Incompetent and unproffesional! I won a 1 year Planet Fitness in Chapel Hill membership last year at the UNC day competition. When i went in to activate it, they said they need my banking details for records purposes but promised that no funds will go through because i won the free membership. Well, for 3 months they deducted $25 per month from my account without my permission. I came in to rectify it, but was told "the manager is not in" I left my nr but nobody called me back. After another payment when through i changed my banking details to stop the payments from going through. For the past 6 months Planet Fitness Debt Collector has been harassing me, everyday to make my payments. Sometimes they call me 3 times a day for money! They actually gave me over to their debt collectors!! My credit profile has been affected by this nonsence! The daily calls have been driving me nuts. Today was the 4th time i went into the branch, proof of free membership awarded to me in hand, and was told, as usual, "the manager is not in" What was however different today, the arogant person at the desk told me NOT to leave my nr. Because she can assure me that they will not call me back. Told me to come back another day. AGAIN! I regret ever winning the so called free 1 year memberdhip. This place is a joke and I WANT THEIR DEBT COLLECTORS TO STOP HARASSING ME!!!!!! I have the email proof but they are just ghosting me! Need a laywer to assist me in getting them to take me off ther debt collection list because all my attemts to talk to their manager face to face and sort it out, has been futile.

I am a new member here. I am attempting to update my billing information over the phone but the young boy has made it insanely difficult. I was put on hold three times for whatever reason. I also repeated the reason for my call three times. I repeated my name and slowly spelled it out twice and he still can’t manage to get it right. I will have to handle the issue in person so I can see what and why a simple task has been so difficult to handle.

Daily regular user for the past 6 months. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Place is usually relatively clean and atmosphere is always positive, although it can get busy at times. Only gripe is that the machines are older and some require regular maintenance.i.e. stairmaster. Many of the cycling trainers definitely need some repairs as the cranks make clicking sounds or rotate misaligned. Wish they the fancy peloton ones as the Durham location.
