You know how Crossfit makes money by goading super mediocre people into being convinced they're hardcore because they're doing pointless high volume circuit training with practically no benefit and it makes them sweaty and want to vom???
Planet Fitnoxx goads mediocre and or extremely below average people by creating an unchallenging environment where things that motivate or push you are outlawed so you don't feel insecure.

Also I got banned from Planet Fitness because they thought my workout where I poo poo my pants with diarheattic poopoo and then scoot my rear end on the ground like a loving dog while jiggling a bRbell on my back wasn't good

Planet Fitness was the best thing that ever happened to gyms. Now all of the weak/super fat/skinny fat/soccer moms go there to avoid feeling intimidated by people who actually put in the work. Now there is more room in real gyms without as many of the aforementioned people lying on the benches for 50 minutes in between sets of 5 press with the bar and doing pull ups in the squat rack. There will always be the latter in every gym though.

To be honest I really admire the business model, I mean normal gyms are built on the assumption that most of their members won't regularly use the gym but Planet Fitness's business model is built on ensuring that their members won't even bother pretending that they want to regularly work out nor care to.

I don't remember where I saw it but there is actually data showing that a huge portion of their members only bother showing up for free pizza and free bagel day and many of them don't even bother working out, their business model is basically a pizza place whose's customer base pre-pays for pizza once a month.

i go to my school's gym it's overflowing with babes and muscular bros and both of those things motivate me to get large muscles. the only problem is that it is very crowded.

We had one next to the food court and across from the theater at our loving mall for 2 years. The stench of BO and poorly cleaned rubber mats was so bad it caused the fuckin Sbarro and A&W that were nearest to it to lose enough business to shut down. The GM of the theater even had graphs showing it caused a 40% dip in popcorn sales that went right back up when they shut it down

24 Hour Super Sports are a god drat scam if you want to weight train. Go to an old Fit that was converted to a Sport. Better and more machines and benches, sometimes more bench presses too.

I go to Planet Fitness and I know it's not the cool hipster gym to use or whatever but there's one in walking distance of my place so I don't even need to use the locker room. I'm not into body building or power lifting so they have everything I would want in a gym except for a pool, and the membership fees are even cheaper than the Y. Where do you guys go to work out? Have you ever seen something funny there, like a dude using the leg spreader machine?

Freeweights on the patio and running shoes/bikes.

Why pay money to be locked.in some air-conditioned shithole that smells like balls with mandatory trash television blaring at you, plus you get warts/anal scarring in the showers? I assume it's for people who want an excuse not to exercise.
