Clean, fairly new equipment. Good options for just about all muscle groups. Would like to see some more free weights, but understand the limitations with space. Clean, newer locker rooms too. Not much into tanning, but did use the hydro massage and enjoyed the rub down...not necessary tho for me as part of the work out routine. All in all, a good gym experience!

Overall it’s not bad but the machines can use a upgrade. They didn’t even have the triceps machine. The reason for 3 stars is for the coworkers that wanted to stand behind the desk and talk instead of helping me. Instead of showing me a machine I asked for you just point like I’m supposed to know what your talking about…. Also, no music was playing. Glad I brought my headphones.

Great location with excellent staff and equipment setup!!! The fact that this location is walking distance from where I deliver, adding much needed cardio, is a plus!!!

Great gym for the price.I’m editing this review to take away a star. Now there is a legal mandate for masking and this business has even printed out the regulation and taped it to the door. However maybe 50% of customers are wearing and no one is enforcing this regulation even though it claims compliance. I will likely suspend my membership until infection rates in Wake County decreases if lack of enforcement for this critical safety measure continues.

As a former gym manager myself, I appreciate seeing the staff actively cleaning the equipment. This is definitely one of the reasons why I joined a Planet Fitness to begin with. Also the air temperature was super comfortable as this weeks outside air temperature was 90+ everyday.

Ease of membership sign up, cleanliness of facility and availability of equipment. Also the No Lunks attitude . . . very refreshing. No intimidation is very helpful to promote diversity. Also like the clean stations are very convenient locations. The hydromassage beds are also a total bonus! Looking forward to checking out the fitness classes this week!

I like this location due to how uncrowded it feels. I live closer to another planet fitness but this is the one my daughters prefer to come with me to, when we come together. They like the way the treadmills are not in front of a lot of other equipment.

I absolutely love the cleanness of the place. Never have wait to use the equipment. Everyone clean the equipment after each use. And... they offer entertainment as well.

I have worked out at this gym a few times because its close to my girlfriends house. The gym is really clean I must admit and the equipment is in pretty good condition but my main issue The constant harassment from the employees about a mask. I myself as well as other members Ive seen there will lower their mask to breathe or take a sip of water or Gatorade and the moment they do that here comes a planet fitness employee badgering them about keeping their mask up. From my own experience I had a planet fitness employee stand by the elliptical I was working out on. My face sweaty and my mask began to slip slightly. I put my head down to allow the sweat to drip on the floor and not the machine. I saw out of my peripheral vision someone standing there but I didnt pay it any mind because I thought it was another member waiting to use a machine. After about 3 or 4 minutes I was done with my workout and the moment I look up it was planet fitness employee standing there the whole time waiting for me to finish so she could tell me to pull my mask up and it hadnt slipped completely off my face just down my nose slightly. The other planet fitness do the same thing. While I understand youre trying to enforce a rule lets be reasonable here. Do you really expect someone to workout with a mask on the entire time? People are going to drop the mask briefly even if its just to breathe because exercising with a mask on is very unhealthy. Youre just breathing in the same air you exhaled. If they are that paranoid about mask then shut the damn gyms down again. While planet fitness is the cheapest option for a gym I have been to other gyms that do enforce mask usually upon entry and exit of the facility and members just social distance while in the gym. That actually works and members wouldnt mind working out there. I noticed in my time at this location the regulars I usually see I dont see anymore and when I see them at the store or mall they say they canceled their membership because of the constant harassment about masks from employees and Im about to follow suit myself.

Review №15

NEVER ABLE TO GET ON A WEIGHT BENCH OR SMITH MACHINE. Planet Fitness needs to look at what their patrons want and mix up the available equipment to match. I’ve come at all different times of the day and MAYBE one out of 10 times have I been able to get a weight bench or a smith. I change up my workouts CONSTANTLY accommodate THEIR lack of equipment. I’ve been coming here due to the location...it was convenient for me to go before work, but now that more people are using this location due to another area gym closing, it’s been more of a frustration than anything.*****Reply to PF regarding contacting the club manager: I spoke with him yesterday and he informed me that “Planet Fitness Headquarters” was who decides what equipment the gyms have and that individual gyms can only request changes or upgrades of the equipment every “x” number of years.

