Planet Fitness..?

I was thinking bout getting a membership to PF but just curious if anyone here has one and how they like it..? I need the basics.. nothing fancy and its cheap so PF sounds good but just want to hear your opinions on the gym. TIA :happy:

I have a Planet Fitness membership. I love it. They seem to have pretty nice equipment and locker room. I go the the gym 3-4 times a week and work out at home sometimes too. I figure at $10/month, I'm definitely getting my money's worth.

I'm sure that other people have had varying experiences...it probably depends a lot on the people who work there and the other gym members that will determine your experience. At the PF that I go to, the staff is very helpful and so far other members have been respectful. No issues!

I have belonged to 2 and been to a third. The first one I belonged to I absolutely loved! Rows and rows of cardio equipment ( bikes, ellipticals and treadmills. Two huge ceiling fans to help cool and circulate the air. Plenty of weight equipment with pictures and directions that made it very easy to follow. Free weights and a circuit area. For 20 a month you can use the tanning booths get Gatorade for$ 1.00 and bring a guest for free. The same guest can come everyday with you. I went 5-6 days a week.

The second one I belonged to was absolutely horrible! I only went two times. So now I go as a guest at a third one. Its not as nice as the first one but I enjoy going and that's what's really important.

I love planet fitness. BUT if you are into serious heavy weight lifting or fitness classes, then it's not the place for you. But for $10 a month, they have clean locker rooms, great cardio and weight machines. The one I go to also has tanning and massage chairs. You just need to pay for the black card ($20/month).

I have been a member for about 6 months and love it. There is one close to work and close to home, both are very nice. With a black card I can go to either. Actually out of all of the gyms I have been to PF has been the best.

Another PF fan here, but it does matter what the people are like. I have a black card ($20/mo) So I can go to any PF location. I have 3 in the area, one is a lot smaller than my usual location, and the other one is ALWAYS jam packed.

I love it. There is a nice area with a foam type flooring for stretching as well as two "stretching cages" that look like a jungle gym that I love to use. The purple and yellow machines were so easy to use whn I first joined thanks to the pictures and directions. I finally moved onto the free motion machines and love those now too!

Then there is the 30 minute workout area that is great when short on time! Every muscle group is covered, and you rotate between the machines and a step (with a bar to grab if you have crappy balance.) I always leave the 30 min. workout area soaked in sweat.

And the cardio equipment is plentiful, so many treadmills, elipticals, bikes, and stairmasters. Only complaint: The only have one rowing machine.

For the first year, I went as a guest 4x a week with a friend. Now I go anywhere from 4-7x a week and sometimes bring my skinny minny husband who is underweight. LOL!
