    Overall this Gold's location does what it was designed to do- cater to UT Health San Antonio…read morestudents, staff, and affiliates. My only complaint pertains to maintenance of cardio equipment. This location was petitioned for by students of UT Health several years ago. The petition stipulated that future students would buy into the gym's construction by contributing a portion of tuition fees to pay off the gym and assumed that gym patrons would mostly be students and affiliates of the university. If you are an affiliate of UT Health, you will have zero need to complain or compete over parking at this Gold's location because you already have access to campus and facilities parking. This will sound unkind to say, but if you are not an affiliate of UT Health in some fashion, this really is not the Gold's location for you. It won't be the easiest location to travel to and may not have all of the features you desire such as a full day of group class offerings. If you are a steroid injecting competitive body builder that wishes to throw weights around the floor and reserve and entire area of machines for yourself at once, this place is not equipped to meet your needs. Everything from parking, to equipment selection, to hours of operation and class offerings, to locker rooms were designed to cater to the medical student or professional who wishes to maintain a no-frills exercise routine before/after work or during breaks throughout the 24 hour day. The locker rooms are spacious, clean, and exceptionally well stocked making it perfect to squeeze in a workout before getting cleaned up and dressed to work a full day in the hospital or clinic. The facility even has sleeping rooms you may reserve for taking naps. "No-frills workout" is a keyword in my review here, however the gym more than adequately meets the needs for exactly what it was designed to do: make it easy for medical center students and professionals to come get a workout and get back to work. I've been happy to have had gym membership through my affiliation with UT Health, and this gym is considerably better at meeting my needs (enabling me to workout around my schedule at a convenient location) than the student gym did when I was at a 4-year university. My only complaint is that over the course of my 5 year frequenting this location the cardio equipment upstairs seems to have undergone zero maintenance or repair. It has become increasingly bothersome to be preparing for a workout while wondering what the competition is going to be like to access an elliptical that has all of its functions still intact (adjustable resistance, crossramp, working buttons, working TV screen that picks up all channels and working sound, moving handlebars for arm workout). I can live with one machine being broken down while waiting for repair, but it should be a given that all machines are equally well maintained and functioning. It shouldn't be stressful to scramble for a fully functioning machine and as a customer I shouldn't have to purposefully schedule my workouts during off times in order to increase my chances of accessing a well working machine. Some information from management on the cardio machines' maintenance or replacement schedule would be helpful and appreciated.

    It's great they still have pool and hot tub open. They also have towel service. Also good size gymread more

    I wanted to love this gym but I just can't. They have Fees FOR EVERYTHING. My card got stolen and…read morehad to put a new card on file, they charged me $60 for a "renewal fee". Cancelation fee of $25. No gyms charge a cancellation fee so that's absurd. They're restrooms are ALWAYS filthy They claim to be 24/7 but have recently changed that and are now 6am-10pm. The reason I joined was so I could workout at 5am since that's the only time that works with my schedule, just inconvenient. Smh.

    The only helpful person in this gym is the owner. Unfortunately she is hard to reach and never…read morethere (at least when I would attempt to connect with her). All I have to say is it took me more than 5 phone calls/ plus showing up to gym multiple times to finally get to owner. All her staff (who are the owners friends) are rude and will give u dirty looks. I canceled my membership bc owners employee aka friend decided to take away my friends membership based off the past drama she had with my friend years ago (in HS) and my friend was 28 yrs old at the time of the revoking. In short--the owners employees (friends) are the business' downfall. Not sure why? They must hate on their friends success. I could never be unprofessional, especially if it's someone in my circle's business. FYI--since my review coincidentally there have been multiple 5 star reviews all of a sudden. Within the same timeframe (either 1 or 4 hrs ago). Dont be fooled guys. Make sure you deal with Jackie for any needs!

    I i'm not a big fan of this establishment to begin with, but I understand why people get…read morememberships here to planet fitness is in general because they're cheap and because they have a tanning and the massage stuff so I guess it's a good value if you're looking just for a place to go to cardio and lift a couple weights and then get a tan for me personally I don't like them and I'll I'll say why now in my opinion they're always too crowded even at two in the morning there's at least like 5 to 10 people mailing around using the equipment and I'm not really a crowd person especially Gym. I find that a lot of them aren't really that well-maintained, as far as the equipment like when I'm on the elliptical and I'm not that big of a person so they sure shouldn't happen if I'm on it but it'll on some of the ellipticals when you're on them they make like a like a screeching noise and that shouldn't happen like if they're oiled properly and I know that they don't happen another so it's only couple it's only in Planet Fitness I've noticed and also just the crowd that comes in that I've noticed it's a lot of people who like to socialize a lot more than they seem to be into the into their exercise and me personally, I don't go to the gym to socialize that go just to work out so I get kind of frustrated when there's people like that not working out because it's it's distracting when you're just trying to work out and leaveand there's people taking selfies and videotaping them self, and doing all kinds of social media and what not. So yeah, that and this particular gym gets pretty packed at the prime time, it's not a gym I'd chose to work out in.

    It has been a nightmare trying to get this membership cancelled for years now and everytime I…read moredecide to give myself the mental headache of going into the abyss of what is Planet Fitness, it just ruins my day. I'm pretty certain that's how they get you though. I opened up my account on November 19, 2014 at their 25 NE Loop 410 & McCullough location and my membership ID is 0258-502785. Well every now and then when I have the mental bandwidth I have tried to get this resolved especially now that I live in New Orleans. I've called the locations in New Orleans, simply get the runaround because I didn't open it up in town. I've called San Antonio locations and they've instructed me to go to the original location. Ummm how is that even possible when it's literally closed down. Don't even get me started everytime I try to call Planet Fitness so called cUsToMeR sErViCe 1-844 number. It's literally non-existent and a free elevator music playlist. I normally shrug off every time I see that $10 charge monthly because I've somewhat mentally accepted the lifetime woes that Planet Fitness is. After logging into my bank account though and seeing their annual $30ish charge, this has now reminded me how much of a money sucker this is. I'm really hoping I get contact from their team and this is forever removed and I'm no longer charged nor losing $150 bucks every year. But I'm over it and they really need to get it together.

It's exactly the vibe I look for in a gym: a classic, no bullsh**, weights clangin and bangin, full of people who are putting in genuine hard work. Immediately upon arrival a member helped us locate the owner, Roger, who got us set up with some day passes. That alone blew me away because out here, anyone would have just let us look around lost. I'm getting really bad with names but if she's reading this I want her to know she's so appreciated. Roger was also awesome. He checked in on us once we were settled, chatted with us about what we were doing in San Antonio, and gave us recommendations for surrounding neighborhoods (we were there to check out homes for potentially moving). I always appreciate gym owners who take the time to get to know the people working out with them. It gives you that level of connection you miss out on with commercial gyms. The gym itself is not your fancy commercial gym. It's the same gym it has been the whole time with classic machines, dumbbells, racks, etc. There's plenty of room for a decent amount of people to be there at the same time and still get a great workout in. I'm telling you, if you're in San Antonio, and you want a place where you can put in genuine hard word, go to Joe's. Coming to this gym was hands down one of the best parts of our trip to Texas and I am so excited to go back!
