    I was treated very rude by an employee name ** at the Planet Fitness at Ryan and 18 mile in Sterling Heights, MI, now it's 5:45 am and all I want to do is get in and work out and leave... Today I brought my adult daughter to work out with me for the first time as I am a black card member so she was my guest.... I scan in on my phone and let the person checking me in "Tone" that she was my guest so he was showing me how to send her a link so she could scan in as my guest and here come "**" "um do you have an ID?" My daughter gave her ID and ** runs it in the computer and comes back talking about a past account that my daughter had years ago that still had a balance and that because of that, she can't work out with me...

    I said, "What does that have to do with me, she's my guest and my account is up to date and now that we know that going forward, she will resolve her past account issues with billing or collections" and she said no, she can't work out here with an outstanding balance.... Well needless to say it was embarrassing and I stated that the customer service thing to do would be to allow her to workout as my guest since you're already here and take care of that account if she wanted to come back... and I said to "**" that because of how she is handling things I may cancel my membership and before I could finish my sentence, she said "Oh I can do that for you right now!" I was appalled that she was so quick to assist in canceling my account as well instead of trying to get to a resolution... Oh well there are way too many gyms for me to pay my money to one who could care less if I stay or leave, so bye, RUDE **. I wish you and Planet Fitness well.

    I would never stay with a company that can’t have customer service phone calls and the only way to cancel is going to their company. And if you have a complaint it’s up to the manager and if you don’t have photos or proof you owe money. They said I didn’t pay for a year. Never showed up after I canceled then they accepted me back. Took my membership fee for a year and continued to charge me then wouldn’t let me use the facility for over a year. But because I wasn’t in town on the road driver I couldn’t cancel until I was back in town. Worst facility ever. Please never go again.

    I wish I never joined this place. I was desperate for a gym while visiting family over a year and a half ago. I canceled my writing membership multiple times as I do not reside in Ohio. I live in California. Yet, when I called to inquire about the monthly charges, the staff told me to send an email, which I have sent several times. After a year+ - the manager, "Jason" tells me just now I need to send the notice via the regular U.S.P.S. Email isn't good enough. When I tried to explain the situation, he unprofessionally mansplained me into oblivion by telling me, "It is in my contract."

    Email isn't considered in writing for him. I knew I was in the middle of nowhere Ohio but in the digital age most businesses accept email notification as "in writing". Kind of ironic since Planet Fitness has a member app for check-ins and upgrades but they do not accept email notifications. After the telephone call - "Jason" also sent me the cancellation form with his initials on it via email so I could mail it to him via snail mail. Way to game the system to make that $10+ bucks a month.

    Sadly, unethical staff has been lying to me for over a year about the email notification to milk me for the lousy fees. I had to get stern with the "manager" to get him to tell me the truth about their written notification policy, which is against most modern-day business practices. I am contacting the Corporate Office, AGO, and the Better Business Bureau since its well over $100+ in fees now. AVOID THIS PLACE. It's a scam. The gym has the worst fitness equipment I have ever seen. I was just desperate for a treadmill. Definitely not worth the money. Drive to Canton or go to YMCA.

    I would give no stars if I could. My son had a membership there that I was paying for. He went into the military and he cancelled the membership. So 3 weeks ago my credit card was charged for $59 annual membership. I called right away and the manager was going to see about getting this reimbursed as it looked like the account hadn't been cancelled but they froze it instead. So that is why annual membership fee was charged. He said he would look into this with upper management. Haven't heard anything and have not received a refund. So I called today, 3/5/25 and they tell me there is no way they can reimburse the money but now the membership was cancelled.

    This is really awful business practice for Planet Fitness. PF consistently gets bad reviews on their cancelling membership procedure. I am not happy about this. This is not about the employees there, they are not empowered to be able to do anything about this. SHAME ON YOU PLANET FITNESS. This is a crappy business practice period!!!!

    Socastee, Myrtle Beach, SC... Been a fitness trainer and gym manager for decades and even run a Planet Fitness. This company has fallen so far. After turning 55 wanted to get back in shape. Been in the local PF 2 days straight now and I consistent see customers have jump on the machines the minute you walk away to get towels or even breathe. You can see the women "religion" through their spandex. Trying to get myself to get back in shape and don't have a ton of time. But as I am working out I watched a thug husband/wife started a fight with a member using the a piece of equipment.

