Planet Fitness – Fresno – East Barstow

Gym is really nice and clean, I like this gym the only bad thing about it is that it’s too cold in there, just way too cold in there

The equipment there is good there is a good amount of exercises to do. However staff isn’t too friendly, they hardly acknowledge their members out of the handful of times I’ve gone. Good gym, staff needs improvement.

This gym is great. Overall very very clean which I view as a MUST for any gym and to top that off the staff is very helpful and friendly. Good place to get your basics done and the crowds are good people. A+ for this place If your looking for extreme weight lifting or crazy spin classes this is not what your looking for this is the place for maintaining your work out. Love this place hope it continues to stay clean and welcoming.

Joined here a few months back and I’m so glad I did! I have never had any problems with them. I always get the machines I need and the facility is very clean! I have a black card, so I get to utilize the perks of the massage chairs/​tables and they are awesome. I’ve also gotten a few friends to join. Very pleased overall with my experiences so far.

I have family in the Fresno area and visit from time to time. I called PF to find out if they allowed drop in visits for people out of the area. They do but they charge a $ 20 fee for each day. Now perhaps this $ 20 /​day charge also includes use of the nifty hydro massager and tanning beds (seriously? people still tan in tanning beds here?) or other club amenities etc., but the woman I spoke with didn’t mention that. So my assumption was I’d be paying $ 20 to run on the treadmill for an hour which seems a little ridiculous considering, 1. the club is in Fresno as opposed to some awesome resort and #2 according to the PF/​Fresno website, their basic membership costs $ 10/​mo, aka 50% less than their 1 day drop in fee???
Other gyms that allow drop-in’s typically charge between $ 10 – 15 per day which seems a little more reasonable.

I just joined Planet Fitness this week and I’m very happy I did. Since I go at 5am I’ve been able to use the equipment necessary for my workout that day without having to wait on someone else. So far every staff member has been helpful and friendly which very much appreciated since it’s always a little awkward working out at a new facility. And most importantly it’s very clean. Not only is the gym kept clean but I’ve noticed others members making a point to wipe down the equipment they use as well which always nice, no one likes working out on machine that has someones sweat all over it. I’m happy with Planet Fitness decision.

This place is awesome! The staff is super friendly and is never crowded. Tons of tvs in the cardio area. They have tanning beds, massage beds and chairs, free training sessions and free food!

I absolutely love this gym super friendly staff can’t complain all the equipment is available all the time love it

I live out of state and I just love the black card benefits. Having 1,000 locations across the USA makes it easy for me to achieve a consultant workout, regardless of where I am. The Fresno, ca location I visited today was super big, super clean and 100% what I expected it would be!
After I work out I will hit the tanning bed and call it a day! I love this gym!

Pretty much the same as all of the other reviewers have written. I am in town for the weekend visiting family and, since I pay around $ 200/​month for my gym at home in Los Angeles, I figured $ 10 for a month membership plus a $ 10 initiation fee with no commitment was a no-​brainer, even though I am only going to be here for a week.
Although I was initially put off by the fact that the strip mall it is located in looked dusty and run down, I was pleasantly surprised when I walked through the doors. The interior is spacious and everything is shiny, new, and clean. It’s true that a lot of the equipment is cardio and I can’t really speak to the free-​weight situation since 99% of the time I use weight machines but, for my purposes, I would give it 5 stars.
The only reason I am giving it a 4 instead of a 5 is the way the billing situation is set up. It’s definitely not very customer friendly. Despite the fact that I told them I was only going to be in town for a week and I had paid my $ 20 in cash, they INSISTED that I HAD to give them my checking account number. If not outright sleazy, that definitely seems like it’s got the potential to be. What, are they hoping I forget to cancel and they can score an additional $ 10 every month? I’m not sure what the motivation there is but it left a bad taste in my mouth.
Still, though, it’s a nice, clean, comfortable gym with friendly people and it’s better than not going the gym for a week!

This gym is amazing in every way. It is open ²⁴⁄₇ the staff is helpful and it is never to busy. They lack some free weight materials but if you know how to workout you can still get the same exercises. Ex. They don’t have a free weight barbell bench press but you can use dumbbells for bench press or the smith machine which helps spot you. This gym may not be the spot for heavy body builders but it is a comfortable good start gym.

I rarely write negative reviews on Unilocal however I could not resist with this sorry excuse for a gym.
Traveling in from Orange County I wanted
to grab a quick workout with more options than my hotel gym.
The Pros:
— It’s a gym
The Cons:
— Dumbbells only go to 60lbs
— 75% of the gym is cardio equipment
— No free weight bench press
— $ 20 day pass (monthly membership is $ 10)
This gym is more interested in Pizza Monday’s, Bagel Morning Wednesday and free tootsie rolls (no seriously) than having an actual athletic club.

