Planet Fitness – Smyrna

Had a membership for 6 months prior to that I was coming as a guest with my friend who had a 10 $ member ship and today me and fiancée get stopped and was told I couldn’t have a guest with the month to month plan or even the 10 $ plan. Only the 20 $. Like what ?? We always come in together they make him Sign in but today is different ??? The black girl at the front with the braids with the name tag Robert. I don’t like that it’s inconsistent they need to be more clear don’t just sometimey your members be CONSISTENT ! Canceling my membership. LA fitness it is! for 10 bucks more we get free classes and bring guests.

New workout spot in a city far away!
Love their layout because everything is open. Very personable staff that was very helpful because I left my member card in Memphis :(
This gym has a lot of space so find your area and get to work!
Not much else to say other than I loved all of the open windows in the gym as well giving off natural light!

I’ve been going to the Smyrna PF for months and I also use other locations in the area. This location is great for me and the equipment selection is sufficient. Like most gyms, it has its peak times and I work around those. Unfortunately, the staff is the main issue here. Daytime staff is usually 5 – 7 ppl which none of them will say hi or goodbye to you. They all stand behind the counter on their cell phones, talking to each other or eating. The main muscle head manager, who peaked in high school, wears a camo hoodie, constantly talks on his cell phone and does one set and then walks around with arms out from his sides like a typical lunk. The trainer shows new members the equipment and exercises with no excitement and definitely with no interest in mind. He’d rather be in a cut off tank top working out with his buds. I don’t even know if he’s available to be a regular trainer for someone since he never talks to any members and just standoffish. The men’s locker room is usually littered with paper, dirty sinks and no paper towels. There are a few employees in the evening that are nice and friendly and apparently new. Every other PF location I’ve used has a staff that greets you coming in and leaving. I love Planet Fitness but this day staff and management team need to take a course in customer service or replaced.

I signed up online sight unseen after I saw the commercial. I signed up for the top package which gives me access to all of the amenities. When I went to pick up my key card and free tee-​shirt the guy behind the counter did not even think to give me a tour of the place. I had to ask him which I thought was poor customer service. My initial opinion was that the club was not well lit. I had visited another PF as a guest in Battle Creek, Michigan and it was so much brighter and cleaner. But this one is okay. They have a lot of different machines and an Ab circuit just to work abdominals. The ladies locker room is on the small side but I have never had a problem finding an empty long locker. They also have a personal trainer that you can get advice from which is a perk I have not used yet. For the price, you can’t beat it.

Its been a year and counting… And i have to say good price and good staff…
Lots of equipment… Cant ask for more…

Was here visiting from memphis. This place is great. the staff is awesome people if your in this area its a deal! I was crowded by noone, and cant beat 24 hours a month at $ 10 a month

*Sigh* Ok, I’m not going to lie, the billboard that said, «only a dumbbell would pay more» brought me here. As a former LA Fitness member, this was phenomenal news. $ 10?! Sign me up. Like, now! Unfortunately, I didn’t have the foresight to know at the time that my reaction was probably felt by the majority of its members. $ 10+Fitness minded people=crowded gym. Yep, I’d say about 90% of the time I go it’s packed. Quite frustrating when it seems that all the machines are being utilized. I’ve tried numerous times to modify my workout schedule to test what times would be more ideal for me. So far, no luck. Not sure what I’m going to do moving forward. Anyways, the gym is clean, machines are decent and there are plentiful amount of treadmills. If you are on a tight budget and don’t mind a crowd, PF might be worth a look.

I get the concept. They want everyone to feel welcome and not judged but they judge others as «lunks». Someone who drops the weights, wears tank tops, and drinks water from gallon jugs. I do none of these. This place is called planet FITNESS. Last I checked pushing yourself to muscle failure help you build muscle. Sometimes you may drop your weights. I hate to offend others with my hard work.
I am not sure what is more frustrating about this gym. The lack of free weights (no barbells), the fact that their machines do not have less weight than comparable models, or the lack of gym etiquette. Every time I get up from a machine to stretch or tie some hops on it. In less than 5 seconds.

Nice place to work out. It is neat and organized. I like it because it is ²⁴⁄₅. Black card members can enjoy chair and bed massage machine, or use the tanning machine.

Great gym for the money. Seriously for $ 10 bucks a month what is there to complain about! It’s new, always clean, and everyone is friendly. I have never had to wait for a machine and its large so never overly crowded. I will say that I usually come during weekday hours so might be more crowded after 5p.
For the money, it’s worth it. I am pleased with my membership

Kinda feel like I got bait and switched.
They got me in the door w/​one offer just to try and say there was another charge.
I called corperate and they’re a bunch of shaved pussies that have no power since each location is «individually owned and operated» I guess they just let them do what ever they want. My advice, don’t be a pune tang and find another place to get a work out in.
And they want your bank account numbers… why couldn’t you just pay w/​cash if you wanted. I tried to give them a credit card and they said they «Don’t take Visa»
Who the fuck doesn’t take Visa?! I would like to have my travel and cash back points.
If they want to make it right, I have no problem taking this down and re-​evaluating the business.

