Not the Experience You'd Expect From a "Judgment-Free Zone" I spent a lot of time at this Planet Fitness location in Manassas, and it's honestly not what you'd expect from a place that promotes being welcoming and judgment-free. There's constant turnover in management -- and the most recent changes have only made things worse. The current manager creates a really tense and uncomfortable atmosphere. He's passive-aggressive and not easy to communicate with, which seems to affect both staff morale and the energy in the building overall. There are also ongoing issues that members constantly complain about -- from broken equipment to cleanliness concerns -- and nothing ever seems to get fixed. It's frustrating to see the same problems brought up again and again with no real action. Things are often just brushed under the rug until the next manager rolls in... and the cycle repeats. If you're looking for a gym where the environment feels positive, consistent, and well-managed, I would recommend checking out other locations or different fitness centers altogether. read more

I'm very appreciative of my experience at the Planet Fitness. I am always welcomed by name, and sent off with kind words when I leave. I'm usually in and out without having to wait for equipment, and even when I do, the wait is short. The overall atmosphere is friendly-- as everyone relatively shares the same goals, and are consistently respectful. While I don't remember everyone's names, the two Tristans I often encounter always go above and beyond to help me, answer my inquiries, and they always leave me with a smile on my face. I frequent a couple other PFs throughout the year, but I'm happy to say this one, I can call home. read more

The afternoon staff are loud and inappropriate... not the guy who works overnight he is awesome and always so helpful ... but the big tall guy and skinny dude with big hair that leave around 10-11pm probably I get it's a gym but they are talking about having 3somes and cursing and yelling Allah akbar for some weird reason What's the point of the lunk alarm when we have them to deal with it's just a little much and I wish they would chill out a lil... read more

Apparently the Judgment free zone at this location has no judgment against their employees dropping f-bombs right and left. And not quietly. And using them to word females. However they did find judgment against me for saying that the staff was lucky the girl's father wasn't present or he would probably kick their butt. Apparently that was judged as being aggressive and they don't tolerate aggressive behavior. Seriously! I am now banned from this location for life!?! read more

Half of the equipment is either broken or halfway to broken. On top of that, I was doing dumbbell bench presses (on a broken bench, mind you, since it was the only one open), and i had my jacket on the bench behind me to support my head & back with some cushion. The guy who works here came up and interrupted my set to say "hey we have a policy where jackets and bags cannot be on the equipment or the floor, would you mind either putting it on or in a locker?". Has it EVER been that serious? Is it bothering anyone? It was no where near any of the other patrons nor was it on the floor; and the equipment is broken anyway so its not like its gonna make it worse. I'm only in town visiting for the week but I'm literally going to drive an extra 10 minutes to another planet fitness just so I don't have to come back to this one, despite the proximity. If I could give it 0 stars I would. read more

The Planet Fitness gym in Fairfax, VA, is a nice space with long open hours, and a good range of equipment, most of which is in working order. HOWEVER, some problems make it very unpleasant: (1) many customers sit idly on gym equipment playing with their cell phones, preventing others from doing their workouts; (2) many such chronic cell-phone problem customers become belligerent when asked to relinquish the equipment and refuse to yield; (3) these same problem customers and others tie-up single pieces of equipment in the "30-minute express" area for long periods of time (e.g. 10-30 minutes). (4) the gym invites teenagers 14-19 years old to use the gym for free during Summer months, which floods the gym with large numbers of teens who tend to have no idea how to use the equipment, who use the gym to "hang out" with groups of friends, who are among the offenders who use the equipment as places to sit and play with their cell phones, and who have primitive social skills, making the gym an unpleasant and congested place to spend time. (5) Many of these problems could be solved by posting large visible signs throughout the gym instructing users not to use cell phones while sitting on equipment and not tying up equipment when other users need to use it, and by expelling repeat offenders. (6) The staff members are mostly hard working and very kind and helpful but they cannot be expected to police all of the misbehaving users in the gym. Much could be accomplished by clearly informing new users of the rules and the penalties for failure to comply, and by posting large visible easily read signs throughout the gym. read more

Dirty gym. Cockroaches roaming floor and bathroom. Old equipment. Like they haven't updated their cardio machines since opening the damn gym. The only thing I like about this location would be the way the gym is set up. read more

Planet Fitness - Huge cockroaches at this location. - Gyms Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

