Planet Fitness peeping tom!

Awful!
A peeping tom was arrested for video taping people getting changed! It was in all the papers!
I went to cancel my membership and the manager charged me a cancellation fee! I said you hired a peeping tom, I want my money back. She said sorry! A very nasty manager.
She should be fired along with the peeping tom.
Lookout, you might see yourself changing your clothes on YouTube!

Planet Fitness BEHAVIOR

I WENT IN DECEMBER 19, 2007 TO PLANET FITNESS TO SIGN FOR A MEMBER SHIP FOR MY DAUGHTER. SO ONE OF THE STAFF CAME TO HELP ME TO SIGN UP. WE SAT DOWN AND STARTED GOING THROUGH THE TYPE OF PLANES THAT THEY HAD AND THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE BLACK PLAN, SO I TOOK IT. THAT SAME DAY THE START UP FEE WAS $38.15, SO I PAYED FOR IT. BUT THEN THE STAFF LADY TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO HAVE A CHECKING ACOUNT BUT I DIDN'T HAVE MY CARD WITH ME. THE STAFF TOLD ME THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO CANCEL IT AND DO IT ALL OVER UNTIL I COME BACK NEXT TIME. AND SINCE I ALREADY GAVE THE MONEY SHE SAID SHE WOULD HOLD THE MONEY AND JUST GIVE MY THE RECEIT TO SHOW THAT I ALREDY PAYED FOR IT. BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT ABOUT HER, IT IS ABOUT THE MANAGER. I WENT TO PLANET FITNESS TODAY (DECEMBER 26,2007) AND I HAD TO SIT DOWN WITH THE STAFF SINCE I HAD TO SIGH FOR A NEW PLAIN. AFTER SHE FINISHED EVERY THING SHE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD PAY LESS MONEY THEN BEFORE. I SAID OK. I THEN ASKED HER FOR THE DIFFERENCE AND WHEN SHE CAME BACK SHE TOLD ME THAT THE MANAGER SAID NO. SO I WENT TO THE FRONT DESK TO TALK TO THE MANEGER TO DESCUSS ABOUT THE REST OF THE MONEY. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS WHEN I WAS TALKING TO HIM HE STARTED RASING HIS VOICE AND WAS MAKE BAD JOKES ABOUT ME ASKING ME IF I WANTED WATER TO REPLACE THE MONEY. I SAID NO. AND HE KEPT JOKING SAYING DIFFERENT JOKES ABOUT ME. I REALLY DIDN'T LIKE IT. I FELT REALLY INSULTED AND ALOT OF DISSRESPECT. AS A MANAGER INCHARGE OF A PLACE AND STAFF BEHIND HIM WATCHING, HE SHOULD SET A GOOD EXAMPLE TO SHOW HOW TO HANDLE A SITUATION LIKE THIS. AS A FIRST TIME CUSTUMER I EXSPECTED MORE THAN WHAT I GOT. ESPECIALLY FROM A MANAGER. AND I THINK THAT A PERSON ACTING LIKE THAT TO A CUSTUMER SHOULD NOT BE INCHARGE. I HOPE THAT YOU TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY IN CONSIDERATION.

THANK YOU

CARL CINEAS

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I had to quit Planet Fitness in Loudeville, NY because I moved. I mailed them the certified letter as asked and I received the receipt card showing that someone in the Planet Fitness Company had signed for the letter on Oct. 1, 2007. I called a few days later to check and make sure they would no longer be charging my card. Somehow I still got charged for...

Planet Fitness Rude staff and manager!

On 04/23/07 I enter the gym in the location about and I didn’t have my card. this is not he first time I didn’t have my card and was shocked when the guy at the counter (sean) told me “you need your card.” oh dear he tell a paying customer they need anything. I then told sean I need nothing. he then said “I will cancel your membership then.” upset and appalled I called you’re the general manger, and left my cell number for a call back. I was surprised that while sitting at my desk at work she called my office number and left the rudest tone message I have ever heard. I called her back and she (debra) informed me that my membership was canceled as if she was doing me a favor by having me. beware of rude staff and manager!

Tattered and torn ropes on equipment. I brought the faulty equipment to the attention of management. They assured me that new equipment parts were ordered and should arrive very soon. This has not happened. Still the same worn out equipment. NEED HELP RESOLVING THIS ISSUE.

The experience on the gym in Salem, Oregon is awful.

The mens showers don't work most of the time, even after been reported almost everyday. The inside temperature is too hot, they turn on the ventilation, making you sweat and uncomfortable. Also the staff is not friendly.

An Advertisement of being a “judgement free” zone yet having a sign that is judgmental?

“ LUNK ALARM

Lunk (lunk) n. [slang] one who grunts, drops weights or judges.

[Ricky is slamming his weights, wearing a body building tank top and drinking out of a gallon water jug... what a lunk]”

Bad business!

There are a limited amount of stairmills at the location I go to and one has been broken for about 2 weeks and has not been fixed. This results in waiting to use the machines and delays completion of workouts. I asked the desk person and they said they had to wait for the owner to do something,

I have been a member for many years, Recently the gym located in Hemet California installed new treadmills that are totally inappropriate for older members like myself. They are too high up and the rails do not extend for getting off the treadmill. This is age discrimination which is illegal.

I am a member of planet fitness on ww white in San Antonio, Texas. On a feedback I complained about the showers and changing rooms being constantly dirty. On Friday, August 18, I found the the area very dirty; I complained to the manager, and the next day, the showers were still dirty.

If you want to see how dirty they are, I can send photos.
