Planet Fitness Midrand a headache
I have a contract with Planet Fitness, Midrand branch, which I am going to cancel. I have tried to discuss with the manager the incredible noise being played over the sound system. The gym is not a year old and already most of the speakers in the gym is damaged due to the excessive noise caused by the heavy bass and the high volume music, which I doubt is gym music to start with. I have been going to gyms for more than 30 years and have never been at a gym were within 30min I have a headache from the music. Today I spoke to some of the staff and even they asked, begged, that I speak to management about it. I first reported this to the manager in February 2022. He promised that by April 2022 the problem will be sorted. HIs excuse was that head office decide on the music that is related to the area the gym is in and as this is a new gym they are still working on sorting out the music for the Midrand gym. Why it had to be so load and unpleasant he could not explain. The music volume, for a short while, was sifter but it is back up. Today within 10min I had to leave due to a headache that I did not have before going to the gym but due to the very heavy bass and volume was bestowed on me by Planet Fitness Midrand. I always thought you go to a gym to improve your health not the other way around. I also have to wonder how Discovery Health can support a gym like this when in the long run I will have a hearing problem, if not more, from visiting the gym.
