    Iā€™ve been coming to this gym for a while now & the personal trainer has always made it super uncomfortable to be there with her bad faces. She took up all the leg machines & then argued with my friend & I because we were simply waiting to use them. Jaqueline (personal trainer) was extremely rude & unprofessional considering planet fitnessā€™s ā€œno judgementā€ policy. I had no choice but to cancel given this uncomfortable situation.

    Clean gym, nice desk staff. But the gym ā€œtrainerā€Jackie, is a whole different story. Signed up for a ā€œclassā€ but she was a no show. Ten minutes later she walks in the front door late and rude, rushing me thru the training telling me we didnā€™t have much time. She acted like sheā€™s doing us all a favor by showing up to work. I got tired of her condescending attitude and quit the session early. Dear lord, where on earth did you find this trainer, PF? It is the responsibility of both the owner and manager to hire good, personable staff, but they missed the mark big time with this so called trainer.

    It was my first time here. As a long time L.A. Fitness member, I couldn't help but compare. Overall, this is a cool, modern facility with an impressive layout, and front desk staff was helpful and friendly. It was a Sunday, but still found rest rooms and showers pretty dirty and unattended. Was disappointed that they didn't have soap in the showers although they were modern, and no toilet paper in one of the stalls. Could've used a little better instructions on some of the stationary bikes. Lockers were really small. Overall, seems like a good value but the membership they advertised was a Classic which limits you compared to the pricier PF Black Card.

    Arrived at this venue looking for information about the hours and the price. I need to create an exercise routine, which I have lost with all this Covid situation. I was fortunate to be attended by Luis M. who gave me a tour of the gym and a comprehensive explanation of the different areas and memberships. If you have any questions or plan to start in a gym, without a doubt I recommend this location and that you go directly to see the most friendly and professional who can guide you (Luis M.)

    I was met with very friendly and eccentric staff which acted very professionally and were very helpful. Damian recommended me some very good alternatives for drinkable and edible protein and Jacky was amazingly helpful and friendly! I would definitely recommend PF to my friends for the wonderful ambience and sense of community!

    Great location, but usually crowded, lots of cardio equipment but Smith Machines and free weights hard to come by...they only have 3 Smith machines which are always occupied...the area for core etc...also very tight. Staff is friendly and it is very clean, for the area its always busy and if it were bigger would be awesome. parking can be challenging but the do have a staff member that helps regulate. Overall other than is size good option and affordable for that location

    I have been a member of PF for a few years now and this is my favorite one to go to. Always clean and organized! The employees treat you great and very friendly! Iā€™ve known Rosa for about a year and she has kept that PF spotless! The bathrooms, shower, floors, sink and locker area are all super clean and organized. Everything is fully stocked and smells super clean when you walk in. Rosa always greets me when i walk into PF and after my workout. Sheā€™s the best!

    Every time I go they are always very friendly and quick to answer any questions. I like the hours but I would prefer they would be open later on Saturday and Sundays.

    I love this place. Great workout no one bothers you. Itā€™s very clean- which is great especially since weā€™re living with Covid. Today I met the lady who I saw cleaning her name is Rosa and had to commend her on the job she was doing. I was very impressed that there are still individuals in this world who care about the work they do no matter what.

  • 5/5 Alicja R. 9 months ago on Google
    I am beyond impressed with the front desk service at Planet Fitness! Especially from Luis O, he always welcomes me and motivates my friends and I! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and valued as a member. The staff at the front desk are not only friendly, but also incredibly knowledgeable. Luis O patiently answered all my questions about memberships and equipment, making sure I had all the information I needed to make the most of my time at the gym. What truly sets this Planet Fitness apart is their commitment to creating a comfortable and inclusive environment. The front desk staff actively promote a judgment-free zone, and I can honestly say that I've felt completely at ease during my workouts. It's obvious that they prioritize making every member feel respected and supported, regardless of their fitness level.

  • 4/5 Ron A. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is clean, and the color help make it feel welcoming. As with any low-paying job in a gym, some of the staff is welcoming and have a natural incline to customer service, while others seem to be there for a paycheck only. Overall the gym is clean, and the times I've been there it is not too crowded. The membership price is affordable, and the main reason I moved to the Black Card membership is to have access to the massage chairs, and water jet massage bed. If I didn't live so far from the gym it would keep the membership. If it had a sauna or steam room of give it 5 stars.

