I'm super-grateful for my PF Black Card. I drive truck OTR, and if I'm in an area where there's no truck stop, the first thing I do is search for a Planet Fitness. Being a solo lady driver, I prefer the ones that are located in malls with big parking lots because they allow trucks to stay overnight. I always feel safe in their lots because their usually very well lit and people are coming and going throughout the night.
If anyone is retired, most insurance plans offer seniors the basic with fitness centers free. With planet Fitness you only pay $11. Monthly for the Black card membership. Plus they are open 24 hours. I use them in every city I travel. Always very neat and clean facilities.
WOW 🤩 I had planned to do this long ago but after hearing all the perks about the Black Card I’m def gonna do it . Thanks ! They should hire YOU to do their ads and commercials ⭐️🤩⭐️
The black card is the best. I believe if you have the other membership you can’t use it at multiple gyms. Also it’s good to have more than one different gym memberships such as “Anytime Fitness, 24 hour fitness and In-Shape for examples just in case if you’re not near one or the other ❤😊
Thank you for the heads up. So the Black card is the way to go. I'm not on the road yet but it inspires me to get one asap and to check it out! Thank you Bunny! XO
I ran across your skooliepalooza vid and was so into your passion n enthusiasm. After watching this Planet fitness vid I had to subscribe.Again I enjoyed your passion and so loved your enthusiasm along with honest information for those who might need it. I so look forward to your future vids. One last thing any spelling errors (oops). As I always say and mean May Peace Health and Happiness follow you and yours
Oh very nice! I do appreciate the fact that you mentioned this so that others can find out a little bit more about this because I had no idea they offered it either
Thank you for sharing!!! My gears are turning now, cuz I think I'm gonna ask my husband if he would be interested in going as my guest if I get a membership !!?? Lol have a wonderful day Bunny!
Something else to keep in mind for seniors. Medicare gives you access to Silver Sneakers, and Silver Sneakers gives you FREE access toost major gym systems, including Planet Fitness. That's regular membership at every Planet Fitness so it doesn't have all the perks that a black membership card gives you, but it lets you shower and workout in ANY planet fitness. It's also any YMCA, Anytime Fitness, rec centers in any town or city, and so forth, and it's ALL free anywhere you travel to so it gives you even more places to go.
Please do not confuse real Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans which are run by insurance companies. Silver Sneakers is offered by some Medicare Advantage plans and not by Medicare. Yes, gym memberships can be a nice perk but if you don't enjoy fighting with an insurance company for pre-approval of procedures or treatments especially for cancer don't sign up for Medicare Advantage. Real Medicare does not require pre-approvals or limit the doctors or hospitals you can use.
@@sjbockyou have that backwards, Silver Sneakers is part of original medicare, but it's NOT covered by all advantage plans. And you MUST have Medicare A AND B to have Silver Sneakers.
I love my black card but we have had some issues with a few locations having hot water. In the winter it really sucks when the water is just minimally warm Provo Utah is REALLY bad. We stopped going to that area much because the hot water really sucks, but we have had that issue in a couple of other locations.
Thanks for the info! ❤️ Ive been thinking about doing this. 1) need to work on my arm strength, shoulder and hip movement, 2) $40 a month for showers is getting expensive.
I learned that you can transfer your home membership to another PF gym… you just have to keep it as your new home gym for 3 months before you can transfer your home membership to another gym. That could help you if you have to cancel your membership at some point.
That may be true for some of the branches however others will not acknowledge the transfer. This is what the employee was telling me and unless you have called in advance, you will never know. That is what we come super problematic, which is why I definitely wanted to let everyone know what the employee directly had said.
Great deal for travelers, even just for showers. Not big on exercise equipment; would prefer to hike and bike beautiful trails, and get my exercise the natural way! 🚴♀️🥾
i have a question: how loud is planet fitness (my plan is to do car life and i need need to know this to know if i can or not) also do there normal treasmills go at walking (this isnt important at all but id prefer to be able to walk at night and there is no way im gonna walk outside at night)
The Planet Fitness contract states that you may only use a non-home base gym 10 times in a month. If used in excess of 10 visits they may charge $ 5.00 per visit.
Most nomads don't run into this issue because realistically speaking those who are more stationary use one location regularly and those who are on the move don't use it more than 10 times a month.
