Everything about the staff and the gym itself is excellent! The only problem that occurs every spring/summer is the gym temperature. The company is too cheap to use the air conditioner when the temperature goes up. Leaving the doors open for cool air is not sufficient. More than anything, the members that think you want to smell their body odor are disgusting. They must belong to the same club as the members that don't clean the machines after use. These people ruin things for the rest of the mindful members that were raised with manners and decency. They make me gag and should be thrown out of the gym by the health department. read more

Closing 7pm is way too early. I hate this new standard for PF. Most people work out in the evenings. Keep it open until 9 at least.

Very Clean! Make sure you are aware even if they say it's zero dollars down and however much a month, you will be charged an annual fee, I think it's $60. They did not tell me that until the very very end when we already were doing paperwork. Also, they are in a very dead mall and say they don't have space to add things the newer locations have. I think it would be nice if they got some updated black card benefits. read more

This is not my home gym but it was a nice change of pace while visiting. I visited the day after Thanksgiving, so the town was less crowded since students were away. The gym was practically empty when we arrived around 9 am on Black Friday which was fantastic! I have a feeling they get crowded during a regular in-session week. The gym and equipment all felt fairly new. The layout was intuitive and the bathroom was a helluva lot better than the PF near my house. They also had a bunch of Smith Machines available (the ones at my gym are always taken) so I very much enjoyed not having to wait. Overall, for the price and quality of the facilities you can't go wrong here! read more

I've been a member at this planet fitness for about a year now, and my most recent visit (after a few months of covid isolation around the holidays) was a tremendous disappointment. The biggest thing I noticed was the crowds... because Penn State has closed their university gyms, all the students who live in State College joined PF so they'd have access to a gym. Fine for business but means the parking lot and all the gym equipment is pretty crowded (much more than before the lockdowns). I understand they can't deny new memberships but they could do a hell of a lot better at enforcing social distancing and mask wearing. The second thing I noticed was no very clear signage about what exactly the rules for masking were. I walked in after a few months' absence assuming the rules were as they were in the fall of last year. I recall the rules (from emails and social media posts) being "wear a mask when you come in and walk around, but you don't have to wear one while actually working out on the equipment". However today I went and immediate got scolded by a new employee (who hadn't seen me before to know i used to come very regularly) because I had my mask on my chin while on the elliptical (it was not covering my nose or mouth). I did this because I had not received any email updates about mask rules since last year, and I also saw many people pulling their masks down while using equipment too. I of course obliged and wore my mask for my workout but it truly is very difficult to have my nose obstructed while doing cardio. I wish they would take temperatures at the door or lower capacity rather than requiring a mask on equipment. There are a lot of reasons I want to exercise, one being my lung capacity is currently really low and I do cardio to eventually boost that. BUT that's discouraging when I'm borderline having a panic attack trying to breathe and will get scolded by a worker for trying to catch my breath. Overall, I'm not really sure how to move forward. There are no other budget friendly gyms in town, but I hate being surrounded by reckless undergraduates who hang out in clusters at the gym and often don't have their masks on (but I get called out for not wearing it for CARDIO!!). It's a mess. But I'm not physically able to get outside much in the winter here, so I may have to splurge on a better gym until things clear up. Really sad. I had a great few months there. read more

Hi it's good I wish they would go back to 24/7 tho :( never went back to the normal hours after Covid

The place is pretty new but the black card area was really nice and the place was clean. All the equipment worked and the staff was nice it was real easy for me to checkin since I was traveling. Locker rooms were sufficient read more

Planet Fitness - Gyms Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

Great place to work out. I noticed new equipment that helps make the workout experience enjoyable. Just know that no matter what gym you go to there will be self righteous a$$holes that think there are all that and can't help trying to be above you. read more

What the heck does this PF close so early?!?! 7pm on a Saturday! That makes no sense. Terrible. 9pm I could understand but 7pm on a Saturday?! read more

Decent location. A good selection of machines and the Black Card Member Spa has a good variety. The biggest thing you will run into here is people playing around on their phones and hogging the equipment. read more

Planet Fitness, Ocoee Hidden Annual maintenance fee. It can be really 10.50 a month for 11 months and then 60.00 for the month that they charge you the annual maintenance fee. Our month was september, after joining in July. So when we cancelled in October 2nd. They said no refund on annual maintenance fee. Annual maintenance is hardly apparent in the advertising. Consumer should be more aware of taxes and fees not mentioned. read more

New expansion and renovation is excellent. The space is huge, well maintained, very clean, and comfortable. This is a gym where anyone can feel comfortable regardless of skill level or physical condition. Anything inappropriate is handled by staff and guests are asked to leave. read more

I used to love this gym, and was so sad when it had to shut down for Covid. I couldn't wait to get vaccinated and venture back in to the gym to start working out again. What a huge disappointment! The crowd meter is a joke, and the gym is always loaded with students walking around wearing masks like a chin strap. There were even a group of girls sitting in the back corner with no masks on at all. If I can wear a mask with asthma when I work out, 20 year olds can too. I've complained to staff, but they could care less. After today's experience, it's time to cancel my membership and maybe make a call to the health department. read more

It's a nice gym. They have all the equipment you need besides a real bench but using dumbbells is fine. The only problem is that none of the workers enforce mask wearing. There's many signs saying you need to wear a mask at all times, so I don't understand why they can't enforce it. They say some people claim to have "medical conditions." Well, wouldn't you not wanna be exposed to Covid if you have a medical condition.. it's not that hard to wear a mask read more

can you guys add more 10/15 lb. barbells cause when its busy they are always taken and i need to get my gains xoxo

I come here every time while visiting my son at Penn State. I've been to many many gyms to work out, this one is extremely clean, has state of the art machines and an overall cool vibe with clever marketing. I recommend it highly. read more

