What is a typical working day like at Planet Fitness?

I loved the members and had a great community with the clientele.

Worked a 72 hour shift once and did not receive any support beyond a tiny shout-out at the bottom of a weekly email.

Flexible schedule for college students, free membership

Female staff get harassed by male customers and employees alike. I was followed to my car by a customer and management did nothing. They also made me, a 5’2 woman close alone at night which put me in danger a lot

Building relationships with members and free membership.

PAY, MANAGEMENT, JOB DUTIES!!!! You basically clean your whole shift and can come across some nasty stuff! Mcd's and burger king pay better!

If you are looking for some cash its a good start

Night shift is awful, you never get that sleep back

- Easy Job - Okay pay - Free Gym membership (Off the clock)

- Corporate doesn't care about the workers there - Constantly running behind people to clean tanning beds nearly the entire shift - The job gets repetitive and tiring

Very super friendly staff and positive work environment

Working late at night can be chat

The hours at my franchise were fairly flexible, if needed. I could come in an hour late and was able to just stay an hour later to make up the time/money. The location I was at was a top location. With this, management was pretty good and attentive with both members and staff. My main manager was nice, understanding, and constantly looking for ways to improve the gym and his staff. Not just how well we were doing our jobs but the connection that we had with each other. Good team building. Though, I'm sure this drastically varies from location to location.

Since this was a top location, they were fairly strict about the standard of operations. They couldn't be short hours so if you had time to make up you needed to make it up before end of week. Very heavy with the cleaning, which isn't a bad thing! Especially for it being a gym. But, the level of attention to detail and frequency of cleaning was not on par with the amount we got paid. I believe I started at around $12 an hour. After 90 days I think I got a 50 cent raise. But cleaning rows of machines top to bottom for nearly the entirety of the shift as well as rotating walk throughs (going through the entire gym to check trashes, paper towels dispensers, and bathroom check, etc.) was not worth the $12/hour. It is entry level but for the level of physical work it wasn't worth it for me. I fully believe the level of cleanliness should be this way, I have no problems with their protocols, but getting paid more would have been more worthwhile. Not to mention there isn't much places for you to go. Shift lead, assistant manager, store manager, and regional manager, that's about it. If you're a younger adult/teenager with energy, a love for staying busy, making your job a workout, and don't have real bills to pay this would be a good job to start gaining some basic experience. If you're an older adult needing to pay your mortgage and feed kids, I don't recommend.
