Planet Fitness – Universal City

Always friendly and never crowded, the bathroom and showers need a little more attention. Wish the lockers came with locks.

I’ve been going here for a few months now and come out to the facility to do a cardio workout about 2−3x a week. The facility is modern, spacious, and well-​maintained. There are plenty of cardio machines: elliptical, treadmills, bikes, etc. They also have various stations for stretching, weight lifting; and designated places for timed ab and upper body workouts.
My only criticisms of the place have to do with the staff and the hours. Some of them are friendly and greet you when you enter and leave the facility, while others seem to be indifferent. It would be nice if the facility was open a little later on the weekends. At the present time, they close at 9 p.m. on Fridays and 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Overall, it’s a positive environment for fitness and they offer a few options for memberships. One package is as low as $ 9.95 a month, much cheaper than their competitor Gold’s Gym down the road. I recommend this place for people of all fitness levels who are seeking a place that offers an economical membership.

Just received a membership to a Planet Fitness and will use this location. Went on early morning and found the place clean abs not crowded at all. Machines worked perfectly (although no automatic cool down on treadmill). My only issue was that the water tastes funny. So not sure if it was my water bottle or the water fountain. Very basic gym and satisfies what I need it for

Very nice Planet Fitness compared to the one I usually go to. It’s almost double the size, but it isn’t open 24 hours on the weekend and doesn’t look like they have all the amenities other planet fitness have. It is clean in comparisons to others in this area.

No one expects you to actually work out in this gym. Is kind of a joke. It’s for people who really don’t plan to make changes in their lives generally.

What can I say? It’s a gym. Lots of equipment, clean, always a machine available. I was attending the PF on O’Connor but switched to this one because it’s closer to the house. I’ve always been greeted at the door and have always received a new key fob when I lose one with no issues (which, shamefully, is often. I hate stuff hanging off my keys). I’ve been able to get my workouts finished and get home without any fuss. The guys at the counter do need more to do than just stand around and socialize. But I’m a workaholic, so I could just be projecting a bit much. Nice guys, except the older guy that’s there sometimes (he used to run the smoothie shop a few doors down). He’s not very social. He should really work on that.

Folks,
If you’re wanting to join this Planet Fitness because it’s cheap… have at it. If you’re looking for the advertised environment, no rude, loud muscle-​heads trying to intimidate others, no catty, barely dressed chicks vying for attention, etc… I don’t recommend this location.
