Good starter gym I have thought long about this review as I knew this day would come when I would end my gym membership at PF. I have been a member for 18 months averaging 5 days a week pretty consistently. I have seen a high turnover in gym goers and staff during this time, I guess now I am part of that. I am leaving PF to attend another gym to have more variety in my training specifically barbells, heavier DB’s and other pieces of cardio equip. PF helped in establishing the habit of consistent training and I have personally seen a drastic improvement in my personal life. So below are my top 3 pro’s & con’s of PF Pembina (in no particular order) from someone who’s been there regularly. Pro’s 1 - very low monthly cost 2 - generally pretty clean change rooms/ washrooms 3 - everyone keeps to themselves and 100% no judgment gym Con’s 1 - if you don’t train on machines it’s very limiting. My big reason for leaving! 2 - staff does a good job of cleaning equipment but stand far away to spray cleaner resulting in overspray. I have been sprayed accidentally more than once (harmless but still). 3 - when something breaks (gym equipment, washroom accessories, building infrastructure) it takes a long time to fix…. hand dryer in men’s washroom took 4 months, smith machine a few weeks, rower foot cradle a few weeks, hanger for fitness mats still not fixed, you get the idea. It’s hard to complain when your only paying $10.50 a month… Overall I would recommend this gym to any new gym goer in order to establish the habit of going to the gym with a low financial burden.

If you’re a visible minority who might encounter a bad experience, please do not rely on Planet Fitness to care when it happens at their gym. I was discriminated against by another member at this specific location. The staff has his name, his picture, his information. As a Muslim woman who wears hijab, I take this very seriously. After countless emails, requesting phone calls that I never received, telling them I was not feeling safe with the member still being allowed there. Planet Fitness’s best effort was to let me know that IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN then they will ban the member. So they wanted me to experience it again, before they can actually do something about it. I was able to speak up and stand up for myself but that did not lead anywhere with management. And don’t ask me to contact you Planet Fitness because I have and you didn’t do anything except tell me how bad this racist felt. You did not stand up for me and made me realize it’s time to do better and choose better. My family and I cancelled our memberships too and I instead of you going through what I did, do not jeopardize your integrity or safety and consider a gym that will respect you and understand the importance of safety for women and for visible minorities. My coworkers and community members are hearing about this and will continue to. What a disgrace.

Extremely friendly and motivating staff! They are very helpful and always willing to explain or fix any problems! The facility is extremely clean, and you will constantly see staff cleaning the facility which is very rare at most gyms that I’ve been to! I was blown away with the amazing machines, all of the complimentary amenities, the cleanliness of the facility and the friendliness of the staff- they even have my 59 year old mom hooked on the place, which amazes me because she was always hesistant to join a gym! Compared to the cost and uncleanliness of shapes gym which I was previously a member of, planet fitness is a breath of fresh air (literally)! Planet fitness welcomes both an experienced gym goer like myself and individuals newer to the idea of working out like my mom, I am very impressed and excited to have this new gym in Winnipeg! Can’t wait until they expand and build in other parts of the city so that I can also recommend friends!

Very friendly atmosphere, I am greeted promptly every time I walk through the door. There's a fantastic selection of equipment here, both for cardio and weights, as well as several rooms off of the main hall specialized for quick workouts or stretching. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable when discussing the different membership offers available, and didn't pressure me as much as expected to get the most expensive one available. I would give it a full five stars, however since joining, I have seen staff giving guided tours to new/prospective members, which is something I was not offered at the time I signed up. This may have simply been because there was no time, but it has slowed down my activity somewhat, as I am still figuring things out. Make sure to ask for the tour if you're unsure

How can I choose what I like best when there is so much to appreciate? The monthly price is amazing and I'm not stuck in a contract. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I always see the staff cleaning and sanitizing, making me feel that much more comfortable with covid. The gym is spacious for everyone to spread out and keep distance. I think my favourite part is the "non-judgement zone" room that is tucked in the back. It helps me get myself to the gym knowing I can hide away and workout more privately. A plus to my experience is the locker room...I was worried I wouldn't be able to squish all my stuff in the lockers but they are surprisingly deep and can fit my winter stuff and a couple of my bags! I don't have to stress about what I can and cannot take with me.

