Planet Fitness – Knightdale

Staff is very friendly and the place is always clean. I try to go during times when it’s not busy to avoid the heavy traffic. The price is great for what I need to do and I have the black card membership. They just added lifting equipment so that there are no waits.

Very Annoyed– I joined Planet Fitness Black Card Membership for the tanning only. The tanning beds at this location are amazing, however I find the eyewear situation to be annoying. When you ask to tan, the staff asks you if you have eyewear and then you must show them your eyewear to prove that you do have it.
I understand having signs posted in each room saying that you need to wear eye protection, but it is not state law that you have to show the front desk attendant whether you have it or not. (what ever happened to the judgement-​free zone. it is like they won’t take my word for having eyewear– i have to prove it. As if that necessarily means anyone is wearing it in the booth anyway)
I complained to the AGM and she said it is in the contract I signed. (it is not)
The GM’s customer service was much better to say the least, and he explained that it is company policy. I asked him to check with his superiours as it is not a requirement by the state and they can’t force people who are tanning to prove that they have eye wear. I will follow up with him next week.

I just signed up at this location with the Black membership. I think it’s a great gym for the price. There are plenty of weight machines and other exercise equipment so there is no wait. This location also offers chair massage, hydro massage, and tanning beds. Very informative staff. I was a little put off at first that they will only except my account and routing number for payment, not a card number, but I understand why they do that as well.

Love overweight women sweating away on elipticals while watching Rachel Ray cook delicious treats? this place is the place for you. One nice thing is they don’t allow you to drop weights or make noise while lifting them, so the highschool sophomores that come there to get ripped so they can steal that hot cheerleader from the football player who has a solid foot height and 50 lb weight advantage. With low low memberships of either $ 10 a month or $ 20 a month, how could you say no? Just be prepared for the $ 39.99 annual membership fee that comes out in October, as well as the $ 39.99 monthly price garuntee fee. They take those out to garuntee that you get that low low price so if price is what brings you to planet fitness, you really only pay $ 27 a month. So of big women are your style, and you like to be really polite and gentle with your weights, join planet fitness!

this is my first experience at a Planet Fitness and any gym in NC but I found the facilities incredibly clean and neat. The staff I have met have all be more than friendly and very informative. I would have considered a 5 but the place would have to be perfect. If I had one comment or complaint it is that they do not have a blood pressure monitor machine. In New England (recently moved here from Boston) that is standard and allows one to monitor their vitals.
Of course a pool and sauna would be nice but, then again, its not a country club.
Nice job P F

I like this gym. Close to everything at what is in knightdale. Clean. Gets crowded in the afternoon. Go in the morning if you can. Though there is a good amount of cardio equipment. A lot of TVs.
Good price for what you get.

A lot of cardio equipment jammed in a tight space. Very small space compared to my normal location. Not highly impressed with this location.

I go here mainly to tan, I occasionally work out and the selection of machines is good. I particularly like the 30 minute workout section, which it rarely crowded. The staff here is great and the facility is always clean. The locker room is always clean.

I’m rating 5 because I am satisfied with their customer service, their equipment and the facility. Members here are more disciplined in sanitizing after themselves than other high-​priced gym.
Their staff are all friendly!!! This company is well managed!!!

I’ve been a member of this Planet Fitness since it opened a few years ago.
Pros:
Lots of Cardio Training Machines
Friendly Staff
$ 10 Monthly Membership Fee
30 minute circuit training room.
The hours: open 24 hours during the week and long hours on weekends.
Cons:
Can get very busy during peak hours (like every gym in the area)
No workout classes.(zumba,
No Pool
The cons are not really a knock, if you want anything on the con list this is not the right gym for you.
They have a couple different memberships you can go with, the $ 10 a month which will get you access to the gym you signed up for only. The another choice is $ 20 a month which you get access for other Planet fitness centers and also use of the massage chairs and I believe the tanning beds also.

I’ve been a member of Planet Fitness for years, whenever I move I change over to the closet location. The Knightdale location is really nice. They have separate rooms for abs and the 30-​min workout. There are a ton of treadmills, ellipticals and bikes.
It’s usually pretty busy between 5 – 6, but thats expected as its right when people are getting off work. Staff is very friendly as are the people working out. Never had a problem at Planet Fitness.

Assortment of equipment. Love the massage chairs!

3 stars due to selection of equipment
3 stars due to number of people that attend every day
3 stars due to membership fees
If you don’t mine having everyone and their brother excercising next to you than you will be ok. You better wear what is appropriate.
My wife and I laughed the other day when we passed the window of Planet. All you see if bouncing heads and swinging arms and legs (of course, I had to imitate it while driving, should of been there).
If only I had invented and patented the treadmill.
These people could save themselves alot of time, effort, money if they worked an active job. No offense, kidding!!!
