Only thing I didn’t like about plant fitness is that they don’t have a bench press or any bars. They only have the squat racks which I don’t like because you have to align your whole body to it instead of just holding the bar the way you want to
Are you kidding me?! I live in a big city and the planet fitnesses are way to crowded! I'll see lines for smith machines and benches! And the people have no etiquette! They horde equipment and move shit all over. I keep finding benches in the 360 room of all places!
I love a quiet gym. No waiting for equipment, not having to ask when people are finished, being able to work at my own pace, and most importantly for me, having space around me to do some exercises (such as barbell rollouts or a poly workout).
Well idk what planet fitness ur going to must be a big one cuz I have to wait for stuff and the only 3 bench/squat thingies I forgot the name are always taken
@@joexfitness people hate planet fitness because it judges people in the “judgment free area” and they serve pizza and they have a unbelievable amount of treadmills finding something that isn’t a treadmill in the middle is a blessing
@@xaviidk The few locations I go to don't do the pizza thing nor have they ever done it. There's also nothing wrong with a damn slice of pizza, well, unless you have problems with your body. Nobody judges in there. They just don't want you to be in there screaming up a storm while other people are working on sets. The whole "lunk alarm" thing isn't automatic either, someone literally presses the button (asked employees) and none of my locations do anything regarding that alarm. Seems like its just a personal issue with others. But it shouldn't be.
If you're a competitive bodybuilder, powerlifter, strongman, or weightlifter then planer fitness isn't for you. For literally the other 95% of humanity that dont do that stuff it's a perfectly adequate gym. Just keep consistent with your training and nutrition.
@@teufelhund3801the dropping weights is explainable.When you drop you’re weights you’re not thinking of the surrounding people.let’s say you drop a weight and it hit the person next to you or you drop it on someone’s foot or even you’re own.It’s just for saftey I’ve seen it first hand dozens of times at work trust me it’s for safety but no one ever thinks outside the box as to why.
@JulioHernandez-vi9to Why the hell is someone have their hands in the machine? That would be an idiot move on that person, not the person lifting weights. Even in gyms with free weights (which planet fitness doesn't have), it would be absolutely moronic to stand close to someone doing something like power clings, or any other workout where people commonly drop weights. Also, any kind of slight weight drops on the machines can have some idiot planet fitness employee trigger the lunk alarm. Thanks for the comment, was rather stupid, and shows you don't know shit about planet fitness.

There are definitely some lifts you can't do, but there are alternatives for everything. If you're married to the idea of doing barbell exercises, it's not the gym for you, but they do have dummbells going up pretty high and fixed barbells for some accessory lifts. For bodybuilding, mostly fine. Powerlifters, absolute no-go. Athletes, depends what you're trying to train.
I love going to planet fitness because lots of people have the same fear so no one talks to anyone at my gym. Everyone keeps them self and I have really bad anxiety so I love it.
It definitely is nice but idk, personally I enjoy it more when I have a buddy or 2 w me, just makes the experience more enjoyable, I can push myself more if I conversate with my friends instead of focusing on the pain of trying to push harder and it's nice to have someone to motivate you
it is a good thing that my local pf is really chill. They couldn't care less about the way people dress or if they make noise while lifting. And I have never even heard the lunk alarm go off in the year I have been going. If only they had more than 4 smith machine or just got some free weight racks.
Quiet gyms are the best gyms. I love how tranquil it is. I’m pushing myself but it all still feels really peaceful. And I don’t like waiting for machines or weights or whatever.
I go to an anytime fitness near my house and it’s usually completely empty at 10 pm when I go except for maybe 1-2 other people on occasion. It’s awesome
I hated it. It was always packed and the machines were constantly full even if the ppl weren’t working out they would be sitting there on their phones. Like babes there’s a whole waiting area…oh and not to mention staff is incredibly unhelpful fit newbies I literally had to Google how to use X machine BEFORE ever trying to workout.
