Planet Fitness – Irondequoit

This is the only PF that I have gone to but I will say this compared to what I see online and hear from friends who live in other towns the East Irondequoit PF is the worst in the county. It is always clean don’t get me wrong but it’s very small… Compared to the others in the county it is less than an entry level gym… But I digress it’s cheap and a 5 – 10 minute walk from my house and that is definitely a plus for me!

The place is nice but needs improvements. There are few issues:
During the winter, they need to constantly clean the salt on the ground and dry out the lockers from people’s shoes. Water seeps through and ruins clothes.
Most of the TV’s don’t work, don’t have remotes or stuck on one channel. At least get maintenance to fix them.
It’s embarrassing to see signs on the treadmills and other weight machines that says «out of order» for more than a week, let alone months without repair. Please repair your equipment, it’s the number one reason why people go to the gym.
Lastly, a nice hello or goodbye with a smile from the staff goes a long way. I feel like most of them are miserable and aren’t very friendly.

This PF is in surprisingly good shape. I used to go to the one on Dewey Ave, but I work really close to this one, so I transferred memberships. You can’t beat the price!
The machines are clean and actually work, more are working than at Greece. I remember the one at Dewey would always have one or two broken machines, sometimes more. Here, the machines seem to be in good order. I have seen on many occasions employees/​managers going around and vacuuming and cleaning the area, which is nice to see. I don’t think I EVER saw that at the Greece location. The paper towels and disinfectant spray for the machines is always stocked.
It’s rather large and accommodating and there is a vast amount of machines for everybody. Rows of treadmills, ellipticals, stair masters, etc. The front desk has always been helpful and taken my number right away or answered any questions I had about transferring.
It’s a good location, and so far better than the one on Dewey in Northgate Plaza from my experience so far. I am pleasantly surprised. I gave ⁴⁄₅ because some of the treadmills systems for TV are little overused, so the earphone plugs have some static or can be spotty. I’ve only experienced this once, but from reading other reviews it seems common. They must be fixing them quickly, which is good.
I would recommend this location.

Rude staff, dirty equipment, low level gym – equipment are constantly broken and staff take their time fixing it — -staff are hanging out and not working—

Located conveniently near my work on Ridge Road with plenty of parking. $ 10 a month is difficult to beat.
Good sized gym with tread mills, ellipticals, cycles and your basic weight training equipment. They do offer some classes as well but I have personally never taken them. Clean locker rooms and rest rooms. No foul odors or anything. Good ventilation and massive overhead ceiling fans which keep things cool.
Friendly staff. Machines are mostly in good order and they recently got all new treadmills. Personal TV’s and iPod controls available on all treadmills. However at any given time half of the TV’s are not working properly either due to a faulty remote, sound or just the screen is busted. Can be a big deal or not if you need that. I watch Friends and Seinfeld while running so yes it matters to me.
Very busy around 4 pm to 6 pm when people are getting off work and you have to wait for machines. Plenty of free machines at other hours. Open 24 hours on weekdays which is a huge plus for anyone who works nights.
Good basic functional equipment machines and weights in a clean friendly environment for 10 dollars a worth is a steal.
They do have pizza on certain days of the week for customers free of charge which is kinda ironic but hey it’s all about will power to begin with isn’t it. Take it as a challenge ;)

My wife and I love this gym. The membership fees are inexpensive and you can’t beat the hours. The equipment is still in good shape. Friendly staff. All the treadmills are hooked up to TV’s so you can channel surf as you’re working out.

Your basic gym at a decent price.
I’ve been a member at the RAC and now here. And while there are definitely not the classes or amenities the RAC has, this is a good gym for the price. They have PLENTY of equipment whether you want to do cardio or weights. The place is generally clean. There’s a variety of people working out and you really don’t feel out of place regardless of your level of fitness.
Best of all — the staff isn’t pushy. They don’t call you or bug you. They greet you when you come in, say good-​bye when you leave and answer any questions you may have. This is probably the best part of this gym!
Oh, and the hours. I can go in at 4am before work and get my workout in. Love it!
