A nice gym, Planet Fitness has lots of equipment to fulfill your exercise and to keep you fit. They have trainers to keep you on point. Parking is convenient a relaxed atmosphere.

Love this location. The staff is great and the place is clean and well kept. It's a new location so the machines are new and up to date

Gym is great has everything I could need, crowd is not too bad when I go, parking extra easy, staff are nice, love the updates of the gym, very clean. Only wish they had a sauna in the locker room, if so I would definitely upgrade to a black card membership. Will get five stars if they get a sauna!

I signed up for $3.62.. then was charged another $22.06 in 6days... The tanning beds are closed for construction, which I don't understand why the construction is not over night not during the day... People have asthma and other medical conditions and allergies for all that dust to be in the air during the day!!! I just paid $25 dollars and all I can do is workout... The men's bathroom was off limit or locker room. I'm very disappointed right now... I tried calling and the call won't go through just hangs up Everytime and I tried from two different phones.. My $400 watch was stolen from this place about a year ago by a worker so watch your belongings people.. I filed a police report but they can't do anything about it.. so corporate gave me 6 months free that's $120 not $400... The tanning rooms are a disgrace.. there's a couple good workers in there like the girl who signed me up other then that.. I would not recommend this place!!!!

Nobody at front desk when coming in. Then he sat on phone when leaving. Showers are scummy, slimy and dirty. Husband's shower had a bug in it. No hot water in men's shower. Water pressure was real low. Women's shower temp went up and down. No chairs in dressing rooms to sit and get dressed. Wont be coming back to this one.

Overall a good facility to come in to get your sweat on.
The place is in a shopping plaza - so plenty of surface lot parking available. Also there is bike racks before the main entrance to chain you wheels in case you work out before your work out.
Inside it's roomy with plenty of cardio machines (treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, etc.), along with stair climbers, weight machines, free weights, and floor room.
My last visit was during night time (around 8pm) and it was not too crowded. I was able to get my cardio fix in on the elliptical before heading towards the weight machines. I liked that there was plenty of options and lots of room so you're not limited on space or comfort. I noticed all the ellipticals have charging capabilities but only if you have an iPhone 4 or previous - which aren't as prevalent any more! I wish this can be updated to allow for me to use this option while on the machine.
Overall I think for what you pay at a monthly rate, you get a lot out of it. There are also options to enroll in physical education, and semi guided work outs for abs and full body (30 minute) work outs.
I will be coming in regularly given the ease of getting here and the options available.

I'll preface my review with that I frequent both Fox Street and South Philly PF locations. I have a few major gripes with this location:
1. The equipment needs to be maintained better. The one assisted/dip pull-up machine on the right feels way off, and has been like that for a few months. It likely needs a full tear-down and re-greasing. One each of both the leg extension machines and the hip abductor machines are also pretty bad.
2. The plated weights are disintegrating. The rubber is well beyond its useful lifespan. Some of the plates even have the metal underneath exposed. The rubber leaves your hands completely black when you handle them.
3. The dumbbell weight rack is always out of sorts. The staff is super aggressive about telling you to put the weights back where they belong, but none of the weights are ever in their proper place. I even had an incident with an "off-duty" employee harassing me and my friend for not putting the "weights back where they belong". I'm not an employee of Planet Fitness so I'm not going to spend 10 minutes re-racking dumbbells in their proper places just so I can put a set of weights "back where they belong". I'll put them back provided there's a proper place to put them back in.
4. The cleanliness is something to be desired. There are always empty drink containers scattered throughout the gym. The Purell dispensers have caked on dirt, and the urinals in the Men's bathroom look like they haven't been properly cleaned in at least a few days.
5. Signage is falling down, and the floors look like they're getting ready to come up in places. The front lighted sign nearest the desk looks like a high school student's project in wood shop. Other signs have been missing pieces or just hung poorly.
Really what it boils down to is resources and maintenance. I see at least two to three people behind the counter when I walk in. I think the employees should have a constant rotation every hour or so, going around the gym. Dispose of the empty abandoned drink containers, wipe down some of the most glaring spots, clean the bathrooms, and keep the dumbbell weight rack in order.
The gym needs some major maintenance. The signage needs to be fixed, the floors need to be addressed (nearest the cable machines), and the plates needs to be replaced.
The gym is probably one of the busiest PFs in the Philadelphia area, and it needs way more attention than it's getting.

There is a treadmill that's really unstable, the whole thing shifts if you step on it. I've reported it multiple times over the last few weeks and it's still not fixed, and there is no sign on it to warn people. The treadmill cups are constantly filled with old paper towels or mushed up tootsie rolls. It's pretty gross. I sent an email online to let the club know, and they responded with a generic, cookie-cutter response that didn't actually address anythings. So here's my review:
The gym is simple enough, has the equipment you would expect. That said, if you are going to use anything, sanitize it before you touch it. If you're going for a run on the treadmills or use the other cardio machines, be prepared to go on a few of them to find a clean one. I understand that you get what you pay for, and PF is dirt cheap, but if they're going to spend money on staff to take care of this stuff, then maybe that staff should pay more attention. Most of the time now they just are hanging out behind the counter.

Ive been to numerous PF and all are spectacular. Never let down, this one however does not offer hrydro massage beds but they do offer massage chair like at the mall and full body enhancer as well as tanning beds. Spacious even at the busiest hours.

Great place to work out. Bathroom ventilation is insufficient, and this problem does at times affect areas outside the locker rooms. I hope they fix it.

Very disappointed in this location, I've been going here for over 7+ years and the never had problems with staff until now, i came in and paid my monthly $20 black membership to a new younger staff, generally I would've ask for a receipt but I figured since the younger staff said i was taking care of I just left and thought, it wouldn't be a problem until now, the next day I went back in and the manager Brian said I owed for last month but one of his staff said don't worry about the receipt and I was taking care of. Bad judgement on my end and horrible service by this location. I went to la fitness and I'm happy that they are much more professional.
