Planet Fitness – Nanuet

Yes parking is not great but I had a fine experience here. Many machines though not as many as I’m used to in my nyc home location. There were many people here when i came. I guess starting their new year’s resolutions…

PF sucks! Parking is awful as Rockland bakery customers take up the parking spots. Too many «out of order» machines.
I know many people who who left PF for the same reason and went to gym’s that cost more, it’s true– you get what you pay for.

PF is cheap, clean, convenient, always open and there’s always plenty of free machines. Courteous staff. Yes, the decent sized parking lot can fill up on, say, Monday mornings, but I always park at the far end anyway. I’m here to work out so what’s wrong with walking a block to get to the door? And the fabulous Rockland Bakery is just across the road! Carb heaven!

It’s a cheap gym. If you want to join a gym, but never want to go, I highly recommend this place. Choose a busy time, and all machines will be taken. Don’t even think about using the shower here, too, unless fungi and grime are your aphrodisiacs. The parking is a nightmare; you do have the Rockland Bakery aroma to keep you company as you frantically try to remember that you had to park in a different zip code. Also, a lock may not be enough to keep your belongings from disappearing here.
On the bright side, the equipment is very diverse for such an inexpensive proposition. The workout area is clean. At $ 10 a month, you have more equipment that the likes of Equinox, and probably rivaling NYSC or Gold’s. That’s saying a lot. So, if you work out when others work, or if you want a gym membership just to put a sticker on your car — this is your place.

I’m not quite sure what the problem is with this place and the bad reviews. I’ve been here a couple of times and will be going back again. The place is clean, I saw two people cleaning while I was there one day. The locker rooms were being cleaned and mopped along with the equipment on the floor being cleaned. Now is this a fluke or something they do regularly? Well on my next visit I saw the same stuff, so this leads me to believe they actually do keep it clean… we’ll see though. I do have one problem and that seems to be wherever I go… gym equipment is NOT meant for you to relax on and have a social conversation! Go sit somewhere else and do it!

I don’t use the locker room or the bathrooms anymore after the aforesaid incident… wouldn’t want to run into any dirty sanitary napkins stuck to the door. They got new elliptical machines and they all work with the TVs. Yay. Other than that, it’s still the same. That is all.

The price is right: $ 10/​month. But you get what you pay for. This gym is FILTHY. I have never seen ANY staff clean a machine EVER. People sweat on these machines and it just builds up and honestly makes me want to hurl sometimes. Also the TV/​radio controls on nearly ALL the machines have fallen off their holders so you have to fight with where to put it and your other stuff and, as is the theme here, they’re filthy. I would gladly pay double for some cleaning people to wipe down machines. I’ve paid far more for gyms in the city and the machines look brand new all the time because they are cleaned. If filthy doesn’t bother you, you’ll be fine here. I’ve never seen any of the staff do anything here but socialize at the front desk, wonder what they’re paid to do.

this place pretty much sucks in the world of gyms, but whatevs. it has equipment. and lots and lots of standard brown paper to wipe down equipment and dry your hands. do what you will with that. on an up note, the treadmills have audio equipment that syncs with the overhead T.V.s. yayyyy.

I just ended my three year membership here. At first, it was a great no-​frills gym. The price and hours were perfect for me. For months before ending my membership, the gym seemed to go downhill very fast. The staff didn’t seem concerned with people hanging out on the equipment rather than working out on them. Some of the clientele didn’t seem to mind sweating buckets over the treadmill then leaving the machine a mess. Gross! The gym had an obnoxiously bad odor. Planet Fitness was a great gym. For the sake of the business, I hope management pays attention to reviews here and elsewhere.

