I’m a Soldier PCS’ing (relocating from Fort Hood to Fort Lewis) and stopped in Albuquerque for the night. I really want to workout the next morning and went to check out Planet Fitness. The daily pass was $20 but the staff was wonderful and signed me in as a guest when they found out I was a Soldier passing by. Thank you for taking care of us Soldiers. The facility was clean and the equipment was awesome.
The place is typically pretty dirty. You can go in and see the same foot print or piece of trash laying on the floor in the same location for a few days. The longest I have seen was eight days.
I have bumped up my review to three stars. I don't know if this location has undergone a change in management, but there are people actually cleaning the gym and it shows. Keep up the good work!
The paper roll dispensers aren't filled often enough. They expect that you'll wipe down the equipment after use, but it's hit and miss if there's any paper or cleaning solution to do that. Some employees must not want to load the paper towels into the towel dispensers because often times the whole rolls are left on top of the trash cans while the dispenser remains empty.
When will you fix the urinal in the men's restroom? It has been broken for weeks now, along with one of the sinks. Also, why are there still nine or 10 broken treadmills weeks later?
What do you expect for $20 a month? If I held them to the franchise's standards I would expect a whole hell of a lot more. Since I don't, I just go with it.
This location advertises on its window "24/5" meaning, 24 hours a day, five days a week. It is a blatant lie. On Friday evening they close early, which should account for one of those days, considering Monday-Thursday they are open 24 hours and Saturday and Sunday they close at 7 PM. They need to quit falsely advertising they're open 24 hours a day five days a week and change it to four days a week.
This place is for people to start off I guess. But even then, they have Tootsie rolls and pizza/bagel days? Not ideal for people wanting to change.
No barbells. No free weights. Was using 15 lb dumbbells and got told not to drop them to the floor. 15 lbs!!!
I know from experience that it's hard to always keep a high-volume gym clean, so maybe you should hire more people to do the work and not dump everything on the counter staff. I have never had any issues with staff except for the really skinny blonde gal who doesn't seem motivated to do much.
I love that there is never any waiting to get on machines. Nice staff members and no one bothering you as you work out. There are people of different sizes and abilities working out here with no one judging you. That makes me feel more comfortable during my workout. Really good location!
The shower curtains are torn and the restrooms are usually dirty. I avoid the locker room now as much as possible because it smells like old cheese. Yesterday, I saw a man using the hand dryer to dry off his genitals; which I know is something the company can't control, but all the more reason to avoid the devolving locker room.
It's a bit smaller than the ones I use to go to but, it's still good. It has 2 massage chairs and 2 hydro beds, 1 tanning booth, 1 beauty angle booth, and free hair cuts, all for black card members. I go in random times a day and it's not ever crowded, which is a mega plus! The employees are Pleasant, upbeat, and very helpful.
Update April 2017:
The atmosphere is too goody good. The gym bombards you with "no criticism" but has staff and a freaking alarm ready to judge you if you try to train.
