At the Planet Fitness on south Alpine, Rockford, IL. Today while working out two gentlemen took a place near me and turned on music that was not only rude, but obnoxious. it was played at extremely high volume I asked the attendant to handle this but he did nothing. I left early because music singing about drugs and whatever is very offensive. I believe it...

I am writing this complaint after my experience today at Planet Fitness. I am very upset that I had the employee named Cathy try to turn away my uncle who had an expired credit card and was told he was all set at another location. He has been inactive from the gym due to surgery and did not have clearance till today. I am a black card member, and it...

Planet Fitness planet fitness 6400 car,bch rd wilmington nc

I have been a member for 20 years.It has grown in membership to a capicity that is so crowed that you cant work out.

people will sit on a machine and play with their cell phones,and staff does not bother to explain the proper edicate half of the gym is taken up by cardio machines. some could be replaced with machines that are needed (pec,biep,tricep)

I will relocate if you dont try and fix this .The last two times i went there,I went home because of crowdness

I travel alot and go to other planet fitness and this by far the most crowded one with not enough equipment

thank you,CW3 Frankie Joye USArmy retired

We go to PF almost every morning before work and early on the weekends. We like PF a lot because they have multiple locations that are close to us. WE have been customers for many years and have never had a problem which is why we were so shocked by what happened at Stony Point Richmond VA, location on the morning of Jan 19 2024 around 8:30 - 9:00 am...

While using the 30 minute workout room. There are several customers that sit on the exercise machines and hold up other customers. When approached, many of the customers are very rude and disrespectful. Even when confronted by the staff. If a customer wants to be on their cell phone, they are not actively using the equipment, why should they be able to hold up other customers that are using the equipment for its purpose?

Planet Fitness Membership for a minor

For the last two summers, my granddaughter has been visiting us from another state. First summer she was 14 and used the free teen summer membership. Which was awesome! 2nd Summer she was using my visitor pass (15 yr. old, no teen summer membership) My granddaughter was earning money babysitting while she was here, and it looks like someone let her sign up for a membership.

She has been trying to cancel the membership since September, in her home state, with no luck. I went into the PF gym in our state, and they said that I can't cancel it unless I pay for the membership dues from September. ($130) Why should I pay for dues, when the gym did not obtain parental consent for membership.

Claimed loss: $90

Desired outcome: Cancel the membership for free, the gym signed up a minor for membership, without parental consent.

Planet Fitness 105 Kennings Rd, Crosby. Ph#[protected]

Planet takes my monthly fee for the black card bill out of my account every month. I have 80 dollars in rears. Marisa at the front counter refuses to allow me to use my membership privileges. I explained to her that I pay every month. Why am I being billed for the last 4 years for something that I am not allowed to use. This is turning into a civil lawsuit problem. The she told me that I am allowed to use the gym today. But until I pay the rears. I will not be allowed to use the gym. I am afraid to bring my wife. I don’t want to be embarrassed in front of my family. I pay for the service. It comes directly out of my bank account. Please speak with Marisa. Thank you. Enough is enough.

Claimed loss: $1,200 1 year of not being able to use my black card privileges. Overpaying for services. Stopping me from using the gym beginning today.

Desired outcome: I am a paying customer. All I want is to not get harassed going to the gym. Or embarrassed bringing my family with me.

The club was unable to process my request for downgrading my membership. I went in 6 times to do it. They first said computer update needed to be done, then it was my particular account that needed to be fixed. Staff member called me saying all was well and I should be able to downgrade. Just went in again on December 9, and staff was unable to complete my...

I am currently a military service member deployed overseas. I tried calling my home club to cancel and they refuse to unless I send a hand written letter, even after explaining my employment status.

Been a member for 5 years and started going there because it was 24 hours. Me and several other members have complained that the store is bot 24 hours. A lot of people work off hours and need that 24 service to get in the gym and workout. They claim it due to lack of clientele. Would like to see it go back since that’s what they advertised and that’s why me and other members used the 24 hour service

I joined planet fitness in Drexel Hill for the purpose of using massage chair and hydrotherapy bed for my daughter with Down Syndrome. In the past, the massage chairs were in a well lit area with big screen tv. On our first visit, we asked to use therapeutic equipment. In the past they hydromassage room was for one person with a door to close for...

Planet Fitness Membership fess and cancellation

This company as a whole does not care about the people they advertise for. All of the fine print to try to cancel an account is ridiculous. That 12 month commitment turns into 15 months before you realize it. Just found out today while trying to get it resolves that I could have cancelled for free but guess what I missed the deadline because I was never notified about this. So now ! have to pay the annual fee AGAIN even though I had already paid for the year I had been apart of. If I signed up for 1 year why the hell am I having to pay to cancel my account with you. Why am I having to pay ANOTHER annual fee when my year had already passed. There was no auto renew option that I had opted in for so how are you still getting my money. This company is the worst but man they are the best at bleeding their costumers dry with there shifty practices, fine print and purposefully with holding information.

Desired outcome: I want my account cancelled with no extra charges

Planet Fitness Health and Safety

To Whom It May Concern @ Planet fitness Hennopspark

It has been years of emails and phone calls, complaining to the manager about the aircon never working. Emails come back issue sorted( What is sorted?) We are in a heat wave and I can not afford to pass out in a gym ! We need to be cool, not passing out in a heat exhaustion.

The manager said to me that she is busy ordering more fans not fixing the aircon.

There is know 3 fans on the top floor for what to blow the hot air around, this is a health and safety risk. It is so hot there it is a breading ground for gems. It can not go on like this.

I have not been back to gym since last week I can not do this heat and nobody at Planet fitness is doing anything about the issue.

Desired outcome: FIX THE AIRCONS

I joined Planet Fitness as a BLACK CARD member a little over a year ago. I thought it nice to have the perks, especially tanning. I have been tanning in their beds and not once in one year have I seen any type of maintenance on this machines. The inside where the lights are, are filled with dust and goop, every single one of them. They emit very little...

Since it hard for me to describe people, I took a picture of him and told the girl working the desk, She said she knew who I was talking about. There are signs in the facility to only use...

But September payment was paid. I also stated if they can freeze the account because I can’t...
