Planet Fitness – Austin – Round Rock

I have never been a person that works out well. Like one of those that look amazing working out. I tend to look like I’m dying if I ever have to run. And I am extremely self conscious, so when my husband got us memberships I was less than thrilled. But after going there my «gym stereotype» of only fit people showing off went out the window. And I felt like I could work out without people judging me (which is huge for me) I would warm up on the treadmill and then do their cardio circuit. They have so many options that it may get overwhelming but take a deep breath and go for it! And there is the occasional fit person showing off but they are in their own world and don’t care about how stupid you think you look. Put in the effort and it will pay off. And the massage chairs are awesome after working out. Huge fan of those.

I just come here for the free pizza and tootsie rolls!!!
Kidding, people have this misconception that this gym is for people who don’t really work out or are in horrible shape only. I assure you this is not the case. This gym has everything you need and is very very clean. Everyone is good about wiping down the station they just finished at. There are «meat heads» here but everyone shows each other respect. Not too many people flexing in the mirror and taking selfies, because we all know, if you didn’t post it, it didn’t happen. I pay $ 20 a month and can go to any location AND bring a guest, I also get half price drinks.
It is never too crowded, even at 5pm on a weekday. Staff is friendly and helpful.
I prefer the layout of the Round Rock location but I am between Pville and 79 location

Cleanest of all the locations i’ve visited… plenty of machines and staff was friendly.

I was at another gym. i left there cause to many teenagers play on their cell phones and hog up the weight machines. i don’t have that problem at planet fitness. the machines are up to date. the tanning beds are awesome. what I love the most about planet fitness is the classes they offer. the trainer that does the classes .is amazing. you will get a work out with him. i highly recommend attending the classes. thank you David for offering these classes. The other thing that that I love about planet fitness is the environment. they are very nice. also it is very clean. Well worth 5 stars thanks for everything angel.

Decent gym at a decent price… Pretty much sums it up. I workout at the location about 3x per week. It has most off the equipment I need for a full body workout except for a power cage. Smith machines are available but I prefer the option of a free bar. I hear the amenities are good (tanning, massage, etc) but I never use them. Staff is helpful and nice. I don’t really like that you cannot bring your own trainer but it is hard to complain when theirs are complementary. You get what you pay for.

I have never been a fan of the gym, any gym. I have been 200 lbs and plus all my life. I find the gym to be judging, annoying, and dumb. However, my friend wanted to get her daughter to the gym and thought it would be good if we went as a group. So my friend, her daughter, my husband and I.
And I have to say, it has been the best decision we have made! We met with a personal trainer and he gave us an excellent routine. We did that for about 3 weeks straight and today, offically under 200 lbs for the first time in years. It feels amazing. The gym is such a motivation for getting into shape. It is a huge stress reliever now. I’m at the point where if I don’t go to the gym one day, I feel sick. I have never felt this way about any gym before. I do feel like Planet Fitness is a different kind of gym and I love it. The staff are semi-​friendly at this location. There are new people so of course it will take time, so no worries there. Though I must say, the women employees are the nicest to me. You think it’d be the other way around. So male employees need to step it up.
Best gym to join in Round Rock.
Best price.
The people who go to this gym are also super friendly. To everyone!

The technology of the cardio equipment could be more up to date seeing as so many phones apps and devices are now able to record/​synch your workout. They kinda make up with it with wi-​fi. I love the wi-​fi b/​c I catch up on my shows on my tablet.
Overall a great gym for the price. Tanning beds are excellent. Staff friendly. I’d gladly give up the water massage for a lap pool, hot tub or sauna but I get it’s how they keep cost low.
Note that there are no body pump, yoga or aerobic classes but even so this gym does provide everything you need to get a great workout and machines are always available.

Love this place, the atmosphere and the people. Started here at 215 lbs and now I’m 165. Couldn’t run half a mile when I started and now I can run 5 miles without walking. Great place

Kudos to manager Chantel Hope for being the most friendly patient responsible staff I’ve ever seen at Planet Fitness.
I used to go to the one on Anderson Lane but I had to switch my membership since I moved to Round Rock. I tried to do so online and wasn’t able to figure it out. Then I called the Anderson Lane location and was put on hold for what felt like forever and then received no further help.
So, I walk into this one, explain the situation. EVERYONE at the front desk was super nice and helpful. The manager took charge of the situation when her employees couldn’t find me in the system. She took initiave, found my account, and helped me transfer. During the times I was waiting to get my banking information together to fill out a form, she helped other customers, but still made sure I didn’t need any further help. She said «welcome to MY planet fitness», and I felt right at home… like she took good care & ownership of her home, too! This type of customer service at peak hours in a gym is unheard of. I wasn’t treated like a burden but like a valued customer.
The equipment looks good, NOT ridiculously packed at 6 – 7 like the gym on Anderson, and looks pretty clean. The manager alone makes me thrilled to workout here, because I know if anything goes wrong she is going to handle it quickly and professionally!

