Planet Fitness – Boise – Orchard

I am impressed with the service and the staff are great. They have a good selection of equipment considering it is a smaller gym. I started out with the $ 10 monthly fee but recently switched to the updated version which gives me access to massage chairs and a hydro bed and tanning booths. I think paying a little extra is worth it to have the option to use ANY facility if I go out of town, etc. However, the updated version ($ 20 per month) does come with a year long contract just so you know. The best part for me? I do not feel «out of place» there at all. There are plenty of bigger sized patrons so I feel like I fit right in! Besides most people are there to work out and don’t have time or interest in judging others. I would recommend this to anyone especially if you are just starting a good workout program. My only complaint: they close at 7pm on Sat and Sunday’s. That is a good time for me to work out. Otherwise it is well worth the money. I also think the temperature is a little too warm sometimes. Worth checking it out and with the updated version you can bring a friend any day!

Like a million other Americans, I joined a gym early in January. I joined Planet Fitness at this location. It was not ’til April that I actually went there for some much-​needed exercise.
So far, I am just using one of the cardio treadmill machines, which is probably state-​of-​the-​art … lots-​o-​selections from which to choose. I like it.
The facilities are very clean and absent of the body odor, which can knock you over at other gyms.
The single-​location monthly membership is $ 10 and you certainly get your money’s worth. There is a second, more expensive membership choice, but I found the basic membership just right for me. I’m not gonna move in, just visit now and then.
I’m giving it four stars and not five, because I wish they had, say, a sauna or a steam room. But, of course, such facilities would greatly increase the monthly membership fees.
The ethic there is a non-​judgmental environment, which is a good thing. I was once a member of a gym in L.A. that was the complete opposite. I felt sorry for the women working-​out there. So, what Planet Fitness is doing is great. They call it «No Gymtimidation» … very smart of them. (Find a need and fill it.)
All-​in-​all it is a good deal for ten bucks a month. I am a satisfied customer. Give it a try. There is no contract. So, you can drop-​out any time you wish (not sure if this is true of ALL locations).

I switched to Planet Fitness after Body Renew went belly-​up. The facility is large, clean, and the equipment seems to be well maintained. I haven’t had any difficulty accessing the free-​weights (which was a common bottle neck at Body Renew), and the locker rooms have plenty of space.
So far I view it as a great gym overall. I reserve 5 stars for those gyms that include pool access, however.

Simple business model, great people, clean space, variety of machines and additional services!
This is not a gym for body builders, buts it’s perfect for the average joe that wants to get in shape.
I love the 30 Minute Circuit room, 10 Minute Ab room and the cool-​down area. Locker rooms are kept clean and are never full. Great selection of tv channels to zone out to!
I love that you can use any PF with a black card!
I do wish it was kept a little cooler during hot months.