I have been a member of four gyms in my lifetime, and Planet Fitness has easily surpassed all of them.
1) I love how clean they keep their bathrooms, ammenities, and equipment. Everytime I’m there I see at least one or two team members cleaning, which is comforting when not everyone is curtious enough to wipe down their machine after use.
2) For 20 bucks a month I get unlimited access to the gym equipment (open ²⁴⁄₇), tanning, hydro massage, massage chairs, and access to the beauty angel (infrared technology that makes your skin look amazing). I am also able to bring a guest anytime I please. This is an AMAZING deal.
3) The staff is very helpful, and always seems to actually be working unlike some other gyms I’ve been to.
4) I love the dress/​conduct code. It’s a refreshing change from places like GB3 (a meat market). I see a lot of people serious about their regimen without all of the unecessary booty shorts, bare midrifts, and grunting. They also discourage (and actually enforce) talking on the phone on the gym floor. NOBODY cares about how wasted you got the evening prior.
5) There are so many machines you will never have to wait to use one. At my location on Barstow/​First the equipment is all brand new.
I would recommend this gym to anyone, with the exception of those who need childcare, pool, sauna, and extra heavy weights for advanced weight lifting. This is a gym for the average Joe and for those with a more strenuous routine. There’s something for everyone without all of the drama of other gyms.

Very good and clean gym I love it. Good customer service awsome equipment. Very good price for membership. Honestly I’ve been to four gym in my whole workout life time lmao. And this is truly the best bang for the buck. And you gotta try the massage beds there amazing. For 20 bucks a month with this brand new equipment I couldn’t ask for a better gym. Thanks alof planet fitness for the awsome gym.

First things first… I left Blast Fitness for this gym. I have the black card membership and the extras they provide and the fact that thier open 24 hours is what really won me over! I love the facility and so far every staff member I have encountered has been really nice and really helpful. The black card spa is fabulous and I love how it’s secluded in its own area and you have a lot of privacy unlike Blast Fitness. If you just want to work out and don’t want any over the top extra frills this place is for you. If you need extras like babysitting, a pool, or a sauna then unfortunately you will have to look else where. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is for the fact that during the day I spotted security but at night/​early morning (when security is needed) I did not. Overall the facility seems to be equipped with all MY fitness needs… now off to the water massage beds!

I was a member at their Kings Canyon location but this location was much closer. Honestly love the new gym! I like that their machines have more space around them and the set up of the three separate rooms. My favorite room is the Crossfit style one with the synrgy360. It has spiced up my fitness routine for sure!
Staff is very friendly and allowed my roommate and I to work out at this location even though we haven’t fully transferred. I am a white card member and I have no problem paying only 10 dollars a month an the annual fee which is like 50 dollars. I have no time to use the amenities. It’s only a tanning machine, massage chairs, massage beds etc…
If your looking for more amenities, aerobics classes or if you’re serious about weight lifting than this gym is not for you! In my opinion this is a great gym to learn about the machines and what works for you by talking to the trainer. After that, it’s all up to you and how much effort you put in if you want to see results.

I love this location, they have a $ 10 (no contract) and a $ 19.99 membership (contract for 1 yr) they are open 24/​7, the staff is friendly and the classes are free to all members regardless of your membership level. I purchased the $ 19.99 membership In order to use the massage tables, chairs, tanning booths, unlimited guest etc… This gym is very clean and the guest clean equipment after ea use, people workout there look like me and not intimidating, I am a fan. I joined when they first open so my fee was $ 1, I believe the membership fee is now $ 39/​$ 49, no pool, weights up to 60lbs, if you want to check it out there is a $ 20 fee but if you join they place that towards your fees, tip find someone w/​unlimited guess membership and go for free to decide if it’s the gym for you

Joined about a 10 days before they opened. Changed my mind, checked contract, I had 5 business days to cancel. Canceled on the 3 business day, they informed me they are going to charge me for the first month even though they haven’t even opened, it’s how their billing cycle is setup?
This sends up a huge red flag for billing practices for a gym. Check your fine print…
One of the major flags that I asked about is that they only allow direct billing with auto withdrawals taken out from a checking or credit card, you cannot pay in cash at all, no other gyms bill exclusively this way…
Wanted to complain, no corporate number to make contact with… only by email?
Good luck to those who don’t heed this warning…