To be honest I only dislike it because its always super crowded, and normally I don't complain about types of people. But another factor is that its pretty common for a rowdy group of teens to get in the way or just be a nuisance. But my main issues is definitely how crowded it is
Planet fitness gets hate because their business model is to target people who will pay for a membership and not workout. Thats why it was quiet. But it’s really smart for them from a business perspective. Plus a lot of people who get too strong get kicked out and called “lunks.”
@@Itsselis all plant fitness do it they also have taco Tuesday and donuts and encourage cardio only while banning and publicly shaming you if you are muscly they do the donut and junk food stuff so if you do go their (most people who buy the membership don't ever go there s ok they make it hard to cancel) you gain weight then go back to working out in a infinite cycle till you give up after you give them every last penny all for nothing
Planet fitness is a great gym for the price. & great for ppl who don’t care for a pool, sauna etc. The one I attend is all new equipment, super clean & they have like low lighting so it feels like a vibe ✨
i dont think people hate PF for the gym itself, i think they hate the culture. with the lunk alarm, the pizza culture, and how its the gym everyone goes to when they're first starting a new years resolution for one week, it just seems like there are better options
The lunk alarm is rarely used in most location, the pizza day its only once a month and some locations do not do them and yeah, that applies to almost every public gym, its just that since planet fitness is cheap more people go there. The hate is really just dumb. you dont hate a location just because there are better options lmao or atleast you shouldnt.
@justduro1527 the existence of the alarm at all is stupid, the pizza day is goofy as fuck, and you're right; its a thing with all public gyms, but the one people go to is the one people go to, and that one is planet fitness. keep in mind that people who hate planet fitness do not go to planet fitness. it doesn't matter what actually happens there, it just matters how others perceive them, and in general, PF has just done a really poor job of branding themselves as anything but the place to workout for people who don't want to workout. to be clear, i dont personally hate them, i think the equipment is just fine and that you would totally get a normal and decent experience there if you wanted. but i do see why others would find PF to be a bit gimmicky and unserious
I can think a worst gym and that's LA fitness, it's not even a gym, it's just a hangout spot for juice heads and attention whores. The alarm shit is stupid, everything else is cool with me, I mean, who tf gets pissed off at a pizza party? That's just petty
@@mschuhlerthe idea of calling out people for being disrespectful and disruptive or even destructive is stupid? If it wasn’t needed it wouldn’t exist. Unfortunately people aren’t all kind and good in the real world
That's crazy how quiet it is at your place, the planet fitness and fit4less in my area is the most crowded gyms you'll ever see, near impossible to go during peak times 😅
People say its not a real gym because it lacks free weights and its cheap. But if you know what you're doing you can get a great workout there and its never packed. Its definitely an pretty decent gym or a great backup gym especially for the price.
People say they don’t like planet fitness because it’s not a “luxury” gym. I like it because all the machines are decent and it’s cheaper than other gyms and there are multiple locations that are 24 hrs which is convenient for my work schedule!
The colors! PF be dark inside too. The one near me is very small and aways packed. I moved to Vasa went back to PF then back to Vasa 😂 I need light and a sauna at the end of my hard work!
I used planet fitness for a few years and I had little to no complaints, asides from getting my stuff stolen once and staff not doing anything about it. Which is why I stopped going there.
I have been using PF for about 1.5 years now: - Maintenance is ass. Even high priority machines (which they only keep 1 of for some reason) will be out of order for 2-4 weeks because someone didn’t screw it together tight enough and a piece breaks. - Etiquette is usually rock bottom for a lot of people. And since its so cheap, you get a lot of middle/high school students coming through. - Only Smith Machines - Fairly restrictive weight ranges on some machines, dumbbells, and other free weights Price is amazing though, and you really cant beat it.