Lol, thinking that you will be able to cancel Planet Fitness in person... Most of the time you have to talk to a "manager" to cancel. From the horror stories I read, some locations they are there for maybe a couple hours 3 days a month, and you're always told that you missed said manager by a day or two. Planet Fitness is notorious for this.
Does it matter which gym is your "home" gym? I've heard that you can only use other gyms (that aren't your home gym) like 10 times per month. Is this true?
I will say make your home gym the easiest one for you to access. Should you ever need to cancel. If that means that you have a basecamp, I would get one closest to that location so if you do for some reason need to cancel you will be able to without having to drive halfway across the country.
I do not recommend doing that.. many of the Planet Fitness locations have really cracked down on that... if you are in a community with a Planet Fitness instead look for a Cracker Barrel to sleep at.
I didn’t include my link because I don’t want anyone to think that I’m benefiting from this video. I prefer just to give the information so that people can be able to have useful things versus always getting a cut of it. So, even though I could give a referral code, I decided not to just because I want people to know that I honestly believe this is a good idea versus just want to benefit off of it.
I mean as long as you’re not being weird they don’t care if you’re going into shower they don’t ask you if you’re working out or not a lot of times also with the black card membership you have access to the tanning so sometimes people do that it’s really about just going in there and being a nuisance. As for shaving, I’m not sure exactly how that works for men. I’m assuming people shave at the gym with women. Everything is done behind the closed doors of so it’s not that big of a deal.
I'm sorry to offer up any negativity, but in case the excessive use of hand gestures puts other people off of watching your channel, I thought I would mention it as constructive criticism. It is very distracting. But I gave a thumbs up on the content!
I understand your constructive criticism however, this is part of who I am. I have determined that if someone comes to my channel is interested in my contacts that they will be interested, and who I genuinely am I supposed to repressing myself into being a shell of who I am. One of the things that traveling the way I have has taught me is that it is very important to be your authentic self so while I do understand your constructive criticism, that will be one thing that never changes with me.
I never seen a nice one until your video. Hey can you change your home gym if you move to another state and want to quit or do you drove all the way back to the state you left. You may have answer that but I missed it.
Sometimes I do… I think that that’s the thing that I don’t show because it’s no one‘s business. What kind of working out that I’m doing however, this video is not about my workout. It was about the option of having a shower and I think that more people should understand that this is an option whenever they are at the gym, whether they are in or not
In southern California it's the favorite of unauthorized immigrants. I lock my shoes and some clothes in a locker. Then take take a waterproof or resistant bag with car keys and wallet into the shower stall. A nomad does not want to let those out of sight.
I think discretion is important at every place that you go to, no matter where it is located in the United States. I think also that there are a lot of precautions taken at these places to keep things from happening to its members. For example, for us to go into a Planet Fitness, we have to scan in without that scan. You are not authorized to go to the bathrooms at all. So the likelihood that it is someone who is not supposed to be there being in the locker room, at least with our experiences has been nonexistent. There are a lot of shady people out there and immigration status really doesn’t matter on that. I have seen people of all tones and all backgrounds who have had the ability to also be shady and dishonest.
@@BunnyPlaysHere I guess I was editorializing a little. But having a scare once while not being able to find my wallet after showering at a KOA over 2000 miles from southern California a few years ago scared the hell out of me. I learned that I'd have to travel back to California to replace my license. Then there were the two credit cards, America the Beautiful pass and other things. Fortunately the next morning I went to the managers office and someone had turned the wallet in, along with the $80 cash. I wouldn't discount the possibility that someone who is a member of PF may be looking for an easy picking. They didn't do a background check on me. Long as my payment doesn't bounce I'm good. Everyone knows the one place there are no surveillance cameras is the shower and restroom area.
No problem! I believe that everyone needs to get out there and explore the world and have the base knowledge to do so so that they can feel comfortable and confident.
Planet Fitness certainly gets a lot of business from van lifers and campers, I know that they are so grateful.

