My initial reaction: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Then I read the article, and it has some good points.
Planet Fitness is to fitness like McDonald's is to nutrition: Cheap and quick.
The so-called 'judgement free' zone, titled that right after they talk about how judgmental the company is to "meat heads".
At the end is my favourite: The CEO of Planet Fitness obviously lifts heavy, so where does he workout? Not at Planet Fitness. In his basement.

Are they going to judge, but judge politely?
Instead of a lunk alarm, it will be recorded audio of someone pointedly clearing their throat in annoyance?0 -

I go to Planet Fitness, Gold's Gym and a local community center. Say what you want about Planet Fitness, but no one ever judges me there. There are some pretty heavy lifters at PF, and Gold's has a lot of the same policies that PF does (dropping weights, etc). Last night I went to Gold's and I got disrespect from patrons and a couple of workers. People at PF are much more encouraging. Every gym is what you make it. PF has weight machines, treadmills and stretching cages, so I don't really worry about the rest. Gold's has those things, but I feel like if you aren't at their level, they see you as an annoyance. I don't let it slow me down. In fact, it pushes me harder.0

I would join a PF as a secondary gym just for the monthly buffet.0

"What do you say we don't drop the weights anymore, eh? Only if it isn't a bother though!"0

I go to a Plant Fitness in Michigan, and I really like it. I have always been intimidated by heavy lifters at other gyms, and since I am lifting again, it'll be nice to start out where people are at my level, instead of people that use my bodyweight as a warm up.
But it's not for everyone. If you are a heavy lifter, of course you aren't going to like it. And when I get to that level, I will probably go to a different gym; because they don't really cater to everyone. Just people that are trying to work out in a more comfortable, less competitive atmosphere.
WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?!

I used to go to PF. Never had a problem even though I thought the "Pizza Monday" thing was a bit odd. *shrug* Honestly, I gave a rats *kitten* about where I worked out as long as a the place was clean, the machines were in good condition, and there was a good variety of equipment and free weights. My goals changed so I switched gyms (I was looking for one with a pool).
Each gym is a bit different and I think you're always going to find positives and negatives with each place. I'm not sure about gym membership prices in Canada and the prevalence of gyms or fitness centers, but if it's providing an inexpensive place for people to get their inner swolger on, then go for it. Hopefully people will benefit.0 -

Haha! This.0 -
I think people tend to blow the pizza thing out of proportion. It's one day each month. How is that any different than the Y selling candy bars or a bake sale at the check-in desk or having soda in the vending machines?
If you want it, eat it. If you don't, then pass it by.0 -
Have you ever been into a planet fitness? It's not a bad gym. My local planet fitness is filled with heavy lifters. It's huge and at the right time you can go in and find some massive men and women lifting weights. The difference is they aren't making it a point to show off. They are actually there to work out.
It is cheap. Where as most gyms (at least where I live) are $40-$50 a month for something the size of my office with far less things to use. They aren't judgemental. They are very nice to everyone and even walk around and help people who are lifting.0 -

Wow.....just wow.
They aren't judgemental....Lulz. Have you seen their business model?
If PF's business model wasn't to caricaturize the fitness enthusiast and capitalize on the stigma that the gym is full of "Judgment" (when it's not) by selling their "judgment free zone" (when it's not...oh the irony) they would catch far less flack on boards such as these, and really just be another 24/7. You know what they say about publicity though, right? They're getting their publicity and that's what they want.0 -
i'd go there in a heartbeat. i've been to several gyms in my time, and i've discovered i don't particularly care what the atmosphere is, i go there and work out. sure a few muscle bound jerks look at me funny, cause i'm morbidly obese, but i just do my wimpy little workout and then they either smile or ignore me and get back to their thing. i'm at anytime fitness right now, love it, but i'd try anything if the price was right and the available equipment suited my needs.0

Mostly just the irony.

