Yaknow my entire life I’ve never shamed a fat person, skinny fat person or any other body type that is going to the gym to workout. Because it kind of makes no sense. They’re going to the gym to clearly change that lol.
If you’re homeless or living in your car planet fitness is a dream come true. $10 a month to shower, workout, get clean cold water, charge you’re phone/other electronics, escape the 110 degree summer days, and even free pizza fridays!
I wasn't homeless but I used to live in an old camper for several years that didn't have a working shower so I used the gym to do that as well. Sadly I didn't have a planet fitness near me so my bill was like $35 but still not bad at all.
@@ToastyBB if you live in a car the library is a more interesting place to hang out for hours then scoot on over to plant fitness. Planet fitness is generally a place to get your errands done and grab fridays lunch.
Left planet fitness today. No reason it should always be so crowded and the ratio of machines are awful. It was fun and cheap but at this point I needed a more serious gym
Planet fitness has a free trial for all ages 14-19 to attract more customers until august 19th. That's why it's so crowded. Also the best days to go are Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday in the morning or late night everything is available
Me and my buddies went to planet fitness for a month and during the last few days we went into the bathroom then we saw a stall with puke on the walls and floor, an underwear in the toilet with poop on the underwear and on the toilet
Yes, and planet fitness loves people like that. Because they will sign up for a membership and then never come in. This allows them to use smaller cheaper locations and book waay over capacity. That's their entire business model. They don't want people who have any amount of passion towards fitness. Everyone mocked their TV ads and lunk alarms and free pizza, but that was their entire business model. To attract the average person who'll never actually workout.
@@aternaljoy7649 I recall reading that all gym business models rely on the majority of their members not attending or attending very infrequently. It's true of PF, but Gold's and all the rest as well. The problem is not the gyms or any particular gym. The problem is most people take their health for granted, are preoccupied with other things in their life, and are probably self conscious and embarrassed to go to the gym regularly. PF lowers some barriers but ultimately it up to each individual to realize the value of regular exercise and make it part of their lifestyle.
@@geneyumang9554 granted, for someone like me who focuses more on cardio. Treadmills are more useful than weights. I use weights too to maintain a balanced exercise regimen. But I've been to a few gyms with horrible Treadmills that catch and are quite dangerous. I feel planet might be focused more on just letting people get in shape, but it's obviously not meant for serious lifting/competition training.
@@morpheus9502people get shredded with bodyweight exercises. 95% of people are working out to get healthier and fitter, not compete at a local powerlifting competition. It's great for $10-$25 a month
Why everybody be hating on PF?? They’re cheap, clean, and you get perks to come with it. Plus if you’re a trucker, they have free showers and parking smh
Because to exercise and lift at a competitive level or even an impressive level you are going to need to grunt, yell, or have heavy free-weights available. Planet Fitness has intentionally made themselves a brand that essentially states: If you are trying to get really strong, don't come here. For a casual experience they are amazing. If you have a low income, they are fantastic. But if you are a dedicated lifter, they are bad.
@@bloopboop9320there's loads of jacked people at my planet fitness... and I hear them grunting all the time, the majority of people are listening to music anyway, I've never had these fake planet fitness experiences happen to me
Quick lesson on Planet Fitness, it wasn’t created for men. The founder of the gym created a place where his wife could workout without being stared at or hit on. Basically a place where women could workout comfortably. Hints the purple vibe, lunk alarm, and lack of power training equipment
@@egusisoup1826 I'm sure the owner knew if he made the gym female only he wouldn't get nearly as much business. Let's be real most gyms that only cater to one gender generally don't do that great.
@@victorsoto4821 Definitely the potential reach would be much smaller, especially at the time. However, today more than ever there's a huge market for female only gyms due to the shared experience of being ogled at. Getting a monopoly over a niche is a great way to make money, but you are correct it would be considerably more difficult. Despite the market, the only female only gyms I have heard of charge a hefty premium because they make it all luxury to attract clients. so you may be right. Must be a hard market to capitalize on
I love it! After having a humiliating experience at a gym that catered more to the already-fit-taking-it-next-level crowd, I avoided gyms completely for years. It’s nice to go into one and see a variety of people and levels all doing their own thing, the facilities are always immaculate, and the staff friendly and helpful. I get that it’s not for everyone but very grateful it’s available for me.
My PF has had a bunch of seniors since January and I think it's fantastic the generation before the fitness boom of the 80s is interested in gyms. I am still intimidated by the free weight section of my gym because it is always full but the machines do alright and I get in and get out. Everyone minds their own business at mine.
I remember I made so much progress my first few months lifting when I used to have a membership there, because I felt comfortable being able to fix my form and learn new exercises there.
It's free for teens over the summer? No wonder it has a problem with being overcrowded. As a teen I would nearly prefer if it wasn't free just to reduce the amount of people there. But that is great if it just a teen who wants to workout
@@h.d.5194 yeah, I believe the promo ends on august 19th or something like that. If you can, try to go around lunch time or a little after that. Maybe it won’t work for you but for me there’s very few people there at my pf
People hate PF because it’s not a gym bro sanctuary and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Some people legit hate seeing unfit or regular people in the gym which is why you have a bunch of ass holes filming random people at the gym and shaming them for not being pros. Plenty of people make their goals at planet fitness it’s cheap and gets the job done.
1 not all gyms cost an arm and a leg. 2 planet fitness can’t take you that far compared to a regular gym. 3 people that record other people are little shits not everyone is like that most people at the gym are hella nice. 4 I’ve been going to a gym in my town not a single person has ever filmed someone else. 5 if someone is recording at the gym it’s their pr
Most of the people in those “gym fail” videos are complete idiots anyways. It’s not like they’re a bunch of newbies who are just weak or misusing a machine by mistake. They’re usually morons using cable machines to launch themselves in the air or some other nonsense.
Yes. I don’t feel out of place when I’m at pf. It’s a good gym for a good price. I have another membership at another gym that is a bro sanctuary and I feel out of place. I like being at PF and feeling like I’m at peace lol
That's nof whay i hear. Most people i see that hate PF is because, in their experience, it's the most judgemental gym out there. I've heard stories thay range from the staff sounding the lunk alarm for shits and giggles to people being denied entry for looking intimidating.
