Planet Fitness SAndton gate

I am writing to formally raise my frustration regarding my experience at Planet Fitness Sandton Gate. Today, I arrived at the gym only to find—yet again—that there was no available parking. As a result, I was forced to turn around and go home without being able to train. I was not alone in this situation; several other members were also leaving after being unable to find parking. What is particularly disappointing is the complete lack of communication around this issue. No notice was sent to members, and no alternative arrangements have been made—such as designated parking, overflow options, or access to another nearby gym. This is unacceptable for a facility positioned as a “Signature” gym.

In addition to the parking challenges, the overall management and maintenance of the gym are concerning:

Multiple treadmills are consistently out of order Personal trainers appear to monopolise equipment, even when members are using it Stairways are being used for training, making access difficult—especially for older members The sauna, when operational, has visible maintenance issues, including protruding nails

These issues collectively create an environment that is not only frustrating but also potentially unsafe.

If these problems persist, I will have no choice but to reconsider my membership. It is unreasonable to continue paying for a facility that is poorly managed and, at times, inaccessible. I urge management to address these concerns urgently or provide suitable alternatives for affected members.
