Planet Fitness – Miami – West Kendall

Good price, well-​kept machines, convenient location in west kendall, and very friendly and attentive employees. Only complaint is that there are a little too many cardio machines and the weight lifting section is a little too small.

When we joined this club we based joining on the flyer we received. Black card privileges we would receive unlimited access as well as guest. In addition to this the advertisement stated 1^st month free. Turns out that is not so as well. When we signed up they said that is only for regular memberships. We keep the ad which stated all these things. Now we are being told the massage chair is only for members not guest argued that as the ad and the sales person said otherwise, they sorry that’s not correct. Even the advertisement stated the same unlimited guest privileges. I am submitting this to our family attorney for review as it should be considered false advertisement and the old bait and switch. This what these companies have to do to survive the current fitness gym war.
Update: email their corporate office and a week later no response. My attorneys are reviewing the. Promotional flyer and website and have mention class Acton. False advertisement employees stating incorrect information and the old bait and switch. Don’t advertise unlimited for black card members and guest if its not. There is no such thing as unlimited when restrictions apply. Went across the street to youfit and got offered a better deal_​waiting on likely termination of contract through attorney

Awesome place super chill great service always clean

I’ve been looking to join a new gym but this place doesn’t offer guest passes. Lost a potential member, and I’m sure I’m not the first.

I have been coming to this Planet Fitness location for over 2 months now and I love it! Coming from different gym locations such as Youfit and LA Fitness, Planet fitness has been meeting my expectations since the first day I walked in. I go in the later evening which is when most people are leaving and I ALWAYS find the equipment I need and most important, the free weights. Gym regulars know how frustrating it can be to never find the weights needed to have an effective and efficient workout bc most meat heads hog like 3 – 4 sets of weights. (Especially true in LA fitness) This gym is mostly Meathead free, the staff is friendly and doesn’t make you feel like you are bothering them and it is very clean. Cardio machines are connected to various TVs for your entertainment and their hydromassage are great after a hard work out. Overall, I love this judgment free zone and I feel extremely comfortable working out here and have all the necessary equipment to reach my fitness goals.

A big man like myself can’t be any happier with a judgement free zone. Chill in and out hour with decent tv channels preset.

Now the be fair this is seriously A BEGINNERS gym. So with that said this should already paint a picture for you. The equipment is cleaned frequently & rarely broken. The front desk girls are very nice. The trainers will train you for as part of your membership. They have a great massaging bed & offer a tanning both. With $ 10 & $ 20 a month it’s a very affordable gym. That wraps the positive.
If you’re an intermediate lifter or advanced this is not for you at all. They favor cardio machines over weights. The machines are a bit limited & the chest fly machine they only have 1 so people will wait you out all the time for it. Also I learned after leaving this gym for Youfit, that the machines & Dumbbells are lighter than they say. I realized it after trying to do the same weight at different Youfits & couldn’t do it. So that progress your making is inaccurate. Also no free weight bench press available only smith machines. I was also maxing out most the machines
If you’re interested in getting a trainer, although the membership includes free training… don’t bother. I never took up any of the training myself simply because I watched them train others & they don’t know what they’re doing. The members don’t sweat because the trainers talk more than actually train their clients.
Now I would’ve appreciated them giving out free supplement samples, energy drinks, protein bars, coupons for supplements at other stores once a month but the whole 1^st Monday of every month free unlimited pizza is unacceptable to me. The 2^nd Tuesday of every month is free bagel & cream cheese. Your gym shouldn’t be responsible for you cheating. Keep in mind that pizza day is PACKED don’t bother going that day you won’t accomplish anything. Everyone comes in groups so like 6 guys can be working out one machine or standing around machines talking doing nothing…
This is not exaggerated.

I’ve been working out at this Planet Fitness for a few weeks now and I am very happy with my experience thus far. I’ve worked out at Youfit, Porky’s (RIP), and (Club) LA Fitness, and while they each have their own advantages and disadvantages, the one thing about Planet Fitness that sets it apart is that it truly is a no judgment zone. I don’t have to deal with peacocks hogging the weights and posing in front of the mirror as if they’re at some bodybuilding competition, and I haven’t had to wait very long, if at all, to use the machines. The staff is about as friendly as any gym staff I’ve come across. They look like normal people and not like juiced up roiders. If you want to have a good workout every now and again, be healthy and aren’t concerned with «getting swole» then Planet Fitness is the gym for you.

