Pros: cleanliness; both the fitness area and the locker rooms are tidy and well maintained. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Open early/late enough to accommodate most schedules. Cons: Way too many people sit on the machines and text/scroll on their phones, often for extended periods. Staff doesn't address the problem. If I end up canceling my membership it will be because of that. If PF management is reading this, instruct staff to crack down on people who refuse to move off of the equipment and use their phones in the designated area. read more

Nice location. Clean facilities. Helpful and friendly staff. Nice variety of machines to get a good workout. Love the Hydro massage chairs an the regular ones also. Big locker rooms. Highly recommended. Have the Black Card so I enjoy visiting different locations. Stop by of you're in the area. Enough parking close by so that makes it convenient. Have a great workout! read more

Unfortunately, my planet fitness experience in Edgewood was absolutely terrible to say the least. Every worker there has bad customer service to put it nicely, and their "policy" is so hypocritical that it's almost comical. I went to this planet fitness wearing my slides because I like to squat with no shoes as many people do. I was approached by a worker who said you must have tennis shoes to workout. There was no prior warning and nobody told me that this was not allowed. I responded and calmly said "isn't this a judge free zone?" The worker responded in outrage. He immediately kicked me out and tried to argue with me even more when I was simply trying to clarify with him that I was being judged for what I was wearing. His response was childish and as a service worker, you should never respond to someone with anger. I will not be back at this Planet Fitness and I recommend that you stay away from it as well. Don't support a business that takes pride in their "judgement free" policy while judging you themselves behind the scenes. read more

The gym itself isn't bad. A bit outdated but my main issue is management and the employees. I worked at PF before and know how their system works and every time I enter the staff seems unhappy to be there and take no time in being condescending. There was also a situation where I left my watch in the tanning bed, walked out and walked back in & the only person who was in that bed in that time period was a worker who I have to believe stole my brand new watch. When I asked about the situation, the worker denied any watch being present. read more

I love this gym! It's super close to my house, always clean, cheap price, and convenient. It's been the only good gym i've belonged to since moving to Pittsburgh. I've tried a couple of other gyms including South Side location LA Fitness- hated it. The bathrooms are clean, the employees are nice, the other gym guests are nice, plenty of parking in the lot, near the Giant Eagle so I can go to the gym and do a grocery run in 1 trip. Love it! read more

A bit small but clean and not very busy. Has everything you need except for maybe some specific machines like decline press. But overall great for the price and is more than enough. read more

I Enjoy Lifting At The Castle Shannon Club It is so clean and organized Thanks to the great staff including Ashley and Barbie read more

Planet fitness 24hours 5 days a week as it says should tell it how it is it's only 24-4 idk why they changed it missed it being open 24/7

Usable facilities, good culture, poor employee treatment, wonderful massage equipment, and the worst music in the history of music.

My experience is that this is an unsafe location and the management has no interest in security of their members. I had my locker broken into, notified the staff, filled out a paper report at the front desk, filled out an online report, and a month has passed with no follow up from the business. read more

This is nothing against the staff or anything, but the new hours are horrible. I work off hours, having it be open late/early really was the only time I could go. I understand that hours are subject to change but just wanted to voice that the new hours are awful and I can hardly ever go anymore. read more

I had been a member of this Planet Fitness for a couple years before I cancelled my membership last month. What I liked about it was the $10 a month membership, access 24/7 and the free purple ink pens. I never had any problems finding a cardio machine as there are plenty. The free weight area is actually small and, as spacious as this entire facility is, the free weight area could've been expanded. It was so. . .tight. The women's locker room is okay. There are 3-4 showers that get cleaned regularly throughout the day and two changing stalls. The water fountains outside of the locker rooms seem to break down repeatedly. In that case you can a get free bottle of water. Once a month PF has complimentary bagels and the next week they have complimentary pizza- both are one day events. I've only eaten one bagel and one slice of pizza during my entire membership. I give this Planet Fitness at Edgewood Town Center 4 stars, but I give the entire chain 3 stars. Why? I do not like PF's hypocritical "judgement free zone" philosophy. Okay, I think I get it. It's important for someone out of shape to have a safe, supportive environment to work out. But if PF is really "judgement free," why are people who lift weights, wear tanks and drink water called "lunks"? Why is there a "lunk alarm" at the gym? This explains why the free weight area is so small! read more

