Planet Fitness

Parking easy and signs tells you to mention this to the business inside the building. Easy and simple. Friendly staff and clean facility. The shower also was amazing as the pressure was decent and hot water on point.

Very poor management, dishonest, unprofessional and unethical, rude and crooked people. They do false advertising and then charge your credit card for no reasons and with no permission. I won't recommend them to others based on very bad experiences!

Not very busy on a Saturday morning, I was able to find parking easily and added my license plate to their security system so that I would not be towed. Inside, plenty of open machines though there was no one in the "30 minute workout area. "

After that, a good shower. That was pleasant and I feel much better.

And if you're wondering, my home club is in North Carolina and I have a Black Card. It worked just fine here with no issue.

Reasonable price for what you get. Pretty clean. Not the best when it comes to equipment, machines, weights and all but if you are into cardio, there is def enough treadmills, bikes and step masters. I only choose to go to PF as they are open 24/7

Decent staff just a lot of cardio machines vs ab area. There's no where to do stretches or sit ups. They should shift that equipment around and put up more mirrors. There's only space for 2 people in the ab area or people are walking around you and basically stepping on ya. Crowd meter can predict 2 people doing sit ups.
Would recommend

Planet fitness in North Vancouver is very clean but the only thing is they have way too much cardio and they need more weights for building muscle

North Vancouver Planet Fitness is GREAT! Excellent staff, clean, lots of machines, and so many other great qualities. I wish it had a sauna though.

The staff at planet fitness are very nice and work hard to keep the equipment, showers and washrooms clean and sanitized. They are very helpful with any questions or concerns I may have, and the personal trainer is keen and encouraging. A bonus is the red light therapy machine, tanning beds and massage chairs. Nice treat after a hard workout.

Very good gym and has pretty much everything you need for a great workout. Its also very clean and staff is always friendly. Definitely get a membership here if you are looking for a 24 hour gym.

Very friendly and professional staff. They really care about the members. It’s a clean and perfect facility to use.
Highly recommended!

They don't have much floor space for sit-ups. The ab zone is awkward and small.it only fits 2 people infront of the mirror.they really need to move all the machines in the middle so everyone can set up mats around. It's uncomfortable how little space there is in that area.
Other than that, the staff seems really nice and there's a lot of cardio machines

Nice modern facilities. Water pressure (both shower and sink) were much lower than at other locations though.

Clean place and friendly staff, especially the brunette with the tattoos, he would be a great fit for the personal trainer. Hopefully you guys will be able to fill this position already.

I like this gym, went to Delbrook rec centre before and it was way too busy. It’s never super busy here where you can’t use any equipment.

Mostly machines over free weights but they all get the same job done. The machines are also made to give you pretty much perfect form as long as you set it up correctly.

Will be renewing my membership.

I really loved to come to this place until today’s experience made me feel very frustrated. I am quite new in Canada, and this gym (about last 3 months I used come on and off due to my pregnancy).

It’s my last month of pregnancy and as everybody knows women at this stage are more sensitive and emotional due to hormonal change! I took a pic of myself in the mirror with my belly (didn’t have any bad intentions, just wanted to have some memories from my workouts while being pregnant). Unfortunately I didn’t know that it against the policy and it’s forbidden to take photos (I wish I would figure this out by my own). I totally respect the policy of PF and if I would known that I wouldn’t take that photo. But it doesn’t give the right to the staff to be rude and absolutely Have zero emotional intelligence when speaking to customers especially pregnant ones! The lady came to me and told me in non-professional way that I CANT TAKE PHOTOS HERE ETC, AND DELETE IT NOW (without shame while I was going to my personal
Photos she would just stand beside me and stare and tell me what to do, I felt like a child who gets controlled by their mom!). This woman made me feel really bad not just in that moment, but I had to deal with some emotional damage for an hour after the incident! Would I feel this way when I would be in normal State? Probably no, but she should consider that she is talking to 9 month pregnant women. You could chose different ways of delivering the message and as a customer service I suppose you should be more considerate and make your customers feel welcomed and make them want to be loyal to you, and come back, not the opposite! I hope management will take some actions into training their staff on communication and EQ.

