Bad service
Planet Fitness should practice what they preach, no judgement ha.
I was told I couldn't wear a bandana on my head while I was surrounded by guys with baseball hats. I'm a performer and get around the U.S. I have long hair so to try to work out without a bandana would be impossible. No judgment, what do you call that, as long I live in the U.S. know-one is going to tell me what I can wear and what I can. I didn't want any part of this and upon leaving I was asked to cancel my membership.

bloodsuckers
Planet Fitness is all about making money illegally. I joined the club and didnt get to work out a single time because of THEM not me. No one would train me on the equipment. When I asked the terainer, whose job it was to do so, I was told he hadn't the time. The classes that were supposed to be scheduiled to teacjh folks to use the equipment were cancelled in July. The club was always crowded. I sent my cancellation letter and a request for a refund on July 17th. They signed for it the 18th and they billed me the 19th. I sucked that one up because of the timing. They billed me in August, my bank took it off. They billed me in September, my bank took it off and I filed an emailed complaint with the company. I got a call that they had every intention of refunding my money but they needed an address. There's an address on my membership form so I didnt fall for it. I cancelled my card and got a different one. So when they tried to draft for October, they didnt get anything. Its November 10th and I just got a bill for $39. Membership is $10 a month and they didnt get anything August through October, that's $30. Where did the $9 come from? I couldnt find a corporate address to complain to but I found plenty of complaints on the internet voicing the same complaints I have. If Im lucky, they'll read this and cancel my membership, like they've done to other members. If I'm unlucky, I'll have to wait until they say I owe over $100 then sue them for harassment- to which I plan to invite the press so no one else on the Ms Gulf Coast will be gypped into joining this money pit.

Having hard time canceling
This is suppose to be you can cancel anytime. I have been going there
for a yer and half and paid an extra 10 a month for the tanning, and
the tanning bed does not work well at all. They charge my bank acct
directly and i had a new card issued and did not know they couldnt run there payment so i ended up having to pay all these lates fees and
asked to cancel they say you have to send in certified letter. I have sent 2 letter regular mail and have gotten no where. I have been in they say i have to deal with them i asked to change my plan i have to deal with abc. Here is it about 6 mths later and still paying for something that i dont use at all. It is very hard for me to get to the
post office during the day to send certified letter, there should be other options.

Billing/ Customer Service
Much like others, Planet Fitness duped me into there membership and then started charging my card randomly. In a 5 week period I was charged $30 for a start up fee ( I agreed to that), 2 monthly charges, and today charged for a "yearly" fee. When I signed up, I was told the $30 start up fee would cover me for 1 year. Also, shouldn't a yearly fee be charged after a year? I was told at the local Planet Fitness there was nothing I could do about it and if I dropped my membership I would be out the $80 I had already paid for 1 MONTH of memebership. Beyond that, its impossible to get a hold of the corporate level to talk to anyone. To make it worse, when I walked into the gym they were running a special for $1 sign up. After asking about that, the front desk just answered "bad timing on your part." Thanks...

Scam charges
I agreed to the 3 month program with the gym with the agreement from the very start that at the end of the program no further charges would be made to my account.At the end of the program I was overcharged $200 the cost for each month of training. The trainer in charge blames management for the overcharge to discuss the problem with him. Management claims it was Jack who wrote up the contract wrong and that he is actually saving me $200 extra dollars that I would have been charge.The training was from06/13/07 to 09/13/07. My private trainer advised me of my last session and bid me farewell but the people in charge want to force me into taking an additional 10 sessions for the mistake that they blame on one another. I have been unsuccessful to make an appointment or talk to anyone to explain what is wrong why can I not get a refund.I was happy with the training and I would've gladly rejoined in the future, but the taking of my money and been forced into something I did not agreed to is out of the question.
Gym charges are $15 per month, $200 equates to a years regular charges is this the reason their holding on to my money so tight?They won't even give me that option to keep the money for they're still collecting monthly fees from my account, I never missed a payment, I always respect the premises, I paid for my 3 month training yet I am avoided like a plague, I'm always told by Al I'll look into your problem and contact you at the end of the day, but I never hear from him.This problem has been completely ignored by Planet Fitness I have even failed to get an appointment with someone to discuss the issue.
I've never seen such as lack of customer service or rather customer neglect to a customer that has never failed on his part.but gone that extra pump.

