My partner and I are harassed by a front desk employee named ****** who works at the Planet Fitness in ******** off of Winshester and ********.She watches us every time we visit the gym and makes it a point to come talk to us and enforce rules that we aren't being broken. I asked her and her manager to show me in the bilateral agreement we signed what rule I broke, but they never produce results.I will continue to broadcast this message as far and wide as I can to ensure Planet Fitness tightens up it's hiring practices and TERRIBLE **************** standards. I am completely embarrassed for their leadership TeamInitial Complaint

I was trying to attend planet fitness, which I have a monthly reoccurring fee for the last 4 to 5 years. Upon scanning my badge, they accused me of not being me, and I was willing to provide them my phone number, email address, address, credit card that used to be historically on file and account information if applicable. They refused and now I have to drive home, because Im not gonna provide any additional information.I am only writing a Better Business Bureau review Because there is no corporate number and a lot of the corporate people are just stating outside of the buildingInitial Complaint

Since September of 2023, Ive been trying to cancel my membership. Ive mailed several letters, reached out via email and have not received a response while I am still being charged. I have reached out to my bank to stop all recurring payments since Planet Fitness is having such a hard time cancelling my membership.Initial Complaint

I have been paying for this account t for a while now without realizing, no big deal! Called to cancel my account and they told me that I was only able to do this in person at my home club. Would not let me do it over the phone and would not even acknowledge that I wanted to cancel, only suggesting I transfer my home club o somewhere closer to where I moved. So only able to do it in person? **********, ** is the home club and that cannot be legal? Horrible businessInitial Complaint

I joined while I was *********** Navy at the ***************************************. Subsequently I moved to a location where the closest Planet Fitness location was over an hour away. I tried to call and cancel and was denied stating I need to send a letter. I am not satisfied with the cancellation policies and disappointed that I had to pay for postage to send a letter when the club could have verified me over the phone or had me sign a document via email. I had placed a stop payment as I was paying for a Black Card Membership for over a year and a half of not going to a Planet Fitness and it was challenging to cancel. Now I owe said amount before the policy can be canceled. This is not a fair business practice to customers and even worse for *********** military members. I am disappointed in Planet Fitness, their lack of compassion for their customers/and military members, and I would not recommend working with this business in any capacity.Business response

Hello and thank you for your message, we would be happy to assist further. After using the customer's information provided, we were unable to locate a Planet Fitness membership within our franchise based in ******, **. This may be because the membership originated at a location outside of our franchise and therefore, we would be unable to view membership details. We were able to contact the *************************************** location and confirm your membership was with their franchise. We have notified their management team of your concerns and recommend to follow-up with your home club location by calling ************ as they are able to see your membership details and may be able to assist further.
