    Look, at the end of the day, you get what you pay for. Pros: 1. It’s $10/month + $39 annual fee, so net ~$13.25/month. That’s simply unbeatable. 2. Tons of treadmills, 30min workout zone, tanning, massage chairs, adequate weights. 3. Solid staff, never had any issues. Cons: 1. A lot fewer machines (specifically weight related) than your typical planet fitness. Makes sense because of location, but it’s still a bit inconvenient. 1a. No rowing machines. 2. Equipment tends to stay broken for a little while, but I’ve noticed this has improved recently. 3. Not necessarily the club’s fault, but there’s a lot of nasty gym goers (makes sense considering the price) i.e never wipe the equipment down, spend 45min+ on one machine and refuse to split sets with you, use 2+ machines at the same time during rush hour, etc. Typical gym etiquette 101 that is simply ignored here — consistently, mind you, it’s not the exception. Look, overall, it’s 100% worth $10 and you can get in a solid workout, though if your budget allows, this might be best as a ‘backup’ gym (which is what I use it for). As an aside: The ‘teens workout free’ program they run in the summer (mind you this is national) has to be one of the dumbest business ideas I’ve ever seen. These kids have absolutely no idea what they’re doing, they spend excessive amounts of time the machines, break equipment, act like they own the place, smoke in the locker room, etc. I know, I know, I sound like an old man, but when I’m a paying customer and they’re not, it rubs me the wrong way.

    As early in the morning as I went, it was quiet, clean, and had plenty of parking on the street. Can't say anything about normal daytime hours. The phone holders on the machines don't fit my Galaxy S22 Ultra, but that's my own fault for having a phablet.

    It’s fine. Does the trick. Just rush hours are a pain in the butt. Tip - have the staff walk around and correct people who have ZERO etiquette. Mostly older folks and clueless jerks. Case and point this older man who was on a Smith for the entirety of my workout (50 minutes) just came to a tread and put his things on the tread next to him for storage. It sucks when the members have to police other members.

    The only good thing I can say about this location is the convenience of this location. I wrote a review with pictures months ago in regards to the constantly dirty female restroom. The manager emailed me personally and from then on it was clean. However, today Monday June 26th (9:29 a.m.) I called and spoke with Eddie in regards to being charged twice for this month, because one they didn't take the money out on the actual date which is the 17th of every month for me. They took out the money three days later which didn't go through. So I made a manual one-time payment. Late last night I was charged again, I was trying to explain that to Eddie over the phone and he put me on hold without even saying anything, very unprofessional. And then a lady took over with the same unprofessional attitude. They weren't trying to listen to my situation, they were only responding to what they wanted to hear. This was the last straw, I'm done with this club.

    All I want to do is work out after work. Never machines available. Some staff is great while other just give dirty looks. Im a teacher so I don’t see the anything wrong with young athletes but honestly taking up all the machines. There should be designated days for youth workout. So that I can plan my workouts without the heavy crowd. I really hate working out here. Not a pleasant vibe at all.

    Most of the staff are great. I did see a man at the water fountain between the two locker rooms angling his head at the ladies locker room. I'm also pretty sure the yoing girl at the front desk cleaner looked through my unlocked locker.

    The membership is the cheapest around, so you get what you pay for. They run periodic deals for kids to get them engaged which is great, but they have a limited capacity and minimal equipment which makes it difficult to get what you want when you want it. Overall it's a good experience, but definitely limited with workout supplies. They're good at fixing things when machines are broken. Staff is very friendly.

    Smallest, most cramped planet fitness I've been too. Has almost all the typical PF equipment, but def squeezed in. Also, gets pretty busy, so have to come really, really early, or during the day. Staff is fine and the rest of typical planet fitness.

    Love this place. Wasn't sure about getting a gym membership anywhere near the city bc crowds but this place is not as crowded as Manhattan gyms are. My only complaint is that if a machine breaks, it stays broken for months bc labor and parts shortages.

    Good gym for the price. Even at peak times it isn't uncomfortably crowded which is great. Everyone that works there is nice, too. My only complaint is the temperature - I'm warm before I start working out and have ended my workouts early because it's just so hot in there. Hopefully it'll get cooler inside once the seasons change. If it doesn't, I might join another gym.

    Look, the location and price you can’t beat in Hoboken. But equipment is always dirty, random equipment will be broken or loose (the bikes on the bottom floor are hit or miss). There’s also been dried poop in the male bathroom stall for the past two weeks. A broken sink for who knows how long. And the water fountain doesn’t work. I really couldn’t care cause the price is cheap, but at least provide an estimate of when all this will be fixed with a sign. Never any real improvements. I’ll change my review when everything is improved

    The black membership card is the way to go, save on money as to other gyms. You can bring a friend and planet fitness also offers tanning with the black membership! Can't go wrong. I love the convenience of this gym! 😍

    Friendly staff and attractive membership fee. The space is not enough for a gym though. It’s so hard to find available equipment sometimes and it’s also too close speaking of the equipments.