If you’re a beginner or experienced and just want to maintain yourself and workout everyday nothing to crazy yk then planet fitness is perfect! But if you want to get big, compete and be absolute best you can be then I’d say to definitely check out a different gym
The machines don't know that they're purple and the weights don't know they live in Planet fitness. If you're serious about building and maintaining a strong and healthy physique you can definitely do it here. I love Planet Fitness!
Same, and I just got back from it at 10 at night. Then again, they are doing a special deal for high schoolers until the end of August. So once that wraps up I can finally get a rack at 9 pm without other people crowding around.
@@MizzouRah78 I know I'm late but 1) you don't know the guy and 2) why would you give a shit about whether he has specific fitness goals? What, you do so everyone should? Being fit and healthy is truly the only necessary goal of working out. You don't need to be shredded, ripped, or a big muscular person - if that's your preference, then obviously go for it. I'm looking to lose some weight while also building muscle and toning out my body. But at the end of the day, it's about living a healthy lifestyle. Focus on yourself.
@@maverick3732 To be honest, I don't even remember this. I'd have to watch the video again to recall the context, but it's not that important. That being said, I agree with you...🤷♂️
@@maverick3732 you realize that you in your attempt to tell that guy off for saying everyone should have an established fitness goal just proclaimed your own? "lose weight, get some muscle and tone body" that's a fitness goal, it aint "get swole like a mountain" but it's still a fitness goal and to accomplish it there are excersises that are generally way better for doing so than just going at it randomly. for losing weight something that burns a lot of calories is the main requirement but for the rest you should generally just have a pretty even full body workout regime
PF employee here, you got pretty much everything right! The main reason for Planet Fitness to even exist is for people who have either never worked out before in their life or just now getting back into it for the first time in a long time, that's our niche market that we try to target, we do have a lot of bodybuilders in our particular gym that prefer it here Just because it's cheap and clean
@@lukedvorak8654 yeah the smith machines can actually help with training and posture (kind of) Edit: we also offer fitness training if the location has a fitness trainer that is included in all memberships
@@lionsroarstudios7581 What's the deal with the lunk alarm though? I ended my membership because the jackoff working at 3am decided to hit it for me being out of breath because I was running on the treadmill.
I like the $25 plan. You can go to any PF in the network. This will be especially useful for me. When I retire I plan to backpack around the country for a year making my way from Key West to Alaska. PF will be vital for showers, charging and keeping fit.
You can do deadlifts on the Smith machines, just move the bench and bring the bar down. The lunk alarm is stupid, but most places never use them unless you're trying to set it off. The quality of the experience can really depend on the location and the time you go, the ratio of machines is not always great, but if you go at a time that is very quiet, you don't have to worry to much about that(and the app has a built in crowd meter to tell you how busy your home gym is). All in all it serves me well
Planet fitness is legit, you can get serious results. It’s all about consistency, doesn’t matter where you train Golds, 24 hour, La fitness, the park. Only with dedication you get results.
@@steelmongoose4956 idk there are a few big regulars that go to my PF. But then again you are right about the equipment limitations...One of those big guys basically takes all the 45s in the gym when he does legs. Everyome else is stuck with the smaller weights till he is done. lol
Even without a gym, I get results though. I bought 50 poubd dumbells, I run a lot pluse my push ups and situps. The only thing that holds me back is my diet.
Planet fitness isn’t really built for a bunch of super fit people, it’s more meant for fat people like me, who are super super anxious about going to the gym. Even at planet fitness I prefer to go at midnight when it’s empty because anxiety is a bitch
I know you’ve heard the “don’t worry bro no one even cares, we are all here to do our one thing” too much and it doesn’t get rid of that gym anxiety. But you are putting in the effort towards a healthier lifestyle never feel shameful in that. Keep pushing I believe in you man you’ll make those goals.
I’d suggest going to Youfit gyms instead. They still have a low price, super friendly staff, and they actually have squat racks and good equipment. I should know, I work at Youfit. Also: we don’t get mad at people for their grunting (as long as it isn’t out of the top of their lungs and overdramatized).
Yea man tbh that anxiety probably won’t go away much until u look like Arnold Schwarzenegger, I’ve been going for like 3 months now and I still feel anxious going, it’s more the thought of going that makes me nervous rather than actually being there though because I always see people as clueless as me there
@@prod.mysttt any time I see someone who doesn’t go regularly I still give them props cause half the lazy ass people in the world don’t go to the gym don’t be down on yourself when you’re grinding fuck anyone else
@@omagachidenkai it’s kind of the same at planet fitness, yea there’s some crazy employees, but they usually don’t care, at least in my area unless it’s over the top. I think it’s just one of those things that helps ease my mind where people aren’t allowed to be douchebags basically. And yea, it could still happen obviously, but it kind of helps ease my mind
Planet fitness has been great for me! They are literally EVERYWHERE so it's been really convenient. As a trucker who wants to stay fit and hygienic the parking lots are usually big enough for me to park, go in and get a good workout and shower and if going during a slow time and can usually stay in their parking lots for my 10 hr break. Plus the black card allows me to go to ANY PF in the world for $24. I prefer them over noisy, dirty truck stops where you have to pay $12-$17 per shower. Not all are 24hrs tho and they close early on weekends which is a slight inconvenience but still worth it! I ♥️ them!
@@beezusHrist No there really is good looking people. You don't need to go to a fancy or high priced one to get skinny or stay in shape. Maybe to show off muscles or get a six pack but just wanna lose weight and not go that mile then Planet Fitness is not a bad place to go. Planet Fitness gets such a bad reputation but I think some of it is cause people go to high priced ones and all that. All I wanna do Is lose weight not build anything at this time.
I personally believe that if you care enough ab your health, you will do what is necessary to get to where you need to be. Going to PF 6 times a week for an hour has gotten me down to 10% bf. Unless you are into competitions, I really don't get the complaining
I go to PF and have for years. Never heard the lunk alarm go off, there are decently big dudes there who obviously know what they're doing, and I can get in a good workout. I don't get the hate either.
Same! The guy who runs ours is huge! Definitely was an athlete or serious body builder, and plenty of athletes there at mine! these dudes are on an ego, talking crap to just talk crap!
My local PF is annoying as hell! They're always blasting the Lunk alarm and I swear the employees try to piss you off any chance they get. I wont delve into details on this but many of the employees are also bribed by a regular with free entrance into a strip club he works at so they let him do whatevet he wants and bug everyone else.
