If I could possibly give zero stars, I would.I walked into the Elizabeth, New Jersey location because I wanted to join a gym on recommendation of my physical therapist.It’s Monday about noon time and it is extremely crowded which is not really a bother for me . What bothered me was, I walked up to the counter. There’s at least six or seven employees behind the counter just chitchatting. The young man that I spoke to, didn’t seem to understand what I was saying and I made clear that I was looking for a membership and I was referred to a gym by my physical therapist. So right away he just pulls out a piece of paper that shows the membership fee. And of course he proceeds to offer the black card which is 29.99 a month. Then tells me that I can use the membership anywhere around the world. And I said really? Anywhere around the world? What’s your locations?? He pulls up a piece of paper from under the desk, and shows me locations in the United States, such as Florida. Apparently the young man loves Florida and just kept saying you can go to Florida. He said it several times. I said - I don’t wanna go to Florida. You told me you’re all over the world. Where are you France, Spain, England, where are you? He again said- in Florida. I said well that’s not gonna help me. I’m never gonna go to Florida , Florida is not my thing. I just felt like he wasn’t paying attention to the questions I was asking. He didn’t really care whether I was there or not, and then he proceeded to talk to an employee next to him. So I said to them , well would you like to continue your conversation or would you like to help me?? To which the young lady looked at me and gave me a smirk as if to say, are you kidding? And so they were not very helpful and because of their attitude and the way that they work , I have a feeling they don’t really take care of the place and I’m concerned about cleanliness. I don’t think they clean the machine machines. I don’t think they do anything except stand behind the counter and talk.This was NOT a good experience. I called corporate headquarters and spoke to customer service and put in a complaint to which there is a case number. I’m really annoyed that as a potential new customer, they could care less whether I was there or not. They did not try to show me around the gym. They did not try to explain to me what they offer is far as the membership. They did not try to ask me why I was here if I was working on anything in particular, if I had any kind of limitations. They just didn’t care. So because of their attitude and the way that I was treated here, I won’t come here again and I can’t recommend them. And if I can add that all of the people behind the counter should be in better shape. If you’re working at a fitness gym, you should not be overweight and flabby. If the employees are not fit, why would I want to join there? I just feel that they should be in top shape working in a fitness club. But apparently if they’re standing behind the counter all day they’re not exercising, so…..As I said, I don’t recommend them. If you really wanna join planet fitness, join in a different location because the Elizabeth New Jersey location is trash. - Lola
