Why does Planet Fitness get so much shit around here? What's wrong with it?
Pros:
>Fucking everywhere so you can always go to the gym no matter where you are
>Memberships are INFINITELY cheaper than any "real" gym
>Same fucking equipment as "real" gyms
>qt cardio bunnies fucking everywhere
>free tanning beds if you're in to that
>Most of them are open 24/7
Cons:
>No pool
The fuck gives?
Bait
>>35393966
its just people wanting to feel superior
every cheap gym brand gets flag in every country man
>>35393975
How is it bait? I'm dead serious man. I have a PF membership and love it. The fuck more would I get out of a "real" gym if it costs more?
>>35393966
Oh I also forgot to mention the hydro massage, shits tight.
>>35393966
>same "equipment"
Outright lie.
Cons make no mention of the lunk alarm and casual faggotry of the place. You will never learn or get better from lifting with the most mediocre.
OP confirmed for PF shill.

So what are your lifting numbers then?
How much you deadlift?
>>35394006
>no mention of the lunk alarm
It's just fucking decoration. Nobody uses it.
Why the fuck are you grunting like a super sayan when you lift anyway? That shit looks autistic as fuck and you sound retarded.
>>35394015
Yeah to he honest that shit weirded me out too. 1st of the month they order pizza and everyone is welcome to a free slice. They don't force it on you though or even ask if you want some, they just put it on a table. It's cool if you're bulking bit I just ignore it.

Found the guy who has never squatted or deadlifted heavy
>>35394026
Not him but how is this relevant? PF has free weights just like other gyms.
>>35394037
See
>>35394032
>>35393999
No deadlift platforms? Sometimes no deadlifts at all depending on franchise ownership. What are your lifts to bw shilling so much?
>>35393999
You must be super ripped compared to the rest of us, post pic bro

You can't deadlift inside planet fitness silly

This is how we know you don't lift.

>He has to grunt while lifting because he's a little bitch
People like you always make me laugh when I go to the gym.
Also PF sucks.
>>35394068
pls post pictures and stats so we have a good visual to laugh at.
>>35394068
>go to the gym to improve and become stronger
>OP is not strong or getting stronger, refuses to even provide stats
>lol what faggots why do you even care y I gym??
Hmmm.
>>35394093
Lifting isn't a meme. Having to grunt and groan when you lift is.
>>35394087
>>35394101
What are your lifts that you faggots don't even have to breathe heavy or exert yourselves? I'll grunt all I fucking want, if it makes you uncomfortable eat a dick and stay at pf
>>35394109
>Implying you can't get strong at a planet fitness
Not OP but from what I understand they do have machines and free weights man. Just because you can't deadlift doesn't mean you can't buff up. Deadlifting isn't everything.
>>35394115
You'll make noise when you lift heavy. Any person legitimately doing heavy sets will set off a lunk alarm either with the weight or the noise from exertion. There is a different between being a faggot and a physiological reaction to help you tighten your core. You've obviously haven't got enough experience or even seen the difference. Pls post stats faggot and pics faggot.
>>35394052
>has free weights
The 2 I've been to have had dumbbells that go to 60lbs and 3 smith machines. No squat racks, no free barbells, no belts for weighted dips. Had leg presses but they were the cable kind that only go to 400lbs. It did have a pen where retards can do their circuit training though, so thats nice.
>>35394142
And I'll take your bitch ass in the locker room afterwards cakeboi. I'll show you what real grunting is.
No homo.
>>35394143
There isn't a single person alive that has actually gotten strong from dumbbells and isolation machines. It's why you see the same skinny faggots on them, never making progress, until they figure out how to pick up a bar.
>>35394172
>Constantly adding more weight on won't build muscle
Yeah I forgot you get stronger without ever putting on muscle.
>>35394183
>people who go to PF even increase the weight
Sure.
>>35394162
What's your bw anon? We need to establish a comfortable top/bottom.
No homo ofcourse...

This fucking board
>>35394199
Yeah because making generalizations sure is evidence. You can't fucking say that with a guarantee dude. Out there there could definitely be dudes making it at PF and then walking out to fuck your girlfriend in the ass while you deadlift and moan like a wildebeest.
I don't go to PF because they have fewer freeweights and the place is fucking filled with cardio shit, but you can't honestly say nobody can get stronger there. There are weights, if you move them you will build muscle.
>>35394158
>It did have a pen where retards can do their circuit training though, so thats nice.
That is nice. I hate people who circuit.
>>35394143