Bodybuilders and calisthenics people like me hate because there is no regular squat stations or bench racks they’re all smith machines which mess up your form on regular stations if you get used to the smiths
@@BagABonesJonesYT On the bench, smith machines definitely ruin your form. Your bar path should not be perfectly vertical on bench. That said, I think dumbbell bench is superior regardless. The lack of a squat rack is a much bigger problem. While the form may not be much different between a smith squat and a normal squat, it *is* better to have a free bar so that you're forced to balance the weight properly.
this one planet fitness almost 20 minutes away has the best lighting for photos and just an overall nice atmosphere and really clean and empty and i LOVE it. no fighting/ waiting for machines, only dumbbell hoggers occasionally (they grab like 4 sets and keep them under their bench until they’re done lol)
It's always packed here in south bend. Pull be taking the good machines and you have to use whatever is available. I just work out at home instead of going thru the hassle of never being able to use certain machines
Went to LA fitness for a while but it was getting to be too expensive. Switched to PF to find out they have the same brand machines lmfaoo they’re the same thinga
Planet fitness is a great place to workout, anyone can get in great shape working out there. I will say though, if I’m trying to max out I usually go to an old school type gym, something about the atmosphere brings out a primal version of me.

One time I drove by a planet fitness with a huge window and I saw a dude on the treadmill wearing, and I kid you not, a whole ahh scuba mask and oxygen tank.
It's an upper class vibe where everyone are more modest.. While a Golds Gym for example is more OG and similar to a highschool weight room! (50% Free Weights, Clanking iron, grunting and yelling, flexing in mirrors, and basically just everyone in their own zone doing what they want) Although that was 15yrs ago when I was a trainer, I haven't been in during the "PC/covid" era... I imagine it's changed like everything else.
The amount of people spouting false info about pf is ridiculous. The alarm is rarely rung, only if you're sitting there repeatedly throwing weights. No, you don't get kicked out for "having muscles that are too big", you don't get a pizza party, and yes, there are most definitely free weights. Pf is a great gym for your average joe, it's fit for everybody, it's not meant to cater to intimidating, large roid ragers, that's what crunch is for
@@jordanoliver2391They really don't, which tells me you haven't been to one. Also, if your only motivation for working out is seeing buff dudes, then stay home.
Been lifting heavy at planet fitness for about a year and a half. Great and clean machines and free weight selection and have never heard the lunk alarm once. Could be just my gym though.
The fast food of gyms, but the gymtimidation thing they are against there actually holds true. PF was the least intimidating upon entering each time. If you’re new to stepping inside a gym, PF is not a bad place to start
I think it also is because there’s usually a few within one city. So if you’re like me and lived near a trash one you immediately equate all of them as trash. I moved and the one near me now is WAY bigger. I haven’t been inside it since the apt I moved to has a gym but I’d imagine bigger building = more equipment
All PF needs is Dumbells past 75 and actual free weight racks. It would be the best gym out there. Lots of space, great machines. And usually people are chill.
Other than allowing grown men to shave and undress in front of children in the woman’s restrooms, I had no problems. But my daughters and I will not be back. I have a huge problem with any company, business that puts pedos above the concerns of children….

And I have never even heard the lunk alarm go off in the year I have been going. If only they had more than 4 smith machine or just got some free weight racks.
Quiet gyms are the best gyms. I love how tranquil it is. I’m pushing myself but it all still feels really peaceful. And I don’t like waiting for machines or weights or whatever.
I go to an anytime fitness near my house and it’s usually completely empty at 10 pm when I go except for maybe 1-2 other people on occasion. It’s awesome
I hated it. It was always packed and the machines were constantly full even if the ppl weren’t working out they would be sitting there on their phones. Like babes there’s a whole waiting area…oh and not to mention staff is incredibly unhelpful fit newbies I literally had to Google how to use X machine BEFORE ever trying to workout.
I've met plenty of down to earth people at planet fitness, not only do you get a decent workout but meet decent people.
Rao’s is fire. This man knows!!!
