I swear this is the CLEANEST gym I've ever been to. And I mean ever. I've been going to gyms for the past 30 years and this gym is always spotless. While Planet Fitness may not have the heaviest dumbbells or free squat racks or barbell bench presses, this gym is clean as could be. I go to the Planet Fitness in Pomona and Chino as well. This one is by far the cleanest. What REALLY TOOK ME BACK was how the General Manager Diana actually goes around with the vacuum and personally keeps her gym clean. I've worked out at countless gyms and I've never seen the GM do that. They were always too good or too above that. Very humble and professional leadership on her part. Might have to switch gyms soon since 75lb dumbbells are too light for me. But I really like this gym and the simplicity of it as well as their clean locker rooms and recovery room. Very nice gym for the price. This gym makes 24Hour Fitness look like a homeless shelter. read more

That receptionist named Carter is a racist. All I did this morning was forget to update my payment method--my latest payment was just one day overdue. The app. popped up a reminder window, and as usual, I selected the "pay later" option and scanned the QR code to enter for my workout. However, Mr. Carter insisted that I pay immediately, even making derogatory remarks about Asians having no creditworthiness. I retorted, "Since the software itself allowed me to scan my way in, am I somehow freeloading off you personally?" Yet he continued to follow me relentlessly, even trying to argue with me while I was using the restroom. Honestly, this is exactly the kind of "caliber" you get from the staff at cheap gyms. read more

Their membership deal is a scam they don't let you cancel the membership without jumping through a million hoops you have to show up to the exact Club where you purchase the membership or you have to send them a posted letter it's ridiculous I had to go through 3 months of this just to cancel it read more

I absolutely love Planet Fitness! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is positive, welcoming, and judgment-free -- exactly what their slogan promises. Whether you're new to working out or have been training for years, this gym makes it easy to feel comfortable and motivated. The staff is always friendly and professional. They greet you with a smile, keep the facility spotless, and are quick to help if you ever have a question about the equipment or your membership. I've noticed how consistently clean everything is -- the locker rooms, restrooms, and workout areas are always well maintained, which makes a big difference. The gym layout is great: there's plenty of space between machines, and I've never had to wait long for equipment, even during busier hours. The cardio section is huge, with rows of treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals. The strength-training area has a wide variety of machines and free weights perfect for all fitness levels. I also appreciate the HydroMassage beds and Total Body Enhancement booths -- amazing perks that make recovery feel luxurious! Another thing I really like is the 24-hour access at many locations. It's convenient for anyone with a busy schedule, and the membership prices are extremely reasonable for what you get. The Black Card membership is totally worth it if you like traveling or visiting different locations -- it gives you flexibility, guest privileges, and extra amenities. What sets Planet Fitness apart is the culture -- it's genuinely a judgment-free zone. Everyone is focused on their own goals, and the staff encourages a positive, respectful environment. It's the perfect place for beginners who might feel intimidated at other gyms, as well as for regulars who want a clean, friendly, and affordable fitness space. If you're looking for a gym that combines cleanliness, great equipment, friendly staff, affordable memberships, and a motivating atmosphere, Planet Fitness is definitely the place to be. Every visit leaves me feeling stronger, healthier, and happier. read more

Tired of them putting up a sign saying there a female working in the mens lockerroom when theres plenty of men working in the establishment. It's awkward, uncomfortable, and it puts a burden on my schedule when i have to lookout for a female in my locker room. read more

I like the equipment but I don't like how the staff talks with other members. Extremely disrespectful and rude. Bathrooms are disgusting and always have a foul smell. read more

