Planet Fitness – Laurel

I’ve been there once on travel. It was a Wednesday at about 1800. The most packed PF I’ve ever been too. The facility was on par with any other. There was a lack of plate weights for the Smith machines. There was an average of about 2 45’s for each machine. I had to keep stealing them from other machines while people were on them. I wasn’t a huge fan of this location.

Great gym for the price! Very clean and staff is friendly and helpful. The parking lot is a mess (lots of potholes) but there are plenty of spots. Lots of TVs to keep you entertained on the cardio equipment. I wish they had a few more stair climbers because they seem to be popular equipment choice for the after work crowd. Even during «busy» times you can still find a machine. Definitely recommend this location!

I’m glad my boyfriend forced me to choose this gym instead of across the street that didn’t have an annual fee.
Clean, airy and unpretentious. Truly judgement free. Love the variety of TV channels played. Love the circuit workouts. Never packed inside and you are able to really hop on any machine.

I have been a member since March had a stent in February and been coming 3 times a week and do the 30 minute work out. I love it and for the money it’s best gym around

In the two weeks I have had my membership this by far is the best location. I have been to Alexandria, Ft. Meade, and Silver Spring (which I thought was the best but has taken a turn for the worse clearly with management).
This location is newer and large, surrounded within a 5 mile radius competing gyms. They draw serious fitness people and not people watchers or teenagers. Yes I know don’t be a critic but for the price you either have to lower expectations or make sure they are realistic.
Gym seems fairly clean. My ONLY complaint is the best cardio machines, Cybex, is literally above the machine. So much so I have to look either left or right because I am too close to the TV to look straight up. Not sure who thought that was a good idea.

I am a fat boy. I beat anorexia to a pulp in my mid thirties, and in my mid forties I decided I needed to fix my new problem and my wife and other members of the family agreed. So we joined a gym, at this point it was World Gym in Glen Burnie, Md. We loved this gym and we got in better shape and lost weight. Not THE END.
My parents had some serious health problems and we moved to Laurel Md to take care of my father. We tried to make the drive to Glen Burnie but it was doomed. So began our search for a good replacement. We tried Gold’s Gym, not bad, but not World Gym caliber. We tried Laurel Health and Fitness (two different times); we tried fitness evolution; and we tried a couple others that were good at taking our money but not at motivating me to go.
Finally we joined Planet Fitness (thank you Tee) in Laurel. We all like going, it is clean, all of the equipment is in good working order, they are 24/​7, and it only costs $ 10 a month. I know it is $ 20 a month if you are a black card member. Everyone is polite and helpful. You can get help from a personal trainer when you need it (within reason).
I am approaching fifty with a little less of me.
