Planet Fitness Management and staff issues and overall customer service

My complaint starts on November 8th of 2022 I am a regular at this particular gym in NH and I was getting ready for my last cardio machine which is the treadmill when the speed button got stuck somehow and it just kept rising as far as.96 speed. I ultimately fell off the treadmill because it malfunctioned. I tried to put my feed on the side of the treadmill but didn't work and I feel backwards into the fence and that fence pushed me forward onto my stomach and my chin hit the bottom of the treadmill. I was pretty close to the customer service desk, so I was pretty shocked that not one employee came to help me. I had a few customers who helped me but that was about it. After I got my composer, I went to the desk to file a complaint/accident report and too much of my surprise they don't do anything like that! The staff member just jotted my number down and said that the manager will be in touch with me. I wrote exactly what happened to me and I handed it to the worker. I then left very sore and very discouraged over the fact that the staff was not concerned at all and felt that my concerns were not met. I then went to the urgent care the next morning due to bad bruising on my arms and legs and my lower back. I need to make sure nothing was broken. I then proceeded to go back to the gym to speak with the manager as he wasn't there the night before. I had to wait for him to come out of a meeting and I then explained to him what happened exactly happened the night before. Manager was very upset with me, and I was very confused because I was the member who got very hurt and felt he should be showing concern instead of anger. I will let everyone know what happened to me at planet fitness and what they didn't do for me after this malfunction. I'm so disappointed in this company in general even the claims department hasn't been very good it's been over 4 months and I'm not even close to knowing the outcome of this claim. Very bad Gym I will give my money to a new Gym that cares about their members well-being. I have all documentation of what happened to me, and I will give it to anyone who wants to listen to me.

Desired outcome: To do what is right.!!

Planet Fitness Filthy and broken machines

I made a complaint to PF in Plantation, FL about how filthy the gym was and the 5-6 broken machines. All but one of the machines were quickly repaired. Some cleaning was done but now reverted back to not cleaning. Machines are still filthy with dust and dirt. Staff socialize around the front desk while cleaning stations don’t have sanitizer or towels.

Desired outcome: Keep floors, bathrooms & machines clean. Repair machines within 1-2 weeks. Check cleaning stations on a regular basis. Have 2 bottles of sanitizer at each station in case it disappears. Staff should stop congregating around the front desk.

Planet Fitness Staff at planet fitness Niles Ohio

On 3-8-23 on or around 2:45 I was exiting the tanning booths and was approached by a friendly pf team member that I’ve talked to many times in her short career there.

Ya see I’ve been going to Pf since before the original Nile’s pf was finished, took a break and went back at it still at pf.

Anyway I was approached by her and she said

“You can’t have this in here” and pointed at my concealed firearm bc she seen me with my shirt unbuttoned in the tanning room. I don’t shut the door till I’m ready to get naked.

THEN this pipsquike came over to give her back up or something, he just stood there with his hands behind his back like a hard a$$.

I felt enalianated (or however you spell it) then it was as if he was walking me out like a harda$$.

ITS 2023 PROP 215 HAS BEEN PASSED IN OHIO.

EVERYONE SHOULD CARRY THAT IS ALLOWED..!

I bet when the next mass shooting goes down you will be glad you are beside me.

And maybe [censored]es wouldn’t go in and shoot up a place if they thought..

“”Hmmm somebody might be armed in there, let’s think twice about this””

Get used to guns…!

If you’re a good person there your friend.

As I said it’s 2023…you have no

“no firearms” sign on your window.

And some people follow the law..

And Ohio law states that the firearm needs to be in a locked compartment in a locked car..

Or improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle if it’s just in a locked car.

And I’m not catching a charge because somebody was butthurt.

I’ve carried every time I’ve been at planet fitness, it’s just getting warmer out and I’m wearing less clothes and I had my shoulder holster on.

Nothing has happened except pf had some extra protection on a mass shooting.

I’ve been going to Pf for over 10 years and I do not want to have to change what I do and wear everyday to appease somebody else.

And quite frankly I refuse..

10 year member…….

I get some pull here.

That is we’re my firearm is located.

Planet Fitness Air Quality

This is in regard to the Lexington SC location. After several days of no A/C it was explained to me today that the A/C problem had been fixed over the weekend and the current indoor temperature is no registering at 69 degrees. All things being equal that would put the locker room temperature at approx. 59 degrees given the desparity that existed last week. SOMEONE needs to check out this entire system as to it's efficacy or risk losing memberships under the current conditions.

