What makes Planet Fitness the right choice for your fitness journey in New York? The decision ultimately comes down to your personal needs and priorities. While some of the reviews highlight potential challenges, such as the presence of a younger crowd or occasional noise, they also point to the gym's most significant strengths. For many New Yorkers, the value proposition of Planet Fitness is unbeatable. The "Judgement Free Zone®" philosophy provides a safe and non-intimidating environment, which is a major draw for people who may feel overwhelmed by more intense gym cultures. The two-floor layout and ample equipment, including double-up machines, help to mitigate the issue of overcrowding, even if it can still be a concern during peak hours. The availability of amenities like showers and free Wi-Fi adds convenience to your workout routine. However, the most compelling reason to choose Planet Fitness is the incredible value of the Black Card membership. The ability to bring a guest for free every time is a fantastic perk that essentially allows two people to work out for the price of one. The access to massage chairs, HydroMassage beds, and any Planet Fitness worldwide makes it an excellent choice for those who travel or simply want to use their gym as a complete wellness hub. While there might be occasional inconveniences, the sheer amount of benefits for the price makes Planet Fitness a top contender for anyone looking for an affordable, accessible, and well-equipped gym in the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn.

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I’m writing a review now since I had a membership back in March. I’m tell this gym is awful a lot of high school students who just sit on the machines on their phones doing nothing but laughing. This was a waste of my time of even going there. I canceled my membership in April. Now I go to the Max Fitness and I enjoy every workout. It’s a family that’s cares about you and your well being.

September 01 · AKIRRA OUTERBRIDGELately my wife which is training there 5 days a week and trying to stay focused on her workouts, right at the counter Management is telling her not to use no more than a pair of weights, so right of the bat she's getting that negative vibes from Management, staff on the other hand instead of assisting people with their workouts they're busy cleaning, not enough equipment and not enough staff and trainers makes me think of a lot of lack of care for people who are not doing anything wrong just trying to stay focus on their workouts, get more equipment for the right people, and if you really want to change things check out on people who are on the phone sitting on the machines. I don't know why there's no suggestions box to fix this matter ( well I know, nobody cares what the people have to say )
July 17 · Antonio ValleThe facility is always clean, the equipment is well-maintained, and there's a wide variety of machines and free weights for all fitness levels.The staff is friendly, professional, and always willing to help.
May 16 · Mazhar aliI’ve been going to Planet Fitness, and honestly, it’s the worst gym experience I’ve ever had. The place is full of kids who just sit on the machines glued to their phones. They gather in groups, yelling and screaming, making it impossible to work out. It feels more like a school cafeteria than a gym. There’s no system to keep the machines free for people who actually want to exercise, and no staff stepping in to manage it. I can’t deal with this anymore, so I’m canceling my membership.
