    Well... I came for the first time and in my experience this gym is very abandoned compared to all the others I've been to and they should improve the cleanliness of the men's toilets. super dirty and the showers are no exception!!

    I go to this gym as it is convenient for me to my job. Its unfortunate that there are 3 showers and only one shower actually has a showerhead on it and people have to wait IN LINE to shower after their workout. It has been like this for MONTHS. Now NONE of the showers have shower heads! They really need to get it together in this gym. I understand this is an affordable gym but hold urself at a higher standard then this because its getting ridiculous at this point seriously.

    I really enjoyed using the bike here and they have an excellent biceps curl machine. Most of the equipment is excellent at this gym. This gym isn't very clean but it has fantastic equipment. It has the best equipment of all the many planet fitness gyms I have visited. Noel and Johnathon are very helpful and nice employees. My one complaint about this gym is that it is terribly overcrowded between 4 30 pm and 830 pm. I hate coming here when it is crowded.

    Our new manager Julie is a ray of sunshine, and the staff is top notch! They’re always going out of their way to make our experience there a better one. If you haven’t seen the new equipment they just got in yet it’s a must see!

    The place is awesome! I like that it's decorated for different holiday spirit. Halloween one is my favorite thus far. The staff is nice and friendly.

    Great Gym, staff very friendly and everything is aways clean and well taken care off.

  • 4/5 Kevin S. 2 years ago on Google
    I just left, but the staff is actually pretty great! They do a helluva job keeping the place clean and honoring the hours and being on time for morning and late hours. This is especially great because this location isn't really in what I'd call a great area lol. The reason for -1 star is... As mentioned, the area isn't really the best area and thus the parking situation isn't really the best. Additionally, if you are moderate to "serious" about being fit/shredded (i.e. understanding the importance of form/ROM/intensity in workouts/supersets/etc), then this place is DEFINITELY NOT for you lol. This honestly isn't the staff/location/etc's fault due to the fact that PF caters to a certain "beginner/not serious" level athlete/lifter honestly, but I still have to knock a star for that

    This place is a joke. I signed up for the gym back in August I have only been there once. I tried cancelling my account more than one time. I called and went in person and all I've gotten was an attitude and they have been charging me for 6 months. I can only cancel if I pay $35 when they told me to come after work and they will cancel no fees but the two gentleman laughed in my face. Also the manager is never there, she leaves during the day and is never available. Update: I need the owner to contact me, as I sent an email and got a general response. Called planet fitness and the manager is unavailable. Please stop charging my account.

    From the first moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly and helpful service from all of the staff, Julie stood out for her exceptional management skills. She is always available to help with any questions or concerns, and she makes sure the gym always runs smoothly. The equipment was in great condition and the gym is always clean and well-maintained. I loved the variety of machines offered. I also appreciate the relaxed and non-intimidating atmosphere of the gym, which makes working out a truly enjoyable experience. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my experience at Planet Fitness and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great gym in the area. Special shoutout to Julie and her great staff who make my experience truly enjoyable. Keep up the good work!

    The staff there are amazing 👏 very courteous. I walked in with an out of state black membership and forgot my mask, they kindly pointed that out and gave me a mask and even recommended certain masks for workout going the extra mile. Even when they close they are not irritated by other people working out late they are understanding and deal with it professionally. Thank you guys and gals for doing an awesome job and maintaining a place for us to work out!

    Just have to say how wonderful the staff is there. I go early morning and Jordon and Eddie are there to greet me always so happy and polite. Then on the weekends when I go there is Amanda she just terrific. Have to say that it’s a pleasure to go there. With the new manager there Julie well what can I say but only good things. Ever since she started always polite and greets everyone. This gym is my happy place.

    They need to take care and clean the bathrooms more often. The smell is really bad. Everything is fine but the bathrooms man…

    Amazing staff, Julie and Kevin are absolutely EXCELLENT. The machines are plentiful and in fabulous condition. The cleanliness of the gym and machines are immaculate. I actually enjoy going to the gym because the staff are so kind, they make you feel like family. I have never been so impressed with a gym. Whoever said it was “shady” is 100% wrong and is biased..she’s blaming the area? It’s downtown Stamford, it’s wonderful.

