Planet Fitness – Charlotte – University Blvd

$ 10 per month… are you kidding me? This place and staff should get 100 stars. I was hesitant to sign up and thought it was a gimmick… boy was I surprised! This place is great and so is the staff! Bagels in the morning? Pizza on Fridays? You get your money’s worth in food alone. I have paid up to $ 120 per month for a club and it was only on par with this place. This place is kept very clean!

Not a bad location. I’m 5 mins from this gym. I was searching for a 24hr gym and this is the best thing in this area. It is pretty clean to me. I see a lot of gym goers clean up after themselves and also the staff is friendly and keeps it clean as well. I like to go 10p at night because it isn’t too crowded but just enough folks in there. I’m rating four stars because they don’t have 35lb plates. I don’t understand why. I also wish they had a regular bench instead of using smith machine for bench press. But hey I know how to manage… I’m not new to this lol.

I see all of the negative comments on Unilocal and other places for PF and I have to disagree! I have been a black card member for 2+ years and I can’t complain about much at all.
First off this is a gym you work out you do what you came to do and you leave! In almost all aspects I never had a problem with this gym. I rarely see any machines out of service for more than a day. The facilities are clean and the staff are helpful and respond to any issues I have brought to their attention.
As expected this location can get a little busy during peak hours however they have quite a few machines so your waiting time will most likely be short.
I haven’t used the trainer, massage or tanning facilities so I can’t speak on those. I have also never had anything stolen or anything happen to my car in my two years of being there.
Overall the gym is just like any other basic gym, you as the adult guest need to be responsible. For example if you use the locker room bring a lock! Don’t bring anything valuable that could get broken, lost, stolen in the gym (i.e. leave it in your car). Bring a towel, wipe your machines down before/​after each use. Lock your car, hide your valuables etc.etc.The big one being before you sign up for a membership here or anywhere else READ THE CONTRACT IN FULL!!! From what I have seen their membership termination rules are pretty standard.

Probably the worst fitness center ever.
I had my car struck by a trainer there in the parking lot, witnesses by a bystander and this black trainer guy denied it over and over, even though bystander witness had taken a picture with their phone.
management was totally unresponsive.
I am cancelling my membership over this kind of stuff.
Numerous people I have worked out with indicate theft is a problem here.

I really don’t want to give them any star’s. This gym is so CRAZY that they get away with alot of stuff! Ok so my boyfriend is a member and he usually work out after work and the gym do offer lockers but you bring your own locked which my boyfriend did. He went and did his work out and come to find his locked was cut and his money was stolen! && the gym is taking no responsibility at ALL… He call the police and the police fill a report and NOTHING… Happened!!!# the gym didn’t take any responsibility to theirs members SO dont sign up just go work out somewhere else…

I joined this gym in February and have been pleasantly surprised. The gym is well-​maintained, although the women’s bathroom can get a little messy during peak hours, and the staff very friendly.
I’ve noticed that the peak hours seem to be from 5:30ish to about 7:00 p.m. from Mon-​Wed with Fridays being a ghost town.
The gym has all of your classic equipment: treadmills, ellipticals, bicycles, strength training devices. Just be sure to wipe your machines BEFORE and AFTER use.

the staff there is usually rude and its always pack I had to change gyms. I like the one off freedom better. Thank God for choices

My experiences have been so much more pleasant this year than my previous review. Gym is crowded during the evenings– they have sheets in the front that list an approximate amount of people that are working out during the day which is nice. New front desk people (or either people I haven’t seen last year) are super nice.
I’ve heard about the pizza, bagel, coffees but I’ve never seen it for myself. And care not to lol.
They also have a police tower. I love this since I go super late/​early.

I loved this gym while I lived in Charlotte– I did not love this gym when I canceled my membership and moved to Ohio… and they kept charging me for nearly a year. It was impossible to get someone on the phone to cancel my membership. They told me I had to cancel in person (hello, I live in Ohio now!) or send them a written request to cancel. After a few failed attempts at faxing/​email/​etc. I just canceled the card they had and gave up.
They sent me a postcard saying «we’ll waive all your outstanding fees if you come back to our gym.» No, Planet Fitness, I don’t plan on coming back and you already got way more money from me than you should have. 2 stars because it was a great gym close to my apartment while I went to grad school at UNC Charlotte. Just be sure you cancel well before you plan on leaving town, so you have enough time to return and cancel as many times IN PERSON until it sticks and you aren’t charged anymore.

Visited from North Florida. Easy access off of the interstate. Larger than my home gym, lots more equipment. Friendly staff and clean.

I love this gym! They have a great variety of equipment and enough cardio equipment to go around. The lockerrooms are usually clean and they offer pizza on mondays which I let serve as a motivator. I visit this gym often enough and the monthly fee is crazy cheap! The only problem I have with Planet Fitness is the staff. They arent the most friendly and arent always available to greet me at the door. There have been a few times where no one was there so I didnt even check-​in and just headed for the cardio equipment.

I just hopped on the $ 20 a month memebership promotion they had going on. And i have to say i am more than pleased. Friendly staff, clean facility, and a variety of different «trainers» throughout the gym.

I really can’t complain about this place, unless you factor in how crowded it gets in the afternoons! But that’s manly Mon-​Wed and by Thursday the «after work» crowd really dies down to about half the Monday crowd.
@ 10 bucks a month you really can’t beat this gym! It’s always clean, the bathrooms are nice and tidy, and the staff are always very pleasant to talk to. This is a basic gym that doesn’t offer any advanced training options like some of those other big box gyms. However, for someone like me only wanted a basic gym to work out at, it’s just the ticket! Keep it up Planet Fitness!

Some people have difficulty grasping the concept of Planet Fitness. It’s just high quality fitness equipment geared at getting you in shape. No glitzy smoothie bars or aerobics classes for ladies to get all dressed up trying not to sweat. The attendants are pleasant and readily answer questions. The Lunk Alarm can be a little irritating but you overlook that after awhile. Keep doing what you do Planet Fitness because I’m a fan!

It’s called Planet Fitness not I’m going to get ripped and lift all the weights so I will be able to crush you gym. You work out here to stay or get fit. No meat heads here. Check your ego at the door and enjoy. The only issue I have is because its only $ 10 a month no contract there are so many members you can forget about working out at night time because the place is packed! I mean packed. I go I. The mornings and only had to wait for a shower 2 times in the last year. So of you can workout in mornings or during the day come on and join! If you need to come at nights lets say after work… Forget about it. The place is clean and the equipment is taken care of. The best part is the price. Check for specials like $ 0 down $ 10 a month no contract!