Desired outcome: Review and fix the intolerable A/C

Planet Fitness Gym service

Located in: Wesley Chapel Crossing

Address: 2460 Wesley Chapel Rd, Decatur, GA 30035, United States

Hours:

Open ⋅ Closes 7 pm

Confirmed by this business 6 weeks ago

Phone: +[protected]

I signed up for membership in late december,2023 and was told that I would be charged a signup fee, then $10 per month. I said Great, I offered to just pay the annual up front, and they said that was not an option. You would think that that would be a sensible option as a business to have customers prepay, but maybe thats just me. Anyway, I fill out the form, and noticed that they required two methods of payment. I was very suspicious, but anyway, I provided my credit card, and bank account details.

Every month since then, I have been charged the monthly fee, $10 and a late fee $15. This basically makes my monthly fee 25$ per month. I have sent multiple emails requesting a resolution, and they tell me that I have incorrectly entered my bank info. I then say, Hypothetically, lets go with that, so why then not just charge the credit card immediately if that one fails? She said well they try a few days later. This "a few days later" Is to ensure that you become late, so they can "legitimately" claim that you were late.

I verified the banking info, and used a different BOA routing number, the following month, and they still illigitimately bill me again.

I truly enjoy working out, but if you can bill me a late fee with no issues, why not then make that the primary method of payment?

I am available to discuss this and provide receipts for anyone that needs verification [protected] ask for MJ

When I go to discuss the issue with someone in the gym, twice i was told to send an email with my concerns. The email decatur.[protected]@planetfitness.com may go unanswered for weeks.

Management is a joke, If they respond, their response is basically after reviewing , everything looks fine. This is very infuriating.

Desired outcome: I dont even care for a refund. Just let me pay one time up front for the year, or stop the late fee scam.

Planet Fitness Healthclub

I've been going to Plabet Fitness for about 7-8 years. It has allowed me to travel & still keep up with fitness. I was in an auto accident & injured last year now just working on rehab. They have been a pretty good club except for the harassment from their employees & their using of chemical sprays when I'm in the dressing or showers. These chemicals make me dizzy & nauseated. I've talked to management repeatedly to no avail. The Arlington Rd in Arlington VA is the worst. The minute I'm in the restroom employees follow & grab cleaning cart with sprays. Eric Pieorola is the worst manager does not care about numbers or any complaints. His response to my last complaint was to ban me from his club stating I was harassing employees. One of his employees sprayed a chemical that made me dizzy on contact. When I asked her if what she sprayed she walked away...then she said she didnt...then she said it was someone else. Eventually she came back & said ishower cleaner but looking in the showers there was a white clump on the wall with hair, a black ball of something on floor...pretty sure she hadn't cleaned. This club is OK for being clean. But the attitudes the gossip & the comments placed in the shared data base about me as well as other members is outrageous & a violation of FCRA rules. The chemicals used also have warnings on them stating burning of skin, possible blindness etc I took photo. I repeatedly asked them not to clean before I shower. They don't rinse chemicals off...it's dangerous. Eric has a gang mentality caring about money aspect of club. Their no judgment free zone doesn't work at this location he's a mean person. I have been followed had questions about whether they have cameras in their restrooms. For the price most clubs are good...been cross country. Not the Arlington location. Slanderous, damaging, uncomfortable.

Desired outcome: Remove negative comments stop harassment & chemicals

Planet Fitness Why only about half of the tvs in the Kennett Square facility are working for the last few months.

I'm a member of the Kennett Square, PA Planet Fitness and roughly about half of the tvs are not working for the past few months. Every time I inquire about it, the staff says that they are in the process of getting some more and that they can't get a contract for someone to fix them. If you happen to work out on the one side of the gym where most of the treadmills, bikes, ellipticals, and stairmasters are located, this section only has 1 working tv.

Desired outcome: I would like the tvs to work.

Planet Fitness Membership

Two weeks ago today I sent the below email; I would like the courtesy of a reply.
From: Walker, John D.
Sent: Monday, February 13, 2023 6:55 AM
To: Chris.[protected]@pfhq.com
Subject: Feel exploited

To Whom It May Concern,

I am a 67 year-old disabled veteran who stopped in at your Bakersfield (California Ave), California facility on the morning of February 4th. I explained that I was on my way to Palo Alto for the next 4 weeks and that I would be traveling throughout the country teaching for most of the year. I saw President Rondeau on Mad Money with Jim Cramer and explained to the individual at the Planet Fitness desk that I was possibly interested in joining Planet Fitness due to availability throughout the country. I was told, not once but twice, that my membership was good throughout the United States. Lo and behold, I was denied entrance to the Planet Fitness in Milpitas on Ranch Drive. The individual at the Planet Fitness desk in Milpitas stated that my membership was only good in Bakersfield, a city I have only spent one night in while traveling. The individual who signed me up in Bakersfield needs some better training.

Please explain to me my options. I have no plans of ever being in Bakersfield again.

