Planet Fitness – Ft. Wayne – Southwest

this is the b’s needs the staff is very friendly any time I need something always try to help very clean love the atmosphere

Clean, not over crowded. Staff is a little disengaged, even when it is not busy or I would have given them a 5. Enjoy the «Black card» benefits after working out.

I joined Planet Fitness this past week. Though I’ve only worked out three times, I’m very impressed with their business model. This is a high-​quality gym for a very reasonable price. The benefits of the Black Card membership convinced me to go with that plan. It’s about 20 bucks a month, with a $ 40 once-​a-​year membership fee which is taken out sometime in June. You can also bring a guest with you every time you work out if you have the Black Card. This is extremely valuable to me!
One of the best things is the sheer number of pieces of equipment. You never have to wait for a treadmill or elliptical. I go during the busiest times (right after work on weekdays) and there are always at least 2 machines available.
The locker rooms are a blessing. They could be a little bit bigger, but they are CLEAN and smell good. This is really important to me. There are plenty of showers and they provide 3 hair drying stations.
The fact that they’re open 24 hours a day is fantastic. The staff seems pretty friendly as well. I haven’t yet used the tanning or massage facilities, but plan on checking it out soon.
I have a couple of things that rub me the wrong way, however. One is the «lunk alarm». This siren goes off if someone is demonstrating «lunkism» or showing off, loud grunting, throwing down weights, etc. This gym prides itself on its inclusiveness and «you belong» and «no judgement» are plastered everywhere. This alarm seems hypocritical, don’t you think? In the same vein is the fact they serve pizza and bagels on every first Monday and Tuesday of the month. I mean, how bizarre??? What? I don’t even… There are also candies over-​flowing at the front desk. I guess it’s job security, in a way… reminds me of providing wine coolers at AA, though.
Nonetheless, it’s a good fit for me and I’m pleased about this investment. I have already recommended it to others.
