Planet Fitness

It's a "health club" not a gym, and my opinion of it is the same as my opinion of every other health club: I don't give a shit that it exists and I'd never pay money to spend time there.

It's a fine place to get a pump. You have to abide by their faggy rules which is annoyinh and you should find a proper gym at some point, but for the price it's not a bad deal.

they have this summer thing where they'd let ppl 15-18 come to the gym for like absolutely free.

the one i go to doesn't abide by normal rules its loud and its honestly decent ngl - but it is my like first real gym so idk

im 15 btw.

The value is there, but if you don't know what you're doing it's a complete waste of time, energy and effort.

The whole business model is explicitly designed on selling a very cheap membership to unfit/fat/cucky people, and they do very well at it. They actually *don't want* you there.

Planet Fitness is dependent on their low membership turnout; some fat fuck will sign up for a $10/month membership, """work out""" a few times, and because the membership price is so low, and "oh, I do want to start working out again someday, I shouldn't cancel," they get MASSIVE amounts of customers who continue paying month after month, without actually using the membership. If everyone who had a PF membership were to use it 3x a week, the wear on the equipment would make it unprofitable. (As an aside, canceling a PF membership is way too needlessly complicated. You have to send a fucking CERTIFIED LETTER to the branch that you signed up at, along with a ton of information. Some tiers of membership have a cancellation fee I can close a fucking bank account in 5 minutes over the phone, this is ridiculous)

PF WANTS to put off people who want to actually lift and use their membership. They made a conscious business decision to do so.

yeah lmfao those tootsie rolls are retarded.

what gym service brand would you recommend?
or should i go local?

I go to it because it’s cheap, it’s packed with “strong” dads and 100lb Asians that come once a week and think they’re getting jacked. Most people only use the ellipticals. It’s definitely not as fun as a normal gym, but I’m not paying $70+ a month for a slightly better experience

damn i didnt think about it like that but when i read it i could see where you're coming from

i, myself, got my membership for free because im 15 w/ this summer thing they having

it ends on Sept. 1st but by then I'll be 16 and able to sign up at a better gym.

But honestly ppl clown on PF a lot but I don't know.

It's decent

Enjoy your ban summerfag

>ellipticals
The one I go to is packed w/ different ppl desu. Young, old, fat, skinny, fit, white, blonde, black, moms, dads.

Most of them stay in cardio so /shrug.

hUh nigga?

Depends on your needs. Any gym can serve your needs if you know what they are.

If you're starting PF is fine, just learn form before anything else and start with the basics.
Again, if you're starting, any gym will work, but form form form is vital.

It will be fine dude. You'll grow out of it eventually but it's plenty for babbys first gym

It's really not as bad as the memes and their stupid signs. It's all just marketed BS to get fatties to pay their membership fees and never show up. I went there for a while and I never saw any of their stupid "rules" enforced. You see big guys there from time to time doing their thing but nobody actually cars. The only real downside is the lack of free barbell.

>free food is bad

I'm a freelance technical writer/arts journalist/proofreader/rental van driver so it's pretty much the only gym I can afford at this point.

I also am partial to treadmills, free weights, and calisthenics. My bases are covered.

I have a friend who shows up on Free Pizza Mondays or whatever and just grabs a whole box on the way out, which is always hilarious.

>mfw I went to planet fitness after year off and loss of 40lbs
>mfw I go in for a week and see more Jow Forums people there than I’ve ever seen on Jow Forums

It gets people exercising. They should make it all cardio and maybe install saunas
