I used to go to the planet fitness in Fairview but unfortunately because I no longer have a car I no longer come here. This gym is huge and with lots of parking spaces available. The staff was friendly and the locker rooms were clean. It would get crowded after work hours but that's typical for a gym. I probably would still go here if I had a car. Great overall gym. read more

It's a loss to the company to hire and work with those kinds of staff. It's really stupid to lose customers with individual emotions without knowing how things are going. I know they work part-time, but it was really rude and the worst experience. I don't even want to think about it again. With 1 hour left, I could have asked for a free pass, and if it wasn't allowed, they should have explained it to me enough. Instead of saying leave if you don't like our store, or call the police. ‍ Barry& Alicia Very unpleasant person. I felt like a criminals having a mug shot taken. The $15 a month are not worth it for the hustle a humiliation. Please hire staff with basic common sense and knowledge. They think their work is a joke. read more

Traveling and I use PF across 20 states and this facility has nasty bathrooms and the shower walls are NOT cleaned properly. EXCEPT COLD WATER IN THE SHOWER, I'm from the south that's crazy btw. And the massage beads do not have PROPER PRESSURE. Your Black card is a waste at this facility read more

Went to cancel today since im moving. As a black card member, i have to pay an early cancellation fee of 58 dollars plus tax. Was never told this when signing up. No mention of 12 month commitment. Was told it was month to month. If i want to downgrade to regular its 30 dollars. How does this make any sense? No customer service mindset whatsoever. Dont get the black card. No worth it. Chair massage sucks and so does the water jet massage. read more

I was charged $41.58 for each person plus $10.66 when I had already cancelled. There was no partial charges and Michelle the manager was not willing to work with me. The contract was highlighted and simply responded nothing is refundable, even though I haven't stepped foot in months at this gym. In addition during the summer months there's not enough cooling making it difficult to exercise. The weight equipment are constantly taken. The parking is full of garbage and empty bottles of wine. I should've looked at the reviews before I even signed up for this. They just took $150 for three people without working with me as a customer at all. read more

Don't get me wrong, I love PF for their prices and what they offer. Especially now during COVID time, I wish their protective measures were a bit better. They still have the spray bottles out there to wipe down machines which has the capability to carry germs and possibly infect people even if someone was asymptomatic. You can't use the blue medical face-masks. They need to be fabric ones (not sure about the validity of it -- was just something I heard) No matter what, PF still is a great gym and has great equipment - just dont drop those weights, or you're gonna hear the lunk alarm! read more

Garbage location. I canceled my entire membership mainly due to this location and it's "management ". If I could post 0 stars I would. It's always crowded and dirty. I inquired about canceling my membership and the manager was terrible. I told her she was being rude when she began mocking me. I had to walk away and she ran out after me yelling that I couldn't cancel from there anyway since it wasn't my home location. I made the point to drive to the original location in Hackensack (which is always clean, spacious, and the staff are helpful and lovely) just to cancel specifically because of this unprofessional manager. Disgusted by this location and the manager (Michelle) read more

Came from Texas here for visit in Jersey and went to this place I forgot my scanning card and my ID and told the lady that I will get my id but she seem to have nasty attitude I proved them infos threw my planet account and names and photo everything she still deny and wants me to show id! Then I proceed to work out then all I know I was escorted by the cops outside ! This place need new worker not enemy workers this why I chose to go to another planet around here cause rude workers who make planet reputation bad. read more

I've been going to this gym for 2 months now and pretty satisfied with it. I usually go in around 9/10am and the gym has maybe 20people? I might be wrong on the exact number but I've never had to wait for any machine/weights. There are TONS of treadmills, ellipticals, and bikes. They have 4 stair masters. This gym is mostly focused on cardio. If you compete or power lift, this gym might not be for you.... The showers and the bathrooms are ALWAYS clean and organized. They don't supply towels but .... hey for $10/20 a month, I can throw in a towel in my gym bag. Most importantly, I find the staff pretty friendly. Since day one, they are nothing but welcoming. The only reason they are getting 4 stars and not 5 is that they had classes for awhile but they stopped. I hope they bring them back soon! read more