Only my second planet fitness Ive ever been to, but it was really nice. It was pretty packed when I was there around 330 or 4. They have a good array of machines, but were missing two I was looking for. The glute kick back machine and the lay down hamstring curl machine. However, they had a great selection, dont get the wrong impression. Its in a good location and parking is plenty. Its very clean and well kept. The staff greeted me when I came in and left and was nice. Good gym over all.

If you sign up for the black card (which is more expensive to begin with because you get “perks”) it costs $58 to cancel. So on top of spending top dollar for a membership with perks that I NEVER USED ONCE I had to spend $60 and spend hours on the phone trying to cancel this after moving away. When you call the number listed here it sends you to a generic planet fitness customer service line that DOES NOT know the protocol for this specific club. So they told me there would not be any more charges and to just send in a letter, which was completely wrong. There is no way to communicate directly with the club. They don’t care about their customers just about additional charges and policies written into the contract to gouge you and make it as hard as possible to cancel. I would never in my life consider a place like this. What a garbage company.

Started going back after they reopened. We go early, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. This is my child’s first time joining a gym and they are coming out of their shell crushing their goals. They have treadmill machines deactivated to enforce social distancing between them. Everyone cleans often, and there are no people who walk around without masks. A lot of us train with our masks on, even. I’m grateful they have the integrity they have so we can go out to a safe place and be active as a family

Review №36

They dont have a leg curl like every other planet fitness in the country does, instead they have a seated leg curl at the yellow section. They have 2 more seated leg curls at the purple section of the gym. Seriously we all know seated leg curls suck. My workout is not complete. They are making me consider to drop the black card subscription and go with 24 hour fitness. I left a note to the manager.A month after I left my review they still havent changed their seated leg curl.

Review №37

Was asked to get off a stationary bike because i was too close to another member(social distancincing sign was not on bike). I did not get off fast enough because I wanted to finish the last minute of my 5 minute warm up; then another member, behind me on a treadmill, screamed at me to HAVE SOME RESPECT and the GM standing there did nothing. Cancelled membership on the spot. They have limited freeweights anyways.TLDR. They allow members to berate each other.

Review №41

The facility itself is clean and offers a standard range of equipment. Planet Fitness as a brand does not offer freestanding squat racks, so be aware of that if you were hoping to get your leg day on 🚫🏋️‍♂️ They have tanning and massage chairs for members but no Total Body Enchantment like the other PF clubs. Also, this club lacks arm bikes and row benches, so theres no options for upper body cardio. 🚫💪 Some machines like overhead press they have too many of, while other similar machines like lateral raise they do not have any. It is a large club though, so there is plenty of space. 😃Joe, the manager, is kind and competent. The front desk staff are great and hard-working too.For a long time, they required members wear a mask while walking around but you could take it off when actively workout out. Now your mask must be worn at all times, even when on a treadmill. This can be very dangerous and unhealthy if your body doesnt receive adequate oxygen during aerobic exercise, inhibiting muscle function and risking passing out on a treadmill. ☠️ It is not their fault with the new governors orders but its something to be very careful of.

Review №44

The gym is fairly nice, but their cancellation policies are such a pain that they deserve the low rating. Having to go in person or mail a letter to cancel are insane and borderline a scam and just part of how they try to lock you into your membership. We’re in the 21st century but unable to cancel over the phone or internet. Either it’s taking advantage of their customers or just backwards technology policies on their part

Great employees and members! AWFUL corp suitsPPL that work here were great when this was my home club. Same goes for most members. Very clean. Usually more than enough equipment. would be 5 stars when including value, but the way corporate handled covid closings was AWFUL! Was charged for several months when it wasnt safe to use a gym AND given ridiculous lies and runaround when I asked why! They even called me accusing and trying to gather evidence against an employee for discussing internal data (which actually came from reddit. ridiculous) pretty sad, as i loved going PF, but I would rather spend my money where corporation isnt evil/greedy.

