anyone on here a planet fitness member

I've never been a member but I've been maybe three or so times. They appeal to basic beginners. No racks, barbells, etc. Only smith machines. The dumbbells don't go that high either, if I remember right.

Unless you just do cardio and machines, not the best gym.

It is what it is, a beginner gym.

As long as you keep your expectations low and realize that it's a gym tailored towards people who aren't trying to get yolked then it's not so bad.

It's great for cardio. They do have some dumb rules and the pizza/bagels/tootsie rolls are idiotic but for what you pay you get access to good quality equipment.

I am actually a member as with 3 kids sometimes I just need to go at lunch and knock it out.

If you want to get strong and are seeking mostly performance, need to find somewhere else. For bodybuilding it can work if you do something like Vince gioronda's workouts.

For general fitness it's fine. You can do dumbbell work up to 70lbs, cables and machine work. I mean any place you can do dips, weighted pushups, chins, DB press and sissy squats can allow you to get a damn good workout in.

It's not the best but it's fine for what most people are looking for.

This is 100% false

It was laden with sarcasm. PF and AF are both good gyms, but the meatheads think you need more than they can offer. I work out at AF and they have more weight than I will ever need.

Cardio machines, space for burpees, lunges, push-ups, and the cable machines. That's plenty for $10

I was a member for a few months. I got the $20 membership so I could get all the extra stuff. I would tan and stuff every once in a while.

PF gets a bad rap from the muscle guys. I've never once seen pizza or any of that there (not saying they don't have it, but even when they do you aren't forced to eat it).

Like others have said, if you are just looking to get in some solid cardio and work outs, you can't beat it for the price. Plenty of room, plenty of equipment. Ive done that and Snap, and I much prefer PF.

What is your opinion?

I've never been, but from what I've heard any serious lifter should stay away from that place. They basically insult lifters in their commercials, and go out of their way to discourage any kind of serious weight training.

I mean, I'd rather be like Speed Bag Kicker Guy (Youtube) than watching TV for an hour while slowly walking on the treadmill.

For $10/month, if there was one near me I would probably join just to have access to good cardio equipment to use occasionally.

My problem with PF is that they don’t have barbells other than smith machines. So, I will never join their gym for that reason. But, they’re cheap, and it’s perfectly fine for exercising regularly. For guys like me who like to do olympic lifting, powerlifting and strongman type workouts it’s just not for me.

I started with pf, if you are rooky it would be good for you. As for me, it gives me a good start into a sport and for now, I`ve riched nice results.
But it wasn`t easy, thnx my friends from https://essay4me.org/ for their help with all my essay and coursework while I was improving myself.
