I like this place. Granted I just joined this past week, but I've enjoyed each day there. All the equipment I've used, all the rooms and tanning beds are all clean as a whistle. The staff is friendly and super helpful. "Carl" has been especially helpful as it seems he's always around when I've needed help or have a question. He's very pleasant, doesn't act like I'm bothering him. I appreciate that when joining a new place. The equipment suffices for my needs and the crowd meter is a good extra, works for me. The tanning beds are more powerful than alot of the tanning salons I've been in. I don't have anything to complain about. I recommend it. Other members seem to be fine with it also. read more

Pump was solid. Nice facility with amazing employees. Really enjoy the wide variety of machines and rivals other Planet Fitness facilities in the area. Although the is gym is slightly on the smaller side it still adequate for its purpose. Great gym read more

My home gym is Stow but I visited the Kent location the other day while in the area. It was smaller but clean. Just didn't seem to have a lot of variety in equipment and was mostly cardio. read more

Working out. Necessary for your health and your waistline. Sure, it isn't as fun as a cup of coffee and a pastry. Definitely not as relaxing as a movie cuddled on the couch. But, it is a must if you wanna rock that summer bod all year long....hahaha I just laughed at myself. What summer bod? I just don't want to have the hourglass figure where the sand has shifted! I was hesitant on become a PF member from the beginning. Simply put: cheap monthly dues must mean some unsavory folk coming to workout within arms reach of me. Wow, I couldn't have been more wrong let me tell you! Even more specifically at this location. PF Kent is a very nice facility. I will go out of my way to use this location....truth. This location is one of the larger ones I have been to. Lots and lots of machines to choose from and it really is never so busy that you feel like someone is sharing a workout with you. A treadmill built for 2? Not here. The locker rooms are HUGE and well kept. In fact, they keep this entire location very clean, tidy and I absolutely love the staff. Definitely would recommend a PF membership and even better, use this location! read more

Planet Fitness - Gyms Near Me - Kent, Ohio

See all

Clean, equipment in good working order, and lots of equipment. Recommend for a great place to workout and get out quick!

It's not open 24/7. Why not? There's a whole college campus to get employees from less than 2 miles away. This location should absolutely be open 24/7. Also way too many treadmills and ellipticals for how many people I've actually seen using them at a time and not enough cable machines. Need more chest press, leg press, leg extension, lat pulldowns, ect. read more

Definitely not happy with this location at all. Too many issues. Trying to remain professional here. I'll leave it that. I don't recommend this location at all. read more

For starters I've had the same account since 2018. I've used my membership in New Philadelphia, Ohio before moving my membership in January to Kent, Ohio. The second time I went to Planet Fitness they got an attitude with me because I didn't have an updated card. But when I transferred my membership they didn't give me one. The third time I went there it was okay. Not much choices, it was dirty. There was a girl in the locker room going through all the lockers, I'd assume a looter. Toilet Paper all of the floor like it was a prank or something. Fourth Time was okay. The worker was rude. Fifth? I was nice didn't have a problem. I had to leave for Florida and I was Gone for months. I didn't cancel my membership because I knew I would be back. They also kept withdrawing from my account each month even though I never went, but that's expected. I come back a few weeks ago and some lady who worked there said she wouldn't let me use the membership. I asked her why and she tried to say I owed $500 in collections to Planet Fitness because I haven't been paying. I kindly show her the bank statements, AND credit karma AND Wallet Hub that I owe NOTHING in collections. And that I paid for my membership and I should get to use the gym. And she said that's not how it works. So I believe that whoever this girl is was trying to do something illegal, or the business. But I won't step on another Planet Fitness again. Ever. Y'all weren't that great to begin with but hey, you get what you pay for read more

This place is garbage. Staff was super rude as they made everyone leave 20 minutes before closing time. Not enough equipment to get a good workout and half of the machines are out of order. I think I actually got less fit after walking in here. Got more of a workout in while I was walking from the car to the place than I did in there because of all the broken machines. I wouldn't even recommend this place to my worst enemy. Garbage staff and garbage gym. Would rate negative stars if possible. Will workout out at a McDonalds before I workout here. 0/10 don't give these fools your money. read more

