Planet Fitness – Melbourne

BE AWARE: Even if you send a letter to cancel your membership (as required), they will continue to bill you if you have a balance on your account. The person who handles the billing at this location is an absolute NIGHTMARE!

Best gym for your money. I do miss having a pool but for the $ 20 a month black card fee with unlimited massage chair use its well worthy the money. (2 chairs and 2 Aqua beds) This location is consistently busy but never so much that you have to wait for equipment to free up. Lots of parking too.

As a member, I do not feel out of place inside this gym. The staff/​members seem nice and are happy to lend a spot when needed. Though not geared toward intense weight training or cardio classes, this gym will satisfy the average person, as they will find this gym to be more than accommodating in terms of equipment and services offered. No pool, however. Late PM/​early AM hours seem to be the least crowded. Buddies get in free with your $ 20 premium membership, but a regular membership is only $ 10 monthly, so you do the math.

I guess the adage, «you get what you pay for» should explain my issues with this $ 10 gym; but the problem is I often have felt I don’t even get that much.
While there are plenty of elliptical trainers and treadmills there is much to be desired when it comes to free weights. And while Planet Fitness prides themselves on their «Lunk Alarm» what they really need is the Bro Police to stop guys from using the one squat rack in the entire gym for overhead barbell presses.
All in all, I am just riding out my contract and waiting until the day I can go join a real gym.

I have been a member for over two years here and the gym is well worth the $ 10 a month. You cannot and will not beat the value here. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The locker rooms are clean as is the gym overall.
My problem with this gym is the machines. Too many worthless machines on hand and not enough good ones. Example: There are two smith machines and one free weight rack. The smith machine can be very bad on your knees when performing squats on them. They should add another free weight rack and a power squat machine as working a leg routine here is very lacking.
I am not sure if PF still has free pizza and bagels on some days but they need to get rid of that nonsense and put the money into better machines. If you come to this gym expecting to work out in a small class environment with an instructor then this is not the gym for you. They do have personal trainers for an extra fee.
This gym is very good and gets 3.5 stars in my opinion overall. Just the leg workout machines are detrimental to your knees so expect to do alternative exercises with free weights for them as I do. For my style of working out I recommend this gym.

This is one of the few PF locations with free weight barbells, bench and squat racks. The lunk alarm does not go off here, unlike at other PF locations. But the equipment has seen better days. The barbells need to be wd-40’d, as loading plates is next to impossible. Newer and more updated equipment would improve this place by a longshot. Also, the staff was pretty aloof.

I’ve worked out any many gyms and Melbourne FL doesn’t have that much to offer for gyms. We are missing the big ones like 24 HR fittness, Gold’s, and LA Fitness. Although, this is a good gym for the Melbourne FL area. The price is right at $ 10 bucks per month too. The size of the gym is good with new equipment and tanning beds. The free weights are nice along with the cardio equipment. This place has most of the equipment I need for my workouts. I’m still a member after 2 years, if that says anything.