Currently there on the free summer deal, it’s actually pretty nice. While it doesn’t have the free pizzas or bagels like it did before Covid, I still really appreciate what they have in store for such a small price. I’m just doing basic strength training so I’m not too worried about the lack of certain equipment, if I really want a good deadlift, I’ll invest in some barbells and weights for home.
the lunk alarm is cringy af like what’s wrong with people grunting while lifting heavy weights? There’s even a video of people dropping a pen and the alarm going off, search it up.
It’s actually a person setting it off lol. But, really, it’s to make normies that don’t work out not feel scared. I live in a place that isn’t safe, and as such there is a huge population of “lunk heads”, using steroids. Gyms are very intimidating because of this, and many thicc people think working out it just weights. They also offer free classes! This place is for gentler souls that want to be better, not for those who know exactly what they are doing.
@@lilahcray7434 But isn't that the individual's own fault and lack of confidence for being "intimidated"? As a serious lifter who's been at it for 7 years now I would say a good 90% of those roided "lunk heads" are some of the friendliest people you'd talk to who would love to help others out if they simply asked. I've never supported PF for judging serious lifters simply because normies have anxiety and are too scared to ask questions
I actually had the lunk alarm go off on me when i was in PF, keep in mind i had just started my journey so i was lifting and grunting, funnily enough im at a new private gym and i never feel judged or insecure there like i did at PF, just wasnt for me but it was super clean!!
I got a membership to one last week. The employees are pretty chill and I saw some well built dudes go in. Its is in a hispanic/black neigborhood so no karens and the weights are somewhat far from the front desk Maybe one day ill see Sam Sulek walk in someday. 😅
“This is a judgement free zone!” Unless you’re an actual lifter. Then we’ll install an alarm that goes off when you lift. 🤦♂️ How have they not been sued?
@@nohigherbeing na. You literally get kicked out for just lifting. I’ve seen the videos. It’s pretty disgusting. But we all know Planet Fitness isn’t a real gym. It’s just bad business. No wonder they’re going bankrupt.
Lol a stigma that isn't true I've been to many planet finesse and none ever played that alarm even when you drop weights. You believe what your told which is a ignorant way to think
I can't speak for anybody else but the reason I hate the place is due to the 'judgement-free zone' slogan being a flat-out lie...I went with my sister as her guest one day. I walked in ready to workout and after a little while I noticed a few of the staff members kinda low-key watching me. Then one of them walked up to me to let me know that the Do-rag and sleeveless shirt I was wearing was against their company rules! Really?!...I've went to MANY fitness places over the years and ironically the ONLY one to ever make me feel judged is the one that claims to be a judege free zone, Planet Fitness.
@@jarisfurry You don't even know what race he is. Anyone of any race wears durags and muscle shirts. People like you are annoying, who bring race and racism into everything where it most likely wasn't even there to start with.
I've been going to PF since 2018 and they never really did me wrong. The only problem I've had there is I was stabbed in the locker room this past summer by a homeless guy who had a black card membership and was going there only to use the showers. He stabbed me with a box cutter but didn't go deep so if he was trying to kill me he did a poor job at it. Otherwise the gym is a gym. It's got weights. You lift them. Unless you're Anatoly looking to clean, you're going to find plenty to test you there.
Ive been going to planet fittness for a month and i gotta say its surved me well. And its nice for being a teenager and completely free this whole summer and you get discounts on products out side the gym like garmin, stealth fittness, Swole shirts, ect. I think im gonna get there black card and enjoy the hydro massages, tanning beds, and total body enhancement machines.
Where I live planet fitness is the only gym around. No reason to make excuses or spread hate. A gym is a gym, so why you can and get the work In. Also calisthenics is one of the most beneficial movements for joint health, mobility, flexibility and endurance.
Perfect for people who run track or is into mountain biking or just general fitness and you are disciplined. If you serious about lifting you will hate that place
@@mchalemartin265 i can't remember exactly where cause it was a while ago but it was some guy who used to work there got fired and decided to tell some secrets
Went for my first time today. Very helpful staff and quiet environment besides the music. Dude even taught me how to use the treadmill but I guess the one I tried was broken 😂
I’m just using it because it’s free for the summer for teenagers. But I absolutely fucking hate benching and squatting on the smith machine. You just can’t get as good of a pump compared to a regular free weight barbell.
Get outta there, those smith machines will fuck your shoulders up. Your body is not designed to bench or overhead press in a perfectly straight line and it adds stress to your joints (especially rotator cuff). Please do not do presses of any kind in a Smith machine if you value your shoulders whatsoever. I say this with love.
I go to PF mainly for the price and location, obviously it’s not the best gym there is but I can make do with what I can afford it just takes consistency
@@maggie0285 better that then calling myself after one of the worst cars in history and btw you’re not helping the environment with your dog shit car ☠️
I've used Planet fitness for years and got great gains out of the place. Just recently I was going hard on bicept curls with my headphones in when the 2 massive ladies who were sitting on the floor the whole time walked over to me and said sir I don't know if you know this or not but you're making grunting noises a lot and it's hard for us to concentrate.... I thought nothing of it and said my bad but during the next set thought to myself this isn't the library it's the damn gym. You're supposed to put yourself in strenuous situations to get results and grunting just happens sometimes wether you want to or not. Before I left that area I told them exactly what I was thinking in a respectful way and within 5 minutes 2 workers had approached me and said it would be best if I left for what I had done... Needless to say I canceled that membership the next day and went to the YMCA. Looking back most of the workers there were cool and didn't give af but that experience alone pissed me off so much I just had to make a point to them. They cared more about the two obese ladies sitting on the floor doing nothing but talking to each other than someone with headphones in minding their own business who goes to their gym and works out hard damn near everyday.
I get a free membership in our area because I'm a first responder. One day we went to the gym, I forgot my workout shoes. So I just wore my work boots thinking nothing about it. I got stopped by a employee saying someone reported me saying my boots were intimidating. 😆
I love the hypocrisy of the Lunk alarm. “A person who grunts slams weights or judges” But the exact example they used was them judging a Lunk for wearing a bodybuilding tank top and having a gallon water jug… Ironically the gym that is supposed to be a judgement free zone has more judgement than other traditional gyms
If you struggle to make gains at a PF that says more about your work ethic and lack of training knowledge. It's not the best gym around, but it gets the job done.
