    Going to Planet Fitness is like going to a gay bar where they're holding group therapy.

    You are an idiot. BTW, based on your avatar.....it's no wonder that you don't like the place, because you are certainly not welcome there.

    So, if you are looking at a place with ... "no judgement" atmosphere, Planet Fitness is a good place to look.

    I don't know whats more entertaining, the hypocritical "judgement free' crowd or the meat heads that feel compelled to flex thier muscles in these threads

    Any gym that gets you motivated and exercising is a good one!

    Any gym that provides candy at the front desk, has pizza parties, and supplies bagels, does not have fitness and your best interest at heart.

    It's not like they are forcing it down your throat and since when are bagels and pizza inherently bad? So many people preach "moderation"

    PF bans lifting heavy, grunting, dropping weights, and generally anything I go to the gym to do.

    If you're grunting the weight is probably too high, fyi...

    I just recently quit PF after going to them for 9 years. I now have a 19 month old and I need to find a place that has childcare while I workout. PF doesn't offer any of that, nor do they offer classes. As for the pizza and bagels and candy at the front desk, I think that is ridiculous. They do not have your fitness as their #1 priority. Sometimes their bathrooms are clean. The staff are horrible though. They act like they don't want to be there. But if this is your first gym and looking for mediocre equipment then PF is the place to go. I recently switched to Best FItness. I LOVE it there. They have classes and childcare and I am paying the same amount I was for PF.

    I think for a lot of people cost is an issue. My YMCA started at $40 for basic use. Not really comparable to $10
