Planet Fitness – Roseville

I’ve been going to this gym for 2 years. I can’t believe it took my so long to Unilocal about it. Shame on me!
Pros
Cheap rates
Clean lockers and bathrooms
²⁴⁄₇ no excuses!
TV, don’t miss your shows.. Again no excuses no to go to the gym
Tanning, electric massage chairs and hydro water massage
Cons
If you are a guy, the guys who are living on the down low will stalk you into the showers.. Just check out the Craigslist ads. plus my friend used to work here.. Sex in the showers 3^rd shift.. now this may only be my cons but ewww.
Some of the employees are grumpy. .don’t even ask about the mgr. the employment here is a revolving door
Peak times are just as bad at the end of the year. yeah because of new years resolutions. Plus after work.. You won’t get a machine. .
Tips:
Being a rag to spray cleaner on it to wipe down machines. It’s more efficient!
Go during low times
Don’t eat the pizza or bagels provided.. This is why you are here!
Danny is the new trainer. Go see him before he goes elsewhere too
Don’t forget flip flop! For the showers. .
Hair dryers are weak.. If you have long or thick hair.. Bring your own.

As someone who has been a PF member at various PFs across the country, this location is the best I’ve been to.
I was on vacation from Fargo and went to this location twice over the weekend. The staffer was quite friendly and signing in as a black card visitor was simple.
This location is great for a variety of reasons. First, it’s HUGE. There is space everywhere. The machines are spaced nicely, there’s ample room between each weight rack. My home PF, the weight area is tucked in a corner and it makes it very much a meathead-​in-​a-​sardine-​can situation in the evenings. Not so much here! Each section has enough space so you aren’t breathing down someone else’s neck. I also like the smith machines here as they have a thicker bar. A smith machine is never ideal for anything, but the thick bar does give a better grip which I enjoy. They had a couple different machines than my location which was nice, I just wish the dumbbells went higher than 70, even my location goes a bit higher at 75…
The locker rooms are spacious and clean as well. With each shower having it’s own door for privacy as opposed to cheap curtains. I would prefer paper towel dispensers to blowers, but that’s a personal preference.
Another positive is the patrons. There wasn’t the «hanging out on one machine talking/​texting on their cell phone for an hour» crew, that infests a large portion of the population at my home location. The patrons were serious, minded their own business and it showed as they were a bit more fit than the average PF customer. One guy was slightly obnoxious in that he chose a treadmill right next to me when there was about a dozen or so open at 9AM on a Sunday morning, so I stopped my workout and chose a different machine as I have proper gym etiquette. Can’t let one clueless dude ruin the whole bunch though.
Very solid PF location and if this was my home gym, I’d certainly be ecstatic.

BEST GYM EVER!
I started going to Planet Fitness a little over 5 years ago (the Brooklyn Park location) because they were the only gym that would let a 16 year old sign up (w/​guardian). Fast forward now and here I am at the Roseville location!
PROS:
–AFFORDABLE! This place is a great starting point for anyone looking to get fit without cashing out ($ 10/​month or $ 20/​month plans)
–The spaces are always clean
–Staff are friendly and easy to approach.
–Updated look, fans going to keep everything from smelling rank
–Many different types of machines and areas to suit someone’s tastes
–Inviting atmosphere (it doesn’t feel like everyone is judging your muffin top or mismatched outfit)
–24 hour faculty (Roseville)
–Massage chairs for «black card members» ($ 20/​month plan)
–Bring a workout buddy with you EVERYTIME for free! (black card members)
CONS:
–No fancy equipment if you’re looking to do «proper» dead lifts/​cleans/​squats (and by «proper» I mean not using machines and serve as stabilizers for your muscles, which isn’t a productive means of building muscle)
–Not very receptive to guest machinery requests (I’ve only been asking for a rower for 3 years… *sigh)
Overall, I love PF as a whole and have gotten many roommates/​friends on board. They definitely have my business!

I joined Planet Fitness during the winter in order to maintain fitness during the crazy Minnesotan weather. They were very nice to me initially, giving me a tour of the facilities which were very clean. I signed up online and entered my financial information for automatic billing. After the first month, I received an email that said they could not process my fees that month. Initially I thought I must have entered my bank account information incorrectly and went on to their website to re-​enter the information. The website accepted my new financial information and collected my dues at that time. Again, a month later, I received another email that stated my financial information was not correct.
I have all of my bills on automatic payments and am no stranger to entering my financial information online. For the 6 months I was a member of Planet Fitness, I had to re-​enter bank info every month.
Finally, I decided to cancel my membership and called my club. They stated I needed to submit my cancelation in writing, which I did. The next month, I received an email that my payment couldn’t be processed and I owed them money. I could not get anyone on the phone that could assist in any intelligent way.
I ended up having to file a complaint with the BBB. It took multiple attempts for Planet Fitness to even respond to the BBB and, only then, did they cancel my membership.
I gave them 2 stars because they did have clean facilities and are open 24 hours. Otherwise their customer service is so poor that it’s not worth wasting your money and time.