Don't go to that particular fairview NJ PF location . The manager who I've spoken with was so rude. They tried to charge me extra money which is called " Late Fee" . When I called them , they sounded like they couldn't do anything about it and threatened me to send the bill to collection if I don't pay Lol :D . This is how bad they desperate about money from the customers' pocket. Be aware and stay away from that place. read more

It's very crowded here in the usual times of 5-8pm. I think they do what they can to keep it clean. The weights are usually pretty organized, but it can be hard to get to certain machines. It's pretty obvious this size location was never intended for this many people. I'll keep coming back, I can't fault them for the busy-ness. read more

Terrible customer service. Young unprofessional antagonizing people work at the front desk, but what's worse besides the fat girl with the mustache glasses and curly hair that claims to be the manager is the owner that called me to tell me that I was an asshole because I did not want to be addressed by his staff over and over again every time I was in the gym. I'm glad that is done because I was never a fan of them dusting machines off over peoples heads, or the fact that manager was insecure enough to tell my friend she wasn't dressed appropriately when she was, or the fact that they canceled my friend and threatened his membership first the same way they did me, super unprofessional, the owner needs to grow up before his staff and stop running the place so ghetto before the town turns on him and starts complaining more. read more

I have been to this location a few times. Ever since North Bergen location closed I was forced to come here. For some reason my membership Shown cancelled even when my bill was just taken out of my account. I explained to the big guy at the front that to check me manually because that can't be right. Instead of being at all helpful he neglected to Look Me up on the system And instead was a TOTAL ASSHOLE AND PRICK. The older man was much more helpful and looked me up and found that I was an active member. Still I was so turned off by the fat guys immaturity with him laughing and thinking the situation was a joke when his customer service was a JOKE! PLanet fitness needs to train their employees how to treat customers i for sure will never go back to this location. I'll take the longer drive if I have to read more

The first thought that comes to mind; this place is like a jungle. A fukn jungle of mixed misty humid sweat.

Today I went to cancel my membership in Planet Fitness in 251 Broad Ave, Fairview NJ, and I want to share my experience with the public about the club manager Michelle. Facts and rationale: 1- She has told me that it is not necessary for me to look for her to make a cancellation, when I wanted to clarify that I did not have to pay the annual fee because I wanted to cancel my membership in the club, when I asked to speak to someone else for the way she had spoken to me she answered that she is the boss, already the situation was beginning to get tense. 2- I scan my club membership card, she prepares the cancellation contract and asks me to sign the cancellation, I sign with my signature for personal safety, which she is not convinced and asks me to show her my ID (despite If I scanned and she saw my photo on her computer, she forced me to show her my ID to verify the signature because she was not convinced. When I show her my ID, she tells me that I must make the same signature of my ID. Or that she cannot cancel the membership, after a heated discussion, I finally convince her that it is the rubric that I use for non-governmental documents. 3- I tell her that I am in a hurry and that I wanted to complete the cancellation, she takes out the thermometer and takes my temperature and takes out a notebook, and begins to read me questions about whether I had had symptoms of the coronavirus, I explain that I don't intend to use the facilities that I just want to cancel my membership and she replied that if I did not threaten that the situation would be more complicated. 4- She tells me that the cancellation had been sent to my email. Which I checked my email and nothing had reached me and I asked her please if he could print me a copy of the cancellation, which he has totally refused to do so. Allegations 1) If she is the manager or the boss as she claims to be, she is supposed to give solutions and not make us feel helpless with her constant gestures that she does not care what you are exposing. because you have to do what she says with her authoritarianism and arrogant and that is the only way out you have or she does not give you another solution. 2) Asking me for my ID was not necessary. She had my photo on her computer and my data and the signature was the same with which she had signed the contract to be a member of the club. 3) Checking the temperature and answering questions about whether I have had symptoms should be done before entering the building or if you are going to use the gym facilities. This attitude has been Totally ridiculous on her part for her stubbornness that things have to be as she says. 4) With regard to the receipt of the cancellation being printed. She has not done it because she did not feel like it, there were printers there and documents had been printed for a previous client. A person has a legal right to receive copies of anything signed in their name, whether she sent it by email or not, since this was verifiably unreceived, it is her responsibility to provide a paper copy. Conclusion: Never, Ever, Ever again, I will be a member of Planet Fitness again, and I will never recommend it to anyone, and I certainly relay this experience and my strong opinion against anyone ever doing business there. You should never speak down to anyone, much less a customer. It takes years to get and retain one and a minutes to lose twice that forever. I was a member of the club and I was paying part of their payroll with my membership fee, which by the way I have only used once in the whole year and I have met the payment month after month. Goodbye Planet fitness forever and good luck to that Broad Ave, Fairview NJ with such a disrespectful and unappreciative manager read more