I was a member at the Tallmadge location for almost 3 years before moving closer to this one! And while I have tried many others in the area, none of them have managed to beat this one out. I SO BADLY WANT TO GIVE IT 5 STARS, but the experience of not being able to fill up your water bottle in any other way than a water fountain (ew no thank you, germ pool), it's sadly only a 4 Star to me. Especially considering the Tallmadge location has that awesome bottle refill machine! I will gladly edit my review if that ever changes, but for now it has to stay. On to what would have made it 5 stars: the VAST amount of equipment to choose from. This is by far the largest location I've been to (or at least the layout makes it seem so), and they have such a great selection of machines to work on! My husband and I go together, so being able to pick a group of machines next to each other is super important to us, and this amount of space and inventory makes it possible! The changing rooms are clean, spacious, and give you all of the amenities you could hope for. The lobby is always clean and well taken care of, as well as the work out floor. They have TVs for you to watch, and an adapter to plug the aux for your phone in to listen if you would like to as well, which I think is a really nifty feature. MY FAVORITE PART OF PLANET FITNESS: the PHENOMENAL massage chairs. It takes a little getting used to, but I am addicted to the way I feel after I sit down for a session of those. Well worth the extra few dollars a month to be a Black Card member for the water bed massager, chair massager, and for the extra perks it gets you in general! read more

I tried to go in to planet fitness on 9/26 at 11pm when I got off work so I could get a black card membership for me and my girlfriend and I called a couple days back to see how much it would be and the girl on the phone at the same location said it would be about $26. So I go in and and ask to get a black card membership and they said it would be about $40 for this month and next month payment. It should have been this months payment and after 30 days the monthly payment would come out of my bank account. And so on. Oh and another thing they don't take cash because they don't have a cash register even tho you have to pay for a member ship and drinks there. And they are not 24/7 here either. Not a Karen just a person that wants to see better from a shitty gym. read more

PF Kent is my "home" gym. When I first signed up, I went in to pick up my key card and get a tour. I had never had a gym membership and was very anxious about going in, but felt more comfortable knowing it was a "Judgement Free Zone". After arriving for the first time, I went to the desk and told them I signed up online and wasn't familiar with the gym or where anything was. The girls at the desk were not at all friendly or willing to give me a tour or tell me anything at all. Handed me my key card and went back to their conversation. Instead of staying, I left even more anxious than I already was. I tried to not let it get in the way, but I was so uncomfortable there. I went to the Stow PF the next day and the staff was INCREDIBLE! Offered a tour, paper schedules and details on my membership. Long story short, the Stow location is further from me and I don't always feel like driving there, so I decided to give the Kent location another shot. Went well a couple of times, until one day I went in and the staff at the desk couldn't take their eyes off of the phone the 3 of them were staring at. Stood there for a good 3 minutes and one of the girls sighed and came over to finally sign me in for tanning. She only asked standing or laying and then disappeared, I figured to clean the stall. Waited another 5 or so minutes and the guy at the desk came over and asked the usual name, what type of bed and how long.. Went over to the computer and then I waited several minutes again. He finally came over and dropped the door tag on the desk and walked away without a word. Never saw the girl the rest of the time I was there and again haven't been to that location again yet. A friendly staff can make huge difference, especially for those members who have anxiety. read more

The staff is always cleaning and has never missed a "Hi there" or "good morning" to me as I come in. I feel very comfortable here and definitely recommend. read more

Don't even get me started. I do not give really bad reviews unless something went terribly wrong. This gym is abhorrent for upkeep, cleanliness, and safety. My fiance and I stopped going after we both were disgusted at how filthy the bathrooms were. Then I went to take a shower and sliced my arm wide open on a damaged metal stall. I had blood everywhere. I went to the desk for help to get bandages and alert them and I was mortified at their response. I got two bandaids. They didn't put a sign up or fix it. When I came back the damage was still there. I still have a scar where I had to apply steri strips. I could have made a huge stink and sued the place. My arm was in pain for a week. I was fortunate that I had a tetanus shot within the last 10 years. I am a nurse and I could have created a problem for them. Go to Streetsboro or any other PF. This one is just not right. read more

