Planet Fitness

This is a very nice, clean gym. Staff are friendly and clientele is laid back. One big issue is their freeweights only go up to 60 lbs. Perhaps its a tactic to keep meatheads out, but I still think it’s not asking too much for a gym to carry up to 100 lbs. Well, it is $ 10 a month after all, and I get it, but I did not think to look for this issue when I joined. I probably would not have joined, had I paid better attention.

Planet fitness in Woburn is great the staff is great and you can’t beat it for the ten bucks a month I just wish they had. More free weights and some curl bars guess they are upstairs maybe they could be taken down I used to be a member of the Bsc where everyone has a hair across their ass this is one of the best gyms I have belonged to

DO NOT SUPPORT PLANET FITNESS!!!
Planet fitness has been charging my bank account for 5 months after I canceled my membership… On August 19^th 2013 I went into the Woburn location to cancel the two memberships under my account, Mine (membership number: 1988) and my girlfriends (membership number: 1987.) We were moving to California at the beginning of the next month so it was one of the last things we had to take care of before we left. We even took a picture of us holding the copy of the contract and posted it on twitter on that date! A couple months into living in california I decided to finally check my bank account and to deposit my first check from my new job. I was living off of the cash I saved and not using this bank account at all for months. I was beyond surprised when I found out that Planet Fitness has been charging me for 3 months (at the time) and even forced my account to overdraft multiple times. They canceled one of my memberships but continued to charge the other for some reason. Both under the same card, both which were canceled on August 19^th. I contacted the planet fitness location and explained to the employee my situation. He told me not to worry that his manager would call me back first thing in the morning. I waited a week and no reply. I called back and finally got the manager, who listened to my story and told me that I have to come in person to cancel my membership. I told him that I already canceled it in person to which he replied (completely disregarding what I had just said) «you got to cancel in person, I cant refund your money. call corporate if you arent happy but they are going to tell you the same thing.» So thats exactly what I did. I called corporate and explained to them my situation, they took down my information and told me they will be contacting the Woburn branch and contacting me back a in week later or less. 2 weeks go by with no form of contact and I decide to call again. This time speaking to Ian. Ian give me his email address and tells me to email him the entire story for him to forward to the Woburn branch which I did. Ian informed me that someone would contact me back as soon as possible. 2 WEEKS LATER and still nothing. So I finally call him back and he tells me that the Woburn branch and manager received my information and is going to call me back and that things have gotten busy since the holiday season… sounds familiar right? I waited until the new years have passed and talked to a woman on the phone who tells me that its her first week and she is now the new manager… I explain to her my entire situation and she fights me every step along the way telling me that I need to fax her a copy of the receipt in which I replied «I dont have one but you guys should absolutely still have the original also I sent you a picture of my girlfriend with the cancellation papers» to which she replied, «well you still need yours.» Makes a lot of sense right? Then she tells me I only canceled one membership under my account and implies that I am lying about canceling both and «forgot to do it» Anyways. she finally tells me she is going to contact the headquarters to get me a refund. I thought all was taken care of but I wanted to make sure so I contacted the branch again a week later to check and come to find out that the person I talked to was only there for a couple days training before she LEFT FOR ANOTHER LOCATION and that there is ANOTHER NEW MANAGER NOW. I spoke to the new manager and explained to her everything, for the 6 or 7^th time to the 6^th or 7^th person. She tells me she is going to call the woman who was training there then contact me back. She doesnt and I finally called today and she told me that my refund has been requested but we have to see if they are going to approve it. I asked her if she was going to take care of the overdraft fees they costed me which I refuse to pay for their mistake and they told me no and that I will have to wait another «couple of months» until I even find out if I get my money back. Now I am 6 months into this and with 2 months of contacting and chasing them down and have to wait another 2 months to FIND OUT if im going to get LESS THAN HALF of the money they owe me. Now my bank account is frozen because I refuse to pay their overdraft fees and I cant cash my checks or pay my bills or anything.

This Planet Fitness is smaller and seems to be more outdated than several other PFs I have visited. The are tons of cardio machines (I’ve never had to wait) but this establishment is definitely lacking in variety. Cardio-​wise, there are only treadmills, ellipticals, and a few upright and recumbent stationary bikes. I would LOVE to see this gym get some Arc-​Trainers as all of the other PFs I’ve been to have had. These are the best cardio machines and I’m surprised to not see them here.
The other thing that really bothers me is the tiny, almost nonexistent stretching area. There are two mats in a small corner walled off area of the gym, and it’s almost impossible to do stretching or body workouts there, especially if there is anyone else inside. This definitely needs to be rearranged.
All that being said, I really do like coming to this gym. There are plenty of different weight machines and free weights available, and I love the PF Express 30 minute circuit training area. The tanning booths are great and the massage chairs are awesome. Staff members are really friendly and there is a lot of parking. The members are friendly and courteous. Not bad at all for $ 10 or $ 20 a month. I’m really keeping my fingers crossed that this gym soon gets a remodel or update to bring it up to par with a lot of other Planet Fitness locations.