I'm visiting from Seattle and wanted to go to the gym with my sister for a quick workout. She mentioned she has a "black card" membership at Planet fitness that allows her guest passes. She said she was already inside and sent me the pass so I can meet her as she was warming up. I get to this location, use her guest pass and the guy in the front with dark hair and a weird earring stopped me and asked where my sister was. I told him she's already inside and he forced me to call her. After talking to my sister I found out she was at the centerville location and I was at the sudley location. I asked the guy with the weird earring if I could start my workout while I waited for my sister to drive to this location and he tells me no and to wait in the front. The guy with the glasses asked what's going on and proceeded to agree with weird earring. Terrible customer service, rude and very unwelcoming. I then called my sister to tell her I don't feel comfortable at that gym and by the looks of it, is kinda dirty. I CANNOT believe a gym treats their customers like this...After this experience, I've decided to purchase my sister an annual membership at LA Fitness in hopes she never gets treated like this. She deserves better, we both do. And I will never step foot into a planet fitness ever again. read more

I been going to this gym for almost 10-11 years and seen the decline of this place. Please avoid this gym at all cost. The owner is so cheap to fix specific things that need attention and takes half a year to fix. There are so many creeps at the gym that make all the younger woman uncomfortable, and people just socialize and never workout. Where do I start. 1. Gym equipment's are always a problem because they're always broken. Takes them forever to fix a machine. I once had to break a piece off cause a member could've cut themselves. But safety is our top priority. What a joke. the lease is probably up since they did the remodel long before covid, yet machines have not been switched. Let's just keep broken/old machines tho. 2. They say they're clean all the time; The bathrooms say otherwise. Try to get all that black mold off the corners or whatever gunk is on the ground, do y'all think people want to take showers without putting something on their feet? Maybe actually remodel the bathrooms like the new planet fitness's that have an actual catcher right outside of the shows instead of it dripping down in to the sewer cap and almost slipping causing an injury. 3. Oh yeah, the showers, often broken. Takes them forever to fix when they are broken. Once there was only one shower working. Shower heads always leaks. Toilets are disgusting sometimes I would not recommend using them if you don't want to get an infection 4. Changing rooms are always full of stuff, sometimes people even shave there. Like that's gross. 5. Its summer right now. Heat goes up to 100 degrees sometimes. AC is broken. WELCOME TO THE RAINFORST EVERYONE. Cause ladies and gentleman the AC is broken. Then some areas are good. Then it breaks again. Sometimes for weeks. 6. People Love to claim their machines as their own and be on their phones and not leave the machine, socialize with their friends then get mad when you come over to the machine when they have not been next to it. I once timed my phone and yesterday 7/15/24 two ladies were on the bench machine rotating from the bench and the leg machine next to it. One hour and 20 mins. ONE HOUR and 20 mins?!?! Really? What are signs going to do after members complain every single day. 7. Paper towel dispensers don't get stocked regularly. Its really annoying especially in peak hours. Often have to go to other stations to get a paper towel. 8. Members are bullies to other members. This gym has a lot Latino's and Latina's. No offense but the men are always bullying other members and staring at woman drooling over a piece ass they've never seen before. It's pretty bad all the situations I've seen. No proper mannerism. I often have to butt in cause some people feel so uncomfortable to be around the gym working out giving them my RBF because of all the staring. 9. Doesn't seem like they know how to run the place very well. Often understaffed, overworked and everyone is unhappy working there. Someone needs to have a huge meeting over management on work life/balance. Give them a proper raise due to inflation? Make the employee's feel appreciated? Management probably doesn't care like every other corporation. 10. No one wants a virtual online trainer. Bring back an actual trainer so people do not feel insecure to be at this gym. There are a lot of people that are trying to better themselves but cannot because people will make fun of them. Staff is friendly at least I'll give them that. :) I come to work out and work on my craft and enjoy my time there, not to socialize while working out in groups. This gym is what everyone makes fun of. They should just bring back the pizza and bagels. Oh wait, that ended. That's probably not in their budget anymore. They preach on a judgement free zone. It is not a judgement free zone. Guests are rude to other guests. And they (corporate) act like everything is fine at the gym when its not. read more

Great atmosphere Nobody here after 11pm Staff is always friendly Good spot in Manasshole . read more

This is how they clean the toilets at the Sudley Rd, Manassas, VA? I wanted to use the toilet and I saw an employee cleaning both of them so I waited outside of the bathrooms. I came back to use one of them but it was disgusting. I am not sure if all the locations are like that or if it's just the overnight team because I go to the Gym 3 to 4 days a week before work at 5:30AM and most of the cleaning stations have not paper or disinfectant. read more

Although the gym is clean and decent. The atmosphere is terrible. The staff is always having a power trip, especially the fat tall white guy and the skinny dude with the crazy hair. Every time I there I can feel the hostility from them. They do not speak to their coustomers with respect, in particular coustomers who do not speak good english. Also the manger is disrespectful. read more