I love the price - I can come and work out because I want to - not because I feel guilty about wasting $60/month on a membership and feel obligated to show up. I'm glad you don't have many classes - most places charge a large monthly fee that includes mostly classes I'm physically unable to do, and I'm not excited about paying for classes that I can't take.It's very close to home and the equipment I want to use is usually available right away and there's a good variety of equipment. The staff are friendly and helpful and I love the no-judgement atmosphere - it makes me feel like I don't have to be embarrassed about my age or less than ideal size or fitness level. I love (and need) the hydromassage beds. I'm not sure why you need so many tanning booths/beds.

Have had mostly good experiences but since Covid, struggling to get into the gym! I’ve gone twice now- as soon as it opened and later in the evening. Both times they were turning people away. I suggest PF takes bookings because who wants to wait outside in a lineup around the building? And what’s worse is who wants to pay for something they can’t utilize? Not me. Will likely cancel my membership if this continues Another downfall is people aren’t diligent with wiping equipment.... wouldn't hurt to have staff keep members accountable or see the staff themselves clean a little more. I mentioned this to an attendant and they said staff were complaining the cleaning regimen was too frequent so they had to scale it back ‍♀️

The good: The layout is pretty good. Staff are usually friendly. The price is unbeatable. And there's always cardio machines available. The bad: The ratio of cardio to free weights is very poorly balanced at this location. There is ALWAYS an excess of people utilizing the free weight area. It's crowded and hazardous. While the cardio area is never above 50% max usage & the "PF360" area is never utilized. There are no heavy free weights, squat racks or bench press racks. There also seems to be an inordinate amount of people who don't know about this great new product called deodorant.... The floors are always dirty and sandy. The lockers are typically dirty and wet from winter boots. They are not cleaned daily.

Great place to workout. The only issue that I personally felt is you gotta rely on smith machines for bench press, deadlifts & squats since they don’t have free bar for lifts or a free weight squat racks which is disappointing. And I think performing these compound movements on smith machine restricts your natural movement and kinda force your body to adopt an unnatural motion which eventually leads to lower back pains & injuries. My only suggestion is to replace atleast 2 smith machines with 2 free weight lifting racks instead of having 4 smiths. Other than this the gym is perfect. Staffs are friendly, helpful.

So far I'm not happy since joining a few months ago. They don't ever have staff patrolling and enforcing social distancing, patrons move freely between two or more machines at a time without wiping them down, I am constantly telling people to wipe machines and wear their masks properly and even in the circuit area where people are to be using the machines in a rotation, people just park in there with weights and take up the space that is supposed to be left to ensure distancing. Not sure what to do. I've talked to staff and it's still just the same thing every time I'm here.

My personal experience with Planet Fitness is very poor. However, gym equipped with latest exercise machine but few staff are very helpful rest staff even don't wanna take your suggestion also. Ironically, right now in pandemic they don't have any system like we can book our exercise slot and ready to go but if you wanna go to gym then you need to wait in long queue which generally takes 20 to 30mins no matter how cold outside it is. Nobody care about that. I already suggest them to launch slot booking system but due to very poor management they work like rate race..

Staff of this gym are just amazing! They are friendly and supportive, super committed to the operation of the gym, cleaning and sanitizing EVERYTHING carefully all the time and over and over again all day long. But if you go early in the morning, you'll see the tremendous effort they put into safety of everyone, making sure they protect the gym from exposure to COVID-19. You can check crowd-meter on the app and go at a time that there are not too many people. Their machines are of a wide variety for all muscles and all sorts of cardio. Highly recommended!

Great environment with a friendly staff. Will go out of their way to assist you if they're not too busy. It gets very challenging to go workout when theres so many other people working out but if you can get passed that it's great. I would suggest they invest in some wallmounted scanners so members can skip the queue of people and just scan their card and get to work. It would also be nice to see a scanner mounted on the drink machine so you dont have to wait in line to pay for it. Overall, great gym. Just sucks when they get so busy.