Unfortunately have been at this gym for 3+ years because it is very close to me, I think it's time to retire. This location has 4 stairmaster machines.. about 10/12 months through the year 1-2 machines will be working tops so good luck if you enjoy that form of cardio. If you enjoy drinking some free cold water don't think you're getting that here cause the fountain will be broken and when it does work it's warm and you basically have to make out with the mouth piece. Next if you like paper towels and machines working good luck with that as well as half will usually not be working. On to staff you'll see a very sweet old man and a very annoying one who will bother you for absolutely everything. Do NOT sign up here you will highly regret it read more

In response to the reply my review received from "management:" If there is one thing you guys have it's certainly your ability to reply to all of the reviews you receive in a flash, kudos for that! The problem is that your courteous replies do absolutely nothing to resolve any of the issues usually addressed. You mention how you can understand me wanting the convenience of a 24/7 gym when in reality I want the convenience I signed up for and you sold to me , one followed by all the PF gyms owned by corporate. I am not asking for a favor. Since that is clearly imposible to attain since you clearly have been getting away with it, the least you can do is close later than 10pm, midnight seems reasonable. Lastly, asking everyone who leaves a review with a concern here to contact the manager is not only comical but an insult to our intelligence. If we are taking the time to write these reviews on yelp it is OBVIOUSLY because speaking to the manager leads nowhere other than her refusing to even speak to you unless you provide her with your membership information just so you can be targeted after. Not to mention that you have countless complaints about how she treats your customers and from what I hear it's not much better than how she also treats your staff, yet you have kept her there without any regard. Furthermore, you lost the only employee you had there that actually cared about the maintenance of the place (older gentleman, I believe his name was Marshal) now when it's not that the disinfecting spray bottles are empty, it's the crappy paper towels dispensers that are empty, minor issues that can be easily corrected with a competent supervisor. Feel free to spare me from a reply asking that I contact the manager again, I've already detailed my concerns, either address them directly or don't bother! read more

Love the fact this gym is 24/7 for $10. (It's actually $10.66 because I think tax?) Only downside is if you go around 8/9 pm on a weekday it's PACKED. You'll find treadmills and ellipticals but other machines can be pretty booked. But it's pretty clean and the employees are super nice! I've been there a couple times in the morning too and it's a lot emptier. For its price though I'd say it's a pretty great deal. read more

If your website offers a class, you would think it's available. Not have me wait around 20 minutes to tell me you have no idea what I'm talking about ONCE I GET UP TO ASK YOU WHAT'S GOING ON. What a joke. I will be cancelling. Do not enroll here. read more

I'm giving this PF it's well-deserved 5 's, WHY? Because this place is always clean, it doesn't smell like your sweaty armpits, machines are always working and it never gets ridiculously crowded unless you go during rush hour and you can't avoid the situation but still, 5 's. FOR ALL THE PEOPLE HERE saying that there is not enough parking space, ehhhh have you notice the rest of the parking lot?! I mean, how lazy do you have to be no to walk a distance of a block from your car to the gym's door? I've never had a problem with the staff, if anything they go above and beyond, especially when they smile and wish you a good workout even when some Of you act like snobby brats who pretend to be treated like royalty when being rude to the poor employee who has to give you the benefit of the doubt. read more

Moved to another state and you have to call the main gym. Discrepancy with payment and the manager was screaming at the poor employee over the phone while relaying the message to me. Cant cancel unless it's a certified letter the manager should've gotten on the phone instead and there's no need for animosity. There's a reason why I left the NYC metro area. Nothing but a bunch of attitude problems and no customer service. read more