    They threatened to beat him, take him outside. They got inches within his face pointing and yelling! The staff did nothing. The man finally went to the staff and they did nothing. This gym has created the least friendly and most judgmental gym (ironically given their name). FYI, I also pay for a Black Card membership but can't use any of the other amenities because they are always booked. A completely bad experience.

    Planet Fitness is not just guilty of predatory practices, but their enshrined in company policy. PF was overcharging with their autopay feature and sometimes charged me more than one time a month. They make it near impossible to cancel their service. You have to go to the original location in person and speak to the manager who never seems to be in. I moved out of state and was then told that I had to mail them a letter to cancel. They do not accept cancelations over the phone, app, or online, only in person or with a written letter. I sent the letter and waited months with no cancellation.

    Walked into my new local PF for the first time ONLY to cancel it and was told they couldn't cancel the membership because even though I have a Premium Membership that gives me access to all the locations in the country, I can only cancel at the location I opened the account at. But they did offer to transfer my membership to the new location. So in other words, they can in fact transfer your account over then cancel it, but their company policies prevent them from doing so. A company as big as PF, that already has websites and apps could give you more ways to manage your account, but they purposefully don't.

    They do this on purpose to continue to collect fees from customers unwilling to jump through the extra hoops to cancel their membership. That passive income is the only thing keeping these gyms open because it certainly isn't the equipment, trainers or customer service. Paying a fee to put a stop payment through my bank was the only way I could make the PF autopay stop. Never again.

    When I went to join the gym the young man at the counter put in all my information and then told me it did not go through. I then went on my phone and signed myself up within 2 minutes. Come to find out I was accidentally signed up twice and got charged as such the next month. I went to the gym and told them about it and they said I was successfully back to just one membership.

    I was charged twice the next month and I did not notice it. I just noticed that this month I was once again charged twice and when I called the gym they are flippant, rude and very unprofessional. They told me because I didn't know when I originally was overcharged the first time that they couldn't refund my money.

I had switched from the regular 10$ a month to the Black Card $27 and thought I had no contract but apparently I was under a contract so I also had to pay a 62$ buy out.

    I informed the Haddon Township Planet Fitness (PF) General Manager, Felicia various lockers do not open - again. I requested her please unlock the locker containing my belongings to change and go home. This occurred about 15 minutes or so before 10 pm closing. She told me, "I don't know how to use lock to open a locker." Further, since I cannot get them to work - she instructed me to bring my own lock and use a smaller unit. I been using this gym since 2019 and know how to operate a lock on the locker. Then, the male employee came into locker room (who has repeatedly opened nonworking lockers for me over past few weeks). I told her she was insulting me, to stop and do the task I requested. Asked, "Is this how you treat customers?" She repeated she did not care - multiple times.

    She escalated the conversation by her raising her fists and threatening to "take him out"! The other male employee witnessed her tirade and had to hold her back from doing something unprofessional in her out of control state. There were also other males in the locker trying to go about their business. One stepped forward to help keep her back. She told me to leave without a chance to change out of sweaty clothes in weather in the teens. Asked her, "Is this how PF treats customers" and again continued to insult, threaten and harass me.

    She proceeded to call the Haddon Township NJ Police regarding an "old ** man" and stated other derogatory comments on the call record. The Police responded to the scene outside of the premises and asked if I wished to file on the incident. Further, they informed me she cancelled my membership due to a policy of Violation of Trespassing.

    Reading about this specific PF, I found a recent customer complaint on harassment and racism actions from this same management team on another review site. I was informed by the police that this is a regular event. Overall it has been a useful gym until this occurred.

    Yes I called the Minot gym! Nobody knows how to do it and I always get "I’ll have my manager call you." I have yet to receive a call from a manager even after calling back several times! Such a scam. Don’t waste your time or money. I have had the black card for over 3 years and paid every month, now I’m at a local gym since I don’t travel anymore and they won’t cancel. Someone needs to open a class action lawsuit into Planet Fitness for all the money they have scammed from people. There are thousands of reviews exactly like mine! Any young eager lawyers out there?