Planet Fitness - Planet Fitness doesn't like "lunks." - Gyms Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I'm not much of a gym person so when a friend asked me to join the gym with him I was a bit pessimistic. I've tried going to a 24 hour gym before but didn't have the motivation to keep up with it. It's been three months since I started at the gym and I'm a bit addicted now. The conveinence of having the gym so close to where I live is a huge plus. It being in Edgewood isn't convienent for people in other parts of the city however. The price is right to if you want to do the gym on the cheap, $10 a month, if you want to tan yourself silly, the perk will cost you $20 a month for the membership. The place is always clean, the staff keep on top of that task, evidence by them always cleaning the machines. As for the 'Lunk Alarm' it scares the crap out of you if someone drops a weight. The locker rooms kind of remind you of being in a high school locker room, but it is a great perk to be able to shower there especially if you need to run somewhere afterwards. read more

Yup, I'm loving it. I've officially been a member for 1 month and couldn't be happier. It's always clean, the staff is pretty down to earth and friendly and I always seem to get the machine I want. While there are no classes, PF supports a no frills policy that seems to speak to all types of folks who, really just want to work out, get healthy, and make positive life choices. Yesterday, while running on a treadmill, I was sandwiched between a 60+ year old fella in Captian Ahab fashion and a woman with sparkly green eyeshadow and a green Christmas tree sweatshirt. In front of me was a cute 20 something gal in a UCLA sweats. Yeah, PF is the epitome of diverse and I absolutely dig it. The tanning "beds" are the stand up kind, which I personally dislike because of the claustrophobic factor. In my opinion, skip them. BUT it's only 19.99 a month for the membership plus tanning, which you can't beat!! read more

Planet Fitness - Gyms Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This is a very solid gym for the price, which includes tanning and massage chairs. It can be very busy depending on the time of the day you go, I've noticed it is the busiest when the work day ends around 5-6. So, if you don't like waiting for machines or having a lot of people around you, I don't recommend going at this time. That being said, still a good place to workout. You never feel judged and the staff is friendly and accommodating. My one complaint is that I know Planet Fitness' are supposed to have fitness classes throughout the day and I'm not sure if this one does. I've been there at various times and I never see anything going on or any schedules about them. If they are actually happening, that would be great and I would totally use them! read more

I just read yesterday that roughly 200 people were infected with COVID-19 at a Planet Fitness location in Virginia. This isn't just an inconvenience matter, people are getting sick at PF clubs because they don't enforce mask wearing or social distancing. I went to the Planet Fitness at Edgewood Shopping Center in Pittsburgh PA and not one person was wearing a mask, not front desk staff or other employees. I asked the manager why no one was wearing a mask when the sign on the door clearly states that masks must be worn at all times. I expressed my concerns about the outbreak of Corona virus tied to their VA club. Rather than speak with me like a professional adult, he had an attitude and turned his back on me to ignore me. I asked for the phone number to their corporate office and he refused to give me the phone number. Then he told me to "act like a man" or "get the fuck out" and cancelled my membership. I filed a complaint with both the Allegheney County Health Dept and the PA State Health Dept. Planet Fitness Staff were not wearing face masks and neither were any of the members. Not one person. Staff has also not been replenishing paper towels and cleaner in a timely manner. The managers response was to bully and insult me and then cancel my membership. I'm pissed. Is this how managers are allowed to treat customers? I had a legitimate concern and all he did was insult me and punish me by cancelling my membership. Fuck the manager at this club location. He's a jerk who doesn't know how to deal with customer concerns without taking it personally. Horrible location. Go elsewhere. Do not recommend. read more

I called to cancel my membership when lockdown started, I was told I need to mail them a letter to cancel. I didn't have stamps and everything was shut down. I was unable to mail them a letter. I walked into the club today in person... during a COVID surge... to cancel my subscription. I asked for a refund on the yearly fee they took out of my account. A worker wasn't wearing the mask over her nose. I was supposed to sign all this fine print to end my membership. I didn't have the time to comb through it and I absolutely do not trust planet fitness so I ask to talk to a manager about what it says because I kept seeing the word "fee" in the fine print. The worker asks me what it says and I start reading it to her. And she cuts me off and says "The first word if the sentence is 'IF'" She was clearly not in a place to be doing customer service. I felt embarrassed and insecure.She seemed to be looking for a confrontation and I didn't have the energy for it. She gets the manager who is not very helpful at all!!!!! He is mumbling and doesn't seem interested in working with me. Barely any eye contact or questions about how he can help. I was going to sign up again after this whole COVID thing was over. I was even happy to pay a little more in the future if they raised their prices. They have lost me as a customer. I tried to make a complaint with corporate and I couldn't get a hold of anyone. No accountability! read more

