it's good that the majority of fat people are fat because of diet and planet fitness does everything possible to gently caress that up

being in shape is a lifestyle, not a temporary diet, you can't lose 20 pounds then eat like poo poo again and expect to stay thin

e. i would do it to make a buck off idiots though, good job planetfitness

I work out religiously about 5x a week for 2 hours each visit.

Leg spreader machine only.

working out is pointless. we're all just going to die anyway. why spend your precious time doing boring poo poo in a place that smells like a sweaty ballsack?

Because some of us like to spend time in a place that smells like sweaty vagina?

Gyms where I live have a habit of never repairing or upgrading their equipment until everything is broke and they go out of business. Then they get bought and rebranded by a new owner who replaces everything but then repeats the same thing.

This sounds like a winning business plan.

Planet Fitness because it's the only one open 24 hours and I work out at 2 am.

It's alright, but it could have a bigger variety of machines.

I have a planet fitness membership. I got it so I would be able to keep running in the winter, so I hardly ever go in the summer months. I'm there usually 4-5 times a week in the winter though.


I'd probably go more often in the spring/summer/fall if they had a better variety of machines. I'd love for them to have a rowing machine. It's also a pain in the rear end because the closest one is a 15 minute drive from me. There are a lot of gyms closer to me, but for 10 bucks a month, I'll drive the extra bit. I wish they would open one on this side of town though.

Glad to see they're finally making progress on that Star Citizen game.

For content, I used to go to a fitness gym that I have now outgrown, but the only decent weightlifting gym in my area is going to be closed for the owners' annual vacation early August, so I'm waiting until they come back to make a membership, because I'm a cheap rear end in a top hat like that.

I used to go to planet fitness and you can get a decent workout there if you're not in great shape to begin with, just don't eat the free pizza and bagels like an idiot. Now I go to LA fitness and it's way nicer than PF because there are more weights and less dumb idiots sitting on a bench or machine for 45 minutes doing a million different low weight variations of the same exercise, also less fatbodies, so it makes me feel inadequate and I lift more

My gym has banned cable news and the Food Network from their TVs by blocking them on their cable boxes. Watching old men/fat ladies with the remotes get mad on the recumbent bike/treadmills always makes me happy. My girlfriend claims its because 2 old guys who go to the gym used to have Fox News and CNN in and try to argue with random people on the machines next to them about politics. And the Food Network was banned because the training staff didn't want to to see fatties tempted anymore than they already were, since Jimmy Johns and Pizza Hut opened up next door to the gym

i was at planet fitness this morning and i'm pretty sore from weights this weekend so i just did some cardio so i looked up how many stairs are in the empire state building, and started on the big stair machine thing really and in the 40 minutes i was on it like 3 rotund women cycled on and off the other machines like-- come on nancy, you've got to work more than 7 minutes at it

i thought the free pizza and bagles thing was just some joke until on the tour, the young lady earnestly told us about free pizza. my wife was like, "doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose" and we all decided to move on.

I will eventually do this once I have a decent garage or a basement.
