Planet Fitness – Fremont

Great gym for the price, the staff is friendly, the place is clean, locker room is clean, nobody grunting and dropping weights (as that is not allowed) because if people do that im pretty sure that means the weight is too heavy for you. Great friendly people at the gym. Nobody going around thinking there #1 and acting like there the center of attention or best person in the gym. Everybody is nice and calm and there for 1 reason, to get a good workout in not having to worry about other people! The staff is really friendly and helpful as well, any questions you have they will answer, need help? They will help you. Been going here for about 3 years and have never had any regrets about being a member. Ive been off and on due to being lazy but after a huge kick of motivation for my future career, Planet Fitness was my first option to go to to get into shape. Told some friends about this gym and they love it as much as i do.

So I have been coming to this gym off and on ever since I was 19 years old (So about 7 years now) and for $ 10/​month you really can’t beat it. There is a ton of cardio machines and a lot of supplemental machines. The free weights section isn’t as large as I would like but is still very spacious. As for the dumbasses who complain about not being able to grunt while you work out, if you can’t lift a weight without sounding like your going super Saipan than guess what? The weight is too heavy for you. Also, if you have to drop the weight because you aren’t strong enough to control it all the way through the lift motion, the weight is too heavy for you. Yea it sucks that deadlifts are not allowed, get over it. It’s a great gym with really down to Earth employees and people aren’t walking around pretending to be models or bodybuilders.

I’ve been coming here for a while now and this is a great gym! They have a lot of cardio machines, weight machines, useful massage chairs and hydro massage beds. The staff is great. I have the platinum membership, so that allows me to bring an extra person (friend, family or coworkers) and I get 50% off of drinks. And, I also get 20% off reebok merchandise (even at outlets). Every first Monday of the new month, they provide free pizzas and fruits! That’s amazing!

If i could give no star that would be better. I can’t believe how this gym is so not professional. 2 months ago i came with my friends and the guy didn’t just let me go in like that but instead asked me 20 dollar for a day and i was shocked as my gym always let my friends in with me one time. so i paid the 20 as he said that i can keep the receipt and come back anyday anytime i want and if i change my mind from my own gym i can use this credit towards signing up for planet fitness so that was a good idea. I told him i am not going to be coming any sooner then 2 or 3 months as my membership expires in 2 months he said that’s totally fine. So today i walk in with the receipt i was holding on to and this person who said was manager was tells me right away that she cant do that I explained the whole thing to her and she says «the person doesn’t work here anymore so i cant do anything if someone told you something wrong and he’s gone» like really? I requested her to talk to someone else because why would i hold on to receipt and waste my 20 bucks for a day. She keeps telling me she cant then finally she calls and after 2 min she tells me that her general manager says that we cant do anything about it and we cant help you. Oh my god like really? First of all being a manager you should have offered me some kind of help i had the receipt with me lady so she should have atleast signed me up waiving my first month dues. I told her i came here ready to workout today. What a shaddy way to do business planet fitness.

I’m a bit disappointed about this location. There are machine missing compared to the one from hayward. The gym across (city sport) always get my attention when I go to the Fremont location.

I checked out 24 hours first since my Kaiser pays for it. then I checked out planet fitness and here I am. at planet finess 6 months latter. the place is super. I just love the staff. Dan who is the manager in day time is so super and very helpful. I know one thing that this place is so clean. and it smells fresh. no sweaty smell. I rate this place 10 stars

You can’t even claim to workout if you go to a planet fitness. This place serves free pizza and bagels. So you see people on their Ipads in 1 hand and pizza in the other. If you actually care about workout, go anywhere else.

Very disappointed in their customer service. First of all to cancel you can’t just call. Oh that would be too easy. Go online? Nope. You either have to go in or send a certified letter?! Seriously??? After being charged month after month even after we moved I finally got around to sending this certified letter. Still got charged this month and now they’re telling me it’s because they didn’t receive the letter by the 10^th of the month. Did they tell me that when I called??? NO. I feel scammed. Will never give them any of my business again.

