why do people seem to not like planet fitness?

K here's the deal about how I feel about PF

i dont care how you feel about PF

feel however you want, of course.

BUT don't tell me how hard I am not working or how my workout could not possibly be effective because you do not know me or my work ethic.

mmkthxbye

I hate pants

Me, too, but PF kicked me out.

As far as Planet Fitness goes (is that even what this thread is about anymore? :huh: ), it seems to me like it heavily (HEAVILY) depends on the location.

I've heard of a lot of locations sounding the lunk alarm and kicking people out on a routine basis. On the other hand, I've read a lot of good reviews from people who said that this never happened at their location. As far as I can tell, the Planet Fitness in my hometown sounds alright. I'd rather go to the YMCA, but I'd say close to 90% of the people I know that go to the gym have a membership at Planet Fitness. I haven't heard any complaints from them (save one, but that was about the trouble they gave her for cancelling her membership; it had nothing to do with the quality of her workouts).

It's a franchise, so every location will be a little different depending on the management.

Would it help anyone at all if I got nekkid? *hands on zipper*

Just say the word and

Why have I never seen this gif before? This gif describes my life PERFECTLY.

Whatever any of us feel about PF itself, imo no one should be disparaging the people who work out there just because they workout there.

If the complaint is that PF discourages achievement, it's important to realize that making people feel bad about their gym of choice is going to do the same thing.

"True they offer pizza and bagels but you don't have to have them"

Should they really be offering the temptation though?

I get that some people may need that carb kick after an intense workout or something but I dunno, maybe have some better options or something.

nothing wrong with pizza or bagels

Yup, nothing wrong with pizza or bagels. I used to take my skinny minny teenage son there Monday nights - he loved the unlimited pizza. It was from his favorite local pizza joint, too.

PF is not for serious or experienced bodybuilders. It's for beginners and people who are out of shape or overweight and are intimidated or discouraged by being surrounded by very fit, experienced people. It can be really scary to be morbidly obese and working out in a hardcore gym. People absolutely do judge you. They're beginner-friendly and anyone who is long-term serious about fitness will outgrow them, but everyone has to start somewhere and that's okay.

The Planet Fitness I use is alright. Overall, I like how it is open 24/7. I work out at late hours sometimes, so it's perfect in that respect. I thought the "lunk alarm" was just a gimmick, something for show, cuz at the one I go to, it never goes off. But the place is really, and I mean seriously, lacking in free weights. And it's pretty diverse, member-wise. I've seen people who are jacked as well as not-so-fit people, and people pretty much wear whatever they want. It could definitely improve on its free weight selection and put a sauna in there. I love those