$ 10 a month nice and clean nice staff work out whenever i want what else can i say?

I haven’t been to a planet fitness that I haven’t really liked. You can go
and work out and never feel intimidated! Great for all levels of training.
Only $ 10.00 a month. a bargain. One negative is that you do get charged once a year a $ 20 plus membership fee… that part of the contract is not well explained when you sign up. Even with that charge, it is still a bargain.

Perfect for basic needs — weights, cardio machines, etc. The staff are always pleasant, and someone is always cleaning and wiping down. I will only be leaving because I really want spin classes — the cardio machines on their own just don’t add variety for me – that’s my only «complaint» but for the price, I wouldn’t expect classes — it’s just a personal preference. Summary: great price for a very good basic place to workout.

24 Hours a day = SUPER! Most of the staff is very nice! And how can you go wrong for $ 10 per month?
o BUT — the dumbells stop at 60 pounds
o There are NO Curlbars! One person «abused it» (according to mgt), so they put it upstairs, never to return again.
o There are no flat benches for free weights (bars)
o Kind of wintery/​dark feeling inside, with no real windows in the gym area. The skylights are covered with blue tarp, due to a roof leak. They need some SUN in the place…
o I asked them to mail out the annual statement (for insurance reimbursement), and they said they do not do that (I’d have to pick it up) — even though I offered to pay for the postage. No go.
SO, if you like a gym with LOTS of machines, but very few free weights, this is your place. If not, the Burlington Planet Fitness has almost all the weights that Woburn does not have (different owners). So that is where I normally go…

Great gym in my opinion. I highly recommend joining any Planet Fitness gym: they’re very cheap in comparison to other gyms, have an abundance of aerobic equipment, and offer free weights as well. What’s not to love? I am a black card member (I normally go to the Burlington gym), and am highly satisfied with PF. Now for the Woburn gym’s specifics.
This gym is marvelous! I love the fact that it is 24 hours! I’ve come here on occasions where I felt like I overate during a late dinner, so having this gym around is great. The gym is stocked with aerobic equipment, so you’ll never have to sit and wait for a machine to free up. The gym is clean and the equipment is in great shape. You won’t be running on treadmills from the 80’s, that’s for sure. They also have TV’s lined up, so you can just plug in your headphones to the wireless receiver and listen to the TV.
I guess my only real gripe about this gym is the lack of an aerobics room (like the one in Burlington). I like to have space to do my sit ups and jump ropes, but that’s OK. I don’t particularly care for this, but the gym also lacks aerobics instructors. So basically, you need to devise a program suitable to your needs and do everything yourself.
If you join PF, and live near the area, this is one of the better Planet Fitness gyms to go to (unlike the neglected Watertown location, which I felt was just horrible).

I’m a huge fan of the Woburn Planet Fitness. The staff is great – very friendly, and they take good care of the place – and the clientele is a nice mix of everyone. It truly is a «judgement» [sic] free zone, with plenty of cardio machines and enough weight equipment for everyone, plus it’s super cheap and there’s no contract.
DON’T go if you want classes or lots of frills. This is all about cardio and weights, and lots of purple and yellow neon walls. You don’t get anything else, apart from some nice plasma tvs and abundant parking… if you consider those amenities. They do actually have a pizza night and a bagel morning once a month each, which seems to sort of defeat the purpose of working out.
The atmosphere at this gym was so great that it inspired me to use it like 5x a week and I wound up getting into much better shape. I had to cancel my membership recently because I moved across the country but I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

I recently joined this gym with my father and sister. I have nothing but positive things to say about the gym and the environment. I have found the staff to be exceptionally friendly and courteous. The gym itself is very clean and a pleasant environment to work out in. I really enjoy the options the gym has to offer including the machines, tanning, massage chairs and training. I would highly recommend this gym.

I’ve had the joy of coming here b/​c the boobs running my primary planet fitness (somerville) have both the old/​new gyms closed @ the same time,
Note on Somerville PF — it’s a nice touch when you show up to your gym & are greeted with «weyah closed, but you have the convenient location of dorchestah or woobun (both 10miles away, and we’re in somerville). What the f*ck?
That being said, these guys in Woburn are supposedly open 24 hours. It’s VERY basic (I don’t think there’s any group exercise rooms), it’s basically a bunch of cardio in a chain link fence w/​all the lifting machines around the outside. It just opened so it’s new/​clean & very cheap ($ 10−20/mo).
The only cardio they have are treadmills, orbitals & bikes, no stairmasters or total body cross trainers. But what do you expect for this cheap & open 24 hours? Again, think very basic & you can’t go wrong.