I've been to the gym couple times as a guest before. I really like the amount of cardio machines that they have.
Vlad helped me to sign in and they were really helpful and friendly.
The managers were around James and Samara and helped me to get a deal. (It was the last day of promotion or something.)
I've been going there couple times a week and never had to wait for any machine. Really happy

Open 24/7 and friendly staff

Edit: reduced to 3 stars, overheard one of the staff members how she hates people when she was off duty and was making fun of some people working out. Was shocked when I came in the next day and she was at the front desk.

DO NOT GO IN SUMMER! I used to love this gym, went 5-6 times a week for 8 months. Love the staff, but since high-schoolers have a free membership all summer, whatever time they want I can't do it anymore. It doesn't seem fair that people who pay $25 a month are having to fight with children at all points of the day to get equipment. What used to be a relaxing and calm place for me to get my workout in has become extremely overcrowded with kids.

Very disappointed, I’ve been going to this gym almost everyday for 5-6 months I’ve grown connections with the workers and everything just to get told 6 months later that I have to leave due to the fact that I’m under 19 working out without an adults signature, when I had to bring an adult to sign me up anyways so how does that make sense? Where did my moms signature go? I’ve had problems like this before with some of the staff but brush it off due to the nice people and workers I’ve encountered going to this gym but enough is enough guess it’s time to end my subscription, This gym needs more people like Alan love the guy.

Definitely the biggest lack of communication and professionalism i have ever encountered, i would suggest other gyms or even the Vancouver city gym that cost about the same thing. Just read the reviews and you'll see a common denominator for the last years.the lady manager comes up quite often. The owner is cool, he came forward and tried to help but the damage was already done by is manager (who's had nothing but bad reviews for a while)

1. The staff are AWESOME! Friendly, hardworking. 2. It always looks clean. 3. It isn't too crowded when i go. 4. It is a nice big, bright space. 5. There are lots of machines to choose from. 6. I don't have to schedule an appointment time to work out. I can go whenever i want. 7. It is in a convenient location.

I cancelled my membership In person and then next month they charged me again. They blamed the on me, got charged one more time since the second time that I cancelled was without a notice

My friends and I doing work out by self but they are notified us many times that you are coaching and you are group! Although we are just exercising and it was no coach with us. They judged us and cancel our membership without any logical response and don’t refund our money.

You guys call yourself a judgement free zone but you discriminate against people with a certain body type and technique by calling them "lunks". Dropping weights is actually recommended for some exercises such as dumbbell bench press if you are going to fail the rep so you it doesn't land on you and grunting sometimes can't be avoided if you are going to failure.

Not to mention having a literal air raid siren lunk alarm go off is infinitely more distracting than someone grunting because the entire gym will hear it whereas you can only discern weight drops or grunts if you are physically close to the person

First time ever, forgot my mask, I come here daily, asked for one, told me no they don't give them out anymore, go home and get one. Then I asked the manager if they can spare one, manager in a condescending tone said only this once, next time you'll be sent home. Then pulls out a huge box of masks and hands me one. Really doesn't make me feel very welcome. I really liked this gym until that interaction. Didn't know saving 15 cents on a mask is more important. Literally the only place I've been at that doesn't lend you a mask if you forget yours. Other than this I really love this gym but this stingey mask policy is really upsetting and I really hope it changes. If there ever comes a day where I genuinely forget my mask again and get turned around and not leant one, I will probably just cancel my membership then and there and go to my old gym

I haven't read the reviews, and I registered here and I figured out my comment is not the first comment about the gym crew, but keep in mind that the staff is so unprofessional and lacks management.
The manager (his name is James) has an attitude.
Never come back here.

Phenomenal fitness Heaven I've ever been. If you don't like typical fitness centre. I would love to bring you in here to sign up. This place has exclusive services. It is secret so you should try with day pass rather than reading reviews. I am pretty sure you will join this club right away.

Really friendly staff, super clean, and a good vibe in general. I've only just become a member but so far I'm loving it. Especially the fact that it's 24 hours! Recently switched from a nearby gym that wasn't taking COVID-19 seriously and I have no regrets. My only wish is that the free weight area was bigger.

