I normally go to NF location, but I was in Cheektowaga, so I went here this time to take advantage of my black card membership. NF is always clean and inviting. Can't say that about here. First thing I noticed was the general odor of the place. Ok, I just want to work out, not eat here, so let's carry on. I then notice there are much more equipment than I'm used to, so a positive there. I finally get into the locker room to notice how dirty this place really is. Several locks looked like they're tagged for not being removed at night. The benches here are very narrow, almost excessively narrow, like they're trying to keep people from sleeping on them. I went through six lockers to find an unused one. The first five were either broken, there was a pair of dirty shoes in them, or a mess in them. I get changed and head to the urinals. I find one that has what appears to be lettuce in it. Who brings lettuce to a urinal?? Geesh. I go out to the floor to fill my water bottle. There is an Elkay bi-level fountain here, no bottle filler. How is that? I can't be the only person who uses bottle fillers here. That's unusual. I've installed several retro-fit bottle fillers on these in the past. I start my workout, seeing nicer treadmills than my home gym... These seem newer and have a fan on them, which is highly appreciated. I see many unused treadmills and ellipticals, which always confuse me. There is always quite a few of those being unused, which I'd rather there be more of other equipment that I usually have to wait for, like the pull down machine, and tricep press. Those are usually being used, so why have so many treadmills, ellipticals, and bicycles? I'm all done, so I head back to locker room. This is where things get weird. I'm just about done changing, and then I see a rather large, older (I'm 48) man come out of the shower stall, who then heads over to one of the narrow benches. No towel (Where is your towel, i'm thinking). Dude then sits his bare butt right onto the bench, again, no towel. Then dude begins to try and have a conversation with me.... All I can think is - you are naked, sitting straight up on a bench, and now you want to start a conversation???? I promptly ignore him, and head out. Lastly, nobody at the desk says anything like "have a good night" or anything... I always hear that in NF - EVERY TIME. I think I'll stay in NF.

I've been with the gym since April 2025, and so far, I'm very happy with my experience at Planet Fitness at the Thruway Plaza. The staff is very kind, and I feel good seeing everyday people working out and staying fit no matter what size or fitness level. Thanks, Planet Fitness, for making a person who has never worked out before, comfortable in this environment!

This club is large with plenty of space between machines and different workout areas. Definitely large than many clubs I have been. It is clean and the cleaning supplies are well stocked. The Black Card lounge has hydro-massage, but no cryo-launch.

I regularly went to Planet Fitness from 9 am to 12 pm, and it wasn't crowded around that time. There are plenty of machines to choose from, and the best part is that everything in the environment is almost always clean. Helps with the mood indeed. The staff are very friendly and helpful too. All and all, I like the place a lot and would recommend anyone who wants to get into working out to join Planet Fitness.

I like this gym, lots of equipment and the staff is pretty friendly. My only complaint (and not PF fault) is the people that come to the gym not to work out but sit on the equipment and stare at their phones. And I'm not talking about resting between sets! There are people who tie up a machine for 15-20 minutes staring at their phones and NOT moving a muscle. Can't you do that at home? My GOD people put the phone down, perform your workout and move on. The rest of us would like to use that machine too!
