I can’t speak to that area but generally speaking I would base it on how you plan to utilize the equipment and amenities. For example Planet Fitness it usually better for people interested in cardio machines and “lighter” circuit/machine weight training whereas Crunch tends to also have more equipment to lift in a heavier/barbell direction.
Just starting out, pick something is convient to you. Either close to work or close to home. That way it's easier for you to actually go and not make an excuse to skip it. At your level, all the gyms will suffice as far as equipment goes. Once you narrowed your list down, I would check each gym out and see what it's like at the time you plan to go and get a feel for what equipment they have. Any gym without multiple squat racks should get tossed into the bushes
Appreciate the advice man. Right now I'm more so looking to shed weight so I'm more cardio-focused. My biggest concern with PF is the price tag. I'm not looking to spend an exorbitant amount of money but I don't want a bunch of fools just standing around "hanging out" in the gym either. Or is that an issue regardless of the price tag?
My long multiple day fasters....what yall dumps look like?
They still solid? Yall have movements regularly or do they come to a hault when you fasting?

Depends, I don’t imagine most gym bros will be hanging out at the cardio machines. PF’s demographic really isn’t that group anyway. It would come down to an individual location but I doubt it would be an issue at PF.

That's the wrong type of mindset imo. You should not be worried about what other people are doing in the gym. Focus on getting a good workout in. As someone who has used pretty much all the commercial gyms, you're going to run into some of those types regardless (LA Fitness was the worst I experienced). PF gets a bad wrap(some of it is deserved) but as someone who has used it quite a bit, it's not as bad as people make it out to be. For someone just starting, it won't hold you back too much. Just focus on getting in, working hard, and getting out.