This place is very unsafe — they let anyone in whether they have club ID or not. There is no «swipe card» system. You can just wave at a person at the front desk and you are in. Also — if you still want to go there, you and ten friends could go in on one membership and just memorize the five digit number to be allowed access into the building.
The reason I know this is my brother and SEVEN other people had their lockers broken into, car keys stolen and cars ransacked all while they were at the gym. They said this happens often. If something keeps happening and your customers are getting upset, wouldn’t you try to change your security measures at the front desk?
Just saying…

This is my gym. I’m not thrilled about this, but it does what I need. The price is hard to beat and constantly wins out over any downfalls.
Downfalls:
*Parking is ridiculous. It’s a free-​for-​all of assholes wedging their Escalades into zones that clearly shouldn’t be parked in — and that often impede safe navigation of the parking lot. A friend of mine got in an accident in this parking lot (I, personally, see number of these a year) and when she called her insurance company they were like «Oh…the Planet Fitness parking lot… yeah, we know it.» My recommendation is always park in the Laz-​E-​Boy parking lot on the other side of the building.
*The Women’s locker room always smells faintly of sewage. It is clean, and they take care of it, but the smell just never leaves. The showers, on the upside, are nice.
*A lot of people come here to socialize. Often, they use the machines as places to stand or sit while having a conversation. Feel free to ask them to move. They’re jerks.
As Geoff G. said, there are, like, 300 cardio machines here. Many are obviously second-​hand from another Gym. Some are new. I do miss having newer Precor Machines. There aren’t any at this place. No classes. The weight lifting guys keep to themselves and are respectful — just like every gym I’ve ever been to. There is ample cleaning fluid and paper towels available. TVs are available, but not per-​station — they’re hanging from the ceiling. An awful lot of them are turned to Fox News for some reason. There is only one water fountain, despite the large population that comes here.
Pizza Days and Bagel Mornings are a nice plus. Other plusses include tanning booths and massage chairs, although I never see anyone using them — and I’ve been going here at least 3x week for three years.
If you really want a good place to fuel up before or after, hit the Rockland Bakery Deli for an Egg White on a roll. Delicious!

I went to Planet Fitness the other day as part of my mission to find a local (to Nyack) gym. The guide instructed me that Planet Fitness is not intended for folks that are serious about lifting weights and is for beginners and those that are OK lifting light-​weights and doing cardio.
What that means:
*Dumbbells don’t go above 60lbs
*There are no free weight barbells (bench, squat, etc)
*There are about 300 cardio machines (no lie)
*Grunting or any guttural noise made from exertion is forbidden!!!
The gym is clean, well manicured, and easily fit about 150 people when I was in there. The parking lot was packed although there was still plenty of space available. $ 10 – 19 a month fees are hard to beat.

As Kelly M just posted… This gym is very inexpensive. There are other better gyms in the area but they are quite $$$$ This gym has pretty much everything you need to get in shape. I do not recommend it for those looking to join a body building completion. But for the regular guy like myself… It is great!!! I pay 1 Dollar a month because my fiancé has the main membership and she is paying 19 dollars a month so if we average it out. It is 10 Bux each… Not bad !!! So for the price you pay the value is tremendous.

Planet Fitness is located off of Route 304 in Nanuet across from The Rockland Bakery. Very inexpensive and clean. This gym is fully equipt with a wide array of Eliptical machines, stair climbers, treadmills, bikes, and weight machines etc. They have personal and group training. There are 4 tanning beds and a large locker room. I would suggest this gym to any highschool & college students, or anyone on a budget. There are TV’s hanging across the gym so if you are on any cardio machine you can plug in your headphones and watch your favorite shows– trust me this makes your work-​out go a lot faster! I wouldn’t want to go to another gym, it’s the best in Rockland County. Very close to NJ, where I used to live, and also close to westchester. If you are a black card member and live in westchester county you have the luxury of going to Nanuet Planet Fitness and White Plains Planet fitness. The plus about Nanuet is that is open for 24 hours. I would reccomend this gym to anyone! Only bad thing is when you are done with a great work-​out, and you are walking to your car, you smell the delicous bread being baked accross the street… a total tease!
