I have nothing but good things to say about my experience. You couldn’t ask for more friendlier staff members. They are always very welcoming. What I have to shake my head at are some of the members who have to complain about what’s going on in the club right now. They are probably the same people who complained about when was it going to take place. There is a simple solution, go elsewhere until it’s finished!!!!!

Friendly staff to instruct customers on programs, technology, and equipment. Clean rooms and equipment. Positive signage, bright windows, and no judgement for all ages. Love the 30-Minute Workout room. Easy parking.

In my opinion, I really like this place to exercise because I normally have all the machinery available at any time. I love that. Thank you planet fitness 👍

Manager relentlessly harassed me every time I walked in, always checked if my son and my membership were up to date in my eyes just to mess with me. Made it very uncomfortable. The rest of the staff was awesome and very welcoming. just wondering if she is the best choice for a manager and wondering if she is as strict with all of the members at this planet fitness needless to say FELT VERY judged at this planet fitness by the manager. I will be dropping my membership and won't be recommending this gym to anyone.

Very kind and attentive :) You only need to remove the outside mats if they are not going to be used or to put the sanitizing liquid.

Terrible attention, they do not perform the service well and the girl at the reception is super rude, her name is Mariana Vázquez

They comply with the appointment schedule, attention and recommended service. Natalia excellent treatment. The only bad thing is that the internet fails a bit for card payments. But in work, quality, attention and cleanliness very good.

Very good service, I sent WhatsApp at almost 12 at night to schedule an appointment early the next day and they attended to me immediately.

Go with Paulina, excellent service and very professional

The lady who attended me cut me with an extra razor next to my nail without asking me first, I didn't have a buried nail or anything like that, she never asked me if I was okay with that, she said it was normal and that with salt water it would I removed it, I followed the instructions but my finger got infected and swelled up very ugly, the truth was there was no need to cut that extra part and apart with a razor, lousy service

I love how clean the gym is. Brian is a very hard worker and makes sure the place is spotless. The front desk staff (Finn, Bennett, etc) are nice and friendly. I love the variety of cardio equipment and the fact that I never have to wait to use it because there are so many machines. The hydromassage table is a plus!

Convenient location. Friendly staff. Not too crowded on weekends. There’s always a treadmill, bike or glider available to use. Great value for the per month fee.

I like this gym because it feels like a non judgemental place. The people working out there are always nice and the staff is great. Definitely recommend it. Always kept clean inside too. 5 stars !!

-establishment is well kept and clean (including private rooms and bathrooms)

-quiet

-crowd is manageable

-everyone/staff is polite

-everyone is in their own lane; no one is bothersome

-sanitation is easily accessible and readily available at all times

-membership is affordable

-membership contract is easy to understand and adjustable based on one’s individual needs

-parking is spacious

-location is close to highways for easy commute

-equipments are well kept and not broken; there’s something for everyone to use based on one’s own personal fitness journey

-CON: more cameras around the vicinity and inside (I haven’t had any bad experiences, just an observation)

Highly recommend Branford!

Ben truly cares about his clients, and he has the skills to develop plans that will truly help them, so I highly recommend him! He’s honest, dedicated, and passionate about each individual he meets!

It's a clean, peaceful and great place to workout relax and unwind. Staff is friendly and the place is super clean.

Whoever the older employee is who goes around cleaning everything during the late night hours needs to be put in check. Walks around bullying people and then accusing THEM of having an attitude problem. I’ve never had issues with any other staff member here. It took every bit of willpower I had to walk away and not put him in check myself. You’re better off finding another gym or avoiding late hours.

Update: Just like some others on here have said, I got a voicemail from a manager, called back several times and received no response back. Absolutely nothing done about it. Stay away.

Planet fitness in CT is way different than Florida. The staff in CT is not helpful and everything looks dirty and old. if you have a black membership, they don’t honor the discounts or benefits. Totally disappointing 👎🏻
Update: 11/9 I received an email from the manager asking me to her about the situation. I called her but she didn’t respond. She even tried to call me back 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

It was clean, spacious and not too crowded. It was an enjoyable workouts. Thank you!

Big rip off although payments come out automatically they still charge late fee. Why aren’t y’all supposed to take it out on time like what. Then it’s so difficult to cancel subscriptions like what. Never again rather pay extra money somewhere else. Yes it saves you supposedly but go pay LA or Edge expensive but basecalky the same once you notice how much pf rips you off. Good bye for ever. I will cancel tomorrow morning ASAP this is ridiculous.