I enjoy my pf, I have to say though it's not about the machines at the gym...it's about the work your willing to put in. I've made incredible gains through pf alone and being broke af...it's definitely a win for me! P.s. I do wish they would throw some scales in there. P.p.s. The lunk alarm is bullshit "no judgment zone" yet they judge what you wear and how you workout. Lol I drop those weights all the time and it never goes off and yes....I grunt...idgaf whatever helps get that last possible rep!!
I’ve been in a few commercial gyms like LA fitness now im in Planet. Like he said in the video besides the bench and squat rack its good enough to keep me in shape. You just have to learn how to be resourceful. I mainly go there for the 20$ (for two ppl!) membership. Im happy with it . Just miss my bench ngl 😢
planet fit isnt for the people who go to the gym 5 days a week and hit a new pr every single workout, its for people who are new to the experience, are anxious to be around people who grunt and scream with every rep and/or dont have or feel the need to spend $30,40,50 a month on a gym membership. i started at planet fitness after i broke my leg playing soccer and couldnt compete any more. i probably spend less than 10 hours in any gym but im glad i started there! i was able to express myself, learn how to workout and get comfortable with the movement and able to move up a decent amount of weight with all exercises. they have pretty much everything you need and if youre smart and with a little gym ingenuity, you can come up with a good amount of work outs to push yourself to the max. is planet fitness for everyone? no. but its its a good stepping stone for anyone who is looking to start their fitness journey! they dont deserve all the hate they get, i stand by pf ✊🏽
Not true been going for years been hitting new pr and go 5-6 times a week. It’s just really cheap simple as that. Perfect for me. You actually find ppl that are actually consistent and trying to better their workouts in planet fitness.
@@blackstar7271 good shit bro, it really depends on the person, their goals and their mindset. i was at pf for 2 years till i just recently switched to 24 because i was near maxing out machines and the hours didnt fit my schedule. to each their own! but PF does not deserve the hate and is actually worth the hype tbh
Glad you so strongly “stand by” a corporate gym that causes all other private gyms in the area of operation to go out of business. Soft people like the ones in these comments are why our nation is declining so rapidly. We used to have a nation of strong willed, motivated individuals. Now we have “Don’t judge me!”. I never thought I’d grow up to out perform the majority of society both cognitively and physically, but honestly the bar is so low that it has been easy to surpass the common man on every level.
I go to planet fitness and I’ve been working out there just fine tbh I’ve lost lotta weight gain tons of muscle mass and I’ve been going there ever since idk why ppl hate on it think it’s actually decent place
i feel like the lunk alarm was meant to be a thing where the biggest of lunks would come in and then itd be sorta a fun "haha you got me" type game when it goes off but, all it does it promote sacrificing good form for the quietest form possible and not being able to lift heavy weights
I go there cause i am a student and broke and i fuckin hate 200 people there during evening and not leaving a single fucking thing alone…… i am gonna dip as soon as possible
Over time, those assisted smith machines might fuck up your shoulders. But you can still get a good workout using the dumbbells, benches and pull up racks
It’s a product of a left leaning society. All life becomes equally trifle and the only people who are catered to are the lowest performing in society. Catering to the weak is what is thought of as “progressive” or “liberal”. So in theory, everyone is treated equally, but in reality everyone is treated the same as the vindictive, obese, nerds with BPD. Obviously healthy, fit, happy individuals do not spend their time concerned with losers and their performance, or lack there of. The “judgement” people feel at gyms is a projection of their own shortcomings. In reality nobody is concerned with you, in your head everyone is watching. It’s called being self conscious and it used to be a way people motivated themselves, now they just blame everyone else. Blaming others is the standard now, especially amongst the uneducated, unmotivated, and hypnotized youth.
I had a staff member pull the lunk alarm on me when I was "breathing heavy" after trying to push for a higher bench press on their terrible smith machines. There were a grand total of 2 others in the gym because it was very late and they were nowhere near me. I even asked the staff "Did anybody complain?" And he said no, nobody ever complained but then accused me of playing music too loud on my EARBUDS and that I always lift too heavy. I shit you not. Canceled my membership on the spot and went to a far better gym. No complaints ever since.
Depends on where its located. The one where I live told my friend he couldn’t carry around a gallon jug of water because it was too intimidating. They made him downsize it
@@jasonmelvin9102 its not fake thats a actually a real rule they have for some reason they don't let people have water jugs. There probably are some locations where they're lenient about it tho but that's kinda rare
Fun fact The owner of planet fitness goal of the gym was for the audience of the type of women that film guys supposedly staring at them at the gym that was his sole purpose of making the gym
IMO planet fitness seems like it’s more for people trying to lose weight and less for body building, like it seems to be for the people who don’t really know where they belong or if they belong in a gym. Which I see as a good thing to get people familiar with working out
I work at a bank. Planet Fitness is BY FAR the worst offender of attempting endless ACH debits from people's accounts. Payment doesn't go through, PF tries again the next day, and the next day. Before you know it, your bank has charged $300 in fees, and PF won't cancel your subscription unless you go into the exact location you signed up.
@@daMillenialTrucker it depends on the bank. Most banks charge members for placing a stop payment on ACHs. Some banks will also only set a stop payment for a specific amount, so if PF charges a different amount, it circumvents the stop pmt
My biggest issue with it at least where I go, is how jam packed it gets. Sometimes I have to cut my workout short because I can’t get a machine or dumbbells so I finish at home
it was actually good for me before the pandemic and even during the pandemic. I knew Monday nights were jam packed so I made that an off day. Friday night 1.5 hours before closing was good also. Now...maybe because of inflation and people can't afford to go out and trying to find a cheap gym. It is jam packed every day of the week. Even Friday night
Well planet fitness help me humble up, I used to go to LA Fitness and love it but, you can also get big with the machines they have and in the long run you can save lots of money and look good if you follow a diet
He's doughy like everyone else that goes there.
Pin of shame
Big boned...
Doughy... So funny. Im a regular bakery I guess! But hey I just joined PF. Second day tomorrow! Wish me luck
It's called a bulk
Yaknow my entire life I’ve never shamed a fat person, skinny fat person or any other body type that is going to the gym to workout. Because it kind of makes no sense. They’re going to the gym to clearly change that lol.
If you’re homeless or living in your car planet fitness is a dream come true. $10 a month to shower, workout, get clean cold water, charge you’re phone/other electronics, escape the 110 degree summer days, and even free pizza fridays!
Would they not notice the guy who comes in every day for hours not working out?
@@ToastyBB yea but if hes Paying customer, what they gonna say theres no time limit on how long you can stay

