Planet Fitness
Posted by LePetitFiskThat's a strange way to indulge. Why not offer something useful for the body? Ugh! Fitness starts with nutrition, and most people already know how to eat bad food. ?
I suppose that the pizza and bagels are a way to tell their members they don't have to deprive themselves? idfk.
I have been to a PF, and they are more than adequately equipped for the casual fitness enthusiast- they have circuit machines, benches and free weights. But if you're doing shit like power squats or clean & jerks, PF wont have appropriate equipment for you since they only have smith machines from what I have seen. This type of environment also put member who are easily intimidated by the roided meatheads bc their dumbbells stop at 100 lbs.
I won't be going near 100lbs, so that's okay with me. I also feel inspired by stronger people, so it's a shame they limit people. Meh
Do they have knowledgeable trainers because there is something on the site about "unlimited fitness trainers"?
Honey, you don't need a gym to work out.
Stop preaching shit you know nothing about, too.

I don't waste my money on useless gym memberships. I know better.
It's fine... and at $ 10, it's worth a try.
Hell, you can't even buy a large pizza for $ 10.

Posted by nanobyteYo! Thanks so much for this insight! That's hilarious! The pizza/bagel thing IS really comical.
I go to PF. My best friend is very fit, as well as a guy I used to see, and they both used to make fun of me for it lol. The gym has a very bad "reputation" as in... it is laughed at by health and fitness gurus. Probably in part to the pizza/bagels, the whole "judge free zone", the shameful lunk alarm, and known for people who have no idea what they were doing (you can find so many videos online and they are often shared through social media). These 2 guys went to Gold's Gym and both liked it and always tried to get me to go over there. I am not that invested in it to justify spending $ 25/month right now (poor AF student), but if I was, I would go to Gold's Gym.
I am not a gym rat, I normally have to force myself to work out so PF more than suffices. I like the elliptical and stair machines. Sometimes I just work out at home, or go to nature trails for some exercise.
I saw a man the other day working out at PF with sandals no socks, jeans and belt, and a button up shirt on..... idk dude..........
I just looked up that "lunk alarm" and that's SO bizarre. They actually set off a really loud alarm to tell people to get off machines? That must be stressful, hahaha.
I wonder how they enforce the "judge free zone."
LOL at working out in jeans and a belt. I CAN'T! 😆 *goes online to look for those videos*
Posted by EvoxxxscorpioI'm really into my deadlifting, pull ups, and weight training. I think that spending $ 10 for the month isn't THAT BAD of an investment. I mean, if I don't spend the $ 10 on a gym subscription, it'll probably go to eating out or something just as "pointless."
lol I canceled my gym membership just do kettlebell workouts
Posted by MontgomeryI think you're right. It's also just temporary until I can utilize my college campus's gym.
It's fine... and at $ 10, it's worth a try.

Posted by andswhoSupplements are one of the biggest (and most profitable) jokes played on the public.Posted by -elle-No wonderPosted by andswhoThey used to be like that but now there are a ton of franchises and one on every corner.
I am so shocked at how cheap gyms are in the states
Gold's here is like $ 300 a month
$ 25 gets you a no air con nasty ass gym
Even the gnc is cheap in murica
They add on about 2/3 the price here

Posted by EvoxxxscorpioHave you set up a weight gym of your own at your home?Posted by LillyPetalThe reason I canceled mine is not because of the monthly membership it's cause I wanna have a choice to lift when I want to without the need to go in a crowded gym.Posted by EvoxxxscorpioI'm really into my deadlifting, pull ups, and weight training.

I go to PF. It's a good gym, I can go to any location and utilize all of their amenities with the black card and it's open 24 hours. If you're not looking for anything crazy, I don't see why it's not a good choice .

Posted by EvoxxxscorpioI need to invest in some kettle bells and dumbbells of my own, but any money I have, I want to spend on yoga swag. I'm currently saving up for a Pranamat! I can only do one legged squats when I am stepping onto a higher surface. I can't wait till I can do those cool ass-to-grass extended leg squats.Posted by LillyPetalI hAve dumbbells and kettlebells I don't squat that heavy anymore.

Posted by InsertusernameYeah, the 24-hr availability is great. I have my own routine, so I shouldn't get caught up in the bells and whistles since this is a short-term solution.

Can you tell me anything about their trainers? Are they helpful and knowledgeable? Do they actually guide you through workouts? Or do they just give pointers on how to use the machines?

Posted by LillyPetalI feel like they're knowledgeable, even the people at the front desk are helpful and don't treat you like an inconvenience.

Others can do my workout with me? And I can join in with other groups workouts? If I'm not misunderstanding, that's neat.
Posted by LillyPetalDon't do Planet Fitness, it's ultimately not worth it. They literally shame people for being too fit. While their goal was to originally create a workout environment "without judgement", they will literally judge you if you're too fit, look too good, or aren't "average" enough. This is ESPECIALLY true if you want to do any lifts (i.e. dead lifts, squats, etc)
So, I have a major schedule change coming up in June, and I won't be able to utilize my campus gym. So, I'm thinking about joining a "24/7" fitness center for the sake of workout flexibility. I'd be able to make use of their weight room until I'm back on my regular schedule.
So, I am looking at Planet Fitness, but it's so odd to me that they are serving up pizza and bagels. That was the first thing I saw when I visited their page. That just makes no sense to me and I seem to have lost all respect for them. I'm suspicious that they are even a fitness center. I mean, really? Pizza and bagels??
Anyway, for $ 10 for the month of June, maybe that bizarre quirk can be ignored and they actually have a good weightlifting area.
Gold's Gym is another option, but they are pricier at $ 25 for the month.
Anyone here with a Planet Fitness (PF) subscription? Do you love it? Do you hate it? Do you actually take time out of your workout to down greasy and heavy foods that they offer you? Do tell!
(News report starts at 40 sec)
Also yes they host pizza and bagel parties. Guess why? To keep those memberships going. Any worthwhile gym wouldn't tempt its members with pizza and bagels.
I can recommend literally any other gym but that one. Gold's Gym may be a bit extreme for what you may want. 24-Hour Fitness or LA Fitness are good options. Equinox may be a bit out of price range.
Posted by LillyPetalHah I'm the same! I'm able to figure out the machines for the most part now.Posted by InsertusernameThat's pretty cool.

Yeah so you can basically have the trainer work with you one on one for an hour and set up a routine for you. Or you can join in on the class. So they'll have an ab workout for thirty minutes and they're supposed to walk you through it so you know what to do. I think only like 5 ppl max can sign up for it. It's cool because it's free, if you do the 20 $ membership.
