I went there once. Not my crowd. I go to a powerlifting family owned gym now. They have a dog running around and it’s full of mutants. Even the women are stronger than most men. I love it. It’s my second home.

I had a membership to planet fitness a couple years back only cuz its was the only 24 hour gym near me. The local golds I go to closes at 11pm so late work nights forced me to go to planet once a week or so. Mine only had Smith machines and the db rack only went to 60lbs. It’s possible to get a good workout in if you go low weight high volume. But forget about trying to train back or legs with even a hint of seriousness. It’s just not possible. I will say tho it’s a great business model, a gym for ppl that want a gym membership but don’t actually want to work out or take it serious. Hell I wish I thought of the concept ha.

P.s. LARGEST cardio section of any gym I’ve ever been in.

I went into a Planet Fitness one time, that was enough for me. Not a bodybuilders gym by any means.

There’s one across the road from my work, absolute shit hole. They charge 10 bucks a month (not even worth that imo)

My gf works out there and is always wanting my to go w her on my days off. It's so clean, smells like flowers, we hold hands, skip to the machines, give each other butterfly kisses while finishing our frozen frappuccinos. Then I bring her to my gym, bitchslap her ass, point to the crooked water fountain, and tell her couples that workout together stay together. Got to have balance.

I keep my PF membership for traveling purposes only - just too convenient. Depending on where I go I can usually find a more appropriate gym; however, there are those occasions when I do miss the "staffed hours" at those locations for a day or week pass. PF is NOT the hellish place people make it out to be as long as you accept their mission of general "fitness" and pizza. I view them as nothing more than a large hotel gym. With that being said I was asked to leave a PF for doing a superset.

One of my memberships is at Planet Fitness. They have a lot of machines that keep me out of trouble with my rotator cuff and then I have another membership at a gym that should offer free tetanus shots to do my squats and leg work. The leg press will hold enough weight for someone not wanting to build legs at a huge level, but forget a big guy maxing out.

Funny thing I was dropping weights and clanging one day right below the "Lunk Alarm". It never went off. In fact I had never heard it go off. The manager with about 35 % body fat came in for his shift. It was unusually slow and quiet. I was on the tricep press. It maxes out at 250 and isn't a big deal. I was on my first set and realized the seat need to be adjusted and let ll my pressure off about a half an inch too soon to reset the seat. Well here came the "Lunk Alarm'. I turned around and gave him chuckle and didn't care if I got kicked out.

Honestly, the only thing that really pisses me off is the "No gallon jugs" I have been learning to push the fluids. Now I have to walk to refill my water and sometimes just don't refill, because it interrupts my workout.

I do have a few gallons of tootsie rolls though. they are on the counter for free. I grab a handful when I leave and put them in a 5 gallon bucket at my house. It just reminds me to stay dedicated or reminds me that I have stayed dedicated.

Planet bitchness as I call it. They usto have a alarm on the wall that would sound if someone grunts or drops weight. usto be a decent gym until one day I came in all the heavy weights were gone even the curl bars stopped at 60lbs. Around 2010 they started the whole no lunk thing. Some are pretty laid back and don’t enforce all their ridiculous rules but others really suck. I’m a member because I travel for work a lot and can work out at any of them and the tanning bed alone is worth it. However i have another gym I use while at home but they have two ab machines I really like so I stop in do abs and tan after my workout. Some are also very discriminatory against people who actually in good shape

Idk they wouldnt let me in even. some cunt they were

Just found out that the 2nd Tuesday of every month is Bagle and coffee day.

I keep a black card membership there just for the fact of travel. I’m usually at my home gym, but 5-6 times a month I have to use them. On a lighter note, I was there on a pizza night and seen a van pull up to the door. A older lady gets out the van walks in a grabs 2 whole pizzas and walks out. Nothing like overweight ppl do cardio for a hour, then go eat half a pizza.

Good for cardio and socializing but not working out.

They just cater for a different clientele don't they, more for females and blokes who are into their cardio and Hit sessions etc. Exactly the same difference as going into Golds Gym vs. a powerlifting gym. A lot of people wouldn't feel comfortable in the latter.

Planet fitness sucks... just my opinion..

If a good-looking girl invited me to go to planet fitness you bet your butt I go with her