Its a great gym, the staff doesnt really care about keeping the space clean, as the rules are that everyone clean after themselves and wear mask but not many people take this seriously anymore!

Actually not too bad. Mostly machines, and the dumbbells only go up to 60lbs, so it's fine for accessory work, but there's tons of space and cardio equipment if that's your jam

FRAUD WARNING
Was A member when covid started rang to cancel as HIGH RISK PLACE
was told it would be cancelled suddenly they charge me membership without permission and started taking monthly payments of 23bucks We are all struggling at the moment please dont steel off people BEWARE! I did speak to management she said I missed email they sent regarding cancelation so enrolled me and started charging each month without my knowledge will speak to better busines people if every junk email didn’t get response and they where allowed to enrol you SCAMMERS would have field day! ’nn

Bright, well equipped and large facility. Not a member, but I really enjoyed the tour thank you!

Best Planet Fitness I have visited. I travel all over the US, and hit a planet fitness at every location available, and since this is my first time in Canada, I had to try this one out. I was very impressed with the amount of equipment they had. They had lots of machines I have never seen at any other location. Definately recommend to anyone needing a membership.

New machines, but there is no mirror in the gym! Only at dumbels area, there are 3 mirrors. You need mirrors to see if you are doing it right.

For those that barely have time. This place is for you.

Serious folks may need to look else where.
I have always thought heavy pinging/dropping weights is bad form and annoy other members as well as a selfish move and gyms that dont reinforce this policy is badly managed, especially when the gym is on the the 2nd flr. Real strength is LIFT UP AND PUT DOWN. So when this gym stand by no dropping weights, i am a happy guy.

+ good ceiling height
+ air circulation
+ lots of cardio machines
+ massage bed and chairs
+ WINDOWS!
+ 24hrs less holidays

- the massage chair doesnt really get to the calf muscle.

I wanted to give this new place a try. Unfortulately, all the equipment is machines. Barely and free weights, and no cages. I'll stick to the Steve Nash fitness world down the street.

Really spacious and nice place to workout.
Friendly staff and access to lots of services in really cheap price.

Brand new, located in North Vancouver. All staff are friendly. Great amenities. Place to work out and exercise without any pressure or judgments. I recommend the black card for fully enjoyment.

Great place to workout. If you are starting your fitness journey planet fitness is perfect. I agree that if you are a power builder this is not the place for you. For the rest of us it has many cardio machines, a great 30 min circuit, and many weight machines. Free weight selection is limited but to get yourself healthy they aren't totally needed.

Pizza night. Well it is up to you if you eat the pizza. Weight loss is calories in vs calories expended. If you eat pizza eat less later. Or just don't eat the pizza.

It is currently a trend on YouTube to say planet fitness isn't the place to workout. The power builders gym isn't a comfortable place to go if you are starting your fitness journey.

Forgot to add they are open 24 hours so you can get a pre work, or 3am, workout and shower before you go to work.

A great gym for people who don't want to take their health seriously. No equipment for compound movements (squats, deadlifts, etc), and no heavy dumbbells. They claim to be a 'judgment free zone", but will turn on nuclear sirens if you wear a tank top, or use too much weight. How are you suppose to improve yourself without increasing weights? On-top of that, they give you pizza. What kind of gym serves pizza? I thought gyms are meant to promote health and push people to reach their goals? Don't bother going to this gym. They keep you fat so you keep coming back.

Edit: Thank you for your reply, planet fitness. I would like to point out some areas of concern for me.

1. "we don't actually like to use the lunk alarm, but it's in place to display our firm stance against judgement"
The hypocrisy of this statement is unreal. So you have a symbol that is meant to judge serious powerlifters/bodybuilders/weightlifters, and claim that you have a firm stance against judgement? If you were truly against judgement, you would let everyone into your gym.

2. "Pushing the body and achieving goals is completely acceptable, but loud weight slamming and shouting is not. "
Alright, please explain to me how someone is supposed to drop 90%-100% of their one rep max without making loud noises, as to not disturb the librarians in the gym. It's physically impossible. So, using the logic of planet fitness: pushing the body and achieving goals is completely acceptable, as long as you don't push your body or achieve your goals.