La fitness ur is ur best friend when I say it’s perfect I mean LITERALLY perfect. Honestly, best commercial gym
Planet fitness has a free trial for all ages 14-19 to attract more customers until august 19th. That's why it's so crowded. Also the best days to go are Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday in the morning or late night everything is available

I don't know if it's there or not but try body temple
The vast majority of people are not serious lifters, they just want to be healthier, more fit, and Planet Fitness meets that need very well.
This 100%. I am sick of all these egotistical bodybuilders/powerlifters who thinks everyone wants to be like them.
@@obvioushieidude7668yea same
And Planet Fitness is affordable, way cheaper than other gyms.
Yes, and planet fitness loves people like that. Because they will sign up for a membership and then never come in. This allows them to use smaller cheaper locations and book waay over capacity.
That's their entire business model. They don't want people who have any amount of passion towards fitness.
Everyone mocked their TV ads and lunk alarms and free pizza, but that was their entire business model. To attract the average person who'll never actually workout.
@@aternaljoy7649 I recall reading that all gym business models rely on the majority of their members not attending or attending very infrequently. It's true of PF, but Gold's and all the rest as well. The problem is not the gyms or any particular gym. The problem is most people take their health for granted, are preoccupied with other things in their life, and are probably self conscious and embarrassed to go to the gym regularly. PF lowers some barriers but ultimately it up to each individual to realize the value of regular exercise and make it part of their lifestyle.
The gym doesn't make you you make the gym work for you