This is the current state of the bathroom at the Newington location. I’m sorry but this is completely unacceptable. Disgusting! This place has definitely gone down the tubes. They need to do much better.

I dont go here but I saw an employee that definitely deserves a raise!!! She carried an older woman's things and walked her to her car and made sure she was all settled in and safe, such a kind person!

This is a good club where one can shed a few lbs. It is centrally located and it has an excellent variety of equipment. The price is reasonable and the place is clean!

Currently a member as of 7/13/2022. Lots of machines that are "out of order" I work out 7 days a week and some machines have been broken for close to a month. The only reason I haven't left is because of how close it is to my house. Currently looking at other options. Update: The owner replied under my review and I can't send him a message or contact him. In short all of the staff is aware of it as I have mentioned it to them and the machines have labels saying out of order so yes management and I'm sure ownership is well aware of what's going on. Please fix it and stop pretending as if management and ownership is unaware of what's going on. I'm there 2 hrs a day 6 days a week. UPDATE 7/21/2022 MACHINES STILL BROKEN AND NOT FIXED. Also they have free Wi-Fi and their internet security certificate is not valid which means unless you have a VPN on your phone you can be tracked and or worst your pics and videos can be compromised by anyone who logs in to the same Wi-FI as you are all sharing your personal IP addresses on your phones.Today is August 3, 2022 posting a new pic. Machines still not fixed. New pic as of 803/2022 another one bites the dust.. Today is 8/16/2022 Finally there a tech fixing the machines. 3 months minimum to get them fixed.

Very difficult to change gym locations. Customer service is not too great.
I wish I knew how bad planet fitness was before signing up. Please read this before signing up with Planet Fitness.  I've been a member since 2022 at the Newington location. I moved to Bloomfield so I wanted to transfer gym locations. This proved to be a very difficult task. Planet fitness makes it very difficult to make any changes or transfer or even cancel your membership which is what I'm going to do because I'm very frustrated with this gym. All I want to do is change gym locations so that I can go closer to my home. I tried first online then asked for help from the Newington location and the manager  never got back to me. I then called back the next day and got the assistant manager and he was not able to assist me and told me to contact someone named Josh at Ignite fitness and gave me their email addres. He never got back to me. So it's been 3 weeks and I have not been able to go to the gym and I'm in the same position So PLEASE BEWARE before joining Planet Fitness

Really nice gym and convenient location. The gym was super clean, warm and friendly staff, way above average locker rooms and a great assortment of equipment. The equipment is spaced out nicely so you’re not on top of other members and there’s plenty of room to stretch too.

I visited here while traveling for work and will definitely visit again next time I’m back in the area.

Thank you for an enjoyable experience and great workout!

First & Foremost this gym has had a complete upgrade since Melvin has stepped in. Staff is always friendly upon greetings except for the old night crew who weren’t really attentive the few nights we’ve worked out. I have seen Melvin detail the whole gym as well as bathrooms. Definitely deserves some type of incentive….Keep up the great work!!!!

Melvin Johnson is a hands-on manager does a great job! I’ve been a member for six years, the whole staff Does an excellent job! The gym is always clean staff is always professional.

Planet fitness Wethersfield is hands down the best in the area. Ying and Yang are the friendliest customer service people I have ever encountered. They are definitely motivators in all senses, very respectful also.

Great gym with good selection of machines so no waiting.  Staff is friendly without being intrusive & the facility is extremely clean & up to date.

Large gym with a lot of cardio machines which is what id imagine a lot of the members here use it for. Treadmills and ellipticals are a mainstay, with various other sections for machines and free weights. The one thing that is upsetting is that it is not a full 24 hour gym, but for the hours they have it is manageable. Staff are friendly when you need something and not too pushy for up sells like some other gyms I've been in so far.

Been a 5 year active member but due to the car break in issues I choose to stop attending the EH location. Thankful for the time I spent there, staff and guests were great. If it ever gets better maybe I'll be back.

My first time and membership as a black card holder,meaning I paid the max to get all the benefits. I'm 64 yrs old and my first day was great and I anticipate it will always be that way ...it's all here.

Lately, I find that the equipments at this location any location in general needs a new equipment   yet they raise their prices and it's unfair at this point just need to do better if you're going to increase your prices!! No, everything is so expensive and you choose to raise your price at the wrong time

To mention poor parking lot and car break-ins

Been coming here for  some time now the Staff is attentive and helpful it's always clean the environment is pleasant. THE place is Nice and welcoming g always Habs a good vibe about coming here! Thanks pF

Fuller Yoga Pilates and Massage

Highly recommend. The Sculpt and Flow class with Caitlin is a dynamic workout that will quickly sculpt. She makes it fun and enjoyable for all levels of experience.

