    :( I'm kind of sad that my gym is seen as such a crappy gym.

    Boooo!
    (oh well, that's what I should expect for $20 a month).


    It $10 a month in Florida.

    I'm in NY and there are 2 membership options

    $10 - can use only one gym
    $20 - can go to any PF, can bring a guest every time, unlimited use of massage chairs/tanning

    unlimited tanning, free guest AND pizza on that one monday for $20 a month? I'm going to sign up!

    $20 option typically requires a contract.

    Also, if you guys are Aetna members and are interested in joining Planet Fitness, they have discounts for new members available!

    http://www.pages02.net/aetnaenterprise/DiscountPrograms_ME_201111/

    Totally worth investigating to save some money. I'm already a PF member so I can't take advantage, but I hope someone here can!

    YES, so sorry, forgot to mention that. The $10 plan has no contract but the $20 one does.

    That sounds like a frickin awesome plan! lol I still think they might as well just add beer to the PF Monday pizza night though, then you get all of life's necessities in one location! Pizza, beer, and exercise! Woot!

    Then people would do it in the wrong order and start falling off the treadmills, tripping over free weights, and passing out on weight benches! Go Planet Fitness!

    Personally, I don't care what anyone else says about PF. They have the treadmills and arc trainers that I use, the weight machines, and a large enough area for stretching/crunches/etc. AND, it costs me 10 bucks a month. Suits my needs! To each their own says I.

    I love Planet Fitness, although I haven't been in awhile. Been doin' my own thing at home. My location doesn't offer any aerobics/dance or bodyjam classes or I would go more often. Don't mind the pizza or bagels....neither are my food of choice.

    Yeah, but then there would be more to keep me entertained while I'm running on the treadmill! hehe

    Planet Fitness.

    That's just about all you had to say.

    yEEEUp

    The gym does that on purpose to keep its members fat, so that they keep going there and renewing their memberships. That = money for the gym.

    But hey! Its judgment free though!. That is, unless your fit, want to be fit, are actually willing to put the effort into being fit, or are a bodybuilder (in which case your a lunk)

    Eh, my gym seems pretty cool. I'm pretty fit and so are quite a few of the other people that go there. And there are a decent number of really buff, muscular, weight-lifting types, so at least at my branch it seems pretty open to everyone. Which I really like!

    My Planet Fitness is the same way. (The fact that is is $10 a month and 2 miles away from my house is also a plus) :-)

    No kidding, 10 bucks a month and no contract was huge for me, lol.

    I did the $20 a month so I can go to multi gyms (2 near my house, 1 near my work)

    What I noticed about Planet Fitness VS my more expensive gym by work is:

    No towel service @ PF- BOOOO
    Showers/locker room cleaner with many more amenities @ pricier gym
    Trainers all look like they could be models in an athletic magazine @ pricier gym
    Much less crowded, older crowd @ pricier gym
    PF has free Papa Gino's pizza once a mo lol - and water/juice available - pricier gym just has water bubblers.
    PF is open later till 11pm M-thurs - other gym closes @ 10p

    If you are looking for an inexpensive gym you can frequent off peak hours and easily work out - PF is a great choice, I see no reason to put it down. I may keep my membership by work only because the PF near there is insanely busy @ lunchtime when I would use it and often you have to wait. I can't afford to wait at lunch because time is limited... or I may stop going at lunch all together, cancel that and just do PF @ night. The cleaner showers etc become a non issue near home since I wont be showering there, I'll just go home. A gym is a gym is a gym. If pizza offends, don't go the 1st Mon of the month :) If you think they are doing it to sabotage you and keep you fat, you are easily sabotaged. IDK why some people think PF is a less "serious" gym. It's all what you make it.

    I eat pizza. It's whole wheat and 55% less fat, but it's pizza.

    It isn't just Planet fitness. My Gym Club24 has started doing that and I have heard of other gyms doing it.
    Thankfully for some reason I am never there when it happens.
    They just think if they give people a treat once a month it will keep the people going back to the gym.

    Lol see, that's what I like about my GYm. They don;t send in the pizza, they send me an email if I haven't been around for a while. Asking if all is okay? If I am lacking maybe motivation and want to have a session with one of the PT's to get back onto the waggon ... lol

    I had half a bagel at PF today. I would have had another half, but they bagels were gone by the time I was done with my workout. :cry:

    Now that is how a gym should be run!

    They do it once a month. Not everyday. :laugh:

    I go to Planet Fitness. Its cheap and its open 24/7 which is a big deal to me because I work nights!

    (and I have never attended pizza night) :wink:
  • Don't get me wrong, I agree with most of you, however this is about lifestyle change. I belong to Planet Fitness & I do not attend pizza night (BTW they also do bagels and cream cheese 1 morning a month). It's a matter of choice & yes, you can have a slice of pizza, just not all the time. I was once told by a trainer/nutritionist that depriving yourself of something is not control... control is when you can have a little then walk away! Most the time I think about it long enough & I don't really want it anyway, but when I do, I have a little.... it goes a long way! Just my thought!