Since they temporarily closed a nearby planet fitness...this place is too over crowded...not worth the $10/month. During this temporary closure they should be reducing everyone's membership fee in half. So I would recommend everyone who's thinking if joining... don't. If by mid August they have not opened the other gym...I will need to find a different gym. read more

I've been going to this gym for over a year with no problem until i went today and michelle the manager was highly unprofessional. She think she can speak to people however she wants with no consequences. She is highly disrespectful and miserable and can tell she hates her job. She clearly takes advantage of her little manager position and tried it with me. I kept composure for a few minutes until she pushed me. Even her employee gave me her name and he stood shut during the whole situation because he know his manager is rude. Disgusting how planet fitness hires rude and disrespectful employees like her Who thinks she can talk to individuals like they are animals and expect them to stay shut because they attend the gym and dont want to get band so they have no choice but to be nice to disrespectful employees. She definitely tried it with the right person and i hope she learned her lesson on not treating people how she wants. She yelled, stuck out the middle finger and everything. I dont regret standing up for myself but i hope this humbled her and the owner of this planet fitness takes action and see how disrespectful this employee is. Ps. This manager has had complaints on both yelp and google for the past 2 years. It is disgusting how she still has her position read more

Worst experience at pf in Fairview with a Light skin, wavy hair, short with glasses female acts like a moody disrespectful teenager. She has a tag with manager title which I can't understand how? Her tag says Michelle. She was so ignorant didn't let me speak, to the point I had to run out before I do something I regret! Really crazy character. Will not be going to this gym again. All other pf gyms are excellent so no need to cancel for one bad manager! read more

Fairview PF by far outranks Bayonne, Belleville, and Jersey City locs in facility cleanliness, locker room and gym square footage and weight and cardio machine layout, and gym patron culture. read more

I just quit my monthly membership today because of an annoying encounter with a young woman with glasses and long dark hair who works in the counter. She refused to let me in because I did not have my tag which was never given to me. She insisted that it was given to me in the past cos that's what's showing in their system. I explained to her that the person who I spoke with last time told me that they ran out of tags and that I should just show my ID and a tag will be given to me. I joined online so I had to pick up the tag my first day at the gym. But no tag was available and no tag was given to me. Yet in their system, it shows that a tag with a number was printed for me. But, I never received it. What I did not like about this situation is not the confusion about the tags. This problem happens in any kind of computerized system. What I did not like is the way the person who was working in the counter spoke to me - her bad choice of words, her body language and her tone. She was too rude and disrespectful. And it is my principle, to not support businesses where I am disrespected. So I spoke to the manager who let me in and he gave me a tag. But I decided right there that I was just gonna cancel my membership. The gym is clean and cheap. But there are other choices in this area of NJ. I just can't let the rudeness pass. It is unacceptable. So, a big NO. read more

Absolutely disgusting attitude from the manager Michelle. It was my first time ever at a gym. I have 8 years of customer service, she was literally acting like a bouncer lol. Instead of trying to explain to my friend and I the rules she was doing it in such a hostile attitude as if we were going trying to sneak in or something. Hey Michelle instead of saying we need an N-95 mask and saying we can't use the gym unless we have that. After we told you it's our first time there? She still kept saying we couldn't use it. How convenient would it be to say hey but we sell them here! Have you ever worked at a retail store don't you work of commission? Your coworker the man at the front was so kind he even told us you had masks!!! Why are you mad? You work at gym work it out girl? Then we were next up in line and she literally walked away to help someone else and left her counter open? So the man attended us and he asked me if I had my ID I said only an expired one that my boyfriend carries because he likes that picture. He said that's fine as long as there's something with my age. Then 10 minutes later after purchasing the mask, they're 4 dollars btw. We were all set and she comes and says to the front desk guy that Id is expired which we all already know and she was like no and lecturing the guy and saying that she's the manager.... okay bully you were picking on us since we got there. Learn how to be a manager Michelle, it will definitely bring this gyms rating to 5 stars! It's crazy how many people mention you it's not good look hope it doesn't come back around to you :). read more