All my hate for Planet Fitness went away when I entered the real world lol. $10 is $10 lol
that whole mindset changes when in a different situation
Cuz there's way more treadmills than real free weights u get what u paid for crap gym lol... not for serious lifters..
@@geneyumang9554 granted, for someone like me who focuses more on cardio. Treadmills are more useful than weights. I use weights too to maintain a balanced exercise regimen. But I've been to a few gyms with horrible Treadmills that catch and are quite dangerous.

Because to exercise and lift at a competitive level or even an impressive level you are going to need to grunt, yell, or have heavy free-weights available. Planet Fitness has intentionally made themselves a brand that essentially states: If you are trying to get really strong, don't come here.
For a casual experience they are amazing. If you have a low income, they are fantastic. But if you are a dedicated lifter, they are bad.

Quick lesson on Planet Fitness, it wasn’t created for men. The founder of the gym created a place where his wife could workout without being stared at or hit on. Basically a place where women could workout comfortably. Hints the purple vibe, lunk alarm, and lack of power training equipment
There is such a thing as women only gyms though
Did all of that yet didn't make it female only. Like cleaning out your pantry to be healthier and than ordering mc Donald's every day
@@egusisoup1826 I'm sure the owner knew if he made the gym female only he wouldn't get nearly as much business. Let's be real most gyms that only cater to one gender generally don't do that great.
@@victorsoto4821 Definitely the potential reach would be much smaller, especially at the time. However, today more than ever there's a huge market for female only gyms due to the shared experience of being ogled at. Getting a monopoly over a niche is a great way to make money, but you are correct it would be considerably more difficult. Despite the market, the only female only gyms I have heard of charge a hefty premium because they make it all luxury to attract clients. so you may be right. Must be a hard market to capitalize on

It’s nice to go into one and see a variety of people and levels all doing their own thing, the facilities are always immaculate, and the staff friendly and helpful. I get that it’s not for everyone but very grateful it’s available for me.
My PF has had a bunch of seniors since January and I think it's fantastic the generation before the fitness boom of the 80s is interested in gyms. I am still intimidated by the free weight section of my gym because it is always full but the machines do alright and I get in and get out. Everyone minds their own business at mine.

Being a starter and the fact that it’s free for teens over the summer makes it good enough for me
I remember I made so much progress my first few months lifting when I used to have a membership there, because I felt comfortable being able to fix my form and learn new exercises there.
It's free for teens over the summer? No wonder it has a problem with being overcrowded. As a teen I would nearly prefer if it wasn't free just to reduce the amount of people there. But that is great if it just a teen who wants to workout

I'm looking to lose some weight while also building muscle and toning out my body. But at the end of the day, it's about living a healthy lifestyle. Focus on yourself.

PF employee here, you got pretty much everything right! The main reason for Planet Fitness to even exist is for people who have either never worked out before in their life or just now getting back into it for the first time in a long time, that's our niche market that we try to target, we do have a lot of bodybuilders in our particular gym that prefer it here Just because it's cheap and clean

@@ChannelFiend Is that true? I recently had to take some personal time off due to some family issues so I've been out of the loop for a few weeks
I like the $25 plan. You can go to any PF in the network. This will be especially useful for me. When I retire I plan to backpack around the country for a year making my way from Key West to Alaska. PF will be vital for showers, charging and keeping fit.
You can do deadlifts on the Smith machines, just move the bench and bring the bar down. The lunk alarm is stupid, but most places never use them unless you're trying to set it off. The quality of the experience can really depend on the location and the time you go, the ratio of machines is not always great, but if you go at a time that is very quiet, you don't have to worry to much about that(and the app has a built in crowd meter to tell you how busy your home gym is). All in all it serves me well
Planet fitness is legit, you can get serious results. It’s all about consistency, doesn’t matter where you train Golds, 24 hour, La fitness, the park. Only with dedication you get results.
I lost 50 pounds going to planet fitness. Lol, a gym is a gym. It doesn't matter what the name is or where it is located.
You can get serious results as a beginner, if you bring your own intensity. The equipment limitations at Planet Fitness are real, though.
@@steelmongoose4956 idk there are a few big regulars that go to my PF. But then again you are right about the equipment limitations...One of those big guys basically takes all the 45s in the gym when he does legs. Everyome else is stuck with the smaller weights till he is done. lol

Planet fitness isn’t really built for a bunch of super fit people, it’s more meant for fat people like me, who are super super anxious about going to the gym. Even at planet fitness I prefer to go at midnight when it’s empty because anxiety is a bitch
I know you’ve heard the “don’t worry bro no one even cares, we are all here to do our one thing” too much and it doesn’t get rid of that gym anxiety. But you are putting in the effort towards a healthier lifestyle never feel shameful in that. Keep pushing I believe in you man you’ll make those goals.
I’d suggest going to Youfit gyms instead. They still have a low price, super friendly staff, and they actually have squat racks and good equipment.
I should know, I work at Youfit. Also: we don’t get mad at people for their grunting (as long as it isn’t out of the top of their lungs and overdramatized).
Yea man tbh that anxiety probably won’t go away much until u look like Arnold Schwarzenegger, I’ve been going for like 3 months now and I still feel anxious going, it’s more the thought of going that makes me nervous rather than actually being there though because I always see people as clueless as me there

Planet fitness has been great for me! They are literally EVERYWHERE so it's been really convenient. As a trucker who wants to stay fit and hygienic the parking lots are usually big enough for me to park, go in and get a good workout and shower and if going during a slow time and can usually stay in their parking lots for my 10 hr break. Plus the black card allows me to go to ANY PF in the world for $24. I prefer them over noisy, dirty truck stops where you have to pay $12-$17 per shower. Not all are 24hrs tho and they close early on weekends which is a slight inconvenience but still worth it! I ♥️ them!

Planet fitness in Canal Winchester Ohio sounded the lunk alarm once while I was there. I looked around and everyone had a straight face😂
There are big dudes that tiptoe and generally use PF as a substitute when they can't go to their good gym.
My local PF is annoying as hell! They're always blasting the Lunk alarm and I swear the employees try to piss you off any chance they get. I wont delve into details on this but many of the employees are also bribed by a regular with free entrance into a strip club he works at so they let him do whatevet he wants and bug everyone else.
Currently there on the free summer deal, it’s actually pretty nice. While it doesn’t have the free pizzas or bagels like it did before Covid, I still really appreciate what they have in store for such a small price. I’m just doing basic strength training so I’m not too worried about the lack of certain equipment, if I really want a good deadlift, I’ll invest in some barbells and weights for home.

It’s actually a person setting it off lol. But, really, it’s to make normies that don’t work out not feel scared. I live in a place that isn’t safe, and as such there is a huge population of “lunk heads”, using steroids. Gyms are very intimidating because of this, and many thicc people think working out it just weights. They also offer free classes! This place is for gentler souls that want to be better, not for those who know exactly what they are doing.