THEY HAVE TANNING BEDS! There is also a water massage bed and massage chairs, all complimentary for black cars members. Taking a guest is always free with a black card! Staff here is always super friendly and easy going. I never feel like a «burden» when I’m checking in at the front desk. I never feel judged at all by anyone who works here, this is what I like a lot about this place. I go in my short shorts and tank tops and surprisingly I don’t get a single funny look from employees or even the other patrons working out. They have my favorite butt exercise machine. It’s great to get the above the butt dimples that are so sexy. It’s threat for thighs too. I looooove the 30 minute express workout! You can get in and out and burn a ton of calories and get a full body workout in 30 mins flat! Definitely worth a look. There is never a shortage of treadmills here. Sometimes there are weight hogs… But that is at every gym right? I’ll just stand there waiting until they get uncomfortable and move on like they should :) above all SUUUUPER affordable for the amenities offered.

Great, clean gym with a lot of equipment. Friendly staffers and the place is open ²⁴⁄₇. Got our passes last week and we’ve worked out every day since we signed up 6 days ago. We are happy with our choice to get memberships at Planet Fitness.

I signed up for a two week free trial when I received a flyer in the mail. I was just getting back into working out after an almost year hiatus of pure laziness. Planet Fitness made this transition back to working out very easy. Everything was extremely clean, the equipment was in good shape, and the staff was pleasant enough. The only thing I didn’t really like was just how much Planet Fitness tries to push the average Joe appeal. The point of me going to the gym is to push myself to get healthier and to motivate me to keep coming back, Planet Fitness seems more interested in helping people exercise in the easiest and most nonchallenging way. The price is awesome and I like the fact that they are easily found throughout the country. If I were just getting a membership for myself I would have been happy to go with Planet Fitness, however, the YMCA was far and away the better option for a family.

Love love planet fitness! Gym Tan & Massage for $ 20 a month!!! The best deal around, place is alway clean and staff is friendly!!! Was a member in Vegas moved to Tx and resigned up great experience in both states!!! ;)

I’ve been to many, many Planet Fitness’ around the country. My home gym used to be on Riverside and, oddly enough, it’s actually the nicest Planet Fitness I’ve been to ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY (thus far).
This Round Rock location is satisfactory enough. There’s the long row of TVs to select from when you’re slaving away on your cardio equipment, and the free weights area as well as the weight machines are fine.
My biggest annoyances are in three areas:
1. The straps on the bike machines are broken. Try pedaling one of these bikes for 15 – 30 minutes at a time on the hills setting while you’re digging deep just to be able to breathe correctly and tell me you don’t wish you had straps on your feet. If you tell me no, you’re lying to yourself.
2. The 30 minute work out area is tiny. TINY. At the Riverside location there’s an ENTIRE ROOM dedicated to the 30 minute work out, here you barely get a corner.
3. The stretching area is also inadequate and small. There are only 2 stretching machines and they’re very close together, and the stretching mat is right beside you. On Riverside, again, you get an entire stretching room in a darkly lit area that’s chill and relaxing.
This location makes me feel like they just want me in and out. Riverside makes me feel like it’s cool if I do some cardio, have my 30 minute work out, have my stretch time, and take a shower for as long as needed.
3 stars.

The staff is great, the tanning beds and the equipment is great too. I go 3 – 4 times a week and its a great gym to go to. no meat heads here just regular people trying to stay healthy and get into better shape.

I’ve been a member for over a year and these facilities have pretty much everything that you need. For a low monthly cost you get access to a good variety of machines, free weights and aerobic equipment. Overall I have been very happy with the equipment they have in house, the clean facilities, tanning beds and big bathroom/​changing room. For the price you cannot beat PF. Would definitely recommend to friends.