I relocated from Michigan to Minnesota and I really like this gym over the one back home. I will be here regularly.

I’ve been a Planet Fitness member for several years and haven’t experienced anything negative. It’s your basic gym minus the blinding purple and yellow equipment. You have everything from free weights, machine weights, treadmills, ellipticals, flexsliders, bikes etc. etc. etc. If you’re a tanner you’ll enjoy the stand-​up and lay down tanning beds. They also have massage chairs and hydro massage beds. Some places also offer red light therapy if you’re into that. I paid $ 20 month for the blackcard membership, everything I mentioned was unlimited. They are also open ²⁴⁄₇. $ 20! Not only that you can bring a guest for free. The guest won’t get to get to take advantage of the tanning/​massages but I think that’s still a good deal especially for couples/​families. They also provide bagels in the morning or pizza in the afternoon/​evening on the first Monday of every month! ;)
I’ve been to both the Bloomington and Roseville locations and the staffs are friendly and helpful at both! The shower and bathroom facilities are well maintained also. Roseville is primarily where I go. I love it here because it’s HUGE! All the equipment and machines are nicely spaced out; the facility is clean and doesn’t smell of sweat. If you’re looking for a nice affordable place to work out, check them out.

Facility is very good, although sometimes smelly. However, I’ve been a member for almost a year and have yet to be reimbursed for insurance health club benefits. I’ve spoken to several managers/​assistant managers there, filled out paperwork three times, and still no results. Insurance company is not receiving data from them. Beware!

There are so many reasons to love Planet Fitness! It’s pristine. The machines are always wiped down, if not by the gym members, then by the staff. The staff is friendly. They greet me when I come in and say goodbye to me on the way out. The locker rooms and restrooms are also very clean. The $ 10 monthly fee is easy on my budget, but the gym still offers all the machines I need to get a good workout — arc trainers, treadmills, free weights, a cable station, you name it! The only thing I find strange is that once a month, the gym treats its members to pizza and bagels. Yikes. Why not offer free fruit instead?

I was a member of Planet Fitness back in Chicago, and I gave their facility a 2-​star rating due to terrible customer service.
This Roseville location, however, is full of pretty cool humans. That makes all the difference! They even tell you to have a nice day every time you exit, even when you’re sweaty and disheveled and look like your day is far from «nice». Still, it helps.
Otherwise, this PF is an amazing value. I upgraded to the Black Card Membership (total of $ 20/​mo), so now I get unlimited access to the hydrobed, massage chairs, and tanning. $ 20 per month? That’s like a dollar a day, and with all the perks included it’s like THEY’RE paying YOU to be there! I must note, that as I am currently job searching, that I am able to come here during mid-​morning. So I am not sure how crowded it gets during it’s rush hours after work. I can imagine it would be busy, but I of course have never had to wait for a machine.

For the price this place blows LA fitness away. 2 times the equipment and ¹⁄₃ of the price. Who needs a lap pool and a gym with 2 hoops when you can go somewhere where you can get on a machine even at its busiest time, that’s how big this place is. Locker rooms are nice and the one thing I like the most is the 30min workout area it is awesome. Highly recommended for the price.

For $ 10 a month, you can’t beat it. I’d love a pool, basketball court and sauna but I don’t have the time. LA Fitness is only $ 30 a month if you wait for a deal. My workout is already 2 and half hours. I don’t have 5 hours to add the aforementioned amenities to my routine. The gym is clean and spacious. Can’t ask for more for $ 10

Pros: cheap, lots of cardio machines, large building and never crowded.
Cons: No free weight benches or squat racks. It has dumbbells and five Smith Machines but no free-​weigh barbells at all.
Their whole «no judgement zone» thing is fine… but it’s probably the fattest/​ugliest gym I’ve ever been to. It is definitely more motivating when there are very fit people working out near me because it pushes me to work harder. This place is the opposite, a very average person looks like a fitness model because most of the people are larger and some look like they are wearing Richard Simmon’s wardrobe.
It is pretty clean, but the lack of free weights is a deal-​breaker. I’m finishing my month and then going to LA Fitness and paying $ 15/​month more.
Plus, as a Chicago Bears fan it makes me throw up in my mouth a little because EVERYTHING is purple or yellow!

