Planet Fitness is a gym that covers the basics with a decent number of machines and best-in-class equipment. The staff is noted as being awesome, super helpful, polite, and professional. The price is considered unbeatable for a basic membership. The environment is a welcoming space with a mix of ages, both men and women at different physicalities, and is not all beefcakes. It provides a Judgement Free Zone. However, the gym is described as very small and crowded compared to others, and it can be full of people. Gym etiquette is sometimes less than desirable, with people claiming equipment they aren't using and stock piling dumbbells. While more benches and Smith Machines have been added, the bathrooms often have something broken, like a hand dryer or urinal. The place smells like a gym, which is expected.
Gym has definitely improved over the years, a lot more cleaner and not too loud. The trainer Salim is very patient and informative with his classes and workouts, definitely would recommend.

Staff is great here, and the gym is very clean and feels like a safe environment. In my experience, this location is much better than the Planet Fitness in Chinatown/Gallery Place.
