Ok. So we use to belong to the Lifetime Club in Scottsdale. While luxurious - it was way too intense and ungodly expensive. The people were rarely genuine and mostly into appearance vs. just focusing on the workouts. Then the equipment was always breaking! The club was always trying to up-sell training fees and various products to you.
Fast forward now to recently joining the Planet Fitness close to my new residence and we are TOTALLY enjoying the experience. Laid back, great/simple machines, awesome circuit set-ups, clean facility, functional/comfy locker rooms + showers and free tanning (not that I would use that,) hydro massages and electronic chair massages! PLUS I can bring my 15 y/o kid as a guest for FREE. All for 20 bucks a month. AND open 24/7. ANNNND I can go to any location I want. Are you kidding me? My kid loves it and says he prays this location never goes anywhere. I'm sorry it took us this long to join.
