Another difference: CrossFit is highly effective. Planet Fitness? Not so much.

"But I lost X number of pounds at Planet Fitness!" some people say. Good for them. The reality, however, is that when you're just starting out, just about any form of exercise will help you lose fat. People would generally be better of going someplace that provides more effective equipment and does not prohibit the more effective exercises.

Or going some place that they can afford. Not everyone can afford an expensive gym.

High prices and limited hours of operation are exclusive.

Why is this all or nothing when it comes to the defense of PF? Why is it every gym besides PF is considered an "expensive gym" or "high priced"?

Limited hours of operation is "exclusive"? You're trying way too hard.

DYEMFP?

Ya.....par for the MFP course.

People who have succeeded in something I'm trying to accomplish are the worst.



The literal worst.

Planet Fitness created an entire business around those people. Nothing like viewing other's success as your own failure and resenting them for your own internal monologue.

I've always wondered if Planet Fitness revokes your membership if you get in shape? Although, given the mindset of their customers, it's probably never come up.

The planet fitness I go to has a lot of people there who are in great shape. They're still going.

It was a joke. A really funny one actually because Planet Fitness makes their money off the people who don't show up and that's the audience they target. Hence why they don't allow "lunk heads" yet claim to be non-judgmental. Apparently calling someone a lunk head isn't judgmental.

Here's the deal. You can try to put a price on your health all you want to by calling gyms "expensive" but the fact of the matter is I see tons of people spending money on cars they don't need (or cars with luxuries they don't need), new clothes, crap for their kids that they don't need, etc. Your health is worth it's weight in gold and the money you spend on being fit and active, the less you're going to spend on medical expenses. I've done the cheap gym membership at $30 a month and it wasn't a good fit for me. PF offer a $10 a month membership, but there's no way I'd go run on a treadmill for an hour 4-5 times a week and use their excuse for weight equipment. Now I pay $99 a month and it's the best $99 a month I've ever spent. I eat better, I sleep better, I'm losing weight, my triglycerides are down. I'd rather pay $99 a month to that than to my doctor's office. They have enough unhealthy patients to see.
