1 /5 Hassan Mehdi: Easily the worst Planet Fitness location I’ve been to. I’m a Black Card member and regularly visit different locations across multiple states, so I have a solid point of comparison — and this one was just disappointing all around.
First thing I noticed: the lockers were filthy. I tried several and they were all visibly dusty — clearly not cleaned regularly.
I visited between 5:30–7:30 PM, which is peak time at most PF gyms. Usually, there’s great energy, lots of people working out — but this place was practically empty. No vibe, no motivation. Just felt dead.
Then came the real issue. A staff member came up to me and said, “This time it’s fine, but next time you need to wear something more covered.” I was shocked. I was wearing a black Men’s Cut Off Muscular Tank Top (check the photo, nothing revealing — full coverage to the neck, just open sides) and sweatpants. Ive worn this same outfit at many other PF locations and never once had a problem.
Minutes later, I saw two women working out in sports bras and leggings — and the same staff member walked right past them without saying a word. So apparently, a guy in a muscular tank is a problem, but a sports bra is fine?
Planet Fitness claims to be a “Judgement Free Zone,” but this felt like the exact opposite.
Now I understand why this location is so empty. This was my first — and definitely last — visit here. I’ll be sticking to the other, better-managed PF gyms from now on.
