This is all the information you'll need before signing up
Location
This Planet Fitness is located on the northeast corner of Florida and San Jacinto. This is dab smack in the middle of Hemet. It's in the same shopping center as Little Caesar's, Subway,Authority Real Estate,and Dollar Tree.
The location is great because it's centrally located. Anyone living in Hemet won't have to drive far to get here. I live in San Jacinto and it only takes me about 10 minutes to get there from my house. Oh, and by the way, this location used to be a Thrity back in the day, late 80's. I used to come here as a kid with my dad and get ice cream!

Staff
This location has a great and courteous staff. Every time I've come here I'm greeted by someone with a smile on their face, unlike some other gyms I've been to. They take the time to help you out if you need it. They'll answer all your questions.
Equipment
Here is where you can start to see a difference. This Planet Fitness has a lot of cario machines. I mean a lot. I would say that there about 60 treadmills, 30 ellipticals, 20 bikes, and 4 stair machines. I personally like these treadmills over many other gyms. They have a lot of shock absorbtion. I do a lot of running so this is great! Your joints won't feel bad after you're done running a few miles. It's been my experience that if you run on a very hard surface that your joints will ache.
Planet Fitness doesn't have as many free weights as let's say L.A. Fitness, but they have enough to get the job done. One good thing about Planet Fitness is that they don't have a lot of huge body builders unlike other gyms. This can be great for beginners who may be intimidated by people like this.

1390 E. Florida Ave, Hemet CA 92544Monthly Price
Here is where Planet Fitness takes the cake. It's only $10 a month. You can't beat that with a stick. There is an initial sign up fee, which can vary depending on when you sign up.
There is also a one-time fee of around $80. They'll tell you when it will be billed. This was a surprise to me when I had to pay it. I thought it would be $10 with the start up fee and that's it. However, you're getting a deal if you think about it. You're getting a great gym for about 33¢ a day.
Cleanliness
Planet Fitness is extremely clean. The staff cleans the gym thoroughly every night. They vacuum all the nooks and crannies. They are really great about it.
In addition, all the people who go there wipe down the machines after every use. That's one good thing I like about that gym. I know I've been to other gyms where no one wipes down the machines after every use. That can get really gross after a while.
Drawbacks
The only complaint I have is that the parking lot is dirty. I would have to say that it's one of the dirties in Hemet. Not that it's Planet Fitness' fault. They should get together with the businesses in the area and request the landlord clean the parking lot more often.
