Planet Fitness – Weymouth

This is my go to work-​out place ever since i moved to Weymouth. Decent crowd, convenient location and well maintained. I have the black-​card which is 20 $ a month and 35 $ to join plus no commitment. They require a checking account payment which is odd. I signed up at quincy location and was a frequent there until i moved to weymouth.
Regarding the gym itself: I liked the weymouth location better considering that the place is big, got a wide variety of machines plus it is clean and is not super crowded, well exception being mornings and b/​w 5 – 6 but never been into a waiting situation. This place recently went through some renovation, the cardio machines were all replaced and they added a lot of ab and core training equipment. I could see a change in this place after the renovation and crowd did improve. These days it is hard to find a parking spot during peak. Nevertheless can’ beat the price. Haven’t noticed too many annoying people and the locker room is well maintained. With Black card you also get access to the hydromassage area and sauna. Both of them didn’t dis-​appoint.

Like many recent posts have said this place has taken a turn for the worst. Been a member for 6 or 7 years and only stayed due the free weight equipment that was still there unlike other planet fitness’ in the area. Looks like I will be checking out what the other gyms in the area have to offer.
Looking at old reviews the squat racks are mentioned multiple times as a good thing but yet they are still removed. You need to listen to your customers.

Went from one of the best PF’s to one of the worst… getting rid of all of the free weight equipment to get rid of your core members real classy PF. This is independently owned to so I can’t see how corporate would have anything to do with the new changes.

This was once one of my favorite planet fitness’ until this week. They removed all the squat racks and the bench press will all be gone this coming Friday. It was nice while it lasted. I must say I will miss the place.

I visit this location once a week and its one of my favorites. Always free machines, lots of tvs and always very clean. Staff is also very friendly. The only improvement it really needs is better/​newer equipment

You get what you pay for. It’s a big gym, you may have to wait for cardio machines between 5−6pm. Parking can be a pain there since a lot of people do go there. It’s your middle of the road crowd. Most people are not serious about their workouts & if you look around there’s more socializing than lifting weights. The crowd can be a little sketchy. Bathrooms are hit or miss clean. Some afternoons the women’s room smells like urine, other days BO, some days it cleaning fluid (yippy) and other it’s a combo of urine & perfume giving it that bordello effect. You may have to wIt for a weight machine from time to time. Free weights are 70 pounds max. Leg press 390.
Sketchy Crowd?: For some reason I’ve ended up as a subject on Craigstlist Missed Connections… twice by two different guys. Due to gym creepers, this female changed gyms.

Best Planet Fitness I’ve ever been too. Of the 5 gyms I’ve visited in Boston since moving here, and 1 of 3 I’m currently a member of, it’s the best.
You do have to usual planet fitness members who have no idea what they are doing. A very clean facility. Plenty of machines and weights. There are 3 squat racks
You don’t, have a staff telling you not to do something. Dumbbells do not exceed 75lbs. The leg press machine doesn’t allow more than 6 45’s on each side.
It’s worth more than $ 10.

Big, cheap, and clean. Parking is tough, but place is huge, never had a wait for any cardio equipment. There are no standard PF rules, lots of guys in muscle tanks with the sides cut out, and plenty of guys dropping weights and posing. But its big enough to avoid that crowd and its very clean for a busy gym.

I come here largely for cardio (treadmill or elliptical), though I’ve also dabbled in the circuit strength training room, which is usually not busy at all. If you’ve been to a PF before, you know what they offer and what they don’t. I can just add that this one is clean, the staff is friendly, and even at peak hours I have no problem finding a cardio machine that’s free (even though the parking lot does get pretty full). And for a yearlong membership for $ 99, you can’t beat the price.

I have been to over 20 planet fitness’ across USA, this is probably the best.
3 Squat Racks, dumbbells goes up to 75lb, over 20 000 sq ft, nice bathrooms…
C’mon Man
Best PF in Mass hands down.

R u kidding me this is one of the best planet fitness I have been to I guess I’m a gym rat not a lug its cheap lots of equipment easy axis of the Hwy I have been to the one on the cape it sucks this one makes up for it Im in the area 2times a week to visit a Freind I will keep going till theres something that pisses me off now a days it seems like every body is a practiceing bodybuilder wtf come on people

For the Weymouth location.
Pros: price is obviously great, very large free weight area and large gym space overall, convenience, never once had a problem with anyone there, everyone is polite and maintain gym etiquette.
Cons: definitely full of bros and meatheads (I don’t mind, it’s a gym). This may be because it used to be Golds Gym. I had an equipment issue and brought it to the staff’s attention but was ignored. I’ve never once heard the Lunk Alarm go off. In fact, I’ve been to 5 different PF’s and never heard it to off. For someone like my dad, this location during prime time hours might be intimidating, so that’s where I have the issue with the false advertising.
The best PF I’ve been to is Waltham, but I no longer work near there.