Why is this the first guy I've ever seen who seems like he fully has his life together
Freaking love pf . Go in the morning and itd be super empty !!!
To be honest I only dislike it because its always super crowded, and normally I don't complain about types of people. But another factor is that its pretty common for a rowdy group of teens to get in the way or just be a nuisance. But my main issues is definitely how crowded it is
when i went it was empty but i used their app to find how crowded it was which was a kinda cool feature
Planet fitness gets hate because their business model is to target people who will pay for a membership and not workout. Thats why it was quiet. But it’s really smart for them from a business perspective. Plus a lot of people who get too strong get kicked out and called “lunks.”
Everyone gangster until free pizza Sunday’s arrives
The lunk alarm there is annoying as hell they give out unhealthy food and the weights don’t go heigh enough
ngl you've never experienced it bro
I HATE the one near me.. they had a pizza party and that was my last straw 😤
Now i go to a powerlifting gym and its definitely worth the money
Yup environment really influences your mind
A pizza party at a gym??? Tf
@@Itsselis all plant fitness do it they also have taco Tuesday and donuts and encourage cardio only while banning and publicly shaming you if you are muscly
they do the donut and junk food stuff so if you do go their (most people who buy the membership don't ever go there s ok they make it hard to cancel) you gain weight then go back to working out in a infinite cycle till you give up after you give them every last penny all for nothing
@@iambird5875 that highkey gives me motivation to gain a bunch of muscle and go there for a day to set off the alarms.
@@iambird5875 that seriously makes me so mad lmao
Planet fitness is a great gym for the price. & great for ppl who don’t care for a pool, sauna etc. The one I attend is all new equipment, super clean & they have like low lighting so it feels like a vibe ✨
Dude I agree. It’s clean and cool in the summer. And the machines hit right.
i dont think people hate PF for the gym itself, i think they hate the culture. with the lunk alarm, the pizza culture, and how its the gym everyone goes to when they're first starting a new years resolution for one week, it just seems like there are better options
The lunk alarm is rarely used in most location, the pizza day its only once a month and some locations do not do them and yeah, that applies to almost every public gym, its just that since planet fitness is cheap more people go there.
The hate is really just dumb.
you dont hate a location just because there are better options lmao or atleast you shouldnt.
@justduro1527 the existence of the alarm at all is stupid, the pizza day is goofy as fuck, and you're right; its a thing with all public gyms, but the one people go to is the one people go to, and that one is planet fitness.
keep in mind that people who hate planet fitness do not go to planet fitness. it doesn't matter what actually happens there, it just matters how others perceive them, and in general, PF has just done a really poor job of branding themselves as anything but the place to workout for people who don't want to workout. to be clear, i dont personally hate them, i think the equipment is just fine and that you would totally get a normal and decent experience there if you wanted. but i do see why others would find PF to be a bit gimmicky and unserious
I think people hate it because it's cool to hate. Like most places, you can just go and not buy into the culture.
I can think a worst gym and that's LA fitness, it's not even a gym, it's just a hangout spot for juice heads and attention whores. The alarm shit is stupid, everything else is cool with me, I mean, who tf gets pissed off at a pizza party? That's just petty
@@mschuhlerthe idea of calling out people for being disrespectful and disruptive or even destructive is stupid? If it wasn’t needed it wouldn’t exist. Unfortunately people aren’t all kind and good in the real world
That's crazy how quiet it is at your place, the planet fitness and fit4less in my area is the most crowded gyms you'll ever see, near impossible to go during peak times 😅
People say its not a real gym because it lacks free weights and its cheap. But if you know what you're doing you can get a great workout there and its never packed. Its definitely an pretty decent gym or a great backup gym especially for the price.
People say they don’t like planet fitness because it’s not a “luxury” gym. I like it because all the machines are decent and it’s cheaper than other gyms and there are multiple locations that are 24 hrs which is convenient for my work schedule!
