Planet Fitness

No-frills gym with sufficient equipment to satisfy most of your fitness needs. Gears are mostly in good order, but some seem to be perennially "temporarily out of order." Patrons behave well for the most part, though people do hog the gear, sitting there typing on their phones a lot. So you need to be mindful if you prefer to rotate (as I do) on a couple of machines to leverage time spent. Cleaning fluids, etc., prominently on display, so the "expectation" is clear. But post COVID, increasingly fewer people still clean the stations. I like the mantras on the walls everywhere about "no judgment," creating a user-friendly environment for more casual fitness enthusiasts vs. the dedicated gym rats. It's 24x7, and wallet-friendly. So rare in the Bay Area!

Update 5/2/22: There has been changes in management and in the facility! There is staff at the desk, upgraded cleaning stations, hand sanitizer, and overall is much cleaner. Thank you for the improvements. I changed my review from 2 to 5 star.

Update 4/6/23: again, no one here working to talk about my concerns.

3/31/23 I’ve been coming here for abt 10 months. I do like the location, people, and machines. However, the cleanliness has declined significantly. I ask for refills at cleaning stations often. Today I had to find paper towels and do it myself. The floors are constantly disgusting. Lots of lint balls and paper towel particles. Machines are dusty in the grooves, too. Today, no one has been manning the desk, as well. I’m writing this review in hopes there will be changes, so I do not leave and go somewhere else.

This is a clean and well maintained gym with very reasonable rates. Patrons are also very aware, they clean the machines after use. The front office staff are friendly and answer your questions. Very happy with my experience here. They recently changed the time to 24 hours open which is awesome for people who work late. I wish the facility is more well lit, I kinda find it dark.

Honestly not only is this planet fitness 5 min away from my house but also I recently joined Active and Fit and the other planet fitness told me I would have to cancel my membership and sign up again but the planet fitness Saratoga employees are always so help and the manager was able to set up my Active and Fit account without having to cancel my membership! Thank you guys seriously! I appreciate y’all for keeping it real and always willing to help your members!
