Stretch Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I don't get the hatred with planet fitness. While it's not my primary gym, I use it for cardio when the weather is too shitty to run outside. I paid a one time fee of $99 for an entire years membership. Other than the fact that the dumbbells only go up to 75lbs, I really don't see an issue with the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Funkin' LOL Local area is saturated with Cheaper Gyms. For $10 a month ($50 up front, month to month) you can gave 24 access, shower, pool, and toss weight around like king kong. My office pays for a great rec center, and has a gym on site. Did you look at/do you have a local rec center? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea probably. Even still, I never see those types of people. Most of the times its just chicks on the cardio machines and skinny guys doing curls.

HotCarl Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I'll admit I use Plant Fitness. And I secretly hate the "judgetment free zone" that attempts to discourage people from lifting heavy weights and working out how they want to work out. its a judgement free zone as long as they're not the ones being judged right? bullshit. I don't ask for a lot when I work out. Free weights, a rack, a dip/pull up machine (b/c im weak) and a treadmill to finish it all off with but this place is a joke. I continue my membership there b/c its $10 a month.... 10 FUCKING DOLLARS. I live in dublin, the next option is $79+ at lifetime fitness (plus one time bullshit fees). Anything further and i wont be motivated to go when Im in a rush (which is always). Anyway, to the OP, this is the cheapest you will find anywhere. They thrive on finding people who want to "lose a few lbs" but secretly know they will never go to the gym and continue their membership on the principal that "hey someday I might"... whatever.

bdhill Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 just know that all memberships are negotiable, and never pay an initiation fee. The reps get a commission or bonus and they want you to join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the fact that the dumbbells only go up to 75lbs, I really don't see an issue with the place. This exactly. I do a lot of cycling in the summer, but can't get out as much with cold and shorter days. Looked into it, would've been. $29 to start, $10/mo, and a $29 "annual membership fee" in Feb...so in 5 months, I'm at $100. I paid the $100 this Monday and I'm good for a year. All I want is a place to go do some cardio and not be lazy this winter. I'm not trying to get enormous and need a top of the line gym. It's enough for most people. Worst part? I joined, worked out, and on the way out, look over by the tables and see my ex. FML. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 She hot? May not be a bad thing... She's an ex for a reason. I'm still unsure what was going thru my head for all those years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ex still goes to PF, just a different one. while we were dating we would go to the same PF, she would always wear these fucking yoga pants.... JESUS LORD THESE FUCKING YOGA PANTS.... and I would use whatever treadmill was behind her just to watch her ass bounce back and forth as she ran. I broke up with her but i'll always have a special place in my heart for those FUCKING YOGA PANTS. (dat ass doe) I should go to her PF just to catch a glimpse of those yoga pants again. /topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
