Ask a guy who just got a Planet Fitness Black Card membership anything
>>35802939
why?
>>35802950
24/7
Cheap
Hydromassage has been doing miracles for my lower back pain
Free tanning so I can look more tone
Plenty of cardio equipment
One location near my work another near home
Free bucket of tootsie rolls so I can get some simple carbs post workout

>Free bucket of tootsie rolls so I can get some simple carbs post workout
Fucking Tootsie Rolls saved my workout tonight. I always do 30 minute intense minutes on the stair climber before I begin lifting. Some reason tonight I felt like ass after. Grabbed a handful of Tootsie Rolls & was able to return to my workout like a beast. After all these years of never taking the Tootsie Rolls.
TOOTIE ROLLS SAVED MY LIFE.
>>35802939
white card is fine with me cause its even cheaper
hows the hydromassage thing
>>35802939
>>35803015
>>35803057
retards enjoy your no gains
>>35803057
Dude its the best fucking thing on earth, you can try to use it. Just sign those clipboards and grab the tag above it. They never ask to see my ID card, half the people who work there are dyel teens who don't give a shit.
>>35803078
how does a gym give u no gains
>>35803101
true, next time i am sore ill hit that up
>>35803118
Or just say you're considering upgrading to Black Card and wanna test it out, repeat with each employee.
Its life changing, even on my off days I go in to use it.
>>35803142
so why do people say what this guy says
>>35803078
>>35803015
>i always do 30 minutes intense stair climbing before i start lifting
lol what
>>35803078
>>35802939
planet fitness has limited equipment but its cheap enough to have it as a dual membership if you have one closeby
its 70% female ot male ratio, all the dudes are weaklings so you get all the attention, and the rest of what the OP was saying about the small perks. Gym is always clean and really well maintained. The only problem with the gym is for really heavy days for seasoned lifters, and doing legs can be challenging because of the lack of variety. Dumb bells go up to 75s, so it's enough weight for high volume workouts or for people with only a year or two lifting under their belt I guess. I grunt all the time and am decently loud with weights, but they rarely care. Only got lunked once for flexing in the mirror and when I looked at the front desk they were just giggling about it.
>>35803194
hes probably fat and wants to lose weight, but still, should save it for after lifting
>>35803158
Are you even trying to speak english
>>35803158
Are you completely unaware of how Planet Fitness markets itself? It actively discourages self improvement and shows prejudice toward anyone interested in serious lifting( removing squat racks ,banning ordinary gym behavior etc.) and punishes those who are serious lifters.
>>35803233
They literally just ask you not to drop weight and make birthing noises. If you can't help from doing either of those you might have autism.
Who cares if they make a killing off fatties, those fatties are keeping the prices low so I can lift on a budget.
>>35803233
I know that they do that shit but don`t people just use the gym for their equipment. Unless people go to the gym for something else i`m missing
>>35803251
this guy explained it better than me
>>35803251
The weights you can drop also only go up to 75 lbs; if you can't control that then post a pic of your feet and pussy because you're a girl.
>>35803233
or maybe planet fitness business model isnt built around serious lifting at all. have you ever considered that?
>People on goddamn /fit/ seriously defending Planet Fitness
Have I entered fucking bizarro world?
how much is a membership anyways? everybody always says its cheap, but I've never seen the price.
Personally I think it is a good starter gym for the first one or two years
>>35803306
>2015+1
>still believing the "planet fitness is bad" meme
shaking my head desu
>>35803342
$10
>>35803342
$10 for the basic, $20 if you hate money
>>35803306
>hating on planet fitness
lmao bro ur so cool whats ur curl max:)
>>35802939
i go to a fit4less which is the Canadian version. I can squat all i want 24/7 and i have unlimited access to massage chairs hydro bed and tanning for 20/mo
>>35803354
PSSSHHHH! sounds pretty fucking gay
this is the gym i go to and its only $10/mo.
plenty of squatracks and machines, and none of the judgmental assholes.
>>35803306
PF is god-tier. Stfu.
>>35803397
>judgemental assholes
>judgement-free zone
son, you might have autism.
>>35803390
Hydromassages are godly. 15 minutes on them is never enough.
>>35803397

woops! forgot the link.
the owner is an older muscular dude. he's pretty cool. Open 24/7 too.
There's actually no PFs around here, but there's a chain called Freedom Fitness which is the same price for membership and doesnt have all the retarded rules
>>35803424
i personally go on the chair for 15 minutes then the bed for 15. My back feels fine after that. I also squat over 4 plate for reps when im there and no one has ever said shit. they dont have a lunk alarm like the american one though