I enjoyed the pilates reformer class with the owner Justine. She was knowledgeable, helpful, and made me feel very comfortable as a  first timer.

Also the studio is beautiful and has a spectacular view.

April 2019 update: still love and highly recommend Fuller Yoga. Justine offers a lot of specialty workshops and series like yoga for scoliosis, nutrition workshops, beginner classes, etc. Really looking forward to bringing my daughter to the next mother daughter class!
Original review: Fuller offer a wide variety of different classes, a full schedule, and many good membership packages. I've taken Pilates, Barre, and various types of yoga here. All of the instructors have excellent knowledge of anatomy and alignment, and can help individualize your practice so it works best for you in a safe way. Also they just opened a sister studio in West Hartford!

My favorite part of going to Fuller Yoga is their yoga wall. I HIGHLY recommend it to everyone at all stages of practice. It helps me understand and practice proper alignment of poses. Justine has a deep understanding of spinal health and this has been very useful during classes. She pays attention to each participant, and gives instruction as needed. I like the ease of scheduling classes online, and the evening/weekend classes work into my schedule.

As a yoga teacher, I personally want to take classes at a studio where I feel the instruction is quality and inspired. I adore the variety of classes that Fuller Yoga offers, and the instructors are top notch. I especially value all of Justine Fuller's classes. Her knowledge of anatomy is deep, and her skill set is vast. Every yoga / barre / pilates class is unique, and there is a wisdom to how she sequences the movements and offers modifications to accommodate all levels or physical needs. I walk out of every class feeling mentally and physically stretched out, relaxed, and inspired. I HIGHLY recommend checking out this studio for a fantastic yoga experience experience!

Just started coming here in January and I love it! Fuller yoga is now my go to studio! This is a very welcoming studio with trained instructors who teach you how to do yoga for your body and needs! Always learning off of the different styles and instructors of yoga and finding new friends who enjoy the same classes as I do. Love Melissa’s class on Fridays and every other Saturday. Also enjoy KB, Natalie and Kateryna. A great place to experience a yoga practice with your own needs in mind. Worth my 35+ minute drive to Glastonbury.

Vita Vie Retreat

Vita Vie Retreat is one of the best wellness retreats I have ever been to! Going there year after year with my Mom is a treat we look forward to. I always go there knowing that after my stay, I always leave feeling rejuvenated and quite honestly, physically, mentally, and emotionally stronger. Margot and all the instructors are incredible and are phenomenal at their craft of teaching fitness classes. The spa, the food, and the overall experience at Vita Vie….chefs kiss! I highly recommend this wellness retreat to anyone looking to relax & get their health back all while finding their best self wrapped up in a vacation!

Vita vie was a week of fitness, nutrition, and relaxation rolled into one. Margot is so knowledgeable and encouraging. The hotel room and facilities are super. I will be back again for this treat!!!

Vita Vie Retreat / Boot Camp
great experience - perfect vacation and lost weight
highly recommend.  Margot is the best trainer and mentor for healthy and fit living.  Taylored to you.

If you want to jump-start a new healthy lifestyle, GO to one of Margot's week-long retreats. She will give you valuable information, and you will meet excellent instructors. Mitch was my favorite! He will introduce you to Yin and Yang Yoga classes. A typical day at the retreat will include starting your day outside doing some cardio and toning classes with Margot, a break for a healthy lunch, and then 2-3 hours in the afternoon taking yoga classes. You will also meet other instructors along the way and learn fun new exercises. I loved it and cannot wait to go back to another week-long retreat. Thank you, Margot! It was a week-long adventure that I will never forget

I researched over 10 fitness retreats and am so happy that I went with Vita Vie Retreat!  Margot always answered all my questions regarding COVID precautions, accommodations, and Hurricane Elsa that was heading to Florida while I was there.  The workouts were great and always were mixed up so we got a great variety.  It was nice to also have Michelle for a short time as a coach as well and hate that she had to leave early.  I do wish we could have had a pool workout and a run within the workouts to give some extra variety.  The Seagate Hotel is beautiful and the food is always great.  I loved the private beach club menu for lunch especially and everyone was so nice.  I asked for measurements to be done at the beginning and end of the five days and it was not a problem, I was thrilled with my results in that short time.  It would be cool for one evening that the full group and coaches eat dinner together so folks can get to know everyone better.  I would absolutely recommend this retreat to everyone!