Asked to leave
I was a member of the club and one day the manager approached me and told me I was no longer allowed in the club and my membership was cancelled. I asked him why and all I was told was that I had improper activities, What the heck is that. Nate told me that he didn;t have to give me any reason why I was no longer allowed in the gym and it was his decision so he could tell me nothing else.
I feel if you are asked to leave a gym you should be given a valid reason. I feel this gym is discriminative against me due to the fact that I am "a meat head" in there eyes. I am a big guy 260 and lift more then anyone else in the gym. they have pictures of animated guys like "me" in the locker room with a red slash through them.
What kind of a gym that is supposed to promote health and wellness has a free pizza night and is a JUDGEMENT FREE ZONE. I think the judgement free part is the fresh flowers in the ladies locker room every day that is one of there "perks" alopng with the bagel tuesday.
Let's get real a gym is a gym and can;t we all just get along and workout and support each other.
I am personal trainer and I feel the gym was also intimidated by people asking me questions due to the fact that there staff is not as knowledgeable at all in the fitness industry. You cannot help your members if you are not motivated and able to be informative of there health and wellness.
Thanks and let's hope this can be explained to me

Rude Manager
i recently signed up to workout at Planet Fitness in york pa. so 1 day i was going in to workout and seen a help wanted sign, so i filled out an application. mind you you dont need to be a rocket scientist to work there, so after a few days i asked the manager(ashley) about what they are hiring for. i have a f/t job and looking for p/t work.she proceeded to tell me they werent hiring ( i no its because: 1) she thinks she is better then everyone else with her tight ass jeans on. 2) i have some professional tattoos done and i dont look like i just came off of GQ magazine.) so a few days past and i went to workout and there she is with 5 new "kids" at a table going over how to work there.. she hired them and now i feel discriminated against! i want to call her boss but dont know where to get the phone # from. i plan on changing gyms all because they have a manager who thinks she is better than everyone!! brad in york pa

Billing practices
I originally signed up for the $10 per mont no contract membership for myself and my granddaugter in December. In the end of January, my granddaughter left the state for work and I was diagnosed with a foot injury that required surgery. I notified Planet Fitness that I needed to cancel both memberships. They continued charging my credit card for 2 months after cancellation. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and with my bank regarding these charges. I was given a refund by my bank and was told that unless Planet Fitness could prove I owed the money, consider the membership cancelled. Well I didn't hear anything from Planet Fitness, the Better Business Bureau was satisfied that I got my refund and so was my bank. I thought this mess was over until yesterday, I received notices from a collection agency stating I owe Planet Fitness $120.56 for each membership. Now I'm about over the stupidity that they seem to perpetuate. I am filing a formal complaint with the Consumer Protection Agency and hoping everyone that has had a problem with them will do the same. It's about time a Class Action Suit was filed against them for their shear ignorance of the law. Join me and start filing complaints with the Consumer Protection Agency, let's see how they like it when it happens to them.

Continues Charging my account
So I have been a memember of Planet Fitness for over a year now, during my year I was abroad for 4 months (they would not let me hold my account) and then came back and finished my year. As soon as my year was up I decided to cancel my membership because I didn't enjoy the Planet Fitness gym. I went into the office and signed my papers and paid my upstanding balance. Normally I have the money taken directly out of my account however, my experation date expired and they said they couldn't use that card anymore so I gave them a new one to use that one time only. The following month I recieved a pink letter saying I owed planet fitness money however, they also continued to charge my account...I assume they guess my new experation date considering I never gave it to them and they continue to send me bills. I have tried to reach the general manager because when I went into Planet Fitness to take care of it the man at the desk gave me such a hard time and told me I was wrong...poor customer service I'd say...The manager took over 2 weeks to get in touch with me and she left me a message ignoring the entire reason I called I called her back ten min. later and have no recieved a call from her yet and it has been 5 days. I am sick of Planet Fitness, will never return and will tell everyone I know!