The colors! PF be dark inside too. The one near me is very small and aways packed. I moved to Vasa went back to PF then back to Vasa 😂 I need light and a sauna at the end of my hard work!
I used planet fitness for a few years and I had little to no complaints, asides from getting my stuff stolen once and staff not doing anything about it. Which is why I stopped going there.
I have been using PF for about 1.5 years now:
- Maintenance is ass. Even high priority machines (which they only keep 1 of for some reason) will be out of order for 2-4 weeks because someone didn’t screw it together tight enough and a piece breaks.
- Etiquette is usually rock bottom for a lot of people. And since its so cheap, you get a lot of middle/high school students coming through.
- Only Smith Machines
- Fairly restrictive weight ranges on some machines, dumbbells, and other free weights
Price is amazing though, and you really cant beat it.
"It was a little too quiet" yeah everyone is always scared of setting off the alarm from making the slightest sounds 💀
Bodybuilders and calisthenics people like me hate because there is no regular squat stations or bench racks they’re all smith machines which mess up your form on regular stations if you get used to the smiths
They don't even mess up form and honestly if someone was that worried about form then just use dumbells
@@BagABonesJonesYT On the bench, smith machines definitely ruin your form. Your bar path should not be perfectly vertical on bench. That said, I think dumbbell bench is superior regardless. The lack of a squat rack is a much bigger problem. While the form may not be much different between a smith squat and a normal squat, it *is* better to have a free bar so that you're forced to balance the weight properly.
@@KeterMalkuth I agree, but just in my experience the smith machine helped initially when my form on freeweight was struggling
As a member of Planet Fitness I am great full and thankful that you like PF being a influencer 🙂
"influencer"
this one planet fitness almost 20 minutes away has the best lighting for photos and just an overall nice atmosphere and really clean and empty and i LOVE it. no fighting/ waiting for machines, only dumbbell hoggers occasionally (they grab like 4 sets and keep them under their bench until they’re done lol)
I’m a strongman and a powerlifter, so planet fitness is a no go for me, but for bodybuilding it’s fine
They have the back machine at my gym lol
Planet fitness is the best gym. 24/7 and they’re everywhere. Some people are just gym snobs, paying $50 a month membership with a mid physique
It's always packed here in south bend. Pull be taking the good machines and you have to use whatever is available. I just work out at home instead of going thru the hassle of never being able to use certain machines
Went to LA fitness for a while but it was getting to be too expensive. Switched to PF to find out they have the same brand machines lmfaoo they’re the same thinga
damn bro is this your everyday life? Cuz it’s seems like a very chill and easy life
Ik lol is selling training program really make that much?
Planet fitness is a great place to workout, anyone can get in great shape working out there. I will say though, if I’m trying to max out I usually go to an old school type gym, something about the atmosphere brings out a primal version of me.
Real Talk:
A gym is a gym!
If you stay out of the gym gossip and drama, you’ll be just fine.
You’re there to get in good shape, not to be in “mess” and other nonsense.

2 words lunk alarm
Hr actually gets notifyed when its used, management is not supposed to use it.
Been going to multiple locations for 4 years and it’s never gone off.
@@PeterReynolds2042 try working real hard and act like a zombie (make alot of noise)
It doesn’t go off at my planet fitness😂 the other gyms in my town have rusted out plates and they’re always full and overpriced
That's four words
thats why leon edward has the most aesthetic physique
Wrong channel bro
My gym is my front porch, with the deer, bear, and bunnies as my trainers 😂
I just wish they had bigger ones like LA with multiple machines for the same muscle group and the machines that pivot as you move
One time I drove by a planet fitness with a huge window and I saw a dude on the treadmill wearing, and I kid you not, a whole ahh scuba mask and oxygen tank.
Interesting! Doesn’t seem like a bad way to get used to exercising with it
Planet Fitness offers pizza day, bagel day, and is against actually achieving a bigger body. Even gallon water bottles arent around.