So far so good. The staff is very friendly. The facility is very clean and organized. The best thing so far is that there is actually room for you to get a good work out in. I hate… HATE!!! when gyms are crowded. It is very difficult for me to stay in the zone when I have to rearrange my workout because some jacka** wants to sit on the bench press for 30 minutes talking to his buddy about his new haircut or something. Excellent place for general fitness. The dumbbell’s only go up to 75lbs, and the curl bars only go up to 90. That’s what took away the one star… I wish the dumbbells at least went up to 120… but oh well. Price compared to anywhere else this place is the shiznit! Its $ 10 a month for basic membership, bassically you cant use the tanning beds and you can only work out at this location. $ 20 a month for the elite or BLACK CARD membership. Unlimited use of everything in the gym. Plus you get a free T-​shirt, half price on all of the cooler drinks, and the best part is you can bring anyone in for free and any time. That alone is worth it.
The Tanning beds, massage chairs, very clean showers and dressing room, and a TON of cardio equipment. Not a body builders paradise but if you just want to stay fit and healthy without a bunch of meat heads getting in your way, and making you feel inadequate as a human being, consider planet fitness the best choice for you.

I’ve been a member of PF for a few years now and have been to a few locations. Like all of the PF locations, this one has everything you need to work out – free weights, treadmill, elliptical, stair stepper, mats, workout balls, benches, TV’s, tanning – you name it.
It’s very clean and the equipment looks to be in pretty good shape.
Like most, if not all, PF’s, they don’t have very heavy dumbbells, which may discourage big body builders. I don’t mind since I’m not looking to bulk up like a gorilla.
Planet Fitness is awesome. For $ 10 a month ($ 20 w/​unlimited tanning), you really can’t go wrong. They don’t have classes (though this location has intro classes), but they have all the equipment you need. They discourage «Lunks», or people who grunt, drop weights, etc. If you want to get in shape and don’t want the pressure of a bunch of skinnies and hulks around you, this is the place to go.

Everyone wants to join a gym, but who ever wants to actually go? This place eliminated any reason I have for not going. There motto is «No Critics.» Those of who need to go the gym appreciate that sentiment, thank you.
The place is bigger than I thought. There is a very large section of cardio machines which seem to be a favorite of many folks. Of course they have also included free weights as well as machines for your workout. My favorite are however, is the Express Workout. This section includes stepping platforms and a variety of machines. Each spot is numbered from one through twenty. There is a red/​green traffic light on the wall. While the light is green, you begin your workout at spot number one. It will turn red for several seconds as you move into position at spot two. Following this pattern, you are rewarded with a full body workout in 30 minutes.
The place is clean and the people are friendly. It is set up well so that anyone on a cardio machine can see any of a number of tv programs being shown. These televisions also indicate a number by which you can tune in to listen to any given show.
Joining a gym feels good, but having cause to return to the gym on a daily basis and complete a satisfying workout is great.

Run, fat boy, RUN!!!
So the new Planet Fitness just opened up at the corner of Hwy 79 and Mays in Round Rock. This is an old HEB that has been split into a couple of different places and re-​purposed. We’ve all done the tour of a gym. We’ve all heard horror stories of the Orwellian contracts. I’m happy to report that I don’t think that Planet Fitness fits that stereotype.
I walked in and was greeted promptly and courteously by Victor. Walked me around and just showed the place to me while we chatted. At no time did he try to pressure me into a membership. In fact, when I went to walk out without buying a membership he just politely said «see ya’.»
Well, if you aren’t going to make me feel bad about being fat how can I compare you to other gyms!!! You know that criticizing self-​esteem is how you pressure people into contracts, don’t you?
I signed up, I feel like I got a fair deal, and I liked the fact that I was given time to read the contract. (The salesman giveth, but the small print taketh away…) I liked the fact that they had two memberships: $ 10/​month, no contract, this club only. $ 20/​month, 12 month contract, any club, you can bring a guest, you can use the tanning booths, you can use the massage chairs. If you decide to quit before the 12 months it is a $ 58 buy-​out. Either way they do a once per year membership fee of $ 39.
Hmm, this seems awfully reasonable. I’m a sucker for massage chairs, and I really want to get that orange glow like John Boehner so that when we debate everyone can adjust the color on their TV to make us not look like oompah-​loompahs…
So I joined. And I like it. And I don’t feel judged.
Cool.