The place had a lot of parking and a really neat sign it's a plus it's in a Plaza with other businesses. Check in was easy and the place was clean plus the equipment was all in working order. I used the massage chair and the area was good but I'm surprised they don't have remotes for the TVs but that's my only complaint. read more

It's totally acceptable. I rate this one higher because it is a bit more spacious than the other locations (Monroeville and north Versailles) It's usually pretty clean. The locker room smells at times but that's true of any locker rooms any gym. I used to go to the la fitness in Monroeville. It wasn't any cleaner. Save some $$ and go here, unless you have to have a pool. The best part is that they don't do the pizza and bagel nights anymore. That was so gross. read more

I joined with a Black Card Membership, with the understanding that I could terminate my membership without penalty at any time. I was traveling around the USA for a month, so this was perfect, as Planet Fitness has so many locations. When I returned home to Argentina and tried to quit, however, I was told I must do so in person. Well, that's kinda hard... I was then told that I had to do it in writing, even though it was obviously me on the phone. I wrote a letter. Still, 2 months later they're sucking dues from my bank account. I call them, oh yeah, OK, sorry, we'll terminate your membership NOW, and sorry, but we won't refund the extra dues we took. I contacted their corporate office, but sorry, these are individually-owned franchises and we can't help you. read more

This location can really be a mess. Sometimes it's fine and totally worth the $10 and others not so much. There's one older woman who I guess is a front desk attendant who never appears to be working. She is usually engaged in conversation with several older men who are EXTREMELY loud and obnoxious. She was standing right beside one of them when he kept clanking and slamming the weights around and grunting like Serena Williams during Wimbledon. Do you think the "lunk alarm" when off ? Of course not. Like when I tell you, of all of the times I've been, this group of four or five older gentleman are the most obnoxious guests in the whole gym and the staff encourage the loud/rude behavior. I'm considering moving my home gym to Brentwood or somewhere with less riff raff. All I want to do is work out in an environment that's less like a sports bar. read more

Spacious gym with plenty of parking. This is isn't the cleanest Planet Fitness I've been to and I always wish it were cleaner -- deep cleaning the cardio equipment and floors would help a lot. Some of the padding on other equipment is cracking and worn out or just needs to be updated. It just feels like the equipment generally is older than at other Planet Fitness locations I've visited. Trash often is full and bathrooms could be cleaned more often. I also wish they'd add a water bottle refill station to their water fountain. That said it truly feels welcoming and I always appreciate that. read more

Join this gym three months ago and I love it. Way better than LA Fitness! Plus free tanning and massage chairs. I love how they won't let you feel intimidated or out of shape. Staff is really nice and it's clean read more

Okay, so to update my previous review: Unless you plan on solely using the gym as a place to do cardio exercises and use weight machines, avoid this gym like the plague. They wouldn't let me use my foam roller or resistance bands here because of their 'no outside equipment' policy. Also, they don't provide things like stability balls or medicine balls, which are pretty much standard gym fare. Also, the siren alarm makes a terrible and distracting sound whenever someone drops weights or otherwise displeases the staff. It is so loud/unexpected that I have hurt myself both of the times it went off in my presence -- once I clocked myself in the head with a dumbbell, and once I got startled by it in the shower, and fell on my ass. Furthermore, for a place with a 'no-judgement' policy, this gym seems to have a high tolerance for people laughing at people whose workout routines involve compound exercises. Yes, some of these movements are strange-looking. No, that doesn't mean it's OK to openly laugh at other gym-goers. I quit this gym yesterday and will NOT be coming back. read more

