Planet Fitness – Naugatuck

New location built with all new equipment however still very cramped. Very small floor/​ab section and put right next to where the guys lift their weights. As a female, not a comfortable location at all. Tanning is updated and very clean…

hands down best gym. The manager (Dustin) is very accommodating, goes above and beyond for the members. Staff is very friendly, they greet you with enthusiasm every check in!
any small issue is resolved immediately. facility is always clean. the upgraded facility has great parking, a lot safer and well lit.
Tanning beds and massage beds are a great asset to the gym as well as the new massage chairs.

The new gym is awesome! All new machines, much bigger & better layout and great new black card lounge! Dustin was great with showing us around and explaining all the ins and outs! I’ve been a member for years, but to be honest, stopped going to the old facility because of the condition it was in. Exciting for the new place, and hope they keep up with it and it continues to stay great!
My one observation is that the woman’s restrooms are quite often either running out, or completely out of toilet paper. I think they need to have a check in maybe every hour or so.

The new facility is awesome. The facility is more than spacious and the equipment is state of the art and user friendly for those who are new to the gym. The customer service has been outstanding. Dustin took the time to show me around and always makes himself available for questions without making me feel like a bother. The staff is friendly, helpful and really contribute to holding up to the company standard of being a judgement free zone. The Black card area with the tanning, hydromassage tables and massage chairs alone make it all worth your money and are a nice treat for after your workout. Keep up the great work!

great gym! I use to come here with my old girlfriend Meg and it was very functional! many machines to choose from and lots of functionality. would recommend others to join.

I am not a gym rat, workout snob or exercise guru. I am an average joe who occasionally visits the gym when I get motivated (not often) I have belonged to several gyms in various towns including other branches of planet fitness. The Naugatuck branch of Planet Fitness has a very friendly and attentive staff but the equipment is fairly old and outdated even for a novice. The worst thing there unfortunately is the treadmills. Many are out of service. Most that still «work» often skip while you are running which can be very dangerous and uncomfortable. The price is great for this gym but it would be great to have access to better equipment.

I’ve been going here for years, but recently there is new management so I really felt I had to write a review. Prior to the new manager I would have given this place 4 stars. I liked it, it was clean, the people where nice. Since the old manager left it is not clean at all. I use the tanning booths as well and I have to say, as of yesterday, I was completely grossed out. You can tell things have not been cleaned in a while. The whole place is not as clean as it used to be and the workers all stand behind the counter and do nothing-​and are not very pleasant. I know the old manager went to Waterbury. I may have to follow her… no longer a happy customer.

Joined with a $ 99.00 for the year membership. Compared to other planet fitness’s I’ve been to this doesn’t seem very clean. Looks like they took old equipment from another gym and installed it without cleaning it first.
The staff won’t look up from the pc/​phone/​magazine they are reading to greet you and asking a question will get you dirty looks. I was expecting more from a planet fitness.
It’s worth dealing with for $ 99. But I wouldn’t want to pay more.

One of the better locations for PF that I have been to. The machine area is a little tight, but the nicer tanning, weight circuit room, and locker room facilities have it hands down over the other locations I frequent. Each tanning bed has its own private room, giving Black Card members a much more «professional» tanning experience.
The staff is helpful and friendly without being overbearing and I have not encountered any unpleasant or unsavory folk while working out. I usually go at 6am on week days or 5:30 pm– I will say at 5:30 it is extremely busy with almost every machine being occupied– but if you have the opportunity to go at another time, the morning for instance, you will find plenty of flexibility.

Ok, so I’m torn about my review; I love the staff and the cardio area, but I hate the PF corporate idea around getting in shape and the lack of space for free weights.
I understand PF’s whole marketing idea around «no lunks» and «judgement free», but you ARE a gym after all. For anyone who reads anything (books, magazines, online articles) about fitness, you’ll constantly read how important free weights are — whether you’re trying to build muscle, burn fat or both — to getting in shape. However, PF feels the need to load up on weight machines that lock you into a set pattern of movement, not allowing for the assister muscles to come into play. I would love to see PF remove some of the weight machines (that NO ONE seems to use) and allot more room to free weights (open floor space, adjustable benches). No matter what time of day you go into PF, you have 20 people trying to squeeze into the area where the free weight benches are — an area made for 5 people, tops. There must be 3 rows of about 10 — 12 machines each, and the most I’ve ever seen being used at 1 time were about 10 machines (out of about 30 total). Doesn’t that sort of defeat the purpose of having the smaller fenced-​off area with MORE weight machines? So my review of PF for weights is about a 1.
I do have to say that I LOVE the fact that they have a ton of cardio equipment, and no matter what time of day you go in you can always find an open treadmill or elliptical machine to workout on. I would give PF a 5 for cardio equipment.
I do have to say that the staff is very friendly, so this is no reflection on them — this is more of a complaint about PF Corporate than it is about PF Naugatuck.
PF can go a long way toward being a great gym if they would simply remove ¹⁄₃ of the weight machines that never get used, allot more room to free weights and keep the cardio equipment like it is.

Basic gym. There are always plenty of treadmills free, although some of the other types of cardio machines can fill up. The weight machines only have a couple of each type for the most part, so it’s pretty common for those to be used. Off-​hours are better.
Always see people signing up, but it never gets any busier so I figure all those people paying $ 10 a month to not go to the gym are subsidizing my cheap rates.
If you don’t want the hard sale, I suggest skipping the free personal trainer consultation.

I wish they had more equipements. Come in the rush hour and you sometimes need to wait for certain eqipements or machines. Other than that, it’s a nice gym.
