Review:
The Planet Fitness in Groton, Ct., has a pleasant atmosphere, well-kept equipment, and is always clean. The company proclaims that it is the "Judgment Free Zone," which helps the gym attract people of all ages and fitness levels. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They are always willing to assist patrons by demonstrating exercises.
Though there are not weight machines, cardiovascular equipment such as treadmills, ellipticals and bikes are all offered. Free weights are available with a separate space for people who would like to strength train.
Additionally, the club hours are very accommodating for people with busy schedules. The gym is open from 4 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, the gym closes at 9 p.m., but there is still plenty of time and space for people to get their workouts in before or after work. Weekends, however, pose a bit of a problem for busy people. During the weekend, the gym is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., which can make it a little difficult to get to the gym on busy days.
The gym also caters to the University of Connecticut at Avery Point crowd by hosting pizza parties once a month. Although this allows members to get to know each other and the staff better, some people find it distracting. Also, this chain does not offer any group classes. Overall, Planet Fitness in Groton delivers to the clientele that it hopes to attract.
Check out how to pick the right gym for you.