A truly predatory place; buyer beware, im not wasting time explaining the same thing as the other people already did regarding their making you jump through hoops to cancel, charging $58 cancellation fee during the pandemic; its sickening. Even after having to go to post office to send certified cancellation fee, they had the nerve to call me and try to talk me out of cancelling; can you read, due to covid im not able to use my membership! How dim are you; im sure your hoping i will continue to spend $10 a month for your useless services right?? And if i get a response from the owner I will go into more details outlining their deceptive, absurd practices!!!!!!!

Jon, at the Six Forks location was absolutely amazing upon my very first visit. He walked me through the entire gym, taking the time to explain every piece of equipment, despite having many customers up front and interrupting us during the orientation. I didnt even sign up for this orientation, but he did it anyway. He encouraged questions and feedback every step of the way. He wasnt remotely intimidating as I find a lot of gym pros to be. Thank you for the beautiful experience

The staff are always friendly and the equipment is clean and in working order. Lunchtime and the days immediately following New Years Day tend to be the busiest times, but eventually the New Years Resolutioners crowd thins. My rating is reflective of the business side of PF. You have to physically go into your home location to do most everything with your account.

Not nearly enough weight benches. Seriously, good luck trying to do some dumbbell exercises in the morning or after work. I see the same people hogging a bench (sometimes two) for themselves for over 20 minutes which means the rules aren’t being enforced.

Gym just open up for public on 9/1 and from its opening day, about 60% of the customers are not wearing masks in the gym (while they are not working out) and staff members are not monitoring or checking what people does or follow rules required to follow in the gym. Afraid to go there now.

Horrible membership plan. Purchased membership for my daughter. She never went. They wont let you cancel and they wouldnt let me transfer it to my other daughter who would have *loved* to go. Thus, had active membership being paid for a year with no one who wanted to go able to use it. Then, without advance warning, charged me the annual membership fee again and corporate refused to even refund that. Dont go unless youre committed to a full year. Watch out for annual fee for any membership not used. Id go somewhere else. Too many other options. Gym isnt that great.

They may as well install a circular lobby with lounge chairs.. in the middle of the workout area because people continually text on their cell phones while sitting on the machines between sets for 10 minutes at a time...... Other than that it would be a great gym... It could maybe be rectified by sending a couple of emails to the populace of the membership...

Best gym I have ever joined. The staff is AMAZING , no over exaggeration. You are always acknowledge and welcomed. Extremely clean facility and machines are always, ALWAYS in tact. Now 24hrs so it does free up machines more. Tanning beds are also very clean and there is always one available. They offer everything you need for tanning, along with gym bags, and tshirts to represent positivity and encouragement. If you happen to forget your water, they offer great bottled drinks from water to muscle milk. The hydro beds and massage chairs make for great relaxation after any intense workout or work day. You can not go wrong with this facility. Thank you planet fitness for all that you do!!

The equipment is all new, clean, and easy to adjust. This location is also not super busy all the time which means equipment is normally available when I need to use it.

Always been intimidated by gyms, but PF does fairly well, making sure they have what I need. I love the Six Forks location. Everyone there is super nice. But with all gyms, its packed and when I get off of work, and it is almost impossible to get a decent workout. Especially, if you are strength training. Its just gyms these days. I try to go in the early morning 3-4 am most days, but thats tough when you arent a great sleeper. Overall, PF is awesome. I just need to find a schedule that works for me. ✌️

Clean and friendly the few times I have visited this location. Although a bit older than a couple others in the area the staff works hard to maintain the equipment as well as work to keep the locker room and showers clean. Though I have not been during their peak times in the late afternoon, there is always plenty of treadmills,bikes, or weight machines to use. Have not had to wait to continue my work out.

Ive been going to this location for the last few months. The prices for the tiers are affordable and the amenities included are a definite bonus. Being just down the block from my apartment is even more beneficial; plenty of time to get out of my work clothes and get started (unless I just want to use the locker). Plenty of machines and free-weights that are easy to learn and use.The staff at this location are always friendly and helpful. They maintain the gym well and are always around if you need anything.You can work at your own pace and never feel pressured to work outside of your comfort zone by trainers or other patrons.I have joined in with the specialized classes. They are quite enjoyable. (If only they were more available to my time away from work during the week).As long as I live in Raleigh, you will see me at the Six Forks Planetfitness!
