Planet Fitness summer teenage deal

I think it's commendable that you are offering teenagers the free deal until September. However, I frequent three local gyms in my area daily and what the teenagers are doing is appalling . They arrive in clusters clutching to their dear cellphone eyes glued on the phone go to machine and sit and do no exercise other than their fingers on the keypad. I have even approached some and said if you're not using the machine I'd like to use it and I said open I'm using it. This is an absolute travesty. Your members are dedicated and paid for a service they expect to get not watch teenagers flirt with each other and play with their phone. Complaining locally will do no good because an edict Hass to come from the top to all of the locations to monitor this behavior and have it stopped. Otherwise paying members will go elsewhere to exercise. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Planet Fitness staff/customer service/cancellation

I have never experienced a so-called corporate entity so rude and unhelpful. My mother went to her home location and cancelled her membership and was given proof of cancellation. The membership expired on the 16th of the month, but she was still charged for the membership on the 17th. I called the home location as well as corporate who were both extremely rude and unprofessional. I am so disgusted by the way that I was treated as well as the way that my Mother is being treated when she specifically went to the home location to cancel.

That is so outrages I canceled 6/29 and was charged the cancellation fee the following day. They told me if I had canceled 4 days earlier I would not have been charged a bunch of BS.

I joined in December, and ended my tanning bed membership at Suntan City because I was given the opportunity at Planet Fitness to use their tanning beds. Suntan City provides the beds for the gym. On several occasions I have complained, my sister has complained and the girl at the desk today said several others have complained about bed #3 because the fan...

Planet Fitness wrongful termination cody mcdow discrimination

Jasper al planet fitness location
Sent to Joshua Gass via email no response

Let me understand this.
So you was watching cody mcdow all day on camera on his cell phone. You called last night and told (will) the manager that allowed cody and hannah to be on their phones.
If camera are reviewed you will find cody and hannah side by side on camera on their phones. You will find manager will allowing employees on their phones.
To terminate cody and escort him out like a criminal..
So if a lawyer reviews the camera and sees cody and hannah side by side on their cell phones and you only fired the Male. That's wrongful termination based on sex and discrimination. Then he reviews and see the manager will allowing these employees on their phone which he will then that's a hell of a law suit dont you think so too Joshua gass?
I would like a call back or a higher manager to speak with before I go any further. This corporation is based on none discrimination.
Seems you kept the pretty blonde girl and discriminated against the cute male.. not to mention the manager allowed them to be on their phones. Bigger question why was you watching him all night? Or was you watching the female around him? Why wasnt both employees fired? Why was manager allowing them on their phones? Why has manager not been properly trained to enforce rules to employees?

Planet Fitness kent washington

I'm a black card member, I pay fees and have traveled nationally to various pf gyms. I am disgusted at the disregard and lack of standing behind the vision of pf, allowing people to wear anything, breasts falling out tank tops, conversations all over including while on machines and overall lack of courtesy. The purpose of this gym is diversity and judgment free, it's becoming a hangout...may as well go to golds gym... Staff hangout, "trainer" walks around like it's a chore to be there, never smiles. (Shes new). The only rockstar team member is the black girl with the braids, shes beautiful in and out.

Planet Fitness customer service from manager

Customer service at this location (13839 Breck St, Houston Tx, 77066) is usually very upbeat and friendly, but this visit, I had the unfortunate opportunity to meet the branch's Manager Adam. I had not met Adam before, but the tone he sets is not a pleasant one. Adam was completing payments for customers and when he got to me, he informed me that I would have a $15 late fee on top of what I pay for the black card membership since my card declined the say before as my bank switched my card due to a data breach. I jokingly asked if he could waive the fee, to which he replied, "I can't since this is not the first one." I then asked If he could then waive the first one since he made it seem as though the first on could have been waived. He rudely stated that I'd only been with them 8 months and need to stop getting declined. I let him know that for what I pay with them including the late fees, I could just join 24hr fitness and have better centers and perks. He just replied okay as if he doesn't care about retaining customers. I was a manager for 6 years and now own my own business, I would never treat my customers so rudely. Needless to say, I do not believe I will be renewing that contract, 24hr fitness seems like a great move.

