Planet Fitness, What's Your Thoughts, Good or Bad for The Fitness Industry

[Waterproof]

The Owner is a Genius, I will never knock a Person Hustle.

But Planet Fitness discriminate against a Certain Group of People, If you look a Certain way they discriminate or Harass You, They do not like Bodybuilders, They call us Lunks, Meatheads, there's no Squatting, You can not lift Heavy Weights because they say your intimidate the gym member's.

No other gyms does that, Gym is where people come together for one goal, to become stronger, fitter, better. All people who are different sizes

What Do You Think

 

[The Villain]

if you know what you doing you can go in there and achieve almost all of your goals, unbothered

it's just a place. you make it a good/bad experience based on how you use it

I have a dad bod so it's perfect for me.



My ass just goes there to check out the east african women and go ham on the elliptical.

Pretty much..I've been subscribed for a year and haven't had any issues getting thru my workouts or seen weird shyt happen

And OP I see people constantly squatting and dedicated lifters on the regular...I guess it depends on the one you go to cause the one i got to in DC(Ivy City) is in a "hip" area, plenty of young focused people and has a good amount of bad joints in there on the reg

I've seen jacked dudes lift there.

I think they discriminate against those dudes who be in the gym shadow boxing, rapping out loud in between sets, grunting like they're orgasming every rep, and slamming weights.

If you in there to just lift heavy weights without all that extra shyt, shouldn't be an issue.

I go to the one in Hyattsville, MD but it sucks and it's not 24 hours....still has old equipment from the Fitness Evolution that was there 1 year ago. Is the Ivy City one 24 hours and up to date on equipment?

I fux with PF cuz of the 360 room with the kettle bells, suspension trainers and pull up bar, cables, etc. You can get it in in that one room away from the members who might be more "insecure". Like breh said, there's some bad joints in mine too. And it's just $10

Pizza and tootsie rolls aside, it has its purpose.

I imagine it's a lot like a multi generational rec center, where they're appealing to people who are working out because their doctor told them they needed to if they wanted to see their grandkids, not people trying to get 'swole' or 'beach body ready.'

What annoys me is when people go there just to troll. If you already know what the gym is, why are you going there just to fukk with people?

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

I love it. They opened one up near my job so now my serious gym is a lot emptier. I do miss my PAWGs though

Yea its up to date and spacious...the staff does a good job maintaining the place from what i see...and yea it 24 hours which makes it dope, only thing that sucks is the parking garage can get hectic
I been to the one at PG mall and still go there sometimes cause my mans who works there gets me in....Its ok but tight in space...The equipment and place in general is def not as well maintained...the elliptical, bikes, running machine are shotty and outdated as fukk...half the damn locks on the lockers are broken lolll..I know they just opened a new 24 hr one by silver spring station if its close 4 u if you want to switch it up....

Either way for 10$ my expectations where not high to begin with...It gets the job done and damn sure get more bang for my buck than LA fitness...

The "fitness industry" doesn't revolve around Planet Fitness. There will always be hardcore gyms where bodybuilders and power lifters are pushing weight beyond normal, whether they are on the juice or not. The only thing I don't like about those gyms is getting chalk on your clothes from the barbell bars. That's about it.
PF is a competitor but won't shut down other established gyms. They aren't the only ones doing the '24/7, average joe, fitness club, business model'.

Do smith machine squats brehs

I mean the fitness industry is fukkery so it serves it well.

Yeah I've seen the Downtown Silver Spring location. That's about 5 miles from me but the closest besides PG Mall. I went ahead and transferred to that one this morning after doing the virtual tour, looks way better than PG Mall. And I like 24 hours since I might want to work out at 2am a couple of times a week.

I gave them 1 year to update the location and still looks like crap lowkey I think it's gonna shut down cause it's hella empty every time I go. People transferring to better locations with treadmills that work and lockers that lock lol

They not updating all the equipment and keeping all those cardio machines from Fitness Evolution, they only doing that cuz 95% of the members are Black and Hispanic lol

Went to my cousin's house a few days to visit and we was talking about the gym, he's into lifting also, we actually used to go to the same gym, but he moved across town and we haven't got in a session together in a long time.

So my cousin said he's off Wednesday, let's get a workout in, I said I'm Game and we can go to your gym

My Cousin looked at me like
You know I Go to Planet Fitness

And there's a No intimidation policy there

I'm going in that muthafukka swinging weights
