Planet Fitness 13240 Metropolitan Avenue, Queens, NY 11418

"I’ve been going to this gym ever since it first opened. So I’ve been lifting here for 10 years or so. First of all, I can hardly call this a gym. Years ago, the free weights only went up to 65 , now they’re at 75 but that’s easy to lift after training for a while. Theres no flat bench press, just a few smith machines. Back then, you used to be able to get a 3 day pass just to try out the gym if you liked it. Now you gotta pay $20 for a day pass which IS NOT WORTH IT. You could almost never find the matching dumbbells you need. After 5:30 on a weekday you might as well skip the gym cause it’s so damn packed. So many kids and stinky old Indian people. It’s more of a community rec center than a gym. I hate it here. Gonna have to do years and years of therapy because of planet fitness"

"This gym is not bad but more maintenance is needed. The machines need to be cleaned by staff more often and I know it might be difficult to do but a lot of people here do not take after themselves. There are literal puddles after some people use the machines here, gross! Also, I feel like there are often days I see people with no membership entering the gym, and they are not even guests of someone with a membership. I have seen people just walk in while someone at the front is taking care of someone. Its very unprofessional and prevents paying members to have to wait for machines that freeloaders can use. Not fair at all."

"The machines are often dirty and people don’t wipe their sweat. Some questionable people also come into the gym. I’ve been going to this gym for a very long time. For as long as I remember there have always been women janitors in the male locker room. No one ever cared, there would be naked guys changing and showering and the women would clean. Recently, there is a new woman janitor who knocked before coming in an announced she was female. No one cared. When she did come in, she looked at us like we wrong for changing and being in there . She even blocked off the shower and said I had to wait before i could use it! Why can’t she just clean with us there instead of making a big deal out of it? I wish I knew the times the janitors clean so I could do my business without someone impeding. If not, I’ll probably just find another gym."

". The experience at this gym has been consistently disappointing. Equipment is often broken or poorly maintained, with many machines out of order for days or even weeks. The cleanliness standards leave much to be desired—trash in the locker rooms, dirty floors, and rarely cleaned equipment. The staff is either unresponsive or indifferent when you ask for help, and the gym is so overcrowded that finding a spot to work out without waiting is almost impossible. Overall, it's not a place I'd recommend if you're serious about your fitness or value a clean environment.""

"Mostly comparing this to my experience at other planet fitnesses in NYC and similar price point gyms. Clean, well equipped and well maintained. Good arrangement and spacing of equipment over all. Dumbbells are of good quality and quantity. Minor issue of lack of weight plates among plate machines and only apparent water fountains are not on the main floor (3rd). One of the better Planet Fitnesses I've been to and good value for no frills gym."