Went here for the first time because I didn't realize this is the only (I think) PF location that opens 24/7 - now that's pretty neat! I'll list the pros and cons below. Pros: * open 24/7 * variety of equipment * staff is nice * hydromassage beds are controllable - you can start your session early or when you want (at other locations, I have to wait 3 minutes before the bed starts) Cons: * a bit on the smaller side for a gym (less space to walk & less walking room) * extremely stuffy; I sweated more than usual here because it felt like there was no A/C, air flow, or ventilation in the building * for the smith machines, it seemed like they were all taken and for much longer than usual (I worked out for 45 minutes and the stations were FULL for at least 40 minutes of my workout) * one staff member in particular was nice, but he seemed more into the conversation he was having with a random client and there was a line of two of us waiting to sign in to use the massage chairs * black membership section isn't as private as other locations (no door separating this from the gym so anyone can walk in) * a guy was moaning loudly every 5 seconds every time he stretched near me; may not necessarily a location-specific problem, but this also represents the kind of people you may expect to find at this gym Is it the best location I've been to? Not at all. But would I go here again? Yes, only when I need to utilize the 24/7 option and go at a later time than "normal" closing hours. read more

They say the best thing to do when you're in the middle of several different crises happening at once-- is to go to the gym. I'm an LA girl, getting myself familiar with Orange County after deciding to quit my job and having post-pone the long awaited, cross-country drive to my new, soon-to-be, home address- waaaay out on the east coast. You see, what happened was my cat got out of the pet- carrier I had gotten her and made a run for it when I stopped to pull over and opened the door. No biggie, it's happened before.. however; this time she completely disappeared. I'm devastated and don't know what else to do but to try to continue being active. I walked into this location, relieved it was 24 hours. I was greeted by David and Taylor who politely informed me of the "no cash" policy they have. Mind you, I'm not from the area and my phone was dead, so I asked if it would be possible to charge my phone at the outlet located beneath the hand sanitizer dispenser (which was stocked! I checked) I asked them both if they had any tips on locating my cat in Santa Ana. They didn't lol but at least they were kind enough to hear me out. Thanks guys, I'll be back again soon. Cheers! read more

A solid gym but kinda limited due to the idiots who just lallygag around on the machines chilling with their friends like they're at the mall. Some people seem to be there all night which is whatever but can be a bit weird if you're trying to use the massage chair but someone is there sleeping but pretending to be using the chair. Staff is mostly chill and good outside of a few. No biggie. I wish they enforce some of the rules more. I don't wanna hear some d bag singing out loud while "working out". read more

For $10 and if you have a pretty open schedule it's worth it!! I come here during the day or on the weekends when it's basically empty. If you go on a weekday around 3-7pm good luck lol. It's full of high schoolers and there isn't anything available. But lucky for me I come Sunday / Monday and sometimes super late on weekdays. Otherwise I just go to classes on classpass! But this is perfect for a quick cardio or lift read more

Cool local gym. I want to say thank you to Jake for helping me sign up and being so kind. Everything went smoothly and he explained everything perfect. I would recommend this place to others. read more

For anyone that likes this gym - I love that for you! Personally, I was not a fan. This PF location is on my way home from work, so I decided to try it instead of driving further to my usual location. Nope, the extra long drive is worth it to me! This PF is small and cramped. The cardio machines do not have their own tvs and face other workout areas, I waited multiple times for equipment and couldn't even get 10lb dumbbells for a while, there's no TRX area, there's hardly any open space for lifting dumbbells or stretching, the machines and weights looked aged, the parking lot felt sketchy, I did not see the employees greeting/saying bye to guests, the crowd was heavily male...I can just get an overall more comfortable and pleasant experience elsewhere. To their credit, they had a decent locker room/bathroom/shower area, it was generally clean, and no obnoxious "lunk alarm" decor on the wall. read more

Security sits all day on his phone and harasses the people who come to the gym. Every time I come to work out I do work on my phone and this security or one of his compas come walking up on me and start harassing me. I've gone to many planet fitness across the state (north and south) this is the most weird one. The security outside ruin it. I have family down the street from here and I'm a local customer I do work in the area and I have my PO Box out here and I still get harassed by security?! Not to mention I've been eating at that flame broiler since 2015 ( that's 10 years boy I've been supporting the local businesses) I bought a pair of eye glasses from the optometrist and they still were harassing me I can show you the receipt I pay for a black card at planet fitness and I park at the gym and they tell me to leave. They should get rid of these security for harassing paying customers no wonder all they do is business have gone. (FYI I see a group of dudes standing by Cancun juice for hours and he doesn't tell them anything) I think the security is a racist!!! read more

