    About canceling your card, you don't pay them through a card. You have to give them your routing number to a bank account so they can charge it directly. I reluctantly did it because the only other gyms near me cost like $40+ a month and some of them also want your routing number.

    I feel like most of these 'getting kicked out' stories and being 'too intimidating' complaints are pretty rare exceptions specifically due to poor staff. Also have never seen free pastries/food there. Not a bad gym for the price, and you can easily reach an intermediate level there pretty efficiently. Definitely the best option for someone new.

    I have joked with my gym buddy about how ridiculous the lunk alarm sign is and have gone in jeans many times without issue. But I can do my whole routine and that's all that matters. It's just a bunch of weight machines. You don't need a 5michelan star experience to work on yourself.

      That's the point, gyms want members that continue paying without ever showing up.

In contrast, if they only had members who never lifted, their membership capacity would be infinite.

    So many good points in the vid, although it’s a little overly unfair. It’s a good option to save money, but there are downsides because of the savings. When i had my membership, i’d want to go around 3-4 in the afternoon when i got off work, but that would be the busiest time of day and all the weights and machines would be in use. I cancelled after 4 months but i paid for fees and their “yearly fee” during that time so it was over $100 for a $10/mo. membership…

    Okay i might get hate, when i began my weightlifting and weightloss journey I loved planet fitness, very relaxed atmosphere, never heard the alarm go off, never seen anyone kicked out, even dudes weatin spaghetti strap tank top and never had donuts or sodas or any thing of the sort... The dumbells go to 75lb, which is waaay more than enough for a beginner. I was obese and weak, started on the stair master, then moved to free weights and bench. I never had an issue with anyone. It depends on the location. It is a great place for newbies to go, there's lots of equipment and weights, space, the equipment is clean and well maintained. If you're already shredded then yeah, probably wont do much, but for a newbie and for 10 bucks a month, it was amazing.

    When I turned 40 I wanted to get back in shape. All gyms looked confusing and not new person freindly. I found planet fitness and started going. It was the best choice I have made in a long time. If your a seasoned gym goer I am sure it is missing some items you like but for me a 40 year old out of shape person it gave me a place to go. A year later and I keep looking for a new gym closer that will fill my needs I dont see one. Planet fitness fills a need and should be talked about in a positive light. The negative only comes from rival gym nerds who want the people who would rather be at planet fitness then their gym at thier gym.. Its fake hate on a place that is helping people.

    No, planet fitness's model isn't to kick out anyone who intimidates weaker people, it's to keep the demand for the equipment in the gym low. If you keep getting new lifters and advanced lifters get kicked out, theres no reason to buy heavy dumbbells (which are the most expensive of course) or large amounts of plates. It makes it cheaper to start up and franchize a planet fitness, so it's allowed them to spread almost everywhere just like other franchizable business's like mcdonalds. And while they're highly franchizable (way cheaper than starting your own gym), they're also highly profitable simply because of the fact that this business model has attracted larger amounts of new lifters because of the cheap prices. then many of them end up quitting soon thereafter. All of the keep the greasy bodybuilders out was because of an ad campaign that they funded because of how franchizable the business is, planet fitness originally just wanted to give people cheap gym memberships, like what crunch is doing now.

    • @NUFCOfficial
      @NUFCOfficial Рік тому +2

      You're correct they just use the whole intimidation thing as a disguise but really they just have to cut costs everywhere. The problem that I have is that they actually contribute to people having gym anxiety when it isn't real... nobody is looking at you or cares that you are a beginner at all. Start at the lowest weight possible, learn the technique and work up.

The things I ever experienced was other customers like myself just staring each other down from across the room type shit lol. Or little posse's maybe being judgmental to other people at the gym. Then again this is just what I perceive based of looking at their body language. I could be totally wrong as far as them being judgmental so take it with a grain of salt.