This gym has a lot of positives and a few drawbacks. I'm giving it five stars because every gym can't accommodate every person and this gym does a great job. Pros 1 gym is very nice and clean. 2 The staff are very good, always kind. 3 Bathroom shower area has private changing rooms 4 Tanning and message machines included with black membership (great deal if you're into that) 5 I truly believe they have a lot of different types of people who workout here (I even saw an older women with an oxygen tank the other day) 6 Lots of cardio machines 7 good variety of lifting machines Cons (Only 1) not a serious weight lifting gym. There aren't any free weight machines like flat bench, incline bench, squat rack ect... Their are three racks that are cable assisted which can be used for some of these exercises. However most serious lifters wouldn't want to... Plus there is insufficient weights for strong lifters. Honestly I have belonged to lifting gyms and they generally desire an atmosphere where they can yell a bit... Which isn't what planet fitness is about, so as to accommodate the majority of people who just want to burn some calories and be healthier. read more

This place is one of the worst in the Planet Fitness system. I've travelled the country and this one has the worst choice of weights, no stretching cages, only one clock on the wall which is situated for the employee's to see, not the members. Not sure what the problem is, but there should be free weights heavier than 60 lbs, and there should be barbells like EVERY OTHER planet fitness. This is the only PF that charges tax for water. How cheap is that. If the owner can't afford the franchise, then get out of the business. Obviously the owner doesn't know much about lifting weights, but s/he could ask around, it's not hard to figure out what the customers want/need. On a positive note, there is a separate changing room for each shower. That is nice for those who want privacy. I want to make this place my regular PF gym, but I can't bring myself to giving this owner my monthly fee. I'd rather drive to Stow and workout than support this weak owner. read more

I have been a black card member and Kent ohio is my home spot to get everything I need for a great workout experience. The good folks that work at the Kent location are top notch and very professional. In going here the past 14 months I have become the most fit I've ever been. The attention to detail by the staff is impressive. Nicole, Jaylin and Shamya in particular are on the ball and always uplifting. I look forward to going every time. Hop to see ya there. read more

Always very clean and well kept. My only warning is do NOT use their tanning beds unless you want to actually cook yourself in less than 5 minutes. I already have a nice base tan and wanted to keep my color, so I decided to use the bed rather than the stand up for the first time. TERRIBLE idea. The beds get so hot it's almost unsafe. Still treating my sunburn over a week later. read more

I came here as a guest and thought about getting a package with planet fitness. Decided not to because they don't even have wifi. Very disappointing because I rely on Pandora for workout music. Weird a place like this doesn't have wifi... read more

Beware! I want to be able to say positive things about this gym, the things it stands for aligned with my needs and I never had any issues working out there. However now I have to issue a very serious warning to anyone considering signing up here because this is now a company that is trying to rip me and my partner off. Several months ago when I moved in with my partner I transferred my account's banking from being connected to a roommate's bank account (this was done for convenience at the time) to my partner's instead. Many months pass without incident, payments are made by him and we attend the gym normally. One day I get a text message notification about owed payment, but I assume this has to do with us taking a day or two to get money for bills deposited so I pay no mind. Within a month when we deposit money in the account, planet fitness takes $400 out of his account with no notice or legitimate warning because of some invisible fees that they claim exist from before I transferred to his account that bounced back and forth and accrued a bunch of asinine extra fees. This is a bill greater than the entirety of our membership there, their reasoning makes no sense because we were still paying normally and we transferred this account via their staff in person, and the only bad excuse for notification they provided us was a lukewarm text message that wasn't even to the person whose bank account was associated with the membership. So the only thug I can conclude is they neglected this on purpose to abuse their contract and attempt to rip us off. As a gym they may be passable for some... But after my experience I say be extremely wary of this location. We are still battling this now with no sympathy from a very corporate greed mentality on both the franchise and higher up people we've contacted. This is a contract I fear for anyone signing on too! read more
