Planet Fitness – Henrietta

Great place for a morning workout. It gets kind of crazy in the evening but if you find a routine with open equipment that works for you then you should be just fine. I really like that there are few «meatheads» and more on the side of active middle age — elderly clientel. I’ve only been a member since December but can’t find enough good things to say about that staff, cleanliness and variety of equipment. The only two issues I have are the size and cleanliness of the locker rooms particularly the showers and the lack of open space for stretching and warm ups/​cool downs. Overall, the GM Emine, as well as the team, do a great job running the place.

The staff is amazing. Rochelle is the manager and since she has taken over the place has improved dramatically. Brooke is an excellent trainer and Sam and Sarah give excellent customer service. The hot water tanks failed but since they were replaced, the hot water is excellent. The locker rooms are extra clean and the equipment is updated and modern. Plenty of paper towels. Only problems I see is that the weekends are not ²⁴⁄₇ and the gym will not accommodate kids under 13.

This is one of the worse gyms I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. Their «trainer» has no idea what he is doing. I explained to him that I had a heart condition and due to osteoporosis I had severe arthritis and bone on bone in both my knees. I had to lose 40 pounds before I could have knee surgery. My orthopedic said nothing but low impact exercise. The trainer put me on the treadmill and insisted I do the stepping on the interval training. I trusted this «expert“and unfortunately I injured my knee worse, tearing ny ACL and tearing my meniscus. It was so bad I could barely walk. My sister took my request for cancellation into the Webster NY gym where we had joined. Shortly after that I had to move my belongings into storage when I moved in with my fiancé. Well they never cancelled and I just realized that they have been charging my account yhe whole time. My bad for not paying more attention. But when they charged me $ 39 for a renewal I never requested, which is what alerted me, well it was the last straw. Not only did their trainer misguided me but they have essentially been stealing $ 19.99 a month from me for several months. I’m severely disabled and I only get $ 852 a month from social security. They made it so I can’t walk without a cane and have made me unable to do much in the way of exercise. The manager Nate was rude and completely unhelpful. I discovered from calling corporate that this site is privately owned. Nate said it was owned by corporate. Another lie. He said my. membership was not cancelled. A lie. I’ve called and complained to Eric Schneiderman NYSE Attorney General. I’ll talk to a lawyer as well.

I have good and bad experiences here.
Good experiences usually happen when there are less people at the gym. I get to do what I want when I want to.
Bad experiences usually happen when there are just too many people. It happens but sucks.
There are every type of gym personality here. Including an old naked guy who doesn’t gaf haha.
I always wonder why they have so many treadmills down though. People have to wait to use one?

Have no complaints except for the fact that some people need to work out later Friday and Saturdays. Closing at 9 not convienant at all! Needs later hours for the people that have to fit things in on the weekends too!
Clean facility enjoy the huge selection of equipment! No wait time ever. Stay open for us people that need that weekend time and id give y’all 5 stars.

I’ve been working out here for a couple of years and for the most part this is a great gym. It has more than enough equipment for me to get really good exercise. I never have to wait for machines and it has everything I need.

Ample machines, although there are always people who stay on them much longer than they should. I don’t mean they should limit their workouts, I mean they should go elsewhere if they’re just going to sit on the machines and talk to their friends. Other people are trying to work out, too! Staff has always seemed friendly.

Just gonna say it straight out: I’m a big fan of Planet Fitness. There are ample machines everywhere (both cardio and standard weight machines), they allow you to do olympic lifting, there’s a TON of space and you never really have to worry about waiting for a machine, it’s only $ 10/​month at the lowest level of membership, and no one’s there to judge you or try and sell you something every time you walk in.
There’s been some problems with other gyms in Rochester throwing too much propaganda in your face, but I feel Planet Fitness is not that way at all. If you just want to go in, get a good workout with really good quality equipment with a friend or on your own without distraction, Planet Fitness is the place — and the price is great too!
Like most gyms though, do remember to bring a lock to lock up your clothes in the locker room, and be sure to take it with you when you leave