  • 5/5 Gustavo O. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm disappointed, I have been a member for many years ,I've been renewing my membership paying $105 in full, this year my membership expired on 5/30 , And now the manager told me that I have to paid in full $129.95 plus taxes after all this years I've been paying $105.00. If you guys are going to increase the price you should notify the members before the membership expires ,don't you think. Today August 25 ,2022 I want to update my review, The manager called me yesterday and told me to stop by at the gym ,and she will give me the $105 membership paid in full,so I did. The manager is such a nice lady, great person . Therefore I give Planet Fitness 5 stars . Thank you!

    The staff is friendly. I wish the weight room was bigger its always packed and sometimes you cant use the weights with so many people. Also make if you come here and you are using the lockers make sure you bring a strong lock as mines got broken into.

    9/10 the parking lot creeped me out but the gym was nice. A little dirty but the people that worked there was nice

    The men’s locker room is dirty and antiquated. The bathroom is also outdated. The machines and equipment are fine but that locker room will be the reason I drive to Norwalk instead.

  • 2/5 Jose T. 2 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    Can’t blame the staff for the lower rating they can only do so much. The members that go here have no gym etiquette. Weights never re racked or put back where they go, equipment never wiped down after use. Would be a better experience if the members that attend cared. Staff is cool, space and equipment are good. Members absolutely suck overall.

  • 5/5 Sabrina M. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff is helpful, friendly and welcoming. They do a good job keeping the gym and the ladies locker room clean, and overall the club is a nice environment with lots of machines. We used to belong to the gym at the Tully Center, and Planet Fitness is just as good and a fraction of the cost.

    Well if you like having your workout disrupted by rude people on their phone having loud, lengthy phone conversations this is the place for you. The only thing they're working out is their mouths. Guess they have to have something to distract them from actually working out. Sometimes people clean the machines after they use them, and sometimes they don't. Saw a guy the other day go to the bathroom and not wash his hands, and then proceed to workout on the gym floor🤮. Lots of rude and inconsiderate people work out at this gym. You have to wonder if these people were raised in a barn. Also, the gym is located on a construction site. Often smells like a sewer 🤢. There is limited parking spaces as well. The only reason I'm giving this gym 2 stars is the manager Julie. She is an absolute rockstar! Very friendly, kind, dedicated and works very hard to make this gym tolerable. She deserves a big raise Update: Owner reached out to me and told me to speak to the club manager. I told the owner I already did that, and it was the club manager who told me to write a google review to get the owners attention, which I obviously did. The owner through e-mails told me the club manager needs to deal with these issues. So basically the owner didn't want to get involved, so nothing was done. Why bother wasting my time by reaching out to me and acting like you're concerned only to pass the baton and do nothing about it??? Planet Fitness should change their motto from No Judgement to Nobody Cares, at least at this location🙄

    Great gym equipped with a variety of machines for a comprehensive workout. Whether you're into weightlifting or prefer other activities, there are ample options available. The black membership includes perks like massage chairs and a tanning bed and the price it’s reasonable to say the least. Julie & her team create a welcoming, judgment-free zone, making every visit a positive experience.

    This gym is disgusting, dirty and the personal don’t even care or advice ppl to clean after they use their machine!!! It is not sanitized at all…

    Friendly people at the front desk. Many machines. Clean facility. Convenient. Great price.

  • 5/5 Steven O. 11 months ago on Google
    If this is the Planet Fitness in Stamford, I would suggest to the owner to shut down your Gym and remodel and update your facility. The free weight part is ok, as is the rest of the workout part of your Gym. Except your Gym is dark, old and crumbling.Your Lockers, Bathrooms are horrible, they might as well be part of an abandoned warehouse. Corporate should pay your facility a visit. In comparison to other Planet Fitness Facilities that I have been to, your dark, old antiquated gym desperately needs an upgrade and remodel. You have the space and location, why not improve it? And keep up to date with the other Planet Fitness Clubs.

    I’ve been going to the Planet Fitness on Harborview for a while now. Over the past 1 year it’s become a very fun and friendly atmosphere for me to workout in. The morning staff Jordan, Eddie and Amanda are so wonderful. The greet you in the morning with a smile. Julie the new manager there is great and has really brought the place to life. I am one happy member..

😠 I’ve been going to this gym for about a year now. I have to say, this has to be the worst gym in Stamford and probably ever. Not only is it extremely small compared to other gyms, but half the machines are broken. They need multiples of certain machines as well but they refuse to. So many people are...

👍👍 Orange Theory is the best. This is the first workout for me that I genuinely ENJOY. I’ve been a member for 2 years and it’s never boring. I’ve been to several studios and while they’re all great, Stamford High Ridge is the BEST. I love all the coaches, the staff, and the community. I would give 10 s...