    I went in to cancel my membership as I was moving, spoke to someone at the front desk, they said I was all set and that it would be canceled at the end of the billing cycle for the month. Come to find out, they never canceled my membership, and I've been charged for the last 4 months. I've called the front desk 4 separate times, each time been told a manager was not available or "busy" and that he would call me back. He never did, and apparently no one will give out an email or direct phone number to him to speak with him. For what is their mistake, I now have to keep calling and calling, hoping to catch him when he's not busy, as he seemingly will never call me back.

    Pricing is ok, but gym is poorly managed. Equipments not working for months, restrooms are not functioning well. Only reason we chose the gym as there was no other competition in journal square area and it is showing in the way this place is managed

    Hello, I think the machine layout of the gym is wrong. Although there are not enough mirrors, the existing mirrors are behind the treadmills. As you know, we need to check ourselves in the mirror while working. However, this is currently not possible. Machine distribution needs to be redone, treadmills need to be placed in front of the window and other platforms need to be moved in front of the mirror. There are also a lot of treadmills but the cable tool is just one.

    I was pretty disappointed with the customer service here. The gal at the front desk was attempting to help me make this my home gym, which I wound up having to do on my own anyway, all the while another guy at the desk was very short with her and made me feel like I was being an inconvenience. They never gave me a tour of the facility or told me about any classes like most PF do. This will be my home gym as it’s just down the street from me, but I’ll probably be using other gyms in the city. I wasn’t impressed with the layout or CS

  • 3/5 Dante M. 10 months ago on Google
    Does the trick. I lived about a ten minute walk from this PF during the pandemic, and used it quite frequently for about 3 years. For the most part the staff is always professional and patient. Only problem I truly ever had was trying to explain that limiting the stationary bikes was a bit of a pain since they already had the least units of all the cardio equipment. To that I got sort of a prolonged stare and shrug. Also, all of the bikes are recumbent, I don’t know if that’s to promote a more welcoming atmosphere for old folks who like to ride stationary bikes, but it seems silly to not have at least a handful of regular stationary bikes too. Otherwise, as other reviewers have said, my main issue came with other members. This is HOBOKEN, going anywhere here one expects to be met with a wave of transplant-based entitlement, many times I encountered old gents who just threw their stuff anywhere rather than using a locker. Staff is pretty receptive to asking people to not do that, but they certainly don’t police it on their own, so that’s on you.

    We spent a month with my family in Hoboken, one of the fiesta things we did was a Family breakfast in this place, it was great, generous portions, well served, proffesional servers and the food was just delicious. We stayed for a while and visited several other places, but so far this guys know what they are doing, it seems to me they have been quite a long time since everything just works flawless. If you want to observe how a restaurant should be run, this is the place so far.

  • 4/5 Scott W. 9 months ago on Google
    For the price and location, you can't beat it. I try to avoid this gym between 5 and 7 on weekdays. Overall the clientele are pretty friendly, mostly in their 20s and 30s. My only gripe is that there should be more flat benches and the free weight area should be bigger, but the space isn't that big so they do the best they can.

  • 5/5 Muhammad H A. 6 months ago on Google
    Brand new gym, brand new workout equipment. Clean and tidy. And yes, lots of space. You don’t have to wait for your turn to workout like Blink @JSQ. Professional staff.

  • 1/5 Pradeep B. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible management. I was unable to go the gym due a medical condition. When I tried to cancel my membership and ask for a refund, these guys asked for my medical documentation and then simply disappeared. Even after submitting everything and following up constantly for months they didn’t respond. I submitted everything first to Alex, the manager there and then to Michelle Rose. Highly frustrating and disappointing that they want medical records and then ghost me.

  • 4/5 Affluent Oscar S. 1 year ago on Google
    Just joined but wow place looks amazing and smells so clean which is a major difference from the previous gym I was at. The parking is a huge added plus and the hours for 11 dollars a month it is worth it, now time to get busy and get that summer body ready

  • 5/5 Divy P. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing gym. It is well equiped and membership is really cheap!

  • 3/5 Tamau R. 1 year ago on Google
    Smaller than expected and I didn't see a few things I'm used to seeing at the many other PF I have visited. Overall, it's fine for what I need. I'm in and out.

  • 5/5 Cristobal m. 1 year ago on Google
    Planet fitness has everything I need for a good workout. The staff is friendly and the place is clean. And yes, the price is right.

  • 5/5 Janet H. 1 year ago on Google
    The Hoboken location is very spacious with alot equipment. The operating hours gives you time to get in a good work out on a flexible schedule.

  • 5/5 Nandini K. 2 years ago on Google
    It is clean.. hygienic All the people are aware of cleaning equipments with sanitizer once used..

  • 5/5 Bullet mage G. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place although I had a hard time keeping my rhythm since there's (always?) a crowd , will try going towards closing and towards opening time and see if there's a way to get a full workout without too much momentum lost. Staff keeps place clean, I love it so far