It's a small gym, I prefer the Fairfax location better. But this is so convenient due to the distance. It's clean, staff is friendly. I wish it was 24h but I get it. Due to the pandemic the hours have stayed the same. read more

Planet Fitness - Gyms Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

This will always be my favorite PF! Not because it's the cleanest, the best location, or has the nicest equipment. It's truly the staff. Jennifer and her staff are the coolest group of men and young ladies that this location could have hired. I spent months in this gym daily, sometimes twice a day and they know you by name when you walk into this gym. Yeah it's kinda like cheers the old 80s sitcom. Throughout the time I worked out in this PF they upgraded a lot of their cardio equipment and televisions. It's not the newest location but they honestly try to keep it running like a well oiled machine. read more

Seriously every 10 minutes their "link alarm" goes off annoying everyone. Which leaves everyone looking at each other. By the 3rd in 30 minutes I'm watching people staring at the alarm and taking pictures of it. I workout at planet fitnesses all over the country and never seen such absurd use of this gimmicky nonsense. read more

They let off the lunk alarm three times in a row for no reason. No one was even slamming weights. Looked over and the workers were giggling. Lol. It was funny the first time but then it got annoying. read more

I went to manassas club last week. I was really upset about one of the front desk guy treated me want to get out of the club. I tried to forget about this because it is just happening, but I can't and I don't wanna go to the manassas club. This is what happened: I remember that manassas acept the other clubs' classic member before and I went to work out there sometimes, but last week in the morning, after I checked my ID card and using the cabinet, the front desk guy just stand at the front desk and yell at me "Hey! come here!" and told me that " You have to change your card to black card or pay $5 to use the club", he dosen't even mention that I can change the club. I felt he is saying 'If you don't have money, then get out of here.' Even if he dosen't saying like that, but his response is very rude. Thank you for the reply. I understand you guys never want to members feel uncomfortable, but you know, it just happened last week. It sounds like "Too bad.. we didn't mean it. So we are not responsible whatever you upset for." Well Thank you for this disrespectful reply. And your 'customer service' must explain why I have to pay $5 or change to black card. Not just saying pay it or get out. One more thing, you guys must teach well 'customer service' before the serving customers that members' have option to chage the location. So you guys can prevent they just saying change the card or pay $5 to your customers. read more

Planning on canceling my black card membership. I came with my 13 year old sister as my guest, with our masks. Usually when my white mother brings her for her workouts, they say it's fine and nothing is scanned or checked, but When I come in, The age limit is 14 and I'm was demanded to show guardian documentation to enter. The manor that "Alexandra?"just felt real cold, and I felt discriminated, but whatever, I'm used to this. I want nothing to do with the chain after this, and my family is thinking the same. read more

A very clean and comfortable atmosphere! Trainers are keen to help, and no one gawks at you if you are well endowed running on the treadmill. Truly a "Judgement-Free" facility. I love this gym! read more

Joining here was a smooth experience over all. I don't have a lot of experience joining gym's so this was a first. Eric was friendly & professional and explained all my options. This place is a good deal, it's 24 X 7 with shower facilities. The equipment seems adequate and they have plenty of staff. read more

We have been coming to this location for about a year after moving to the area and it is one of the best of planet fitness I've been to. It always has the perfect amount of people where it's not empty but you won't be waiting in line for a machine forever. The managers are super nice and helpful. I just had an experience with front desk worker Porscha who had great customer service, which I recognize since I work in customer service myself. Overall great experience and staff is awesome! read more

Hmmm my home gym is the one in Burke. This one is not as updated. The locker room is older but at least they have hot water. The one in Burke has no hot water. The smaller lockers don't have those cool combo locks on them like in Burke. I really love that feature so you can just toss your wallet and keys in there without having to carry a lock in or go in to the locker room. It didn't seem like they had enough spray bottles here either. I didn't get a chance to check out the other black card features yet so perhaps I'll d an update. Didn't expect much. I mean it's Manassas after all. read more

Seemed busy, but not too crowded. Front desk staff not very helpful. All I wanted to do was transfer my membership status from out of state. They basically told me to go home and do it online... seemed very disinterested in helping me- although there were 6 people behind the counter. That being said- once I join, I generally don't need to deal with staff to go work out. So I gave 2 stars instead of one for clean and spot seemed popular enough. However, I will look at other gyms in the area before I renew anything here. read more

No, which means more money in your pocket. Not bad, huh? How much does a Classic Membership cost? Prices can vary. When first signing up, they were running a special.