The gym is fine. I'm more pissed about the harassment of the rent a cop security guard dingus who monitors me always too close. Gross. I want to join a different gym since this gym has the worst security ever. I was minding my own business, packing my bag for the gym. And here comes rent a cop, here comes rent a cop, fat and really lame. ( sing it) he's always harassing me here. Btw I wasn't here even an hour before his fat butt came up. So, he Thinks I'm going to hang out all day in this gross parking lot? Dumb rent a cop. I have the front window shade always up in my car due to many creepy men always watching and staring at me. He wouldn't even understand that. And it's totally legal to go to the gym I paid for, get a life rent a cop jerk! He should workout, instead of annoying a woman who's already dealing with poverty, no living family, and a stream of shark like men always trying to get at her. After losing my son, and escaping a toxic abusive/Narcissistic relationship, I have zero energy for this!!!!! I wanted to shower, go on the massage chair and try to de-stress. Yes, I'm living in my car but I'm not staying in this sketchy gross parking lot a-hole! Get a clue! Not everyone in my situation is a bad person or a druggy!!! I hate this place, and it's not at all shocking anymore what people think or try. But he wouldn't know a thing about that. He's a fat man who needs a gym membership. So frustrating. Long Beach showers suck so much ass, but they won't be up your ass for existing! I'm trying to get through school to get back on my feet and not without constant harassment. I hate Costa Mesa now. No more. Enjoy! read more

My boyfriend David is a black pass member so we are checking out the different locations. Staff:1 Star. The younger gentleman (Persian maybe) at the front desk was kind of rude. David asked him for direction on the biceps machine and the employee pointed us to the free weights. Machine and weights :3 stars selection is not as abundant as other locations There is a section for hips and and, that was cool if you want a quick circuit. 4 stars for that. Parking: 5 stars - lots of parking, not many shops in the shopping center read more

The facility is well kept. The staff are generally friendly. My issue with this location is the cleanliness of the physical showers and shower curtains in the women's' locker room. The curtains are nasty with brown substances and the showers are not cleaned thoroughly or everyday, for health, aesthetic and sanitation reasons, I find that inadequate and unsatisfactory. Also, instead of hand dryers that are known to breed germs and fecal matter that spray around the showers. I would prefer paper towels instead. If that is not an option, at least an option for paper towels in a bathroom at all would be ideal. Why aren't there paper towels? Overall, decent place. I'm glad it's 24/7. read more

Employees take all the front spots overnight into morning. They shouldn't be able to park where most customers prefer to park. Make designated parking. Be better please planet fitness new owners. This place went downhill after Covid. The new ownership really messed things up. Showers still have shit and dirty mats in front of them. I'm literally so grossed out by the filth. The black floors in lockers don't let you know what you're stepping on. I can only imagine how gross the blacked out locker room floors are. The lockers have never been cleaned in over 2 years. It's obvious. At least they change the shower curtains every so often now. One little update. Now keep going! Don't stop! Make it better! You got this! Please hire maids to keep the place clean. Don't be cheap! read more

This whole experience was awful. Your employees sent me on a wild goose chase to three different locations to transfer my membership which I finally found out after a month of working with employees that don't know anything I was told I can't transfer with 90 days. Then I go to cancel and they won't let me so they send me to another location where i stayed for 45 minutes before they told me I was at the wrong location and need to go to another one. Great waste of time. When I get to the next one I get a charge of 58$ just to cancel ontop of paying for another month I'm not even going to use. To which one of your employees told me I can get around the charge by blocking it on my bank account. After 20 min I found out no actually I can't do that. So I pay the ridiculous fee which by the way I only got the membership because you guys advertised it as cancel any time no hassle. Absolutely ridiculous this membership was a scam they were having me pay for a membership I couldn't even use because it was the wrong location but refused to help me fix it. read more

