Fitness & Gyms in Eureka, CA

“Most corporate slogans are just puff, but the Planet Fitness in Eureka truly is a judgment free zone. I am autistic, and this is the most welcoming and low-key gym I have ever visited. I have low eye contact and prefer gym pants that look several sizes too big for me, and I get none of the subtle side-eye or overt hassling that I’ve experienced at other gyms. The staff are kind. I think they sensed that I’m awkward with interaction, and they adjusted their greetings to make things easier on me. The people exercising are also very chill. Folks are good about sharing space and machines, and beyond that everybody’s doing their own thing. There are folks here of all ages, sizes, and fitness levels, dressed all different kinds of ways. So if you are someone who wants to get healthy but feels excluded by the typical gym culture, I would give this place a try.”

“I mainly use the swimming pool and hot tub at this location. Sometimes people let their kids in the pool during hours that are only supposed to be for lap swimming. And sometimes people let their children play and jump and splash in the hot tub. That can be annoying if they bump into you or are splashing water in your face when you're just trying to relax a little after working out. Lately there have been closures of the pool and hot tub so I haven't been able to go. The staff here is fantastic about communicating issues and sending out emails to let members know if there's going to be closures or limits to areas of the facility. The locker room is always clean as well as the showers and bathrooms the pool area. Great atmosphere the only trouble is with other patrons but that's not even a bad thing. It doesn't keep me from enjoying using the facilities.”