Exceptions don't prove the rule.
>>35394272
>>35393966
>Same fucking equipment as "real" gyms
Uhhh... no. The one by me doesn't even have smith machines, let alone squat racks.
>>35393966
Cons:
>Dumbbells top out at 75-80lbs
>No Barbells
>No Kettles
>No Squat Rack
>No Bench Rack
>No Preacher Curl Bench
>No Tractor tires to flip
>No Gains Phaggot
I'm sure there's more but this is stuff just off the top of my head.
Enjoy your Planet Fitness skinny fat twink gains for 2016.
>>35394318
do they even have free bars?
>>35394318
do alive lifts instead
Also wtf no super setting? I mean wat?
my complaints as a PF member
>no squat rack
>no benches
>no deadlifts allowed
>not enough smith machines when it's busy
>limited free weights
otherwise it's ok. it's cheap, not too crowded, and the staff are pleasant (tho all out of shape, kek)
basically if you're not autistic it's a fine option
>>35394253
Sure. But not many people who go there do. If they DO get stronger they likely end up switching to a gym that actually has the purpose of making you stronger. PF's purpose is to take money from people who just want to do cardio 2 times a week and give them the feeling that they're trying without accomplishing much.
>>35394183
Good luck putting on muscle with dumbbells. Take a year and use them only and report back on your results.
>>35393966
No barbells
No competitive atmosphere
>>35394272
LOL! You might not even be bait, but you're still a fucking autist.
>>35394354
I go to the gym to workout and get bitches to 'mire my gainz. Not to compete with another guy. That shits gay.
>>35394272
You forgot the ", I'm a" in between go and faggot.
>>35394375
>I go to a place packed with sweaty dudes working out to get grillz
>That shits gay
Yes, you are.
>>35394375
Even if you're serious that won't happen at planet fitness either
>>35394393
Not if I go to PF, nothing but cardio bunnies there brah. The treadmills and elliptical machines face the weights, I get mirin' bitches all the time.
>>35394413
>Why does this skinny weirdo keep rape staring at us
>What is he muttering to himself
>Is he taking pictures of himself in the mirror?
Yeah, it's not hard to imaging how your "workout" goes down.
>>35394266
most efficient full body excercise
>>35393966
I used to use PF. They have no barbels, DBs Max is 75lbs and set straight/EZ bars Max is 70lbs? I think. It's good if you wanna use only dbs and work hypertrophy. I wanna get stronger though because my job requires me to take people down daily. I go to Golds now, I get free classes, pool, PT sessions and I'm not the biggest hit in the gym anymore. Feels good.
>>35394318
kek
why stop these exercises? are they afraid of injuries using free bars? or is it promoting the 'don't ever feel insecure because you load up less weight than others'.
I just don't get it, this gym doesn't encourage growth. its for assholes to go to for an hour to talk with their friends while leg pressing 10lbs. healthy people lifting big should motivate you, not surrounded by people walking on treadmills watching TV on their iPad.
>>35394158
>weighted dips
O I am avin a lauf
>>35394272
HAHA this has got to be bait, right?
>>35394272
Suddenly this whole thread makes a lot of sense.
Stop being a stubborn retard and get a real gym membership
>>35394272
This is either bait or someone that is actually this defunct in self-awareness.
Please be bait.
>>35394489
> or is it promoting the 'don't ever feel insecure because you load up less weight than others'.
It's literally this.
>>35394489
They don't even want you to show up. Most PF locations have so many members that if most of them showed up each day, the entire place would be unusable due to the sheer volume of bodies. PF exists mainly for fat people to buy a year for dirt cheap in Dec for that NYR and then never show up after Jan. But hey, they can tell people they belong to a gym though.
For the few that actually show up, they offer lots of counter intuitive choices such as pizza and bagels. That shit kills the average normy with no willpower.
For the even less that resist that shit, they offer little in the way of actually equipment to lose weight. Jogging on a treadmill is a horrid way to get in shape. Ellipticals are a joke. Weight machines provide little gains for a beginner.
When it's all done, you end up with a place that actively hampers healthy. It's basically the diet soda of fitness.
>not taking advice from bigger, stronger dudes and sticking to PF's understanding of "fitness"
>making it
You stand at a crossroads young homosexual.

Are you fucking retarded? What better equipment is there to "lose weight" than fucking cardio machines?
>>35394922
Banging a cardio bunny instead
> Steal her gainz
>>35394922
HIIT with weights. A lot of the cals are lost during muscle repair.

Post your body plz
>>35394068
Literal DYEL.
>>35394032
>Why the fuck are you grunting like a super sayan
Because humans require necessary oxygen supply to fuel their body. Strenuous lifting depletes oxygen levels FAST and churns it into carbon dioxide FAST, so naturally you need to breath in and out harder to compensate unless you enjoy passing out.
>>35393999
You ppl could atleast try...
>check'd
>>35395011
curlbro confirmed
>>35394330
>using a smith machine
anon pls
>>35395359
Nah, I'm not impressive at all, but I'm not also not claiming to be while going to Planet Fitness. You should take a page from my book.
>>35395011
Doing very high rep sets with a barbell is god tier for losing weight. Doing power cleans into OHP for sets of 15-20 will do more than running your ass off. It's not as good for your heart and lungs sure, but for burning calories? Accept no substitute. Reason being it encourages burning fat while still maintains muscle, instead of encouraging your body to get rid of muscle it doesn't really need. It's anaerobic exercise as opposed to aerobic.
