    I have been coming to this location since it first opened after being in Gretna for a few years. It has gone so downhill. I don’t even know where to begin. Signs posted everywhere to not personal train, but it happens every day. Groups of people will corral around equipment blocking others from using the equipment around them. Several of the same people will place times on multiple pieces of equipment to do a circuit and nobody else can utilize those pieces for a significant amount of time. Signs for no filming, yet people are always filming themselves training other members, and today, we even started filming ourselves posing for a bikini competition. There are consistently MANY machines falling apart and/or broken. The place is never clean anymore. The staff never comes from behind the desk to address anything because they are too busy on their phones or engaging in personal conversations. There’s no point in addressing it with management as they participate in those activities. It’s looking like I will be heading back to Gretna for plentiful equipment and no filming.

    Its an okay facility but they need more squat machines and/or a separate bench press area. They only have 2 and as a busy mom who is trying to get in and out the gym sometimes, it's discouraging when I can't get to the machine I need.

    I canceled my membership because I think it’s the worst gym of planet fitness in the world, 1: few machines compared to the other planet fitness clubs they have up to 5 to 6 machines each, 2: it’s not 24 hours, 3 there are no new or exclusive machines, 5 small gym for many peoples, etc 👎

    I come to visit my family 2-3 times a year. I decided to start using this location since my fam lives closer than the WB Expway location. I get dressed and show up today to get a guest pass to get a workout. The young lady was pleasant and told me that the systems were down. Honestly, thats not my problem. I want to get a workout so figure it out but I didnt press her. She told me to go find another gym and made no effort to help me get my workout in. I have avoided this location for a long time and now I know I wasn't wrong. Its sad that these encounters reaffirm my decision to move away from home. Maybe she isnt empowered to assist patrons when Planet Fitness has an outage... If so, shame on Planet Fitness but I saw that members were checking in so something was working. Extremely disappointed

    HARRASSED BY STAFF!!!! This is the worst gym I’ve ever been to! Was threatened to be kicked out over my damn purse. I was yelled at and laughed at by the girl who was on shift at 6:45pm, 07/27/2025. No resources were made available to me to give a proper complaint. See their Yelp for more details of the absolute nightmare of a woman I had to endure. The story was too long for me to post on here. Had to go to a different location to get my complaint properly across, and will be in touch with corporate tomorrow morning. Clearly no care for their guests or the money that they spend!! No care for the guests’ personal belongings!!! So disappointed. DO NOT COME HERE!!!