This was so helpful. Thanks for providing the in-depth information. You’re such a ray of joy. I love your content.
Planet Fitness should give you a discount or merch for this!! 💜
Great explanation of the app- we have the app- never have explored it!
Nah it is me helping my community just to help no expectations required
Great information. I love that you break things down for us. Bunny you’re awesome.
Just got a PF in Calgary Canada. Signed up for the Black Card and I love the gym but the massage chairs and hydro massage beds are amazing perks.
absolutely!!!
WOW 🤩 I had planned to do this long ago but after hearing all the perks about the Black Card I’m def gonna do it . Thanks ! They should hire YOU to do their ads and commercials ⭐️🤩⭐️
Great info! This is what I plan to do when I start traveling full-time, for sure.

I had heard of the Black Card but I did not know it had so many perks. Thank you for another informative video.
no problem!!!
Wow, I had no idea!
Signing up tomorrow!
Thanks!
Absolutely this is one of the best ways to keep up with showers on the road. So many locations to use and very handy.

Welcome to the channel!! I love to share things in hopes of inspiring others to get out snd live more fully!!
I was wondering about a camping meet up for women. How do I get connected.
Thank you for going into detail about their memberships! Good information to know!
☘️Blessings☘️
You are so welcome this is something that a lot of nomads use but never really chat about all the extras with!!
I bought a year in advance (which they do not advertise). Another expense to not have to worry about while stealth camping
Oh very nice! I do appreciate the fact that you mentioned this so that others can find out a little bit more about this because I had no idea they offered it either
Thank you for sharing!!! My gears are turning now, cuz I think I'm gonna ask my husband if he would be interested in going as my guest if I get a membership !!?? Lol have a wonderful day Bunny!
Thank u, answered my many queries in 1 shot. Very informative. 👍👍
I tried to cover as many of the questions I receive about this in a single video to allow others to understand what a wonderful resource this is!!!
I am sure it is convenient - I would suggest though bring a can of Lysol in with you just to spray fixtures and hard surfaces you use.
Great information Bunny, safe travels🤗💕
Thanks for that.
I appreciate your going through all of that to explain the perks.
Gonna have to get one now, woohoo!!!
They have the best rates.
Yes... in comparison to other gyms they do!!
Very informative! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the explanation. Much appreciated...
Yep...got one (B Card) and loving it!
👍👍🤠🙏cool 😎 thanks for sharing

With Silver Sneakers I can use the basic amenities at any Planet Fitness gym nation wide ?
@@williamjewels8180 yes! You will need to get a card for each one, but yes, unlimited basic access nationwide! It's seriously cool and handy!

Thnx Bunny.....So helpful...for the many...newbies
Very nice video
Thank you! I just hope it’s helpful to everyone
Thank you. ✌️🙂
Good stuff. Thank you!
You are so welcome!!! It is such a great asset to us all!!
Yes, it is @@BunnyPlaysHere. I'm enjoying it very much.
Thank you for these details! It is quite helpful.
Good job on this Bunny, it was very informative. Thanks
Thank you!! My goal is to share the info about it because so many don’t realize what all they offer

As a Disabled Marine Wanderer, #PF is My Number One Shower Shoe Home lol
Welcome to Phoenix!!! Welcome To Arizona!!!
i have a question: how loud is planet fitness (my plan is to do car life and i need need to know this to know if i can or not)
also do there normal treasmills go at walking (this isnt important at all but id prefer to be able to walk at night and there is no way im gonna walk outside at night)
Depending on the time of day you are there it can be louder but typically not anything to crazy during off hours.
The Planet Fitness contract states that you may only use a non-home base gym 10 times in a month. If used in excess of 10 visits they may charge $ 5.00 per visit.
Most nomads don't run into this issue because realistically speaking those who are more stationary use one location regularly and those who are on the move don't use it more than 10 times a month.
$5 isn’t too bad after the 10th visit. Thanks for answering that question I had 😊
Depends on what the dirty time is...
Lol, thinking that you will be able to cancel Planet Fitness in person... Most of the time you have to talk to a "manager" to cancel. From the horror stories I read, some locations they are there for maybe a couple hours 3 days a month, and you're always told that you missed said manager by a day or two.

I thought the guest was only allowed at your home gym? Can you now have guests at any Planet Fitness you visit?
Nope you can have your guest come with you to any location that you’re on the road at you can only have one guest per visit, however
Lololol why can't we be here for " this part"?
😂😂
What about parking and sleeping over night in the parking lot?
I do not recommend doing that.. many of the Planet Fitness locations have really cracked down on that... if you are in a community with a Planet Fitness instead look for a Cracker Barrel to sleep at.
I might be signing up soon. Wanna refer me so you get benefits?
I didn’t include my link because I don’t want anyone to think that I’m benefiting from this video.

@@BunnyPlaysHere I understand that. But I think your enthusiasm makes it clear that you're not just in it for money :P
Hi. So the employees don't care if someone is going to their gym just to shower? Also, do people shave there too?

As for shaving, I’m not sure exactly how that works for men. I’m assuming people shave at the gym with women. Everything is done behind the closed doors of so it’s not that big of a deal.
I lOVE PF… The only downside is you can only visit another fitness center 10 days a month before they want you to switch to their home gym. 🤦♀️
This never is really a problem for us because we move to different gyms
@@BunnyPlaysHere that’s great! I typically stay for a while that’s why I mention that. Just an fyi for those who stay longer in certain areas. 👍
I’ve only seen one van lifer actually use the gym part . Why is this ?
I live in Colorado and the Planet Fitness close to the Denver Metro area are not the best!
The ones in colorado springs were very nice
Read their rules. If you use other PF gyms that is not your PF home gym more then 10x a month you can be charged a fee.
I don’t use it more than that I use this as one of the supplemental places for showers

Eww, Ouch, Harsh. Don't think ment to be
The one in VA is not that nice.
Thats no fun! I know they have very different layouts from each location
I never seen a nice one until your video.
Hey can you change your home gym if you move to another state and want to quit or do you drove all the way back to the state you left. You may have answer that but I missed it.
Was this video sponsored by Planet Fitness?
Or just cancel your card
Pro tip: Maybe you could actually work out on your way to the shower. Your blood sugar will thank you.