After 18 months (Membership Deal) of going to this place to workout, my membership finally expired yesterday July 16, 2015, 3 days after my birthday. And did I know it expired? No. Who has time to keep track of their membership, not even for a year.
So today, I went to workout at this gym, without any heads-​up of the embarrassing moment about to transpire. I received no calls, nor email about the expired membership.
So I went in, no one at the desk, I scanned my membership card and went straight to the locker room, nothing unusual. Was ready to warm-​up and headed to the treadmill. I was setting it up when the gentleman from the front-​desk approached me. He called my name and told me that my membership expired. I then asked when the membership expired and he told me so. I asked him if its possible that I can workout first and deal with the membership later, but he politely said, due to the expired membership, I am not even allowed to enter the facility. So I then calmly and politely went to the desk and he showed me the membership options. I wasn’t prepared nor have the time to deal with it so I decided to leave and signed-​up a 3-​day free trial with 24-​Hour Fitness instead and eventually just buy a 2-​year membership at Costco.
That’s what I get after being a loyal customer of Planet Fitness for more than 3 years (Hayward and Newark locations). Appreciation of long-​time members comes a long way.

beware of your personal items being stolen!
my locker’s lock was broken into while i was working out at the gym last night on 6÷22÷15, the person stole cash from my wallet, my membership key-​chain, my car key and took my car!
planet fitness has almost no security /​protection for my lost as it is part of their policy
the problem is they only got one indoor video camera and nothing outdoor.
THEY SERIOUSLY DO NOT VALUE THE SAFETY OF THE CUSTOMERS
it took fremont police two hours to report to the scene and then the police tried to retrieve the video footage but the footage timer was way off. police spent 20 minutes and was still not able to exact locate the footage from when i checked into the gym then the officer gave up looking at it.
for people that have been leaving your car key in your locker or front desk tray i strongly suggest you not to leave your keys there anymore BECAUSE the video camera isn’t even pointing in the area where you leave your keys with them!!!
there is just no way i will be coming back to workout with planet fitness again.

Staff are friendly and proactive with ensuring the facility is clean.
Plenty of available cardio machines. And extra amenities– massage chai
I’d give a 5^th star if they use the lunk alarm and re-​locate the stair climbers. I’ve been going to this gym for a little over a month and have never heard the lunk alarm go off and there have been incidents where I’ve considered asking to sound it off. Now the stair climbers, can it be moved to the side rather than along the aisle? Currently, they’re in the center and well, they block the view to the tvs.

I’ve been going here since late December and also tried a couple of gyms. The only thing I don’t like about this place is a lot of people don’t really look like they’re motivated to work out and you can’t grunt or drop weights or else the alarm will go off which for me is kinna ‘meh’ because I want to be able to push limits when I train and what happens when you train hard? You’ll prolly end up grunting or dropping weights and that is not allowed here. So for me it’s pretty much a gym for people who doesn’t go that heavy or can lift heavy without making a sound. It’s a good starter gym tho. The workers here are nice and friendly. I am knocking off two stars because I can’t really train hard here.

My husband will give me the evil eye for this… but don’t walk in here for assistance in your account. This review is solely on their customer service and not in their gym and/​or facility. I came in to make some changes to the billing on the account and they were unable to help me. I had to contact my bank to make the changes that I needed. I guess that’s what I get for a $ 15 monthly membership.

Thanks to a few Unilocalers here, I made my decision to finally join a gym after having been gym-​less for 6 years. I like to do things in person so I drove to this location after work, which is conveniently across the street from my house (I could’ve walked, but I’m glad I drove). I spoke with Justin at the front desk on Tuesday who was so helpful in getting me set up for my membership. I had forgotten my checking account information so I told him I’d be back in 10 minutes and when I came back, he still had a smile on his face welcoming me to the gym! They currently have this promotion until the 31^st of March where you pay $ 0 down. He broke down my monthly statement and the annual fee which comes in June and I was just happy I didn’t have to pay anything out the door! And this was for the Black Card membership $ 20 a month so I get to go to any PF location, bring a friend once a day, and use their massage chairs & whatnot.
Yesterday was my first day back in a gym for a workout. They gave me my black card, took my picture and I was well on my way to starting. Each machine was well kept and cleaned down by each person using it. I love that people actually have the common courtesy to wipe down the machine after using it. I know when I used to go to 24 HR Fitness, I saw nobody ever wipe down the machine after using it. Supposedly there’s a lunk alarm, but I didn’t hear it at all yesterday. Locker rooms are clean and even though it’s a small location, you still have some personal space from other people. Love this gym and I can’t wait to keep up the workouts!

This is where Jonna B. and I go to get our Hanz and Franz on. If you want to look like Arnold and get pumped or work off that greasy pizza and brewskies, this is the place to do it. Just don’t go to crazy and drop any weights or you will set off the lunk alarm. I’m not sure what happens if you do, but I don’t want to find out. The membership is inexpensive and you can perspire for free.
The only annoying thing about this location is they offer tootsie rolls for free and folks leave the wrappers in the cup holders of machines. If your going to sling the candy PF, at least clean up the wrappers!

