If you are a beginner or amateur living in the area looking for a place to exercise, look no further. This is the ideal beginners’ gym. Probably the cleanest gym I’ve ever been in, and CERTAINLY the best staff I’ve encountered (shoutout to Dale and Charisse— thank you again for your help today). That said, I was somewhat disappointed with the lack of weight equipment. The dumbbells only go up to 70lbs; there’s no squat rack; no straight bars for benching/squatting/deadlift/Olympic lifts. No squat rack. I understand this may be a liability issue as well as an intentional marketing decision by management to cater to beginners and amateurs. In my humble opinion, if you exercise with machines, you get stronger to lift with machines. If you exercise with free weights, you get stronger for life. For example, if you squat on a smith machine, you don’t have to worry about balance— which is a good thing if you’re a beginner. However, it’s far from ideal if you are a little more experienced. I would’ve joined on the spot today had there been a little more advanced setup in the weight area. Regardless, I will consider joining because the staff seemed genuinely interested in hearing my qualms about the lack of intermediate equipment.

Right now the gym itself is fine. I like the fact the cardio and weight section are on two different floors and if you go early enough in the morning you won't be fighting over machines. However, I was accidentally signed up for 3 memberships when I first joined. I don't know how, but I was charged the $50 joining fee 3 times as well. Staff assured me I would be refunded for the other 2 as soon as possible, but they never pick up the phone and last time I went in the employee told me his manager would make sure to deal with it when she got in and I have heard nothing yet. It's been over a week now and I have to go in in-person (during this managers working hours) and make sure this is corrected. If I get a refund I will update my review, but right now this is a little ridiculous. Edit 7/19 - Was refunded my money towards the beginning of this month, I just forgot to update this. Took about a month in total from the time the charge went through to get my money back. Overall it wasn't a huge deal for me but I'm sure not everyone would be so ok with that. Besides that the gym is what you'd expect and the people who work there have been nothing but nice, just a little slow when it comes to the backend.

More like 4.5ish stars. The staff here is always super kind and accommodating. The atmosphere in the weight room is pretty awkward if you’re a woman, but that’s not really planet fitness’ fault. Probably every gym… They’ve got the equipment you need and it is relatively clean. It does smell pretty bad here, but it’s also a gym so this is semi expected. They could refill the hand sanitizer more often. Ultimately, I can’t really imagine paying for a fancy gym membership given this gets the job done. It’s a place to work out and has an overall positive, unpretentious atmosphere that I prefer. The hydro massage machine is underrated. I felt awkward asking the staff to turn it on, but they were cool about it and it did release a lot of tension in my upper back. I like this gym!

I don't recommend women come here. On several occasions now men have harassed me here. I eventually started working out in this corner because it's far removed from people and I thought that meant I wouldn't have that problem. But today a man came over and stood right in front of me to laugh at me and yell "faster" as I did my pushups. Plenty of people walked past and no one stopped him. Long story short, in my experience it's not a comfortable environment for women. I plan to move to another gym because unfortunately gyms that aren't a "no judgement zone" seem to be safer and more respectful.

Good fun for the price. You have to deal with the same stuff as all Planet Fitness gyms (guys with speakers playing their own music, lunks throwing weights, broken equipment) but the staff is friendly and welcoming, the place is pretty clean, and they participate in the Exercise Rewards program where you get cash back through insurance providers. Note: independently owned and operated, so you can’t transfer to/from this gym, they have much shorter hours (7am-7pm not 24hr), no pizza or bagel days, no tootsie rolls, etc.

I'd say the best time to be there but then most would do their best to do it. Suffice it to say it's always clean throughout, the staff greets you warmly, the music Playlist is fantastic and the other gym goers all know one another and do not hog machines. I am in and out in under 50 minutes working whole body wrapping up with a 1/3 mile 3 minute run on an Inclined treadmill. As a carnivore with 5.3% body fat I endorse this location.

Started out clean, now it’s getting a little smelly. Downstairs is a little too warm and cramped. I go almost everyday and each time there is at least one dude barely exercising while on a loud FaceTime call or speaker-phone call. Very annoying when you’re trying to stay focused. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Wish they would just clean more regularly and enforce the no phone calls rule. Thanks though, it’s a good cheap neighborhood gym option.