  • 4/5 Charles S. 2 years ago on Google
    They were completely out of bath tissue in both stalls in the Menā€™s room. Apparently this is a know issues there. I wish they would find a way to try and leave an extra roll or anything in there or at the front desk; rather than having the young woman who was working their acting slightly annoyed but me politely mentioning this to her. I saw her speaking on her cellphone several times while during for a very brief visit. Itā€™s fine if you want to go ahead and do that while on the clock (maybe it was work related somehow) but please donā€™t get annoyed with prospective members than. If you donā€™t want to be involved with such things and it bothers you that much please donā€™t work in such a position. At least the male attendant did show up shorty afterwards and fixed the problem. I went out of my way, with my own time to try and mention this, for other people not for myself. The club was fairly clean. However the way this young woman handle it and her general attitude was a bit off putting to be honest. She wasnā€™t outright nasty or rude to be fair. However she did seem a bit bothered and like she just wished she could go back to be in her own little world. Sorry but the customers really should be your priority while on the clock. My then feel like a nuisance sets a less than welcoming tone. No hard feelings. I can image that having people upset over something you canā€™t control my try someoneā€™s patience. I felt I was pretty mild with my tone, given how aggravating the situation was. Anyways consider it constructive criticism. Iā€™m still not 10O percent certain if I will be in an area that will have Planet Fitnesses close to me. I wonder if the have plans of opening any open near Key West or anywhere else south of Miami anytime soon. I would still recommend this club to people. Especially if your the type of person that isnā€™t phased by other peopleā€™s behavior. The other members I saw there also seemed to be respectful for the most part. So not necessarily a rough crowd thankfully.

    Overall a good planet fitness experience. It's and older one so the equipment is dated but they are well maintained. Staff and people were friendly. Parking is not as open as some of the other planet fitness but not an issue if you don't get there at during the afternoon rush 5pm ish.

    Great Gym and outstanding personnel. The gym is well-equipped with a wide variety of machines and has several other amenities. The personnel are all very nice, especially Adri, who is really sweet and always greets with a warm smile. Recommended.

    This is my first Gym and so far it has been a great experience. Iā€™ve been to about 3 locations so far and this one has been by far my favorite, itā€™s actually the only one Iā€™ve been going to. The vibe here is great, everyone does there thing and doesnā€™t try and show off. The gym itself is organized and super clean. The girls locker room is really big and clean. The showers are clean and spacious and so is the changing area. The staff is super chill and friendly and even the parking is great. I love my experience here so far and Iā€™m super happy.

    Every morning, when I arrive, I encounter Rosa who impresses me with her kindness and smile. Her exceptional cleaning skills, contributing greatly to the upkeep of this facility. Her diligent work ethic is truly commendable, leaving me in awe. Her cheerful smile always makes me feel welcomed, I must say, you have an outstanding team. Keep up the excellent work.

    Iā€™ll give this location at 4 star just for Natalie, this is my 2nd attempt to sign up. Natalie helped me out completely. She was very helpful and sweet, better than the store manager. The store manager should shadow Natalie for a couple of days to improve his customer service. Because he had made me feel uncomfortable and judged. I thought PF was a no judgement place. But I thank Natalie very much. I appreciate your humbleness and support.

    Rosa is amazing at what she does & executes her job exceptionally. Shes always so friendly and extremely motivating everytime I see her. Rosa and the staff at this PF are great as well!

  • 5/5 Dayami L. 1 year ago on Google
    Like other Planet Fitness facilities that I have visited, this is a perfect place not only to exercise the muscles but also to disconnect the mind. The staff is magnificent in general, but I would like to make a special mention of Rosa, who is an excellent worker, very dedicated to her tasks and, above all, very polite and measured. She makes us feel very comfortable when we are in the gym

  • 5/5 Eduardo E. 1 year ago on Google
    Iā€™ve been coming to this gym for many years and itā€™s nice to workout in a place where everyone (especially Alicia and Rosa) are friendly and nice. Thank you for taking the time to make members feel special. We really appreciate it! Happy New Year!

    I love this gym!! My experience here has been fantastic I have no complaints. The staff are all super nice and helpful. Especially Iris, sheā€™s always there to help and is always very kind. The Manager is wonderful too always receiving with a smile making me feel welcome.