This is my go to gym for both price and convenience. Like many other people have said, this place might not have to best equipment or large amount of weight but it does have what it needs for those who want to lose weight or build up muscle. And for the price you pay comparing to other gym, there no beating it!
This planet fitness is located in the same plaza as club sport. Parking here is not too bad as there are lots of parking spaces around the gym. I got the black membership which cost me around 20 dollars a month which include me to bring a free guest every time I go to the gym. * I always bring my girlfriend so it is like 20 dollars for 2 people* you also are able to enjoy free usage of the hydro massage bed and chair message as part of your black membership. Please note there is an annual free for planet fitness.
I tend to be a night person when it comes to going to the gym. I do not know how busy it might get during prime hours but when i usually go around 9pm, there are not a lot of people there. There are always free bench to use and plenty of machines for work out.
I do believe they offer free personal training but I never use it so I am not sure how it works. As part of the black membership, you also get a discount on the drinks that are available to purchase there. You can also visit other planet fitness as part of your black membership
Overall, for those who cannot afford to pay high price or want to save some money, planet fitness will be perfect for you.
One of the best things is that planet fitness in Fremont open 24 hours from 5 am on Monday all the way through 9 pm on Friday.

I transferred from Fitness-​19 in Fremont, CA this to Planet Fitness location hoping for a better experience then the former and found it. I have gone to PF before in NYS and enjoyed it and I feel that this location is no different. I basically got what I was paying for, for $ 10.00 a month. The gym was clean, machines were free as long as you didn’t go from 3:30PM-7:00PM (Mon-​Fri) in the afternoon but the staff didn’t seem approachable or friendly. Unlike my NYS gym, I never heard the «LUNK» alarm which was nice and it didn’t seem to be needed; I do remember going to the gym one day when it was over 90 degrees outside and feel like it was over 100 degrees in the gym.
The biggest problem I had with this gym was when I tried to cancel my membership because I am moving back to NYS. I canceled on ⁹⁄₂₉ and was charged the annual fee on ¹⁰⁄₀₁ however, when I cancelled they told me that I would not be charged any other fees and that my date of billing was ⁹⁄₁₇. After being incorrectly billed, I had to speak with four different staff member and have them get approval from their regional manager; thankfully, the charges were reimbursed to my account.

After switching over to 24 Hour Fitness Super Sports, I realized what I’ve been missing out on.
But before listing those out, I’d like to mention that there are pros to going to Planet Fitness. It’s cheap, not too crowded, and has decent service.
As for the cons:
–You can’t be too loud, or the lunk alarm will go off –_​– Come on now…
–Bench press and leg squats aren’t free weights!
–No deadlifting.
Another thing I noticed was that the atmosphere and environment feels totally different from 24. Not saying this applies to everyone, but when I came to Planet Fitness, it didn’t seem like the majority of the people were very motivated to work out. Perhaps it is because the age group is different (more older individuals). Props to them for going to the gym though. Maybe it’s the dark ceiling, walls, and flooring that just puts me in a whatever mood.
Planet Fitness is still cool, but if you got a full time job, think about treating yourself a bit :)
I enjoy going to the Hayward location more!

This is a no frills gym but it’s $ 10/​month. I didn’t want to pay $$ and then end up not going which I have done! The gym itself is not that huge but for me it serves its purpose with plenty of cardio machines and a free weight area that isn’t intimidating. There’s also another area with free weights, mats, and medicine balls.
They signed me up really quickly. I like that they are upfront with the fees. The gym is quite clean even the women’s locker room. There’s an added service of tanning beds and a massage chair while watching tv.
Free wifi in the gym which is a pretty nice feature. Often times I’ll catch up on shows while doing my cardio.

Note: This review is from a standpoint of someone who lifts pretty often (3 – 4 times a week).
Eh. It’s nothing special. You get what you pay for I suppose. $ 10 a month will get you a basic membership and $ 20 a month will get you a black card membership. There are a few perks of getting the black card such as, bringing a friend, tanning access, and some discounts. I don’t get why there’s a tanning bed at a gym. You’re there to work out, not burn your skin. But if you plan on using the stuff that comes with the black card, then I suppose it could be worth it?
Weights here are lackluster. Everything, minus the dumbbells, are all assisted weights. They have machines everywhere. The only real free-​weights are the dumbbells, and they only go up to 75. There are craptons of ellipticals, bikes and treadmills. I’m assuming a lot of people come here to get their cardio rather than lift.
The worst part about Planet Fitness (all of them, not just this one) is the «lunk alarm.» They claim to be a «non-​judgmental» place, but the alarm goes off if someone grunts, drops their weight or «judges.» Do you really need something like that? –_​_​_​– If I read this review out loud, I think I’ll set it off.
Staff here are friendly at least. Haven’t had a problem with them. Only real positive in all this.
I still think going to City Sport or 24 Hour Fitness is better, even if they’re more expensive. You won’t gain much from coming here, but if you’re low on money, I guess this place can do.
