Planet Fitness – Bayonne

I haven’t been here in the winter time, but when I go now the gym is relatively quiet. Although I disagree with the music I put my headphones in and do my workout to my own music. No one bothers you and you see all different types of people. Gym is always clean and someone is always cleaning they even have males clean the female room. Overall $ 10 a month is very cheap for the amount of equipment in the gym. I always receive a Hello and have a nice day.

This place is awesome and makes you feel at home. My wife and I share a Black Card Membership. It is, hands down, the best gym deal I’ve ever come across. Clean facility, good variety of fitness equipment. The staff at the Bayonne Location are what make this gym special. They always welcome you when entering and they never forget to say goodbye and have a good day. We will be moving soon and will miss Bayonne. However, we will find and join another Planet Fitness. I’d definitely recommend this place to a friend/​family.

I’ve given it one more star because it was easy to cancel. Isai, young man at the front desk, is so helpful and professional. He should be employee of the month. I might just reconsider Planet Fitness in the future, not now.

The facility is huge with plenty of machines for every kind of workout you need/​want. Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is definitely non-​judgmental, so you feel relaxed without feeling intimidated by the more experienced folks. It’s a great gym with lots of parking and convenient hours of operation.

Liked the gym and staff, but new owners make payment difficult with recurring checking account only payment. Won’t accept cash for prepaid annual membership either.
Just doesn’t feel right. Finding new gym. Also parking lot craters need to be fixed.

My husband and I joined PF when we first moved to Jersey about a year ago. It’s affordable and the one in Bayonne is big! I prefer going to yoga, or barre classes but for our budget at this time it works for us. The staff is extremely friendly and even knew when we got married! PF also offers some classes as well. We have taken the biggest loser class and it was tough but really good! The trainer was awesome. We definitely recommend PF if you are looking for an affordable no frills gym!

Just started going here in the last month, since I decided it was time for me to join the masses & sweat sweat sweat (oh yeah, & get into better shape!). Well, it was a pleasant surprise to find that everyone from staff to clients are down to earth, friendly, approachable, and non-​judgemental at all. There are all types of people, from housewives to seniors, bodybuilders to dieters, 20-​somethings to middle agers & more. I feel really comfortable walking in here, no one glares or gawks at anyone else, everyone is just there for the same thing — to get into/​stay in shape.
They have tons of different machines from cardio (stair climbers, bikes, eliptical) to weight machines for every body part (and I do mean EVERY one), weight benches with free weights, a stretching area, & even tanning booths & massage chairs for those who want them.
I find the crowd varies depending on time of day — early morning are those people who are serious about just working out/​exercising & getting on with their days. 10am or so are housewives, ladies of leisure & retirees, 5−6pm the 20 – 30’s who enjoy watching themselves in the mirror, & late night the really serious or those who need to come after work. So, join up, scan your barcoded card at the reception desk, & head off to your favorite machine. You can plug your headphones into the cardio machines to watch one of 10 different TV channels on screens in the front, or just jam to your own musical selection on your phone. Before you know it, you’ll have finished your workout & be ready for the next part of your day. They are open 24 hours/​day Mon-​Thursday, Friday until midnight & Sat/​Sun 7am-​7pm. Memberships are either $ 10/​month for an individual or $ 20/​month for individual with 1 guest for unlimited visits. Both include access to a personal trainer &/​or classes if your heart desires or if your heart can take it!
So, get up, get going, get sweaty, & get fit!!!

Pros: I see people I know. TONS of parking. All new equipment.
Cons: The bathrooms are ALWAYS full of grime.
They still allow people to be loud which is the whole point of that «lunk alarm» which doesn’t work.
They never really clock me in so I can basically go there and give them my number which is expired. Which I’ve done for almost a month already.
They don’t accept Credit/​Debit Cards for a monthly membership. it’s 2014, you guys really don’t accept Credit/​Debit Cards???
Other non-​planet fitness gyms are open better hours.
A majority of the time there is no one in the front desk. Customers are sometimes waiting in upwards of 10 minutes for help.

I live right across the street and use the gym about ⁴⁄₅ out of 7 days week…
Pros: lots of treadmills if its bad weather outside. they just got a bunch of brand new machines.weights. .and treadmills… cheap price… open 24 hours which is great cause i mostly workout at night.
Cons: no classes… not a lot of free weights… other than that i dont see a problem. Its 10 bucks a month so i dont expect much. I thought i needed classes but i already know how to exercise.
I may leave soon but doubt it cause at the end of the day… fitness is about space and opportunity and thats what planet provides

Signed up in Feb and come to find out that I signed up for a contract. When I told them I wasn’t planning on staying in the area long. Now me and my boyfriend are stuck in a damn contract till 2015.
Pro: The only pro is for those who want to lose massive weight due to half of the gym being taken up by cardio machines.
Cons: Who wants half of the gym with cardio machines? Women do now lift! There are no free dumbbells, machines are old and usually broken. Weights are never in the same place. We have a Black card but no one at the front desk knows how to ring up drinks. Every other day we were being charged a different amount. The women’s locker is disgusting. Don’t ever take a shower there! The staff in themselves are incompetent and never around to attend to customers.
Overall, this planet fitness sucks! I hate coming here and can’t wait to pay the early term fee which is $ 68 to leave this place.

