Been going for 2 years now because it's cheap, finally got money, thinking of upgrading. I made good gains here as well, it's just a hard decision evb hates on this gym

They have decent equipment at the locations I've been. The only down side is that it's filled with people that either don't know how to workout or just go to go through the motions of a workout. Sure another gym might have equipment better suited to someone serious but planet fitness is a OK choice. Just get a day pass at other gym's you are considering and see if you like them better.

This sums it up pretty well. If you know what you're doing you'll be fine but it's good to explore other options

Listen it's not the gym being the problem, it's the people in it. I never cease to be amazed by the amount of stupidity I see every time I go to basic fit. Yet I still get a good workout.

Works great for me but the people at the gym I go to is pretty good, plus since all the New Year's people is pretty much gone lol its fine

I'm really only thinking of moving because this gym does not have a lot of equipment. There's a really big LA fitness near me I might try that one

Planet fits business model is to be just cheap enough that people don’t feel like going in to cancel. Also their free weights are ass. They usually only have dumb bells that go up to 60-80.
It’s sorta a place you can start out at, but it’s really sucks if your are into lifting and not just a place to go run on a treadmill.

It's good enough for now.

Why should I care what other people are doing during their workout?

planet is nice it has everything you need. the people complaining Abt others doing crazy stuff need to just focus on their workout

You really shouldn't, but it is a de motivator for some people. It can be demotivating for me when someone is using a machine or bench I need or want but they're just sitting there not actually using it.