I USE TO BE A SKEPTIC OF THE PLANET FITNESS FRANCHISE BECAUSE I WAS USE TO SOME HARDCORE GYMS . I WILL NOW ADMIT THAT PLANET FITNESS AND ITS OUTLETS HAVE ESTABLISHED A PHENOMENALLY AWESOME WORK OUT ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS! I ONE DAY WILL LIKE TO INVEST IN MY OWN BRANCH OF PLANET FITNESS! I TRULY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT PLANET FITNESS IS A HUGE POSITIVE COMMODITY FOR ALL LOCAL COMMUNITIES. Peace

Going to the gym is not just about physical health - it is mental health as well. What is playing on the screens is not appropriate. It is actually counter productive. Whether it is the news or starving black African people - it is not the market for Bedstuy. I workout and block out the news because it is too much. You can have more wellness and human interest stories playing. Means a world of a difference.

1 out of 2 people at this gym doesn’t wear the mask over their nose. Gym employee are unable to enforce rules! I had to reach out to the manager or attendants every time i went there. People pull the mask up until the attendant walks away. My email to Managment remains unanswered. In short there is no serious effort made to insure wearing the mask properly. I will not be returning to this gym.

Planet Fitness was an absolute blast! The gym was clean, the equipment was top-notch, and the staff was super friendly. I was able to get in a great workout without any distractions or interruptions. The atmosphere was so positive and welcoming, it really made me feel at ease. Overall, I would definitely recommend Planet Fitness to anyone looking for a great gym experience.

Staff was nice. Place is clean. Love how spacious the locker rooms are. Looking forward to their classes, pe@pf! Great motivation posted throughout gym. Series of TVs on different channels, they we a great distraction (helped take my mind off the pain my body was in so I could finish all my sets!)

This my 1st time joining a gym and at first it can be intimidating for someone new. But once u get in your own zone and sweat out your problems you'll be fine and realize everyone is in their own zone as well... Nobody is judging you...Have fun

I enjoy planet fitness the upkeep is good they keep it clean. I just don’t like the paper towel dispenser they always get jammed and this can be annoying. I wish they would get better ones that can keep up with the demand of people using them.

Easily the worst planet fitness I've ever been to and one of the all time worst overall gyms. Nobody re racks theirs weights and apparently the employees don't care cause I've never seen one pick one up to put it back. So many machines that

Gym can be a bit more tended to in regards to overall cleanliness and Covid 19. Often the paper towel dispensers and disinfectant bottles are empty and you have to constantly ask the staff to address. There are times when I will leave the

This company is a scam. The low monthly fee is great until you realize how unreasonably difficult it is to cancel your membership -- you either have to do it in person (at your home club only, not any location, so if you're out of town

This particular planet fitness has started to improve, at least in terms of customer service, I can only hope this trend continues. Update: Customer service is still getting better. However, they are a bit slow on repairs.

The equipment there is very useful. Other gyms I been to don't have certain things but this one has everything. But it doesn't show how many sets you did like the other place I been. But I enjoy it.

Ever since reopening after the Covid-19 shutdown. The gym hasn't been packed like u would have expected. Definitely getting in some great workouts without having to wait for machines.

Not crowded, fully equipped, relatively clean and even has hair dryers which is becoming pretty rear on Planets network. Parking is hard but it's downtown Brooklyn, right?

Convenient, spacious, usually clean. They have at least two of most of the machines they have available. I would recommend this gym to a friend.

Great experience, still a bit sore but massage chair, beauty machine, and water bed was very helpful; looking into alternative options to soak.

The place is great but the guys on the register are unhelpful. I called them many time to solve my issue but they were careless .

The best gym I've ever been to, good workout machines, very complete and with a fantastic team of trainers. Gandhi is amazing!

Not a big fan of the gym layout but otherwise its clean and friendly staff that tend to greet and say goodbye

You couldn’t have sent an email saying that you were closed because of the weather?

Small but uselful and the staff is friendly. Good vibes and good music!

Great experience lots of cardio equipment... had a good workout.