Desired outcome: As I told the person that stole more than a week's worth of fitness from me, and now you've stolen another two week's of fitness from me, I want a membership that is good throughout the U.S. for eleven months.

Planet Fitness Unsafe guests - no protocol

On 2/24 starting at about 9:40am, at the West Dundee location there was a verbally aggressive man who was getting into multiple people faces & yelling at them. He even approached a woman, who happened to be a Navy personnel & told her “you are a piece of sh** little girl”. As someone with PTSD triggered by violent men, I had a panic attack for 30+ minutes at the gym. The manager on duty said there’s nothing he can do because he doesn’t know the guys name to send him an email. Even though the guy was within eye sight of him where he could have asked him. But he said since he did not physically hurt anyone there’s nothing he can do. The man was lapping around the gym trying to intimidate people. He was a large man and visually intimidating. Multiple people expressed their concern about this man. I ended up having to leave, where I drove to another parking lot because I was hyperventilating. Planet fitness it supposed to be a safe zone. You have signs that say it I guys where’s an inappropriate tank top the alarm will go off but you can’t ask someone to leave or call the cops when he’s threatening people? I’ve never felt so unsafe in a gym & before that I loved going there. As a woman (& 2 other women that came forward), I was afraid. I am so upset and let down by your gyms inability to follow through on your “safe zone” policy.

If you check the camera you will see this man targeting multiple people & pacing around the gym in an intimidating manner.

I’m extremely upset, I think there needs to be a specific course of action that takes place in these scenarios.

Hi there, I work at a Planet Fitness in Vancouver, WA and hope I can help in some way. If I'm correct, every franchise works with the Planet Fitness App offered in the Apple store and Google Play store. It's called "Planet Fitness Workouts". You should download that and create an account and use the same email you used to sign up with. If you're unsure of that email you can always ask the front desk and they can tell you what email they have on file. Doing this should sync up your account in the system to your account on the app. If it doesn't sync up, the front desk can sync it up for you by providing you your keytag number. If you still have your physical keytag the number that appears on it would be the keytag they would be providing you so you may not even have to ask them if you still have that physical one. Now if it didn't sync up when you go to log in after you created your account it will bring up a screen that says join and underneath that it'll say already a member. Click already a member and then it'll ask you for your email, your birthdate, and your zip code. Both the email and zip code must be the one that they have on file for you in order for it to manually sync you up. Once everything is synced up and you log into your account the main menu will have an area that says "check in" and that's what you'll click onband scan that barcode every time you check into your location. When COVID hit this was their solution to hands free checking in so I'm sure your location uses it like mine does. Hope this helped. Sorry it was so long..

Planet Fitness 30-minute express circuit and hydro beds

I contacted the manager, Camile, @ the Hazleton, PA club on 2/20 to complain that the 30-min circuit is not, and has not been, monitored and used as designed. People just hang on out 1 machine, go on their phone, and just sit there constantly. I told her my friends & I come daily @ 4:30. She said she would check into it. That same day I went & again, everyone just sitting on the equipment, not rotating - 6 machines with people just sitting there. Your policy clearly states" PF does not set time limits on any piece of equipment WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 30-MIN EXPRESS CIRCUIT. I called Camile again 2/21 & asked for a district manager or boss and she would not give me that information. She was clearly there 2/20 at 5:00 and did not even come back once to check on the room.co-workers of mine are also complaining that room is not being used as it is intended. I've been a member since DAY ONE and can count on my one hand how many times I've completed the circuit. I also asked Camile to monitor the hydro beds because her staff is always behind. Every Thursday for the last 4-weeks, when I clock in for a 5:00 appt, they are running 6-7 minutes behind - on a 10-min bed. They should loose their slot if they are not on time.

Desired outcome: The 30-minute circuit room is used ONLY for people who want to do the circuit. They should not be allowed in the room if they don't want to do the circuit...simple! Staff needs to be on the floor - not all 4 behind the desk

I went to the Compton, CA, Gym (PF) yesterday 2/17/23. After my work-out, I took a shower. The shower was so hot I couldn't stand in it. It burned me and it was as cold. I stood there for some time to the side to allow the water to cool off, it never did. I turned the nozzle to hot, which felt better than cold but it was still very hot. No matter which way...

The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

Planet Fitness Late fees attached to account.

I signed up at the Jackson facility of Planet Fitness to both encourage my wife and son, as well as to assist me with my physical therapy. While going to Physical Therapy and visits with the Doctor, I was not going to the Planet Fitness facility as often as I had wished. My wife was going and with her encouragement, my son had started going as well. At the beginning of January 2023, I was finally able to attend with my family and on arriving at the Jackson Planet Fitness facility I was advised that I was in arrears. I was in disbelief but was advised by the Planet Fitness Employee that there was an issue with the credit card. I was allowed to work out and I assured them that I would be returning to correct the matter.

