Why is Planet Fitness hated so much

[DrunkenNovice]

I have a confession....


I have a membership at planet fitness

My main complaint is lack of equipment. They also have crazy rules. I see people do this

but I can't do weight dips/pull-ups?

and the DB's at mine only go up to 60lbs.

as far as if its going to work for you really depends on your goals

I'm on my way out if I'm able to find something decent near my place. I have a workout facility at work that is pretty much as good as PF just a lot less equipment.

I was a member at one, it was right across the street from my house, so it was real convenient. Problem was, every time I would go in there, I never felt like I was getting a real good workout. There was like 4 Smith machines, and a couple benches with barbells. Wifey and I got a two for one deal, so she still goes there. I'll only use them if I feel like I need to go do some cardio or something. I don't think every PF enforces their so-called rules, though. I've seen some brolic nikkas deadlifting and squatting in there, even though it's on the Smith machine.

that's why

i belong there, im just a casual lifter but the place is soft as fukk. went there with my friend n he was deadliftin, an attendant came over n told him it wasnt allowed

place caters to low self esteem, theres a poster on the wall with some gay mission statement about how you wont be judged and feel free to be yourself

..its pathetic...there's one in my work plaza...ill be damned if i ever go into it

I grab a handful of those every time in there, even if I ain't there to work out. One time I went in there to drop off some keys with my wife while she was working out since I was leaving the crib, so I stopped at the front desk and got two paws full of them joints. I don't know if there's a limit, but the lil chick at the desk was like And I just looked back like

Don't forget the pizza nights and bagel mornings they be having. Hustling at it's finest. keep em fat so that they ain't got the heart to go to a regular gym, then tell em, "you can work out here, we won't judge you... here, have another bagel, nikka... You safe here" Sounds like something out of a pimp manual.

I'm starting off by going there cuz it's cheaper than the other ones around. Once my money starts to look better and my body is demanding more, I'll go to another and drop the extra dinero.

The Gold's Gym in my area has only two squat racks...one dude there was squating down for a couple of inches and the other guy was curling in the rack. They have 7 benches for chest though....my university's gym has the same and it is free. There is this 24/7 gym, but they only have one squat rack and only go up to 100lbs. on dumbbells.

No basketball courts

It's a good gym for those just starting to work out or even those who only work out casually but honestly it just does not fit my needs. I need my free weights I cant rock with just the Smith Machine. I have heard a lot of people shyt on Planet Fitness tho.