This really isn't that bad of a place despite its reputation of "lunk alarms" and that kind of horsesh**. And make no mistake: it's a GYM. I understand trying a different marketing angle, but it is a GYM. The negatives are that the dumbbells only go up to 75lbs. and they don't have standard benches w/ olympic bars, only Smith machines. read more

I'm trying to get information about a membership and I can't even get these people to email me back. Not only do you have to email your local club with questions, when you dig deeper into the site they offer a "higher" customer service to contact. When you click on it, it takes you to the same email form for your local club. So I sent an email through there a week later in case they claim their email didn't work. Here we are 2 weeks later and nadda! Even their website is an atrocity. On their home page, they make the $10/month offer but the number one is actually the capital letter "I". If their lack of detail is that bad, their site is a work of futility and they can't even bother to contact you back about a membership...why would you want to give them your money? read more

Don't go if you expect people to be wearing masks for protection from COVID. I counted 6 gym patrons this morning with their masks on their chins or below (with both mouth and nose exposed). And countless others with their noses uncovered. read more

I really enjoy this place to go work out. There are people of all different sizes and ages here to work out. The staff are friendly and helpful. Definitely worth the $20 read more

At this point, I am in the stage where I need to gather as much information as possible by phone and before driving out there to get a look at everything. Two phone calls, answered by two different people, were both completely unknowledgeable about membership information, their monthly membership special and other general, BASIC questions that an employee of any gym should know. Also, they want your checking account information to suck the monthly membership fee from. Doesn't Planet Fitness KNOW that there are 50,000 new cases of identity theft every year in just the United States alone? read more

Lots of options, affordable, decent location if you live on that side of town. Equipment in good shape, solid. I absolutely love that all of the cardio machines basically are pointed in the same direction, and the free weights are off to the side, so you don't feel like you're staring at each other like you do at the YMCA. Every gym has some kind of negative side I guess and for planet fitness it's that they rely on people attaching their checking account. You cannot use a credit card or pay them cash or pay for a year upfront... You absolutely must bring in your checking account information to join this gym. Then in order to cancel it you have to go in to cancel it. You cannot cancel it over the phone. You can see how this works out well for them. While it may be $10 a month for the basic membership which gets you all the workout gear but not the tanning beds or massage etc.... But you need to stay on top of your membership and cancel it if you don't want to go there and that means going in. Also, people seem to forget that every year you pay what is currently $39 on top of your monthly payment. I worked in a bank and had tons of people calling in saying that they didn't authorize planet fitness to take that yearly fee. Yeah...they sure did. They just forgot it was happening. Finally, I really wish their massage chairs were 10 min, not 5. Or there was an option for getting two tokens at once for ten! I'm just getting comfy and it shuts off. Paying more than double what most do, I'd like a ten min option. read more

From Wisconsin this is a very nice PF. Has different machines then other ones which is a good thing. Will return soon. Being in small is different. But doesn't bother me at all. read more

Planet Fitness State College is the most amazing gym I have ever been in. The staff is incredible! Remembering my name and saying hello when I walk in makes me feel good. I feel so comfortable working out on the equipment. It truly is a judgement free place. The price is very reasonable and as a black card member going to other Planet Fitness's while on vacation is an added bonus. I love the place!! read more

Planet Fitness State College is a great health club. The staff are kind and accommodating. The club had a wide variety of equipment. The facility is always clean. I've been a member since it first opened. I think Planet Fitness needs to add a second club in the State College area. A second Planet Fitness on the west side of town would be well received. read more

LIES and lost money. Very disappointing. Save your money for something that isn't a SCAM. I went to cancel and an employee told me that there would be a huge fee. So, since it would supposedly cost the same to just keep the membership, I ask that it not be renewed and just curse my initial poor decision of signing up for this garbage. Well, surprise! It was renewed and I saw a 40 dollar charge on my account. Hoping it was mistake, I went to the gym and stated my issue. The employee told me there is, in fact, no cancellation fee! I was LIED to and it cost me $140. That's a hundred dollars in monthly fees plus the 40 annual fee! Of course I immediately ask what can be done about this. The employee tells me he can't do anything and to wait for a manager to come in. So I WAIT. When the manager arrives, she simply tells me that there is nothing she can do other than contact corporate. She said I would be called, but she didn't know when. I was forced to leave with no resolution and just another employee's word that someone (who could actually do something) would be contacted. I hope this one isn't lying. I left frustrated, with no refund and no timeline or information about resolving the issue outside of "we'll call you". This place has a COMPLETE LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE. I deeply regret getting involved with planet fitness. P.S. THEY NEVER EVEN CALLED after weeks of waiting. read more

Worst gym I've ever walked into! The staff are not motivating and the trainers do not seem certified. Overall, I will never come back to this gym. read more

As being a past member of other gyms you can't beat the amount of equipment available at PF State College. There are so many treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, stair climbers, the list goes on... My ONLY complaint is the use of cell phones by others, mostly the younger generation (yes I am over 40)... When I signed up I was told no use of cell phones while on the equipment, I get it and I listened, I leave the phone in the car when I am in the gym. I normally ignore when someone is on their phone until it impedes me from using a piece of equipment because "Susie" is feverishly texting whomever while just sitting on a piece of equipment. Me I worked all day, I am there to get my workout in and get home, so if you want to be chatting via text, get off of the equipment. I feel the staff needs to police that a bit more. read more

I went to Planet fitness to tan only. These are the best beds I have ever tanned in. The process is very streamline and simple. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone. Most of the employees are pleasant too!!! read more

The most friendliest and happy atmosphere staff! This facility is so nice, clean, and versatile with its machines. I couldn't be happier coming to this location. read more