Very clean and friendly environment! But no Ricky's aloud!!! ( clunks ) lmao haha worth every penny! Edit: so sadden that this gym is cutting corners to cut hours on employees! I mean? How can 2/3 ppl handle all these members? Its getting to the point where the gym is breaking apart, too many members to handle for these employees!!! Thinking about changing gym due to this cutting corner issues!!! Word is getting around fast and ppl notice also!!! If this keeps up!!! Ppl will change gym! It's that simple!!! More workers needed at this location!!! Please fix this issue or this place will lose a lot of members!!! read more

lets say they close at 8pm right? at 8:03pm am literally getting told if i dont leave that they will call the cops on me?? what!??? i mention that i just had 2-4 min left and staff was grilling me as if i was a hoodlum asking for money. i dont know planet fitness i have worked in customer service all my life and when someone says they close at 10 or whatever there is always a grace period to finish up, gather up yourself and leave!! talk to your staff people! this is not good customer service am no an inmate!! i am a CUSTOMER! read more

I haven't been to a new pfits in so long it was making me sad. This one in Fairview is pretty solid. Nice large area.

So far I am a fan of PF in Fairview NJ. I live in Fort lee NJ so it's only 5mins from me. It is TRULY your basis gym, so don't come expecting bells and whistles unless you activate the "LUNK ALARM". The gym is always clean, the front desk staff is pleasant. It is a shame they don't offer some classes or perhaps offer a ladies night for just women. They also need to be quicker about fixing equipment when it breaks. Other than those minor issues it's not bad for your buck...... read more

I am not one to write a review after every situation but tonight's was out of hand! After being a member since they first opened, I will never return after the way my family and I were treated tonight. Michelle is one of the front desk girls and clearly does not know how to speak to people. After an overnight change in the contract (supposedly), Michelle proceeded to deny access to my younger cousin even though she too has been a member for a couple months. I am an adult who has responsibility over them yet Michelle kept threatening to call the police on us as she kept raising her voice. For being a new establishment, they need to think about how they treat their loyal customers. read more

This is my go to location I actually live closer to the location in north Bergen but the equipment and overall experience is much better here, it's also less crowded and the employees are always very nice and I always see them cleaning etc. Not a bad gym for $20 a month read more

Walked in, girl talked like she was chewing her face so I walked out. Poorly staffed, rude, no black perks and not worth the trip. The Hudson county plant fitness clubs all seem to think we are located in Nogales or Tijuana. Terrible staff, people talk on cell phones at all locations loudly and staff barely speaks English in most locations in nj read more

I went to planet fitness in fairview today to sign up membership with my mom and husband. All staffs working at the place were very very disrespectful and rude. We decided not to go this place because of the staffs. Goodbye owner of planet fitness, you lost three members today and you will lost more because of your great employees. read more

This is a horrible place to be in and work at. The atmosphere is toxic followed by inconsiderate management. Extremely hypocritical and controversial. They are always against you and everything is said to degrade your self worth and make you feel like an idiot. The equipment is not as they make it seem. Horrible customer service with most of the staff, excluding trainers. Instead of Starbucks taking a day off to retrain their employees in respect, Planet Fitness should. Rely to comment: you're all such children... start to wonder you have one star... smh read more

I transferred to this location yesterday and made an appointment to meet with the Personal trainer at 9:30. I left my house quite early to allow for traffic so I was there early. At 9:32 I was told that he's on brake but on his way back. When he got there, he walked past me to put his stuff away and then came over. Here's the problem: he never even acknowledged running late and when I brought it up he just rudely said," I was on break." He didn't apologize until he was forced to by his manager, Michele (she was very nice btw). I really didn't like his attitude and didn't want to have to tolerate him for an hour so I left and called the "owner", Greg. Greg didn't care either. He was so hung up on defending the 6 minutes his employee was late, he wasn't even listening. My point was not only was he late, he also had an attitude. I told Greg that if I have an appointment with someone at work, to me that means I am present and available to that person at the agreed upon time and if for some reason I am not available, I am apologetic. It's more about professionalism than it is about the few minutes late. Greg disagreed. After speaking to Greg, I could certainly see why this trainer felt it was ok to treat a customer rudely. Maybe it's my age and I expect too much from this business. Anyway, I canceled my membership so I won't have to concern myself any longer. read more
