Great for the price. Their TV programming is terrible, though.

Bigger place better environment good temperature to get the body warmed up and burn some fat, definitely the best gym I've been to and recommend to friends and family only thing that would fully improve it is a steam room lol

Very nice and clean gym but the only downside is people occupied gym machines and equipment and not Even using it.

I have to say that I have been a member of this franchise for many years and i have never had any problems until i moved here to Bakersfield, especially at the California and Ashe clubs. I was literally kicked out of the Ashe club and then later my membership was suspended by the GM and i believe her name was Aliya, because she said my attitude wasn't right when i asked her if she was going to keep interrupting me as i was trying to explain to her about an issue with my membership.At the California club after applying for a graveyard shift, and i was told they were looking, I was later told they are looking to hire, and i quote, "female employees or Hispanics". At all of the clubs there is no diversity in the employment, and they call themselves a "Judgment Free Zone"! Yet i was judged on my attitude and they post items such as "Lunk Zone". My workout partner was approached for making too much noise. I have even read a post by Phillip U. on 3/31/23 making a comment about it. yet they have certain individuals who practically yell on the cardio equipment during their conversations. Sounds like judgment to me!This is by far the most hypocritical franchise I have ever experienced in my life in the fitness industry. And one last thing. They refuse to give you corporate information. When you do get a number, it is some woman working from home who says she will start an "escalation report" and they never follow up!

Nice equipment, but too many youngsters standing around occupying the equipment, but not using it.

Literal trash, everyone who goes to these gyms should get a discount since they do not uphold to the planet fitness standards your gyms are over crowded understaffed and gross. Only seems to be this town. This gym franchise makes enough to do better. So do better. Anyone who goes here go get you in shape since it’s a lot better than this trash

worst experience I've had at a Planet Fitness to date, I've been to 3 in Bakersfield and up North in Bay area.extremely warm in the gym, as if no A/C was running, they did have the front door open. although the womens bathroom was cool(wife went in).staff were not eager to help. one row of treadmills worked, asked gentleman working why, and he said they were being cleaned. clearly, they were done cleaning, but no attempt to plug anything back in for the patrons to use the equipment.would rather drive an hour to anyother Planet Fitness than go back to this one. I will probably be writing to the Corporate Office, as other reviews from before address some of the same issues, and apparently nothing ia being done.

Gym gets too warm, they need to run AC at lower temp! Water fountain also runs hot, it doesn't cool the water down. And they don't have enough carabiners for their equipment

Some issues have arisen since Henry has been manager at the Niles Street location:\nThe latest was on December 24, 2022, my bike tires and tubes were viciously slashed in front of the gym window and nobody blinked an eye about it. When I discussed this with Henry on December 26, 2022, he said that only the sheriff's department, which I have a case, could only look at the video. (The sheriff still has not proceeded my case.) He was very rude discussing this with me saying there is nothing that he could do. I told him that this vicious slashing was a threat on all members being it was right in front of the gym window. I told him that people hear about this, that all good people will not want to join this gym and it will be left with gang bangers. And yet I am the biggest advocate for East Bakersfield.\nThree weeks later, my membership was cancelled because of policy violation. I looked online at the PF code of ethics and I found no such violation. Patience C. had the same issue on a Yelp review.\nI discussed this with the district manager, Erin, on February 1, 2023. She said this was from management above her due to my use of camera in policy violation. I told her that no such thing ever happened and that she should pull the video on it. She said there is nothing that she can do.\nI wrote to corporate right after, and they never responded.\nI am an original member of the Niles St gym for 4 1/2 years and have been a constant member of gyms for 40+ years. I never had a problem at all with the other gyms. I joined the PF on Niles St because it was closest to my house, and because of my needing to work out more often because of chronic nerve damage, it would motivate me to get to the gym more often.

Too many Edgars between 8pm and 11pm all they do is shake their hands like 20 times per night and dont let anyone else use the equipment. I still rate it 5 just because its clean helpful staff and close to home

At about 10:30 pm on 3/31/23, there was a group loudly screaming, grunting, and slamming weights on two smith machines while doing dead lifts and bench press. The two staffers working that night stood at the front desk looking at the group and laughing every time they slammed the weights. Nothing was done about it. Really disturbing to other members. Where's the Lunk Alarm when you need it??

usually the staff is cool but I went in recently to upgrade my membership so I could bring in my nephew as a guest, the staff member assisting me started being rude as if I asked something unimaginable and when I asked more questions trying to understand what I needed to bring in so that he qualified, my inquiries were met with attitude.