Overall experience is nice. But, there is a major negligence in the sign in process of Black card member benefits. The employee at front desk DOES NOT ASK THE PROOF to see it the person signed in is a black card member or not. This leads to a problem that too many non black card member enter the VIP room. This has to be fixed or it's not fair for those like me paying 21.99 for a black card member. I tried to call in to explain the problem,but no answer at all. I would like to change this review once the problem is fully solved.

I was my daughters guest. First off the waiting in line to get in,why can't you book appt slots as thats what most gyms do. Also find the back room beside the 30 workout Alot of males are wearing the mask below there nose. It may happen in other area but thats the area i was in. I dont know anyone who likes to wears masks, but its part of our life right now. Should have more monitors making sure everyone follows the rules. Otherwise i found it very clean in the gym. Lots of various machines

"Planet Fitness in Winnipeg deserves a solid five stars! This gym is an excellent choice for anyone looking to get fit in a friendly and non-intimidating environment. The staff is always welcoming, and the facilities are clean and well-maintained. The equipment is plentiful, and there are plenty of options for all fitness levels. Plus, the 24/7 access is a huge bonus for those with busy schedules. I highly recommend Planet Fitness for a positive and convenient fitness experience!"

Granted I went in the evening but definitely a busier gym so might be better going earlier in the day. However I was able to use all the equipment that I need to use and everything seemed to be in clean and working order. Also the bathrooms are clean and the showers were in great shape too. It was actually nice to have a shower with two different shower heads in a gym! Never seen that before so would visit again just based off that alone!

I have now tried/been a member of every gym in Winnipeg and by far this is my favourite for many different reasons. 1.The quickest/smoothest sign up. 2. Variety of machines 3. This place is spotless 4. The environment is actually judge free as they advertise so not intimidating for first time goers 5. The price is only $10 or $20 a month!! Can’t beat that!! -Hope they open up more locations because this is the best gym in the city

Pros: It's the cheapest gym chain in the city at $15 a month, and they have plenty of cardio machines. Cons: Extremely crowded at all times due to the low membership price, there is not many free weights, barely any dumbbells, not much space, and you can't squat/bench/deadlift which sucks. In my opinion it's an ok gym but not worth it unless you only do cardio. Your better off paying more for another gym if you can afford it.

Lots of cardio equipment if that's your thing! Great for those intimidated by standard "beef head" gyms a lot of rooms with variety of equipment and circuit training etc. The black card is a great idea, use the hydro massage beds. Only max 10 minutes usage time however, during peak periods it does get quite busy. At this very affordable price point you can have a gym membership and not feel guilty if you don't go!

Planet Fitness is the only reason I want to go to a gym. We live outside of the city and debated closer gyms but they don't have an undeniable price, extensive collection of easy to use machines, circuit room, HGTV playing 24/5, hydro massage and the cleanest facilities I have ever seen. Planet fitness just destroys all my previous reasons for not going to the gym and goes above and beyond what I would expect.

Easy no-fuss scanner for signing in. I work out at 10:30 am when the traffic is less. Ample variety of machines. Fairly smooth transition from machine to machine with almost no wait times. This is a plus for me as I like to move quickly from exercise to exercise. I do see a need for more stand-alone flat benches as they are almost always in use so I rarely get to use one when my routine calls for one.

This gym has great affordable pricing for membership 10.99 for basic. It is a great place to work out for ALL people. They have great classes as well. VIP membership is a great perks hydro massage, massage chairs, tanning, total body enhancement, bring a friend for free anyone anytime and more all for only 21.99 per month. Clean, fairly quick with repairs, excellent encouraging staff and no gym shame!

I have been attending the facility since it opened. The staff are very helpful. During this rough time I feel sorry for the staff. Most members of Planet Fitness are 18 and older. Why do they have to buck the system by not wearing their masks when it is mandatory . The staff is not a baby sitting agency. Just keep not wearing your masks, then they will shut the gym down, then what are you going to do

Was using the total body enhancement machine consecutively for the last 7 days after my work out. Came to this location worked out and now i have to go all the way to use the o use the machine i pay for access to. He also had no idea when it would be fixed so i guess this is no longer my home gym. Maybe ill sign up at fit for less instead since its closer to my home in st vital.