    This place is the worse in customer service and the manager has zero common sense. I was charged for the six months, yet my son was not granted access to the gym facilities at Planet Fitness. He was member since 2018. During all those years, My son was not and is not a very frequent gym goer however he never minded paying for his membership due to attendance. As a present for his birthday I started to pay for his gym membership. Therefore, at the end of October 2023, I went to Planet Fitness to claim responsibility for his membership. They took my bank card number and Planet Fitness had my son's debit card information too as he was already a member. Planet Fitness had access to both cards.

    Since November 20, 2023, I have been paying the monthly membership fee of $23.04 until July 2024 without interruption as it was directly withdrawn. In July, Planet Fitness withdrew two payments, one for $39.00 ??? and another for $23.04 on July 1 which is the monthly fee. However, from Jan/Feb 2024 until July, my son faced the following issues:

    1. My son was denied access to the gym facilities several times despite having a valid membership, which withdrew payments successfully from my account yet according to the employees my son was not allowed to use the facilities for nonpayment. They never gave him any explanation further- they just said nonpayment. I check my account and it was being withdrawn.

    2. Lack of communication and support from the gym staff regarding this issue. They failed to tell my son that they needed a second working card on record, even though they have my son's and mine. The issue started when my son's card was declined because his card expired (as his card was on record since 2018), Planet Fitness used my card, and it worked and continued to work until July when I had to cancel it because they kept taking money and not providing services.

    3. There has been an inadequate response to my son's previous attempts to resolve this matter with the manager Ms **, and when he went in person on July 18.

    This is unacceptable and constitutes a breach of contract. My son was a paying member, he had the right to access the services as I was successfully charged. I request immediate action to address this issue, in the form of:

    1. A full refund of the fees paid during the months as he was denied access. Jan - July because PF took money out of my account.

She and X boyfriend mock and antagonize a certain gym customer. This X boyfriend, basically does anything he wants in the gym, because of who he knows.

They do not disclose verbally that it’s a one-year contract; instead, they trick you with a seemingly attractive monthly rate. Worse, the only way to cancel is to come in person physically. They offer no customer service. When you call in their automated system is all about how they will not cancel or process your requests. So, I know it is not just my experience.

She mentioned that she doesn't have a code for $20.05 available and the current rate is around $30 dollars. After several hours, I called her back to check on her progress. She said she spoke to ABC third-party billing and that they would credit my October $20.05 and reinstate my membership for $29.35! I said absolutely not! I did NOT cancel, I did not sign, and this is fraud.

    I asked for the franchise owner's name, and she said unable to give me that information and I can call ABC third-party and try to work something out. I told Miranda that my contract is with PF not ABC third-party. We went back and forth and then she said she could not help me and was hanging up. To date, I have not received a credit.

When I bought my membership I went into the club and the gentleman that I talked to said they don't sign people up in the store and just go online. So I did. Then Rob insults me for going online to purchase the membership then tells me he thinks he should just cancel my membership. I in turn did say that is not an option. I really think Planet Fitness needs to examine who they have managing their gym.

    I tried to get a membership at the Sandusky Ohio Club. They insisted I provide my Bank account number which I refused to do. I offered to prepay or give a credit card. They rejected this stating the only way I could join was to give my bank account number. Based on the Negative reviews and comments about charging members after expiration of the terms, over charges, etc it seems to be a common business practice for Health clubs use a members bank account to steal funds.

    I had to take the last club to small claims court to get them to return a year's worth of improper charges. I won and it money was returned but most people won't do this and the clubs know it. I believe that is why they want your account numbers. They don't want credit cards because those are easily disputed..Banks will not help to stop the improper withdrawals from your checking account. Members beware. Find a Honest Club.

    Called today. Spoke with this woman who said the letter came in two days after billing and that is why I was billed but mind you there was a five day delay in the billing being taken from my account. So instead of saying oh yea I understand you are now out of state and physically impossible to use our facility for this month I can refund the month. Nope. Instead I was charged for a month that I can not even think about using the facility. So basically I paid their wages for a month with no benefit for myself. Scammy at best.

