4 /5 Jarrod Kelly: I’ve been a member of Planet Fitness for some time now and have always appreciated the affordability, cleanliness, and welcoming atmosphere. However, one area where the gym is starting to fall short is the condition and quality of its equipment.
Many of the machines are outdated or show visible signs of wear and tear—squeaky treadmills, worn-out cables on resistance machines, and cardio equipment that occasionally glitches or shuts off mid-workout. While the staff does a good job maintaining what’s available, there comes a point where maintenance just isn’t enough.
Upgrading the equipment would not only enhance the overall workout experience but also align with the brand’s goal of providing a “Judgement Free Zone” for all fitness levels. Newer machines often come with better safety features, improved ergonomics, and modern tracking capabilities that members increasingly expect from any gym.
Planet Fitness has built a strong community by being accessible and supportive. Investing in better, more reliable equipment would be a great step forward in keeping members motivated and ensuring the gym remains competitive with others that are raising the bar on technology and quality.
Hope to see some upgrades soon!
