Good Morning, Really hate doing this but, the Planet Fitness in my hometown is soooo hot. Even with a low count of people there. When asked the workers at the front desk about the AC working, was told they think there is something wrong with it. Really? They don't know. Is there anything that can be done? I understand that a lot of people working out in the...

She was very rude and acted like we were stupid. it's the older woman who works at the Arden planet fitness. I didn't figure out until a few days later she also put a note in the computer that says "no children allowed in club" in my account. The...

I go to the Planet fitness in Milton GA. I expect they only want political right wingers here as today, 6-11-23, 3 TV's today are on FOX, 2 on Newmax. I asked the young man if he could put MSNBC on for me but he said he doesn't know how to work the remote. I have been a member for a month. I have requested 5 times to have MSNBC added but it doesn't seem...

Planet Fitness No contract after 6 months

Midlands liberty mall... I joined pf as of 01dec2023... R99 for 6months black friday special. You can cancel after 6months free of charge as per message to me. Spoke to the pf representative faraaz in nov2022 (I still have the proof on my phone) so this contract ended 31may2023. As of 01june2023 I was charged r648 via d/o off my bank account. 05june2023 I phoned pf, spoke to the manager owen zuma who said that he could not help me. I can come collect a copy of the contract that was signed. Although faraaz mentioned free cancellation after 6months via msg, pf can't help me because that is not the deal. I will be charged r648 monthly going forward. If I want to cancel, I must give them 4months notice, and in the meantime, i'll be paying r648 for the next 4 months for nothing. This is so ridiculous that someone is not held accountable for this service. So anyone can work for and represent pf and lie to the public and the customer has to bear the brunt.

Mrs govender

Desired outcome: PF is able to assist me, as I cannot afford this R648 pm. I have proof of Faraaz's promises to me. I am the customer. I will be happy if they can help me with a less expensive alternative. DONT JUST SHUT ME DOWN

Planet Fitness Pride promotion

I was floored when I seen Pride materials at local PF. Why are you getting political, and about such a charged subject. I do not see promotions about Veteran suicide, Camp Hope, Christians, Veterans, etc. there are many more of these groups than being woke with pride. Many major companies have gone woke and are no longer in business. Without being rude I would say only idiots would blow off a majority of their customers by ruining their business for stock holders and franchise stores.

Desired outcome: Stop all political promotions or open it up for all

I'm sorry I don't have exact dates of the concern but an estimate is 3-4 weeks ago from today I asked the manager at my gym in Castle Rock, CO if she could obtain a piece of equipment for the gym because the previous Planet Fitness I belonged to at Glendale, CO had it and was not an expensive item.

Planet Fitness Discrimination against disabled retired army veteran.

When a customer has a complaint, you ask them to email corporate, but when the person doing the discrimination is the person receiving all the complaint emails and deleting them all how do you resolve an issue? She also is close friends with the district manager who deletes the complaint emails as well. This is not a private owned franchise, this is a corporately owned location, so I know there is a regional manager to speak to, or over their head as well. To make a disabled army veteran feel so welcome he can no longer bring his service dog with him amongst many other incidents, I cannot believe e a Corportation would treat an American hero this way.

Planet Fitness Security and safety in the facilities

Hi.

My name is Olga Perez and I am a Planet Fitness member. My club is

207 N General Mcmullen Dr, San Antonio TX

[protected]

Today 5/21/2023 approximately between 5:00 pm to 5:15 pm, I arrived at the club and went to the bathroom. There I observed a man talking with a woman in the lockers area inside the Women's bathroom. I used the bathroom, and when I finished the man was still there. I told the man that this was a Women bathroom. The man got out of the bathroom but remained close to it. I went to the employee at the front desk and explained the situation. The young man told the employee and me that he mistook the bathroom. The man got out of the gym. Some minutes later the woman got out too. Nor the man or the woman were members of the gym. There are many aspects that worry me about the situation. Can I shower or go to the bathroom feeling safe after seeing that nonmembers can enter the gym and men can enter the bathrooms? Do you have cameras? Now that the gym is offering free membership to minors during summer; are they going to be safe? Are the employees trained on how to respond to this kind to situation? If you need more information you can call me at [protected]. I am more comfortable talking on Spanish.

I am a member of the Planet Fitness in Derby Ct. The stand-up tanning beds have not worked for several days now. (it's going on weeks) I understand that there are lay down beds that do work. I suffer with back problems. I cannot lay flat on my back without being in pain. I am sure I am not the only person with this issue. This is in violation of my membership.

Planet Fitness Service to new client

I live in Jackson michigan. I went to rejoin Planet at their new location on Friday May 19 2023. 1:15 pm afternoon.

I said to the young girl that I had not been there before. She asked for my phone number. She said you are cancelled and read the remarks that I didn’t have time. That was several years ago. She kept looking and reading. I said I know but I want to join. She asked the young man reddish hair and glasses if he would “take this one “ he said he didn’t have time. But he was standing there not talking or helping anyone. I don’t complain but they were both rude! As if I didn’t exist! I left!

