    I've recently started working out with a personal trainer & I so agree with this. I love the pain I feel for a couple days after, it's like the feeling of getting stornger every day. Everyone should read this! Thanks for putting it out there!

    I thought this was an interesting article about Planet Fitness Gyms:

    For what it's worth, I love working out at the local rec center. The variety of people there is awesome to me :).

    I just read that link....PIZZA day at the GYM!? Certain exercises prohibited!? :noway:

    Thanks for the heads up, I love LA Fitness and wouldn't leave, but I now have a clear reason to tell people why NOT to go to Planet Fitness.

    :noway: Wow.


    So if you aren't serious about getting in shape and just want to "feel" like you are getting healthy and "working out" Planet Fitness is for you.

    *rolleyes*

    That parody commercial is the funniest thing I've seen in years! Great stuff! Almost makes me want to move to PA just so I can join Iron Sport Gym. :laugh:

    What you said applies to group exercise, too. I teach group ex, currently bootcamp style/kickboxing cardio classes and many times I’m told: oh I can’t attend your class, I don’t feel comfortable in a group setting with people watching, etc. I applaud everyone who comes to my classes and I try to do all levels justice. I never judge, neither do my other participants, because they are BUSY working out. I hope the this judgment myth will come to an end and more new people go and get fit through group exercise! Don’t forget to ask you doc for permission prior to attending though.

    From one gym rat to another... you ROCK! Not only am I willing to help a newbie... I'm all about it. I LOVE working out. It's been part of my lifestyle for a long time and I don't mind at all sharing what I know. I admire anyone who has the courage to start from scratch and learn. We were all newbies at one time...

    I always wanted to know what the fit people are thinking. It's good to know they are probably thinking just like me.
    I swim with alot of elderly ladies. One is about 90 and has to be rolled into the pool off her walker. I am sure she doesn't give two hoots about any of us! She just gets in there and swims...slow as a turtle but she never stops. She's my inspiration every time I go to the gym.

    Just saw that you are at Ft. Benning, I have a friend who was there and now at Ft. Carson, CO. I'm from Atlanta and headed to Auburn in the fall for grad school which is near Ft. Benning! Best of luck to you!
