PF at the Nittany Mall is my favorite gym I've ever been to. The staff are super friendly, I always enjoy chatting with them at the desk. I love the amenities–the hydromassage beds and massage chairs are wonderful, as are the tanning beds. The exercise machines are plentiful and I like the overall layout. I much prefer this location to the one downtown in every way. I see myself staying a Black Card member for years to come!

Comment added on 6/29/ 2025 :
After 2 years of using this facility twice a week, I have found a serious negative. When the temperature and humidity outdoors is high, the gym is no longer a comfortable place to workout. I know they would have to turn up the air conditioner but I don't care. That's the cost of doing business. I don't appreciate that I have to stop halfway through my workout and go back home (20 miles). I've complained to no avail. They do need to deal with this.

I'm 77 y.o. and Planet Fitness has everything I need to stay healthy and flexible. I can go at my own speed. The hydro beds and tanning booths are great extras that make you just feel good. I barely ever have to wait to use any piece of equipment which helps me do my routine smoothly. The staff is there for any help I may need. They are on the ball with keeping everything disinfected and working properly. It's a very welcoming place that makes me feel comfortable and unjudged.

I like PF, but that place is almost always packed. Peak times seem to be from 6am to 10am and 3pm to around 8pm. The staff are kind of friendly but definitely have favorite customers that tend to get away with more than the average guest. Overall, I'd recommend this gym for its low membership price and their newer equipment.

I am really enjoying Planet Fitness State College/Nittany Mall. Their trainer Sammi Turano has been working with me twice a week. She helped me set up a personalized fitness program, showed me how to use the equipment, and has been instructing me each visit on how to get the best workout possible. She is great! I have lost over 20 pounds, and my stamina has greatly improved.

I’ve been a member of this club for several years now and it’s a great club. Plenty of space, never too crowded and there are always plenty of cardio machines of all types available. From being a member of many different clubs over the years, this is usually the thing that other clubs never have enough of. This Planet Fitness has plenty, and i’ve never waited to use a machine.. The only thing that they could probably use more of are Smith Rack machines. I think our gym has 5 or 6 and they always seem to be in use/full, at least on weekend mornings when I’m typically there. The staff is great, always pleasant, available, and helpful. Keep up the good work gals/guys. The only other thing that isn’t really a complaint is that I’ve been to other P.F. clubs and they seem to do a better job of upgrading their equipment and fitness areas to the newer machines or programs. That said, the machines at my club all seem to work and do what they’re supposed too so maybe they’re just waiting for our equipment to be fully depreciated before replacing it. LOL.

Only use if you have no other option or need a cheap shower slash tanning session. Rules are made for people who don’t workout in an attempt to make people not come. They pair this with the cheap cost to have as many dormant memberships as possible. Total money grab. Has its use, and that’s not for serious long term lifters.

Good place to work out, have been visiting for more than a year as well as other PF locations in PA. Adv: a lot of machines for safe workout, clean (really), nice massage equipment (only for black card), 360 equipment for calisthenics, nice personnel
Disadv: no free barbell (only fixed) which is the common issue for all PF, no machine for deadlifts (you would have to either use dumbbell or uncomfortable smith machine for this exercise), no lying leg curl machine (seated one is extremely uncomfortable for me, may be good for others), no standing squat machine (same problem as deadlift, there are seated option but usually I see people using smith machine with a fixed position, which results in unnatural back angles)
Also there is a hidden scam for black card members, you can buy drinks for 50% off, however, it applies only to those located on one side of the fridge, not the other (where all protein shakes are)
I originally wanted to give 4, but as I wrote I realized that is’s a solid 3. You won’t find another such low cost, good quality place

This is my go-to gym in State College! To be honest, I've never been a fan of Planet Fitness. The ones I've been to in New York and Florida, I've never had the experience I wanted. Usually, it's not as clean as I like my gym spaces to be, amongst other things.

As an avid recreational bodybuilder, I have very, very specific gym needs, the most important being a very clean space. That's what attracted me the most to this PF in downtown State College. As a fairly new facility, it is in excellent condition and is very well maintained. With State College being a college town, everywhere is usually ridden with students, which also is not one of my favorite things (although I am a student myself, haha). Unlike many of the other facilities, there is space to breathe and be in flow with my training without having to be constantly rushed and waiting to access equipment.

I hate that there are no barbells and really heavy dumbbells, but the diversity of equipment meets most of my needs. When I need to do free heavy lifts (like squats, deadlifts, and benchpress), I'd usually just use another facility, probably once a week. But the joy of training I've felt at PF here is unmatched at any of the other gym facilities I've been to in State College.