I like this gym…
It’s 10 bucks a month with an annual enrollment fee of $ 29, its nice & cool and the machines are always available.
No, there are no pools, spas or sauna, but who needs all of that, they have everything you need to get in a great workout, I especially love the 30 minute workout areas.
The gym is always clean, and everyone is always polite with the exception of them trying to get me to take a picture (Yeah right, with my hair wrapped up and no makeup), Not going to happen. lol
Go to Planet Fitness, where you get all the bang for your bucks!!!

No, no, no. Anyone serious about fitness would never workout here. Place is dark, lacks any stimulation or energy and front desk was semi hostile. Their no judging concept is a joke because they judge «in shape people» just say no.

*sigh* I went in to inquire about membership. The girl at the front desk immediately took out sheets of paper showing the 3 different membership options… however offered no tour of the facilities. She never (nor the other worker) ever left the front desk. When I asked about a tour because I had never been inside of a Planet Fitness (and therefore would not know anything about the Black Card services she spoke of), She told me I could show myself around. HUH?! I took one lap around the gym… and left. $ 10-​$ 20 a month for membership… the employees are worth about $ 10 a month as well. I may have joined if she had not been my experience.

I love my gym. I signed up very soon after they opened and have been going almost every day since. Nothing this close by (for me at least) offers the variety of equipment for the price. It can get busy, but this hasn’t caused a problem with getting my workouts in. Location and price is perfect for what I need.

You get what you pay for. $ 10 bucks a month attracts a 10 bucks a month crowd.
I will say that the staff is great and the facilities are clean and well maintained and the place is large. It occupies what was once a Kroger.
No classes, no pool, no frills. If you can’t motivate yourself, ain’t nobody gonna do it for you Snowflake.
One thing that seems like a benefit is what I dislike the most. A «Black Card» member can bring in a guest every time they go. So why would a couple or roommates who workout together buy separate memberships? There would be no need. Just go as their guest and save the auto withdrawal from your bank account.
Often, it seems that half the gym is comprised of guests many of whom are occupying the various weight machines while just using their phones.
Kids are allowed in too. The limit is supposed to be 14yo but I’ve seen much younger and I don’t want to work out with 14 year olds either.
Peak hours can get insane. The 30 treadmills will always be occupied.
Personally, I was robbed of a pair of Sony headphones that I left in a unlocked locker. My fault. Lesson learned.
A staff member had their car stolen right out of the lot.
If meeting a special someone at the gym is your thing (not mine) this isn’t the gym for you. Although if you cut a fine figure in your Lululemons, prepare to be gawked at.
If, however, you like to work out during waaaay off peak hours and you live nearby, this place may be hard to beat for the price.
Update!!! 02 – 15
It is sooo much more crowded now than ever! If you want to work out in the early evenings… forget it. The staff still does a good job keeping the place decent.

Nice gym for blackcard members. I like that a guest can come on every visit (I’m the guest) the machines are in good condition, they’re kept clean and function properly. They have tanning beds and automated massage tables again for blackcard members. They have paper towels all over the place for wiping down machines but none in the bathroom. They have those turbo air dryers, this dissapointed me a bit. There are showers and lockers. There isn’t any Wifi, though this seems to be a common trend in most gyms. I’m glad my girlfriend joined and I’m confident we’ll come often. A few more things: they have a free weight section though it is on the smaller side. They have a 30 min workout circuit room, and an ab circuit. There is something for everyone here.

Pretty nice facility. I was visiting from out of town and needed to get a few workouts in. I just wish that after we clean off the equipment that we didn’t have to walk a mile to get to the trash can as it is a rather large facility. Other than that it’s great!

I just recently joined this gym. I mainly gone after work (630pm) and there is usually a good amount of people there. Not to the extent that you have to wait for a machine, but there is def a crowd.
This morning I went before work, 530am — 630am and I was surprised at the amount of people there. It wasn’t a full house by any means, but a few people in there. I think I will go in the mornings from now on.
Membership is $ 20 /​month with a $ 40 annual membership fee that gets billed in June regardless of when you join. You get a key chain tag that has a number written on that back of it. When you go in, the rep at the desk is suppose to put that number in the system to confirm that the account is valid and that you are the person connected to that tag (I had my photo taken so I assume that is what they check).
You can also bring a GUEST each time you go, I bring my fiancé. That is main reason I like this gym, fair price and I can always bring a PLUS ONE.
The locker room is pretty nice and they have two water fountains available. They have some water massage chair things that I have yet to try, but will eventually.
Great location, right off South Cobb Dr, so about 10 min drive away from my place.
Overall, satisfied. The machines are very clean, laid out very nicely, and have multiple TV’s that you can watch :)

Brand new fitness center. I like the fact that I only pay $ 10 to go work out. I did the 30 min circuit and was sweating LOL will definetly keep up with my workout routine and hope to see results soon!
