Planet Fitness – Altamonte Springs

New trainer DJ, he is amazing. I workout with him at least 2 times a week, and I burn calories like crazy. Although planet fitness is small, it is worth going there for the price. If you like classes, this may not be the place for you.

I prefer the Lake May location, as its more big, better equipment, better access and better schedule. they need to improve this location for sure.

This place is a joke. Their motto ‘judgement free zone’ which is false advertisement. If someone doesn’t like what your wearing only one person has to say something and your not allowed to wear a shirt or short shorts because someone was affended. Oh please get a life. I’m sorry this is America can’t cater to your insecurity how pathetic and sad. If you don’t like it too bad. Gym small not enough equipment cater to people that show up once a month for pizza. Now that’s what I call fitness lol stuff your face with pizza and then go work out. I feel bad for the employees. They get to clean pizza vomit every first Monday of the month gross. I see short shorts all the time in there sports bras with boobs hanging out. Nasty old men with super tight pants where you can see outline of their junk. I go complain to make a point and nothing is done about it.

UPDATED: Found a great fix to avoid the judgmental managment at this «judgment free zone».
Travel a extra 2 miles to LA Fitness. When we told them at LA the issue my wife had with management here they looked at us bewildered. Like are you freaking serious. We made sure yoga shorts were allowed at LA. The reply, as the employees pointed at members in the gym «um yes, of course it’s allowed, that’s typical gym attire everyone wears here»…

If anyone wants to try LA Fitness for free. By all means message me on Unilocal here, or add me on FB, my FB is in my Unilocal profile. Send me a message telling me you want to try LA for free. I will personally add you on my guest list. You won’t return to PF. LA is HUGE!!!
The amount of equipment they have is insane, not to mention a pool, basket ball court, steam room, yoga classes and more.

Updated review. We’ve been coming here since 2008. But Apparently if anything offends someone then all they have to do is say something and it must be enforced. Apparently my wife can not wear the pole fitness shorts I bought her because someone was offended. Yep. The very excellent employee Jose approached us in a very professional manner and informed us an older woman was offended.
Upon speaking to Kim the manager we were informed of the rules. One of these rules, you can not see nipples through a shirt.
I have officially filed Complaints to Kim and Jose on 6÷23÷15 about
I filed a complaint against Cinco, you can see his man nipples poking through his white T-​shirt
I filed a complaint against the guy who takes his gym clothes off at the treadmill and wears nothing but these tight sport shorts and you can see… well… more then I care to, and i find that offensive.
I filed a complaint against a African American woman who was wearing identical shorts to my wife
I filed a complaint against a Caucasian woman with blonde hair in a pony wearing very short red shorts with 2 black strips in which you could clearly see her ass
As we were standing there talking to Kim a girl walked in wearing the same exact shorts as my wife, and I immediately pointed it out as this girl was standing side by side with my wife. I said «look Kim, shes wearing the same exact shorts as far as length»
I was told not to point out the member. I guess because the guy that was with the girl was now looking at me wondering why I was pointing to his girls ass hanging out. Why was nothing said to her? I called her out right there on the spot. I was told when I file these complaints the member must be there for the employee to see. But yet nothing was done?
As far as I know nothing was said to Cinco either, or the african american girl. If these rules are not equally enforced then that means it is pure unjust prejudicial treatment to my wife. and whats that word called??? Ohh yes, DISCRIMINATION
Is Planet Fitness now going to be known as a place of Discrimination? We shall see. I will be sure to keep my review updated.
PS: My previous review of the Planet Fitness staff remains the same. The staff here are excellent, and this has remained true for the last 7 years.

I can only speak to the quality of area Planet Fitnesses in general, as I’ve only been to this location once and didn’t really find it exceptional or deficient in any way that I can remember.
The price is low, and the gym is basic. No pool. The thing they say about «no lunks» is pretty true, to the tune of about 80% of the time. People here are much friendlier and don’t appear judgmental of strangers. It’s all pretty hands-​off, which I like in a gym.
One note on enrollment — they do require your bank account number, which rubbed me the wrong way, but as of now (I recently canceled and moved to LA Fitness, not a decision I’m thrilled with), I haven’t gotten any mysterious cancellation charges. I remember being told you have to be on a year to avoid cancellation charges.

I’ve been coming to this gym for quite some time now. Equipments are newer. The staff does a wonderful job keeping it clean.
I just wish gym users would wipe the equipments clean (ei. Handles, seats, etc) after themselves.