So far I've had a good experience going to this Planet Fitness. Sometimes it is a bit crowded but luckily my schedule is flexible enough that I can typically go when it's less crazy. The staff has always been nice to me. The restrooms and equipment have been clean from what I have seen. Also, the people who go to this gym have been really great! They have even given me tips on how to use certain equipment. I would recommend this gym to a friend, especially if they have the chance to go when it's not overly crowded. I should mention, even when it is really crowded, there was always enough room on the cardio equipment. It's the weights and lifting machines that got packed. read more

The best staff and super clean, comfortable workout environment! Eric - the assistant manager here was fantastic today with giving me options to transfer my membership which was a little complicated because of my doing, after my move. Anytime I've gone in with questions about my account or billing they were always super knowledgeable about the systems, billing, options etc very approachable - I just really love my gym! read more

Precious has been going to this fitness center for a couple of months now. She likes it. She got an extremely good deal. They were having a special for only $10/month for a year. She goes on weekdays at about 10 a.m. or 11 a.m. At those times there are so few people that she can use any piece of equipment without any wait. The first week she hooked up with a personal trainer. The dude showed her all the equipment and how to use it and worked out a training routine for Precious. This was good because Precious had never been a member of a gym before so wasn't familiar with anything. I went there on Friday. It's a big place. They have dozens of different cardio machines and probably more than 50 stations that isolate the muscle groups. Arms, legs, torso, there is a machine that will work almost every major muscle in the body. They have several TVs in front of the cardio machines all tuned to different channels. The one directly in front of me was showing Wendy Williams. I have a thing for her so I was happy When it gets right down to it, this place has everything the average person needs to get a healthy work out. They have a men's locker room and a women's locker room. Bring your own lock. You can lock up your street clothes. Showers are available. They don't provide sweat towels. At first I found it off-putting, but think about it. Maybe some day UNICEF will get into the towel cleaning business, but until then you have to pay someone to do it. Ditching the towel service gives you a lower monthly fee. I went into the men's locker room just to check out the showers. There was an old man in there completely buck naked. In light of the whole Penn State Sandusky scandal going on I made like a bakery truck and hauled my buns out of there. Someone else can tell you how the showers are. This is a no grunting fitness center. They do have a free weight area, and some cool guys were over there lifting weights. There is a wall sized mirror right there, and some guys were lifting weights while looking at themselves in the mirror. I would have made some jokes about them, but the place also has a no criticism policy. You're not allowed to make fun of other people. Too bad because I could have thought up some funny things to say about those guys. I wondered how crowded the place gets after 5 p.m. From reading the other reviews it evidently gets quite crowded at that time so I'm not going to join. Maybe I'll go with Precious every now and then. WIth respect to the crowding, they keep records on the number of people who exercise every hour during the week. They have a chart, and you can select the times that are less crowded or, if you like girl-watching, you can come when there are more people. The people at the front desk were friendly. There was one girl with the cutest freckles. OMG Those freckles were cuter than Lindsay Lohan's. I can imagine young guys coming in there and lifting heavy weights and thinking that the girl with the cute freckles is impressed with them. Also, bring your iPod. They play popular music and they play it pretty loud. My ears have never heard a song by Justin Bieber or Lady GaGa, and I want to keep it that way so I brought my iPod and cranked up some blues to drown out the lame pop music. read more

Literally the 30minutes area is not being use at all!!! Like not even a fly is around and two other dudes use the same machine for 20 minutes the employee that was cleaning the equipment didn't say a word to them, they only used one machine! I was there for the same amount of time and dude came to me to tell me that I can't be using the same machine that I need to move out of there! Rude he could have told the other two guys the same thing I guest they were friends or something because I see people using the 30min. Workout area all the time and they don't follow the rules. This is BS!!!! read more

Lunk alarm my butt. Groaning is apart of a hard exercise. If it us alot of weight and it is hard i need to groan in good pain.

