Planet Fitness

I travel everywhere and go to many PF! The 35ST NYC PF is the best I have ever seen. The Club Manager John at this location leaderships and passion is unmatched. The staff is awesome they keep it clean and the equip is the best out of any PF tons of benches, etc. Thank you John for making PF the right choice

Great location… The upgrades to this gym is really nice also! Always come here when I’m staying in the city 🏙️ -Lafayette Dawkins

Greatly improved location. Much cleaner than it was for years. Good location. Hard working staff. It’s paid off. Some of the customers here are awful. Sit forever on equipment staring at phones. Or just mentally off balanced. Very midtown west. And a reminder: locks on lockers can’t keep thieves out in any gym. Do not put anything of value in your locked locker. It will be stolen. Especially in midtown west. Only drawback. Slugs that sit forever on the equipment and stare at their phones. Happens a lot here.

What appears to be a recent upgrade to this Planet Fitness location is deceptive. It has fallen to an epidemic of swapping out perfectly good and ergonomically correct Life Fitness strength machines for poorly designed and even dangerous machines by the Matrix brand. One example… Once upon a time, this gym had a very popular machine called “Torso Rotation.” The user kneels on a round platform, their back held in place by chest pads, and pushes their hips from side to side against resistance. The chest pads kept it safe and effective. To work your obliques, you can’t turn your entire chest. And it is incredibly risky to your spine to not have back support. The Matrix version of this machine, “Rotary Torso,” offers zero back support and is dangerous even at low weights. By not isolating muscle groups, it doesn’t really do anything. This is obvious just looking at both machines. I can’t wrap my head around why Planet Fitness as a corporate entity doesn’t care about introducing thousands of members to dangerous equipment, but it is what it is, I guess. None of New York’s expensive gyms would ever entertain Matrix equipment. (Chelsea Piers, for example, has Life Fitness.) The employees at this location are great, though- super sweet and on top of things…

Horrible location!! The gyms bathrooms are beyond dirty especially the men’s definitely need a good cleaning It gets very crowded overly crowded for such a small location all the machines are literally less then 1 ft away would not recommend or revisit this location. Just signed up and so far not pleased.
