I picked Anytime Fitness as my gym and I never attempted to join another one. I can go to any location with my fob anyway.

I think a few years ago you could have multiple different gyms at the same time.
Yeah at one point you could go to any gym brand(any location) for the $28 which is what I thought you were saying. They changed it I think a year or two ago

Although from what I’ve read there are other alternatives.

Anytime Fitness is better. Usually has free weights, a power rack, weight lifting machines, and cardio machines. Sure it cost more but people need to invest in their gym membership or risk falling off going.

Planet Fitness is damn near a scam designed to target low commitment gym goers with a monthly $10 fee. They put up obstacles to cancel your membership and set the fee low as they hope you stop going but keep paying. They try to create an atmosphere that honeypots people who will easily stop going to the gym that’s why they lack crucial equipment real gym goers want. They don’t want real gym goers there.

There’s no need to be nervous about going to exercise. Nobody cares who’s there.
For someone who travels a lot planet fitness has been a blessing. They have 2700 locations worldwide. First thing I look for when traveling is to see if they have a PF

I need that hook up on the alternatives

They changed the program and it aint the same

I was a member of like 6 gyms in my area so I can just switch up - 3 of the gyms cancelled me but I am still able to get into 2 which is odd bc I thought you can only do one at a time

When you use the $28 at Anytime Fitness you get access to all their locations at the very least. I go to 4 different Anytime Fitness locations.

Thing is I like not being restricted to a specific gym chain. Even now I don’t like going to the same LA fitness back to back days lol. It makes things not too routine

That ability to hit a LA one day then Anytime the next is dope :manny:

There is another program that’s like $20 has planet fitness, anytime & a few others. It just don’t have LA. I think they may be in another purchase option but I gotta check

My Anytimes have different equipment because it's a franchise owned model and the owners buy different equipment. That's why I go to different ones because some of them have equipment the other ones don't.

Which is fine & dope for you. I like the feeling of just being able to go to any gym in proximity of where I’m at :manny:

That sounds pretty expensive to maintain different gym memberships at multiple gyms just to be able to go to random ones not under the same parent company. These 24 hour gyms mostly have LifeFitness cardio equipment and lifting machines to begin with. Unless you could get a YMCA type full gym with a pool and basketball court those other ones are mostly the same.

Nah the old health plan was like $28 a month to any gym.

The new one is $19 but missing a few spots I like
