Planet Fitness – El Paso – Far West

This PF is way overcrowded most evenings… which would be tolerable if it weren’t for the large amounts of individuals sitting on equipment using playing with their technology and NOT USING THE MACHINE they are hogging.
Today. I actually stared at a chick for 5 minutes as she was «resting» between sets on the Hip Adduction Machine, checking both the TV screen and her phone without a care in the world that I was CLEARLY waiting for the machine.
I could have done 2 sets in that time. I don’t come to the gym for relaxation and chill. I come in the short amount of time I have to work out. I have other things to do! These people have no gym etiquette AT ALL. **i will leave out how many reps she did when she was using the machine and the weight she did those reps at because I’m not a «lunk», but I will say this. She didn’t know what muscles she was working, and she won’t be sore tomorrow**
I also was waiting for a smith machine, when a group of people cut ahead of me when one opened up. I was waiting before they were, but I didn’t feel like arguing. So I moved on.
Overall, I find I wait for machines. A lot. Because other members have no consideration that not everyone comes here to pretend to work out. I get it. No gymtimidation. I don’t want to «gymtimidate» anyone. Nor do I wanna hook up with anyone. I want to go to the gym, do my workout and leave. I’m not there to socialize.

This is my first official gym membership and I am glad I chose this location because it is minimally packed throughout the whole day. It is definitely a smaller location compared to the others but I like that I don’t have to wait for a machine or station. The staff is friendly and pretty helpful in terms of helping a newbie get comfortable in a gym. Not only that but the actual members that go here are really friendly and helpful when you need to use equipment. The only thing I still can’t adopt is the pizza day. The entire gym wreaks of pizza and it makes it pretty uncomfortable to workout. I’ve yet to have a slice but i think it bothers me more. Overall if you’re looking for a quiet little gym to sing up for I recommend this location.

I am so happy with my decision to become a member of this gym. I love that I can go to the gym and get the most out of it. I am have been working out with Chay for the past few months and I love the results. He pushes me hard and knows when to give me adequate breaks. And he cracks me up, too! I love PF!

I’ve been going here for a little over a year. It’s great for anyone that just wants to get in a good workout without any of the bells and whistles. All the staff members are friendly and welcoming, I stay to chit chat with them a few times per week. Even when it’s busy there are plenty of options. I see the same people there all the time. No complaints here!

This place is a standard gym. Gets busy around prime work out hours like right after people get out of work, though. The place is pretty clean, but they’ll occasionally run out of paper towels in the dispensers. Planet Fitness is a great place to work out, though. The people are friendly, there are never really any people waiting around for a machine, and as long as you avoid going right after work til about maybe 9 or 10 at night, there really isn’t an issue with finding a treadmill or any of the other machines.

Poor customer service so much for non judgement free zone! Their desk staff judges u all the way!!! Thank God my membership is over in Dec! Plus they have no free wi-​fi, what is up with that???
