I've been a member here on and off since 2011. There were some really great years, followed by a steep decline just before the pandemic. Last year though, it seemed to have really turned a corner- clean, responsive staff, working machines.
Unfortunately, this did not last.
Over the summer the air conditioning was out for about a month. People would prop open the doors, especially at night, making it full of bugs. Especially in the evening folks would smoke in the open door below the TV that plays CNN. Staff were aware, but rarely did anything. It was unusable for anyone with asthma and so hot it was unsafe.
Well the air con finally got fixed. But now the sinks in the men's room have been broken for over a month. This is nasty. A lot of guys j just aren't washing their hands. There is a constant puddle on the floor, and it is very slippery. See the photo from today. I'm literally on a bike smelling pee. Guys vape on the bathroom as well, which is generally pretty gross. They hung a sign saying they are trying to buy new sinks a few weeks ago.
All the operational issues and general decline of primary building features such as ventilation and sinks give the impression that there are financial or management issues. I plan to speak with corporate and the health department, but folks about to sign up should be aware of what is occurring.
***Addendum: email you what exactly? Please just go fix the problem. Fix the sinks, keep on top of basic building maintenance. I don't see what emailing you will accomplish. Have you not been in your bathroom? Is this somehow a surprise?

East Greenbush Planet fitness is a great gym, outstanding customer service everyone’s friendly, very clean, good price I love my gym. Thank you Planet Fitness. I have membership almost 6 year’s but it’s so funny I am so busy working. I probably went to gym 6 months . But this year I promised with myself to be consistent to my gym.

It’s clean and the staff keep it tidy, but it’s constantly packed. If you go between 3pm and 10pm, getting on cables and and smith machine is a 10min wait, minimum. It’s a good gym but you’re going to be here for an extra 20 minutes over the course of a workout due to waiting. They suffer from the classic problem every planet falls victim to: far too many cardio machines and not nearly enough actual lifting equipment.

I choose the East Greenbush Planet Fitness location when I'm on my way to pick at Samadcotts Orchard in Kinderhook NY. I pass by the gym and a lite workout is the perfect way to get limber and energized. I have a Black Card and a friend sometimes joins me to share in the workout.
We are always greeted with genuine smiles and are left to work out without interruption.
The machines are well maintained and spaced appropriately. The cleaner spray bottles with paper towels are spaced throughout the facility and are always stocked.
I am glad that there is this kind of quality gym only minutes from my home.

Overall this is a great gym for the price. It’s convenient, everyone is very friendly, and there’s lots of equipment to choose from for your workout.
However, there are so many treadmills that are always out of service (some of them have not worked since I joined the gym 6+ months ago). I have reached out and spoken to staff about this and the treadmills are just constantly out of order. The treadmills are also awkwardly spaced out, with some of the only working treadmills touching each other- it’s too close and I don’t know why that is. Both of these issues can make it difficult to get your run in.
I also hope the gym becomes a little cleaner. The machines are all very dusty, and it’s unclear if they are cleaned beyond when users wipe them down after using the machine. The sinks in the locker room are also frustrating because the faucet is too small and does not reach the sink properly and water is constantly everywhere. Thankfully there are paper towels, cleaning supplies, and hand sanitizer everywhere to help.
Overall, good gym for the price, but please fix the treadmills!
