Planet Fitness – Warren

I’ve been going to this Planet Fitness on and off for about 3 years now and for $ 10/​month, it is definitely worth it. There is enough cardio equipment (which was just updated) in that when it’s really busy (5pm-​7pm), there are always a few machines open. The staff is friendly for the most part, and it seems as if the WiFi is now fixed. It is always clean, which is a big plus. Compared to other gyms, PF gets you the most «bang for the buck».

Fix the fucking wifi!!! Planet fitness is a no frills gym. I get it. There’s a ton of machines and it’s never busy so that’s a plus. But I can’t stand cardio and the only way I can get through it is if I flip my Netflix on and watch something to divert my attention but lately I can’t because the janky ass wifi is never working. Seriously fix that shit. I come to this one because my moms house is 2 blocks away and I go there to change and shower or else I’d go to a higher rated facility that probably has wifi that works

I gained some weight last year, which I’ve been losing steadily on my own, but I need some tone. Since I don’t live in a safe neighborhood, I decided to join a gym last week, so I went online to see what different locations there were around me. This one had everything I was interested in, and a great price at $ 10 sign up, $ 10/​month and no cancellation fee.
I went up to the gym today to buy my membership and try everything out. Imagine my surprise when the membership had changed to $ 29 sign up, $ 10 a month and a $ 58 buy out if I decided to leave. I asked the staff if there was any way to match the other offer, which just ended on Tuesday. Apparently not. They did try to up-​sell me to another membership I couldn’t afford.
The main reason I looked at Planet Fitness was the reasonable sign up and cancellation program. I could afford $ 10 a month. I can’t afford the other program. I’m highly disappointed. Other places of business don’t have a problem matching previous deals and offers. Being turned down flat on getting Tuesday’s offer doesn’t encourage me to buy the next cheapest program. I’m budgeting my money, not tossing it away. They’re losing a customer and gaining a complaint.

I love planet Fitness. 5 minutes from my house, very clean and staff members are supet friendly.

This was my home gym for over 3 years. It has a decent selection of machines and weights. The tanning bed need to be updated as some of the bulbs have been out for months now. The staff is friendly enough. It’s not the nicest Planet Fitness out there but it’s definitely a decent, middle of the road gym.

This was the first PF I ever joined, around 2010. I later ended up going to three different locations before finally moving and having this location as my closest option.
I was curious how it would look four years later, whether this location would «assimilate» and look like all the rest of them do now. And… it does. Since 2010, this PF got rid of a pretty cool pull-​up bar that was adequate for not only pull ups but also flies and what not. The mirror has since been removed, too.
My biggest gripe is the lack of weight benches that are not on a line, aka the Smith Machines. It’s BS really and even though I only pay $ 10 a month and Planet Fitness wants to appeal to everyone, people should get a choice between the Smith Machine and the regular bench. They produce different feelings and different results.
What else… not too many treadmills, good amount of ellipticals (in a separate room, which is fine), machines placed too close together, a goofy 30-​minute workout that nobody really does, the place is darker than hell (literally) and all the paper towel stands are spread out from everything. The parking lot can also be a real bitch to get in and out of.
But …it’s only 10 bucks a month. I don’t think people would pay more than that for what Planet fitness offers as a whole. It’s not hard to get fit at this location, but it is easy to see a bunch of people who don’t really care about seriously getting fit and go to make themselves feel good — if only for a half hour.
This place, as one of the oldest locations, needs an overhaul inside and out. It sometimes gets weird working out in a dungeon. Use some 140-​watt bulbs or something.

Two stars. Find a better gym with people who understand what working out is. These people are nothing but ignorant kids with no direction in life. The gym is outdated and stinks most of the time. I saw a mouse and several bugs in the locker room!

Yes the buidling is older and has a unique layout due to the actual structure but, this facility is pretty nice. Having transferred from teh Utica location recently I will say it is smaller and the parking lot can be a pain and yet, it seems less crowded. I usualy arrive around 1645 and have no problem making my cirucuits or finding an elliptical. The staff are friendly and the locker rooms are maintained as well as can be expected. Men in general are disgusting so don’t blame the staff for nasty locker rooms. Everyone SHOULD do their part to be courteous and respectful with the facilities available. Some say the equipment is outdated, yet I find the same machines at any other PF location. They make the best of what they have and for $ 10 – 20 let’s all have reasonable expectations. Make sure you know their weekend hours if you plan to workout in the evening. The facility is not ²⁴⁄₇. Overall I am very satisfied.

Beware the tanning beds. After waiting for a tanning bed to open, I asked if someone was going to clean the bed before I went in and I was told that the members clean it themselves. Had I not asked, I never would have known this. There are no posters or instructions posted saying that we must clean them. It’s amazing that guy told me this like it was no big deal. So many diseases can be passed this way it’s unfathomable. Make sure you always clean the bed before and after each use! Most people don’t.

I have to agree with Rick’s assessment. We moved across town recently and were already PF members at the Southfield location. We were spoiled for sure. The Warren location is sorely outdated. The equipment is old, ventilation is poor, locker rooms are tiny. Staff I have no complaints about; very courteous. Unless this gym goes through a move/​major update we’ll be making the long drive back to Southfield or switch to another location as home base. Looking forward the Utica location opening.

I’ve been a member for 4+ yrs. I love this gym… and the franchise. Clean, friendly, plenty of machines and for only $ 20/​mth! There is unlimited tanning, too. There aren’t any extras here — pool/​spa/​etc. But, I never wait for equipment (treadmill, elliptical, crosstrainer…). There is also a 30 minute circuit training area.
They do have fitness classes, but I’ve never joined one.
Overall, great value for the small monthly investment in myself!