I've never supported PF for judging serious lifters simply because normies have anxiety and are too scared to ask questions
I actually had the lunk alarm go off on me when i was in PF, keep in mind i had just started my journey so i was lifting and grunting, funnily enough im at a new private gym and i never feel judged or insecure there like i did at PF, just wasnt for me but it was super clean!!

I've been going to PF since 2018 and they never really did me wrong. The only problem I've had there is I was stabbed in the locker room this past summer by a homeless guy who had a black card membership and was going there only to use the showers. He stabbed me with a box cutter but didn't go deep so if he was trying to kill me he did a poor job at it. Otherwise the gym is a gym. It's got weights. You lift them. Unless you're Anatoly looking to clean, you're going to find plenty to test you there.
WHAT IN THE
Ive been going to planet fittness for a month and i gotta say its surved me well. And its nice for being a teenager and completely free this whole summer and you get discounts on products out side the gym like garmin, stealth fittness, Swole shirts, ect.
I think im gonna get there black card and enjoy the hydro massages, tanning beds, and total body enhancement machines.
I think they named it the lunk alarm because any employee who actually presses it has to be one annoying lunk.
Where I live planet fitness is the only gym around. No reason to make excuses or spread hate. A gym is a gym, so why you can and get the work In. Also calisthenics is one of the most beneficial movements for joint health, mobility, flexibility and endurance.

Jay cutler disagrees
Get outta there, those smith machines will fuck your shoulders up. Your body is not designed to bench or overhead press in a perfectly straight line and it adds stress to your joints (especially rotator cuff). Please do not do presses of any kind in a Smith machine if you value your shoulders whatsoever. I say this with love.
whatever the guy above said, speaking from experience. Don't you dare touch the Smith if you're planning on benchpress

I've used Planet fitness for years and got great gains out of the place. Just recently I was going hard on bicept curls with my headphones in when the 2 massive ladies who were sitting on the floor the whole time walked over to me and said sir I don't know if you know this or not but you're making grunting noises a lot and it's hard for us to concentrate.... I thought nothing of it and said my bad but during the next set thought to myself this isn't the library it's the damn gym. You're supposed to put yourself in strenuous situations to get results and grunting just happens sometimes wether you want to or not. Before I left that area I told them exactly what I was thinking in a respectful way and within 5 minutes 2 workers had approached me and said it would be best if I left for what I had done... Needless to say I canceled that membership the next day and went to the YMCA. Looking back most of the workers there were cool and didn't give af but that experience alone pissed me off so much I just had to make a point to them. They cared more about the two obese ladies sitting on the floor doing nothing but talking to each other than someone with headphones in minding their own business who goes to their gym and works out hard damn near everyday.
I get a free membership in our area because I'm a first responder. One day we went to the gym, I forgot my workout shoes. So I just wore my work boots thinking nothing about it. I got stopped by a employee saying someone reported me saying my boots were intimidating. 😆
@A J yea it’s wild there. I still have a membership there but stopped going. Go to a golds gym now.
I love the hypocrisy of the Lunk alarm. “A person who grunts slams weights or judges”
But the exact example they used was them judging a Lunk for wearing a bodybuilding tank top and having a gallon water jug…
Ironically the gym that is supposed to be a judgement free zone has more judgement than other traditional gyms
If you struggle to make gains at a PF that says more about your work ethic and lack of training knowledge. It's not the best gym around, but it gets the job done.
If you're 'threatened' by people who are in better shape, you need to grow up.