This isn’t my favorite planet fitness but it is one that I frequent pretty often. It’s decent. It doesn’t have the best machines but they are adequate. There is always an elliptical available. Honestly you are pretty much getting what one would expect from planet fitness. There is plenty of parking and the temperature is always perfect.
The reason for three stars is the roving bands of teens that come in here. They are loud, annoying and they misuse the gym equipment.

If I can give no stars at all I WILL, this place sucks, my friends and I we always come to work out as a group for more than 2 years, and they hired a young girl () she was acting crazy and saying to keep it down while we motivate each other. She gave us a warning for working too hard! We complained to the manager about her me and 4 other friends… but unfortunately the manager was her boyfriend and he said that he has to cancel the membership to all of you! Childish crap To be honest

Since they increased the price without additional features, they loose a star.
This is a no frills gym with most machines working but a good portion are out. The crowd is everyday gymers which is nice but it does lean towards the younger crowd. Black card really isn’t worth it.

Great place for cardio… thats it, very clean and friendly staff. Only joined because my friends wanted the $ 10 month deal. This one has tons of teens running around taking up machines not really working out. Little annoying.

Men’s bathroom is a virtual cesspool. The smell of urine from rarely cleaned urinals is not acceptable. The floors under the urinals are saturated with old urine. The sink area is messy and looks rarely cleaned. The shower floors are dirty. The walls in the whole place are splotched with sweat. The water fountain has mildew and red mold growing quite visibly on the whole thing. It’s like they NEVER clean here! Disgusting.
This means the exercise machines are probably never cleaned either except for when the members decide to clean after themselves which is the minority of the time.
The treadmills are deteriorating. The headphones hookups are so faulty. One was even giving me minor shocks in my right ear. That is, the one I finally found to work. Then I find one that fully works, but when I go to turn on the treadmill to begin it doesn’t even move. The exercise bikes are in poor shape. This place is in serious need of some supervision and maintenance. What the hell is going on?

I guess it’s true when they say you get what you pay for. While I appreciate the low frills, low cost gym membership, I do not appreciate a nasty gym. I feel as though it’s hard to even complain since the membership is so cheap. However, the men’s locker room is never clean, some of the the remote controls on the machines do not work, or have been snatched off and the wear and tear of many of the machines is starting to show.
I am not sure that mgt even caress knows or care. It takes more than a spray bottle filled with pink solution to keep a gym clean and charming. Check it out for yourself, but I have a few pictures to prove!!!

I like this place very affordable and very clean. This Club does lack in theweight training department but its great for a 45 min cardio work out after work. I signed up for New York Sports Club in Bayonne for the weight training but kept my membership af PF. How can you go wrong for $ 10 a month. Planet Fitness is a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

I’m not a meat head nor i want to be super buff. I just want a place where i can get my workout done without people huffing and puffing next to me. Planet Fitness pretty much is a strip down, college like type of gym. They have all the equipments that i need in a gym. Monthly fee is cheap and you get little discounts on drinks and other stuff. My only gripe is the hours during weekends. Would be great if they open later than 7pm. All in all, pretty nice place.

A. Tons of avail parking at 5pm; zero avail treadmills at 5pm
B. Lunk alarm needs to be put to use more often
C. 60lb dumbells max?!
D. The fenced-​in circuit training area is never used correctly
E. Too many teens in my way
F. No one knows gym etiquette in this dump
I will hit it again since I am a «guest» and its free for me.

Planet fitness in Bayonne is a good Option compared to the other gyms in town.
Pros:
–ONLY $ 10 per month membership!
–Large parking and always parking available
–Open 24 hours during mon-​fri.
–Friendly staff unlike some other places coughforumcough
–Wide veriety of machines
–Tanning available (if your into that; personally I get tan from just driving)
Cons:
–No free weights other than dumbells (good dumbell collection tho) such as extra bars for various excercises
–Peak hours are busy (and January… damn people and their stupid new years resolutions)
–No bball, raquet ball, pool, sauna or steam room
But overall its a very nice atmosphere, clean, well kept, friendly and only blocks from my house. (please don’t stalk me)