Kathleen Hayworth.

Desired outcome: Better service and pay attention to a possible new client.

Planet Fitness Unauthorized credit card charges

I have been charged on a month-to month basis when I no longer live in the Country. Their policy is that they cannot cancel a membership over the phone or by email. I would physically have to go in-person to cancel or send a letter by mail. I have tried to send a letter on multiple occasions, and I get no response from them. I am now going to have to go back to my home country to change my bank account and go in person to cancel since it seems they are not getting my letters or possibly just disregarding them completely. There have been incidents where they stop billing me for one month and then they continue to bill me the month after on a different date around the original date but not consecutively. This is causing me a lot of trouble since I cannot use their services and when contacting them, they just refer to their policy that they can only have me cancel in-person or by mail. I would like to be refunded for the membership since the last non-consecutive charge they charged me for, which was on 4/21/22 (as they never charged me for that month after I sent them a letter via snail mail on 3/21/22). I figured they got my mail and then they didn't charge me in the month of April last year. They then continued to charge me on 5/02/22 a $39 fee which I had never been charged previously. Then they charged me again on 5/17/22 the $21.99 fee they normally charged me monthly. Overall, I am looking for at least a full refund from that date which comes out to $324.00. With that said, I have frozen my bank account and I will be going back to change my bank account and go in-person to cancel my membership. Meaning I will have end up paying even more to cancel my membership when flight costs and travel are included. Since I froze my bank account their policy says they will send me to collections if I miss more than 3 consecutive payments. So I am forced to go back and cancel in-person and get my bank account sorted out. I am not happy with their services, and I have read several accounts where they have been taken to small claims court for this exact reason. I am also an influencer online and if my issue cannot be resolved I will have to let my followers know that this is not a company they should support, or at least make them aware of the issues I am going through so they don't have the same problems in the future with their company. Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide for you to further my claim to get a refund.

Desired outcome: Please Refund the charged to my account.

Planet Fitness Regional manager, not club manager

I have a complaint about the regional manager in Omaha.

I was at the location approximately 147th and Maple Road.

The new regional manager was there to be helping me out with a billing issue.

She was awful

Rude and abrasive and she over charged me.

I need a call back. This woman is just awful. I was told by other patrons or guests, members of the gym - 3 others told me that she has been rude and abrasive to them also.

I need a phone call back.

My name is Cheri Smith.

[protected].

The club manager is Katherine. She is delightful.

But her father passed away and she is out.

This Regional manager was AWFUL. Never once apologized that I was upset and the fact that PF screwed up my account is not my fault.

Please call me back.

Cheri

Desired outcome: I want a return call.

Planet Fitness Membership Cancellation

Greetings,

On May 15, 2023, I received an email from the Planet Fitness OP KS location regarding membership cancellation.

Although I am in agreement that my membership should be cancelled I am not in agreement with the attached noticed being forged as if I signed it; which I did not!

I moved from Kansas in February 2023 and have not been back since and no one from this location has contacted regarding this situation. If someone had contacted me we could have resolved this the right way, this way is illegal and inconsiderate to me as being a customer.

Desired outcome: Kindly acknowledge receipt of this message. Thank you in advance.

Planet Fitness Planet fitness membership activated without consent.

Hi,

Around September 2018 I went to Planet Fitness in Bedford Centre with the aim to acquire a gym membership, we started the process with the consultant but agreed to pause the process so I can reactivate my Vitality membership in order for the membership monthly premium to be lower, the consultant remained with the documents whilst I started the journey of reactivating my vitality membership, I later learnt my membership was activated through a debit order which I revoked as it didn’t make sense to me. I enquired with the gym only to find out the membership was activated without my consent; I did not receive any communication to let me know the membership was activated as I would have raised it with them immediately! I have never used the gym facilities apart from when I was there to enquire and later to dispute the membership activation. The contract states that their memberships are only activated once the membership fee has been paid, which I didn’t so how was my membership activated? What package was I put on as I didn’t confirm that since were still busy with it? The lady activated the membership to gain commission and I have sent numerous emails, went to the facilities over and over again and I was told Management was not around, emails get ignored, questions are not answered and now I’m told I owe Planet Fitness R11 153,22, for what? They left the membership hanging even after I submitted my dispute, why? This has been going on for about 6 years and I’m at a point where I’ve actually had enough with the harassment and the lady who committed fraud knows very well what she did and she herself cannot give me answers instead she plays hide and seek. I refuse to pay for something I didn’t agree on, utilize nor was informed of its existence, they even spelt my surname incorrectly because the documents were outstanding, I trusted that woman and she went and illegally activated that membership.

Desired outcome: I would like Planet Fitness, to clear my name, remove my details from their system as I've never been their member as this is affecting my credit record.
