Planet Fitness – Jenkintown

Great price $ 10 a month $ 39 annually depends on the special that week, the place is super clean and friendly staff bonus u get free 15 minute sessions with their personal trainer, they only have fun but he’s flexible he don’t work on weekends

Beware the contract fine print. There is a $ 39.00 annual fee on top of the monthly fee. Disagreeable front staff. Bye– Bye

I wish they have more free weights like an Olympic Bar for squats and dead lifts !!!

This is a great gym. Aside from the amazing rates you usually get at PF, this place is very accommodating.
It’s never too crowded, and if it is, people tend to be respectful and share machines and equipment. The gym has two floors which basically supplies twice the cardio equipment of most PFs.
I can assure you they clean the gym because I’ve been there at some erratic hours when they probably would assume people would not come in, and they’re mopping every inch of the floor, wiping down machines.
You can get the $ 10/​$ 20 rate at any PF, but you’re really getting great value at the one on The Fairway.

Solid, Clean and Great Staff. Great Gym

I this planet fitness. nice staff. Nice ppl and spacious and even when it’s crowded you have room to workout. It’s a surplus of equipment so you don’t have to wait on ppl to get off off the equipment to use it! If you live in the area and your looking for a nice gym come here!

Good clean gym with friendly staff. Can’t really beat $ 20 a month for elite membership. Busy times seem to be 5−8pm but even then you don’t realky have to wait long fir equipment. Haven’t been a planet fitness member before but it’s interesting that they seem to having tanning beds at all their locations. Haven’t used them yet but maybe in the winter if my lack of a tan gets depressing…
The amazing thing is that it’s right next to a froyo place – that’s going to make me want to work out a lot more in the future:)

This is a well maintained gym. They could add a few more machines as there is still a lot of space. $ 10 a month is still a great deal.

Considering the cost is only $ 10-​$ 20 per month, this membership is well worth it! The gym is clean, staff is friendly, and equipment is great. I like the option to hook up my ear buds to the TV audio. I never have to wait for equipment, even during peak hours. The wifi is pretty spotty and they don’t offer classes, but it was definitely a great choice to join this gym, especially for the price.

This gym is well maintained, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Most of the equipment looks new. I’ve been to a lot of gyms and this one stands out.
No Planet Fitness is going to satisfy a dedicated free weight enthusiast however that’s not the target market or this national chain. This a great place for a cardio workout.
The music is at a reasonable level. I didn’t use the WiFi but the signal was strong. If I lived in the area I’d consider making this my regular gym. I worked out free on a ‘Black Card’ membership while traveling, avoiding the sad little workout room in the hotel.

This place is awesome!
I just joined about a week ago and I have gone several times now.
1. I love that the gym has lots of space to work out with so many different machines. You never have to wait to use a machine!
2. I never feel judged or scrutinized.
3. I like the options of being able to check out different shows on all of their tv screens
4. The monthly rates are awesome
5. You can’t argue with unlimited chair massage and hydromassages
6. The staff are friendly and personable
7. I love that it’s ²⁴⁄₇!
8. I always felt intimidated when trying to use the machines to work your arms and legs but Planet Fitness has images on the machines with instructions of exactly how to use them which I really appreciate!
I’m not into scheduled classes or hardcore gym rats, which makes this place perfect for me. I love that I can drop by literally whenever I want, work out on the machines, get a massage, and then leave.

I was a bit skeptical when i signed up for this place. But after having been there many times I have come to realize it truly is a unique spot to get your fitness on at. Lots of cardio equipment and a solid spot to do your abs and stretching in. Tanning beds are clean and the bulbs are fresh. The customer service is usually pretty good. Then again, I am there to sweat not socialize. The only reason I gave this place 4 instead of 5 stars was the free weight selection is very limited. Other than that it’s a great place to get your gym and tan on.

The wifi is extremely unreliable! Staff are friendly, when you can find them. Facilities are sometimes clean. Cleaning supplies aren’t always attended to.
My biggest beef is with the inadequate wifi. I like to stream media when working out. Please fix!