Everything you need for a good workout. Would I like heavier fitness balls and kettlebells? Yes. But there is enough equipment to work hard.

Recently found the magic in PF 360. Shhh, don't tell anyone. I use it as part of my tri training and it is fantastic. So good I bring an Olympic athlete with me periodically as a guest so he can work on explosive moves on the 360. Nothing else in town like it to rock a 45 minute explosive workout.

Staff have gotten much friendlier in the last 6 months and that is appreciated.

If you had to add one thing I'd love a lap pool.

While I lived in State College, I loved this planet fitness. Unfortunately, after graduation, I moved away and don't need this membership anymore. I didn't have the chance to cancel my membership while I was there, so I tried to do it over the phone. When I called and asked to cancel, they said I had to come in person (which wasn't an option) or write a letter? So, I wrote a letter. I have still been charged the past several months anyway. It's been very inconvenient and I'm very disappointed. Once I can figure out how to fix this, I will never be using a planet fitness again. Therefore, be careful joining because you can get stuck with no help.

Update: I just learned that I could transfer my membership to another planet fitness and cancel it that way. I wish the person on the phone would have mentioned that MONTHS ago. Such a waste of money.

Re Nittany Mall branch (State College PA):
I've been a member here for about 10 years apart from medical leaves, and it's made a major contribution to my health and overall life (I include the very supportive and friendly staff.)

I only greatly regret the recently reduced hours (Covid contagion owing to greater crowding is a factor) and the excessively loud "music". Note, the Fraser St. branch music is much more tolerable.
My Apple Watch registers decibels and indicates a sound level bordering on being capable of damaging hearing.
Thank you.

Went to this location for the past 3 years. It was Awesome until new management, Chris, took over. It is marketed as a “24 hour gym” and its hours are anything but. I drove 45 minutes to the gym this morning, and they were closed at 6 am. Also, went a day over the weekend at 8 am and they were closed and it was NEVER posted on the website. The gym is dirty while the staff sit on their phones. Literally the same hairball has been in the shower for at least 4 days. You can see the staff bouncing a bouncy ball back and forth and warming up their breakfast while the gym is dirty. I’ve told management and never a response. This gym needs a manager who understands/appreciates fitness. It feels like a disorganized Girl Scout meeting and not a gym.

My experience at Planet fitness:
Let's start with the good thing: cheap, Equipment variety not bad, clean,,, some staff members are friendly.
Bad things:
Some staff members were racist, Dec. 2021 I was doing deadlift on Smith machine and I had my gym bag with as it has gym equipment belongs to me ( I am freelance Personal trainer) anyway one of the staff members approached to me and asked me to move my gym bag back to my car, and I asked why he told me it's a policy,,,,I looked around and I told him I'm not the only one have a bag on the floor,,, then he told me exactly like this "look some of people working not feeling comfortable that you have a bag with you and he's afraid that you hiding a weapon inside of it" I told him what?!! I can open my bag and you can check it out,,,, he said look you either remove it or I'll call the manager,,,, As a person like me who recently moved to US and LOVE to workout decided it's just better to avoid a conflict and just remove it,,,,,, Second thing Nov. 2022 I was doing jump rope and then one of staff member came to me and told me you're not allowed to do jump rope,,,,, again I just stopped and then canceled my membership. Lastly PF in general cheat in their machines to make you feel you're lifiting more e.g. Smith machine. Dumbbells heaviest 70lb which is not heavy for some exercises at all.

This is the best Planet Fitness location I've been to! I've only been to 4 total, but this one is definitely much better than the others. The dumbbells here go up to 75, which is SO nice. A complete deal breaker. Of course they don't have free barbells, but the dumbbells make up for it. They have virtually everything else you could want aside from things that involve a free barbell. There are 4 Smith machines, which is a decent number, and there is usually at least one free, although sometimes during the busier times (around 5pm) it can be hard to get one. Same with the cable machines. But all in all they have tons of equipment and the gym is very clean!

Side note for anyone thinking about joining: there is no entrance inside the mall—you have to enter from the exterior of the building.

The gym is clean and well-ventilated with equipment in good condition. The showers and bathroom/locker room are also clean and comfortable. Everyone (staff) there is very nice, and although they do get to know people who come in regularly, they have never asked why I was gone so long on the occasions I took a couple months off. That makes it much easier to be comfortable coming back when I can talk myself into it.
