Planet Fitness – Peekskill

Has everything I need for a complete cardio and weight workout. It is bright and clean with all new equipment. Plenty of locker space. Average size showers kept mostly clean. Bathroom area spotless. Gym could use Spinning Bikes, rowing machine and perhaps a punching bag. Definitely needs more benches during busy times, however floor space may limit that. Circuit and cable machines are perfect. Extra perks for Black Card Members are great. Heated Hydro massage beds are very relaxing, as well as the massage chairs. Plus the power to check into any Planet Fitness in the US is awesome when traveling, or even to mix up the atmosphere every now and again. Glad I joined.

You can’t polish a turd.
Remodeled, and still dirty and mismanaged. The Peekskil, NY location’s new equipment is similar to the stuff that was replaced from other locations 2-​years ago!
No soap in the showers. Missing hooks and empty sanitizer dispensers abound. Add shitty music and a manager whi refuses to even listen to suggestions and complaints, much less do a damn thing about them. A recipe for you to join NYSC, Retro, UFC, club fit, or even Golds… all places where you have lower risks of infectious disease and bed bugs.
YUCK!

Renovation is great! Keep up the good work. You get out of a gym what you put into it

Gym is very crowded and not very clean. They keep selling memberships and don’t care about the load. Billing is another mess. Paid once at the counter and a month later they started hassling me saying they didn’t receive it. Speaking to the CS rep on the phone was another picnic. Dumb as a box a rocks. Another health club billing f up. Good luck with this hot mess.

This use to be a wonderful gym. It has gotten so bad there that after numerous warnings I had to report them to the health department. It has gotten so they don’t even bothering cleaning the machines and you can literally write your name in the dust. They have also stopped using the air conditioning all the time, they keep running out of supplies, the floor is coming up in places and people are tripping on it. The heat and humidy in that place has become unbearable and very unhealthy. I never heard men complaining before but boy are they complaining now!!!

Horrible experience. I quit this gym and now happily paying much more at another gym. At least I now don’t have to deal with rude members who hog the weights and have no respect for other people’s time, leave a mess wherever they go, and overall act like they are some part of a gang. I’ve never been to prison, but I imagine this is how it must feel like. Buyer beware, you get what you pay for at this Planet Fitness.

Dirty, smelly, small, very little weights and obnoxious members. If your planning on going late at night or super early in the morning carry a knife or pepper spray for protection.

This place is ok if you go during the day. Clear out by 5pm! I felt like i was in the prison yard working out with the inmates. Very ghetto people standing around blocking your workout. Scary during rush hour! I’ve never seen so many people wearing nylon do rags in my life.

I was a member for 3 years but stopped coming because when it got busy it seemed really hot and humid. Trying to bang-​out a 45 min cardio session after work sucks when it feels like it’s 85’F with 90% humidity. The cancellation process is a bit of a pain as you have to physically go in and cancel in person but the staff doesn’t pressure you into continuing your membership (which is nice).
The cardio section is huge and they have various TVs on different channels that you can zone out to. They offer free Wi-​Fi which you log into using your membership number and is good for streaming Pandora and the like. When I started there it was a good mix of people (various fitness levels and both young and old) but this past year the clientele seemed to lean younger and male during high peak times. Trying to walk into the women’s changing area felt like a gauntlet of stares as the area that the guys hang-​out at is right next to the women’s restroom. I’m sure this doesn’t bother a lot of women but for me personally it was a little intimidating. If they moved the smith machines to a different area away from the woman’s room it probably would get rid of that problem. The stretch-​out area is tiny and there were a couple of times where I had to stretch out after my cardio in the women’s room (which is big!).
It’s definitely affordable ($ 10/​month plus a yearly fee) but it’s time for me to find a better gym.

Open up your wallet Planet Fit and spend some $$ on this place. Spray bottles, ceiling fans, janitor and better tv heads set adapters.

I joined at this location on a whim because it was close to work, but I prefer the one in Wappingers where I originally was a member for a few years. This one is smaller and super crowded and always felt humid to me. I only went a few times and then used my black card membership in Wappingers instead on weekends. Eventually I stopped going so when my year was up I canceled. It’s not a bad deal but this particular location wasn’t for me.

Ok I know what your thinking people, this gym is not all that. But it gets the job done, and for cheap. Centrally located.
Get in, do your work out, and that’s that.

decent

For $ 10/​month it gets the job done. If you dont need classes, a trainer and do well on your own they supply the equipment and showers.

Always packed especially during the hours of 5pm to 9pm, a total reunion with people that you do not want to see, nonetheless work our with or show them your fancy sweat clothes.
The guys are all in competition to see who has the biggest arms and can bench the most, locker rooms feel like a crack house out of Harlem, and I’m sick of going in there and feeling like I’m on display just upon walking in the damn door.
It’s crowded machine and equpiment wise, people wise, not as sanitary and clean as many assume, and its not worth 10 $. I’d rather shell out the 79 $ a month for a space with exactly that… SPACE, and available machines, less people, more to offer, a clean locker room w saunas and the works.
NEXT THIS B*TCH

When I first joined it was ok. Not to crowded, mixed crowd and machines all were in working condition. As time went on, it became packed, still crowded at 9pm at night. When machines broke, they wouldnt be repaired sometimes for months. The mixed crowd became predominately South American and people don’t speak english and many people don’t wipe down equipment as they are supposed to and changing rooms smell. Staff allows kids who come with parents to play and work out on equipment even though they are very very young.
Even for $ 5 or $ 10 dollars a month, it isn’t worth it.

Pretty good gym, has the basics !!

The facilities are overcrowded, even in mid-​afternoon and always dirty, especially the showers, locker room and circuit.
A lot of machines are broken for extended periods of time.
I paid them $ 56 for the privilege of cancelling my membership in June and they’ve charged my card $ 29 every month since. Now I have to close my account and reopen a new one to stop the charges.
If you want to join make sure it’s a lifetime commitment cause they’ll never stop charging you.

I like this gym a lot because it gets the job done. It is perfect for those who are busy and want to be in and out. They have an ample amount of treadmills and ellipticals so there is never a wait. The best part about this Planet Fitness is that it is open 24 hours Monday through Friday– perfect if you want to work out late or very early before work. So if you are looking for an affordable gym ($ 10 a month plus startup fee of about $ 40) and good hours, this is the gym for you.
I am giving them four stars because they are only open til 7PM on the weekends– I wish it was 24 hours then too, or at least til 11PM or so.
They are open until 7pm on weekends which

Definitely no Equinox, Planet Fitness is purely a place to work out using cardio equipment or weights as they don’t offer classes (although I did see information regarding some sort of personal training). You also have to bring your own towels, as they are not provided.
There are plenty of cardio machines though (treadmills, bikes, ellipticals), so even during peak hours, there shouldn’t be a wait. I didn’t see any cross-​trainers or rowing machines, which I prefer for a total body workout. The stretching area is small in comparison to the rest of the gym, and there are no mirrors.
The locker rooms and bathrooms are kept very clean and there are even private stalls for changing (good if you’re coming straight from work to use the gym).
Overall, the membership price is a steal (I think it’s around $ 10 a month), so I use Planet Fitness to supplement my other gym membership because Planet Fitness is usually open 24 hours. I wouldn’t advise going to the gym at 3am, unless working out with the Latin Kings doesn’t phase you.