My gym does not offer pizza, bagel, and allows gallon jugs as long as it has a screw cap.
@@theinotoriousmiles7715 well good for you sir.
@@purplehaze4942 indeed. It is very good.
It's an upper class vibe where everyone are more modest.. While a Golds Gym for example is more OG and similar to a highschool weight room!
(50% Free Weights, Clanking iron, grunting and yelling, flexing in mirrors, and basically just everyone in their own zone doing what they want)
Although that was 15yrs ago when I was a trainer, I haven't been in during the "PC/covid" era... I imagine it's changed like everything else.
With all the Calisthenics videos who needs to wait in line.
I just miss out on the experience on doing any sort of compound movements without the smith machine..😢
bro cooked fusilli and called them penne💀💀💀💀
Looks like rotini to me
I went to PF in my neighborhood for the first time yesterday and I actually liked it.
The pf row machines are actually cracked
The amount of people spouting false info about pf is ridiculous. The alarm is rarely rung, only if you're sitting there repeatedly throwing weights. No, you don't get kicked out for "having muscles that are too big", you don't get a pizza party, and yes, there are most definitely free weights. Pf is a great gym for your average joe, it's fit for everybody, it's not meant to cater to intimidating, large roid ragers, that's what crunch is for
I have yet to see a Planet Fitness with free weights. Dumbbells, yes. But no barbells, only smith machines.
Something people hate about it is that, if you are too muscular they call it "Intimidating" And they kick you out.
Yea or if ur big like u could go to court for discrimination now that I think abt it
No they don't.
@@crimdan6036 They do
@@jordanoliver2391They really don't, which tells me you haven't been to one. Also, if your only motivation for working out is seeing buff dudes, then stay home.
@@thatdude8884 It has happened to someone sure it wasn't me but it happened to someone else so say what you want but you are overall wrong.
I love Planet Fitness. It's convenient ane it's everywhere i visit in the U.S. and Canada
Been lifting heavy at planet fitness for about a year and a half. Great and clean machines and free weight selection and have never heard the lunk alarm once. Could be just my gym though.
Exactly bro I go to planet fitness I don't get y people hate it
I actually prefer the gym to be empty and less people and quiet if I had it my way🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣✋ . I don’t really wanna see nobody when I work out💀
The fast food of gyms, but the gymtimidation thing they are against there actually holds true. PF was the least intimidating upon entering each time. If you’re new to stepping inside a gym, PF is not a bad place to start
I think it also is because there’s usually a few within one city. So if you’re like me and lived near a trash one you immediately equate all of them as trash. I moved and the one near me now is WAY bigger. I haven’t been inside it since the apt I moved to has a gym but I’d imagine bigger building = more equipment
its because of the alarm
All PF needs is Dumbells past 75 and actual free weight racks. It would be the best gym out there. Lots of space, great machines. And usually people are chill.
Other than allowing grown men to shave and undress in front of children in the woman’s restrooms, I had no problems.
But my daughters and I will not be back.
I have a huge problem with any company, business that puts pedos above the concerns of children….
It's small and quiet and everyone is so nice and I never have issues with equipment.
nah I was at a planet fitness they didn't even have a normal bench it was all Smith machines 💀
The history of em isnt too good tbh
Honestly though. I went recently and I couldn’t believe how many good machines they put in there over the years
Client training, ig live, streaming, and going to the gym... this dude is crazy busy
Those aren‘t penne they are called fusilli :) greetings from italy😁
Planet fitness helped me get six pack abs. Now if only I could lose enough weight to see them 😂
Maybe it’s the Tacky Purple and Yellow Barney Work out with me Vibe? If they would have chosen a lime green gray vibe or black would look nice !
the gym and equipment itself isn’t an issue its the fact they charged me an annual fee 4 times in a year . annual meaning yearly
Empty? You’re at the wrong one
Still good though