It’s not usually too crowded in this gym, but beware of after-​work hours. Around 4 – 6 it’s impossible to find a treadmill! Aside from that, I have no complaints about this gym. The environment is comfortable and clean, the other gym-​goers are very courteous when it comes to wiping down equipment when they’re finished, and the staff is a great bunch of kids with great attitudes and a friendly hello and goodbye.

Usually not too busy and equipment is well taken care of. No complaints!

Decently sized gym. The ammenities are nothing compared to what you’d receive at an LA Fitness but you’re paying a ¹⁄₃ the price. You’ll find monthly special’s ranging from $ 0 to $ 50 for sign ups so if you find that this month the costs is higher maybe wait till later. This location is very basic when it comes to equipment. You’ll find random assortment of free weights, cardio, bicycles, and cable equipment. Nothing fancy just the necessities you need to get a decent workout in. One of the best features it boasts over LA or other fancy gyms is that this location offers ²⁴⁄₇ with the exception of a short closing on sunday night. But they open at midnight that very day so you’ll be set if you’re a night owl when it comes to workouts. Overall very pleased for the price and needs of this place.
If you’re on the look out for a basic gym with new equipment then I suggest checking this place out!

Not my favorite gym. When I joined they told me that they were putting in arc trainers in less than 3 months… A year later, still no arc trainers. The machines are old and a few were in disrepair for the entire year that I worked out there. The machines were gross dirty, and don’t even get me started on the tanning beds! I wouldn’t even use them! If you live here full time I suggest LA Fitness. A little more expensive but totally worth it!

This gym bans meat-​heads from grunting and dropping weights.
Enough said.

If you are looking for a stream-​lined, just your basic gym, this gym is for you. PF does not lock you in a contract and it is only $ 10/​month. Depending on the promotion they are running you could pay $ 1 or up to $ 30 signing charge.
Ok, let’s hit some positive notes:
–Plenty of cardio machines (treadmills, stationary bikes, eliptical machines). Modern equipment in good condition
–Several TV’s mounted above the cardio area, with jacks to listen (CNN, ESPN, etc)
–Sufficient amount of flat benches (3) and incline benches (2) with a few adjustable benches that are portable (ie, on wheels)
–Free weights are iron with rubber coating (just no 35lb. plate) Very comfortable to manipulate/​pick up
–Tanning is available… no idea who uses it
–Maintenance is good and regular enough. Sufficient paper towel stations w/​cleaning spray to wipe down equipment, since a lot of fools don’t have gym etiquette or just plain common courtesy
–PRICE! No gym will beat this deal for what you get
On to the bad:
–No free weight squat rack! Are you serious? The staple of any gym, that dare call itself an actual gym. There are 4 smith machines instead.
–Dead lifts are not permitted, jumping rope is not permitted (I was told to stop doing both)
–Dumbbells only go up to 80lbs… This is a problem for me, and I am sure other men who would like to venture higher
–Mentioned earlier no 35 lb plate. Not much of a problem though.
–Most irritating/​hypocritical thing about this gym is the ‘Lunk Alarm’… A purple siren that staff will sound if someone grunts loudly or drops a weight (even accidentally). The hypocritical part kicks in here because this gym has branded itself as the «Judgment Free Zone». Hence the emphasis on ‘fitness’, welcoming all ages and fitness levels which is great by me. However, there is a sign with a cartoon drawing of the stereotypical roided meathead wearing boots, and a bandana with a circle and a line through him. I get what they’re doing… but c’mon it’s a bit much with the alarm. The more practical reason for the alarm is that the gym is on the 2^nd floor with businesses below.
I use the gym when I am back in town for 1 – 3 months, and so do a lot of college kids during the summer. Hey, it’s convenient and affordable! If I was permanently living in the area I would check out LA Fitness or a comparable gym that offers some classes, or that has a squat rack on the floor!

Mediocre gym that is very cheap $ 15 a month with FREE tanning!
My only complaint is they do not offer any classes… spinning, yoga, ect. they also do not provide child care services. I prefer Bally’s and that isn’t saying much.
They also kept charging my card every month 2 yrs after I canceled. Even after several complaints with management they never returned my $ 600…they misplaced my cancellation form. I take responsibility for not keeping a copy myself. But other than that… it was worth the $ 15 a month!