it’s the wrong shade
So true. As a purple enthusiast, the shade of purple could've been better. Such a shame it gets used so poorly
A pastel purple upgrade would be dope with black letter printing, but not too girly pastel😂
If they were going to use purple, they could’ve used something dark, not that weird magenta shade.
They used Wario purple
I like it
If most gyms weren't so expensive I would have left planet fitness a while ago 😫
I enjoy my pf, I have to say though it's not about the machines at the gym...it's about the work your willing to put in. I've made incredible gains through pf alone and being broke af...it's definitely a win for me! P.s. I do wish they would throw some scales in there. P.p.s. The lunk alarm is bullshit "no judgment zone" yet they judge what you wear and how you workout. Lol I drop those weights all the time and it never goes off and yes....I grunt...idgaf whatever helps get that last possible rep!!
I’ve been in a few commercial gyms like LA fitness now im in Planet. Like he said in the video besides the bench and squat rack its good enough to keep me in shape. You just have to learn how to be resourceful. I mainly go there for the 20$ (for two ppl!) membership. Im happy with it . Just miss my bench ngl 😢
planet fit isnt for the people who go to the gym 5 days a week and hit a new pr every single workout, its for people who are new to the experience, are anxious to be around people who grunt and scream with every rep and/or dont have or feel the need to spend $30,40,50 a month on a gym membership. i started at planet fitness after i broke my leg playing soccer and couldnt compete any more. i probably spend less than 10 hours in any gym but im glad i started there! i was able to express myself, learn how to workout and get comfortable with the movement and able to move up a decent amount of weight with all exercises. they have pretty much everything you need and if youre smart and with a little gym ingenuity, you can come up with a good amount of work outs to push yourself to the max. is planet fitness for everyone? no. but its its a good stepping stone for anyone who is looking to start their fitness journey! they dont deserve all the hate they get, i stand by pf ✊🏽
perfectly worded.
Not true been going for years been hitting new pr and go 5-6 times a week. It’s just really cheap simple as that. Perfect for me. You actually find ppl that are actually consistent and trying to better their workouts in planet fitness.
@@blackstar7271 good shit bro, it really depends on the person, their goals and their mindset. i was at pf for 2 years till i just recently switched to 24 because i was near maxing out machines and the hours didnt fit my schedule. to each their own! but PF does not deserve the hate and is actually worth the hype tbh
Why couldn't planet fitness be for 5+ days a week
Glad you so strongly “stand by” a corporate gym that causes all other private gyms in the area of operation to go out of business. Soft people like the ones in these comments are why our nation is declining so rapidly. We used to have a nation of strong willed, motivated individuals. Now we have “Don’t judge me!”. I never thought I’d grow up to out perform the majority of society both cognitively and physically, but honestly the bar is so low that it has been easy to surpass the common man on every level.
It's also free in the summer for teens so that's cool
10 bucks a month and don't forget in October they charge your account a maintenance fee somewhere close to $90 + the regular $10 month fee.
Yeah ppl forget that. It's still worth it. I wish they would let you pay a one time membership for the entire year. Like $160.
it's $40 in Texas, so a PF membership works out to ~$14/mo
I go to planet fitness and I’ve been working out there just fine tbh I’ve lost lotta weight gain tons of muscle mass and I’ve been going there ever since idk why ppl hate on it think it’s actually decent place
i feel like the lunk alarm was meant to be a thing where the biggest of lunks would come in and then itd be sorta a fun "haha you got me" type game when it goes off but, all it does it promote sacrificing good form for the quietest form possible and not being able to lift heavy weights
The only reason I hate this gym is because everybody goes here
Im saying💀 im tryna workout not have a reunion
I go there cause i am a student and broke and i fuckin hate 200 people there during evening and not leaving a single fucking thing alone…… i am gonna dip as soon as possible
Over time, those assisted smith machines might fuck up your shoulders. But you can still get a good workout using the dumbbells, benches and pull up racks
Thats the one in Hyde Park 😂
The reason why it sucks
- Says it is a Judgement Free Zone
- Judges whoever they hate, or slightly dislike
Sounds like a leftist
It’s a product of a left leaning society. All life becomes equally trifle and the only people who are catered to are the lowest performing in society. Catering to the weak is what is thought of as “progressive” or “liberal”. So in theory, everyone is treated equally, but in reality everyone is treated the same as the vindictive, obese, nerds with BPD. Obviously healthy, fit, happy individuals do not spend their time concerned with losers and their performance, or lack there of. The “judgement” people feel at gyms is a projection of their own shortcomings. In reality nobody is concerned with you, in your head everyone is watching. It’s called being self conscious and it used to be a way people motivated themselves, now they just blame everyone else. Blaming others is the standard now, especially amongst the uneducated, unmotivated, and hypnotized youth.
You sound like 🐈
sounds like gyms I've worked at or people in life in general.
I had a staff member pull the lunk alarm on me when I was "breathing heavy" after trying to push for a higher bench press on their terrible smith machines. There were a grand total of 2 others in the gym because it was very late and they were nowhere near me.
I even asked the staff "Did anybody complain?" And he said no, nobody ever complained but then accused me of playing music too loud on my EARBUDS and that I always lift too heavy. I shit you not. Canceled my membership on the spot and went to a far better gym. No complaints ever since.
Depends on where its located. The one where I live told my friend he couldn’t carry around a gallon jug of water because it was too intimidating. They made him downsize it
bruhhhh haha
how tf is a large amount of water intimidating lol
@@hollowmonarch9802 probably fake
I would have pulled out my blickey and told them no this right chere is intimidatin' Nigggggggggga.
@@jasonmelvin9102 its not fake thats a actually a real rule they have for some reason they don't let people have water jugs. There probably are some locations where they're lenient about it tho but that's kinda rare
Fun fact The owner of planet fitness goal of the gym was for the audience of the type of women that film guys supposedly staring at them at the gym that was his sole purpose of making the gym
The Planet Fittness in my city is different. It's huge. People that really work out are there. I never hear the lunk alarm.
IMO planet fitness seems like it’s more for people trying to lose weight and less for body building, like it seems to be for the people who don’t really know where they belong or if they belong in a gym. Which I see as a good thing to get people familiar with working out
I work at a bank. Planet Fitness is BY FAR the worst offender of attempting endless ACH debits from people's accounts. Payment doesn't go through, PF tries again the next day, and the next day. Before you know it, your bank has charged $300 in fees, and PF won't cancel your subscription unless you go into the exact location you signed up.
Can't you just block the charges from happening?
@@daMillenialTrucker it depends on the bank. Most banks charge members for placing a stop payment on ACHs. Some banks will also only set a stop payment for a specific amount, so if PF charges a different amount, it circumvents the stop pmt
I’ll just report my card stolen. Works every time 😂😂😂
@@realkylehooks yeah but if they do that, aren't they crossing over into some kind of fraud for doing that? 🫥
@@Bwooordreminds me of my early 20's 😂 but then I got older and realized how annoying it was to change all of my bills that were linked to that card
I just like that they're are so many of them. You can be anywhere in the country and find one
Planet Fitness is a health club. Not a GYM. There is a difference 🤷🏽♂️
I think Planet Fitness is a good gym if someone is first staring off or if money is tight
My biggest issue with it at least where I go, is how jam packed it gets. Sometimes I have to cut my workout short because I can’t get a machine or dumbbells so I finish at home
it was actually good for me before the pandemic and even during the pandemic. I knew Monday nights were jam packed so I made that an off day. Friday night 1.5 hours before closing was good also. Now...maybe because of inflation and people can't afford to go out and trying to find a cheap gym. It is jam packed every day of the week. Even Friday night
Go after 7pm or on the weekend and you will see a drastic difference.
Well planet fitness help me humble up, I used to go to LA Fitness and love it but, you can also get big with the machines they have and in the long run you can save lots of money and look good if you follow a diet
