Do You Like Planet Fitness?
« on: January 08, 2020, 04:12:30 pm »
I have really been enjoying my membership.  I got it for the new year.  $99 for the whole year!  I have mostly been just using the treadmill but hope to get into weights.

I got a couple of friends that go there. For some reason the name Planet Fitness always makes me stop and think for a minute. I always thought the name was old.

it doesn't seem like a place i would ever try.too big
a few friends have tried and not liked it  too big and not enough instruction to help meet their fitness goals :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

Nawww there is little I could do there due to my disabilities but there is an LA fitness relatively near me and they have a heated pool now there I would go.

My daughter has gone there a few time with friends and said that it has generally been crowded, people seem more interested in picking up dates than weights, and cleanliness was an issue...staff/patrons do not wipe down the workout equipment when they are done, bathrooms were a mess, and people do not re-rack their weights. Our family has a membership at a tennis club that costs thirty five dollars for all four of us because my wife will work at the tennis desk for three hours a month. We have access to six different clubs, free tennis, personal training, no crowds, a housekeeping staff, cafeteria with good health food, and three, mineral/salt water, swimming pools at the clube that we frequent (about eight miles from our home).

I have enjoyed it. Signed up back in November. Outside of taking part in one training session as moral support for/with my wife, I have only used their treadmills, but it has helped me to reach my daily step goals many times.


Even though they have many machines and a lot of weights, I still prefer the privacy of my basement weight benches where I don't have to worry about whether the person before my wiped them down or remember to do it myself.  I also like the freedom of listening to my own music or podcast without headphones when I do weight training at home.


That said, my wife has benefitted a lot by joining PF (other than this morning when she backed our car into a pickup truck on the way out and did a good amount of rear and back fender damage... NOT A SCRATCH on the oversized pickup that was extended far beyond the rest of the line of cars).

I have never used Planet Fitness, but I know people who personally have. Most of them have told me that the membership is overpriced, LOL.

$10 a month for unlimited use of all the equipment - essentially 24/7 is pretty reasonable IMO.

I've never been a member but I've recently gained some extra pounds so for $10 a month for unlimited use of all the equipment it's something I might look into!