Planet Fitness lettin teen come to the gym.

If you are going to do something like let the teen come to the gym for summer, that good. However the hours need to be like from 8am- 10am.
I have been a member at the Strongsville Ohio Gym for more than a year and letting these teens in has caused problems. They are loud, rude and always on their cell phones. They are very noisy and not appreciated.
Very poorly thought out, You have made your regular client very uncomfortable and dont suprised when alot leave.
We do not go the the gym to be annoyed by teens.
I know that this came from a place of giving to get them off the couch but it was not thought out at all.. Please contact me Steven [protected].

Planet Fitness staff

Although I like the gym the staff at various location are half trained and lack knowledge of the machines. Example I visited the Inglewood branch needed to try the total enhancement machine for the 1st time. Staff member walked me to the station to show me how to operate quickly which I still didn't get but, anyway I asked shoukd in undress? She stated no, I said what about the lights don't I need glasses? She said no and you can take ur phone inside if u want.

Come to find out I did need to take my close off to get results and need pride to be eyewear! As per another location outside of the ghetto locations. Speaking of which the ghetto locations often have people just sitting on the machine's texting n talking not working out jogging the machines and when you tell the staff they do nothing.

Planet Fitness customer service

Joined the gym on 1/28/19, signed the contract and everything was good. On April 24th at 1:53 a.m., my agreement was re created/converted by an employee from a different location without my consent. After numerous calls to the gym manager, area manager and corporate, no one has rectified this issues. This new agreement was not signed by me and the terms are not what I agreed on back In January. Terrible customer service, no help and I am still trying to get this situation taken care of.

Planet Fitness customer service

I always timed my daily workout so I could watch Good Morning America and today they removed the channel and refuse to put it back on. They have 20 TV's and 4 of them have the same channel playing but they are unwilling to put Channel 5 (ABC) on one of them. When I asked the attendant why, I was told the tv channel selection is controlled by corporate and there's nothing they can do about it.

I can't believe that Planet Fitness cares so little about their loyal clients that they are willing to lose one over a ridiculous issue like this. You just spent a fortune at this location with a complete remodel and all new equipment, but obviously could care less about the most important thing, your customers.

I am going back this afternoon to cancel my membership. There are plenty of other gyms to choose from.

Planet Fitness poor customer service

I am a member of the Planet Fitness in Farragut Tennessee. I joined to go and get fit and tan following my work out. This is the worst store in Knoxville as I have been to several locations. The employees are rude and are not there to take care of the customers. Theres always about 5 people at the front desk and they are usually goofing off and lauging like children at play. The main complaint is the tanning beds are terrible. They were really nice when the store first opened and now I might as well not even tan because the bulbs are not being changed. Its like not even going. bulbs are not woriking in one of the lay down beds and I have reported it several times within a 2 week time period and still no working bulbs. It seems there needs to be supervision in this location because apparently the employees there now are not capable of running it the right way and now I have to go out of my way to another location.

Planet Fitness poor customer service from employees

On the day of April 15th myself and a friend went to planet fitness located in Barrie ON where we both have a membership. We went to the front desk and asked to make use of the hydro bed message, the manager at the desk had advised us that we would have to wait 5 minutes for a bed. We agreed to it and waited off to the side. After waiting about 20 minutes the manager (Bri) then gave our bed to a girl and advised myself and my friend that we would have to use the chairs, as we watched her give away the beds that we patiently waited for. At the end of our massage on our way out we tried to address Bri about her giving away the beds that we had waited for, and we were not even acknowledged. I myself have worked in the customer serviced industry and that is NO way to treat a customer, I chose planet fitness for convince but I will not pay for something to experience such disrespect. This has really opened my eyes and I am strongly considering cancelling the membership and going else where, where customer service is provided.

Planet Fitness hours of operation

The times that this location is open make it very difficult sometimes for a mother with a full time job and child under 13 who cannot come along to work out the amount I should in order to better myself physically and mentally. It would be much more convenient if this location could go to 24 hours like most other locations. Or to at least stay open until 1-2 am. The weekends when my son is not with me is usually when I get to go most but because they are only 7-7, the hours I typically work then gives me no time to get a proper workout in.
