| - I enjoy feeling good. I know for a fact that the best way to feel really good is to look super suave. Now if you have a potbelly, that's not suave...it's more John Candy-ish...Just saying. Enter into the equation this gym, where anyone can feel at home. It has its perks and a few quirks as well. Let's grunt hard on this review...and get to it..go HARDER! HARDER! PUSH PUSH PUSH PUSH IT OUT!
~What To Do~
You can work out here at the gym. There are no extracurricular activities like swimming, or a basketball/multi-use court. They do have, the Black Card lounge where you can get a tan, choose from a variety of massages, or use a machine that inexplicably will help tone your skin. They have a bevvy of machines from assisted free-weights to the standard machine-aided fitness options.
~The Good~
Like most workout facilities these days, Planet Fitness has a low fee enrollment and offers separate packages to suit different clients needs. I am a Black Card holder, so I am entitled to their massage chairs which really do the trick if you are knotted up...plus the payments are simple @ $20 /month and the contract is nothing to snuff about. They have enough machines that you almost never have to call next, save for the Smith Press' they have out.
I also have to say: This is by FAR and away the cleanest gym I have ever seen. It is spotless, even the showers are immaculate each time I go in. Same with the walkways and machines, always are brightly shined and no evidence of wear. The atmosphere at this gym is very relaxed, like they say: No Lunks! Simply put, they do not take any Macho Man weight lifters intimidating clientele. I must concur that I definitely feel comfortable as I slowly gain strength, and have never once felt awkward or out of place.
~The Bad~
There is not much, but they are important. I must knock them for a couple things. First off their consistent need to be inclusive is a bit much for me. The bagel and pizza days earn an automatic star off, just for hosting those. There is no reason to have that....none. Since when are you supposed to encourage us to eat these carbs and fat laden foods? Also they have NO scales, and demand that I do not "grunt it out" if on a tough set. That's another star off. Its just the lack of interest in those who are truly here to work out, that irks me.
~The Downlow~
I mean....this is more indicative of 3.5 stars, but as always, there are no half stars. If you are a gym rat and really tear the gym apart with your workouts: STAY AWAY. This place is for those content with losing some weight, gaining some muscles and not doing so in a hardcore manner. The lack of some equipment is definitely off-putting for some who train in gyms, as is the fact that they only go up to certain weights for the dumbells. I am not at that level yet, bu I know for a fact that dumbells and such go much higher. They also lose stars for attempting to appeal to the Average Joe...Honestly this place is clean, always open, and the staff are friendly. No trainers walk around haggling you to join with them....Overall a great place to work out, with a few things that may/may not put you off a bit