This gym is good in terms of equipment, however it baffles me that a gym of such stature (judging by equipment,they are definitely well funded)how do they not have free weights,like how's one supposed to lose weight/gain muscle without any free weights??also why do the dumbbells only go to 75lbs?? definitely would never recommend this to anyone whose serious about fitness

Great facility and equipment, even tho there are not many free weights. The equipment is new and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. The best catch is their low membership cost and no yearly commitment unlike other gyms. You can cancel anytime. The upgraded Black card members can enjoy access to massaging chairs, tanning beds etc. Enough parking space available too.

It has the big open space set with variety of good equipment uses and selections that its a good place to loose weight with some equipment kb targeted limb parts of your body to help the muscle knots off your body and using the spa area for black card members only so it's a good place to have both muscle gained and relieves muscle pain and massages to help that all out

Everything about this gym has been exceptional I Love the equipment and hours (open 24 hours when it had these hours), everything about it is easy and modern except their cancellation policy. It requires you to snail mail a letter or come in person to sign and cancel. We are in the middle of a pandemic. This process should really be zero contact by now

The recent time change is very disappointing. I was not informed of it through email and ended up going to the gym when it was closed. Staff at this location needs to do a better job of communicating changes like this with its customers. Cleanliness is starting to become an issue. I never see staff thoroughly cleaning equipment like I used to.

Its a nice and clean gym. Good environment. First day I face little bit problem on my phone to log in. I asked an employee name Gourish for help. He was amazing. He helped me to solve that problem. When ever I face any problem he is there to help. For all this I like planet fitness in pembina. Very friendly environment along with employees.

I like almost everything about Planet Fitness. The only thing I would really appreciate is if they would enforce the rules in the 30 min circuit workout room. When others are in there not using the room what it is meant for, it's hugely disruptive to the flow of my workout routine which makes my workouts less beneficial and/enjoyable.

Great place to workout. Been a member from year always have a great session. Staff is awesome, always ready to help and maintain a tidy gym. In particular Gourish, a staff member always been polite and respectful with great enthusiasm to contribute in every possible ways. Pretty observant so kudos to that guy…! …

Low prices topped with friendly staff and clean facility. However they have too frequent cleaning procedures which intrude people from working out. I suggest cleaning at night since it is open 24/7 and so not a lot people get intruded upon. They also offer classes and have pizza Monday and bagel Tuesday. Solid place

I haven't signed up for a membership yet but it is on my to-do list! I had a tour and the gym is well stocked, well lit and they really care about their customers. The cost is extremely reasonable for all the perks you get (tanning, massage beds/chairs, classes). Definitely would recommend!

I've been going since it opened. It's always clean and the staff are friendly. My only big complaint is that the women's showers are not very warm. I have to shower fast some days so I can get out and warm up. Update: they have fixed the water temperature. It's always nice and warm now

Best gym I have been to in so many years. Very friendly staff. Huge space for work out, cleaning station every few Meters. Large selection of equipments. As a Black card member can get awesome spa services & can have a guest all the time who is gym buddy to keep me motivated.

Great new gym! The staff is great and the equipment is better than the other gyms I've been to. Also, if you have time to catch a class, Jocelyn is fantastic! Energetic and motivating! They're only 30min so you can just do a quick class or double up and do 2 in 60min.

One of the biggest reason its 2 star because they let a bunch of highschool kids with free membership and they just really lotering around with the machine while others that actually work out is waiting for forever lol. No hate for the kids but that is just too much

the price is unbeatable. ao ypur probably wondering is it quality. well the answer is yes it is a great gym with all the equipment you could need and ni judgement is spot in my only complaint is that its often busy. choose your schedule to avoid this it you need

Every thing in planet are perfect. There are enough machines, so you don’t need to be wait. There are perfect showers and lockers . All employees are nice and organized. They care about members health ,because always check people to make sure everyone use Mask.

