re: Snap Fitness vs Anytime Fitness vs Planet Fitness

Planet fitness is for fat and/or old people. Strike it off the list off the bat

I think most people who say this have never actually been in a Planet Fitness. It is not ideal but if you can't get a good workout in there you do not know much about working out.

This.

I use PF on top of my normal gym for days when I need to squeeze in a workout on my lunch break or if traffic is backed up on the way home. At $10/mo it's hard to beat. There's it free weight bar bells, if you're deciding between Anytime/PF/Snap, I doubt this is a deal breaker.

I was a member at Anytime, but there's not enough equipment there to justify paying $50 more per month than Planet Fitness.

anytime fitness on kaliste saloom Definitely the best on in Lafayette. The one in Youngsville is pretty small.

I live in Youngsville and thought it looked small. My wife works on Kaliste Saloom and I"m on the road all day. I'm leaning towards Snap Fitness.

I go to the Snap in Broussard across from Home Depot. No complaints. Plenty of equipment and spacious enough to do whatever you want.

over the years, i've been with snap and planet and the Y (not local).
pick the one that has a location near your home AND (preferably) your work, if possible. if you work out before or after you work, pick something near work. if you work out at odd hours, pick one near your house.
convenience is the key. you won't want to go out of your way just to get to a gym that reviewed well on tigerdroppings.


eta side bar:
i like planet fitness and snap hours, and they have locations everywhere. both VERY CHEAP. planet does suck if you're a girl or plan on working out with one. the guys are gross and stare. they sweat on everything and never wipe their machines down when they finish. on weekends (when i assume management is gone)... there's either no spray bottles filled, paper towels littering the floors, toilet paper is shredded all over the bathroom floor... but planet gyms are large with lots of cardio options. the snaps i've seen are modest. they've been simple and not what you're going to get at a 'normal' large facility gym.

Didn't know we had one.

Now I see it.

I don't know how someone would even consider one of those shitty strip mall gyms when reds is an option

I could understand if Reds was double the price but it's not even close

convenience. Snaps are close to work and plentiful in the cities I frequent.
I'm not a poser, looking for a side piece or training for a show. I dont care about a swimming pool, or court sports, and I don't consider any "club" membership as a status symbol- except for Augusta National, of which I am not a member. So while a shitty strip mall gym may leave a lot to be desired, it serves its purpose.
