It appears that I have been lied by the staff when I signed up. I specifically asked person who was handling my membership to make sure that it is only 12 month long and does not roll over indefinitely. He assured me multiple times that I have absolutely nothing to worry about, and that there will not be anything of that nature unlike other gyms. He added that if I wanted to cancel it even sooner, I could bring cash and close my membership anytime.
I ended up moving to a different location far away from gym and remembered what guy at front desk promised. It is now 3 years later, and I discovered that despite me moving to a different addresses, Changing credit card and being out of original 12 month contract I was still charged for last 2 years.

This is a basic gym that meets most needs. The black card lounge is pretty decent but I wish they had a sauna. The equipment is maintained and when broken repaired in a timely manner. The bathroom and locker room facilities are well kept and readily available. Overall for $20 a month I think it's well worth it.

Lots of equipment (minus squat racks and benches), but still very affordable

Clean gym with great equipment! Staff is friendly and helpful, and massage chairs, tanning, and total body enhancement machines are awesome.

Last night, I decided to join my bud for a run after splitting a pizza and sitting around like a potato the day before. It almost creeps me out that the whole place is covered in purple & yellow-- but it can be easily ignored since all the machines are clean and in working order. My OCD friends would get a kick outta this place.
They sell locks, soap, bottled water and other little things like headphones and timers at the front desk. I figured with that huge membership fee, that new members should get one of each for free. They do offer a pizza day & bagel day once a month though. Weird... equipment isn't free but carbs are?
I also didn't like the company's trust: They advertise $10 or $20/month, but that doesn't include the $120 membership fee & the fact you have to submit your checking account number as collateral. No one can really "cancel anytime". I guess they lost too many members from cancelling credit cards they couldn't charge.
The staff is awesome though-- I'm glad PF doesn't hire buff douchebags you see at the bar. But I can't afford to give out my checking account if it suddenly zeros out.

Love the convenience, great machines and extras (tanning beds, massage beds and chairs), but when I had questions, the staff at the location I went to acted like they had better things to do and shouldn't be bothered.

Great gym , the staff for the majority are nice and helpful. The staff should be paid more. It would help keep good staff. I would pay a dollar or two more per month if it would go directly to staff wages.

I've been to a vast number of gyms in my time, but I can safely say that Planet Fitness exceeds the expectations I've grown accustomed to. The staff is friendly and engaging, and incredibly professional. As a Black Card member of this gym, you can expect unlimited uses of all amenities. Whether getting a tan is your bag, or a massage is your crutch, or sweating to increase health, you're always the top priority. The no nonsense, no bully, judgement free outlook that they imprint into their slogan is in full effect. No one looks your way, unless you need help, and almost all members have a sixth sense when it comes to your needs.
All in all, this is a fantastic place to spend time.

If I could give this place negative stars I would just for being planet fitness !!!! I called to ask a question a simple question and the ass hat behind the counter wants to argue.

Overall very clean. I normally go late at night and it seems like there is always cleaning going on which is good. I would like to recommend they install new and additional hooks in the men's showers. The "hooks" and I use that term loosely are mostly coming out of the wall or don't hold anything. I have to take my own suction cup hooks with me to hang my towel and bag on when I'm using the shower.

Well...I signed up for the black card on 7/13/17 and decided to make this location my home gym since its closest to my partment. Today is 7/15/17 and I maybe already cancelling my membership due to RUDE staff. First of all, my family and I moved to Knoxville late last year so we are still fairly new to the area and don't know very many people. I signed up online on the 13th and picked up my welcome info and card on the 14th. My husband is a very popular and upcoming barber in the area and works 60-70+ hours on his feet every week and was excited to hear that Planet Fitness has massage chairs because he is in pain a lot. So after I got my information and came home, my husband wanted to go check out the gym and sit in the massage chairs. This is where it went from a positive experience to a VERY NEGATIVE experience fast. When we came back to planet fitness last night, my daughter (she's 3) and I sat in the car while my husband went inside. He returned within minutes. He said he walked in, scanned the card, and went straight to the massage chairs. He didn't want to workout, he just wanted to sit and get some relaxation. First, the employee (it was a guy) came up to him and called him BIG DOG instead of SIR. I thought there was no gym intimidation at Planet Fitness? Second, he said "you are using your GIRLS card" Ummm...I am his WIFE and he actually pays for the black card membership for me (I am a stay at home mom) when you can have UNLIMITED GUEST and technically I was there, I was just in sitting in the parking lot with our child since we have NO BABYSITTER. Third...he showed him that there are CAMERAS EVERYWHERE. So are you insisting my husband is a thief or a criminal? So my husband tells me this and I'm so infuriated. So I'm not sure why your employee had to be so nasty and rude to my husband and try to embarrass him in front of others. Planet fitness stands by making people feel comfortable and no gym intimidation, but yet it was the worst experience and I literally just signed up 2 days ago. I'm not sure if I'll be keeping my membership. I'm writing this review because I want my husband and I voice to be heard that it was one of the most disrespectful experiences we've had here in Knoxville.

Love the theme of this workout place and their equipment. Especially the hydro massage beds. Great price also at $20 per month.

Very clean gym. The equipment is excellently maintained. The staff is professional and helpful. It seems that everyone that goes to the gym had the general consensus to be respectful of others. It really feels like a judgement free zone as their ads say.
