pointed to the other guy (still no verbal communication). Went to the other guy leaning on the desk looking at his phone. The 3rd guy had to tap him to let him know I was there. My membership was finally cancelled but I've never felt so uncomfortable in a place that prides itself on being inclusive. read more

Very roomy - not crowded all. Meaning there is enough room in the empty aisles between the machines. I've been to a couple PF where I felt like the guy next to me was breathing down my shoulder. Everything is organized. For example, leg machines on one aisle, while the back/abs machines are in the aisle across. There are sections and sections of machines grouped together and it makes sense for anyone, whether you're a beginner or advanced. As a beginner, I appreciate the fact that I don't have to look and scout for the machines that I need to use. Clean - there are a ton of cleaning stations scattered throughout the facility. I'm a nurse and a clean freak so this is awesome. You literally have no excuse to clean your station! Plus, it's flu season so I'm kind of OCD lol. The black card spa is on point. Although I've never had the time to use the massage chairs and hydro massage beds, I can't wait to use these guys in the future! Note: you must have a black card membership to use these "extras." Other stuff - besides tons of tvs, mirrors, a water bottle filling station, showers and changing rooms, and hair dryers at this location... I really have nothing bad to say about this Planet Fitness! I'll be returning with my fiancé (he gets in for free since i have the black card membership - also another perk)! read more

Max and hi team are awesome the place stay clean and he is always a nice guy thanks for all your hard work

Older PF but wonderful staff and provides everything I need for a good workout. No complaints.

So....yeah. I'm 4 months late on my New Year's Resolution of getting back in the gym. Better late than never though, right? I actually signed up online in January, but just got the nerve up to actually get off my rump and get started. Until now. This location is fairly new- maybe two or three years old. There are multiples of all the cardio machines, so you probably won't have to wait on one, unless someone's on your favorite. There are strength training machines, weights, a 30 minute workout area and a stretch area as well. The black card perks include a tanning area, massage chairs and hydromassage beds. I have a natural tan, so I won't be using the tanning area, but the massage areas are a great addition. There's also Will, a fitness trainer, available via appointment, that will customize a fitness plan just for you. For free. There are many televisions for your viewing pleasure. Music plays on the speakers but not too loud that you can't hear your own playlist. Lockers and showers are available too. Most of the gym amenities with a few added perks. For $20 per month, you get a great deal. I'm happy I gave them a try for my fitness goals. read more

This is my gym. I've been a member for about a year and a half. I've been consistently pleased with the location- staff is friendly and everything is usually pretty clean, including the equipment and the locker room. I go at the busiest of time of day (6-7 pm) so it is usually crowded, but I've never had any major issues being able to use the equipment I want. I do have the Black Card membership, and the use of massage chairs/hydromassage beds is a pretty nice perk. Overall it's a great gym at a good price point ($10/mo regular, Black card is $22/mo with a 1-year commitment). read more

***WARNING TO ALL!*** While this location has nice staff and a pretty good set up. The showers fkng SUCKS!!!!!!! The water is not only extremely weak but it also takes 10 minutes to get half way warm and then it is only warm for three minutes MAX! Cold showers may be good for you but when you don't feel like taking one it is infuriating. And please pray that no one flushes the toilet while you are in there. Then you may just flip your sht. read more

I just turned 50 and over the last 9 months have lost 52 lbs with diet and exercise. I was a power lifter in my 20's and 30's and as I've grown older and after multiple motorcycle wrecks thought my days of being fit were over. I first walked into the Irondale Planet Fitness and was greeted by Max, the manager and immediately felt welcome. I felt no pressure or fear of starting my physical health journey and have found nothing but encouragement from the entire staff. tge facility is impeccably clean and weights and machines are always in perfect working order. I learned today that Kaylee has been promo to Assistant Manager. she is is professional, attentive and truly cares about the members. this gym continues and I have made great contacts and even a few friends in this all inclusive environment. I'm proud to be a member of this facility. read more

Great place to workout and tan. Warm caring staff. And all the people you run into are very friendly. read more

I REALLY wish that they had a recumbent step machine like other locations! I injured my Achilles tendon last year and that cardio machine is about all I can handle, other than the recumbent bike. Please consider adding one! read more

I am giving planet fitness 5 stars, not because they are the best gym out there. They are getting 5 stars because they are the best gym out there at a really great price point. This location is very close to my house. So when the temperatures this summer soared, it was a must need to have an A/C workout space. We have not been disappointed yet. First of all, the people are always so friendly and nice. They are open 24 hours a day during the weekdays and reasonable times on the weekends. The equipment is nice and everything that needs restocking is always stocked. The have a 30 minute workout area that helps you get in a pretty quality workout if you need it. I also love that they have an alarm that goes off if people are slamming down weights. A real meathead deterrent... which is nice. Great gym for the price. No complaints. read more

I got to give it up to the staff right about now. I lost my AirPods as I do sometimes unfortunately but without the help of these humans I'd be so bummed. Seriously a special thanks to Amanda in the morning is always on top of her game and Taylor who brought me the AirPods with a big old smirk on his face I really appreciate the kindness you guys have and it definitely makes me want to come work out here more often.There is too many good things to Say but for now I'm just a big old thank you. read more

Great gym for a great value! I use the $10/month plan. There are lots of cardio machines - two kinds of elliptical, treadmills, and stationary bike at least. No rowing machines, that I have seen. There are free weights and weight machines, an area for stretching, and a 30-minute weight work out area. The gym and the locker rooms are pretty clean, and the staff is nice. Haven't run into anyone creepy or too intense yet, which is always a plus at the gym! read more

The main attraction for me to this gym is the price. $10 a month for membership is a great deal. My only wish is that they had spin classes like at the YMCA. I know for $10 a month you cant really expect that. Now I just need to go more often! read more

I'm not the biggest fan of this location. They get three stars because the staff is so great and it's always clean but they lose two stars because the equipment is so outdated. Please do some updates soon! read more

It's close to my home and the staff is great! They aren't very big and not as much equipment as other locations but still a great place to work out. read more

I wish I could give this gym negative stars!As far as planet fitness goes, some are excellent and some are horrible. This is one of the horrible ones! Biggest reason has already been commented on by multiple people, which is they have no adequate shower. Their shower is freezing cold which is unacceptable for a gym! Not only that, the staff are fully aware of this problem. They also say that the owner/manager is well aware and no one can do anything about this! Somebody else has already given a warning about it and I'm going to do the same! There are actually other great planet fitness locations in Birmingham including Vestavia and Trussville. Don't waste your time with this one! Oh, by the way, they also close if the weather calls for rain! This is no lie! If it rains even a little bit or if the weather is even calling for snow, they shut down for almost an entire day! Last time when it didn't even snow, they were closed for over a day! With so many other gym options, this place is a complete bust!!! read more

I wish I didn't have to give even one star. I haven't used my membership in months and tried canceling for the 12 month period a little early. They wouldn't let me and told me to come back on 1/14. I came back on 1/13 and they still charged me for an additional month because I didn't cancel by the 10th (their billing date) even though I did exactly what they told me when I visited them months ago about canceling. I talked to the manager and he was ugly about the whole thing and told me they didn't give refunds. This is just bad business. read more