This place used to be good and a peaceful place to workout, after they hired new people coming out from the pandemic it's been really awful. There's been weeks where cleaning supplies have run low or nonexistent. Over night staff is very much and issues, half the time playing games, drawing or talking to each other which is fine if the facility was maintained still. A lot of the amenities for black card aren't maintained properly or are not working properly. Under multiple times I've been accosted, harassed and assaulted by an employee of theirs that works over night (at worst spraying industrial cleaning agent on and around me to the point I couldn't breath/exacerbated my asthma) just to get me to leave. I complain to management and they decided to make me be an issue instead of resolving the matter, I guess they are that desperate for workers. That to me speaks volumes of how a patron is treated in a place that is supposed to be judgment-free and safe to workout; I have definitely have not felt this lately. Bathrooms stay a mess even after they have "supposedly" cleaned them and often times are not restocked; I've taken unaltered unedited pictures of this right after they have "cleaned" and they basically decided to retaliate toward me instead of fixing the issue. Have tried contacting the management over email and phone several times just to be dismissed or ignored. As a person with disabilities, I would strongly suggest to use a different gym other than this one until they fix a lot of their issues, including their employment of aggressive/assaultive immature employees. I have gone to this gym for over five years and have been with this company for over 8, never have I experienced such disrespect and lack for the costumer well being; I have never been made to feel unsafe by a gym and it's staff until now and this location. read more

I'm writing this review to help clients make informed decisions based on my experience. On Tuesday, February 4, a male entered the women's locker room. He identified himself as a woman. Even after I reported it, management told me there was nothing they could do about it. Women, be cautious and avoid this gym because our ability to change freely in the locker area is dubious. read more

A very decent place to work out. I appreciate that it's 24/7 and most of the time the machines are clean and not broken. I come later in the day so I have no issues with people taking up machines. My only complaint is that every night at around 10:30ish a homeless man comes in and sits at the lounge area playing piano. This wouldn't be a problem, save for the fact that he never seems to come and work out and has a particular smell to him. I've started avoiding the lounge as of late. Anyways aside from that specific guy this gym is a solid 6/10 read more

This is the only location in the area that will not let you try the gym before you get a membership. $20 for a day pass is more than their monthly membership. It also smells like sweaty feet. Stay away from this greedy location. read more

Very clean facility no matter what time of day (even during peak hours) the staff maintains a cleanly environment! Friendly staff.

Worst customer service ever!!! Hung up on me after telling me to f off because he didnt want to help!!! I will never join them again!!! I had to call back 4 times to speak to someone willing. Its absolutely mot okay to treat paying customers like this!! Worst gym. read more

I went to the gym and I've been coming there for like a month almost 2. I don't like coming here because of the employees and their attitude but I assume it has to be the 24 hour shift schedule affect but they chose to work here but here what and has been happening lol There is this one planet fitness employee named by Lisa who does make faces carries a very belittling demeanor and talks a lot about the people that are coming into the gym that I have noticed with two other male employees She purposely saw me with cash in my hand and so did the other employee behind her watching her type or work the computer then proceeded to ignore my request about purchasing a water after she checked me in then proceeded to check someone else in. She then try to say something to her coworker under her breath after she had told me that we don't take cash after making me wait for five minutes for her to do whatever she was doing on the computer I was waiting for her to finish up not wanting any negative energy just wanted to work out. I didn't mind what she was doing, but she did all that for her own personal gain. I told her why not say something about me having the cash in my hand then stating we don't take cash. She then quickly turned to her male coworker manny or Emmy a male trying to say something under her breath irritated I then told her to whip herself back around and that wasn't appropriate service. In short Don't come here they judge and talk behind your back and will play in your face about water bottle purchases read more

Jake and Angel are the best staff members there! I've been going for a year now at this location and I have never been disappointed. Super clean and all the machines are always in working condition so all these negative reviews about broken machines and rude staff , probably came out of where the sun doesn't shine. 10/10 and for the price I can't complain ! read more