I have been going to this Planet Fitness since 2005.
To be frank you get what you pay for — $ 20per month black-​card membership allows me to use the facilities and bring a guest (my wife) whenever I please.
However,
Is the place dirty — yes
Are there broken machines, no barbell collars — yes
Is the staff inattentive — yes
Is it full of meatheads, dedbeats, and degenerates — yes
You have paid between $ 10 — $ 20 for a gym membership what do you expect? It is utilitarian. If there was a cleaner better functioning option in the area I would join in a heartbeat.

Despite their national commercials, this location does not practice what they preach.
PLENTY of meatheads, roid heads, and overall jerkoffs RUIN this gym (again contrary to what they tell you.). You know the ones who pile on the weight and never put them back. The ones who strut and preen for all of us to take in. The ones in the mirror making love to themselves. nuff said, you know the ones.
It’s an ok gym, but they do not enforce their own dress code rules, not the «non judgement zone» crap they hype. Too bad because their concept is good, if only they practiced it and sounded the «lunk alarm» more often.
If you are looking for a meathead gym, this place is for you. If not, then don’t go here, because this is actually THE judgement zone.

This location can be very crowded depending on the time. After work is a very busy time. (5/​6pm) Weekends can be as well depending on time of day. However I’ve never really had to wait during busy times unless it’s a specific machine. ie: Stairclimber (2)
* As of this past August 2015 they have finally updated! All new Cardio (Treadmill, stairclimber, elliptical, etc) equipment, and other new machines as well.
* Both tanning booths and beds are available. I prefer the booths if I use them as they are newer. The beds are really outdated and very small.
* Staff is friendly enough.
* All in all not a bad Gym if you want to just go workout and need no real guidance.

Despite the size of the gym and the slightly below average staff, I give the location a C-​. The place has absolutely no ventalation. Also, recently I was on the tredmill and my phone rang. Typically if I am getting a call at that particular hour, it is important. I a answered it. 30 seconds into the call, the manager came over to me and asked me to go into the lobby. So, was she watching me until she saw me pick up my phone? My friend and I were absolutely appalled. Needless to say, I will be switching locations.

Friendly staff and plenty of equipment. Overall it was pretty clean.

I actually have had decent luck with other clubs in the Planet Fitness franchise. The continuing consistently poor performance of this club makes me agree a little more with negative perspectives such as this
article:
Just be aware that other PF’s can be much better than this unusually clueless one.

Worst gym I’ve ever belonged to, but I guess you get what you pay for. To begin with, the parking lot is too small and the other members drive like idiots fighting over spaces. There is overflow parking down the street, but there are no sidewalks and the lighting is poor, so you’re taking your life in your hands if you have to park there at night.
The cardio equipment is semi-​new, but the equipment that was replaced was higher quality. The new elliptical machines have the water-​bottle holders located in the back, so you basically have to stop working out in order to reach around for a sip of water. Plus, at any one time there are always 10 or so machines with out of order signs on them.
There is a circuit training room, which is a great idea, but other members don’t follow the guidelines, so the whole process doesn’t work and it’s generally just frustrating as you have to wait your turn to do the machines in order because people are skipping out of order and doing multiple sets. Why they don’t station one of the many staff members standing around the front desk doing nothing there, I don’t understand.
Recently, the water fountain in the cardio room was broken – it took them 6 weeks to replace it. Good thing I would remember to bring my water from home.
The locker rooms are disgusting and seemingly always undergoing renovation.
There is a no cell-​phone policy, but it is never enforced.
And, of course the staff members are idiots. I was there once and a car was smoldering in the parking lot. When I asked at the front desk if anyone had called the fire department, they said no, they were trying to locate the owner of the car first. So I called the fire department and got my car out of there in case the fire department didn’t get there before the smoldering burst into flames (destroying all around it).

I went to the Planet Fitness in Dorchester to sign up a couple months ago, walk around… checked it out but figured I would give the Weymouth location a look too (since both aren’t that far from me). I’m glad that I did!
The Weymouth PF is so much bigger than the Dorchester one. The staff was also nicer when I went in an let them know that I was interested in joining. The membership is also cheaper for the same membership at the Weymouth location!
The cardio room has a lot of machines: treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, etc. and I’ve never had to wait to get on one. The weight room is pretty big too. Same idea, lots of machines, no wait. I usually go after work, which you would think would be crazy busy but it isn’t as bad as you would think.
Parking is amazing, there’s plenty of it. The locker room area is also very clean, which is something my old gym skeeved me out with not being.
So, for $ 20 a month I can go all that I want, bring a friend, go tanning, go to another PF if I wanted and get half off drinks. Not a bad deal… sure there’s no classes, but who cares… I’m also not spending $ 99 a month just to «be seen» at the gym.
