Planet Fitness – Bronx – Southern Blvd.

Despite a few nasty customers who don’t clean up after themselves, this gym is pretty well kept. The front staff is always friendly and the place doesn’t smell like a butt.
However, I have never been here when it wasn’t jam packed.
Morning, noon or night, always packed.
Probably because it’s literally the only gym in the area, but still, it’s crazy.
You’ll be able to get a cardio machine, but if you’re planning on lifting weights, forget it. Good luck.
Each machine has a group of guys patting each other on the back and bro fisting, that hog the machines for at least an hour at a time, easily.
I walked in at 7AM, the bench press Smith machine was being used and I called next, by 7:45, the guy was still using it, came back at 8, still, so I had to leave without completing my workout. I guess he was training for the Olympics.
The other 2 machines like this were occupied by groups.
There should be some type of queue or appointment system for using the weight machines, particularly the bench press/​Smith machine, that way everyone can get a fair chance to work out.
Otherwise, the place is great, there’s at least 2 of every type of machine for you to use, when you’re lucky enough to be able to anyway.

Compared to the planet fitness on castle hill I prefer this one. It’s bigger, clean, staff is friendly. It’s not hot and stinky. Lord knows I hate working out, but the environment is comfortable and keeps me coming back. It also convenient, I stop by on my way home from work when I get off of the train.

I love this gym. Great place to workout. And 24hr. It’s always very clean. Never really crowded. Awesome staff, so nice people. No body bothers you and it’s just a great place to workout and get fit!!! :)

Good for a quick workout if your local. Otherwise find a real gym. The people are slobs. They act like they are at the beach. Meanwhile ridiculous rules like no Jump roping are in place. Silly for a place where people supposedly come for fitness.

This location is a bit small but I like going at night because its not crowded at all and it’s pretty quiet. It’s close to 2 train stations (Simpson 2&5 train or Hunts Point 6 train). The staff is really friendly. The locker rooms at this location do not have the long slim ones so don’t bring too much stuff with you.
