4. Pretty much act like a "bro" and your membership will be terminated.
Wait..... They try to forbid what type of water bottle you bring?!? That would be an immediate no, refuse to join.

Just tell them it doesn't fit your needs anymore, you don't owe them anything. Isn't planet fitness no contract? I had LA fitness and read horror stories about trying to quit but I just sent a letter saying I wanted it cancelled and boom, it was. Took them one extra month of dues to finish the process but in the end it was simple and no one came begging me to stay or for an explanation.7

There is definitely some little blurb about no water jugs. I guess I can understand that. But it is obviously not for everyone. For me I just don't do well in crowds, that is the main issues, I think.
Someone once said it is the Walmart of gyms, and I kind of agree!3 -

Wow. Just no.1 -
I quit Planet Fitness when I started working at a fitness center. I walked in, said "I'd like to cancel." They did ask why, and I said "because I can work out at work for free" and that was it. I signed a form and it was done. I did have a contract which I was at the end of. You might have to buy out your contract if you have one.
You can make something up or just say "it's too crowded, the parking sucks and the music sucks" and I doubt they'll take heroic measures to keep you.10 -
I used to work at PF. If you've signed a contract for a 10$ or Black Card membership, you'll have to either pay your buyout fee ($58 plus tax in my area) or wait until you've completed your year. (PF haters: it's clearly stated in the registration paperwork.) You can either fill out a cancellation form at the front desk or mail a letter via certified mail stating you wish to cancel. You cannot cancel if you have a balance. You really don't have to give any reason, if they ask, you can either be honest about your reasons or just tell them you don't use it enough, simple as that. If you give a week's notice or more before your next monthly payment, you shouldn't have to pay that extra month. However, here, fees are withdrawn the 17th of every month, so you'd have to pay for May, but you'd still have access to the gym until the 16th of June. Hope that helps!

A lot of it does indeed depend on your membership type. When they put in the new on by us, we signed up before they opened via the website for the No $ down, $10/month no commitment plan.
We went in on the first day they were supposed to be open but they weren't ready and we somehow lost our motivation and never actually went in and used the services. I let it drag on and just never cancelled for nearly 2 years in part because I told myself I was GONNA go and I just didn't feel like going in and dealing with the hassle of cancelling the memberships.
Eventually I did decide to go in and it was no big deal. I told them I wanted to cancel our memberships and they said "OK. I am sorry to hear that." I filled out a small slip acknowledging I was cancelling the memberships and they stopped taking money out the following month. Easy as pie.
If you have one of the larger plans, like the $20 PF Black plan, it is a bit tougher because you sign a contract for the 1 or 2 year plan as I recall. Cancelling that means a buyout fee.

I personally wouldn't, however, I would not like my gym to impose such a ridiculous rule. I should be able to bring any kind of water bottle (that is safe/not glass) to the gym that I choose.5 -
Talk to the person who signed you and be honest with them.0

A few guys do it where I work. I don't really get it. They come in with a full or half-full jug and when they leave, there's not much gone from it. Maybe they're doing the "gallon a day" thing and that's how they like to carry water. I don't really care. It's water. Why anyone would say you can't have a certain amount of water is beyond me. "Because it's weird" isn't a good reason. Members can get an unlimited supply of refrigerated filtered water out of the fountain, so what's a gallon of their own?1 -

I see your point. I guess out of all the reasons I've heard not to join Pf, this would rank very low. I would never even think of it. 0 -
Go to the front desk and tell them you want to cancel. They will give you a form to fill out. If it's before the 10th of the month, you won't pay next month, if it's after, you will but then not after that. At least that was how it was when I cancelled two PF's before. I moved a few times so I got used to it. But I have also rejoined the one near me. It's a nice gym but I don;t go until after 7PM or so as they are too busy before that and I hate crowds.1

I have one that I carry at work. It's a good way to regulate how much water I've had for the day, and don't have to get up to get refills if I don't want to.
Either way what PF is doing with that rule is perpetuating the stereotype of only moron bodybuilders (lunks...morons) carry water jugs around.7 -

Because people can trip over them - Same for the idiots that don't use lockers and carry around their gym bags.1