  • 2/5 0 0. 1 year ago on Google
    Maria gave me attitude and rudeness when I called. Insulted my name and accessed my private information with out my authorization. The application doesnā€™t work. I checked my membership tab and the contracts and the dates and all else is blank. The gym is way too bright and usually out of paper and cleaning supplies. Also lots of weird people in the fitting rooms that openly talk about being homeless and using it for the showers.

  • 1/5 J S. 1 year ago on Google
    Not equipped for the number of people here. You have to get in line to use a machine that isnā€™t a treadmill. Note to management add more machines and take out half the treadmills. Not even a 1/4 are ever used

    DAYANNA,MARIA,AND LUIS H are very kind employees. They have always been attentive, helpful, and understanding with me. Today I saw them cleaning and wiping down the equipment. They are very hard workers.

    To Diana and Luis for showcasing an exceptional synergy at Planet Fitness in Westchester, FL. Your meticulous attention to detail and dedication to meeting customers' needs truly make you an invaluable team. Thank you for your outstanding commitment to excellence!

    I recently joined Planet Fitness and the team members have been very helpful whenever I needed something. Maria especially she always greets me with a big welcoming smile,she is very attentive, and goes above and beyond with her amazing customer service. She is very kind and patient. The gym is kept clean and well maintained. I really enjoy working out here.

  • 4/5 Jacinta M. 2 years ago on Google
    Location could be in a better place. The outside would deter some but just going in is a different scenery. Clean and plenty of equipment. Customer service could be a little better with just greeting customers as they walk by upon entering. Overall if you wanna get some exercise in go early if your shy. Im sure afterwork hrs gets busy.

  • 4/5 Richard Q. 2 years ago on Google
    The night staff so far its very professional and very friendly and helpful, the gym its not as big as other locations but it gets the job done. The thing that i liked the most is that its the only gyms that are open 24 hours and its good for people like me that like to work out but have night jobs, i would rate 5 stars if it was 24/7 like before but theyā€™ve changed the hours to 24/5 meaning they donā€™t open on weekends. overall you get good prices, and good equipment and fair workout hours.

  • 5/5 NoSunBeach 2 years ago on Google
    Lucky to have this location close to me. Only complaint is why only one Fly Chest machine in the entire gym? Somebody was on it for over 30 minutes doing more than 5 sets. There really should be two of every major machine like that and there should be some kind of policy over machine hogging. Also, I wish somebody would build a Planet Fitness near Dania Beach where all the rentals are going up.

  • 3/5 Laura K. 2 years ago on Google
    The gym is great and always super clean! But ive come to notice that the tall girl at the front desk always has a really bad attitude. Nothing against her! Other than that the customer service is always very nice :)

  • 5/5 Henry L. 2 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Barbara L. 2 years ago on Google
    Please read to save yourself the money, in no way shape or form am i blaming the front desk associates, but i am blaming the company as it is brutal the way they handle money and client throughout this pandemic. I was told several times i had to go in person or mail in a letter to cancel even after i let them know that i had covid, once i went in to workout for the last time and cancel my membership i could not even wrap my head around how dirty and crowded this gym was , even once i cancelled they still charged me and i had to cancel my whole card and dispute those charges, this company simply does not care , today my friends will be canceling their memberships as well.

  • 2/5 Richard B. 2 years ago on Google
    Been to other planet fitness locations around the USA. This one had a lousy locker room experience. Others provide body wash, shampoo, towels at their facilities. This one fails to provide these. The whole locker room XP was just wrong IMO. I failed to feel comfortable at this location as well as I failed to feel safe in the locker room. Nothing specifically threatening, just not safe. The equipment is the facility did appear to be well maintained. It was clear that I should not approach certain equipment because cliques appeared intimidating as if I was violating their "spot". The facility also closed off the massage chair areas but did provide a pair of massage chairs. I tried one. I liked it though others PF facilities provide better chairs. Overall I would not go back to this location.

  • 3/5 Tico G. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this gym but they have to do something about the the cable machine handles they are all broken and old the staff also need to be more aware of the paper rolls so we can clean the machines and the water fountain downstairs is bad if you are filling up your water bottle and someone else use the fountain to drink from it you cant fill up your bottle any more the pressure goes to one fountain only, and i though it was 24/7 it closes at 9pm Friday Saturday and Sunday other than that its a good gym good staff.