My husband and I love coming to Planet Fitness Winnipeg South Pembina. We are always greeted warmly by the staff. April, Azhami, Nicholas, et al work very hard to keep the gym clean which is greatly appreciated. It's a real pleasure to work out here!! ❤️ …

It has the amenities that I need to do my daily workout. The idea of $15 a month is brilliant; it removes the guilt of paying for a program that you may not be able to go to. I mean, $15 is affordable to “waste” if you happened to fail to go for your exercise.

It's a fitness place where everyone mind their business, equipments are great and well labeled for intended purposes of persons, great place neat and clean. I recommend the place for anyone looking forward to starting ️‍♀️ ️‍♀️ ️‍♂️ …

Really nice. Only 10$ a month. Has multiple different machines, weights and other stuff. Included in the price it offers classes at certain times of the you can sign up for. Nice changing rooms with lots of lockers and also showers. Very fast wifi.

On my first vist i couldn't find any person working. Had to interrupt a members workout to ask them some basic questions, like were is the changrooms. Also if you lift heavy not a great choice of gyms. Limited heavy stuff to pick up and put down.

Affordable, extremely clean, no weird people or smells. I'm actually pleasantly surprised. I would recommend this gym to anyone, you are honestly getting the best value compared to any competitor and at literally half the price with more perks.

Great gym and staff. Not a fan of Fri 10pm and 7pm closures w the new schedule. No one seems to care about parking, the handicap spots are taken by ppl without the handicap sign, also no one seems to shovel the sidewalks in front of the door.

This place was kinda trashy today, we pay for the gym and water should be provided within a gym ?? the water was temporarily out of service and seemed out of their control nonetheless they should accommodate an alternative or notify via

Awful customer service. I canceled my account and still got billed for the annual fee even tho I didn't agree to sign up for another year. Tried speaking to the manager Seay at Pembina location to get a refund. Turns out my account was not

I have worked out at Shapes, Anytime and Goodlife and I must say Planet Fitness is the BEST out of any of the gyms I have tried. The staff are so nice, the facility is really clean. Is it a perfect gym? No, but what gym is? They don't have

Great gym for the regular person who is not grunting out some massive lifts in a stringer and pound water out of a 4l milk jug. Worth the extra monthly fee to be able to use any of their gyms and have access to the massage area and tanning

I always go here to enjoy my spare time for letting stress out, but this manager named Anna Srivisay (I asked her) was so rude. When I first met her, I just thought that she had a bad day. But, in the second time I met her, she was acting

They was trying to recover $40.95 Annual Membership fee that they requested but refuted because they didn't take down correct, accurate billing information on there end. Nowhere to talk to Member Services department on the Corporate side

Great place and the price is right! I pay $10.50/month (exact amount on my CC). There is an option to get a more expensive account, I think around $22ish/month. It gets you access to Massage chairs, Tanning beds, and other equipment plus

Best gym but 4 star for not able to use massage. Everyday i use gym at night time and staff doing there work like cleaning. They are also busy. Need to change the spa system. Member have there own access to use the massage area …

The staff at planet fitness is wonderful and so friendly. This is the first time i have never dreaded going to the gym. The tanning beds and massage chairs are just an added bonus. It is nice to have everything to readily available.

Super friendly staff. Tons of equipment. Very, very clean gym. I've gone to other gyms maybe a handful of times but felt very intimidated and out of place. I didn't feel that at Planet Fitness. It was very welcoming.

I like everything .... it has all the services & equipment I need .... don't mind paying extra for the black card to get the hydro massage & other stuff .... great price! affordable! & month-to-month membership!!

I love all planet fitness in Canada ,I travel ont-bc twice a month,and enjoy planet fitness in “brampton. Winnipeg,Regina ,Calgary,chilliwack “ Really extra ordinary “gym ,spa,showers “ Thanks to planet fitness

Washroom hand dryers are not working from decades. Every other day at least 2 out of 4 smith machines with a tag ‘Temporarily Unavailable’. Free weights are just for leg presses. Tons of Cardio. 2 stars for now

The only gym I have been too that I don't feel like I'm being judged. At other gums I find the staff are so judgmental and rude. Here the staff are friendly, lots of equipment, and it is truely "judgment free"

Great gym great price. New equipment and nice staff. The only issue is with the shower. I just wash the water in lady’s shower could be stronger. A hot shower after workout make the experience more perfect :)

Great environment, feeling empowered and I can't wait to come back! Evening/nighttime staff (men) seem a bit unfriendly and rude... Other than that, this is the best gym experience I've had so far!