Love working out late at night! Way better equipment and hours then LA Fitness. Only 10 dollars a month. You can’t beat that

This is the only gym I’ve ever LOVED. Honestly, who really loves a gym?
I recently joined this PF location after going with my friend to the Adams Ave PF a few times. I didn’t mind that location, but the Jenkintown PF is closer to my house. Before joining, I checked out the PF in Flourtown as well and when I walked in, it looked really small and crowded. I went around 4 pm so I expected to see the after work crowd, but gees… everyone was cramped on top of each other. That’s so not my style.
So, after a tour at the Jenkintown location (still around after work hours… same crowd, but more space to spread out) I signed up. The place is HUGE. the fact that there is an upstairs with more equipment and a stretching area is great… it means I can go up and go to the very back and feel all alone. Lol. I also like it because its not dreary and dull like the other locations and has lots of windows to let in natural light.
The trainer is awesome. He took his time as we went through the circuit for the first time to make sure I knew how to use the equipment. He was very knowledgeable about the body and how to burn fat and build muscle. He was patient, but put me to work. Best of all, I didn’t feel extra dumb or out of place as I have at other gyms working with Buffy the Body as a trainer.
The only thing I wish they had was a door for the massage chairs and massage tables (I’ve seen like those saloon style doors at other locations). Even though they are around a corner and out of the way, it’s weird to know that if I’m on the table or in the chair, people can just walk by and stare… especially when I’m supposed to be relaxing.
I’m really excited to keep working out at Planet Fitness.

I’m diggin Planet Fitness for a couple of reasons…
1. B/​C the rates are awesome.
2. There is a retirement community right around the corner and when older peeps come in, it makes me feel better about myself, but more importantly b/​c there aren’t overly orangely tanned muscle heads making me feel self-​conscious.
3. They just opened a frozen yogurt shop next door ;)
My only complaint and this isn’t really that much of a biggie considering it’s January and everyone is on about their NYE Resolutions is that some of the equipment gets rather full, but other than that I am a fan!

Simple, cheap, and efffective for a solid workout. I would go ahead with the $ 20/​month plan since you forgo the $ 59 sign up fee, and you can bring someone else with you to split the cost if you want. Only problem I have with it is that there are only smith machines and no free barbells. This is fine for almost all excercises except for barbell bench press and bent over rows, but I make do. AND THERE IS A MASSAGE TABLE. WHOO.

I’ve been a member of this Planet Fitness since the first day. My original home gym was the Adams Ave location, which is too urban for my liking. The staff at the Jenkintown location are super nice. John and Mercedes are always welcoming me to the gym by my name. The location is clean and there’s never a wait for equipment, well as long as its not in the evening. On Sundays it’s not busy also. I say a good staff, no wait, new equipment is all I need to have a great workout.

Horrible customer service! I signed up online to make it easier so that way I could just go in and give them the contract and get a membership card. The first pimply kid at the front desk has to call someone else over because apparently he couldn’t read the contract. The next person tells me that even though I signed up it would take 24 hours to have the system updated. At which time I referred her to the confirmation that said it was complete and that my membership was activated. She said «yeah, I know but you have to wait 24 hours». Ummmmm… I can read, but apparently she can’t. I starting to regret signing up for this location already. We’ll see.

I signed up for a new membership for Plant Fitness on 5÷2÷2012. Since the gym had not opened at the time I signed the membership contract, I specifically asked all 3 individuals who signed me up when they would open and if they would inform new members such as me, the opening date. I was assured that the gym would open no later than May 15^th and that I would be contacted either by email or phone. Even though I submitted to Planet Fitness my home address, phone number, and e-​mail address, I was never informed by anyone at Planet Fitness that they had in fact, opened approximately one and half weeks ago. I confirmed the gym opened a week and half week ago through a phone conversation this afternoon. The guy who answered did not know why new members were never informed of the club opening. Didn’t seem to care either.
However, Planet Fitness was eager to take my $ 19.99 as prorate until June 17^th, until they bill me again another $ 19.99 EVEN though they never informed me of the club’s opening, therefore not having access to a gym I was actively paying for. This treatment is EXTREMELY unprofessional and certainly was not expected of a reputable health club chain such as Planet Fitness. I’m considering cancelling my membership unless I receive an apology and full disclosure why I was never informed of the club’s opening. I was also seek a partial refund of the $ 19.99 I paid on May 2^nd which is a fee from club’s opening (never informed) until June 16^th.
Be careful with this place, as they are off to a rocky start!
