    I want to give a huge thank you to Tiffany, the manager at Planet Fitness in Harbor Point, Stamford, Connecticut. I absolutely love the renovation, and I’m especially grateful for the new hip thruster! Thank you, Tiffany, and thank you Planet Fitness Harbor Point for always improving our gym and making it better for all of us. 💜💪

    “I shouldn’t have to write this, but today there was not a single working sink in the women’s restroom. It’s frustrating, unhygienic, and completely unacceptable for a gym. Fix this now.”

    Decent PF location. They recently renovated and added an extra free weight section and two platformed squat rack sections. Added the assault bike which is a nice addition. Not sure where we are supposed to stretch out now though? I did not see any areas to stretch like there used to be. Stretching is an essential part of many people’s exercise and right now I’ve had to stretch on random parts of the floor with no mat. Can this be addressed?

    I've been going to this gym for a few years, as a guest with my dad's membership, then with my own more recently. This is a transparent review with some details especially for the women looking at this location: Pros: -The staff is always welcoming and attentive when addressed for help or questions in general at this location. -There is an abundance of cardio machines. -There were recent renovations so the bathrooms were re-done (clean showers finally), some new equipment was purchased, and the layout was more organized. -They recently added free barbell racks (2), not just smith machines (4). Only one of the free weight racks has a mirror. -There are some dumbbells & the hyper extension machine towards the back of the gym, with benches & mirrors, BEHIND the cardio equipment. Now you can do things like RDLs and Bulgarian split squats without feeling like you're bending over in front of everyone on the cardio machines (the three rows of abundance) and giving them a view of an uncomfortable angle. -I have only ever had positive verbal encounters with all members who have ever spoken to me or vise versa. -Black spa area has a door now so it's quieter and more relaxing. (They have two hydro massage chairs, two regular massage chairs, and three tanning beds I think. I don't tan with the beds so I'm not positive on that number) Cons: -After re-organization, the "stretching" area does not exist anymore except for a couple (1-2) awkward spots where it's tight and you feel like you're blocking walkways/pathways. This was minus a star for me, because stretching is the most important part of my workout and now it's slightly stressful. -All of the smith machines were rotated, so the bar is on the mirror side. Now if you want to do squats, you can't look at your form in the mirror, and you're bending over in front of the mirror- anyone with a view of the mirror now has an uncomfortable angle of you for that common exercise. -Similarly, now when engaging in hip thrusts, you have to face everyone (i.e., your back is to the mirror and you're feet are facing the cable machines and cardio equipment, aka. the busiest part of the gym) which can be extremely uncomfortable at times especially if you work out in shorts. At least before [the smith machines were turned], the mirror was not too low, so it didn't even reflect this uncomfortable angle and your back had been facing the cardio equipment and everyone on it. This was minus the second star for me because at the gym, the only thing I want to be worried about is my form and making sure I hit my rep/weight goals, not having to catch the occasional person staring between my legs or at my rear. -No hip thrust machine. -People aren't great in general about wiping equipment down at this location and the staff is not proactive on making sure everything is clean in this specific aspect, so I would wipe down everything before and after use, and even bring a small towel to sit on if it makes you more comfortable. I've been to many gyms as a constantly traveling college student while I have this freedom. Some easy suggestions I think gym users would appreciate at this location: -Flip two smith machines back, two mirror facing, and two cardio machine facing. This way people who want the support of the smith machine to really isolate the muscles they're trying to work don't have to worry about any members with wandering eyes viewing uncomfortable angles (not common at this location, but it does occasionally happen nonetheless), and we can see our form in the mirror for the exercises we need that help for. -I know renovations aren't fully complete and this location just opened back up, but we NEED a stretching area. I don't want to stretch in the locker room and make people who are changing uncomfortable, and I don't want to feel like I'm in the way and uncomfortable while stretching out on the floor. It's a solid gym where I'll be continuing my membership, so I recommend it; the quality is good for the price. I will update this review and the rating if any changes are made!

    Waited until the Oct 13th for grand reopening, then got it delayed to the 31st, delayed again to Nov 4th and today was told to go away because they’re STILL haven’t opened yet. I’m very upset with the consistent delayed openings and fake promises. Management, please clarify this. Thank you.
