    What I know of the place, it is a joke. Over 60% of the US population is overweight and here's a "Fitness" gym that glorifies having pizza night yet scurtinizes weightlifting and those who do so.

    I wouldn't workout there if they paid me to.

    That's why I use 24 Hour Fitness. weights, gym equipment, basketball court, free classes, cardio equipment, pool, sauna, jacuzzi, and steam room. the price is right to. with a Costco membership you can get 2 years for 349.99 that breaks down to 14.58 a month.

    I totally forgot about their Pizza nights and Bagel mornings. Lame.

    Where is your PF at? I used to work at the one here in Louisville and I still go there in the mornings for extra cardio sessions. We don't have those rules and we still have free weights.

    Planet Fitness is a place for those who want to pretend they're getting in shape and say they "workout" but don't actually want to put forth any effort.

    Seriously?

    whatever you think of the gym , fine, but you dont need to insult ME

    Now, I don't feel the same anymore. It's definitely full of judgment for ANYONE who's at least slightly knowledgeable about fitness and it's certainly no place for a beginner to actually learn anything, it seems. The trainers I've seen don't even train anyone.


    This reminds me of the new* PF commercial I saw last night. It had two huge guys at PF asking if they needed any trainers. Well, they were obviously the stereotypical (steroid?) muscle-heads. And the guy at PF just looked at them weird, and showed them the "door." My thought was, what - PF doesn't have/want people there that know what they're doing, to help the noobs? OK - stay as far away from PF as possible. Yeah - I get it, they just don't want people to think that that's the only "look" you'll gain at PF, or some such nonsense.

    My gym - used to be a World Gym, now it's called Summit Fitness - discourages overly loud grunting and dropping of weights, but they realize that sometimes, it happens. As long as you're wearing clothes, it doesn't seem to matter too much what you wear. I don't believe there's a "true" dress code, even though I'm sure you'd be asked to change if you wore something with a bunch of swears or some other vulgarity.


    * I don't know if the commercial was actually "new" - but I don't believe I'd ever seen it before - but it was new to me.


    ETA: OK, I guess the commercial is about a year old or so... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPcKxcZ18uc

    Riiiight....*eye roll*

    The PF's in my area don't have these rules....and I have 4 different ones within a 10 mile radius....but oh well. Don't like it, go somewhere else. Or complain to your manager/corporate...those aren't corporate rules..those are rules brought forth by the people running that specific location.

    The one I go to has free weights and I wore a sleeveless shirt the other day...that's weird. I do think the whole pizza things is stupid. I only go there for the cardio machines because it's $10 a month and I don't have one at home.

    Like I said, I used to work there. If you have a problem I would take it up with corporate because those aren't corporate rules.