In a galaxy far, far away, lived a low-​key, cost-​conscious, machine-​heavy, and clean gym called PLANET FITNESS.
As a member of the Roseville Planet Fitness for the past four months, I am entirely happy with the facility and my membership. I had been looking into joining a gym for a number of months and decided to check out Planet Fitness. I wasn’t looking for a gym with a pool, sauna, or hoards of children, all of which Planet Fitness lacks. Instead, I was immediately drawn to the two circuit training areas and the large inventory of cardio and weight machine. A simple place to run and pump. But as an added bonus, they also offer tanning beds, massage chairs, and a hydro massage bed.
Patrons are in charge of cleaning the machines after they use them, and most people are really great about that. The common spaces and restroom, locker, and shower areas are always clean. In all of the times I’ve gone to work out, including the busiest time between 4:00pm and 9:00pm, I’ve never had a problem securing a machine or have felt too crowded by people.
The best perk about being a member at Planet Fitness is the price. There are two membership options — basic for $ 10/​month or the Black Card for $ 20/​month (both have small start-​up and annual fees as well). The basic membership is month-​to-​month and applies to the machine area only. The Black Card membership is a yearly contract and allows you to use the tanning beds, massage chairs, and hydro massage bed free of charge. In addition, with the Black Card you have unlimited guest privileges (machine area only) and can utilize any PF location. Plus, Planet Fitness works with multiple health insurance discount plans!
The only thing I really miss about a more amenity-​heavy gym are fitness classes. PF does offer a few smaller fitness classes that take place in the machine area, of which I have no participated in yet. There’s also a personal trainer on location most days out of the week and is available for one-​on-​one consultations/​training.
I feel like a Planet Fitness cheerleader! But it’s hard not to be with so much bang for your buff buck.

This is the best Planet Fitness I’ve been to ever! All the equipment and amenities are the same as others, but there are things this location does better.
— You can tell it was a Circuit City (yeah, who remembers that??), so it’s pretty spacious.
— The locker room (men’s anyway) is well kept and doesn’t smell of BO. They even have PF vinyl’s to wrap the hand dryers.
— Staff is friendly from my interactions with them
— Visitors know how to take care of the gym and put the equipment back where it belongs (maybe I’m just not used to it in Philly)
And just from observations, there’s hardly any overweight people! yeah yeah, judgement free zone… then again, that’s probably another MN thing compared to Philly :)

I’m not a member, yet, but did take a tour, and am 99% certain that I’ll join. Currently, the facility I’m using costs me over $ 1000.00 a year and the management is abysmal, but it’s five minutes from my home. If Plant Fitness had a steam room or sauna, this would be a no-​brainer. After my usual workout, 10 minutes of steam or dry heat seems to make a world of difference in reducing potential next-​day sore muscles. The Roseville Club does have hydro massage, but only one unit for the entire club, and its only available in 5 minute increments and for those who pay the higher monthly rate. That’s only the real negative. I’m going to give it another «look-​see» before I make a final decision. I do like the ²⁴⁄₇ hourly schedule. My current exercise facility, a St. Paul Highland Park non-​profit has significantly less hours.

I admit I was skeptical about a place offering memberships for $ 10/​month. Would the place be a dump with outdated equipment?
These fears were quickly dashed when I walked in there for the first time. The place was spotless and the machines all look brand new.
I basically need a place with treadmills so I can train for a spring marathon. For 10 bucks a month, why not?
It’s a unique atmosphere in there too. It’s probably 65% cardio equipment, and the rest is machines and a stretching/​exercise area. You don’t see the huge beefcakes walking around there, and this is done on purpose. There are a few rules in this place:
No grunting
No jeans in the exercise area
No hats other than baseball caps
Cell phone calls in the entry area only
Some people have issues with these rules (based on some websites I’ve been to), but I like them. They tell you this all up front. If you have a problem with it, there are a million other gyms out there.
As another reviewer said, the «peak» hours aren’t very busy. I’ve never had to wait for a treadmill or elliptical machine, even around 5pm on a weekday. However, I’m sure it’ll get busier when it’s been open for a few more months.
Another thing that has impressed me — whenever the staff isn’t working with a customer, they are out cleaning the equipment. Again, that place is spotless.
So this place isn’t too good to be true — it’s a great place for cardio and weight machines if that’s what you’re looking for.

Great place to work out if you hate a crowded gym. I was a member of LA fitness but it was getting just too packed. At PF I usually go between 4 and 6 pm and there is never a crowd. More positives
–Easy to find a parking spot
–Always open lockers
–No one ever uses the weights
–I’ve never seen the cardio more than half full
–You can watch 4 – 5 t.v.s at a time and get sound through the cardio equipment
–They have fans going so it stays cool
–Cheap membership fees
The only thing that sucks is the limited amount of free weights available. It’s also weird that they give out free slices of pizza once a month.

By far the best membership offered by a gym. The most expensive monthly membership is twenty dollars a month with a annual fee billed once a year.
With the black card membership you get unlimited free taning, use of massage chairs and hydromassage bed.
