Planet Fitness
Overview
Planet Fitness is known for a lot of things. They've got tons of equipment, clean and spacious locker rooms, and the friendliest staff around. They're also the home of the Judgement Free Zone®, which is a somewhat fancy way of saying they're a laid-back environment, where you don’t need to worry about that hardcore attitude you might find other places. You'll find a wide range of cardio and strength machines, classes, and more.

I joined this gym a couple months ago and overall it’s been a pretty good experience. The place is clean and the equipment looks well taken care of. The staff are friendly and usually greet you when you walk in, which is nice. It’s never overly crowded, even during peak hours, so I can get my workout done without waiting too long for machines. The only thing I wish they had was a few more stretching mats, but other than that it’s been great. Definitely a solid spot for regular workouts.
I know everyone has their own idea of what “clean” looks like, but the women’s locker room honestly feels like when you’re rushing to impress a guest and just shove everything into closets or under the bed to deal with later, except the “later” never happens. Like laundry! The sink, toilet, and outer changing areas always look nice and put together, but the second you walk into the actual changing rooms or showers… it’s another story. It’s filthy. I’ve mentioned it before since there’s that sign asking to report anything that’s not up to standard, but nothing was ever done. I shower here almost every day as this is my main location and half the time I feel like I might catch something resting against the walls. It’s definitely not the same across all Planet Fitness locations though. Hammer Lane is a little better, and Lodi and Manteca? Spotless. A few weeks ago, I decided to speak up again (even though it gave me major anxiety because I hate coming off as a complainer), but the next day there was actual improvement! I talked to a woman named Judy, and when I asked how often the locker rooms get cleaned, she said “every 30 minutes” or something like that. She happened to be there the next day, and I made sure to find her after my shower to personally thank her. It really meant a lot that she took my concern seriously and didn’t brush me off. Ever since then, the showers have been noticeably better, less mildew, less leftover hair and conditioner stains. I totally get that it can get busy and people are constantly coming in and out, but that’s exactly why those 30-minute checks are supposed to happen I thought? There’s just no excuse for a wad of hair to stay in a shower for two weeks (sometimes a month!). I wish I was exaggerating. Shoutout to Judy again, she’s always so kind and greets everyone when they come and go. I told her I’d leave a review, so here it is (even if it’s mixed in with my rant). And hey, if you’re hiring a part-time custodian, I’ll gladly take the job. I’ll scrub that place top to bottom, I actually like cleaning!
The gym is very spacious, clean, and has enough machines for a good workout. I was pleasantly surprised to see a Power Rack here, which I haven’t found in other Planet Fitness gyms.
My girls wanted to workout so we join this place. Staff is nice and friendly. No intimidation in this gym. People just do any workout routine that they may have. But really busy on weekdays. Sometimes it’s hard to go to the free weight area where I want to go sometimes. It seems that people likes to hang around there.😂
I've been going for most of the summer and im so happy they just got a bunch of new equipment. The older stuff was fine but the new free weight platforms and weight loaded press machines just feel so much better! The layout is a little weird, but I still love the variety of equipment and don't have to wait too long to exercise on a machine I want.