    BEWARE! They make it a nightmare to cancel. You can signup online, but can’t cancel online. Went in to sign cancellation form but they kept charging me. Called to inquire and they had no record of the contract and I was never given a copy, I asked and they said they would send one via email. That never happened…I had to get my bank involved because you can’t use a credit card as a payment option. The same thing happened with my neighbor and 2 coworkers. They know if you use a credit card, you can dispute the charge and then they couldn’t play this game. The $10 a month seems great, until you want to cancel.

    The club itself is dirty and you can see layers of filth on the cardio equipment. Their idea of cleaning is walking around and wiping off the parts your hands touch. The cardio equipment is second hand and about 10-15 years old, it’s basically what real fitness clubs throw out. I’ve seen them throw out members for making too loud of sounds as they lift. I guess they don’t want anyone to push themselves. Majority of workers are on their cell phones, especially the front desk. Staff doesn’t walk around to remove weights from barbells or put anything up. I rejoined Xsport, this place would be great for a rec center or retirement home.

I know plenty of men and women who fit the “the lunk” definition on the wall at PF and would never judge anyone. They are the most quiet good natured people that just live to lift.

My only complaint is almost “every” men’s bathroom at Planet Fitness are filthy. I can pretty much guarantee that when I walk into the men’s bathroom at a Planet Fitness it’s going to smell of urine. I live in New York, I travel often to Florida and both Planet Fitness bathrooms stink of urine.

    I rarely write reviews. But I’ve told the employees at the desk about the smell. Planet Fitness needs to start a regular cleaning system. In the men’s bathrooms. I refuse to use the showers. If the cleanliness of the showers is anything like the urinals and toilet then I’m better off waiting and showering at home. Otherwise I’m a satisfied customer.

I had to call my bank and put a freeze on any transactions created by Planet Fitness just to get them to stop charging me. Apparently the only way to cancel your membership otherwise is to go in person and talk to the front desk (I moved out of the area, making this impossible for me). They do not care about their customers and just want their little profit line to go up even if it means scamming their members who have not been in years.

There is no corporate billing department and no direct contact to anyone who has any control over this. Basically I feel totally screwed. I had a home base and I moved a few years ago never thinking again that I had a home base different from the one I used. So I didn’t need the membership any longer and am a small business owner so I cut that out of the budget. While I thought for sure I cancelled my membership and signed a document there is suddenly no proof of it. So for one full year planet fitness has been charging a barely active card on file. Some transactions went through and some did not because I don’t keep funds in that account regularly. It’s just a random card.

    So I was considering returning to Planet Fitness and went to sign up for the app, thus realizing that my account was NEVER CANCELLED and I’ve been charged for an entire year annnd had an outstanding balance of like $200???? I haven’t stepped foot in a planet fitness since August of 2023. I'm a small business owner and every dollar counts. It’s ridiculous to me that there is no way to handle this situation outside of the MOD of my home base store that I haven’t been to in 3 years. How do I escalate this situation and why would Planet Fitness think it is in the right to continue to charge a membership fee for someone who isn’t actively using their service for an entire year even if I’m the negligent one for cancelling and not noticing it wasn’t actually cancelled???

    I use multiple locations, and PF used to be great. I joined for their 24-hour schedule and had a lot of company on off hours. Then they cut their hours drastically (but not their price), although they still leave the lights, TVs and fans on 24/7, and they are frequently late to open. Sitting (not for the first time) at 6:38 am outside a facility that was supposed to open at 6. Inexcusable.

    I have no problem with the staff, my problem is with the patrons. I'm tired waiting to use a piece of equipment and the person is sitting on it playing with their phone. I've seen people tying up a machine for 20 minutes while doing nothing but texting. There should be some gym policy about this.

    Since my membership cancellation in August 2023 they are milking my checking account and charging me every month. When I complained they contacted the ABC billing, contracted billing service company, yet nothing changed and charges continue. I asked my bank to stop any future charges because nothing else helped.

    I am not afraid to say I hate Planet Fitness. The idea or concept of the facility could have been good but hiring staff that is incompetent at best just destroys what good the health club could have had. I had them take double payments out of my account. I asked to cancel my membership at the mentor facility and the manager refused. This wasn't a one time horrible experience. I tried their club twice both times were a nightmare. I will never give any other health club the ability to access my funds. I hope a law is passed that prevents Planet Fitness from taking funds that do not and should not belong to them.