I was a member of this PF up until a couple of months ago and it suited me just fine. I had the black card membership, which was $20/month for a 12 month commitment and allowed me to bring a friend. My hubby and I went together, and getting the black card was a better deal because there is also a yearly maintenance fee of $30 or so with each membership. So if you plan to go with someone else, instead of paying $10/month each for two memberships + two yearly maintenance fees, pay $20/month for one and save yourself one maintenance fee (hey, every little bit helps!) Plus the black card gives you perks like unlimited tanning and use of the massage chair (if you're into those things). Anyhow, like others have said, this is a no-frills facility, so if you're a serious gym rat, I don't think you'll be happy here. Mostly cardio machines, basic strength training machines, and a small free weights area...perfect for those with basic fitness needs. Like their commercials emphasize, there is no "gymtimidation" -- you'll see all types of people here. Also, the gym itself and locker rooms were always very clean. Yes, it definitely would get crowded, especially during the after-work hours in the winter, so it's good if you have the flexibility to go earlier or later. But even during peak times, I usually was able to get a cardio machine, even if it wasn't the one I wanted. Once a month they do offer "Free Pizza Monday" and "Free Bagel Tuesday" (actually, I'm not sure if those are the correct days of the week, but you get the idea). I never partook in the free food, since it seems sort of counterproductive. But I regularly saw people come in just for the free pizza with no intention of working out, haha. I guess it's part of their "no judgement" motto. Btw -- does it drive anyone else crazy that they choose to include the "E" in their spelling of judgment? I know it's technically not incorrect, but it irks me every time I see it! read more

The people behind the counter are constantly on their phones.. or not behind the desk at all... the first time we came in, we tried to get our ID cards... there was a pittsburgh sherif behind the desk... he was on the computers but said he couldn't help guests because he wasn't an employee.. finally ten minutes later a girl comes behind the desk and treats us like an inconvenience... today, girls are on their phones again, we tried to get coins for the massage chairs. The other girl taps a girl with a hat on, on the shoulder she looks up at us, rolls her eyes, says something under her breath which looked like she was calling us motherfu*****. Then gave us coins without a smile or anything, like we were inconveniencing her phone time.. If your customer service people are gonna treat people like an inconvenience, then 1, they should be fired, or two you shouldn't have a front desk for them to treat people like that.. absolutely horrible... read more

Alright its time for an update... since I have been coming here since 2011. This year I upgraded to the more expensive option (still cheapy cheap at 25$ / month). After some thought and time I regret it and if it were not for the ultra convenience of this location for I might have left this gym by now. Here's the dish.... This gym is suffering from gym plague which happens to several 24 hour gyms... it simply is over sold. Membership to equipment ratio... which means if you in peak hours (am between 7-9 am or pm between 4-9 pm) you will be hard pressed to find an open treadmill, or exercise bike since there is only a handful of them. A lot of the machine and equipment are taking a serious bashing and are out of order from time to time. Including the water fountains. Which were down for over a week period, some days water was offered to patrons at the front and some days it was not. Errrr what gym does not have water? Its also very loud which I can hang with but the country music playing in the women's locker room has got to go. Things are not as clean as they used to be either... understandable this gym has several more patrons now. But they shouldn't be running out of paper towels and spray bottles for me to wipe down the machines after use. Couple that with lack of diversity of workout options here sooooo many stationary weights makes for an over crowded free weight area 89 % of the time. It is just not that comfortable to workout here anymore. I wish they would rid of some of the free weights and either a.) expand the free weights area or b. add a better area for stretching with more mats and workout balls (i.e. medicine yoga etc) read more

I joined Planet Fitness a few months ago. The facility is extremely clean, but the staff sounds a horn if you make a grunting noise while lifting weights...kind of strange. The price is right, $10.00 a month, and the hours are great as well. For an extra 10 bucks a month you can have unlimited use of the tanning stalls, and massage chairs. It's kind of a gimmicky place, but still one of the most reasonable in work-out clubs in town. read more

Lady with long braided hair at the front desk was very unprofessional when asked about the hours being changed and if they would be changed back. Made a comment as I was walking away about being tired of being asked about it. Planet fitness is advertised as a 24/7 gym which works with anyone's schedule. This was one of the main reasons I chose this gym. This is very unfortunate as I've been a member for five years and I'll be seeking a better cleaner gym that fits better with my schedule. read more