No frills and affordable, Planet Fitness pretty much has everything I need in a gym. It’s spacious, clean, full of cardio machines and is practically open all the time. I think it’s the perfect gym for anyone on a tight budget. Looking at my 12-​month contract, I paid $ 99. You really can’t beat $ 9/​month and while most people (including myself) are able to spend more on a gym membership, I don’t really find the need to spend more.
I am by no means a gym rat or muscle-​head, but being a foodie takes it’s toll on the body. I pretty much go to Planet Fitness in an attempt to maintain a BMI of about 26 (still overweight) and to keep up with my cardio. Most people eat to live. I mostly live to eat and work-​out in order to eat more. So Planet Fitness serves this purpose well.
I visit at the busiest of times and still find a treadmill easily. Along with the 15+ treadmills, there is an equal number of elliptical machines, 7+ stationary bikes and 7+ AMTs. All the treadmills and ellipticals have individual TVs. There are also a wide variety of weight machines and dumbbells ranging all the way up to 75 lbs.
If you routinely work-​out with heavier dumbbells or other free weights, then Planet Fitness may not be for you. I believe there are only 2 bench press racks, 1 leg press rack and 2 multipurpose power racks. They also have only one curl bar. For the size of the gym, there is disproportionately small amount of free weights as compared to cardio equipment. Everything is available, but you will probably find yourself waiting on busy days to use the free weights. For the cardio and weight machines, there is hardly ever a wait.
At under $ 10/​month you miss out on a lot of luxuries. Planet Fitness has limited to no fitness classes, no pool and no basketball court. While some other people may poke fun at PF for being a gym catered to half-​assed occasional gym-​goers (which is probably true for any gym), I believe it’s a very viable option for the self-​motivated individual whose primary focus is cardio and secondarily free weight training. Just try not to go on the first Monday of the month, when free pizza is served, or else your workout will be for naught.

GLOW: decent music.
Lots of machines!
Plenty of TVs, space & parking
30 minute circuit is larger than other locations (Greece comes to mind)
GROW: it’s way too cold in here. Some machines are «out of order»
It’s rather dim!
Not my favorite gym.

Joe has a PF Black card, so we were able to visit this Planet Fitness while up in Rochester. Very nice! It was way less crowded than the one in the Bronx and the treadmills have mini TVs right on the machine!!!
They also have a stretching device (that sounds so violent!) that my gym doesn’t have. It’s like this big jungle gym thing you hang from. Loved it.
Kid behind the counter was super sweet. I liked that they didn’t make me give them my driver’s license as a guest, which the one in the Bronx does (to my endless annoyance).
Would visit here again! Just wish it was more conveniently located for Rochester (it’s out in Henrietta)

Just went here for the day to workout as I am visiting family and from another state. It cost $ 15 for a one time pass, pricey but pretty much par for the course at most gyms. While the place was huge and has tons of cardio, I was very disappointed to see the free weight area. It’s tiny relative to the rest of the facility and the heaviest dumbbells I saw were 75 lbs. I only weigh 155 lbs and frequently use 100 lb dumbbells in my routines. I am assuming this is because they dont want «lunks» dropping weights on the floor as they have some alarm thing that apparently goes off. Seems silly to limit 95% of the members just because of a small minority don’t follow gym etiquette, but whatever. So if you are looking for a good place to lift, I cannot recommend… otherwise it’s fine.

Lunk alarm really? This gym kicks you out if you know how to workout. This is ridiculous. Free Pizza Fridays? Donut Mondays At a Gym??? Go else where.

The $ 10 a month craze on gym memberships is upon us, and this Planet Fitness definitely delivers. You are only limited to this location for that price level, but that’s ok, it’s the closest one to me anyway. Plus the hours are a huge convenience when you are just feelings that urge to run or pump some iron (ok, Arnold). It’s open 24 hours from Monday at midnight until 9pm on Friday, and 7 to 7 on weekends. Most other gyms and fitness clubs can’t come close to that!
This place is absolutely massive, and makes anytime of the day feel like it’s not crowded. Having 40+ ellipticals, and 40+ treadmills eliminates the need to wait or put your name on a list. The treadmills have personalized TVs, so can’t complain with that. They also have a varied amount of machines, and a cool work out cycle with a stop light to let you know when to start and stop.
The free weight section has about ten benches, and a few sets of each. I enjoy the air horn that goes off when someone drops weights hard onto the ground even though it scares me every time! The locker room is clean, however it smells, not going to lie. But $ 10 a month is worth it the convenience and the location of this gym.