    They fail to meet ADA requirements and, when I tried to get assistance, the manager was incredibly rude, dismissive and incompetent. Added to the fact that there is NO way to escalate my concerns beyond him - no customer service number and no response from my 4 online inquiries. Bottom basement pricing for bottom basement service.

    The low price is me entice you but the horrendous staff and policies will quickly drive you away! Stay away unless you enjoy throwing money away on a place that will wait until they have taken your annual fee and monthly payment and then simply cancel your membership with a blank email! Unbelievable? I'm a Believer now along with thousands of others I have found. D plus BBB rating and going down fast.

    The employees are children and act like it and when they passively or actively interfere with your ability to use the Black Card Spa and they make just checking in an anxiety provoking encounter every time if their employees don't like you; you're paying for something that is broken 90% of the time anyway at least in the Rutland Vermont location. Report any of the poor treatment you receive by anyone that works there and you will find yourself receiving an email in the middle of the night canceling you with no refund to what you have already prepaid. I will see them in court.

    You have a lunk alarm for guys that grunt or drop weights but no alarm for guys that freely go into the women's dressing room. What a backwards company. More emasculating of men and putting women in danger. Stop supporting this insane agenda of the left. It's immoral and wrong. Build an OTHER bathroom if you want men and women in the same bathrooms.

    When I signed up, it was under the promise that I could cancel online or by phone. Having been burned before by a gym contract, I was promised that canceling was that easy. This was clearly misleading and false. When I did go on to quit, I was given a form which I signed. This was the end of it, or so I thought. A few months later, I realized that Planet Fitness was still charging me a membership fee. I called and explained what had happened, but the rep told me that regardless of whether I canceled in person, I would need to now change my membership location to a nearby location or sent a notarized letter. When I canceled my membership in California, I did so because I was moving to Montana. The nearest Planet Fitness location was 3 hours away from me. I was so frustrated that I had to go through these insane steps just to cancel.

    In the last 3 years since, I have attempted to cancel multiple times. I've sent a complaint to the Consumer Protection Bureau, called customer service, and have gone into multiple locations. I refuse to send a notarized letter after what I had gone through. Recently I went into a location to try canceling once again and was told they couldn't transfer my membership there. The only way was to call the original location. How is any of this legal?

    I was told to cancel my membership online and if I did it before the date I wouldn’t be charged. Well when I realized a week later it didn’t cancel I went in to Planet Fitness and canceled. Well they took out the fee over 50 dollars. When I called to explain the manager said, "We don’t refund annual fee" and wasn’t very nice about it, wouldn’t help in any way so when I asked who was over him he said no one. So I’m out 50+ money and they just don’t care. I will never use them or suggest them to friends. Sue C.

    I went in PF Covington Square, Lithonia, Georgia to cancel my membership. In the end I was humiliated and insulted because I refused to pay $10 and asked for the mgr or owners’ name. Asst mgr and staff refused to give me names and I refused to leave until I got the information. Staff told me to take my “56 yr old fat **” on and posted the incident on TikTok. I will not stop until I get an apology and paid! The young guy threw gang signs up trying to intimidate me, see the attached picture. I could not upload the TikTok Video

    I paid for a one month black card membership on Easter day, 2024, which was March 31. I decided by April 20 that I wasn't interested in Planet Fitness. I went in to the fitness center and requested to cancel my subscription, which is the way they want you to do it. You cannot call on the phone or email them to cancel, which is fine. However, I told the employee that they already pulled another payment out of my account on April 17 and asked why they are pulling it so early when my first payment was paid on the 31st of the prior month; he didn't have an answer for me. I asked him how I can get my money back since I won't be a member anymore and I canceled before the end of the month. The employee told me that there is no phone number to call because if I look up customer service online, it's gonna direct me back to their office and they can't help me.

    I tried it and that's exactly what happened. So, they are charging me after less than 3 weeks of being a member a second time and he tells me I can use my membership until May 16. I was forced (illegally), to pay for all of May and I'm told that I only have weeks in May to use the gym?! How the hell does that work? I believe I am not the only member who has been scammed and possibly a class action may be in the works. There will be a few phone calls I will be making for sure. Now I know how they make their money. Crooks!!!