Amazing staff, Great customer service. Some equipment, not all, are funky. Management is Great as well but corporate needs to do better in assisting this facility. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION! Planet Fitness Costa Mesa on Harbor No issues with the staff or the company - it's only the location and security of it! There is a rehab facility right upstairs. I have been chased by a screaming man in the parking lot. Barely got into my car in time. When I called to report it, the front desk lady described him and said "yeah, he came in and spat on me." Today, while a was working out, someone came in with a bolt cutter and stole everything out of my locker. Including my wallet (only $10 in cash but three credit cards), my car keys, my friend's wallet (with $200 in cash and her debit cards). They unlocked my car but miraculously didn't steal it. We both canceled all of our cards and have been getting alerts of them trying to use them. Just got one from Macy's in Los Cerritos and the Nintendo Store in Redmond. The workers said they had been robbed just last week. They know they need cameras that cover the parking lot but still haven't implement them. This is a very unsafe location. read more

I've mentioned to the manager personally 3 times that the fan in tanning bed 1 is broken and to several employees. It's been two months and it still hasn't been fixed. It's ridiculous to me that they can't get it fixed. It's pretty uncomfortable to stand in a hot tanning bed with no fan. And when I ask for a different tanning bed half the employees give me a hard time. I've let it go. But hoping to put this out there and maybe someone higher up will ACTUALLY do something about this. read more

This place is horrendous. My boyfriend and I have been charged for over a year!! We called, went in and cancelled and they continued to charge us. You are unable to speak to a member in management who is higher up, as the rest of the reviews have in common with us. We had to finally shut off our business card which is the ONLY way we were able to finally get the billing to Stop! This franchise is stealing money from what it looks like based on everyone's reviews! How can you guys rip customers off especially during Covid when the gym was shut down!? I've spoken to other customers who were having issues as well and couldn't stop their membership during Covid. I need somebody to contact me as I had these billing issues before Covid and this is still not been resolved! read more

I've been visiting the Costa Mesa Planet Fitness 2-3 times a week since April 2022. I've found the staff to be friendly, the equipment clean and the cleaning supplies usually available. I'd like to see at least two rowing machines and an additional pec fly/reverse fly machine. I'd also like the water machine to have cold water. For some reason, it's always warm. read more

This gym is the definition of Horrible. Horrible- causing or likely to cause horror; shocking. Very unpleasant From the start of COVID I was charged 3 months while they were closed. Never got my money back, you can not get a hold of Corporate and absolutely no one at the gym will help you get in contact with someone higher up. They are a franchise, saying 0 down and 0 to sign up. After they opened again I signed up again dumb of me. I hear they are closing down again, so I call to cancel my membership. They say I have to come in to do it missing work for this. Also they charged me today for this month the day they are closing down they charge me an say I did not cancel 7 days in advance so they can't reimburse my money. Place is a joke! They say no judgment here and have a luck alarm haha so contradicting. This place is the worst example of a business. Please never use them ever! read more

Highly recommended!! Great gym! Affordable, plenty of machines and what's best about this gym is that it's 24 hours. I'll hit it in the morning around 4a then later in the evening at 6p. Usually busy around 4-640p so that's when I try focusing on cardio. You'll be lucky to get a treadmill. Overall the staff are great! Tanning bed, Message room all work! Thank you guys for providing a nice. Clean safe environment! Judgment free zone!! ;) read more

Planet Fitness - Getting in where I fit in - Gyms Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I always go at night to avoid crowds (I'm agoraphobic) and all the overnight crew are so chill and comfortable. They seem to understand like no one wants "HEY! How are you, what's up how's it hanging?!" at 2 am, just a nod or a wave. A lot of gym staff elsewhere tend to make me feel crowded and watched by being "super attentive"/high energy even in the middle of the night, when it's somehow even creepier bc you're the only one there and ALLLLL the focus is on you. so yeah, if you want chill vibes come at night - or y'know, don't, because I enjoy not having to fight for machines! read more