I LOVE Planet Fitness!! I've been a member for a little over two months now and it is perfect for me. Don't let the idea of the "lunk alarm" scare you away... I've never even heard it go off. Pros: 1) They have soooo many machines. I go after work most days, so even during that 5-6pm hour I can always find an open machine. The treadmills do get pretty full, but there's usually 5-10 open at any given time, as long as you don't mind jumping in the one open spot between two treadmills in use. (Seems silly to mention, but I've met plenty of people who won't do it for some reason.) 2) There is always space in the locker room. There are also three showers and changing stalls. 3) The entire place is SPOTLESS. Absolutely, without a doubt the cleanest gym I've ever been in. Even in the locker rooms. 4) Crowd is nice. It varies a lot, so everyone should really feel welcome here. They're succeeding with making it a no judgement zone, that's for sure. There's old people, teenagers, college students, etc. Very nice mix and everyone I've met is friendly enough. 5) Cheap cooler drinks. Bottled water for $1 (50 cents if you have a black card). Cons: 1) There are no classes at this gym, just machines. (I only use machines anyway, but I think it's important to note.) Although, you can sign up to do unlimited sessions with a personal trainer (I think it's probably only beneficial for beginners who want to learn how to use the machines). 2) Weightlifting section is tiny. 3) Two days a month, they give pizza and bagels. There's a bowl of candy on the front desk, piled high with Tootsie Rolls at all times. I always thought of gyms as being a safe zone when trying to reach health/fitness goals... not so here. With PF as a gym that caters to people just starting their fitness journey, this blows my mind. The whole thing sounds like a quick and easy way to sabotage that. This gym is cheap, clean, and worth the $10 (even if you just stop in for the free food). read more

I started going to this location a couple of months ago after moving to Pittsburgh. If it wasn't close to where I live I wouldn't go here. Equipment looks run down with several pieces that have needed fixing for a while. Some machines have missing cup holders. The employees don't greet a single person entering. Half the time the employees are passed out sleeping at the front desk and the other half of the time they are on their phones. The employees look like they can't stand working there. I've been to several other planet fitnesses and this is by far the worst location. read more

What a bunch of judgmental loons... First of all, the bucket of tootsie rolls upon entering and exiting isn't an offering, a statement of their "fuck too much fitness" attitude but a gimmick to assure repeat business. Knowing damn well that vanity and insecurities will prevail....here take the tootsie, you know you want it, live a little, you can work it off next time....rinse, repeat motherfucker!! And how is defining a "lunk" welcoming and not judging? What planet fitness prides itself on is bullshit, I'm on to you assclowns! Go ahead and ring the alarm and tell yourself that you're not the asshole, seriously, give it a go. I'm not a weightlifter meathead jock fuck but there is a certain joy in slam dunking weights while jumping up and screaming "oh fuck yeah" but you exclusionary turds wouldn't understand. And what if I like to drink water from a milk container? Maybe I'm overweight and sweat a shit ton and get hella dehydrated? One water fountain wouldn't cut it and judging one based on the size of their water container is classiest and shitty. Not everyone can afford Klean Kanteans, you jerks. You make passion seem like s naughty no- no....Jesus would totally fucking hate you. But your cheap and offer skin cancer treatments so......that's cool? The staff are nice but you corporate pigs at planet fitness should stop forcing them to repeat your crappy ideology when one calls about a membership, it reeks of suspicion. I like you because your cheap but your shitty judgy self righteous attitude sucks. One day the lunks you've outted will protest your establishment with picket signs, gallons of water and skimpy shirts and I'll be the feller pointing and laughing at YOU planet fuckhole, pointing and laughing at YOU!!! read more

Base this review off of the fact that this gym is $10 a month. I use this gym solely on the weekends in the winter for the treadmills. They do have weights and some machines and really all in all the selection is decent. No flat benches or barbells. Just a few smith machines. If that is all you need then for $10 this place is a steal.. It is clean. Probably the cleanest in the area. The music is not to loud. When I got at 5am it is usually empty. It is the only gym in the area that is open 24 hours. It is the only gym as far as I know with free wifi. Hey, I like to stream movies while I run. The locker rooms have old style lockers but you know what they are the best kind. Nice and big with a shelf up top for my wallet etc. All in all the better gyms like the one I got to during the week could learn something from this place. read more

