Walked into Planet Fitness today for a tour.....................

[jross2021]

LOL. I'm convinced planet fitness is one big troll job.

This is the correct
Demographic for most planets fitness

Got kicked out one time during undergrad when I was home for vacation and went with my mom. The guy came from across the room telling me I "slammed" my 405 deadlifts on the floor. I still don't think I dropped them, but there is going to be a noise when the plates touch the mats.

not a barbell was seen this day, but like i said, I still have a real gym for real training. PF = my spa. srs

[nrowles]

I go to PF but mine is much different than most. 3 benches, squat rack, 26 45 lb plates, db up to 80 which works for me, many stand alone benches, I deadlift over 400 every week and nobody says anything, there's grunting and dropping weights, huge dudes lookin swole. Most are nothing like this though.

[LimitBreak]

overhead press ? so no shoulder exercises ? wtf

[Byzant1ne]

LMAO

no overhead press
no deadlift
no t bar row

dumbbells only going to 100lbs

It's such a weird company really. They spout all that crap about judgemental free zone and stuff but they label people into "weak" & "strong", "good looking" & "not good looking" so they're pretty much being demeaning to their customers really. They target people and basically say "you're weak/ugly, so come hang with us".

They target the insecure and mindfuk them by saying "we're not judging you" but they clearly are since their targets are insecure/outofshape/ugly/weak so if you feel like you can relate to the advertising then you have in fact been already been labelled by them already.

I'm guessing, for any gym, dedicated lifters account for only a small percentage of the total revenue. Most of their income is probably from casual gym goers, middle-aged to elderly people, and New Year's resolution people who quit before March. Then there's probably a lot of out of shape people who want to join a gym but don't because they are too intimidated.

So from a business standpoint, they are probably laughing all the way to the bank:

Set up a bare bones, franchise gym. Cater to this specific market while telling them what they want to hear - that they are keeping away the hardcore lifters. Profit!

the planet fitness by my house had bbell and srack last time i checked.

[Antonio519]

why didn't you say "well aren't you judging bodybuilders and powerlifters"

[snarled]

I'd be careful and read the contract properly OP, I've heard of people wanting out but being forced to pay fees to leave and still being charged for months after.

read it, it was less than a page. if you want to cancel before 1 year is up, you pay $58.

I learned my lesson with contracts from cell phones and Golds Gym. Golds Gym requires a CERTIFIED LETTER mailed to their HEADQUARTERS to cancel a membership, period. Not even an early cancellation. and until their HQ "accepts" you letter, they can charge you monthly fees. They have up 90 days to "accept it" AFTER the receive it.

GOLDS is the biggest bunch of crooks I have even done business with

That is crazy Genius, carb loaded while warming up to hit your max, and insulin shock for max anabolic effect and shuttling nutrients into the muscle, why haven't I though about it ?

[wheyman12]

Its a decent gym...but the gyms vary from place to place with the equiptment they offer. Some will be decent and some will suck.


The misc always talks trash about it but for the price it is easily the best value.

THe location i go to does a good job...im not very strong n chit but i still see pretty swole and jacked dudes working out there...pretty sure they do what you do and go there for certain workouts.