Great gym. Needs some mats. Larger free weight bars so you don't need to use a machine. Drop a bit of the cardio equipment to free up some space in the free weight/machine area. Easily congested.

Unmatched price point for services. Facility is cleaned all the time. Staff is friendly and it feels like a place where you are welcomed. Best value for money in the fitness industry in Winnipeg.

Great place, has all the equipments you need and super affordable with no commitment. Don’t expect a trainer to be available all the time. And you have to have your own device for entertainment!

It does what it's marketed for but I'm not a fan of the purple look and there are too many cardio machines that no one uses and not enough weightlifting machines (that people actually use).

Packed to the bone all the time(even during the odd hours). They always report on their app not busy but yeah. It's always busy from my experience. Probably because it's very cheap.

Super amazing staff and great environment. Very judgment free. Right now my dads training me but once I have a better hold on my work outs I will definitely be getting a membership

Great beginner gym to start out at if you're new to lifting. The price simply cannot be beat for what you get. Biggest con is people working out who don't have any deodorant on.

Super clean, great atmosphere. Love the black card spa/lounge. Only wish they had more Total Body Enhancement machines and hydro massage beds, because sometimes there's a wait.

Great place to workout, enough equipments, decent place and affordable. However I am not happy with new gym hours. One of the big reason why I joined PF is the 24 hrs deal

Me and my boys always be hitting this gym crazyyy!! Staff are super friendly and supportive! Definitely recommend this planet fitness as an affordable choice in the area!

After being a member at the Pembina location for 2 months, here is what I have learned; The no shame, no judgment, no "string muscle shirt and 4L water jug", and equal

I have started working out in a gym after a long break. Thank to Planet Fitness, I am finally getting back in shape. This is a clean gym and staff is very friendly.

Great team, always polite and ready to help with a smile.Great space, always well maintained.Great equipment. No frills! Can't really think of anything critical!

I like this location a lot always helpful staff and always a clean gym love working out really good prices and I stay near the place so I love the short drive

Hello. The hall has everything you need for sports and relaxation (spa area). The staff at the reception are always friendly and welcoming. Thank you.

I like the prices compera to other fitness that is why we can give discount whenever planet fitness order food from us ( Afghan number one food)

The showers are absolutely filthy between 7pm - 9pm weekdays. I see no one cleaning them during in the these hours even though it is peak hours.

No surspetion. Clear and wide space. Kind staffs, well-made machines. Everything fits my image. Would continue be their member in the future.

Gurveer was super kind and welcoming! Helped me with all my needs as if she was my bestfriend, she is an amazing employee! Needs a raise!

Conveniently located and open 24/7. Planet Fitness has all the equipment I need to reach my goals. It's also the most affordable choice.

Good facilities to get fit. Ample space for parking. Good value gained for the cost of using the facility. Not a bad deal if you ask me.

I literally set up a membership there in less than 20 mins. And the staff person paid complete attention to me while doing so.

Very clean, lots of equipment and convenient hours. Lots of parking and easy to get in and out of this parking lot.

Best value for your $. When I signed up here I regreted paying the overpriced Goodlife for so long.

I will gladly recommend planet fitness, the environment is peaceful, well equipped and very clean.

Friendly and welcoming staff with lots of different equipments and also quick access with PF app

Clean, supportive atmosphere, sometimes a little crowdy. No free weight barbells unfortunately.

They dont fix the machines at all i seen that same machine there for weeks with that problem.

PF is a good place to go for exercise. Excellent service. Awesome place to get d work done.

Nice staff, never any issues other than the occasional weirdos and high schoolers

Was able to get in an upper body workout with some cardio. Staff were friendly.

Great place to workout. Many types of equipment available and not that busy

Best gym near to pembina highway And very affordable

Great place to work out. The staff are excellent

A solid gym for a casual fitness guy like me

Well-equipped with very clean washrooms