>>35803424
>look at all this not judging that's happening against a strong guy!
Stop making yourself look foolish
>>35803468
It basically just means dont be an autist or some crazed rich piana.
Planet Fitness is literally for stupid+poor casuals who have no idea what they're doing and don't care about legs. In a way, I'm glad that they exist desu because it lures you retards in and keeps you there so my gym isn't filled with more DYEL's. Again, enjoy your no gains after 4 months of lifting you poorfags. Those leg extensions, ellipticals, and 75lb dumbell bench presses might get you to entry level ottermode at best.
>>35803468
>offended by something
Go back to tumblr buddy
>>35803447
I had terrible posture and extremely tight hammies from sitting at the computer for all of my teen year, hydromassage helped so much.
>>35803491
>Being so mad he typed out an entire paragraph
Cool story, lunk.
>>35803498
The whole reason PF even exists is because of people getting offended.
I hate to believe that there's actually people this stupid trying to make valid arguments
>>35803491
im stronger than you
>>35802968
>
So is 24hr fitness, and they have free weights and don't hate you.
>Cheap
You get what you pay for.
>Hydro blah blah
See a doctor you nincompoop
>Free tanning
If you step outside and look up, you will notice a source of free tanning. Please continue to stare.
>Plenty of cardio equipment
Like every other gym ever?
>Close
Lazy.
>Tootsie Rolls
And fat.
>>35803711
>you get what you pay for
it's more than enough
>See a doctor
wtf? you mean a massage therapist? Do doctors give massages now?
>if you step out side and look up....
ya 1 sec let me just take all my clothes off in -20
>Lazy
ya to conserve my gains
>fat
you mean bulking.
tfw i met my qt gf at PF when i started lifting and she was still chubby
>>35804008
you came in like a reking ball
>>35803491
>Those leg extensions, ellipticals, and 75lb dumbell bench presses might get you to entry level ottermode at best.
By that time, PF will have served it's purpose as a starter gym and the entry-level otter can move on to a real gym if they're willing to spend a little extra.
I know you're shitposting, anon, but you might want to try leaving out why PF is actually good for a new person.
>>35803233
>serious lifters
>screaming, throwing the weights around, carrying a gallon milk jug full of tap water, wearing string tank tops
Serious autism more like.
>>35803491
>Planet Fitness is literally for casuals
Fixed that. So are 70% of gyms in any major market. Why hate on Planet Fitness? It's like saying McDonald's has a monopoly on cold shitty food. I promise the Burger King next door sucks just as hard.
>>35803269
this. barbells only usable for curls maybe and smith machines. where the fuck do u need to drop weights then?
PF is a dank meme, I like that it makes so many people legit mad.
I just got a membership to Gold's, this good?
I tried out my local PF before, old people hogging shit and talking while just sitting on equipment, too many people in general making it a pain to get anything done, lunk alarm pisses me off. I gotta drive 12 more minutes for Gold's but god damn it's worth it desu.
>this fucking thread
>all you cucks contributing to a business that celebrates mediocrity
seriously, why?
I go to PF almost every night. Empty. The one I go to has a variety of machines And a large free weight area I go at night so the guys that work there are really cool. There is literally not a single bad thing about it.
[spoiler]The guys at the desk were teaching some people how to deadlift properly.[/spoiler]
>>35802939
When are you going to stop convincing yourself you are going to make it, you gigantic faggot.
TOPKEK LOLOLOL
What the fuck is this thread. You can't OHP or PC at this gym. It is not a useful place to go to work out. Do they even have a power cage for barbell lifts?
>>35804008
The docs used to give massages on penis inspection day at my school
>>35802939
there is only one question for this fucking idiot
DYEL?
>>35803105
A gym doesn't, you'll find that out when you join one.
Why can't some you accept the PF is enough for some people and their respective goals?
>>35808860
I used to fail penis inspection every time at school, I still dream about it and get anxious
>>35803233
Somebody dunk this lunk
>>35808915
how?
they usually just give you a look and a tug and your done
>>35803208
>gym where nobody works out hard and nobody understands fitness
>70% female
Well that makes sense
>>35802939
Wtf is a "black card"? Do they have different memberships?
>>35803158
PF literally advertises themselves as "not a gym" and is for people that would rather eat pizza (they have free pizza once a week) than work out. They ran a while ad campaign making fun of people who are in shape or who take fitness seriously
>>35806266
I got a membership at Gold's when I started lifting in November and regret it. It's the closest gym to my apartment which is good but it's often crowded and feels like a goddamn meat show since everyone is dressed to the 9s in namebrand fitness apparel. Chicks coming in taking selfies, gaggles of faggot-ass college aged kids doing a 50/50 split of work/talk around the racks and benches.
I started bringing my own 2.5s because if I didn't I'd have to hunt around for some in the lifting area which has weights of all values scattered around racked and on the floor.
honestly I wish I had shopped around a bit more and checked out one of the local gyms, especially one with a team usa registered weightlifting coach. My free PT session at Gold's was some shithead telling me to never bring the bar below my chin during OHP
>>35809623
>feels like a goddamn meat show since everyone is dressed to the 9s in namebrand fitness apparel.
Not gonna lie, I'm an obese fuck right now getting my life together and shit and starting with my body. Those people dressed like that I like because I want to look like them instead of the fat mass that I am now, kinda like inspiration of some sort. Everything else is the opposite, not crowded at all and tons of equipment to go around, it's great.
How do you do power cleans (cleans in general) and power snatches (snatches and stuff like that)?
With power snatches the wide grip simply doesn't allow to put the weight on the floor quiet?
