Indoor Cycling Cancellation at Planet Fitness Brackenfell – Deeply Disappointed

I joined Planet Fitness Brackenfell specifically for the indoor cycling classes. These sessions have been a core part of the gym’s offering for years and are consistently full—often with members arriving and unable to find available bikes. That alone shows how popular and valued they are.

Now I’ve been informed that the spinning classes are being stopped and the room repurposed. If there’s no plan to relocate the bikes or continue the classes in another format, then the notice I gave is permanent. I cannot justify staying with a gym that removes the very reason I signed up.

Other gyms have managed to run cycling classes without a dedicated room—Planet Fitness could do the same. The demand is clear, the equipment is available, and the legacy of indoor cycling at Planet Fitness deserves to continue.

If spinning is truly being removed, I’ll have to move on. But I sincerely hope management will reconsider and resolve this in a way that honors the needs of loyal members.

Thanks for the update. I hope Planet Fitness will consider offering access to Plattekloof at no extra cost for those who re**** on Brackenfell’s spinning classes. While that’s an option, traffic around 5 PM is a nightmare and the extra fuel costs add up quickly. It would also be considerate to bring back spinning in another form—perhaps at a nearby club or even a new location, since Brackenfell is already at full capacity.
