It’s no news Planet Fitness offers you a great judgment-free gym environment with the right variety of equipment. It helps you achieve your fitness goals at the most affordable cost in the fitness industry with its over 2,100 locations in the US and a couple of other countries.
Affordability has been a strong selling point for the franchise to the point of having about the largest network of gyms. Among its hundreds of locations in the US is its South Gate Planet Fitness Club.
We’ll take a look at some features of three clubs that bear the south gate tag. These are the South Gate California, Wisconsin, and South Gate Michigan clubs.
South Gate, California.
Located at 8724 Garfield Avenue, South Gate, CA 90280, it’s a beautiful piece of architecture. Opposite it is a similar building which is the business premises of Denim Exchange and adjacent to it is the Hapik fun climbing park.
The gym is usually open 24 hours but not on holidays.

Membership plans and pricing.
Just like in many other planet fitness clubs, it offers you 3 membership plans:
- The classic or Basic plan,
- No commitment plan,
- Planet Fitness black card membership.
The PF black card membership is the ultimate, the priciest, and where all the perks are, whereas the classic membership is the cheapest but with limited access. In terms of membership benefits, there is a long list of advantages the PF black card members have over members on a basic plan.
This justifies the higher fee you pay for being a black card member as shown in the table below. There used to be no start-up fees for black card membership as of last year but that has now changed to just a dollar.
Features | No commitment plan | Classic plan | PF black card plan |
---|---|---|---|
Startup fees | $39 | $29 | $1 |
Monthly fees | $15 | $10 | $24.99 |
Annual fees | $49 | $49 | $49 |
Duration of Commitment | None | 12 months | None |
Billing of annual fees | On the 1st of any month within 60 days from the sign-up date. | On the 1st of any month within 60 days from the sign-up date. | On the 1st of any month within 60 days from the sign-up date. |
From the table above, you’ll notice no matter your membership plan you’ll be paying equal annual fees with everyone else. This is justifiable because every member accesses and makes use of the training equipment equally. Black cardholders may be the only members getting all the perks but they also pay much more than everyone else on monthly fees.
There is a 12-month commitment for the classic membership plan. As a No-commitment member, you’ll be paying more on startup and monthly fees than those on classic membership. Planet Fitness, in their wisdom, believes it’s right for black cardholders to pay no startup fee.
No matter your plan, you’ll be billed for the annual gym maintenance fee after the appropriate time like everyone else.

Membership plans and pricing.
At Planet Fitness South Gate, Milwaukee, there is no separate Non-commitment membership plan. That isn’t necessary since the available plans, the classic and black card membership plans, are both no-commitment plans.

The monthly fee for the classic plan used to be $10 but is now $12.99. You pay $24.99 monthly for a black card membership which represents almost double the monthly charges for the classic membership plan.
The annual gym maintenance fees are the same for both plans as expected. However, it used to be $39 but is now $49.
You should be fine with classic membership if you don’t care for the numerous advantages black card membership offers and won’t need other planet fitness facilities outside your locality.

You’ll notice except for the last 3 holidays on the table (Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year), there is a regular pattern in their closing and opening hours.
On the day that marks the beginning of the first 3 holidays, they close at 10 p.m., run a 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. service the next day, and reopen for normal operating hours by 5 a.m. on the 3rd day. What makes Thanksgiving Day different from the first 3 holidays is that they close at noon on Thanksgiving Thursday rather than 2 p.m.
Best times to work out.
Their busiest periods of the week used to be Tuesday mornings to Wednesday evenings but now the club is almost busy throughout the week with Monday to Thursday being the busiest days. Friday to Sunday are not as busy as other days.
The gym presents a great opportunity to meet up and work out with other members but if you prefer a slightly less busy gym then you may have to go on the weekends.
Jobs or careers.
Their jobs are advertised through a job service but there are currently no job openings. You may have to keep an eye on their website to know when there are.