Three stars for the $10 a month membership, from a financial standpoint it's great. However.... I've been a member for about eighteen months. In that time, the same cardio machines have been broken, and the same ones have been worn down. It's a crapshoot whether you get one that has grinding gears in it that will slip (and boy does that feel good on your knees!). The same machines have had temporarily out of order signs on them since the first day I came in. Now obviously I'm not expecting the staff to fix the machines that isn't their job, the staff is good. But holy god show some pride in your facilities Planet Fitness. I don't know if it's a franchise thing or what but it's ridiculous to let the machinery deteriorate like this. Might as well get rid of the broken machines and space things out better. Also get some rowing machines, seriously. read more

This is the gym for the average person. I love it!!! It's a great price and the 24 hour access is great. It has the standard equipment but has it in sections that make you feel welcomed. I love the chain linked fences dividing the areas. There are 16 TVs (8 different channels) and the machines have their own built in radio and jack to listen to the TV. It is great. I also appreciate the bright colors, cleanliness of the gym and restrooms, and the diversity. This is the gym for everyone. (I've had friends that have gotten 6-packs by going here--it can be done!) read more

If you're looking for a place to get the job done, this is it. Please don't expect anything other than treadmills, weights and a few machines staring you in the face when you walk in. If you are a terrified gym-goer like I am, that was really intimidating. I really just joined for winter running (which I did none of- which is also why I'm going to attempt to cancel my membership tomorrow) so that's what I did. It being so open freaked me out, not gonna lie. The staff has always been really nice (save for that one time I asked about a scale :/). I have the Black Card membership and do NOT use the tanning beds or the massage chairs. The locker room was always clean, lockers were always available and the bathrooms could use a little work but I mean, it is the bathroom. Some people are gross! I plan on joining another gym and I think I'm a little sad to leave but the new one is SO much closer to my house. Planet Fitness, you were good while you lasted. Now let me quit you without hassle! (The horror stories are making me nervous!) read more

This planet fitness is a pretty good gym, and when you consider that it only costs $10 per month, it's a great gym. I used to go to LA fitness in south side, but decided to leave because of the lack of free parking, high prices ($30/month), crowds, and the fact that I just never wanted to go. Planet fitness actually feels like it's "no judgement" tagline. There are a variety of people in there, not just 30-and-under already fit people. There are people of all ages and fitness levels. This location has a ton of treadmills and ellipticals, and a decent amount of bikes and that other elliptical-type machine. There are two of every weight lifting machine, and there are people other than jacked dudes using them! I am a 23 year old woman and I don't feel weird using those machines (again, unlike LA fitness where I never even tried). That's my favorite thing about this gym. There are no fitness classes (though there is one personal trainer) and no pool. This wasn't a deal breaker for me, especially since again, it's only $10/month. There is a lot of parking and a giant eagle in the same shopping center, which is actually a pretty big plus. So, my bottom line is that it's not an ordeal to get yourself to, park, find a machine, and start working out here. And you really don't feel pressure to compare yourself to those around you. Everybody is sort of doing their own thing. And the weight lifting machines are varied and actually usable! read more

My fiance and I work out here a few times a week. Staff is nice enough and the patrons are some of the most considerate/clean folks I've ever worked out with. Everyone wipes down the machines after work outs. The equipment is rarely broken. Bathrooms are clean. And if you have kids they can come work out with you for free as your guest no matter how many times you come. read more

It's $10 a month plus an enrollment fee and an annual fee. It's the cheapest gym around. That being said, it's not the Taj Mahal of gyms. But, it's $10 a month. They have a decent selection of machines. Almost all of the machines work on a regular basis and it's not terribly dirty or stinky. It's definitely worth the money. read more

This is a great, inexpensive gym. I was a member at the Uniontown PF until I moved to the city, and the transition was super easy. I like this one better simply because most of the other members here are just doin their thang (not the case in good ol UT, everyone always checkin out every else..I'm not at the gym to compete with anyone but myself, ya feel?). Lots of cardio equipment, 4 squat racks, and pretty much 2 of most of the other equipment. The staff is friendly, but not overly so (a very good quality, in my book). Four stars because the one leg machine (both of them) that I like is consistently broke. Plus, it's $10 a month. Really, there is nowhere cheaper. read more