There is a few gyms scratch that this is the only gym that I can walk into an no one will judge me. Why? They have a judgement free zone and if someone dares to judge you press this button and bam they will know that person has been judging. It’s a really good gym to go too. I enjoy it better than any other gym out there, the price is amazing and I like a good deal. So if you’re feeling blah or had surgery or wanna tone your legs or perk your boobs come to planet fitness!

Well I just signed up today and it wasn’t crowded at all late morning. The staff are friendly so it seems like a great place

I actually like this gym but it’s not as good as YouFit Health Clubs right across the street but it’s good I like it. The staff is friendly and called them to work out but my only complaint is that 20% of the machines were working but whatever there were a lot of machines so yeah I would like to come back

I’m going to write my initial review and update as necessary. I have only been a member for about a month. My initial impression was obviously a good one, or if would not have signed up.
The pricing is the hook, line & sinker of course. But it definitely helps that the place is super clean and well maintained. The staff is also friendly. There are tons of cardio machines and about two of each type of weight machines. I have never waited for a machine (with exceptions as if will explain below). However, I do not go at peak social hour.
Now, my gripes are not with the gym itself. And I guess that they really have no control over your typical Miami folks that do not exhibit one shred of common courtesy.
As I mentioned above, I have not technically waited for a weight machine. I mean, I have not waited for anyone to finish their reps or anything. Oh, no. I have waited for someone to get up after just sitting there for upwards of 15 minutes while chit chatting on their phone. Ironically, my other gripe involves phones as well. I am usually blessed with someone yakking loudly on their phone while next to me on a cardio machine. Seriously. Some even keep their phone on speaker and I get to hear both sides of the conversation while they yell at the phone. I can hear them with my ear buds on. So imagine. People grunting really does not annoy me as much as these folks. Planet Fitness should sound an alarm for these rude people.
Since not many patrons wipe down equipment after use, I always wipe it down before AND after. They’re open 24 hours on weekdays. So if I ever get a crazy urge to workout at 3AM, I can.
All in all, so far so good.

I recently signed up for this gym for the sole reason of price. It’s only $ 10/​month, with a $ 20 sign up free and $ 29 annual fee. I looked at all the gyms around me (Porky’s, LA Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness) and they weren’t even close to the price of PF.
They’ve got A LOT of cardio machines. A LOT. So if that’s what you are looking for, then they’ve got you covered. They have a great free weight area and a decent number of weight machines. My only gripe would be the number of weight machines — I’ve gone at low populated times so I’ve never had to wait for anything I wanted to use but I would expect people waiting at peak times like 5 – 8 PM.
This is probably the cleanest gym I’ve ever seen and I regularly see employees cleaning machines which is great. It’s nice to know that they care about the cleanliness of the gym. With regards to the clientele, I see a good amount of people wiping machines down after use but there could be more. And the last fact isn’t a testimony to the gym, rather people in general.
The staff is extremely nice and courteous and are always more than willing to help you out. If you’re trying to get healthy and fit but have a budget then I would definitely recommend Planet Fitness. It’s also open ²⁴⁄₅ Mon — Fri which works out for anyone wanting to get a work out in at 2AM lol.

So I called a couple days ago asking for the managers full name and they said, «sorry, ma’am, we don’t give out that kind of information.»
Ummmmm shady– I think so. I’m sure the majority of the staff are active social media users who publicize their private information for the world to see. Why can’t I just address a letter to you? Should I befriend you on Instagram to get this information? Please let me know.

Planet Fitness is a bare bones type of gym.
There are so super heavy weights available, no classes, no child care, and no pool.
What they do have is a ton of cardio machines, weights for people not trying to break any sort of world record and/​or tear muscles, massage beds and chairs, and a really helpful staff.
This location is open continuously from Monday morning until Friday night. That’s right, ²⁴⁄₅. On Saturdays and Sundays they are open 8am-​8pm. Not that I’m ever going to need a workout at 3am on a Tuesday, but it’s nice to know the option is available.
For $ 10 a month and $ 1 start-​up fee, you can work out at this one location.
For $ 19.99 a month and $ 1 start-​up fee, you can work out at all Planet Fitness locations, have unlimited use of their massage beds (and I think tanning beds too, but please don’t negate your healthy workout with an increased risk of skin cancer), and you can bring a guest with you every time you visit the gym.
Parking is always available in the huge shopping center parking lot, and is very well lit at night.