My biggest beef with PF isn't that it's a gym, it's not that it has a judgemental 'judgement free' zone. It's not that they offer free pizza one a week or month. It's not the lunk alarm or that there are no free weights. It's not that the CEO doesn't use his own gyms and works out in his basement.
My beef with PF is that they advertise themselves as a gym for people to get healthy when really, that's the opposite from their real goal. Their real goal is to lure people who don't go to the gym to give them $10/month, every month. There is one, count it: ONE Planet Fitness in Canada so far that opened not long ago. It already has 6000 members. That's $60k in their pocket EVERY MONTH. I'm willing to bet most of those people will only go once or twice, yet they will never cancel their membership.
Planet Fitness isn't in the business to make you healthy. They're in it for the money.
Which, frankly, is brilliant.0 -
All of the big gym's only goals are to make money. To find one not in it only for the money you'd have to find a small local gym.0

I'm not trying to stir anything up. HONESTLY! I am just making an observation. But isn't the goal for every gym to make as much as they can? Whether to expand their business or better the locations that they already have? No gym has enough space for all of their members, so that points to other gyms making money on their clients that don't go.
From what I can tell there is no statistical data that shows that Planet Fitness has more non-attending members than that of, for example, Gold's Gym. Granted, I haven't exactly done hard research.
But I would be more than happy to be proven wrong if that is the case. I don't want to throw out false information.0 -

I wasn't claiming that no gym out there has members who never go to the gym, but 99% of the gyms out there don't have a $10 membership fee. $50/month out of your pocket is a lot more noticeable when you don't use it than $10/month is.
Committing to joining a gym for $50+/month is quite an investment for many people. 90% of the population wouldn't even consider doing such a thing. they have better things to spend their money on.
But offer them $10? That's as much as a meal from McDonald's! Suddenly, you have a place that 90% would consider joining, even though they will likely never use it.
Planet Fitness will barely make any money off of each membership, but since they have such a gigantic audience they can gather money from, boom. Sudden massive profits from people who will rarely make use of their services, and will likely not cancel their subscription.0 -
Its a business. They need to make money to stay open and pay overhead and grow. Considering the low price for membership I would join in a heartbeat if they had one by my house. I cant afford the $50 plus per month gyms in my neighborhood and my basement isn't conducive considering I get "mom, mom, mom" every 5 minutes.0

Well then I suppose we can only hope that those who don't go will at least spend $10 less a month at McDonald's!
But yeah, I can see where you are coming from. It's just a different marketing technique than other gyms use. So I am sure that new gyms will start popping up with the same ploy. Regardless, I am one of those people that fork out $10 a month, and I will definitely keep doing it until they no longer can fit my lifting requirements (so it might be a while).
Plus it helps that they are about 2 minutes from my house.0 -

Hey, if you're actually going to use it, more power to you. You're one of the few.
The location in Toronto has 6000 members. If each person used it for an hour, 3x per week, and it were open 24 hours/day, then there would be an average of 95 people in the gym every minute of every day. I don't think there's enough space in the gym for that many people!0 -

Yeah I think you're right.
A little off topic, but I think that we just made MFP history. The first discussion that didn't inevitably turn into a hate fest!

My thought exactly when I first read that. 6000 members for one location! And no one even has an option to go anywhere else, because it is the only one location. I wonder if they informed people signing up that there were that many members, and if they have a cut off??? Seems like they are counting on a good portion not using it on a regular basis.0 -

I'm not saying all gyms are full of judgement. I honestly think they use that as a target for people who are extremely self conscious and afraid to go to gyms. I have a friend who refused to go to the gym in our building because she didn't want people to see her working out and didn't want to join a real gym because she felt she was the only overweight person there. It made her feel at ease.
I hate that they offer pizza and bagels, too. Our PP has tons of members but there are never that many in it. But on pizza or bagel day, I pull up to a gym that I can normally park easily, and there are about 100 cars in the parking lot and fifty people sitting in the lobby area eating. All of them I have never seen in the gym before. I then spend the entire night trying to get to the weights and they are too busy hanging out on the incline bench texting.
The staff then procedes to try to give me pizza. I understand it's okay if it's in your calories but I don't eat pizza.