On January 9th, 2023, I came in to address my account arrears I was then also advised about the late fees. I explained to the Planet Fitness staff member that I had not been notified until my previous visit to the facility. I further explained that the credit card I used with Planet Fitness was closed out due to fraudulent purchases that had been made by someone in California. He waived the late fees that had accumulated. The receipt is dated January 9th, 2023, and shows the late fee removal with the payment of 30 dollars on the printed receipt.

There was a further issue that I could not address from home, to remove the previous credit card and add the new one. It seems that Planet Fitness has changed its policy to only debit payments from bank accounts. This is a serious issue. I have a number of letters advising me to watch over my accounts because this website has been breached or the company lost its laptop with our information on it. Or the bank's credit card company’s customer information being breached. My objection to this is Identity theft and having a website with that information being breached is a loss of all my monies to pay my bills, including planet fitness! I was assisted by the Planet Fitness staff in getting the old card removed and the new one replaced it.

On February 14th going over the January 9th, 2023’s receipt for Planet Fitness and attempting to reconcile it with the credit card company, I find that I could not reconcile the transaction. Instead, I found transactions posted on January 10th,2023. One for $73.57 and another transaction for $10.66. None of which matched my receipt. I called the number on the Planet Fitness receipt and was connected to Marry the manager at the Jackson Location. Explaining the details of what had happened. She advised that she could not square it because she could not track it as it was. She advised that in order to review it, she had to cancel the previous transactions and go over it again. She advised that the yearly maintenance fee was included in the payments. That seems to be an issue as well since you do not have transparency

Mary the manager at the Jackson, New Jersey Planet Fitness could/would not remove the late fees and advised that I would have to speak with corporate since Jackson was not a franchise but under the corporation and provided me with the number and to the 3rd party billing office. I have gone to the corporate customer service number that was provided and was on hold for more than 28 minutes with directions to hold on interlaced with go to the website and take care of it there. I went to the website and filled out three communications with Planet Fitness and received canned messages indicating they do not handle franchise issues and deal with the Facility. Jackson Planet Fitness states that they are part of the corporation.

I need assistance in this matter.

Desired outcome: Late fees waived

I wrote a letter as requested. A form sent by them to freeze the membership. This is outrageous and unethical.

I want this membership permanently cancelled and not to be billed monthly everywhere. I want this in writing from them forthwith.

Planet Fitness Nasty dirty gym, floors have not been cleaned all year it appears

I travel the country with my job. I enjoy going to planet fitness because generally I get a deal at this gym. Here in Eagle Pass, Texas. I have never seen a gym floor so disgusting in my life. I have never seen anyone mop the floor here in my few weeks I have been staying here. I also have never seen so many employees sit up at the desk and eat and text the entire time and never clean weights. This is the complete opposite of planet fitness I am used too. I have pictures of about an inch of dirt on the floors as well if regional management wants to call me as well. Dumbbells clearly have never been cleaned. My old neighbor was a manger of planet fitness back in South Dakota and his gym is 1000 percent cleaner with staff constantly wiping equipment down.

Desired outcome: clean the gym, greet people, get off your cell phones and look up at people. when asked when your going to clean the gym , dont' say I don't know and go back to texting on your phone and eating burgers by the computers

I have the same complaint at my Planet Fitness in Plantation, Florida. I made a complaint to my local gym about how filthy the gym was and all the broken machines. After I made that complaint 5 of the 6 machines that had been broken for months were repaired in about 2 weeks but one machine still has not been repaired and it has been broken for about 4 months. They also did some cleaning, but now they reverted back to not cleaning. The staff socialize around the front desk, laughing and lollygagging and talking on their cell phones while the cleaning stations don’t have sanitizer or towels. The bathrooms are filthy, and sometimes don’t even have soap. They have a constant turnover of staff, but the good ones go and the bad, lazy ones stay.

Planet Fitness I went into my local planet fitness and cancelled my membership over 10 years ago and they are still collecting money from me.

I stopped going.into planet fitness in 2011. I am guilty of not checking my banking statements as I am single and teach school for a living. A year ago, I contacted the Waterville, Maine branch to complain and spoke with a manager named Craig. Craig pulled up my account and could see that I was being charged monthly for 2 accounts; one for $19.99 and the other for $10. He said that he would look into it and get back to me...he never did.

Fast forward another year. Understand this...I have a very demanding job that doesn't end when I come home but while looking at my bank statement in January, I again saw that

Desired outcome: I wasn't finished with my story but I would like tombe reimbursed for at LEAST 10 years of money that has been taken from me--after I ended my membership!