  • 5/5 Cari G. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently joined Planet Fitness with my son who has the High School Pass for Summer (a great program, thanks, PF!). It has been a good experience, and I'm glad he convinced me to join him. There is a good layout to the gym, and equipment is on point. The members have been helpful when I needed. In addition, we've been greeted by Damian multiple times with a big welcoming smile and Hello as we enter. His customer service and friendliness are not common, and this is really appreciated!

  • 5/5 Alondra V. 1 year ago on Google

    Excellent location. Easy to get to and park. It is especially clean recentlyā€¦ the new custodial cleaning lady that cleans the bathrooms, machines and common places does a very nice job. Sheā€™s super sweet. Thanks for all you do Rosa! My favorite location by far

  • 5/5 Elena M. 1 year ago on Google
    These are 5 stars for Damian at Planet fitness. He went above the call of duty to help register my mom with her medicare membership. There were technical issues with the computer but he was patient and SUPER efficient. He's very nice and engaging and clearly does it because he cares... didn't even ask for this review (which in many places they ask for). Employers need more Damians

  • 1/5 Raquel P. 1 year ago on Google
    The stuff at 8th Street Little Havana is very nice. They work hard. The gym is fine. I changed my rate due to an answer that I received from the corporation, in regard my request of opening until later on Fridays. See below The answer given by PF corporation to my review/request is ridiculous. So I changed my rate into one start. I shouldn't be the one talking to any manager (as their answer suggested me). In addition, the manager of the facility where I go it's reachable only from Monday to Thursday, in the morning or early afternoon. Those who need to go to the gym very late at night, we are not able to head the gym to talk to the manager at the time he's there. So no ways to transmit our concerts. The young employees who work at the front desk can't do anything. --ā€----------------------------------------------- Please open until later on Fridays. It's also a week and workable day, why to close at 9pm ss on Saturdays an Sunday?. The gym should be open on Fridays until 11pm, as it is from Monday to Thursday.

  • 5/5 Melanie P. 1 year ago on Google
    One of cleanest, nicest and friendliest PF iā€™ve ever been too! Wonderful customer service, ambiance, constantly super clean and organized.The bathrooms are also organized and super clean. Iā€™m always greeted by Rosa when i enter the restroom before my workouts. She keeps the bathroom smelling great, everything is clean, including the sink and toilets, everything is stocked and the floor is spotless. Rosa has been one of the nicest employees to me at PF and treats all my other friends the same! Sheā€™s the best!

  • 5/5 Cynthia U. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been a member of this gym for a couple of months, and it has been excellent. I began my membership to access a personal trainer specifically, and Jaqueline is a true professional, dedicated and committed to achieving your body goals. I have trained personally with her for months and have seen a transformation in my body, goals I could not achieve on my own. She is a great personal trainer, and I would highly recommend this gym and working with Jacqueline.

  • 5/5 Im_iDr 1 year ago on Google
    Starting my journey at the gym was very nerve racking however the support I received at this gym was impeccable. After talking to the front desk I felt quite confident to start my journey. In particular the employee Luis H was a great help in calming me down. He gave me pointers on what is a good way to start. He also convinced me that this would be a judgement free zone and I was accepted no matter what.

  • 5/5 Luis R. 1 year ago on Google
    Recently started going to this gym and have had a pleasant experience since day one. Machines are always kept clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Luis H in the front desk is very friendly and attentive. It's very encouraging going to this gym and encountering such a lovely staff. Would definitely recommend!

  • 4/5 Maria B. 2 years ago on Google
    Parking is always a breeze as the lot is huge (though you might have to walk in from the back/side) and the front desk is always very responsive when you tell them that a machine is broken or they're out of towels/cleaning supplies. The bathrooms are clean though I wish more of the lockers had shelves in them when you're planning on showering after a set. The one gripe that I could have is that a lot of the machines aren't fully adjustable to someone with my short height so I often feel like I can't get a proper rep in without having to scoot up/back/sideways etc. Oh, and I wish there was a designated space for personal training. I always feel bad waiting on the clients to move on or interrupting them by walking where they're doing lunges.

    Iā€™ve been a member for almost a month, and I love it so far! I come almost daily, and I find the staff excellent in every way. They treat you with kindness and respectful and are professional and passionate about their work. Their help is always welcomed with a genuine smile. I like that the equipment is new and fresh and there are plenty of options for my workouts as a former D1 college athlete.