I was excited about joining this gym at first, and went about 4 times a week. Then my visits started to wane. It got EXTREMELY overcrowded, one night I went and 5 of the treadmills were broken. Their 30 minute workout area is a joke because people who can't use the regular machines due to long waits, will just sit on the 30 Minute area machines. Now I think they have a little fence blocking it, so it's only for the 30 Min people. Speaking of just sitting on the machines, I'd go to get some muscle definition and there would be guys (and gals) just sitting there, not doing any reps, and this is after me stalking a machine for a good 15 minutes. The staff behind the counter were not very helpful, many of them had no idea how to give any tips on fitness. And they have a huge pizza night every Monday. Having a greasy pizza day doesn't really leave me wanting to work out, lol! Also, they were charging me 19.99 per month because I signed up for the black card. 3 months ago we were being charged $25.05 a month for an unknown reason. When I asked the employees they said they didn't know. I went in about 3 weeks ago and quit my membership. Never again! I'm trying to find another small, cheap gym that I could go to. As of now, I'm exercising a bit at home but it's nice to get out of the house! read more

I've been visiting this gym a couple of times a week since January. I go around 5pm, which is a crowded time, but I've only ever had to wait for one weight machine. There are always plenty of open treadmills and ellipticals. Planet Fitness offers free fitness training, so you can meet with a trainer to design a work-out plan, and then you can come in at certain times each week to work out with the trainer. They also have a "no-lunk" policy, which means to grunting while lifting weights and no judging other people. Of course it sounds a little corny, but being a woman in a co-ed gym can be kind of intimidating and uncomfortable at times. I feel more comfortable here than I did at Gold's Gym when I was a member. Another plus, it's VERY affordable - only $10 per month - and there's no contract! I decided to give it a try, and I'm pretty hooked on it now. read more

It's pretty good it's not hot in there like I would expect it's nice and cool, there's good employees at the front desk, there's a spray that you can use to clean machines before using them and wiping them with paper towels. read more

I swear they have atleast one person on the shift listening to any grunting, weight dropping, or anyone breathing.. just to set off the lunk alarm. IT IS OBNOXIOUS. I will be taking my money elsewhere. read more

Waiting for contract to expire. I think it is really ironic there is paper towels all over the gym but no towels in the bathroom .They have these annoying hand dryers that I feel like I need ear protection on when I am around them. They would not give me the free gym bag when I signed up for the contract until I give them the checking account information, now I finally give the information because it is mandatory and no bag? I hear others saying about the kids running the counter , I do think they should have an older manager . A year contract goes by rather quick so it is affordable and ok for now. read more

Hate this gym. It's overcrowded and can sometimes get dirty. Also, they have mostly high school kids running the front counter. Totally unprofessional: chit-chatting, on their cell phones, etc. The "personal training" is a joke. This place is only good for storing a treadmill. Even then, you have to get past the skeezy guys trying to hit on or verbally assault you to actually get a work out. The tanning beds are really stand-up bronzers. You have to already have a good base tan going to get anything out of them. Better off investing your money in another place for tanning or laying out in the sun. I'm going to save my money and just buy my own treadmill. read more

Great spot to just get your workout in without any personal trainers bothering you. A basic gym without the classes. You are solely on your own. read more

I agree with everything Francesca said in the review about getting harassed by Eric! He does nothing but walk around and harass certain people for no real reason! I have been a member since December of 2019, and have ran into some of the same issues with Eric! He seems to target some people for harassment! Because of the Pandemic, I was away from the club from April 2020, and suspended membership from February 2021 until April 2021, when I started a new membership. However, I wanted to wait until more people were vaccinated before returning and hoped to do so in May, but ended up having foot surgery in May. Even though I'm still wearing surgical shoe and limping on my right foot, I decided to return to working out with weights, for the first time today! However, no sooner did I start my workout at the abs equipment, Eric came over to harass me about a small black bag I had with a bottle of aspirin, should the surgical foot start hurting, and a bottle of prescription Meclizene for vertigo, as I have positional vertigo and never know when I will get an attack! Neededless to say, Eric didn't want to hear why I had the small bag, which no one could see or care about, but him! I was so angry, as one goes to the gym to exercise, relieve stress and feel rejuvenated. Not to be constantly harassed and belittled! Eric needs to get a life, and not be so damn picky! While I understand there are rules and guidelines, he needs to pick his battles and let clients workout peacefully and undisturbed! I don't need to be harassed when I go to the gym. After a few exchange of words, he told me that he can cancel my membership! I was so pissed that I said go ahead! I was so angry, that I simply couldn't continue with the workout! I picked up my small bag and walked up to the desk and asked for a manager's contact info. I was given a card with a phone number that turned out to be the club's number. I went back inside to get better contact information for someone over Eric, but I noticed a piece of paper with my name, membership # and the word cancelled! I DIDN'T ASK FOR MY MEMBERSHIP TO BE CANCELLED! I said so to Eric, who said that was what I wanted! I came back home to get a cancellation notice with manual written where there should be my signature, requesting cancellation! I think Manassas Planet Fitness will continue to have issues, with Eric as a manager and if he keeps harassing clients! So sad!! read more
